Item 5. Other Events ------------ On June 19, 1996, the Series 1996-3 Supplement and the Series 1996-4 Supplement, each dated as of June 1, 1996, to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1991 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between The Chase Manhattan Bank (USA), as Seller and Servicer, and Yasuda Bank and Trust Company (USA), as Trustee, was executed and delivered by the respective parties thereto. Chase USA is incorporated under the laws of Delaware and, as a state chartered non-member bank, is regulated by the Office of the Delaware State Bank Commissioner and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Chase USA intends, however, to apply to the United States Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller") for conversion to a national bank charter. If such application is approved, Chase USA would become a national bank and would be regulated primarily by the Comptroller. Chase USA expects that such conversion would have no material effect on the Chase Credit Card Master Trust or the Certificateholders. Item 7.
