INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

            The information set forth under “Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant” is incorporated herein by reference.

            On September 29, 2006, Registrant entered into a $250,000,000 364-day revolving credit agreement among Registrant, the Banks listed therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent (the “Agreement”).

            The proceeds of borrowings under the Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes, including commercial paper backstop, acquisitions and stock repurchases.

            Borrowings under the Agreement will bear interest at variable rates equal to, at Registrant’s election, (1) the higher of (a) the prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate plus 1/2% or (2) a euro-dollar rate plus an applicable margin based on Registrant’s credit rating or (3) a competitive bid rate. Registrant elects the basis of the interest rate at the time of each borrowing.

            The Agreement contains, among other things, conditions precedent, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of this type. Such covenants include certain restrictions on incurrence of secured indebtedness, consolidations and mergers, sales of assets and sale and lease-back transactions, subject to certain exceptions. The Agreement also includes a covenant under which Registrant would be in default if its debt to capital ratio were to exceed 60 percent. A complete copy of the Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

            Under certain conditions the lending commitments under the Agreement may be terminated by the lenders and amounts outstanding under the Agreement may be accelerated. Bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to Registrant or certain of its subsidiaries will result in an automatic termination of lending commitments and acceleration of the indebtedness under the Agreement. Subject to notice and cure periods in certain cases, other events of default under the Agreement will result in termination of lending commitments and acceleration of indebtedness under the Agreement at the option of the lenders. Such other events of default include failure to pay any principal when due, failure to comply with covenants, breach of representations or warranties in any material respect, non-payment or acceleration of other material debt of Registrant and its subsidiaries or a change of control of Registrant.

            From time to time, Registrant and the lenders under the Agreement (or affiliates of the lenders) may engage in other transactions, including arrangements under which a lender or an affiliate of the lender participates in interest rate swap or hedging arrangements with Registrant, serves as agent or placement agent for or purchaser of commercial paper issued by Registrant, provides cash management or commercial banking services to Registrant,
