WHEREAS, the Company requests the Calculation Agent to perform
certain services described herein in connection with the Securities;

NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Calculation Agent agree as
follows:

1. Appointment of Agent. The Company hereby appoints
Lehman Brothers Inc. as Calculation Agent and Lehman Brothers Inc. hereby
accepts such appointment as the Company's agent for the purpose of
performing the services hereinafter described upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter mentioned.

2. Calculations and Information Provided. In response to a
request made by the Trustee for a determination of the Maturity Payment Amount
due at Stated Maturity of the Securities, the Redemption Payment Amount and the
Repurchase Payment Amount, the Calculation Agent shall determine such Payment
Amount and notify the Trustee of its determination. The Calculation Agent shall
also be responsible for (a) the determination of the Settlement Value, (b)

5. Terms and Conditions. The Calculation Agent accepts
its obligations herein set out upon the terms and conditions hereof, including
the following, to all of which the Company agrees:

(a) in acting under this Agreement, the Calculation Agent is
acting solely as an independent expert of the Company and does not
assume any obligation toward, or any relationship of agency or trust
for or with, any of the holders of the Securities;

(b) unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any order,
certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the
Company or the Trustee made or given under any provision of this
Agreement shall be sufficient if signed by any person who the
Calculation Agent reasonably believes to be a duly authorized officer
or attorney-in-fact of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be;

(c) the Calculation Agent shall be obliged to perform
only such duties as are set out specifically herein and any duties
necessarily incidental thereto;

(d) the Calculation Agent, whether acting for itself or in any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the
same rights as it would have had if it were not acting hereunder as
Calculation Agent; and

(e) the Calculation Agent shall incur no liability hereunder
except for loss sustained by reason of its gross negligence or wilful
misconduct.

6. Resignation; Removal; Successor. (a) The Calculation Agent
may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Company of such intention
on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become
effective, subject to the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and
acceptance of such appointment by such successor Calculation Agent, as
hereinafter provided. The Calculation Agent hereunder may be removed at any time
by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the
Company and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective.
Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by the
Company, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor Calculation Agent. In the event
a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed and has not accepted its
duties within 90 days of the Calculation Agent's notice of resignation, the
Calculation Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
designation of a successor Calculation Agent.

(b) In case at any time the Calculation Agent shall resign, or
shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or
consent to the appointment of a receiver or custodian of all or any substantial
part of its property, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its
debts as they mature, or if a receiver or custodian of it or all or any
substantial part of its property shall be appointed, or if any public officer
shall have taken charge or control of the Calculation Agent or of its property
or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a
successor Calculation Agent shall be appointed by the Company by an instrument
in writing, filed with the successor Calculation Agent. Upon the appointment as
aforesaid of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by the latter of such
appointment, the Calculation Agent so superseded shall cease to be Calculation
Agent hereunder.

execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor, to the Company and to the
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and agreeing to be
bound by the terms hereof, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such
predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Calculation Agent
hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements
then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over,
