Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 22, 2005, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to our $1.2 billion five-year credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders and as a Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Lenders. The Credit Agreement was originally effective on September 17, 2004, and the Fourth Amendment is effective as of September 1, 2005.

On September 22, 2005, we also entered into a First Amendment to our $1 billion, 364-day bridge credit facility ("Bridge Facility") with a syndicate of banks, co-managed by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and UBS Securities LLC. The Bridge Facility was originally effective on June 27, 2005, and the First Amendment is effective as of September 1, 2005.

The Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement and the First Amendment to the Bridge Facility both change the definition of Consolidated Net Worth to eliminate the effect of gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in our financial statements as a result of certain of our commodity hedging agreements. The current practical effect of the amendments is to increase the amount of indebtedness we may incur while maintaining compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the Bridge Facility that limit our debt-to-capital ratio.

Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
