Component 2 on digital equipment includes computers and projectors that will be used for classroom teaching. By the end of the Project, all teachers should have received a laptop. In addition, projectors and stands are delivered to all regular size classrooms with more than five pupils.
Component 3 concerns the deployment of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The WLAN systems in schools is enable security policies setup, centralized configuration and support the 802.11 protocol. Around 1 800 schools should be equipped with WLAN systems. In each school, the number and location of the access points (AP) depends on the layout of the premises. Based on the measurements of the signal strength during the design planning, sufficient APs are installed to cover the school buildings (optional the gym) without the schoolyard. APs are connected with cables of at least Cat 6 standard or fibre optic cables merging in a main rack consisting of switch(es), uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and patch panels. A supervision of the deployment ensures that the WLAN equipment is installed accordingly.
Component 4a on AMRES backbone upgrade. The Project extends the locations from 5 to 17 nodes with DWDM equipment and enables a data transfer of 20gbps on all links. Due to the expected increase of network load super-fast 100gbps DWDM backbone will be established between 4 main core locations and additional five locations will be upgraded to 40gbps.
Component 4b on the upgrade of the AMRES central location. In the central location, existing systems such as the content filtering, wireless controllers, firewalls, cybersecurity protection against Denial of Service attacks and MPLS core equipment will be proportionally upgraded and integrated in Security Operations Center of AMRES CERT in order to cope with rising needs of timely, strong and clear response to all security incidents in school network. Also AMRES tool for monitoring and real-time reporting on status of more than 3000 WLAN school connections (fibre, XDSL, 4G…) will be upgraded.

Schedule B
Definition of EURIBOR
A. EURIBOR
"EURIBOR" means:
a) in respect of a relevant period of less than one month, the Screen Rate (as defined below) for a term of one month;
b) in respect of a relevant period of one or more months for which a Screen Rate is available, the applicable Screen Rate for a term for the corresponding number of months; and
c) in respect of a relevant period of more than one month for which a Screen Rate is not available, the rate resulting from a linear interpolation by reference to two Screen Rates, one of which is applicable for a period next shorter and the other for a period next longer than the length of the relevant period,
(the period for which the rate is taken or from which the rates are interpolated being the "Representative Period").
For the purposes of paragraphs (a) to (c) above:
(i) "available" means the rates, for given maturities, that are calculated and published by Global Rate Set Systems Ltd (GRSS), or such other service provider selected by the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI), or any successor to that function of EMMI, as determined by the Bank; and
(ii) "Screen Rate" means the rate of interest for deposits in EUR for the relevant period as published at 11h00, Brussels time, or at a later time acceptable to the Bank on the day (the "Reset Date") which falls 2 (two) Relevant Business Days prior to the first day of the relevant period, on Reuters page EURIBOR 01 or its successor page or, failing which, by any other means of publication chosen for this purpose by the Bank.
If such Screen Rate is not so published, the Bank shall request the principal offices of four major banks in the euro-zone, selected by the Bank, to quote the rate at which EUR deposits in a comparable amount are offered by each of them, as at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time on the Reset Date to prime banks in the euro-zone interbank market for a period equal to the Representative Period. If at least 2 (two) quotations are provided, the rate for that Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If no sufficient quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in the euro-zone, selected by the Bank, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the day which falls 2 (two) Relevant Business Days after the Reset Date, for loans in EUR in a comparable amount to leading European banks for a period equal to the Representative Period. The Bank shall inform the Borrower without delay of the quotations received by the Bank.
All percentages resulting from any calculations referred to in this Schedule will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one thousandth of a percentage point, with halves being rounded up.
If any of the foregoing provisions becomes inconsistent with provisions adopted under the aegis of EMMI (or any successor to that function of EMMI as determined by the Bank) in respect of EURIBOR, the Bank may by notice to the Borrower amend the provision to bring it into line with such other provisions.
If the Screen Rate becomes permanently unavailable, the EURIBOR replacement rate will be the rate (inclusive of any spreads or adjustments) formally recommended by (i) the working group on euro risk-free rates established by the European Central Bank (ECB), the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the European Commission, or (ii) the European Money Market Institute, as the administrator of EURIBOR, or (iii) the competent authority responsible under Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 for supervising the European Money Market Institute, as the administrator of the EURIBOR, (iv) the national competent authorities designated under Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, or (v) the European Central Bank.
If no Screen Rate and/or the EURIBOR replacement rate is available as provided above, EURIBOR shall be the rate (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) which is determined by the Bank to be the all-inclusive cost to the Bank for the funding of the relevant Tranche based upon the then applicable internally generated Bank reference rate or an alternative rate determination method reasonably determined by the Bank.
