relate. Other terms, and the particular terms of a specific series of debt securities (which differ from the terms described below), will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. The debt securities will be senior debt
securities or subordinated debt securities. The senior debt securities will be issued under an indenture (the &#147;Senior Indenture&#148;), to be entered into between us and a trustee named in the applicable prospectus supplement, as trustee (the
&#147;Senior Trustee&#148;), and the subordinated debt securities will be issued under a separate indenture (the &#147;Subordinated Indenture&#148;), to be entered into between us and a trustee to be named in the applicable prospectus supplement, as
trustee (the &#147;Subordinated Trustee&#148;). The term &#147;Trustee&#148; used in this prospectus shall refer to the Senior Trustee or the Subordinated Trustee, as appropriate. The Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture are sometimes
collectively referred to herein as the &#147;Indentures&#148; and individually as &#147;Indenture.&#148; The Indentures are subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the &#147;TIA&#148;), and may be supplemented from
time to time following execution. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms of the debt securities include those stated in the applicable Indenture and those made part

In the case of legal defeasance only, this opinion must be based on either a ruling received from or published by the Internal Revenue Service or a change in United States federal income tax law since the date of the Indenture. We may not have a

series as the board of directors may from time to time determine, each of said series to be distinctively designated. The voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations

and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities and
syndicate short positions involve the sale by the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase from us in the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid,
whereby selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if such securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions.
These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. These
transactions may be effected on The New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. These activities will be described in more detail in the sections entitled &#147;Plan of Distribution&#148; or &#147;Underwriting&#148; in the
applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

and in pertinent part that a Delaware corporation may indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines, and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative suit or action except actions by or in the right of the corporation if, in connection with the matters in issue, they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and in connection with any criminal suit or proceeding, if in connection with the matters in issue, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;145 further provides that in connection with the
defense or settlement of any action by or in the right of the corporation, a Delaware corporation may indemnify its directors and officers against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them if, in connection with the matters in issue, they
acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been
adjudged liable to the corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or other court in which such action or suit is brought approves such indemnification. Section&nbsp;145 further permits a Delaware corporation to grant its directors and
officers additional rights of indemnification through bylaw provisions and otherwise, and or purchase indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers. Article Eight of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant and
Article VII of the Bylaws of the registrant provide, in general, that the registrant may indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent of Delaware law. </P>
