securities under this prospectus in one or more offerings in an unlimited amount. As allowed by the SEC rules, this prospectus does not contain all of the information included in the registration statement. For further information, we refer to the
registration statement, including its exhibits. Statements contained in this prospectus about the provisions or contents of any agreement or other document are not necessarily complete. If the SEC&#146;s rules and regulations require that an

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a general description of the debt securities that we may offer from time to time. We will issue the debt securities under an indenture dated
February&nbsp;8, 2001, as amended, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. A copy of the indenture is filed as or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We may issue
debt securities from time to time in one or more series. We will describe in a prospectus supplement the particular terms of each series, or of debt securities forming a part of a series, which are offered by that prospectus supplement. If any
information in the prospectus supplement differs from the general terms described below, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement with respect to the particular debt securities being offered. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description of the debt securities summarizes certain of the material provisions of the indenture and the debt securities. This summary is not
intended to be a full restatement of all the terms of the debt securities. We urge you to read the indenture and, with respect to any particular debt securities, the indenture supplement related to such debt securities which will be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement or supplements, because they, and not this description, will define your rights as a holder of the debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
numerical references in parentheses below are to sections of the indenture. Unless otherwise indicated, terms used in the following summary that are defined in the indenture have the meanings used in the indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conduct substantially all our business through subsidiaries. Although the debt securities are our senior obligations, they are effectively subordinated to
all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries. The indenture does not restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to incur indebtedness. Because we are a holding company, our ability to service our indebtedness is dependent on dividends and
other payments made to us on our investments in our subsidiaries. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides that a corporation is empowered to indemnify any person who is or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company or is or was serving, at the request of the company, in any of
such capacities of another corporation or other enterprise, if such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The statute describes in detail the right of the company to indemnify any such person. Article XII of the Company&#146;s amended and
restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws</FONT> provides for indemnification of the Company&#146;s directors, officers, employees and agents for expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid in settlement with respect to threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a company to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the
corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith which included
engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Article VXII of the Company&#146;s
restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted under the aforementioned Delaware statute. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has in effect a policy insuring itself, its subsidiaries and their respective directors and officers, to the extent they may be required or
permitted to indemnify such officers or directors, against certain liabilities arising from acts or omissions in the discharge of their duties that they become legally obligated to pay. </P>

under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;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

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 SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to

prospectus (the &#147;Prospectus&#148;) which is part of the Registration Statement. The Prospectus provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more supplements to the Prospectus (each, a &#147;Prospectus Supplement&#148;). I have
examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Indenture and the originals or certified, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies of such records and other documents as I have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions
set forth below. In such examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents
submitted to me as certified, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based upon my examination
described above, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, I am of the opinion that: (a)&nbsp;when the Debt Securities of any series have been established in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and approved by the Board
of Directors or a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with resolutions authorizing the issuance and delivery of the Debt Securities, duly authenticated by the Trustee and duly executed and delivered on behalf of
the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture and as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s); and (b)&nbsp;when the Registration
Statement and any required post-effective amendments thereto have all become effective under the Securities Act; and (c)&nbsp;assuming that the terms of the Debt Securities as executed and delivered are as described in the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s); and (d)&nbsp;assuming that the Debt Securities as executed and delivered comply with all laws, requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company, whether imposed by any court or
governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company, the Debt Securities of such series will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms of such Debt
Securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing opinion is limited to the federal securities laws of the United States, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
and the laws of the State of New York. The foregoing opinion is also subject to: (i)&nbsp;bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights
and remedies of creditors; and (ii)&nbsp;general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, conscionability, good faith and fair dealing. In addition, I express no opinion with respect to whether acceleration of Debt
Securities may affect the collectability of any portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon. </P>

Trustee will be duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indenture; (iv)&nbsp;any applicable Supplement to the Indenture will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and will constitute a legal, valid
