basis points with a 30-year term. Beginning in May 2009, these securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at par value at any scheduled quarterly interest payment date. As of June 30, 2010, none of these preferred securities have been redeemed.
     The Companys investment of $0.9 million in the Issuer Trust is carried at cost in Other assets in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The sole asset of the Issuer Trust consists of a $30.9 million junior subordinated debenture issued by the Company to the Issuer Trust. Due to the underlying characteristics of this debt, the carrying value of the debenture approximates its estimated fair value.
     The Company has also guaranteed the dividend payments and redemption of the preferred securities issued by the Issuer Trust. The maximum amount of undiscounted future payments the Company could make under the guarantee is approximately $57.4 million, consisting of annual dividend payments of approximately $1.2 million until maturity and the redemption value of the preferred securities of $30.0 million. Because payment under the guarantee would only be required if the Company does not fulfill its obligations under the debentures held by the Issuer Trust, the Company has not recorded any additional liabilities related to this guarantee.
     The junior subordinated debenture bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 337.5 basis points and matures in April 2034. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the interest rate on the junior subordinated debenture was 3.811% and 4.258%, respectively.
     The Company does not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
     A summary of the Companys commitments as of June 30, 2010 is presented in the following table (in millions):

factors. Currently, the Companys equity portfolio is comprised solely of mutual funds related to the Companys deferred compensation plan, which is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Due to the nature of the plan, the Company does not assert the ability to hold these securities until their recovery in value. As such, if any of these securities are in an unrealized loss position, they are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
     For equity securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment loss has been identified, the security is written down to fair value and the resulting losses are recognized in realized gains/losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
     Fixed income securities in an unrealized loss position that the Company intends to sell, or it more likely than not will be required to sell before recovery of amortized cost, are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. These securities are written down to fair value and the resulting losses are recognized in realized gains/losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
     The remaining fixed income securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated to determine if a credit loss exists. To determine if a credit loss exists, the Company considers a number of factors including, but not limited to: (a) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (b) credit ratings of the securities, (c) whether the debtor is current on interest and principal payments (d) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than book value and (e) general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors.
     In addition to these factors, the Company considers the results of discounted cash flow modeling using assumptions representative of current market conditions as well as those specific to the Companys particular security holdings. For asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, the focus of this analysis is on assessing the sufficiency and quality of underlying collateral and timing of cash flows. If the discounted expected cash flows for a security equal or exceed the amortized cost of that security, no credit loss exists and the security is deemed to be temporarily impaired.
     Fixed income securities in an unrealized loss position for which management believes a credit loss exists are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. For these fixed income securities, the Company bifurcates OTTI losses into a credit component and a non-credit component. The credit component, which represents the difference between the discounted expected cash flows and the fixed income securitys amortized cost, is recognized in earnings. The non-credit component is recognized in other comprehensive income and represents the difference between fair value and the discounted cash flows that the Company expects to collect.
     At June 30, 2010, the Company holds 294 fixed income securities in an unrealized gain position with a total estimated fair value of $1,251.4 million and an aggregate gross unrealized gain of $75.3 million.
     The following table summarizes securities in a gross unrealized loss position by investment category and by credit rating. The table also discloses the corresponding count of securities in an unrealized loss position and estimated fair value by category (in thousands of dollars):
