The notes shall bear interest on their principal amount during each three-month period from (and including) August 8, 2006 (the “Interest Commencement Date”) to (but excluding) November 8, 2006 and thereafter from (and including) each Interest Payment Date to (but excluding) the next following Interest Payment Date (each such three-month period, an “Interest Period”).

Screen Page:   

LIBOR Moneyline Telerate Page 3750

 

If, as at such time, the Moneyline Telerate Page 3750 is not available or if no such quotation appears, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to provide a quotation of its rate at which deposits in Japanese yen are offered by it at approximately 11.00 a.m. London time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of the Designated Maturity (as defined below) commencing on the first day of the relevant Interest Period and in a Representative Amount (as defined below), assuming the Day Count Fraction (as defined below).

 

If at least two quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the quotations minus the Margin. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the rates quoted by major banks in Tokyo, selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11.00 a.m. Tokyo time, on that Interest Determination Date for loans in Japanese yen to leading European banks for a period of the Designated Maturity commencing on the first day of the relevant Interest Period and in a Representative Amount, minus the Margin.

 

“Designated Maturity” means a period equivalent to the Interest Period.

 

“Representative Amount” means an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time.

 

 

 

 


     “Reference Banks” as used herein means four major banks in the London interbank market, selected by the Calculation Agent.

Interest Determination Dates:    2 London business days prior to the commencement of the relevant Interest Period.
Interest Amount:   

The Calculation Agent will, on or as soon as practicable after each time at which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, determine the Rate of Interest and calculate the amount of interest payable on the notes for the relevant Interest Period. Each Interest Amount shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest and the Day Count Fraction to the Aggregate Principal Amount of the notes and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest Japanese yen, with 0.5 yen being rounded upwards.

 

The Calculation Agent will cause the Rate of Interest, each Interest Amount for each Interest Period, each Interest Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date to be notified to the Issuer and to the noteholders as set forth in the prospectus supplement as soon as possible after their determination, but in no event later than the fourth London Business Day thereafter and, if required by the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange as soon as possible after their determination, but in no event later than the first day of the relevant Interest Period. Each Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date so notified may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Period. Any such amendment will be promptly notified to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to the noteholders in accordance with the notice procedures described in the prospectus supplement.

 

All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for these purposes by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent and the noteholders.
