                                  4(2) PROGRAM

This agreement (the "Agreement") sets forth the understandings between the
Issuer and the Dealer, each named on the cover page hereof, in connection with
the issuance and sale by the Issuer of its short-term promissory notes (the
"Notes") through the Dealer.

Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 6 hereof.

The Addendum to this Agreement, and any Annexes or Exhibits described in this
Agreement or such Addendum, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and made
fully a part hereof.

1.  OFFERS, SALES AND RESALES OF NOTES.
    1.1  While (i) the Issuer has and shall have no obligation to sell the Notes
         to the Dealer or to permit the Dealer to arrange any sale of the Notes
         for the account of the Issuer, and (ii) the Dealer has and shall have
         no obligation to purchase the Notes from the Issuer or to arrange any
         sale of the Notes for the account of the Issuer, the parties hereto
         agree that in any case where the Dealer purchases Notes from the
         Issuer, or arranges for the sale of Notes by the Issuer, such Notes
         will be purchased or sold by the Dealer in reliance on the
         representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer
         contained herein or made pursuant hereto and on the terms and
         conditions and in the manner provided herein.

    1.2  So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, and in addition to
         the limitations contained in Section 1.7 hereof, the Issuer shall not,
         without the consent of the Dealer, offer, solicit or accept offers to
         purchase, or sell, any Notes except (a) in transactions with one or
         more dealers which may from time to time after the date hereof become
         dealers with respect to the Notes by executing with the Issuer one or
         more agreements which contain provisions substantially identical to
         those contained in Section 1 of this Agreement, of which the Issuer
         hereby undertakes to provide the Dealer prompt notice or (b) in
         transactions with the other dealers listed on the Addendum hereto,
         which are executing agreements with the Issuer which contain provisions
         substantially identical to Section 1 of this Agreement
         contemporaneously herewith. In no event shall the Issuer offer, solicit
         or accept offers to purchase, or sell, any Notes directly on its own
         behalf in transactions with persons other than broker-dealers as
         specifically permitted in this Section 1.2.

    1.3  The Notes shall be in a minimum denomination of $250,000 or integral
         multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will bear such interest rates,
         if interest bearing, or will be sold at such discount from their face
         amounts, as shall be agreed upon by the Dealer and the Issuer, shall
         have a maturity not exceeding 397 days from the date of issuance and
         may have such terms as are specified in Exhibit C hereto or the Private
         Placement Memorandum.(1) The Notes shall not contain any provision for
         extension, renewal or automatic "rollover."

-------------------
(1) In the event that, in order to be exempt from the definition of "investment
  company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Issuer must rely on
  Section 3(c)(1) of that Act, the maturity of the Notes may not exceed 270
  days.

                                       2
<PAGE>

    1.4  The authentication and issuance of, and payment for, the Notes shall be
         effected in accordance with the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement,
         and the Notes shall be either individual physical certificates or
         book-entry notes evidenced by one or more master notes (each, a "Master
         Note") registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
         or its nominee, in the form or forms annexed to the Issuing and Paying
         Agency Agreement. (2)

    1.5  If the Issuer and the Dealer shall agree on the terms of the purchase
         of any Note by the Dealer or the sale of any Note arranged by the
         Dealer (including, but not limited to, agreement with respect to the
         date of issue, purchase price, principal amount, maturity and interest
         rate or interest rate index and margin (in the case of interest-bearing
         Notes) or discount thereof (in the case of Notes issued on a discount
         basis), and appropriate compensation for the Dealer's services
         hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer shall cause such Note
         to be issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Issuing
         and Paying Agency Agreement and payment for such Note shall be made by
         the purchaser thereof, either directly or through the Dealer, to the
         Issuing and Paying Agent, for the account of the Issuer. Except as
         otherwise agreed, in the event that the Dealer is acting as an agent
         and a purchaser shall either fail to accept delivery of or make payment
         for a Note on the date fixed for settlement, the Dealer shall promptly
         notify the Issuer, and if the Dealer has theretofore paid the Issuer
         for the Note, the Issuer will promptly return such funds to the Dealer
         against its return of the Note to the Issuer, in the case of a
         certificated Note, and upon notice of such failure in the case of a
         book-entry Note. If such failure occurred for any reason other than
         default by the Dealer, the Issuer shall reimburse the Dealer on an
         equitable basis for the Dealer's loss of the use of such funds for the
         period such funds were credited to the Issuer's account.

    1.6  The Dealer and the Issuer hereby establish and agree to observe the
         following procedures in connection with offers, sales and subsequent
         resales or other transfers of the Notes:

         (a) Offers and sales of the Notes by or through the Dealer shall be
             made only to: (i) investors reasonably believed by the Dealer to be
             Qualified Institutional Buyers, Institutional Accredited Investors
             or Sophisticated Individual Accredited Investors and (ii) non-bank
             fiduciaries or agents that will be purchasing Notes for one or more
             accounts, each of which is reasonably believed by the Dealer to be
             an Institutional Accredited Investor or Sophisticated Individual
             Accredited Investor.

         (b) Resales and other transfers of the Notes by the holders thereof
             shall be made only in accordance with the restrictions in the
             legend described in clause (e) below.

         (c) No general solicitation or general advertising shall be used in
             connection with the offering of the Notes. Without limiting the
             generality of the foregoing, without the prior written approval of
             the Dealer, the Issuer shall not issue any press release or place
             or publish any "tombstone" or other advertisement relating to the
             Notes.

         (d) No sale of Notes to any one purchaser shall be for less than
             $250,000 principal or face amount, and no Note shall be issued in a
             smaller principal or face amount. If the purchaser is a non-bank
             fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom such
             purchaser is acting must purchase at least $250,000 principal or
             face amount of Notes.

---------------------
(2) If the form or forms of Notes are not annexed to the Issuing and Paying
  Agency Agreement, they should be annexed to this Agreement or delivered to the
  Dealer, with appropriate certification by the Secretary of the Issuer,
  pursuant to section 3.6 of the Agreement.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         (e) Offers and sales of the Notes by the Issuer through the Dealer
             acting as agent for the Issuer shall be made in accordance with
             Rule 506 under the Securities Act, and shall be subject to the
             restrictions described in the legend appearing on Exhibit A
             hereto. A legend substantially to the effect of such Exhibit A
             shall appear as part of the Private Placement Memorandum used in
             connection with offers and sales of Notes hereunder, as well as on
             each individual certificate representing a Note and each Master
             Note representing book-entry Notes offered and sold pursuant to
             this Agreement.

         (f) The Dealer shall furnish or shall have furnished to each purchaser
             of Notes for which it has acted as the Dealer a copy of the
             then-current Private Placement Memorandum unless such purchaser
             has previously received a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum
             as then in effect. The Private Placement Memorandum shall
             expressly state that any person to whom Notes are offered shall
             have an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive information
             from, the Issuer and the Dealer and shall provide the names,
             addresses and telephone numbers of the persons from whom
             information regarding the Issuer may be obtained.

         (g) The Issuer agrees, for the benefit of the Dealer and each of the
             holders and prospective purchasers from time to time of the Notes
             that, if at any time the Issuer shall not be subject to Section 13
             or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will furnish, upon request
             and at its expense, to the Dealer and to holders and prospective
             purchasers of Notes information required by Rule 144A(d)(4)(i) in
             compliance with Rule 144A(d).

         (h) In the event that any Note offered or to be offered by the Dealer
             would be ineligible for resale under Rule 144A, the Issuer shall
             immediately notify the Dealer (by telephone, confirmed in writing)
             of such fact and shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Dealer
             an amendment or supplement to the Private Placement Memorandum
             describing the Notes that are ineligible, the reason for such
             ineligibility and any other relevant information relating thereto.

         (i) The Issuer represents that it is not currently issuing commercial
             paper in the United States market in reliance upon the exemption
             provided by Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act. The Issuer
             agrees that, if it shall issue commercial paper after the date
             hereof in reliance upon such exemption (a) the proceeds from the
             sale of the Notes will be segregated from the proceeds of the sale
             of any such commercial paper by being placed in a separate
             account; (b) the Issuer will institute appropriate corporate
             procedures to ensure that the offers and sales of notes issued by
             the Issuer pursuant to the Section 3(a)(3) exemption are not
             integrated with offerings and sales of Notes hereunder; and (c)
             the Issuer will comply with each of the requirements of Section
             3(a)(3) of the Securities Act in selling commercial paper or other
             short-term debt securities other than the Notes in the United
             States.

                                       4

1.7     The Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Dealer, in connection
        with offers, sales and resales of Notes, as follows:

        (a)  The Issuer hereby confirms to the Dealer that (except as permitted
             by Section 1.6(i)) within the preceding six months neither the
             Issuer nor any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers
             referred to in Section 1.2 hereof acting on behalf of the Issuer
             has offered or sold any Notes, or any substantially similar
             security of the Issuer (including, without limitation, medium-term
             notes issued by the Issuer), to, or solicited offers to buy any
             such security from, any person other than the Dealer or the other
             dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof. The Issuer also agrees
             that (except as permitted by Section 1.6(i)), as long as the Notes
             are being offered for sale by the Dealer and the other dealers
             referred to in Section 1.2 hereof as contemplated hereby and until
             at least six months after the offer of Notes hereunder has been
             terminated, neither the Issuer nor any person other than the
             Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof
             (except as contemplated by Section 1.2 hereof) will offer the
             Notes or any substantially similar security of the Issuer for sale
             to, or solicit offers to buy any such security from, any person
             other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section
             1.2 hereof, it being understood that such agreement is made with a
             view to bringing the offer and sale of the Notes within the
             exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule
             506 thereunder and shall survive any termination of this
             Agreement. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that it has
             not taken or omitted to take, and will not take or omit to take,
             any action that would cause the offering and sale of Notes
             hereunder to be integrated with any other offering of securities,
             whether such offering is made by the Issuer or some other party or
             parties.

         (b) The Issuer represents and agrees that the proceeds of the sale of
             the Notes are not currently contemplated to be used for the
             purpose of buying, carrying or trading securities within the
             meaning of Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder by the
             Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In the event
             that the Issuer determines to use such proceeds for the purpose of
             buying, carrying or trading securities, whether in connection with
             an acquisition of another company or otherwise, the Issuer shall
             give the Dealer at least five business days' prior written notice
             to that effect. The Issuer shall also give the Dealer prompt
             notice of the actual date that it commences to purchase securities
             with the proceeds of the Notes. Thereafter, in the event that the
             Dealer purchases Notes as principal and does not resell such Notes
             on the day of such purchase, to the extent necessary to comply
             with Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder, the Dealer
             will sell such Notes either (i) only to offerees it reasonably
             believes to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or to Qualified
             Institutional Buyers it reasonably believes are acting for other
             Qualified Institutional Buyers, in each case in accordance with
             Rule 144A or (ii) in a manner which would not cause a violation of
             Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder.

2.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ISSUER.
    The Issuer represents and warrants that:

    2.1  The Issuer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
         in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
         incorporation and has all the requisite power and authority to execute,
         deliver and perform its obligations under the Notes, this Agreement and
         the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement.

<PAGE>

    2.2  This Agreement and the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement have been
         duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and constitute
         legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable against
         the Issuer in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
         bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights
         generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of
         equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
         equity or at law).

    2.3  The Notes have been duly authorized, and when issued as provided in the
         Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, will be duly and validly issued
         and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer
         enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms, subject
         to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
         creditors' rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to
         general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
         sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

    2.4  The offer and sale of the Notes in the manner contemplated hereby do
         not require registration of the Notes under the Securities Act,
         pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2)
         thereof, and no indenture in respect of the Notes is required to be
         qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

    2.5  The Notes will rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured and
         unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer.

    2.6  No consent or action of, or filing or registration with, any
         governmental or public regulatory body or authority, including the SEC,
         is required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with
         the execution, delivery or performance of, this Agreement, the Notes or
         the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, except as may be required by
         the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection
         with the offer and sale of the Notes.

    2.7  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Issuing
         and Paying Agency Agreement, nor the issuance of the Notes in
         accordance with the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, nor the
         fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or
         thereof by the Issuer, will (i) result in the creation or imposition of
         any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon
         any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, or (ii) violate or
         result in a breach or a default under any of the terms of the Issuer's
         charter documents or by-laws, any contract or instrument to which the
         Issuer is a party or by which it or its property is bound, or any law
         or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
         government instrumentality, to which the Issuer is subject or by which
         it or its property is bound, which breach or default might have a
         material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
         operations or business prospects of the Issuer or the ability of the
         Issuer to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or
         the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement.

                                       6
<PAGE>

    2.8  There is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending, or to the
         knowledge of the Issuer threatened, against or affecting the Issuer or
         any of its subsidiaries which might result in a material adverse change
         in the condition (financial or otherwise), operations or business
         prospects of the Issuer or the ability of the Issuer to perform its
         obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or the Issuing and Paying
         Agency Agreement.

    2.9  The Issuer is not an "investment company" within the meaning of the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

    2.10 Neither the Private Placement Memorandum nor the Company Information
         contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
         made, not misleading.

    2.11 Each (a) issuance of Notes by the Issuer hereunder and (b) amendment or
         supplement of the Private Placement Memorandum shall be deemed a
         representation and warranty by the Issuer to the Dealer, as of the date
         thereof, that, both before and after giving effect to such issuance and
         after giving effect to such amendment or supplement, (i) the
         representations and warranties given by the Issuer set forth in this
         Section 2 remain true and correct on and as of such date as if made on
         and as of such date, (ii) in the case of an issuance of Notes, the
         Notes being issued on such date have been duly and validly issued and
         constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer,
         enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms, subject
         to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
         creditors' rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to
         general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
         sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) in the case of an
         issuance of Notes, since the date of the most recent Private Placement
         Memorandum, there has been no material adverse change in the condition
         (financial or otherwise), operations or business prospects of the
         Issuer which has not been disclosed to the Dealer in writing.

3.  COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF ISSUER.
    The Issuer covenants and agrees that:

    3.1  The Issuer will give the Dealer prompt notice (but in any event prior
         to any subsequent issuance of Notes hereunder) of any amendment to,
         modification of or waiver with respect to, the Notes or the Issuing and
         Paying Agency Agreement, including a complete copy of any such
         amendment, modification or waiver.

    3.2  The Issuer shall, whenever there shall occur any change in the Issuer's
         condition (financial or otherwise), operations or business prospects or
         any development or occurrence in relation to the Issuer that would be
         material to holders of the Notes or potential holders of the Notes
         (including any downgrading or receipt of any notice of intended or
         potential downgrading or any review for potential change in the rating
         accorded any of the Issuer's securities by any nationally recognized
         statistical rating organization which has published a rating of the
         Notes), promptly, and in any event prior to any subsequent issuance of

         possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense.

    4.2  The Issuer agrees to promptly furnish the Dealer the Company
         Information as it becomes available.

    4.3  (a) The Issuer further agrees to notify the Dealer promptly upon the
         occurrence of any event relating to or affecting the Issuer that would
         cause the Company Information then in existence to include an untrue
         statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact
         necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light
         of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

         (b) In the event that the Issuer gives the Dealer notice pursuant to
         Section 4.3(a) and the Dealer notifies the Issuer that it then has
         Notes it is holding in inventory, the Issuer agrees promptly to
         supplement or amend the Private Placement Memorandum so that the
         Private Placement Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, shall not
         contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
         material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
         light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
         and the Issuer shall make such supplement or amendment available to the
         Dealer.

         (c) In the event that (i) the Issuer gives the Dealer notice pursuant
         to Section 4.3(a), (ii) the Dealer does not notify the Issuer that it
         is then holding Notes in inventory and (iii) the Issuer chooses not to
         promptly amend or supplement the Private Placement Memorandum in the
         manner described in clause (b) above, then all solicitations and sales
         of Notes shall be suspended until such time as the Issuer has so
         amended or supplemented the Private Placement Memorandum, and made such
         amendment or supplement available to the Dealer.

         (d) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.3(a), the Issuer shall
         review, amend and supplement the Private Placement Memorandum on a
         periodic basis, but no less than at least once annually, to incorporate
         current financial information of the Issuer to the extent necessary to
         ensure that the information provided in the Private Placement
         Memorandum is accurate and complete.

5.  INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
    5.1  The Issuer will indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer, each
         individual, corporation, partnership, trust, association or other
         entity controlling the Dealer, any affiliate of the Dealer or any such
         controlling entity and their respective directors, officers, employees,
         partners, incorporators, shareholders, servants, trustees and agents
         (hereinafter the "Indemnitees") against any and all liabilities,
         penalties, suits, causes of action, losses, damages, claims, costs and
         expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of
         counsel) or judgments of whatever kind or nature (each a "Claim"),
         imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees arising
         out of or based upon (i) any allegation that the Private Placement
         Memorandum, the Company Information or any information provided by the
         Issuer to the Dealer included (as of any relevant time) or includes an
         untrue statement of a material fact or omitted (as of any relevant
         time) or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
         made, not misleading or (ii) arising out of or based upon the breach by
         the Issuer of any agreement, covenant or representation made in or
         pursuant to this Agreement. This indemnification shall not apply to the
         extent that the Claim arises out of or is based upon Dealer
         Information.

    5.2  Provisions relating to claims made for indemnification under this
         Section 5 are set forth on Exhibit B to this Agreement.

    5.3  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
         circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section
         5 is held to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the
         Indemnitees, although applicable in accordance with the terms of this
         Section 5, the Issuer shall contribute to the aggregate costs incurred
         by the Dealer in connection with any Claim in the proportion of the
         respective economic interests of the Issuer and the Dealer; provided,
         however, that such contribution by the Issuer shall be in an amount
         such that the aggregate costs incurred by the Dealer do not exceed the
         aggregate of the commissions and fees earned by the Dealer hereunder
         with respect to the issue or issues of Notes to which such Claim
         relates. The respective economic interests shall be calculated by
         reference to the aggregate proceeds to the Issuer of the Notes issued
         hereunder and the aggregate commissions and fees earned by the Dealer
         hereunder.

                 FURTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION

(a) The Issuer agrees to reimburse each Indemnitee for all expenses (including
    reasonable fees and disbursements of internal and external counsel) as they
    are incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any loss,
    claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which indemnification may
    be sought under Section 5 of the Agreement (whether or not it is a party to
    any such proceedings).

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the existence of a
    Claim, such Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
    against the Issuer, notify the Issuer in writing of the existence thereof;
    provided that (i) the omission so to notify the Issuer will not relieve the
    Issuer from any liability which it may have hereunder unless and except to
    the extent it did not otherwise learn of such Claim and such failure results
    in the forfeiture by the Issuer of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii)
    the omission so to notify the Issuer will not relieve it from liability
    which it may have to an Indemnitee otherwise than on account of this
    indemnity agreement. In case any such Claim is made against any Indemnitee
    and it notifies the Issuer of the existence thereof, the Issuer will be
    entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by
    written notice delivered to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense thereof,
    with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee; provided that if
    the defendants in any such Claim include both the Indemnitee and the Issuer,
    and the Indemnitee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses
    available to it which are different from or additional to those available to
    the Issuer, the Issuer shall not have the right to direct the defense of
    such Claim on behalf of such Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall have the
    right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses on behalf of
    such Indemnitee. Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer to such Indemnitee
    of the Issuer's election so to assume the defense of such Claim and approval
    by the Indemnitee of counsel, the Issuer will not be liable to such
    Indemnitee for expenses incurred thereafter by the Indemnitee in connection
    with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation)
    unless (i) the Indemnitee shall have employed separate counsel in connection
    with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the
    next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Issuer shall
    not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in
    addition to any local counsel in the jurisdiction in which any Claim is
    brought), approved by the Dealer, representing the Indemnitee who is party
    to such Claim), (ii) the Issuer shall not have employed counsel reasonably
    satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a
    reasonable time after notice of existence of the Claim or (iii) the Issuer
    has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee. The
    indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Issuer
    hereunder shall be in addition to any other liability the Issuer may
    otherwise have to an Indemnitee and shall be binding upon and inure to the
    benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of
    the Issuer and any Indemnitee. The Issuer agrees that without the Dealer's
    prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the
    entry of any judgment in any Claim in respect of which indemnification may
    be sought under the indemnification provision of the Agreement (whether or
    not the Dealer or any other Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to
    such Claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an
    unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of
    such Claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
    fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.

                    STATEMENT OF TERMS FOR INTEREST - BEARING
                     COMMERCIAL PAPER NOTES OF NELNET, INC.

THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH BELOW ARE QUALIFIED TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE BY THE
TRANSACTION SPECIFIC PRICING SUPPLEMENT (THE "SUPPLEMENT") (IF ANY) SENT TO EACH
PURCHASER AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSACTION.

   1. General. (a) The obligations of the Issuer to which these terms apply
      (each a "Note") are represented by one or more Master Notes (each, a
      "Master Note") issued in the name of (or of a nominee for) The Depository
      Trust Company ("DTC"), which Master Note includes the terms and provisions
      for the Issuer's Interest-Bearing Commercial Paper Notes that are set
      forth in this Statement of Terms, since this Statement of Terms
      constitutes an integral part of the Underlying Records as defined and
      referred to in the Master Note.

      (b) "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday that is
      neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are
      authorized or required by law, executive order or regulation to be closed
      in New York City and, with respect to LIBOR Notes (as defined below) is
      also a London Business Day. "London Business Day" means, a day, other than
      a Saturday or Sunday, on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are
      transacted in the London interbank market.

   2. Interest. (a) Each Note will bear interest at a fixed rate (a "Fixed Rate
      Note") or at a floating rate (a "Floating Rate Note").

      (b) The Supplement sent to each holder of such Note will describe the
      following terms: (i) whether such Note is a Fixed Rate Note or a Floating
      Rate Note and whether such Note is an Original Issue Discount Note (as
      defined below); (ii) the date on which such Note will be issued (the
      "Issue Date"); (iii) the Stated Maturity Date (as defined below); (iv) if
      such Note is a Fixed Rate Note, the rate per annum at which such Note will
      bear interest, if any, and the Interest Payment Dates; (v) if such Note is
      a Floating Rate Note, the Base Rate, the Index Maturity, the Interest
      Reset Dates, the Interest Payment Dates and the Spread and/or Spread
      Multiplier, if any (all as defined below), and any other terms relating to
      the particular method of calculating the interest rate for such Note; and
      (vi) any other terms applicable specifically to such Note. "Original Issue
      Discount Note" means a Note which has a stated redemption price at the
      Stated Maturity Date that exceeds its Issue Price by more than a specified
      de minimis amount and which the Supplement indicates will be an "Original
      Issue Discount Note".

      (c) Each Fixed Rate Note will bear interest from its Issue Date at the
      rate per annum specified in the Supplement until the principal amount
      thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on each Fixed Rate
      Note will be payable on the dates specified in the Supplement (each an
      "Interest Payment Date" for a Fixed Rate Note) and on the Maturity Date
      (as defined below). Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be computed on the
      basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date of a Fixed Rate Note falls on
a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if
any, and/or interest will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day, and no
additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next
succeeding Business Day.

                                       18
<PAGE>

(d) The interest rate on each Floating Rate Note for each Interest Reset Period
(as defined below) will be determined by reference to an interest rate basis (a
"Base Rate") plus or minus a number of basis points (one basis point equals
one-hundredth of a percentage point) (the "Spread"), if any, and/or multiplied
by a certain percentage (the "Spread Multiplier"), if any, until the principal
thereof is paid or made available for payment. The Supplement will designate
which of the following Base Rates is applicable to the related Floating Rate
Note: (a) the CD Rate (a "CD Rate Note"), (b) the Commercial Paper Rate (a
"Commercial Paper Rate Note"), (c) the Federal Funds Rate (a "Federal Funds Rate
Note"), (d) LIBOR (a "LIBOR Note"), (e) the Prime Rate (a "Prime Rate Note"),
(f) the Treasury Rate (a "Treasury Rate Note") or (g) such other Base Rate as
may be specified in such Supplement.

The rate of interest on each Floating Rate Note will be reset daily, weekly,
monthly, quarterly or semi-annually (the "Interest Reset Period"). The date or
dates on which interest will be reset (each an "Interest Reset Date") will be,
unless otherwise specified in the Supplement, in the case of Floating Rate Notes
which reset daily, each Business Day, in the case of Floating Rate Notes (other
than Treasury Rate Notes) that reset weekly, the Wednesday of each week; in the
case of Treasury Rate Notes that reset weekly, the Tuesday of each week; in the
case of Floating Rate Notes that reset monthly, the third Wednesday of each
month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset quarterly, the third
Wednesday of March, June, September and December; and in the case of Floating
Rate Notes that reset semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months
specified in the Supplement. If any Interest Reset Date for any Floating Rate
Note is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the
next day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if
such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset
Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Interest on each Floating
Rate Note will be payable monthly, quarterly or semiannually (the "Interest
Payment Period") and on the Maturity Date. Unless otherwise specified in the
Supplement, and except as provided below, the date or dates on which interest
will be payable (each an "Interest Payment Date" for a Floating Rate Note) will
be, in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a monthly Interest Payment Period,
on the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a
quarterly Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of March, June,
September and December; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a semiannual
Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of the two months specified in
the Supplement. In addition, the Maturity Date will also be an Interest Payment
Date.

If any Interest Payment Date for any Floating Rate Note (other than an Interest
Payment Date occurring on the Maturity Date) would otherwise be a day that is
not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next
day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such
Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment
Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date of a
Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of
principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no
interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such
maturity.

Interest payments on each Interest Payment Date for Floating Rate Notes will
include accrued interest from and including the Issue Date or from and including
the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be,
to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date. On the Maturity Date, the
interest payable on a Floating Rate Note will include interest accrued to, but
excluding, the Maturity Date. Accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying
the principal amount of a Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor. This

                                       19
<PAGE>

accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors
calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being
calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day will
be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the
cases where the Base Rate is the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds
Rate, LIBOR or Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the
case where the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate. The interest rate in effect on
each day will be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate
with respect to the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to
such Interest Reset Date, or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the
interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the
next preceding Interest Reset Date, subject in either case to any adjustment by
a Spread and/or a Spread Multiplier.

The "Interest Determination Date" where the Base Rate is the CD Rate or the
Commercial Paper Rate will be the second Business Day next preceding an Interest
Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Federal
Funds Rate or the Prime Rate will be the Business Day next preceding an Interest
Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is LIBOR will be
the second London Business Day next preceding an Interest Reset Date. The
Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate will be the
day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls when Treasury Bills are
normally auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of
each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is held
on the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday. If an auction is so held on
the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Interest Determination Date
pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week.

The "Index Maturity" is the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation
from which the applicable Base Rate is calculated.

The "Calculation Date," where applicable, shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth
calendar day following the applicable Interest Determination Date or (ii) the
Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date.

All times referred to herein reflect New York City time, unless otherwise
specified.

The Issuer shall specify in writing to the Issuing and Paying Agent which party
will be the calculation agent (the "Calculation Agent") with respect to the
Floating Rate Notes. The Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then
in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on
the next Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note to the
Issuing and Paying Agent as soon as the interest rate with respect to such
Floating Rate Note has been determined and as soon as practicable after any
change in such interest rate.

All percentages resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be
rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with
five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example,
9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). All dollar
amounts used in or resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be
rounded, in the case of U.S. dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a
foreign currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded
upwards).

                                       20

CD RATE NOTES

    "CD Rate" means the rate on any Interest Determination Date for negotiable
    certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity as published by the Board
    of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB") in "Statistical
    Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication of
    the FRB ("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)".

    If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m. on the
    Calculation Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest
    Determination Date set forth in the daily update of H.15(519), available
    through the world wide website of the FRB at
    http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/Update, or any successor site or
    publication or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
    displaying the applicable rate ("H.15 Daily Update") under the caption "CDs
    (Secondary Market)".

    If such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update by
    3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the
    CD Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as
    of 10:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date of three leading nonbank
    dealers(4) in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in New York
    City selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable U.S. dollar
    certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks of the
    highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit
    with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity in the denomination
    of $5,000,000.

    If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set
    forth above, the CD Rate will remain the CD Rate then in effect on such
    Interest Determination Date.

COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE NOTES

    "Commercial Paper Rate" means the Money Market Yield (calculated as
    described below) of the rate on any Interest Determination Date for
    commercial paper having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15(519) under
    the heading "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial".

    If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m. on the
    Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market
    Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper
    of the Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading
    "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial".

    If by 3:00 p.m. on such Calculation Date such rate is not published in
    either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will
    determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the
    arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m. on such Interest
    Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper
    in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of
    the Index Maturity placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is
    "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating
    organization.

--------------------
(4) Such nonbank dealers referred to in this Statement of Terms may include
  affiliates of the Dealer.

                                       21
<PAGE>

    If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
    mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to such Interest
    Determination Date will remain the Commercial Paper Rate then in effect on
    such Interest Determination Date.

    "Money Market Yield" will be a yield calculated in accordance with the
    following formula:

                             D x 360
    Money Market Yield =  ------------- x 100
                          360 - (D x M)

    where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper
    quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to
    the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being
    calculated.

FEDERAL FUNDS RATE NOTES

    "Federal Funds Rate" means the rate on any Interest Determination Date for
    federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds
    (Effective)" and displayed on Moneyline Telerate (or any successor service)
    on page 120 (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that
    service) ("Telerate Page 120").

    If the above rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not so
    published by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate will
    be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily
    Update under the heading "Federal Funds/(Effective)".

    If such rate is not published as described above by 3:00 p.m. on the
    Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds
    Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in
    overnight U.S. dollar federal funds arranged by each of three leading
    brokers of Federal Funds transactions in New York City selected by the
    Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date.

    If the brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
    mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate will remain the Federal Funds Rate
    then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

LIBOR NOTES

    The London Interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") means, with respect to any
    Interest Determination Date, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having
    the Index Maturity that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00
    a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date.

    If no rate appears, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at
    approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date
    at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered to prime banks in the London
    interbank market by four major banks in such market selected by the
    Calculation Agent for a term equal to the Index Maturity and in principal
    amount equal to an amount that in the Calculation Agent's judgment is
    representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at
    such time (a "Representative Amount"). The Calculation Agent will request
    the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of

                                       22
<PAGE>

    its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the
    arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are
    provided, LIBOR for such interest period will be the arithmetic mean of the
    rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in New York City, on such Interest
    Determination Date by three major banks in New York City, selected by the
    Calculation Agent, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for
    a term equal to the Index Maturity and in a Representative Amount; provided,
    however, that if fewer than three banks so selected by the Calculation Agent
    are providing such quotations, the then existing LIBOR rate will remain in
    effect for such Interest Payment Period.

    "Designated LIBOR Page" means the display designated as page "3750" on
    Moneyline Telerate (or such other page as may replace the 3750 page on that
    service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British
    Bankers' Association for the purposes of displaying London interbank offered
    rates for U.S. dollar deposits).

PRIME RATE NOTES

    "Prime Rate" means the rate on any Interest Determination Date as published
    in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan".

    If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the
    Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate will be the rate on such Interest
    Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update opposite the caption
    "Bank Prime Loan".

    If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date in
    either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will
    determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest
    publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME1
    Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as of
    11:00 a.m., on that Interest Determination Date.

    If fewer than four such rates referred to above are so published by 3:00
    p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Prime
    Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates
    quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360
    as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by three
    major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

    If the banks selected are not quoting as mentioned above, the Prime Rate
    will remain the Prime Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

    "Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page" means the display designated as page "US
    PRIME1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as
    may replace the US PRIME1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying
    prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).

    on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the particular Interest
    Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond
    Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates,
    as of approximately 3:30 p.m. on that Interest Determination Date, of three
    primary United States government securities dealers selected by the
    Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity
    closest to the Index Maturity specified in the Supplement, or

    (7) if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
    mentioned in clause (6), the Treasury Rate in effect on the particular

"Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in
accordance with the following formula:

                             D x N
Bond Equivalent Yield =  -------------- x 100
                         360 - (D x M)

                                       24
<PAGE>

    where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted
    on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, "N" refers to 365 or
    366, as the case may be, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the
    applicable Interest Reset Period.

3. Final Maturity. The Stated Maturity Date for any Note will be the date so
  specified in the Supplement, which shall be no later than 397 days from the
  date of issuance. On its Stated Maturity Date, or any date prior to the Stated
  Maturity Date on which the particular Note becomes due and payable by the
  declaration of acceleration, each such date being referred to as a Maturity
  Date, the principal amount of each Note, together with accrued and unpaid
  interest thereon, will be immediately due and payable.

4. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
  "Event of Default" with respect to a Note: (i) default in any payment of
  principal of or interest on such Note (including on a redemption thereof);
  (ii) the Issuer makes any compromise arrangement with its creditors generally
  including the entering into any form of moratorium with its creditors
  generally; (iii) a court having jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for
  relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under any applicable
  bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
  there shall be appointed a receiver, administrator, liquidator, custodian,
  trustee or sequestrator (or similar officer) with respect to the whole or
  substantially the whole of the assets of the Issuer and any such decree, order
  or appointment is not removed, discharged or withdrawn within 60 days
  thereafter; or (iv) the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any
  applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
  effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case
  under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a
  receiver, administrator, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or
  sequestrator (or similar official), with respect to the whole or substantially
  the whole of the assets of the Issuer or make any general assignment for the
  benefit of creditors. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
  principal of each obligation evidenced by such Note (together with interest
  accrued and unpaid thereon) shall become, without any notice or demand,
  immediately due and payable. (5)

5. Obligation Absolute. No provision of the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement
  under which the Notes are issued shall alter or impair the obligation of the
  Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
  interest on each Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
  currency, herein prescribed.

6. Supplement. Any term contained in the Supplement shall supercede any
  conflicting term contained herein.

-----------------
(5) Unlike single payment notes, where a default arises only at the stated
  maturity, interest-bearing notes with multiple payment dates should contain a
  default provision permitting acceleration of the maturity if the Issuer
  defaults on an interest payment.

                        COMMERCIAL PAPER DEALER AGREEMENT
                                  4(2) PROGRAM

This agreement (the "Agreement") sets forth the understandings between the
Issuer and the Dealer, each named on the cover page hereof, in connection with
the issuance and sale by the Issuer of its short-term promissory notes (the
"Notes") through the Dealer.

Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 6 hereof.

The Addendum to this Agreement, and any Annexes or Exhibits described in this
Agreement or such Addendum, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and made
fully a part hereof.

1.  OFFERS, SALES AND RESALES OF NOTES.
    1.1  While (i) the Issuer has and shall have no obligation to sell the Notes
         to the Dealer or to permit the Dealer to arrange any sale of the Notes
         for the account of the Issuer, and (ii) the Dealer has and shall have
         no obligation to purchase the Notes from the Issuer or to arrange any
         sale of the Notes for the account of the Issuer, the parties hereto
         agree that in any case where the Dealer purchases Notes from the
         Issuer, or arranges for the sale of Notes by the Issuer, such Notes
         will be purchased or sold by the Dealer in reliance on the
         representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer
         contained herein or made pursuant hereto and on the terms and
         conditions and in the manner provided herein.

    1.2  So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, and in addition to
         the limitations contained in Section 1.7 hereof, the Issuer shall not,
         without the consent of the Dealer, offer, solicit or accept offers to
         purchase, or sell, any Notes except (a) in transactions with one or
         more dealers which may from time to time after the date hereof become
         dealers with respect to the Notes by executing with the Issuer one or
         more agreements which contain provisions substantially identical to
         those contained in Section 1 of this Agreement, of which the Issuer
         hereby undertakes to provide the Dealer prompt notice or (b) in
         transactions with the other dealers listed on the Addendum hereto,
         which are executing agreements with the Issuer which contain provisions
         substantially identical to Section 1 of this Agreement
         contemporaneously herewith. In no event shall the Issuer offer, solicit
         or accept offers to purchase, or sell, any Notes directly on its own
         behalf in transactions with persons other than broker-dealers as
         specifically permitted in this Section 1.2.

    1.3  The Notes shall be in a minimum denomination of $250,000 or integral
         multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will bear such interest rates,
         if interest bearing, or will be sold at such discount from their face
         amounts, as shall be agreed upon by the Dealer and the Issuer, shall
         have a maturity not exceeding 397 days from the date of issuance and
         may have such terms as are specified in Exhibit C hereto or the Private
         Placement Memorandum.(1) The Notes shall not contain any provision for
         extension, renewal or automatic "rollover."

-------------------------
(1) In the event that, in order to be exempt from the definition of "investment
  company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Issuer must rely on
  Section 3(c)(1) of that Act, the maturity of the Notes may not exceed 270
  days.

                                       2
<PAGE>

    1.4  The authentication and issuance of, and payment for, the Notes shall be
         effected in accordance with the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement,
         and the Notes shall be either individual physical certificates or
         book-entry notes evidenced by one or more master notes (each, a "Master
         Note") registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
         or its nominee, in the form or forms annexed to the Issuing and Paying
         Agency Agreement. (2)

    1.5  If the Issuer and the Dealer shall agree on the terms of the purchase
         of any Note by the Dealer or the sale of any Note arranged by the
         Dealer (including, but not limited to, agreement with respect to the
         date of issue, purchase price, principal amount, maturity and interest
         rate or interest rate index and margin (in the case of interest-bearing
         Notes) or discount thereof (in the case of Notes issued on a discount
         basis), and appropriate compensation for the Dealer's services
         hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer shall cause such Note
         to be issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Issuing
         and Paying Agency Agreement and payment for such Note shall be made by
         the purchaser thereof, either directly or through the Dealer, to the
         Issuing and Paying Agent, for the account of the Issuer. Except as
         otherwise agreed, in the event that the Dealer is acting as an agent
         and a purchaser shall either fail to accept delivery of or make payment
         for a Note on the date fixed for settlement, the Dealer shall promptly
         notify the Issuer, and if the Dealer has theretofore paid the Issuer
         for the Note, the Issuer will promptly return such funds to the Dealer
         against its return of the Note to the Issuer, in the case of a
         certificated Note, and upon notice of such failure in the case of a
         book-entry Note. If such failure occurred for any reason other than
         default by the Dealer, the Issuer shall reimburse the Dealer on an
         equitable basis for the Dealer's loss of the use of such funds for the
         period such funds were credited to the Issuer's account.

    1.6  The Dealer and the Issuer hereby establish and agree to observe the
         following procedures in connection with offers, sales and subsequent
         resales or other transfers of the Notes:

         (a) Offers and sales of the Notes by or through the Dealer shall be
             made only to: (i) investors reasonably believed by the Dealer to be
             Qualified Institutional Buyers, Institutional Accredited Investors
             or Sophisticated Individual Accredited Investors and (ii) non-bank
             fiduciaries or agents that will be purchasing Notes for one or more
             accounts, each of which is reasonably believed by the Dealer to be
             an Institutional Accredited Investor or Sophisticated Individual
             Accredited Investor.

         (b) Resales and other transfers of the Notes by the holders thereof
             shall be made only in accordance with the restrictions in the
             legend described in clause (e) below.

         (c) No general solicitation or general advertising shall be used in
             connection with the offering of the Notes. Without limiting the
             generality of the foregoing, without the prior written approval of
             the Dealer, the Issuer shall not issue any press release or place
             or publish any "tombstone" or other advertisement relating to the
             Notes.

         (d) No sale of Notes to any one purchaser shall be for less than
             $250,000 principal or face amount, and no Note shall be issued in a
             smaller principal or face amount. If the purchaser is a non-bank
             fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom such
             purchaser is acting must purchase at least $250,000 principal or
             face amount of Notes.

--------------------------
(2) If the form or forms of Notes are not annexed to the Issuing and Paying
  Agency Agreement, they should be annexed to this Agreement or delivered to the
  Dealer, with appropriate certification by the Secretary of the Issuer,
  pursuant to section 3.6 of the Agreement.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         (e) Offers and sales of the Notes by the Issuer through the Dealer
             acting as agent for the Issuer shall be made in accordance with
             Rule 506 under the Securities Act, and shall be subject to the
             restrictions described in the legend appearing on Exhibit A
             hereto. A legend substantially to the effect of such Exhibit A
             shall appear as part of the Private Placement Memorandum used in
             connection with offers and sales of Notes hereunder, as well as on
             each individual certificate representing a Note and each Master
             Note representing book-entry Notes offered and sold pursuant to
             this Agreement.

         (f) The Dealer shall furnish or shall have furnished to each purchaser
             of Notes for which it has acted as the Dealer a copy of the
             then-current Private Placement Memorandum unless such purchaser
             has previously received a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum
             as then in effect. The Private Placement Memorandum shall
             expressly state that any person to whom Notes are offered shall
             have an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive information
             from, the Issuer and the Dealer and shall provide the names,
             addresses and telephone numbers of the persons from whom
             information regarding the Issuer may be obtained.

         (g) The Issuer agrees, for the benefit of the Dealer and each of the
             holders and prospective purchasers from time to time of the Notes
             that, if at any time the Issuer shall not be subject to Section 13
             or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will furnish, upon request
             and at its expense, to the Dealer and to holders and prospective
             purchasers of Notes information required by Rule 144A(d)(4)(i) in
             compliance with Rule 144A(d).

         (h) In the event that any Note offered or to be offered by the Dealer
             would be ineligible for resale under Rule 144A, the Issuer shall
             immediately notify the Dealer (by telephone, confirmed in writing)
             of such fact and shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Dealer
             an amendment or supplement to the Private Placement Memorandum
             describing the Notes that are ineligible, the reason for such
             ineligibility and any other relevant information relating thereto.

         (i) The Issuer represents that it is not currently issuing commercial
             paper in the United States market in reliance upon the exemption
             provided by Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act. The Issuer
             agrees that, if it shall issue commercial paper after the date
             hereof in reliance upon such exemption (a) the proceeds from the
             sale of the Notes will be segregated from the proceeds of the sale
             of any such commercial paper by being placed in a separate
             account; (b) the Issuer will institute appropriate corporate
             procedures to ensure that the offers and sales of notes issued by
             the Issuer pursuant to the Section 3(a)(3) exemption are not
             integrated with offerings and sales of Notes hereunder; and (c)
             the Issuer will comply with each of the requirements of Section
             3(a)(3) of the Securities Act in selling commercial paper or other
             short-term debt securities other than the Notes in the United
             States.

                                       4

    1.7  The Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Dealer, in connection
         with offers, sales and resales of Notes, as follows:

         (a) The Issuer hereby confirms to the Dealer that (except as permitted
             by Section 1.6(i)) within the preceding six months neither the
             Issuer nor any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers
             referred to in Section 1.2 hereof acting on behalf of the Issuer
             has offered or sold any Notes, or any substantially similar
             security of the Issuer (including, without limitation, medium-term
             notes issued by the Issuer), to, or solicited offers to buy any
             such security from, any person other than the Dealer or the other
             dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof. The Issuer also agrees
             that (except as permitted by Section 1.6(i)), as long as the Notes
             are being offered for sale by the Dealer and the other dealers
             referred to in Section 1.2 hereof as contemplated hereby and until
             at least six months after the offer of Notes hereunder has been
             terminated, neither the Issuer nor any person other than the
             Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof
             (except as contemplated by Section 1.2 hereof) will offer the
             Notes or any substantially similar security of the Issuer for sale
             to, or solicit offers to buy any such security from, any person
             other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section
             1.2 hereof, it being understood that such agreement is made with a
             view to bringing the offer and sale of the Notes within the
             exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule
             506 thereunder and shall survive any termination of this
             Agreement. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that it has
             not taken or omitted to take, and will not take or omit to take,
             any action that would cause the offering and sale of Notes
             hereunder to be integrated with any other offering of securities,
             whether such offering is made by the Issuer or some other party or
             parties.

         (b) The Issuer represents and agrees that the proceeds of the sale of
             the Notes are not currently contemplated to be used for the
             purpose of buying, carrying or trading securities within the
             meaning of Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder by the
             Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In the event
             that the Issuer determines to use such proceeds for the purpose of
             buying, carrying or trading securities, whether in connection with
             an acquisition of another company or otherwise, the Issuer shall
             give the Dealer at least five business days' prior written notice
             to that effect. The Issuer shall also give the Dealer prompt
             notice of the actual date that it commences to purchase securities
             with the proceeds of the Notes. Thereafter, in the event that the
             Dealer purchases Notes as principal and does not resell such Notes
             on the day of such purchase, to the extent necessary to comply
             with Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder, the Dealer
             will sell such Notes either (i) only to offerees it reasonably
             believes to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or to Qualified
             Institutional Buyers it reasonably believes are acting for other
             Qualified Institutional Buyers, in each case in accordance with
             Rule 144A or (ii) in a manner which would not cause a violation of
             Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder.

2.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ISSUER.
    The Issuer represents and warrants that:

    2.1  The Issuer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
         good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation
         and has all the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and
         perform its obligations under the Notes, this Agreement and the Issuing
         and Paying Agency Agreement.

                                       5
<PAGE>

    2.2  This Agreement and the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement have been
         duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and constitute
         legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable against
         the Issuer in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
         bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights
         generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of
         equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
         equity or at law).

    2.3  The Notes have been duly authorized, and when issued as provided in the
         Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, will be duly and validly issued
         and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer
         enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms, subject
         to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
         creditors' rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to
         general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
         sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

    2.4  The offer and sale of the Notes in the manner contemplated hereby do
         not require registration of the Notes under the Securities Act,
         pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2)
         thereof, and no indenture in respect of the Notes is required to be
         qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

    2.5  The Notes will rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured and
         unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer.

    2.6  No consent or action of, or filing or registration with, any
         governmental or public regulatory body or authority, including the SEC,
         is required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with
         the execution, delivery or performance of, this Agreement, the Notes or
         the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, except as may be required by
         the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection
         with the offer and sale of the Notes.

    2.7  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Issuing
         and Paying Agency Agreement, nor the issuance of the Notes in
         accordance with the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, nor the
         fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or
         thereof by the Issuer, will (i) result in the creation or imposition of
         any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon
         any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, or (ii) violate or
         result in a breach or a default under any of the terms of the Issuer's
         charter documents or by-laws, any contract or instrument to which the
         Issuer is a party or by which it or its property is bound, or any law
         or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
         government instrumentality, to which the Issuer is subject or by which
         it or its property is bound, which breach or default might have a
         material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
         operations or business prospects of the Issuer or the ability of the
         Issuer to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or
         the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement.

                                       6
<PAGE>

    2.8  There is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending, or to the
         knowledge of the Issuer threatened, against or affecting the Issuer or
         any of its subsidiaries which might result in a material adverse change
         in the condition (financial or otherwise), operations or business
         prospects of the Issuer or the ability of the Issuer to perform its
         obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or the Issuing and Paying
         Agency Agreement.

    2.9  The Issuer is not an "investment company" within the meaning of the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

    2.10 Neither the Private Placement Memorandum nor the Company Information
         contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
         made, not misleading.

    2.11 Each (a) issuance of Notes by the Issuer hereunder and (b) amendment or

         amended or supplemented the Private Placement Memorandum, and made
         such amendment or supplement available to the Dealer.

         (d) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.3(a), the Issuer
         shall review, amend and supplement the Private Placement Memorandum on
         a periodic basis, but no less than at least once annually, to

         controlling entity and their respective directors, officers,

         liabilities, penalties, suits, causes of action, losses, damages,
         claims, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and
         disbursements of counsel) or judgments of whatever kind or nature
         (each a "Claim"), imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the

         Private Placement Memorandum, the Company Information or any
         information provided by the Issuer to the Dealer included (as of any
         relevant time) or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
         omitted (as of any relevant time) or omits to state any material fact
         necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii)
         arising out of or based upon the breach by the Issuer of any
         agreement, covenant or representation made in or pursuant to this
         Agreement. This indemnification shall not apply to the extent that the
         Claim arises out of or is based upon Dealer Information.

    5.2  Provisions relating to claims made for indemnification under this
         Section 5 are set forth on Exhibit B to this Agreement.

    5.3  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
         circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this
         Section 5 is held to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
         the Indemnitees, although applicable in accordance with the terms of
         this Section 5, the Issuer shall contribute to the aggregate costs
         incurred by the Dealer in connection with any Claim in the proportion
         of the respective economic interests of the Issuer and the Dealer;

         amount such that the aggregate costs incurred by the Dealer do not
         exceed the aggregate of the commissions and fees earned by the Dealer
         hereunder with respect to the issue or issues of Notes to which such
         Claim relates. The respective economic interests shall be calculated
         by reference to the aggregate proceeds to the Issuer of the Notes

         Dealer hereunder.

                 FURTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION

(a) The Issuer agrees to reimburse each Indemnitee for all expenses (including
    reasonable fees and disbursements of internal and external counsel) as they
    are incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any loss,
    claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which indemnification may
    be sought under Section 5 of the Agreement (whether or not it is a party to
    any such proceedings).

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the existence of a
    Claim, such Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
    against the Issuer, notify the Issuer in writing of the existence thereof;
    provided that (i) the omission so to notify the Issuer will not relieve the
    Issuer from any liability which it may have hereunder unless and except to
    the extent it did not otherwise learn of such Claim and such failure results
    in the forfeiture by the Issuer of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii)
    the omission so to notify the Issuer will not relieve it from liability
    which it may have to an Indemnitee otherwise than on account of this
    indemnity agreement. In case any such Claim is made against any Indemnitee
    and it notifies the Issuer of the existence thereof, the Issuer will be
    entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by
    written notice delivered to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense thereof,
    with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee; provided that if
    the defendants in any such Claim include both the Indemnitee and the Issuer,
    and the Indemnitee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses
    available to it which are different from or additional to those available to
    the Issuer, the Issuer shall not have the right to direct the defense of
    such Claim on behalf of such Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall have the
    right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses on behalf of
    such Indemnitee. Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer to such Indemnitee
    of the Issuer's election so to assume the defense of such Claim and approval
    by the Indemnitee of counsel, the Issuer will not be liable to such
    Indemnitee for expenses incurred thereafter by the Indemnitee in connection
    with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation)
    unless (i) the Indemnitee shall have employed separate counsel in connection
    with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the
    next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Issuer shall
    not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in
    addition to any local counsel in the jurisdiction in which any Claim is
    brought), approved by the Dealer, representing the Indemnitee who is party
    to such Claim), (ii) the Issuer shall not have employed counsel reasonably
    satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a
    reasonable time after notice of existence of the Claim or (iii) the Issuer
    has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee. The
    indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Issuer
    hereunder shall be in addition to any other liability the Issuer may
    otherwise have to an Indemnitee and shall be binding upon and inure to the
    benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of
    the Issuer and any Indemnitee. The Issuer agrees that without the Dealer's
    prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the
    entry of any judgment in any Claim in respect of which indemnification may
    be sought under the indemnification provision of the Agreement (whether or
    not the Dealer or any other Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to
    such Claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an
    unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of
    such Claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
    fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.

                    STATEMENT OF TERMS FOR INTEREST - BEARING
                     COMMERCIAL PAPER NOTES OF NELNET, INC.

THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH BELOW ARE QUALIFIED TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE BY THE
TRANSACTION SPECIFIC PRICING SUPPLEMENT (THE "SUPPLEMENT") (IF ANY) SENT TO EACH
PURCHASER AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSACTION.

   1. General. (a) The obligations of the Issuer to which these terms apply
      (each a "Note") are represented by one or more Master Notes (each, a
      "Master Note") issued in the name of (or of a nominee for) The Depository
      Trust Company ("DTC"), which Master Note includes the terms and provisions
      for the Issuer's Interest-Bearing Commercial Paper Notes that are set
      forth in this Statement of Terms, since this Statement of Terms
      constitutes an integral part of the Underlying Records as defined and
      referred to in the Master Note.

      (b) "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday that is
      neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are
      authorized or required by law, executive order or regulation to be closed
      in New York City and, with respect to LIBOR Notes (as defined below) is
      also a London Business Day. "London Business Day" means, a day, other than
      a Saturday or Sunday, on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are
      transacted in the London interbank market.

   2. Interest. (a) Each Note will bear interest at a fixed rate (a "Fixed Rate
      Note") or at a floating rate (a "Floating Rate Note").

      (b) The Supplement sent to each holder of such Note will describe the
      following terms: (i) whether such Note is a Fixed Rate Note or a Floating
      Rate Note and whether such Note is an Original Issue Discount Note (as
      defined below); (ii) the date on which such Note will be issued (the
      "Issue Date"); (iii) the Stated Maturity Date (as defined below); (iv) if
      such Note is a Fixed Rate Note, the rate per annum at which such Note will
      bear interest, if any, and the Interest Payment Dates; (v) if such Note is
      a Floating Rate Note, the Base Rate, the Index Maturity, the Interest
      Reset Dates, the Interest Payment Dates and the Spread and/or Spread
      Multiplier, if any (all as defined below), and any other terms relating to
      the particular method of calculating the interest rate for such Note; and
      (vi) any other terms applicable specifically to such Note. "Original Issue
      Discount Note" means a Note which has a stated redemption price at the
      Stated Maturity Date that exceeds its Issue Price by more than a specified
      de minimis amount and which the Supplement indicates will be an "Original
      Issue Discount Note".

      (c) Each Fixed Rate Note will bear interest from its Issue Date at the
      rate per annum specified in the Supplement until the principal amount
      thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on each Fixed Rate
      Note will be payable on the dates specified in the Supplement (each an
      "Interest Payment Date" for a Fixed Rate Note) and on the Maturity Date
      (as defined below). Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be computed on the
      basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date of a Fixed Rate Note falls on
a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if
any, and/or interest will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day, and no
additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next
succeeding Business Day.

                                       18
<PAGE>

(d) The interest rate on each Floating Rate Note for each Interest Reset Period
(as defined below) will be determined by reference to an interest rate basis (a
"Base Rate") plus or minus a number of basis points (one basis point equals
one-hundredth of a percentage point) (the "Spread"), if any, and/or multiplied
by a certain percentage (the "Spread Multiplier"), if any, until the principal
thereof is paid or made available for payment. The Supplement will designate
which of the following Base Rates is applicable to the related Floating Rate
Note: (a) the CD Rate (a "CD Rate Note"), (b) the Commercial Paper Rate (a
"Commercial Paper Rate Note"), (c) the Federal Funds Rate (a "Federal Funds Rate
Note"), (d) LIBOR (a "LIBOR Note"), (e) the Prime Rate (a "Prime Rate Note"),
(f) the Treasury Rate (a "Treasury Rate Note") or (g) such other Base Rate as
may be specified in such Supplement.

The rate of interest on each Floating Rate Note will be reset daily, weekly,
monthly, quarterly or semi-annually (the "Interest Reset Period"). The date or
dates on which interest will be reset (each an "Interest Reset Date") will be,
unless otherwise specified in the Supplement, in the case of Floating Rate Notes
which reset daily, each Business Day, in the case of Floating Rate Notes (other
than Treasury Rate Notes) that reset weekly, the Wednesday of each week; in the
case of Treasury Rate Notes that reset weekly, the Tuesday of each week; in the
case of Floating Rate Notes that reset monthly, the third Wednesday of each
month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset quarterly, the third
Wednesday of March, June, September and December; and in the case of Floating
Rate Notes that reset semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months
specified in the Supplement. If any Interest Reset Date for any Floating Rate
Note is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the
next day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if
such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset
Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Interest on each Floating
Rate Note will be payable monthly, quarterly or semiannually (the "Interest
Payment Period") and on the Maturity Date. Unless otherwise specified in the
Supplement, and except as provided below, the date or dates on which interest
will be payable (each an "Interest Payment Date" for a Floating Rate Note) will
be, in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a monthly Interest Payment Period,
on the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a
quarterly Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of March, June,
September and December; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a semiannual
Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of the two months specified in
the Supplement. In addition, the Maturity Date will also be an Interest Payment
Date.

If any Interest Payment Date for any Floating Rate Note (other than an Interest
Payment Date occurring on the Maturity Date) would otherwise be a day that is
not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next
day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such
Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment
Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date of a
Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of
principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no
interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such
maturity.

Interest payments on each Interest Payment Date for Floating Rate Notes will
include accrued interest from and including the Issue Date or from and including
the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be,
to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date. On the Maturity Date, the
interest payable on a Floating Rate Note will include interest accrued to, but
excluding, the Maturity Date. Accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying

                                       19
<PAGE>

the principal amount of a Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor. This
accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors
calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being
calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day will
be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the
cases where the Base Rate is the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds
Rate, LIBOR or Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the
case where the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate. The interest rate in effect on
each day will be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate
with respect to the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to
such Interest Reset Date, or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the
interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the
next preceding Interest Reset Date, subject in either case to any adjustment by
a Spread and/or a Spread Multiplier.

The "Interest Determination Date" where the Base Rate is the CD Rate or the
Commercial Paper Rate will be the second Business Day next preceding an Interest
Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Federal
Funds Rate or the Prime Rate will be the Business Day next preceding an Interest
Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is LIBOR will be
the second London Business Day next preceding an Interest Reset Date. The
Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate will be the
day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls when Treasury Bills are
normally auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of
each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is held
on the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday. If an auction is so held on
the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Interest Determination Date
pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week.

The "Index Maturity" is the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation
from which the applicable Base Rate is calculated.

The "Calculation Date," where applicable, shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth
calendar day following the applicable Interest Determination Date or (ii) the
Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date.

All times referred to herein reflect New York City time, unless otherwise
specified.

The Issuer shall specify in writing to the Issuing and Paying Agent which party
will be the calculation agent (the "Calculation Agent") with respect to the
Floating Rate Notes. The Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then
in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on
the next Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note to the
Issuing and Paying Agent as soon as the interest rate with respect to such
Floating Rate Note has been determined and as soon as practicable after any
change in such interest rate.

All percentages resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be
rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with
five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example,
9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). All dollar
amounts used in or resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be
rounded, in the case of U.S. dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a
foreign currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded
upwards).

                                       20

CD RATE NOTES

    "CD Rate" means the rate on any Interest Determination Date for negotiable
    certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity as published by the Board
    of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB") in "Statistical
    Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication of
    the FRB ("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)".

    If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m. on the
    Calculation Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest
    Determination Date set forth in the daily update of H.15(519), available
    through the world wide website of the FRB at
    http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/Update, or any successor site or
    publication or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
    displaying the applicable rate ("H.15 Daily Update") under the caption "CDs
    (Secondary Market)".

    If such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update by
    3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the
    CD Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as
    of 10:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date of three leading nonbank
    dealers(4) in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in New York
    City selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable U.S. dollar
    certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks of the
    highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit
    with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity in the denomination
    of $5,000,000.

    If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set
    forth above, the CD Rate will remain the CD Rate then in effect on such
    Interest Determination Date.

COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE NOTES

    "Commercial Paper Rate" means the Money Market Yield (calculated as
    described below) of the rate on any Interest Determination Date for
    commercial paper having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15(519) under
    the heading "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial".

    If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m. on the
    Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market
    Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper
    of the Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading
    "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial".

    If by 3:00 p.m. on such Calculation Date such rate is not published in
    either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will
    determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the
    arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m. on such Interest
    Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper
    in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of
    the Index Maturity placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is
    "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating
    organization.

----------------------------------
(4) Such nonbank dealers referred to in this Statement of Terms may include
  affiliates of the Dealer.

                                       21
<PAGE>

    If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
    mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to such Interest
    Determination Date will remain the Commercial Paper Rate then in effect on
    such Interest Determination Date.

    "Money Market Yield" will be a yield calculated in accordance with the
    following formula:

                             D x 360
    Money Market Yield =  ------------- x 100
                          360 - (D x M)

    where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper
    quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to
    the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being
    calculated.

FEDERAL FUNDS RATE NOTES

    "Federal Funds Rate" means the rate on any Interest Determination Date for
    federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds
    (Effective)" and displayed on Moneyline Telerate (or any successor service)
    on page 120 (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that
    service) ("Telerate Page 120").

    If the above rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not so
    published by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate will
    be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily
    Update under the heading "Federal Funds/(Effective)".

    If such rate is not published as described above by 3:00 p.m. on the
    Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds
    Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in
    overnight U.S. dollar federal funds arranged by each of three leading
    brokers of Federal Funds transactions in New York City selected by the
    Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date.

    If the brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
    mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate will remain the Federal Funds Rate
    then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

LIBOR NOTES

    The London Interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") means, with respect to any
    Interest Determination Date, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having
    the Index Maturity that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00
    a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date.

    If no rate appears, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at
    approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date
    at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered to prime banks in the London
    interbank market by four major banks in such market selected by the
    Calculation Agent for a term equal to the Index Maturity and in principal
    amount equal to an amount that in the Calculation Agent's judgment is
    representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at
    such time (a "Representative Amount"). The Calculation Agent will request
    the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of

                                       22
<PAGE>

    its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the
    arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are
    provided, LIBOR for such interest period will be the arithmetic mean of the
    rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in New York City, on such Interest
    Determination Date by three major banks in New York City, selected by the
    Calculation Agent, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for
    a term equal to the Index Maturity and in a Representative Amount; provided,
    however, that if fewer than three banks so selected by the Calculation Agent
    are providing such quotations, the then existing LIBOR rate will remain in
    effect for such Interest Payment Period.

    "Designated LIBOR Page" means the display designated as page "3750" on
    Moneyline Telerate (or such other page as may replace the 3750 page on that
    service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British
    Bankers' Association for the purposes of displaying London interbank offered
    rates for U.S. dollar deposits).

PRIME RATE NOTES

    "Prime Rate" means the rate on any Interest Determination Date as published
    in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan".

    If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the
    Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate will be the rate on such Interest
    Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update opposite the caption
    "Bank Prime Loan".

    If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date in
    either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will
    determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest
    publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME1
    Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as of
    11:00 a.m., on that Interest Determination Date.

    If fewer than four such rates referred to above are so published by 3:00
    p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Prime
    Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates
    quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360
    as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by three
    major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

    If the banks selected are not quoting as mentioned above, the Prime Rate
    will remain the Prime Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

    "Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page" means the display designated as page "US
    PRIME1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as
    may replace the US PRIME1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying
    prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).

                                       23

TREASURY RATE NOTES

"Treasury Rate" means:

    service) on page 56 (or any other page as may replace that page on that
    service) ("Telerate Page 56") or page 57 (or any other page as may replace
    that page on that service) ("Telerate Page 57"), or

    (2) if the rate referred to in clause (1) is not so published by 3:00 p.m.
    on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield (as defined

    primary United States government securities dealers selected by the
    Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity
    closest to the Index Maturity specified in the Supplement, or

    (7) if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
    mentioned in clause (6), the Treasury Rate in effect on the particular

"Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in
accordance with the following formula:

                             D x N
Bond Equivalent Yield =  ------------- x 100
                         360 - (D x M)

                                       24
<PAGE>

    where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted
    on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, "N" refers to 365 or
    366, as the case may be, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the
    applicable Interest Reset Period.

3. Final Maturity. The Stated Maturity Date for any Note will be the date so
  specified in the Supplement, which shall be no later than 397 days from the
  date of issuance. On its Stated Maturity Date, or any date prior to the Stated
  Maturity Date on which the particular Note becomes due and payable by the
  declaration of acceleration, each such date being referred to as a Maturity
  Date, the principal amount of each Note, together with accrued and unpaid
  interest thereon, will be immediately due and payable.

4. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
  "Event of Default" with respect to a Note: (i) default in any payment of
  principal of or interest on such Note (including on a redemption thereof);
  (ii) the Issuer makes any compromise arrangement with its creditors generally
  including the entering into any form of moratorium with its creditors
  generally; (iii) a court having jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for
  relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under any applicable
  bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
  there shall be appointed a receiver, administrator, liquidator, custodian,
  trustee or sequestrator (or similar officer) with respect to the whole or
  substantially the whole of the assets of the Issuer and any such decree, order
  or appointment is not removed, discharged or withdrawn within 60 days
  thereafter; or (iv) the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any
  applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
  effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case
  under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a
  receiver, administrator, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or
  sequestrator (or similar official), with respect to the whole or substantially
  the whole of the assets of the Issuer or make any general assignment for the
  benefit of creditors. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
  principal of each obligation evidenced by such Note (together with interest
  accrued and unpaid thereon) shall become, without any notice or demand,
  immediately due and payable. (5)

5. Obligation Absolute. No provision of the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement
  under which the Notes are issued shall alter or impair the obligation of the
  Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
  interest on each Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
  currency, herein prescribed.

6. Supplement. Any term contained in the Supplement shall supercede any
  conflicting term contained herein.

---------------------
(5) Unlike single payment notes, where a default arises only at the stated
  maturity, interest-bearing notes with multiple payment dates should contain a
  default provision permitting acceleration of the maturity if the Issuer
  defaults on an interest payment.
