briefly outlines some provisions of the Indenture. If you would like more information on these provisions, you should review the Indenture and any supplemental indentures or company orders that we have filed or will file with the SEC. See <I>Where
You Can Find More Information</I> on page 2 on how to locate these documents. You may also review these documents at the Trustee&#146;s offices at 311 South Wacker Drive, Suite 6200B, Floor 62, Chicago, Illinois, 60606. </P>

one or more series or tranches upon the approval of our board of directors and as described in one or more company orders or supplemental indentures. Each series of Senior Notes may differ as to their terms. The Indenture also gives us the ability

for any other series of Senior Notes issued and outstanding under the Indenture. If an event of default occurs and continues, the Trustee or the holders of at least 33% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes of the series affected may require
us to repay the entire principal of the Senior Notes of such series immediately (&#147;Repayment Acceleration&#148;). In most instances, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes of the affected series may
rescind a previously triggered Repayment Acceleration. However, if we cause an event of default because we have failed to pay (unaccelerated) principal, premium, if any, or interest, Repayment Acceleration may be rescinded only if we have first
cured our default by depositing with the Trustee enough money to pay all (unaccelerated) past due amounts and penalties, if any. </P>

principal amount of the Senior Notes of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to, or exercising any trust or power conferred on, the Trustee with respect to such Senior Notes. </P>

the Junior Subordinated Indenture dated March&nbsp;1, 2008 (the &#147;Subordinated Indenture&#148;) between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to The Bank of New York), as the trustee (the &#147;Subordinated
Indenture Trustee&#148;). This prospectus briefly outlines some provisions of the Subordinated Indenture. If you would like more information on these provisions, you should review the Subordinated Indenture and any supplemental indentures or company
orders that we will file with the SEC. See <I>Where You Can Find More Information</I> on how to locate these documents. You may also review these documents at the Subordinated Indenture Trustee&#146;s offices at 2 North LaSalle Street, Chicago,
Illinois. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The Junior Subordinated Debentures are unsecured obligations and are junior in right of payment to &#147;Senior
Indebtedness&#148;. You may find a description of the subordination provisions of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, including a description of Senior Indebtedness under <I>Subordination</I>. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Because we are a holding company, the claims of creditors of our subsidiaries will have a priority over our equity rights and
the rights of our creditors (including the holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures) to participate in the assets of the subsidiary upon the subsidiary&#146;s liquidation. </P>

issue Junior Subordinated Debentures from time to time under the Subordinated Indenture in one or more series by entering into supplemental indentures or by our Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee authorizing the issuance. The
Subordinated Indenture also gives us the ability to reopen a previous issue of a series of Junior Subordinated Debentures and issue additional Junior Subordinated Debentures of such series. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">A pricing or prospectus supplement will include the final terms for each Junior Subordinated Debenture. If we decide to list
upon issuance any Junior Subordinated Debenture or Junior Subordinated Debentures on a securities exchange, a pricing or prospectus supplement will identify the exchange and state when we expect trading could begin. The following terms of the Junior
Subordinated Debentures that we may sell at one or more times will be established in a prospectus supplement: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a &#147;clearing
agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5&nbsp;million issues of U.S. and
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC&#146;s participants (&#147;Direct Participants&#148;) deposit with DTC. DTC also
facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants&#146; accounts. This
eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and
certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing
Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT>
securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (&#147;Indirect Participants&#148;). The DTC Rules

the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security (&#147;Beneficial Owner&#148;) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants&#146; records. Beneficial Owners will not receive
written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect
Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial
Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. </P>

amendments to the securities documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative,
Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. </P>

accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers
in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name&#148;, and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of
redemption proceeds and distributions to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is our responsibility, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of

to, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of

a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In addition, statutory indemnification may not be
provided in derivative actions (i)&nbsp;which are settled or otherwise disposed of or (ii)&nbsp;in which the director or officer is adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent a court determines that the person is fairly and

by the corporation upon receipt of an undertaking to repay them if and to the extent the recipient is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification. Section&nbsp;725 provides for repayment of such expenses when the recipient is ultimately
found not to be entitled to indemnification. Section&nbsp;726 provides that a corporation may obtain indemnification insurance indemnifying itself and its directors and officers. </P>

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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue. </P></TD></TR></TABLE>
