Item 8.01 Other Events

On May 12, 2009, Chase Issuance Trust, a Delaware statutory business trust (the “Issuing Entity”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Indenture Trustee and Collateral Agent, entered into the Omnibus Addendum, dated as of May 12, 2009 (the “Omnibus Addendum”), to the various Terms Documents to the Third Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of December 19, 2007, as supplemented by the Second Amended and Restated Asset Pool One Supplement, dated as of December 19, 2007, and as further supplemented by the Amended and Restated CHASEseries Indenture Supplement, dated as of October 15, 2004. All conditions precedent to the execution of the Omnibus Addendum, including receipt of (i) written confirmation from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch, Inc. that such Omnibus Addendum will not result in a reduction, qualification with negative implications or withdrawal of any then current rating of any outstanding tranche of notes and (ii) a tax opinion addressing such Omnibus Addendum with respect to each outstanding tranche of notes, have been satisfied. The Omnibus Addendum is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Terms Documents modified by the Omnibus Addendum are among the material agreements that govern the series of notes called the CHASEseries. The CHASEseries consists of Class A notes, Class B notes and Class C notes.

The Omnibus Addendum increases the required enhancement level for each tranche of outstanding CHASEseries notes of each class.

 

  1. For each outstanding tranche of Class A notes, the percentage specified to determine the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes and the percentage specified to determine the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes have been respectively increased from 6.49718% to 8.13953%.

 

  2. For each outstanding tranche of Class B notes, the percentage specified to determine the Class B Required Subordinated Amount of Class C Notes has been increased from 6.10080% to 7.52688%.

 

  3.

For each outstanding tranche of Class C notes, the definition of Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been modified such that, for any Monthly Period, if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is greater than or equal to 4.50%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been increased from 0.00% to 1.50%; if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 4.50% but greater than or equal to 4.00%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been increased from 1.00% to 2.50%; if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 4.00% but greater than or equal to 3.50%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been increased from 1.50% to 3.00%; if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 3.50% but greater than or equal to 3.00%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been increased from 2.50% to 4.00%; if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 3.00% but greater than or equal to 2.50%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been increased from 4.00% to 5.50%; if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage for such Monthly Period is less than 2.50% but greater than or equal to 2.00%, the Class C Reserve Account Percentage has been increased from 5.00% to
