PS-3


 

“Coupon Period” is the period from and including the Original Issue Date to but excluding the immediately following Interest Payment Date and thereafter from and including an Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next following Interest Payment Date.
For the purpose of calculating the value of “N”, for each calendar day in a Coupon Period that is not a New York Business Day, the 10CMS fixing and 2CMS fixing will revert to the setting on the previous New York Business Day.
The fixing for days falling after the seventh New York Business Days prior to the end of a Coupon Period and up to but excluding the end of the same Coupon Period, will be the same as that for the seventh New York Business Days prior (the “Rate Cut-Off Date”).
“10CMS” is the US Dollar 10 year Constant Maturity Swap as published on Reuters Page ISDAFIX1 at 11:00 am New York Time.
“2CMS” is the US Dollar 2 year Constant Maturity Swap as published on Reuters Page ISDAFIX1 at 11:00 am New York Time.
If 10CMS or 2CMS is not displayed on Reuters Page ISDAFIX1, such page is not available or the method of calculating such rate has been changed in a material way, the Calculation Agent will request the principal New York City office of five leading dealers who will provide quotations for such rate using the mid-market rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such date. If five quotations are provided, the rate will be calculated by eliminating the highest (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and lowest (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) quotations and taking the arithmetic mean of the remaining quotations. If at least three, but fewer than five, quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained. If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, the rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent acting in good faith and in accordance with standard market practice.
