<P>On February 16, 2006, we announced that 16.1 million of our equity units were settled.  The settlement consisted of the holders of the equity units purchasing and us issuing approximately 19.5 million shares of our common stock.  As a result, the equity units were suspended from trading before the opening of business on February 16, 2006.  We received approximately $402 million in cash from this settlement which was used to reduce short-term debt.  Holders of the equity units received 1.2119 shares of our common stock for each equity unit they owned; the last quarterly contract adjustment payment of 4.5 percent; and the last quarterly coupon payment of 4.0 percent on the original notes.  Total outstanding shares of common stock are now 117.2 million.</TD>
