DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
     We filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-118308) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 17, 2004 (the “Registration Statement”), registering an indeterminate amount of debt securities, having an aggregate offering price not to exceed $300,000,000, to be offered on a delayed or continuous basis. The SEC declared our Registration Statement effective on September 28, 2004.
     In accordance with the undertaking contained in Part II, Item 17 of the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, we are filing this post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to deregister the debt securities that remain unsold as of the date hereof, having an aggregate offering price not to exceed $100,000,000. We are deregistering these remaining securities because we have determined not to proceed with their offering as described in the Registration Statement.
