Common use of Determination of Interest Clause in Contracts

Determination of Interest. Rates The interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate, the Spread (if any), and the Spread Multiplier (if any), for any Note shall be established by the applicable Remarketing Agent in a remarketing as provided for in Section 207 hereof or otherwise not later than the first day of each succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note, which must be a Business Day (each an "Interest Rate Adjustment Date"), and will be the minimum rate of interest and, in the case of a floating interest rate, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any) necessary in the judgment of such Remarketing Agent to produce a par bid in the secondary market for such Note on the date the interest rate is established. Such rate will be effective for the next succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note commencing on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date. In the event that (i) the applicable Remarketing Agent has been removed or has resigned and no successor has been appointed; or (ii) such Remarketing Agent has failed to announce the appropriate interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any), as the case may be, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for any Note for whatever reason; or (iii) the appropriate interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any), as the case may be, or Interest Rate Period cannot be determined for any Note for whatever reason, then the next succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note shall be automatically converted to a Weekly Rate Period, and the rate of interest thereon will be equal to the Federal Funds Rate (such rate of interest being referred to herein as the "Special Interest Rate"). After any Interest Rate Adjustment Date any Beneficial Owner may contact the Trustee or the Remarketing Agent in order to be advised of the interest rate applicable to such Beneficial Owner's remarketed Notes. No notice of the applicable interest rate will be sent to Beneficial Owners. The interest rate and other terms announced by the Remarketing Agent, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive upon the Beneficial Owners, the Company and the Trustee. Section 206. Election and Determination of a Floating Interest Rate by the Company (a) While any Note bears interest in the Long Term Rate Mode or the SPURS Mode (with respect to the period from, and including, the Interest Rate Adjustment Date commencing such period to, but excluding, the SPURS Remarketing Date), the Company may elect a floating interest rate by providing notice, which shall be submitted or promptly confirmed in writing (which includes facsimile or appropriate electronic media), received by the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent for such Note (the "Floating Interest Rate Notice") not less than ten (10) days prior to the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period. The Floating Interest Rate Notice must identify by CUSIP number or otherwise the portion of the Note to which it relates and state the Interest Rate Period (or portion thereof, in the case of the SPURS Mode) therefor to which it relates. Each Floating Interest Rate Notice must also state the Interest Rate Basis or Bases, the initial Interest Reset Date, the Interest Reset Period and Interest Reset Dates, the Interest Rate Period and Interest Payment Dates, the Index Maturity and the Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate and/or Floating Rate Minimum Interest Rate, if any. If one or more of the applicable Interest Rate Bases is LIBOR or the CMT Rate, the Floating Interest Rate Notice shall also specify the Index Currency and Designated LIBOR Page or the Designated CMT Maturity Index and Designated CMT Telerate Page, respectively. A form of Floating Interest Rate Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit C. If any Note bears interest at a floating rate in a Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period, such Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread (if any) and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier (if any) specified by the Remarketing Agent, in the case of a Long Term Rate Period, or the SPURS Agent, in the case of a SPURS Rate Period. Commencing on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Interest Rate Period, the rate at which interest on such Note will be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date during such Interest Rate Period specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice. The applicable floating interest rate on any Note during any Interest Rate Period shall be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases, which may include (i) the CD Rate, (ii) the CMT Rate, (iii) the Federal Funds Rate, (iv) LIBOR, (v) the Prime Rate, (vi) the Treasury Rate or (vii) such other Interest Rate Basis or interest rate formula as may be specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (each, an "Interest Rate Basis"). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the interest rate with respect to each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 206. Except as set forth above or in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i), if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii), if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, unless LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. The applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice will specify whether the rate of interest will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually or on such other specified basis (each, an "Interest Reset Period") and the dates on which such rate of interest will be reset (each, an "Interest Reset Date"). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the Interest Reset Dates will be, in the case of a floating interest rate which resets: (i) daily, each Business Day; (ii) weekly, the Wednesday of each week (unless the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, in which case the Tuesday of each week except as described below); (iii) monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; (iv) quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; (v) semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; and (vi) annually, the third Wednesday of the month specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice. The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date shall be the rate determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date. The "Interest Determination Date" shall mean (i), with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate, the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; (ii) with respect to LIBOR, the second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Index Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case it shall mean the applicable Interest Reset Date; and (iii) with respect to the Treasury Rate, the day within the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls upon which day Treasury Bills are normally auctioned; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date" shall mean such preceding Friday. If the interest rate of any Note is a floating interest rate determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Note shall be the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis shall determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date. Either or both of the following may also apply to the floating interest rate on any Note for an Interest Rate Period: (i) a floating rate maximum interest rate, or ceiling, that may accrue during any Interest Reset Period (the "Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate") and (ii) a floating rate minimum interest rate, or floor, that may accrue during any Interest Reset Period (the "Floating Rate Minimum Interest Rate"). In addition to any Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate that may apply, the interest rate on any Note shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted under the law of the State of New York, as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application. Except as provided below or in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, interest will be payable, in the case of floating interest rates which reset: (i) daily, weekly or monthly, on the third Wednesday of each month; (ii) quarterly, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; (iii) semiannually, on the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; and (iv) annually, on the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice and, in each case, on the Business Day immediately following the applicable Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period, as the case may be. If any Interest Payment Date for the payment of interest at a floating rate (other than following the end of the applicable Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period, as the case may be) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. All percentages resulting from any calculation of floating interest rates will be rounded to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded, in the case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency or composite currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards). Accrued floating rate interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the applicable Note by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the applicable Interest Reset Period. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the interest factor for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, if the floating interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, the interest factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied as specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice. For any Note bearing interest at a floating rate, the applicable Remarketing Agent shall determine the interest rate in effect from the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Note to the initial Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect for each Interest Reset Period thereafter shall be determined by a calculation agent selected by the Company (a "Calculation Agent"). Upon request of the Beneficial Owner of a Note, after any Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Calculation Agent or the Remarketing Agent shall disclose the interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate, Interest Rate Basis or Bases, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any), and in each case the other terms applicable to such Note then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to such Note. Except as described herein with respect to a Note earning interest at floating rates, the Beneficial Owner of a note shall not be entitled to receive notice of the applicable interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the "Calculation Date," if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

Determination of Interest. Rates The This bond will bear interest for each quarterly Interest Period at an annual rate andequal to Compounded SOFR, in determined as described below, plus the case of a floating interest rateMargin. On each Interest Payment Determination Date relating to the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Spread (if any), and Calculation Agent will calculate the Spread Multiplier (if any), for any Note shall be established amount of accrued interest payable on this bond by the applicable Remarketing Agent in a remarketing as provided for in Section 207 hereof or otherwise not later than the first day of each succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note, which must be a Business Day (each an "Interest Rate Adjustment Date"), and will be the minimum rate of interest and, in the case of a floating interest rate, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any) necessary in the judgment of such Remarketing Agent to produce a par bid in the secondary market for such Note on the date the interest rate is established. Such rate will be effective for the next succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note commencing on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date. In the event that multiplying (i) the applicable Remarketing Agent has been removed or has resigned and no successor has been appointed; or outstanding principal amount of this bond by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in such Remarketing Agent has failed to announce Observation Period divided by 360. In no event will the appropriate interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any), as the case may be, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date this bond be less than zero. The interest rate for any Note for whatever reason; or (iii) the appropriate interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any), as the case may be, or Interest Rate Period canwill not be determined adjusted for any Note modifications or amendments to the SOFR Index or SOFR data that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may publish after the interest rate for whatever reasonthat Interest Period has been determined. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any transaction documents relating to the Bonds of this Series, if the Company (or its Designee) determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to determining Compounded SOFR, then the next succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note Company shall be automatically converted promptly notify the Calculation Agent and the benchmark replacement provisions set forth below under “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” will thereafter apply to a Weekly Rate Period, and all determinations of the rate of interest thereon payable on this bond. For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate for each Interest Period on this bond will be an annual rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate (such rate of interest being referred to herein as the "Special Interest Rate"). After any Interest Rate Adjustment Date any Beneficial Owner may contact the Trustee or the Remarketing Agent in order to be advised sum of the interest rate applicable to such Beneficial Owner's remarketed NotesBenchmark Replacement and the Margin. No notice Absent willful misconduct, bad faith or manifest error, the calculation of the applicable interest rate will be sent to Beneficial Owners. The interest rate and other terms announced for each Interest Period by the Remarketing Calculation Agent, absent manifest erroror, shall be binding and conclusive upon the Beneficial Ownersin certain circumstances described herein, the Company and the Trustee. Section 206. Election and Determination of a Floating Interest Rate by the Company (a) While any Note bears interest in the Long Term Rate Mode or the SPURS Mode (with respect to the period from, and including, the Interest Rate Adjustment Date commencing such period to, but excluding, the SPURS Remarketing Dateits Designee), will be final and binding on the Company may elect a floating interest rate by providing noticeCompany, which shall be submitted or promptly confirmed in writing (which includes facsimile or appropriate electronic media), received by the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent for such Note (the "Floating Interest Rate Notice") not less than ten (10) days prior to the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period. The Floating Interest Rate Notice must identify by CUSIP number or otherwise the portion holders of the Note to which it relates and state the Interest Rate Period (or portion thereof, in the case of the SPURS Mode) therefor to which it relates. Each Floating Interest Rate Notice must also state the Interest Rate Basis or Bases, the initial Interest Reset Date, the Interest Reset Period and Interest Reset Dates, the Interest Rate Period and Interest Payment Dates, the Index Maturity and the Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate and/or Floating Rate Minimum Interest Rate, if any. If one or more of the applicable Interest Rate Bases is LIBOR or the CMT Rate, the Floating Interest Rate Notice shall also specify the Index Currency and Designated LIBOR Page or the Designated CMT Maturity Index and Designated CMT Telerate Page, respectively. A form of Floating Interest Rate Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit C. If any Note bears interest at a floating rate in a Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period, such Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread (if any) and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier (if any) specified by the Remarketing Agent, in the case of a Long Term Rate Period, or the SPURS Agent, in the case of a SPURS Rate Period. Commencing on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Interest Rate Period, the rate at which interest on such Note will be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date during such Interest Rate Period specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice. The applicable floating interest rate on any Note during any Interest Rate Period shall be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases, which may include (i) the CD Rate, (ii) the CMT Rate, (iii) the Federal Funds Rate, (iv) LIBOR, (v) the Prime Rate, (vi) the Treasury Rate or (vii) such other Interest Rate Basis or interest rate formula as may be specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (each, an "Interest Rate Basis"). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the interest rate with respect to each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions Bonds of this Section 206. Except as set forth above or in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i), if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii), if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, unless LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. The applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice will specify whether the rate of interest will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually or on such other specified basis (each, an "Interest Reset Period") and the dates on which such rate of interest will be reset (each, an "Interest Reset Date"). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the Interest Reset Dates will be, in the case of a floating interest rate which resets: (i) daily, each Business Day; (ii) weekly, the Wednesday of each week (unless the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, in which case the Tuesday of each week except as described below); (iii) monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; (iv) quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; (v) semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; and (vi) annually, the third Wednesday of the month specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice. The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date shall be the rate determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date. The "Interest Determination Date" shall mean (i), with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate, the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; (ii) with respect to LIBOR, the second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Index Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case it shall mean the applicable Interest Reset Date; and (iii) with respect to the Treasury Rate, the day within the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls upon which day Treasury Bills are normally auctioned; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date" shall mean such preceding Friday. If the interest rate of any Note is a floating interest rate determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Note shall be the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis shall determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date. Either or both of the following may also apply to the floating interest rate on any Note for an Interest Rate Period: (i) a floating rate maximum interest rate, or ceiling, that may accrue during any Interest Reset Period (the "Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate") and (ii) a floating rate minimum interest rate, or floor, that may accrue during any Interest Reset Period (the "Floating Rate Minimum Interest Rate"). In addition to any Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate that may apply, the interest rate on any Note shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted under the law of the State of New York, as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application. Except as provided below or in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, interest will be payable, in the case of floating interest rates which reset: (i) daily, weekly or monthly, on the third Wednesday of each month; (ii) quarterly, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; (iii) semiannually, on the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; and (iv) annually, on the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice and, in each case, on the Business Day immediately following the applicable Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period, as the case may be. If any Interest Payment Date for the payment of interest at a floating rate (other than following the end of the applicable Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period, as the case may be) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. All percentages resulting from any calculation of floating interest rates will be rounded to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded, in the case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency or composite currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards). Accrued floating rate interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the applicable Note by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the applicable Interest Reset Period. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the interest factor for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, if the floating interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, the interest factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied as specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice. For any Note bearing interest at a floating rate, the applicable Remarketing Agent shall determine the interest rate in effect from the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Note to the initial Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect for each Interest Reset Period thereafter shall be determined by a calculation agent selected by the Company (a "Calculation Agent"). Upon request of the Beneficial Owner of a Note, after any Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Calculation Agent or the Remarketing Agent shall disclose the interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate, Interest Rate Basis or Bases, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any), and in each case the other terms applicable to such Note then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to such Note. Except as described herein with respect to a Note earning interest at floating rates, the Beneficial Owner of a note shall not be entitled to receive notice of the applicable interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the "Calculation Date," if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may beSeries.

Determination of Interest. Rates The interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate, the Spread (if any), and the Spread Multiplier (if any), for any Note shall be established by the applicable Remarketing Agent in a remarketing as provided for in Section 207 hereof or otherwise not later than the first day of each succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note, which must be a Business Day (each an "Interest Rate Adjustment Date"), and will be the minimum rate of interest and, in the case of a floating interest rate, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any) necessary in the judgment of such Remarketing Agent to produce a par bid in the secondary market for such Note on the date the interest rate is established. Such rate will be effective for the next succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note commencing on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date. In the event that (i) the applicable Remarketing Agent has been removed or has resigned and no successor has been appointed; or (ii) such Remarketing Agent has failed to announce the appropriate interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any), as the case may be, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for any Note for whatever reason; or (iii) the appropriate interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any), as the case may be, or Interest Rate Period cannot be determined for any Note for whatever reason, then the next succeeding Interest Rate Period for such Note shall be automatically converted to a Weekly Rate Period, and the rate of interest thereon will be equal to the Federal Funds Rate (such rate of interest being referred to herein as the "Special Interest Rate"). After any Interest Rate Adjustment Date any Beneficial Owner may contact the Trustee or the Remarketing Agent in order to be advised of the interest rate applicable to such Beneficial Owner's remarketed Notes. No notice of the applicable interest rate will be sent to Beneficial Owners. The interest rate and other terms announced by the Remarketing Agent, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive upon the Beneficial Owners, the Company and the Trustee. Section 206. Election and Determination of a Floating Interest Rate by the Company (a) While any Note bears interest in the Long Term Rate Mode or the SPURS REPS Mode (with respect to the period from, and including, the Interest Rate Adjustment Date commencing such period to, but excluding, the SPURS REPS Remarketing Date), the Company may elect a floating interest rate by providing notice, which shall be submitted or promptly confirmed in writing (which includes facsimile or appropriate electronic media), received by the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent for such Note (the "Floating Interest Rate Notice") not less than ten (10) days prior to the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Long Term Rate Period or SPURS REPS Rate Period. The Floating Interest Rate Notice must identify by CUSIP number or otherwise the portion of the Note to which it relates and state the Interest Rate Period (or portion thereof, in the case of the SPURS REPS Mode) therefor to which it relates. Each Floating Interest Rate Notice must also state the Interest Rate Basis or Bases, the initial Interest Reset Date, the Interest Reset Period and Interest Reset Dates, the Interest Rate Period and Interest Payment Dates, the Index Maturity and the Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate and/or Floating Rate Minimum Interest Rate, if any. If one or more of the applicable Interest Rate Bases is LIBOR or the CMT Rate, the Floating Interest Rate Notice shall also specify the Index Currency and Designated LIBOR Page or the Designated CMT Maturity Index and Designated CMT Telerate Page, respectively. A form of Floating Interest Rate Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit C. If any Note bears interest at a floating rate in a Long Term Rate Period or SPURS REPS Rate Period, such Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread (if any) and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier (if any) specified by the Remarketing Agent, in the case of a Long Term Rate Period, or the SPURS AgentCallholder, in the case of a SPURS REPS Rate Period. Commencing on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Interest Rate Period, the rate at which interest on such Note will be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date during such Interest Rate Period specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice. The applicable floating interest rate on any Note during any Interest Rate Period shall be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases, which may include (i) the CD Rate, (ii) the CMT Rate, (iii) the Federal Funds Rate, (iv) LIBOR, (v) the Prime Rate, (vi) the Treasury Rate or (vii) such other Interest Rate Basis or interest rate formula as may be specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (each, an "Interest Rate Basis").

The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date shall be the rate determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date. The "Interest Determination Date" shall mean (i), with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate, the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; (ii) with respect to LIBOR, the second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Index Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case it shall mean the applicable Interest Reset Date; and (iii) with respect to the Treasury Rate, the day within the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls upon which day Treasury Bills are normally auctioned; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date" shall mean such preceding Friday. If the interest rate of any Note is a floating interest rate determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Note shall be the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis shall determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date. Either or both of the following may also apply to the floating interest rate on any Note for an Interest Rate Period: (i) a floating rate maximum interest rate, or ceiling, that may accrue during any Interest Reset Period (the "Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate") and (ii) a floating rate minimum interest rate, or floor, that may accrue during any Interest Reset Period (the "Floating Rate Minimum Interest Rate"). In addition to any Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate that may apply, the interest rate on any Note shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted under the law of the State of New York, as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application. Except as provided below or in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, interest will be payable, in the case of floating interest rates which reset: (i) daily, weekly or monthly, on the third Wednesday of each month; (ii) quarterly, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; (iii) semiannually, on the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; and (iv) annually, on the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice and, in each case, on the Business Day immediately following the applicable Long Term Rate Period or SPURS REPS Rate Period, as the case may be. If any Interest Payment Date for the payment of interest at a floating rate (other than following the end of the applicable Long Term Rate Period or SPURS REPS Rate Period, as the case may be) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. All percentages resulting from any calculation of floating interest rates will be rounded to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded, in the case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency or composite currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards). Accrued floating rate interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the applicable Note by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the applicable Interest Reset Period. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the interest factor for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, if the floating interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, the interest factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied as specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice. For any Note bearing interest at a floating rate, the applicable Remarketing Agent shall determine the interest rate in effect from the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Note to the initial Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect for each Interest Reset Period thereafter shall be determined by a calculation agent selected by the Company (a "Calculation Agent"). Upon request of the Beneficial Owner of a Note, after any Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Calculation Agent or the Remarketing Agent shall disclose the interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate, Interest Rate Basis or Bases, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any), and in each case the other terms applicable to such Note then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to such Note. Except as described herein with respect to a Note earning interest at floating rates, the Beneficial Owner of a note shall not be entitled to receive notice of the applicable interest rate, Spread (if any) or Spread Multiplier (if any). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the "Calculation Date," if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be.
