Reference is made to Registrant's shelf Registration Statement, on
Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-65597), filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") on October 13, 1998, as thereafter amended (as amended, the
"Registration Statement"), for the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of $110,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Registrant's
unsecured debt securities (the "Debt Securities") that Registrant may issue in
one or more series from time to time under Registrant's Indenture, dated as of
April 1, 1992 (the "Indenture"), to U.S. Bank Trust National Association
(formerly known as First Trust of New York, National Association) (as successor
Trustee to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York), as Trustee. On January 7,
1999, the SEC declared the Registration Statement effective.
In connection with is medium-term note program, on January 8, 1999,

Agreement, dated January 8, 1999, with certain investment banking firms (the

On June 13, 2000, Registrant issued and sold through certain of the
Agents a tranche of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000
