The Notes are being purchased by the Lehman Brothers Inc. (the "Underwriter"), as principal, at 100.00% of the aggregate principal amount less an underwriting discount equal to 0.20% of the principal amount of the Notes.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
