(B) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on the Reuters LIBOR01 Page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters of the Notes) in the London interbank market selected and identified by the Company to provide the Calculation Agent with a quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. Dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on the original issue date of the Notes or the related Interest Reset Date, as applicable, immediately following such Interest Determination Date, are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations as calculated by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the

rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters of the Notes) selected and identified by the Company for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks having a three-month maturity commencing on the original issue date of the Notes or the related Interest Reset Date, as applicable, immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected by the Company are not quoting such rates as set forth in this paragraph (B), Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date shall be Three-Month LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date.

(v) All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

(vi) Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Company and the Trustee (if the Calculation Agent is not the Trustee) of the interest rate for the new Interest Reset Period. Upon request of a holder of the Notes, the Calculation Agent shall provide to such holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the interest rate for the next Interest Reset Period.
