Except as modified pursuant to Schedule II hereto, each of the

extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein; and each of the

Representatives and on behalf of each of the Underwriters of the Designated

of the Representatives referred to in such Section 12 are set forth at the end
of Schedule II hereto.
An amendment to the Registration Statement, or a supplement to
the Prospectus, as the case may be, relating to the Designated Securities, in
the form heretofore delivered to you is now proposed to be filed with the
Commission.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in
the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees
to cause the Trust to issue and sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of
the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Trust,

Schedule II hereto, the amount of Designated Securities set forth opposite the
name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto, less the amount of Designated
Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts, if any, as may be specified in
Schedule II.
During the period beginning from the date of this Pricing
Agreement for the Designated Securities and continuing to and including February
15, 2000, the Company agrees, and Xxxxxx Xxx agrees that it will cause the
Company, not to, and not to permit any affiliated entity to, offer, sell,

consent of the Representatives.
Each Underwriter represents and agrees that (a) it has not
offered or sold and will not offer or sell any Notes or Certificates to persons
in the United Kingdom prior to the expiration of the period of six months from
the issue date of the Notes and the Certificates except to persons whose
ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of
investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or
otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an
offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public
Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (b) it has complied and will comply with
all applicable provisions of the Financial Services Xxx 0000 with respect to

and will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document received by it
in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the Certificates to a person
who is of a kind described in article 11(3) of the Financial Services Xxx 0000
(Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996 or is a person to whom such

The Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus have not been
registered as a prospectus with the Registrar of Companies and Businesses in
Singapore and the Notes and the Certificates will be offered in Singapore

Underwriter represents and agrees that it has not offered or sold and will not
