ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), a corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that the person
<PAGE> 3
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of such corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The DGCL also permits indemnification by a corporation under similar
circumstances for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such persons in connection with the defense or settlement of a
derivative action, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to such corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that
such person, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
The DGCL provides that the indemnification described above shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other indemnification to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled pursuant to its By-Laws, disinterested
directors' vote, stockholders' vote, agreement or otherwise.
The DGCL also provides corporations with the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against
him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her
against such liability as described above.
Chase's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest
extent that the DGCL as from time to time in effect permits the limitation or
elimination of the liability of directors, no director of Chase shall be
personally liable to Chase or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director.
Chase's Restated Certificate of Incorporation empowers Chase to indemnify any
director, officer, employee or agent of Chase or any other person who is serving
at Chase's request in any such capacity with another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, an
employee benefit plan) to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL as from
time to time in effect, and any such indemnification may continue as to any
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and may inure
to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Chase's Restated Certificate of Incorporation also empowers Chase by action of
its Board of Directors, notwithstanding any interest of the directors in the
action, to purchase and maintain insurance in such amounts as the Board of
Directors deems appropriate to protect any director,
<PAGE> 4
officer, employee or agent of Chase or any other person who is serving at
Chase's request in any such capacity with another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, an
employee benefit plan) against any liability asserted against him or her or
incurred by him or her in any such capacity arising out of his or her status as
such (including, without limitation, expenses, judgments, fines (including any
excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan) and
amounts paid in settlement) to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL as
from time to time in effect, whether or not Chase would have the power or be
required to indemnify any such individual under the terms of any agreement or
by-law or the DGCL.
In addition, Chase's By-laws require indemnification to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, as from time to time in effect. The By-laws
provide a clear and unconditional right to indemnification for expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by any person in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, administrative or investigative (including, to the
extent permitted by law, any derivative action) by reason of the fact that such
person is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of Chase or,
at the request of Chase, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, an employee benefit
plan). The By-laws specify that the right to indemnification so provided is a
contract right, set forth certain procedural and evidentiary standards
applicable to the enforcement of a claim under the By- laws and entitle the
persons to be indemnified to have all expenses incurred in advance of the final
disposition of a proceeding paid by Chase. Such provisions, however, are
intended to be in furtherance and not in limitation of the general right to
indemnification provided in the By-laws, which right of indemnification and of
advancement of expenses is not exclusive.
Chase's By-laws also provide that Chase may enter into contracts with any
director, officer, employee or agent of Chase in furtherance of the
indemnification provisions in the By-laws, as well as create a trust fund, grant
a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter
of credit) to ensure payment of amounts indemnified.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section 145
of the DGCL and the By-Laws of Chase.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
<PAGE> 6
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
