On August 27, 2004, we commenced a medium-term note program for the possible issuance, from time to time, of up to $200,000,000 of medium-term notes, Series F, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-111174, declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 24, 2003.
On August 27, 2004, we entered into a Distribution Agreement with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Banc of America Securities LLC, Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which we appointed each of them as our agent for the purpose of soliciting and receiving offers to purchase the medium-term notes. In addition, any agent may also purchase medium-term notes as principal pursuant to a terms agreement relating to the applicable sale.
The medium-term notes are issuable pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 1, 1993, by and between us and The Bank of New York (the “Indenture”). In connection with the commencement of our medium-term note program and pursuant to the Indenture, we delivered an Officers’ Certificate dated August 27, 2004 (the “Officers’ Certificate”) to The Bank of New York setting forth the terms of the medium-term notes.
We are filing with this current report the Distribution Agreement, the Officers’ Certificate, a form of fixed rate medium-term note, a form of floating rate medium-term note and the statement regarding computation of ratios.
