ITEM 3.03.  MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

Upon issuance of the Series L Preferred Stock (as defined in Item 5.03 below) on January 29, 2008, the ability of the Registrant to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, shares of its Junior Stock (as defined below) and Parity Stock (as defined below) will be subject to certain restrictions in the event that the Registrant fails to declare and pay full dividends (or declare and set aside a sum sufficient for payment thereof) on its Series L Preferred Stock.  "Junior Stock" means the Registrant's common stock and any other class or series of stock of the Registrant now existing or hereafter authorized over which the Series L Preferred Stock has preference or priority in the payment of dividends.  "Parity Stock" means any class or series of the stock of the Registrant that ranks on a par with the Series L Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Registrant. The restrictions are set forth in the Certificate of Designations described in Item 5.03 below. 

ITEM 5.03.          AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS;
     CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

On January 28, 2008, the Registrant filed a Certificate of Designations (the "Certificate of Designations") with the Delaware Secretary of State for the purpose of amending its Certificate of Incorporation to fix the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of its 7.25% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, Series L, $0.01 par value per share (the "Series L Preferred Stock").  The Series L Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share.  The Certificate of Designations is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 8.01.  OTHER ITEMS.

By action dated January 28, 2008, a Committee previously appointed by the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved and ratified the public offering of up to 6,900,000 shares of the Series L Preferred Stock to Banc of America Securities LLC, as the sole underwriter (the "Underwriter") and otherwise established the terms and conditions of the Series L Preferred Stock.  On January 24, 2008, the Registrant entered into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter (the "Underwriting Agreement") for the Series L Preferred Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Registrant granted the Underwriter an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of Series L Preferred Stock, which option the Underwriter exercised in full on January 25, 2008. The terms of the offering are described in the Registrant's Prospectus dated May 5, 2006 constituting a part of the Registration Statement (hereinafter described), as supplemented by a Final Prospectus Supplement dated January 24, 2008.  The Underwriting Agreement is included as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

            The shares of Series L Preferred Stock were issued pursuant to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-133852, on a delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
