W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS,
Chase USA and Chase Card Funding are parties to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2016 (hereinafter as such agreement may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the
“Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, Chase USA wishes to designate Additional Accounts to be included as
Accounts and to convey hereby the Receivables of such Additional Accounts (as each such term is defined in the Agreement), whether now existing or hereafter created, to Chase Card Funding; and 

WHEREAS, Chase Card Funding is willing to accept such designation and conveyance subject to the terms and conditions hereof; 

NOW, THEREFORE, Chase USA and Chase Card Funding, hereby agree as follows: 

1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement unless otherwise defined
herein or, if not defined therein, in the Indenture (as defined in the Agreement).

amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the applicable UCC) thereof. This subsection 3(a) does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or assumption by

perfection of, the sale and assignment of its interest in such Receivables to Chase Card Funding, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to Chase Card Funding on or prior to the Addition
Date. Chase Card Funding shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing or continuation statements or to make any other filing under the UCC in connection with such sale and assignment. 

(d) In connection with such transfers, Chase USA further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the date of this Assignment, to indicate
