option pricing - Determine price of financial contract


I wonder if some one can help me with the solution to this question from Björk's "Arbitrage theory in continuous time":




At date of maturity T2 the holder of a financial contract will obtain the amount: 1T2T1T2T1S(u)du

where T1 is some time point before T2. Determine the arbitrage free price of the contract at time t. Assume you live in a Black-Scholes world and that $t


Earlier in the book he states this theorem that I think one might use:



The arbitrage free price of a claim Φ(S(T)) is given by: Π(t,Φ)=F(s,t)

where F(,) is given by the formula F(s,t)=er(Tt)EQs,t[Φ(S(T))]
where the Q-dynamics of S(t) are given by dS(t)=rS(t)dt+S(t)σ(t,S(t))dW(t)



However I'm not really sure how to apply it in this case. Can anybody help me out here?
