to a particular series of preferred shares which will be described in more detail in a prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will also state whether any of the generalized provisions summarized below do not apply to the depositary shares
or depositary receipts being offered. A copy of the form of deposit agreement, including the form of depositary receipt, will be filed with the SEC at the time of the offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part. You can obtain copies of these documents when they are filed by following the directions outlined in &#147;Where You Can Find Additional Information.&#148; </P>

have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. The prospectus supplement relating to a series of depositary shares will include the name and address of the depositary. Under the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will
be entitled, in proportion to its fractional interest in a preferred share underlying that depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of that preferred share, including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion, and exchange and liquidation
rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will

the general public without charge. A company is required to maintain its share register in Bermuda but may, subject to the provisions of Bermuda law, establish a branch register outside Bermuda. We maintain a share register in Hamilton, Bermuda. A
company is required to keep at its registered office a register of its directors and officers that is open for inspection for not less than two (2)&nbsp;hours each day by members of the public without charge. Bermuda law does not, however, provide a

that purpose, provided the director is served with at least 14 days&#146; notice. The director has a right to be heard at that meeting. Any vacancy created by the removal of a director at a special or general meeting may be filled at that meeting by
the election of another director in his or her place or, in the absence of any such election, by the board of directors. For these purposes &#147;cause&#148; means willful neglect, willful default, fraud or dishonesty. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amendment of Memorandum of Association</I>. Bermuda law provides that the Memorandum of Association of a company may be amended by a
resolution passed at a general meeting of shareholders of which due notice has been given. Generally, our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-laws</FONT> may be amended by the directors with the approval of a majority being not less than 75% of the
votes of the shareholders in a general meeting. However, a super-majority vote is required for certain resolutions relating to the variation of class rights, the removal of directors for cause by shareholders, the approval of business combinations
with certain &#145;interested persons&#146; and for any alteration to the provisions of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-laws</FONT> relating to the staggered board, removal of directors and business combinations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Bermuda law, the holders of an aggregate of no less than 20% in par value of a company&#146;s issued share capital or any class of

share capital as provided in the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. Where such an application is made, the amendment becomes effective only to the extent that it is confirmed by the Bermuda Court. An application for the annulment of an amendment of the
Memorandum of Association must be made within 21 days after the date on which the resolution altering the company&#146;s memorandum is passed and may be made on behalf of the persons entitled to make the application by one or more of their number as
they may appoint in writing for the purpose. Persons voting in favor of the amendment may make no such application. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Appraisal rights
and shareholder suits</I>. Under Bermuda law, in the event of an amalgamation or merger involving a Bermuda company, a shareholder who is not satisfied that fair value has been paid for his shares may apply to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair
value of his or her shares. The amalgamation or merger of a company with another company requires the amalgamation or merger agreement to be approved by the board of directors and, except where the amalgamation or merger is between a holding company
and one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries or between two or more wholly owned subsidiaries, by meetings of the holders of shares of each company and of each class of such shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Class&nbsp;actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under Bermuda law. The Bermuda Court, however, would
ordinarily be expected to permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of a company to remedy a wrong done to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company or is illegal or would result
in the violation of the company&#146;s Memorandum of Association or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-laws.</FONT> Further consideration would be given by the Bermuda Court to acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud against the minority
shareholders or, for instance, where an act requires the approval of a greater percentage of the company&#146;s shareholders than that which actually approved it. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Most offered securities will be book-entry (global) securities. Upon issuance, all book-entry securities will be represented by one or more
fully registered global securities, without coupons. Each global security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation, or DTC, a securities depositary, and will be registered in the name of
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or another nominee of DTC. DTC, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such nominee, will thus be the only registered holder of these securities. Except as set forth below, the registered global securities may be transferred, in whole but not
in part, only to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchasers of securities may only
hold interests in the global securities through DTC if they are participants in the DTC system. Individual certificates in respect of the securities will not be issued in exchange for the registered global securities, except in very limited
circumstances. Purchasers may also hold interests through a securities intermediary&#151;banks, brokerage houses and other institutions that maintain securities accounts for customers&#151;that has an account with DTC or its nominee. DTC will
maintain accounts showing the security holdings of its participants, and these participants will in turn maintain accounts showing the security holdings of their customers. Some of these customers may themselves be securities intermediaries holding
securities for their customers. Thus, each beneficial owner of a book-entry security will hold that security indirectly through a hierarchy of intermediaries, with DTC at the top and the beneficial owner&#146;s own securities intermediary at the
bottom. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The securities of each beneficial owner of a book-entry security will be evidenced solely by entries on the books of the
beneficial owner&#146;s securities intermediary. The actual purchaser of the securities will generally not be entitled to have the securities represented by the global securities registered in its name and will not be considered the owner under the
declaration. In most cases, a beneficial owner will also not be able to obtain a paper certificate evidencing the holder&#146;s ownership of securities. The book-entry system for holding securities eliminates the need for physical movement of
certificates and is the system through which most publicly traded common shares are held in the United States. However, the laws of some jurisdictions require some purchasers of securities to take physical delivery of their securities in definitive
form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer book-entry securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Title to book-entry interests in the securities will pass by
book-entry registration of the transfer within the records of DTC in accordance with its procedures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If DTC notifies us that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as a clearing system in connection with the registered global securities or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor clearing system is not appointed by us within 90 days after
receiving that notice from DTC or upon becoming aware that DTC is no longer so registered, we will issue or cause to be issued individual certificates in registered form on registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, book-entry interests in the
securities represented by registered global securities upon delivery of those registered global securities for cancellation. We may also permit beneficial owners of book-entry securities represented by a global security to exchange their beneficial
interests for definitive (paper) securities if, in our sole discretion, we decide to allow some or all book-entry securities to be exchangeable for definitive securities in registered form. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless we indicate otherwise, any global security that is exchangeable will be exchangeable in whole for definitive securities in registered
form, with the same terms and of an equal aggregate principal amount. Definitive securities will be registered in the name or names of the person or persons specified by DTC in a written instruction to the registrar of the securities. DTC may base
its written instruction upon directions that it receives from its participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this prospectus, for book-entry securities, references
