20. 1, poses several computational difficulties. The spin couplings, including an estimate of the exchange contributions that result from this modification, do not differ significantly from our results given here.

22. Multiple scattering effects were treated in Ref. 11, where the problem of two localized spins interacting via an itinerant exciton was solved utilizing scattering matrix formalism. This approach goes beyond the second-order perturbation result given in Eq. (1) but requires the use of a model separable potential.
