  þ   Other:
From the Interest Commencement Date to but excluding the Floating Rate Commencement Date:
10.00% p.a.
From and including the Floating Rate Commencement Date to but excluding the Maturity Date the Interest Rate will be calculated according to the following formula:
10 times (CMS 30YR — CMS 2YR) p.a.
Where:
“Interest Period” is the period from and including the Interest Commencement Date to but excluding the immediately following Interest Payment Date and thereafter any period from and including an Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next following Interest Payment Date
“CMS 30YR” is, for any Interest Reset Date, the rate for U.S. dollar swaps with a maturity of 30 years, expressed as a percentage, that appears on Reuters Screen ISDAFIX1 under the heading “30Y” as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the 2nd New York Business Day immediately preceding the start of the related Interest Period.
“CMS 2YR” is, for any Interest Reset Date, the rate for U.S. dollar swaps with a maturity of 2 years, expressed as a percentage, that appears on Reuters Screen ISDAFIX1 under the heading “2Y” as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the 2nd New York Business Day immediately preceding the start of the related Interest Period.
If CMS 30YR or CMS 2YR does not appear on Reuters Screen ISDAFIX1 on any Interest Determination Date, the rate for such date shall be determined on the basis of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations provided by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York city time on such date. For this purpose, the semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the Designated Maturity commencing on that date and in a Representative Amount with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to USD-LIBOR-BBA with a designated maturity of three months. 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 Calculation Agent acting in good faith and in accordance with standard market practice.
Reference Banks” means five leading swap dealers in the New York city interbank market selected by the
