method of calculating interest
The Calculation Agent will calculate and determine
(e.g.: Day Count Fraction,
the Interest Amount payable in respect of the Notes
rounding up provision):
on each Interest Payment Date by multiplying the
Interest Rate (Reference Rate plus Margin) by the
outstanding Aggregate Nominal Amount of the Notes
on the relevant Interest Payment Date and
multiplying such amount by the Day Count Fraction
and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest cent,
half a cent being rounded downwards.
Provided that, if a Potential Failure to Pay has
occurred in respect of one or more of the Reference
Entities on or before an Interest Payment Date, the
outstanding Aggregate Nominal Amount of the Notes
on such Interest Payment Date will be determined by
the Calculation Agent without regard to the
Reference Entity Weighting of the Reference Entity in
respect of which the Potential Failure to Pay has
occurred. If no subsequent Failure to Pay Credit
Event occurs in respect of any such Reference Entity
prior to the next following Interest Payment Date,
the Calculation Agent will increase the Interest
Amount on such Interest Payment Date by the
amount withheld on the previous Interest Payment
Date.
