         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 whom
              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;

              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
              willful 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




                                                                               3

         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.

                  (c) Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall
         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, and
         such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, all
         moneys, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such
         predecessor, as Calculation Agent hereunder.

                  (d) Any corporation into which the Calculation Agent hereunder
         may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the
         Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
         from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Calculation
         Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Calculation
         Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the
         assets and business of the Calculation Agent shall be the successor
         Calculation Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing
         of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
         hereto.

         willful misconduct of the Calculation Agent or any of its agents or
         employees.

                                           [Calculation Agency Agreement]





                                     ANNEX A
                                     -------

               1. The Index.

                  The Index is the S&P 500(R) Index (the "Index"), as
calculated, published and disseminated by Standard & Poor's, a division of
McGraw-Hill, Inc. ("S&P").

               2. Determination of the Interest Payment Amount.

                  The Calculation Agent shall, at the request of the Trustee,
determine the amount, if any, payable on each Interest Payment Date for each
$1,000 principal amount of Securities (the "Interest Payment Amount").

                  The Interest Payment Amount with respect to a particular
Interest Payment Date shall be the following:

                  o  If the Closing Index Level on the related Observation Date
                     is greater than or equal to the Initial Index Level,
                     $75.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

                  o  If the Closing Index Level on the related Observation Date
                     is less than the Initial Index Level, zero.

               3. Maturity Payment Amount. The Maturity Payment Amount shall be
$1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

               4. Discontinuance of the Index.

              (a) If S&P discontinues publication of the Index and S&P or
another entity publishes a successor or substitute index (the "Successor Index")
that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, to be comparable to the discontinued Index, then the Calculation Agent
shall determine each subsequent Closing Index Level to be used in determining
the Interest Payment Amount by reference to the Closing Index Level of such
Successor Index on the applicable date.

             (b) Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor
Index, the Company shall promptly give notice to the holders of the Securities.

             (c) If S&P discontinues publication of the Index and the
Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Index is available at such time,
or if S&P (or the publisher of any Successor Index) fails to calculate and
publish a Closing Index Level for the Index (or a Successor Index) on any date
when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, the
Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Index Level to be used for purposes
of determining the Interest Payment Amount. In such circumstances, the Closing
Index Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the
formula for and method of calculating the Index (or any Successor Index) last in
effect prior to such discontinuance or failure to publish, using the Closing
Index Level (or, if trading in any of the relevant securities has been
materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the
Closing Price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation)
on such date of each security most recently






                                                                               2


comprising the Index (or any Successor Index) on the Relevant Exchange on which
such Security trades.

             5. Alteration of Method of Calculation.

                If at any time the method of calculating the Index, any
Successor Index or the Closing Index Level thereof on any particular day, is
changed in a material respect, or if the Index or a Successor Index is in any
other way modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of the
Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Index or such Successor
Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after such
time, the Calculation Agent shall, at the Close of Trading of the Relevant
Exchanges on which the securities comprising the Index or such Successor Index
traded on any date the Closing Index Level thereof is to be determined, make
such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the
Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of a stock
index comparable to the Index or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if
such changes or modifications had not been made. The Calculation Agent shall
calculate the Closing Index Level on any particular day and the Interest Payment
Amount with reference to the Index or such Successor Index, as adjusted.

                Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or a
Successor Index is modified so that the level of such index is a fraction of
what it would have been if it had not been modified, then the Calculation Agent
shall adjust such index in order to arrive at a level of the Index or such
Successor Index as if it had not been modified.

             6. Definitions.

Payment Date shall mean 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date.

                  "Market Disruption Event", with respect to the Index or any

as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

         (1) A material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading relating
         to the securities that then comprise 20% or more of the Index or any
         Successor Index, by the Relevant Exchanges on which those securities
         are traded, at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the
         Close of Trading on such day, whether by reason of movements in price
         exceeding limits permitted by that Relevant Exchange. Limitations on
         trading during significant market fluctuations imposed pursuant to NYSE
         Rule 80B or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by
         the NYSE, any other exchange, quotation system or market, any other
         self regulatory organization or the Securities and Exchange Commission
         of similar scope or as a replacement for Rule 80B may be considered
         material.

         (2) A material suspension of, or limitation imposed on, trading in
         futures or options contracts relating to the Index or any Successor
         Index by the primary exchange on which those futures or options
         contracts are traded, at any time during the one-hour period that ends
         at the Close of Trading on such day, whether by reason of movements in
         price exceeding limits permitted by the exchanges or otherwise.

         (3) Any event, other than an early closure, that disrupts or impairs
         the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions
         in, or obtain market values for, the securities that then comprise 20%
         or more of the Index or any Successor Index on the Relevant Exchanges
         on which those securities are traded, at any time during the one-hour
         period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day.

         (4) Any event, other than an early closure, that disrupts or impairs
         the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions
         in, or obtain market values for, the futures or options contracts
         relating to the Index or any Successor Index on the primary exchange or
         quotation system on which those futures or options contracts are traded
         at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of
         Trading on that day.

         (5) The closure of the Relevant Exchanges on which securities that then
         comprise 20% or more of the Index or any Successor Index are traded or
         on which futures or options contracts relating to the Index or any
         Successor Index are traded prior to its scheduled closing time unless
         the earlier closing time is announced by the Relevant Exchanges at
         least one hour prior to the earlier of (i) the actual closing time for
         the regular trading session on the Relevant Exchanges and (ii) the
         submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant
         Exchanges for execution at the Close of Trading on that day.



                                                                               5


For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred, the
relevant percentage contribution of a security to the level of the Index or any
Successor Index will be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of
the Index or Successor Index attributable to that security and (y) the overall
level of the Index or Successor Index, in each case immediately before the
occurrence of the Market Disruption Event.

                  "Maturity Payment Amount" shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 3 of this Annex A.

                  "Nasdaq" shall mean The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.

                  "NYSE" shall mean The New York Stock Exchange, Inc.

                  "Observation Dates" shall mean the dates set forth below,
provided that each Observation Date is subject to postponement if such day is
not an Exchange Business Day or if a Market Disruption Event occurs on such day.
If any Observation Date is not an Exchange Business Day or the Calculation Agent
determines that one or more Market Disruption Events have occurred on that day,
the Calculation Agent will, subject to certain limitations, determine the
Closing Index Level with respect to that postponed Observation Date by reference
to the Closing Index Level on the next Exchange Business Day on which there is
not a Market Disruption Event; provided, however, if a Market Disruption Event
occurs on each of the eight Exchange Business Days following the originally
scheduled Observation Date, then (a) that eighth Exchange Business Day shall be
deemed the Observation Date and (b) the Calculation Agent shall determine the
Closing Index Level with respect to that postponed Observation Date based upon
its good faith estimate of the level of the index on that eighth Exchange
Business Day. Any such postponement of the date that would otherwise be an
Observation Date will cause the related Interest Payment Date to be postponed
until five Business Days after the date that the Closing Index Level is
determined. If the Final Observation Date is postponed, the Stated Maturity Date
will also be postponed until the final Interest Payment Date.
