	 	1.	Subject to your execution and continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Release Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide you with a severance payment in an
amount totaling $51,924.00 (gross), less all applicable payroll taxes and required or permitted withholdings (the “Severance Payment”). 

  

	 	2.	Your Severance Payment has been calculated as shown on the Severance Calculation Worksheet. The payment to be paid as soon as practicable after the Release Effective Date (as
defined below) and in any event no later than 60 days following the Release Effective Date. If you are offered and accept another employment opportunity with the Company before any portion of the Severance Payment has been made or commenced, you
will no longer be eligible for any Severance Payment, and this Release Agreement will be null and void. Further, if any portion of the Severance Payment has been made, and you are then offered re-employment with the Company, your eligibility for any
remaining portions of the Severance Payment will terminate as a condition of re-employment and the Company will not provide you with any additional portions of the Severance Payment from the date you become re-employed by the Company. If any portion
of the Severance Payment has been paid to you prior to such date, this Release Agreement will not be null and void and will remain in effect, even if you do not receive the full amount of the original Severance Payment. You understand
and agree that this Release Agreement, and the payments provided thereunder shall in no way be deemed to constitute or give rise to a continuing employment relationship between you and the Company after your Termination Date or entitle you to any
other benefits to which employees of the Company may be entitled after your Termination Date. The Severance Payment is in addition to all wages and unused vacation earned through the Termination Date. 

	 	3.	 You acknowledge and agree that you are not otherwise entitled to receive the Severance Payment unless you agree to the terms of this Release Agreement. In exchange
for the Severance Payment, you, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby knowingly and voluntarily release the Company and any and all of its parent, subsidiary, affiliated or related companies,

invalid, or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and as may be legal, valid and enforceable. 

  

	 	16.	A waiver by any party of a breach of any of the provisions of this Release Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Release Agreement
or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this release Agreement. The understandings and representations of the parties set forth in this Release Agreement shall survive any breach of this Release Agreement and be enforceable

 Exhibit 10.1 
 ASSIGNMENT NO. 31 OF RECEIVABLES IN ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTS, dated as of August 17, 2009, by and between CHASE BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Bank”), as Transferor (in
such capacity, the “Transferor”), and the CHASE ISSUANCE TRUST (the “Trust”), pursuant to the Agreement referred to below, and acknowledged by the Bank in its capacity as servicer under the Agreement referred to below (in such
capacity, the “Servicer”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Bank, as Transferor, Servicer and Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Indenture Trustee and Collateral Agent, and the Trust are parties to the Third Amended and Restated Transfer and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2007, as amended by the First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Transfer and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2009 (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, the Transferor
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 the Trust; and

 WHEREAS, the Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, is willing to accept such designation and conveyance subject to the terms and
conditions hereof; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Transferor and the Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, 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.

 “Addition Cut-Off Date” shall mean, with respect to the Additional Accounts designated hereby, July 31, 2009.

 “Addition Date” shall mean, with respect to the Additional Accounts designated on Schedule 1 hereto, August 17,
2009. 
 “Notice Date” shall mean, with respect to the Additional Accounts designated on Schedule 1 hereto, August 5,
2009 which shall be a date on or prior to the third Business Day prior to the Addition Date with respect to additions pursuant to subsection 2.12(a) of the Agreement and the fifth Business Day prior to the Addition Date with respect to additions
pursuant to subsection 2.12(b) of the Agreement. 
 2. Designation of Additional Accounts. No later than five Business Days after the
Addition Date, the Transferor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, as designee, on behalf of the Trust, a true and complete list (in the form of a computer file, microfiche list, CD-ROM or such other form as is agreed upon between the Transferor

 
and the Collateral Agent) of each VISA®
 and MasterCard® account which, as of the Addition Date, shall be deemed to be an Additional Account, identified by
account number and the aggregate amount of the Receivables in each such Additional Account as of the Addition Cut-Off Date, and stating to which Asset Pool each such Additional Account belongs, which list shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this
Assignment and, as of the Addition Date, shall modify and amend and be incorporated into and made part of the Agreement and shall supplement Schedule 1 to the Agreement. 
 3. Conveyance of Receivables. 
 (a) The Transferor does hereby sell, transfer and
assign to the Trust all right, title and interest, whether owned on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter acquired, of the Transferor in the Receivables existing on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter created in the Additional Accounts, all
Interchange and Recoveries related thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the applicable UCC) thereof and all Insurance
Proceeds related thereto. This Section 3(a) does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or assumption by the Trust, the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity), the Indenture Trustee, the applicable
Collateral Agent, any Noteholders, any Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider or any Derivative Counterparty of any obligation of the Transferor or any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under any agreement or
instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to Obligors, merchant banks, merchants clearance systems, VISA®,
MasterCard® or insurers. 
 (b) The Transferor hereby grants to the Trust a security interest in all of its right, title and interest, whether owned on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter acquired, of the Transferor in the Receivables
existing on the Addition Cut-Off Date or thereafter created in the Additional Accounts, all Interchange and Recoveries related thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and the
“proceeds” (including “proceeds” as defined in the applicable UCC) thereof and all Insurance Proceeds related thereto to secure a loan in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the
Indenture and the applicable Indenture Supplement and accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto. This Assignment constitutes a security agreement under the UCC. 
 (c) If necessary, the Transferor agrees to record and file, at its own expense, financing statements (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables in Additional Accounts existing on the
Addition Cut-Off Date and thereafter created meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the sale and assignment of its interest in such
Receivables to the Trust, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to the Owner Trustee on or prior to the Addition Date. The Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file
such financing or continuation statements or to make any filing under the UCC in connection with such sale and assignment. 
  

 2 

 (d) In connection with such transfers, the Transferor further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to
the date of this Assignment, to indicate in the appropriate computer files that Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts and designated hereby have been conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Assignment for the benefit of the
Noteholders. 
 (e) The parties hereto agree that all transfers of Receivables to the Trust pursuant to this Assignment are subject to, and
shall be treated in accordance with, the Delaware Act and each of the parties hereto agrees that this Assignment has been entered into by the parties hereto in express reliance upon the Delaware Act. For purposes of complying with the requirements
of the Delaware Act, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that any property, assets or rights purported to be transferred, in whole or in part, by the Transferor pursuant to this Assignment shall be deemed to no longer be the property, assets or
rights of the Transferor. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each such transfer is occurring in connection with a “securitization transaction” within the meaning of the Delaware Act. 
 4. Acceptance by Owner Trustee on Behalf of the Trust. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right,
title and interest in and to the Receivables in the Additional Accounts now existing and hereafter created, conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof and declares that the Trust shall maintain such right, title and interest, upon
the trust herein set forth, for the benefit of the Noteholders. 
 5. Representations and Warranties of the Transferor. The Transferor
hereby represents and warrants to the Trust as of the date of this Assignment (or such other date specified below) as follows: 
 (a)
Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. This Assignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Transferor enforceable against the Transferor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of
equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity); 
 (b) Eligibility of Accounts. As of the Addition Cut-Off Date, each
Additional Account designated hereby was an Eligible Account; 
 (c) Insolvency. As of each of the Addition Cut-Off Date and the
Addition Date, no Insolvency Event with respect to the Transferor has occurred and the transfer by the Transferor of Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts to the Trust has not been made in contemplation of the occurrence thereof;

and Recoveries related thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and the “proceeds” (including “proceeds” as defined in the applicable UCC) thereof and Insurance Proceeds
related thereto, or, if this Assignment does not constitute a sale of such property, the Agreement as amended by this Assignment constitutes a grant of a “security interest” (as defined in the applicable UCC) in such property to the Trust,
which, in the case of existing Receivables and the proceeds thereof, is enforceable upon execution and delivery of this Assignment, and which will be enforceable with respect to such Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof upon such
creation. Upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 3 of this Assignment and, in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, the Trust shall have a first priority
perfected security or ownership interest in such property; 
 (f) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the Transferor of this
Assignment, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment and the fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the Transferor, will not conflict with or violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the Transferor or conflict
with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to
which the Transferor is a party or by which it or its properties are bound; 
 (g) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or
investigations, pending or, to the best knowledge of the Transferor, threatened against the Transferor before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality (i) asserting the invalidity of
this Assignment, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Transferor, would materially and
adversely affect the performance by the Transferor of its obligations under this Assignment or (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Assignment; and

 (h) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of any court or other governmental authority required to be
obtained by the Transferor in connection with the execution and delivery of this Assignment by the Transferor and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment by the Transferor, have been obtained.
