        <div style="text-align:center; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">RISK FACTORS </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;font-style:italic;">Before making a decision to invest in the notes, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and the risks described in the accompanying prospectus and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&#160;31, 2018, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The following is not intended as, and should not be construed as, an exhaustive list of relevant risk factors. There may be other risks a prospective investor should consider that are generally relevant to the investor or are specific to the investor&#8217;s own particular circumstances. If any of the matters included in the following risk factors were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Risk Factors Related to the Offering </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">As a holding company, we depend on the operations of our subsidiaries, including our Insurance Subsidiaries, to meet our obligations, including our obligations under the notes. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The notes are exclusively obligations of Selective Insurance Group, Inc. We are a holding company and a legal entity separate and distinct from our subsidiaries. We conduct substantially all our operations through our subsidiaries. As a holding company without significant operations of our own, our principal sources of funds are dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries. Subject to existing or future contractual obligations between us and our subsidiaries, our subsidiaries have no obligation to provide us with funds for our payment obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. State insurance laws also limit the ability of insurance companies to pay dividends or other distributions and require insurance companies to maintain specified levels of statutory capital and surplus. Additionally, payment of dividends by our Insurance Subsidiaries may require prior regulatory notice or approval. Consequently, our ability to pay debts, including our obligations under the notes, and other liabilities and expenses may be limited. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our future secured debt and structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The notes will be unsecured, general obligations of ours. None of our subsidiaries will guarantee our obligations under, or have any obligation to pay any amounts due on, the notes. As a result, the notes will be effectively subordinated to claims of our existing and future secured creditors to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness and structurally subordinated to the existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Holders of any future secured indebtedness will have claims that are superior to your claims as holders of the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing that other indebtedness. If any of our assets are distributed or paid in any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured indebtedness may assert rights against any assets securing such indebtedness in order to receive full payment of their debt before those assets may be used to pay the holders of the notes. In any of the foregoing events, there may not be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that ranks equally in right of payment with the notes, and potentially with all our other general creditors, based on the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. As a result, holders of notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of secured indebtedness. In addition, the indenture governing the notes permits us to incur additional debt, including secured debt. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Our rights to participate in any distribution of subsidiary assets are subject to prior claims of policyholders and creditors (except to the extent that our rights, if any, as a creditor are recognized). Therefore, in the event of the insolvency or liquidation of a subsidiary, following the subsidiary&#8217;s payment of its liabilities, such subsidiary may not have sufficient remaining assets to make payments to us as a shareholder or otherwise. If a subsidiary defaults under any credit arrangement or other indebtedness, its creditors could accelerate such debt prior to such subsidiary distributing amounts to us that we could use to make payments on the notes. In addition, if we caused a subsidiary to pay to us a dividend to make payment on the notes, and such dividend were determined to be a fraudulent transfer, holders of the notes would be required to return the payment to the subsidiary&#8217;s creditors. As of December&#160;31, 2018, our </div>

        <div style="width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">subsidiaries had approximately $110.0&#160;million of long-term indebtedness outstanding and no short-term indebtedness outstanding. Our subsidiaries also have liabilities associated with insurance policies issued by the subsidiaries, reinsurance obligations and other trade payables and expenses.</div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review by one or more rating agencies, will generally affect the market value of the notes. These credit ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks relating to the notes. Credit ratings are limited in scope and an explanation of the rating&#8217;s significance may be obtained from the issuing rating agency. Agency credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the issuing organization. Each agency&#8217;s rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency&#8217;s rating. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Except for certain limitations on liens on stock of Restricted Subsidiaries, the indenture does not contain restrictive covenants. Therefore, holders of the notes may not be protected in the event we are involved in a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or other transaction in the future. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Except for certain limitations on liens on stock of Restricted Subsidiaries, the indenture under which the notes will be issued does not contain restrictive covenants. The indenture does not contain: </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">As a result, the indenture may not sufficiently protect holders of notes if we are involved in a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or other transaction. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">An active after-market for the notes may not develop. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The notes constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. An active after-market for the notes may not develop or be sustained, and holders of the notes may not be able to sell their notes at favorable prices or at all. Although the underwriters have indicated to us that they intend to make a market in the notes, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any such market-making at any time without notice. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The market prices of the notes may be volatile. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The market prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following: </div>

        <div style="text-align:center; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR NOTES </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;font-style:italic;">The following description of the particular terms of the notes supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of debt securities, including the notes, set forth in the accompanying prospectus. Reference is made to the accompanying prospectus for a summary of certain additional provisions of the notes. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;font-style:italic;">The notes will be issued as a separate series of senior debt securities under the indenture, dated as of February&#160;8, 2013, as supplemented by a second supplemental indenture, which we will enter into in connection with this offering, between Selective Insurance Group, Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the &#8220;indenture&#8221;). We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not the summaries below and in the accompanying prospectus, defines your rights. You may obtain a copy of the indenture from us without charge. See &#8220;Where You Can Find More Information&#8221; in the accompanying prospectus. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the accompanying prospectus and the indenture. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">General </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We will initially issue $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes. The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of&#8201; $2,000 and integral multiples of&#8201; $1,000 in excess thereof. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.375% per annum. Interest will accrue from March 1, 2019, or from the most recent interest payment date to which we paid or duly provided for interest. We will pay interest on the notes semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2019. Interest payments will be made to the persons or entities in whose names the notes are registered at the close of business on February 15 and August 15, as the case may be, whether or not a business day, immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day&#160;months. The notes will mature on March 1, 2049. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If any date on which interest is payable on the notes is not a business day, then payment of principal and interest will be made on the next business day as if it were made on the date the payment was due. No interest will accrue due to any such delay in payment on the amount so payable for the period from such interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be, to the date payment is made. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The notes will be represented by one or more global notes deposited with or on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (&#8220;DTC&#8221;), or a nominee thereof. The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar for the notes. Except as otherwise provided in the indenture, the notes will be registered in the name of that depositary or its nominee. We will pay principal and interest on the notes to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner or the holder of the global note. As provided by the indenture, at our option, interest may be paid at the trustee&#8217;s corporate office or by check mailed to the registered address of the holder of record. See &#8220;Book-Entry System&#8221; below and in the accompanying prospectus. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Our Insurance Subsidiaries are subject to supervision and regulation by the insurance regulatory authorities in the various jurisdictions in which they conduct business. Regulation is intended for the benefit of policyholders rather than shareholders or holders of debt securities. Insurance regulatory authorities have broad regulatory, supervisory and administrative powers relating to solvency standards, licensing, policy rates and forms and the form and content of financial reports. Regulatory actions may affect our ability to implement our business objectives. Also, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&#160;31, 2018 under the heading &#8220;We are a holding company and our ability to declare dividends to our shareholders, pay indebtedness, and enter into affiliate transactions may be limited because our Insurance Subsidiaries are regulated,&#8221; we are limited in the amount of dividends that our Insurance Subsidiaries can pay us without regulatory notice or approval. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The notes will be our unsecured senior obligations and will rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. In addition, we are structured as a holding company and conduct most of our business operations through our subsidiaries. The notes will be effectively subordinated to claims of our existing and future secured creditors to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness and structurally subordinated to the existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">As of December&#160;31, 2018, after giving effect to this offering and the planned use of proceeds therefrom, we would have had an aggregate of&#8201; $439.4 million of senior indebtedness outstanding, no secured indebtedness outstanding, and a total of&#8201;&#8201; $30.0&#160;million available under our Line of Credit. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">As of December&#160;31, 2018, our subsidiaries had approximately $110.0&#160;million of long-term indebtedness outstanding and no short-term indebtedness outstanding. Our subsidiaries also have liabilities associated with insurance policies issued by the subsidiaries, reinsurance obligations and other trade payables and expenses. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Optional Redemption </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Prior to the Par Call Date, we may redeem the notes at our option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: </div>

        <div style=" float:left; margin-top:6.59pt; margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:12pt; text-align:left; width:415.5pt;">the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes being redeemed (assuming, that the notes being redeemed matured on the Par Call Date), exclusive of interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of redemption, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day&#160;months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points. </div>
        <div style="clear:both; padding:0pt; margin:0pt;font-size:0pt;line-height:0pt;">&#8203;</div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">On or after the Par Call Date, we may redeem the notes at our option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">In each case, we will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">&#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;">Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations</font>&#8221; means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a&#160;percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00&#160;p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">&#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;">Treasury Rate</font>&#8221; means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a&#160;percentage of its principal amount) equal to the related Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated by us on the third business day preceding the redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of&#8201; &#8220;Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations&#8221; above, the term &#8220;business day&#8221; means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Notice of redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered at least 15 but not more than 60&#160;days before the redemption date to each holder of record of the notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the notes will state, among other things, the amount of notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the manner in which the redemption price will be calculated and the place that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of notes to be redeemed. Unless we default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on any notes that have been called for redemption at the redemption date. If less than all of the notes of a series are to be redeemed, the notes of such series to be redeemed will be selected according to DTC procedures, in the case of notes represented by a global note, or by lot, in the case of notes that are not represented by a global note. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The terms of the notes provide that we and our Restricted Subsidiaries may not incur any indebtedness secured by a lien on the capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary unless the notes are secured equally and ratably with that indebtedness. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may discharge certain obligations to holders of the notes which have not already been delivered to the trustee for cancellation and which have either become due and payable or are by their terms due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one year) by irrevocably depositing with the trustee cash or, in the case of notes payable only in U.S. dollars, U.S. government obligations (as defined in the indenture), as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, the principal of&#8201;&#8201; (and premium, if any) and interest on such notes. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may elect to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the notes (except as otherwise provided in the indenture) (&#8220;defeasance&#8221;), upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust for such purpose, of money and/or government obligations which, through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest the notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon. As a condition to defeasance, we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel and an officer&#8217;s certificate, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such defeasance have been complied with. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Book-Entry System </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Upon issuance, all notes will be represented by one or more fully registered global certificates, each of which we refer to as a global security. Each such global security will be deposited with or on behalf of DTC, and registered in the name of DTC or a nominee thereof. Purchasers of the notes will hold beneficial interests in the notes only through DTC, or through the accounts that Clearstream Banking, S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV maintain as participants in DTC. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may limit or impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the notes in global form. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Further Issues </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">From time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the notes, we may create and issue further notes ranking <font style="font-style:italic;">pari&#160;passu </font>with, and having the same terms as, these notes, in all material respects, except for (i)&#160;the issue date and public offering price or payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or (ii) the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes. Such further notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the notes offered hereby, provided that such further notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with these notes. </div>

        <div style="text-align:center; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The following is a discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of the notes by a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined below) that purchases the notes pursuant to and at the price indicated on the cover of this prospectus supplement and holds the notes as &#8220;capital assets&#8221; (generally, property held for investment purposes) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;Code&#8221;), the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the &#8220;Treasury Regulations&#8221;), judicial decisions and current administrative rulings and practice, all as in effect and available as of the date of this offering memorandum and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (&#8220;IRS&#8221;) has been or is expected to be sought on any of the issues discussed herein, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will concur with the conclusions reached below. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">This discussion does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation which may be important to particular investors in light of their individual investment circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, partnerships and their partners, tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations), qualified retirement plans, &#8220;controlled foreign corporations,&#8221; &#8220;passive foreign investment companies,&#8221; holders subject to the alternative minimum tax and certain former citizens and former long-term residents of the United States), or to persons that will hold the notes as part of a broader transaction, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. Furthermore, this discussion does not address any other U.S. federal tax consequences (e.g., estate or gift tax or the Medicare tax on net investment income) or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences applicable to them in their particular circumstances. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">For the purposes of this summary, a &#8220;Non-U.S. Holder&#8221; is a beneficial owner of a note that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not (i)&#160;a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation created in, or organized under the law of, the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, (iii)&#160;an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, (iv) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise elected to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code, or (v)&#160;a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners and partnerships are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to them. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Interest </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">A Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on payments of interest on the notes provided that (1)&#160;such interest is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder (and, if required under an applicable treaty, such interest is not attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained within the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder) and (2)&#160;the Non-U.S. Holder (a)&#160;does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to vote, (b)&#160;is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of the Code), and (c)&#160;certifies, under penalties of perjury, to the applicable withholding agent on IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or appropriate substitute form) that it is not a U.S. person and that no withholding is required pursuant to Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (&#8220;FATCA&#8221;) (discussed below), and provides its name, address and certain other required information or certain other certification requirements are satisfied. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If interest on the notes is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by a Non-U.S. Holder but such Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the other requirements </div>

      <div style="margin-top:46pt;margin-left:70pt;width:456pt;">
        <div style="width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">outlined in the preceding paragraph, interest on the notes will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax (currently imposed at a 30% rate), unless the withholding tax rate is reduced or eliminated by an applicable treaty, and such Non-U.S. Holder is a qualified resident of the treaty country and complies with certain certification requirements. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If interest on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by a Non-U.S. Holder and, if required under an applicable treaty, such interest is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base within the United States, then the Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the receipt or accrual of such interest on a net income basis in the same manner as if such holder were a U.S. person and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation, may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax (currently imposed at a rate of 30%, or a lower applicable treaty rate) on its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to adjustments. Any such interest will not also be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, however, if the Non-U.S. Holder delivers to us a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Sale, Exchange, Retirement or Other Disposition of the notes </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:5.8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Except with respect to accrued but unpaid interest, which will generally be taxed as described above under &#8220;&#8212; Interest,&#8221; a Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (or any withholding thereof) with respect to gain, if any, recognized upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the notes unless (1)&#160;the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder and, if required under an applicable treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States, or (2)&#160;in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is an individual, such holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year in which the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition occurs and certain other conditions are satisfied. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis (but not U.S. withholding tax), in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person, and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation, may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax (currently imposed at a rate of 30%, or a lower applicable treaty rate) on its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments. An individual Non-U.S. Holder who is subject to U.S. federal income tax because the Non-U.S. Holder was present in the United States for 183&#160;days or more during the year of sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the notes will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from such sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition, which may be offset by certain U.S.-source capital losses. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:5.81pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Withholding at a rate of 30% will generally be required in certain circumstances on interest payable on the notes held by or through certain financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution (i)&#160;enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons or by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or other guidance, may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which the notes are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, interest payable on the notes held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i)&#160;certifies that such entity does not have any &#8220;substantial United States owners&#8221; or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity&#8217;s &#8220;substantial United States owners,&#8221; which will in turn be provided to the United States Department of the Treasury. We will not pay any additional amounts to investors in respect of any amounts withheld. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on an investment in the notes. </div>

        <div style="text-align:center; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">ERISA CONSIDERATIONS </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan to which Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (&#8220;ERISA&#8221;) applies (an &#8220;ERISA plan&#8221;) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the plan&#8217;s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the notes. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the plan. When we use the term &#8220;holder&#8221; in this section, we are referring to a beneficial owner of the notes and not the record holder. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Section&#160;406 of ERISA and Section&#160;4975 of the Code, prohibit ERISA plans, as well as individual retirement accounts and other plans and arrangements to which Section&#160;4975 of the Code applies (with ERISA plans, &#8220;plans&#8221;), from engaging in specified transactions involving &#8220;plan assets,&#8221; including transactions involving fiduciary conflicts of interest, and transactions with persons who are &#8220;parties in interest&#8221; under ERISA or &#8220;disqualified persons&#8221; under the Code (collectively, &#8220;parties in interest&#8221;) with respect to such plan. A violation of those &#8220;prohibited transaction&#8221; rules may result in excise excise taxes and other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section&#160;4975 of the Code for such persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. Therefore, a fiduciary of a plan should also consider whether an investment in the notes might constitute or give rise to a prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We, our affiliates and the underwriters and their affiliates each may be considered a party in interest with respect to many plans. Special caution, therefore, should be exercised before the notes are purchased by a plan. Among other things, the fiduciary of the plan should consider whether exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. The U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions (&#8220;PTCEs&#8221;) that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of the notes. Those class exemptions include: </div>

The PSLRA provides a safe harbor under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act for forward-looking statements. These statements relate to our intentions, beliefs, projections, estimations or forecasts of future events or future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause us or the industry&#8217;s actual results, levels of activity, or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by use of the words such as &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;target,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;pro&#160;forma,&#8221; &#8220;seek,&#8221; &#8220;likely,&#8221; or &#8220;continue&#8221; or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions, and we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. We undertake no obligation, other than as may be required under the federal securities laws, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those we have projected, forecasted or estimated in forward-looking statements are discussed in further detail in the section &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement and page 4 of the accompanying prospectus and those risk factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&#160;31, 2018. These risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors emerge from time-to-time. We can neither predict such new risk factors nor can we assess the impact, if any, of such new risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this report. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.</div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other business combination involving an interested stockholder holding 10% or more of the voting power of our capital stock requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock unless the transaction has been approved by a majority of those members of the Board who are not affiliated with the interested stockholder or unless the interested stockholder offers a fair price and reasonably uniform terms to all other stockholders, as described in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Additionally, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that a director may be removed from office by our stockholders only for cause and by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote for the election of directors. The vote of two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock are required to amend or repeal these provisions. </div>

State insurance laws require prior approval by state insurance departments of any acquisition of control of an insurance company domiciled in the state or a company which controls an insurance company domiciled in the state. For this purpose, control generally includes ownership of 10% or more of the voting securities of, or the possession of proxies representing 10% or more, of an insurance company or insurance holding company, unless the state insurance commissioner determines otherwise. As such, any purchase of 10% or more of our common stock could require approval of the insurance departments in the states mentioned above.</div>

        <div style="text-align:center; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The following description of the debt securities outlines some of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities which may be offered hereunder by us from time to time. This information may not be complete in all respects and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable indenture and its associated documents. The specific terms of any series of debt securities offered hereunder will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If so described in a prospectus supplement, the terms of that series of debt securities may differ from the general description of terms presented below. In addition, the applicable prospectus supplement will show a ratio of earnings to fixed charges in accordance with SEC rules. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may issue debt securities either separately or together with, or upon the conversion of, or in exchange for, other securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may issue senior or subordinated debt securities (including senior subordinated and junior subordinated debt securities). Neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured by any of our property or assets or the property or assets of our subsidiaries. Thus, by owning a debt security, you are one of our unsecured creditors. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The senior debt securities and, in the case of senior debt securities in bearer form, any related interest coupons, will be issued under our senior debt indenture described below and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The subordinated debt securities and, in the case of subordinated debt securities in bearer form, any related interest coupons, will be issued under our senior subordinated debt indenture or our junior subordinated debt indenture described below and will be subordinate in right of payment to all of our &#8220;senior indebtedness,&#8221; as defined in the applicable subordinated debt indenture. None of the indentures limit our ability to incur additional unsecured indebtedness. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">When we refer to &#8220;debt securities&#8221; in this prospectus, we mean both the senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities. When we refer to &#8220;subordinated debt securities&#8221; in this prospectus, we mean both the senior subordinated debt securities and the junior subordinated debt securities. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">The Senior Debt Indenture, Senior Subordinated Debt Indenture, and Junior Subordinated Debt Indenture </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The senior debt securities may be issued from time to time in series under the senior debt indenture dated as of February&#160;8, 2013, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the &#8220;senior debt indenture&#8221;). Wherever defined terms are used but not defined in this section of the prospectus, those terms have the meanings assigned to them in the senior debt indenture, it being intended that those defined terms will be incorporated herein by reference. The senior debt indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder and will govern debt securities up to the aggregate principal amount that we may authorize from time to time. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The subordinated debt securities may be issued from time to time in series under the &#8220;senior subordinated debt indenture&#8221; or the &#8220;junior subordinated debt indenture&#8221;. Each indenture is a contract between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The indentures are substantially identical, except for the provisions relating to subordination, which are included only in the senior subordinated debt indenture and the junior subordinated debt indenture. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Reference to the indenture or the trustee with respect to any debt securities, means the indenture under which those debt securities are issued and the trustee under that indenture. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">The trustee has two main roles: </div>
        <div style=" float:left; margin-left:20pt; line-height:12pt; margin-top:7.39pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-align:left; width:20pt;white-space:nowrap;">1.<br ></div>
        <div style=" float:left; margin-top:7.39pt; margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:12pt; text-align:left; width:415.5pt;">The trustee can enforce the rights of holders against us if we default on our obligations under the terms of the indenture or the debt securities. </div>
        <div style="clear:both; padding:0pt; margin:0pt;font-size:0pt;line-height:0pt;">&#8203;</div>
        <div style=" float:left; margin-left:20pt; line-height:12pt; margin-top:8.38pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-align:left; width:20pt;white-space:nowrap;">2.<br ></div>
        <div style=" float:left; margin-top:8.38pt; margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:12pt; text-align:left; width:415.5pt;">The trustee performs administrative duties for us, such as sending interest payments and notices to holders, and transferring a holder&#8217;s debt securities to a new buyer if a holder sells. </div>
        <div style="clear:both; padding:0pt; margin:0pt;font-size:0pt;line-height:0pt;">&#8203;</div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The indenture and its associated documents contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. The indenture and the debt securities are governed by New York law. A copy of each indenture is an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may issue as many distinct series of debt securities under any of the indentures as we wish. The provisions of the senior debt indenture, the senior subordinated debt indenture and junior subordinated debt indenture allow us not only to issue debt securities with terms different from those previously issued under the applicable indenture, but also to &#8220;reopen&#8221; a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series. We may issue debt securities in amounts that exceed the total amount specified on the cover of your prospectus supplement at any time without your consent and without notifying you. In addition, we may offer debt securities, together in the form of&#160;units with other debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and preferred stock or common stock, as described below under &#8220;Description of Purchase Contracts and Purchase Units.&#8221; </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">This section summarizes the material terms of the debt securities that are common to all series, although the prospectus supplement that describes the terms of each series of debt securities may also describe differences from the material terms summarized here. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the debt securities. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the indenture, including definitions of certain terms used in the indenture. In this summary, we describe the meaning of only some of the more important terms. For your convenience, we also include references in parentheses to certain sections of the indenture. Whenever we refer to particular sections or defined terms of the indenture in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement, such sections or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein or in the prospectus supplement. The forms of senior debt indenture, the senior subordinated debt indenture and junior subordinated debt indenture are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and are incorporated by reference herein. The indentures are subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. You should refer to the applicable indenture for the provisions that may be important to you. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">This summary also is subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the particular terms of your series described in the prospectus supplement. Those terms may vary from the terms described in this prospectus. The prospectus supplement relating to each series of debt securities will be attached to the front of this prospectus. There may also be a further prospectus supplement, known as a pricing supplement, which contains the precise terms of debt securities you are offered. In addition, we may also incorporate additional information concerning the debt securities by reference into registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. See the section entitled &#8220;Where You Can Find More Information.&#8221; </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may issue the debt securities as original issue discount securities, which may be offered and sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. (Section&#160;3.01). The prospectus supplement relating to the original issue discount securities will describe federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to them. The debt securities may also be issued as indexed securities or securities denominated in foreign currencies or currency&#160;units, as described in more detail in the prospectus supplement relating to any of the particular debt securities. The prospectus supplement relating to specific debt securities will also describe certain additional tax considerations applicable to such debt securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">In addition, the specific financial, legal and other terms particular to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement and, if applicable, a pricing supplement relating to the series.

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Holders may have their debt securities broken into more debt securities of smaller denominations of not less than $1,000 or combined into fewer debt securities of larger denominations, as long as the total principal amount is not changed. (Section&#160;3.05). This is called an exchange. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Holders may exchange or transfer debt securities at the office of the trustee. They may also replace lost, stolen or mutilated debt securities at that office. The trustee acts as our agent for registering debt securities in the names of holders and transferring debt securities. We may change this appointment to another entity or perform it ourselves. The entity performing the role of maintaining the list of registered holders is called the security registrar. It will also perform transfers. (Section&#160;3.05). The trustee&#8217;s agent may require an indemnity before replacing any debt securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Holders will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange debt securities, but holders may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the exchange or transfer. The transfer or exchange will only be made if the security registrar is satisfied with your proof of ownership. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If we designate additional transfer agents, they will be named in the prospectus supplement. We may cancel the designation of any particular transfer agent. We may also approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts. (Section&#160;12.02). </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If the debt securities are redeemable, we may block the transfer or exchange of debt securities during the period beginning 15&#160;days before the day we mail the notice of redemption and ending on the day of that mailing, in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers or exchanges of debt securities selected for redemption, except that we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any debt security being partially redeemed. (Section&#160;3.05). </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The rules for exchange described above apply to exchange of debt securities for other debt securities of the same series and kind. If a debt security is convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into or for a different kind of security, such as one that we have not issued, or for other property, the rules governing that type of conversion, exercise or exchange will be described in the prospectus supplement. </div>

        <div style="width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Global Securities </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with or on behalf of a depositary identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Global securities will be issued in registered form and may be in either temporary or permanent form. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The related prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to that series of debt securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, global securities to be deposited with or on behalf of a depositary will be registered in the name of that depositary or its nominee. Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary for that global security will credit the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by such global security to the participants that have accounts with that depositary or its nominee. Ownership of beneficial interests in those global securities will be limited to participants in the depositary or persons that may hold interests through these participants. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">A participant&#8217;s ownership of beneficial interests in these global securities will be shown on the records maintained by the depositary or its nominee. The transfer of a participant&#8217;s beneficial interest will only be effected through these records. A person whose ownership of beneficial interests in these global securities is held through a participant will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest within that participant will be effected only through, records maintained by the participant. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Limits and laws of this nature may impair your ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Except as set forth below and in the indenture, owners of beneficial interests in the global security will not be entitled to receive debt securities of the series represented by that global security in definitive form and will not be considered to be the owners or holders of those debt securities under the global security. Because the depositary can act only on behalf of participants, which in turn act on behalf of indirect participants, the ability of beneficial owners of interests in a global security to pledge such interests to persons or entities that do not participate in the depositary system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests. No beneficial owner of an interest in the global security will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with the depositary&#8217;s applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under the applicable indenture and, if applicable, those of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System, Clearstream International and/or any other relevant clearing system. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We will make payment of principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on global securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner or the holder of the global security. None of us, the trustee, any paying agent or the securities registrar for those debt securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests. (Section&#160;3.09). </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We expect that the depositary for a permanent global security, upon receipt of any payment in respect of a permanent global security, will immediately credit participants&#8217; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of that global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global security held through those participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#8220;street name,&#8221; and will be the responsibility of those participants. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have any debt securities represented by one or more global securities. In such event, we will issue debt securities in definitive form in exchange for all of the global securities representing such debt securities. (Section&#160;3.05).</div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security may, on terms acceptable to us and the depositary, receive debt securities of that series in definitive form. In that event, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of debt securities of the series represented by that global security equal in principal amount to that beneficial interest and to have those debt securities registered in its name. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Registered and Bearer Securities </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Registered securities may be exchangeable for other debt securities of the same series, registered in the same name, for the same aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations and will be transferable at any time or from time to time at the office of the trustee. The holder will not pay a service charge for any such exchange or transfer except for any tax or governmental charge incidental thereto. (Section&#160;3.05). We may also have the option of issuing debt securities in non-registered form, as bearer securities, if we issue the debt securities outside the United States to non-U.S. person and if permitted by applicable laws and regulations. In such case, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms upon which registered securities may be exchanged for bearer securities of the series. If any bearer securities are issued, any restrictions applicable to the offer, sale or delivery of bearer securities and the terms upon which bearer securities may be exchanged for registered securities of the same series will be described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also describe the requirements with respect to our maintenance of offices or agencies outside the United States and the applicable U.S. federal tax law requirements. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Payment and Paying Agents </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We will pay interest to the person listed in the trustee&#8217;s records at the close of business on a particular day in advance of each due date for interest, even if that person no longer owns the debt security on the interest due date. Except as otherwise will be stated in the prospectus supplement, the record date will be the last day of the calendar month preceding an interest due date if such interest due date is the fifteenth day of the calendar month and will be the fifteenth day of the calendar month preceding an interest due date if such interest due date is the first day of the calendar month. (Section&#160;3.08). Holders buying and selling debt securities must work out between them how to compensate for the fact that we will pay all the interest for an interest period to the one who is the registered holder on the regular record date. The most common manner is to adjust the sale price of the securities to pro-rate interest fairly between buyer and seller. This prorated interest amount is called accrued interest. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We will pay interest, principal and any other money due on the debt securities at the corporate trust office of the trustee, currently located at 60 Livingston Ave., St. Paul, Minnesota 55107. Holders must make arrangements to have their payments picked up at or wired from that office. We may also choose to pay interest by mailing checks. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">BOOK-ENTRY AND OTHER INDIRECT HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR BANKS, BROKERS OR OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS FOR INFORMATION ON HOW THEY WILL RECEIVE PAYMENTS. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may also arrange for additional payment offices and may cancel or change these offices, including our use of the trustee&#8217;s corporate trust office. These offices are called paying agents. We may also choose to act as our own paying agent or choose one of our subsidiaries to do so. We must notify the trustee of any changes in the paying agents for any particular series of debt securities. (Section&#160;12.02). </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Notices </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We and the trustee will send notices regarding the debt securities only to holders, using their addresses as listed in the trustee&#8217;s records. (Section&#160;1.06). </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Regardless of who acts as paying agent, all money paid by us to a paying agent that remains unclaimed at the end of two&#160;years after the amount is due to holders will be repaid to us. After that two-year period, holders may look to us for payment and not to the trustee or any other paying agent. (Section&#160;6.05). </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If the conditions described above are satisfied with respect to any series of debt securities, we will not need to obtain the approval of the holders of those debt securities in order to merge or consolidate or to sell our assets. Also, these conditions will apply only if we wish to merge or consolidate with another entity or sell substantially all of our assets to another entity. We will not need to satisfy these conditions if we enter into other types of transactions, including any transaction in which we acquire the stock or assets of another entity, any transaction that involves a change of control but in which we do not merge or consolidate, any transaction in which we sell less than substantially all of our assets and any merger or consolidation in which we are the surviving corporation. (Section&#160;10.01). It is possible that this type of transaction may result in a reduction in our credit rating, may reduce our operating results or may impair our financial condition. Holders of our debt securities, however, will have no approval right with respect to any transaction of this type. </div>

We may modify or amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of each series affected by the modification or amendment.

Senior subordinated debt securities are subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner stated in the senior subordinated debt indenture or any supplement thereto to all of our senior indebtedness, as defined in the senior subordinated debt indenture, including all debt securities we have issued and will issue under the senior debt indenture.

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the senior subordinated and junior subordinated indentures define the term &#8220;senior indebtedness&#8221; with respect to each respective series of senior subordinated and junior subordinated debt securities, to mean the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all indebtedness and obligations of, or guaranteed or assumed by us, whether outstanding on the date of the issuance of subordinated debt securities or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed and all amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions, deferrals and refundings of any such indebtedness unless the instrument creating such indebtedness or obligations provides that they are subordinated or are not superior in right of payment to the subordinated debt securities. In the case of the junior subordinated indenture, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, senior indebtedness also includes all subordinated debt securities issued under the senior subordinated indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, senior indebtedness will not include (A) any obligation of us to any of our subsidiaries, (B) any liability for Federal, state, local or other taxes owed or owing by us or our subsidiaries, (C) any accounts payable or other liability to trade creditors (including guarantees thereof or instruments evidencing such liabilities), or (D) any obligations with respect to any of our capital stock. </div>

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the foregoing limitations will also apply to payments in respect of the junior subordinated debt securities in the case of an event of default under the senior subordinated indebtedness. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If there is any payment or distribution of our assets to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding, holders of all present and future senior indebtedness (which will include interest accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding) are entitled to receive payment in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, in respect of the subordinated indebtedness. In addition, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in any such event, payments or distributions that would otherwise be made on subordinated or junior subordinated debt securities will generally be paid to the holders of senior indebtedness, or their representatives, in accordance with the priorities existing among these creditors at that time until the senior indebtedness is paid in full. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">After payment in full of all present and future senior indebtedness, holders of subordinated debt securities will be subrogated to the rights of any holders of senior indebtedness to receive any further payments or distributions that are applicable to the senior indebtedness until all the subordinated debt securities are paid in full. The senior subordinated and junior subordinated indentures provide that the foregoing subordination provisions may not be changed in a manner which would be adverse to the holders of senior indebtedness without the consent of the holders of such senior indebtedness. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Even if the subordination provisions prevent us from making any payment when due on the subordinated debt securities of any series, we will be in default on our obligations under that series if we do not make the payment when due. This means that the trustee under the subordinated debt indenture and the holders of that series can take action against us, but they will not receive any money until the claims of the holders of senior indebtedness have been fully satisfied. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The indenture permits us to be discharged from our obligations under the indenture and the debt securities if we comply with the following procedures. This discharge from our obligations is referred to in this prospectus as defeasance. (Section&#160;6.02). </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, if we deposit with the trustee sufficient cash and/or U.S. government securities to pay and discharge the principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, to the date of maturity of that series of debt securities, then from and after the ninety-first day following such deposit: </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Following defeasance, holders of the applicable debt securities would be able to look only to the defeasance trust for payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on their debt securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Defeasance may be treated as a taxable exchange of the related debt securities for obligations of the trust or a direct interest in the money or U.S. government securities held in the trust. In that case, holders of debt securities would recognize gain or loss as if the trust obligations or the money or U.S. government securities held in the trust, as the case may be, had actually been received by the holders in exchange for their debt securities. Holders thereafter might be required to include as income a different amount of income than in the absence of defeasance. We urge prospective investors to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences of defeasance. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Events of Default </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The indenture provides holders of debt securities with remedies if we fail to perform specific obligations, such as making payments on the debt securities. You should review these provisions carefully in order to understand what constitutes an event of default under the indenture. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Unless stated otherwise in the prospectus supplement, an event of default with respect to any series of debt securities under the indenture will be: </div>

These institutions may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Indemnification; Other Relationships </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may have agreements with agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms, and their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business. This includes commercial banking and investment banking transactions. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Market-Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">There is currently no market for any of the offered securities, other than the common stock which is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. If the offered securities are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and other factors. While it is possible that an underwriter could inform us that it intends to make a market in the offered securities, such underwriter would not be obligated to do so, and any such market-making could be discontinued at any time without notice. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to whether an active trading market will develop for the offered securities. We have no current plans for listing of the debt securities, preferred stock or warrants on any securities exchange or on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. automated quotation system; any such listing with respect to any particular debt securities, preferred stock or warrants will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">In connection with any offering of common stock, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of common stock in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. &#8220;Covered&#8221; short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters&#8217; over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise </div>

        <div style="width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make &#8220;naked&#8221; short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">In connection with any offering, the underwriters may also engage in penalty bids. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Fees and Commissions </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the &#8220;FINRA&#8221;), the aggregate maximum discount, commission or agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be; however, it is anticipated that the maximum commission or discount to be received in any particular offering of securities will be significantly less than this amount.</div>
