                April 21, 2006 the Company refinanced its existing Credit Agreement,
                which
                represents primarily all of its long-term debt. The new Agreement
                is an
                unsecured, revolving credit facility provided by a syndicate of financial
                institutions with a commitment of $400.0 million and a maturity date
                of
                April 21, 2011. The new revolving credit facility allows for the
                issuance
                of letters of credit and cash borrowings. Letter of credit outstandings
                are limited to no more than $100.0 million with cash borrowings limited
                by
                the facility&#8217;s maximum availability less letter of credit outstandings.
                Cash borrowings under the new credit facility bear interest at either
                a
                base rate or at an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus an applicable
                margin.&#160;The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based
                upon the
                credit ratings the facility receives from Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s and

Entry
                into a Material Definitive Agreement
(a)
On
                April 21, 2006 the Company refinanced its existing Credit Agreement,
                which
                represents primarily all of its long-term debt. The new Agreement
                is an
                unsecured, revolving credit facility provided by a syndicate of financial
                institutions with a commitment of $400.0 million and a maturity date
                of
                April 21, 2011. The new revolving credit facility allows for the
                issuance
                of letters of credit and cash borrowings. Letter of credit outstandings
                are limited to no more than $100.0 million with cash borrowings limited
                by
                the facility's maximum availability less letter of credit outstandings.
                Cash borrowings under the new credit facility bear interest at either
                a
                base rate or at an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus an applicable
                margin. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based
                upon the
                credit ratings the facility receives from Standard & Poor's and
                Moody's.
