LIBOR Determination:
|
“LIBOR,” with respect to a Floating Rate Interest Period, shall be the offered rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits of US dollars having a maturity of three months that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) as of 11:00 a.m., London time.
If no rate appears on the Designated LIBOR Page, LIBOR will be determined for such Interest Determination Date on the basis of the rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date at which deposits in United States dollars are offered to prime banks in the London inter-bank market by four major banks in such market selected by the calculation agent, after consultation with us, for a term of three months and in a Representative Amount. The calculation agent will request that the principal London office of each of such banks provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Floating Rate Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Floating Rate Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m. in the City of New York on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City, selected by the calculation agent, after consultation with us, for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, for a term of three months and in a Representative Amount. If at least two such quotations provided, LIBOR for such Floating Rate Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR for such Floating Rate Period will be LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period.
“Designated LIBOR Page” means the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 display page, or any successor page, on Reuters or any successor service (or any such other service(s) as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for US dollar deposits).
“Interest Determination Date” for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of such Floating Rate Interest Period.
“London Banking Day” is any day in which dealings in United States
|
dollars are transacted or, with respect to any future date, are expected to be transacted in the London interbank market.
“Representative Amount” means an amount that in the judgment of the calculation agent is representative for a single transaction in US dollars in such market at such time.
All calculations of the calculation agent, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Issuer and on the holders of the Floating Rate Notes.
All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).
The interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by law.
