 deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

Defeasance of Certain Covenants

Under the subordinated debt indenture (and unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of subordinated debt securities), on and after the 91 st day after making the deposit and delivering the legal opinion described in “Legal Defeasance” above, we will not need to comply with the covenants described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants that may be set forth in the applicable supplemental indenture, and any such noncompliance will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to the debt securities of that series. The foregoing is referred to as “covenant defeasance.”

Covenant Defeasance and Events of Default

If we exercise our option to effect covenant defeasance with respect to any series of subordinated debt securities and the subordinated debt securities of that series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any event of default, the amounts on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the subordinated debt securities of that series at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the subordinated debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the event of default, we will remain liable for those payments.

We expect that the senior debt indenture will contain provisions substantially similar in all material respects to the provisions of the subordinated debt indentures discussed in this section “Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances,” which will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement.
