During the Fixed Rate Period, the interest on the Notes will be equal to 1.50% per annum. During the Fixed Rate Period, interest will be computed and paid on a 30/360 basis (based upon the number of days elapsed in each month in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months).
Interest on the Notes for the period from and including May 30, 2013 to but excluding the Maturity Date (the “Floating Rate Period”) will be payable in U.S. Dollars quarterly, in arrears, on each February 28 (or in the case of a leap year February 29), May 30 August 30, and November 30, beginning August 30, 2013 (each a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”); provided that, if any such day falls on a day that is not a Business Day, it will be postponed to the following Business Day and interest thereon will not continue to accrue, except that if such following Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. During the Floating Rate Period, the interest rate on the Notes will be equal to the sum of three month USD LIBOR plus 1.00%; provided that such interest rate shall at all times equal or exceed 1.45% per annum (the “Minimum Interest Rate”). The initial floating rate will be determined two London Business Days prior to May 30, 2013, based on three month USD LIBOR plus 1.00%. During the Floating Rate Period, the interest rate will be reset quarterly on each scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Reset Date”), and will be determined quarterly, two London Business Days prior to each Interest Reset Date. During the Floating Rate Period, interest will be computed and paid on a 30/360 basis (based upon the number of days elapsed in each month in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months).
