quotation as provided in the preceding
paragraph, the Reference Rate for the relevant
Interest Period shall be the rate per annum
which the Principal Paying Agent determines as
being the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary
to the ®fth decimal place, with 0.000005 being
rounded
upwards)
of

Speci®ed Time on the relevant Interest

Currency for a period equal to that which would
have been used for the Reference Rate by
leading banks in the Euro-zone inter-bank
market or, if fewer than two of the Reference

offered rates, the offered rate for deposits in
euro for a period equal to that which would
have been used for the Reference Rate, or the
arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of
the offered rates for deposits in the Agreed
Currency for a period equal to that which would
have been used for the Reference Rate, at
which, at approximately the Speci®ed Time on
the relevant Interest Determination Date, any
