"Safe Harbor" - Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information on this Website may contain projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or future financial performance. Chesapeake cautions you that these statements are only predictions and that actual events or results may differ materially. Chesapeake refers you to the documents it files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These documents contain and identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or forward-looking statements, including, among others, potential fluctuations in quarterly results, rapid market change, risks associated with Internet infrastructure, volatility of stock price, financial risk management and future growth subject to risks. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are detailed from time to time in reports filed with the SEC, including Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K, and may include the following:

Factors affecting operations, such as: unusual weather conditions, catastrophic weather-related damage, environmental incidents and unusual maintenance and repairs;
State and Federal legislative and regulatory developments;
The effects of present and prospective competition;
Financial or regulatory accounting principles and policies imposed by governing bodies;
The effects of geopolitical events, including the threat of domestic terrorism;
Changing market conditions and other factors related to physical and financial energy trading activities, including price, basis, counterparty credit risk, liquidity, volatility, capacity, transmission, currency exchange rates, interest rates and warranty risks; and
Financial market conditions.

Chesapeake has based the forward-looking statements on its beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements were made. Chesapeake cautions the reader not to place undue reliance on its forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may and often do materially differ from actual results. Chesapeake undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.

When federal jurisdiction does not exist over that action, suit or proceeding, you and Chesapeake designate the District Court for Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, for the exclusive resolution of that dispute and submit to the jurisdiction of that court.

If any provision is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.
