Such Gilt Yield Quotations shall be obtained by or on behalf of the Issuer and provided to the Calculation Agent. If at least four Gilt Yield Quotations are provided, the Gilt Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the Gilt Yield Quotations provided, eliminating the highest Gilt Yield Quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest Gilt Yield Quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest). If only two or three Gilt Yield Quotations are provided, the Gilt Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the Gilt Yield Quotations provided. If only one Gilt Yield Quotation is provided, the Gilt Rate will be the Gilt Yield Quotation provided. If no Gilt Yield Quotations are received, the First Reset Rate of Interest or the Subsequent Reset Rate of Interest (as applicable) shall be determined to be the rate of interest as at the last preceding Resettable Note Reset Date or, in the case of the first Reset Determination Date, the First Reset Rate of Interest shall be the Initial Rate of Interest (though substituting, where the Subsequent Margin to be applied to the relevant Reset Period differs from the First Margin or Subsequent Margin (as applicable) which applied to the last preceding Reset Period, the Subsequent Margin relating to the relevant Reset Period in place of the First Margin or Subsequent Margin (as the case may be) relating to that preceding Reset Period);
