      (b)    if, on any such Euro Interest Determination Date,  the screen rate

             Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations as calculated
             in paragraph ; and

      (d)    if,  on any such Euro Interest Determination Date, fewer than  two
             Reference  Banks  provide  quotations, the Agent Bank will consult
             with the Note Trustee and the  Third  Issuer  for  the  purpose of
             agreeing  a total of two banks in the Euro-zone inter-bank  market
             to provide such quotations and the relevant rate for that Interest
             Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations as calculated
             in paragraph .  If no such banks are agreed then the relevant rate

             Bank will determine  the  arithmetic mean, rounded upwards to five
             decimal places, of the

                                       26



             offered  quotations  to leading   banks in the  London  inter-bank
             market for sterling  deposits  for the relevant period (or, in the
             case of the first Interest   Period,  the linear  interpolation of
             the arithmetic  mean of  such offered  quotations for  three-month
             and four-month  sterling  deposits (rounded upwards, if necessary,
             to five decimal places)).

             This will be determined by  reference  to the display as quoted on
             the  Moneyline  Telerate  Screen  No. 3750 or,  if  the  Moneyline
             Telerate  Screen No. 3750 stops providing  these  quotations,  the
             replacement   service   for   the   purposes  of  displaying  this
             information  will  be  used.   If  the replacement  service  stops
             displaying the information, another  page  as  determined  by  the
             Third Issuer with the approval of the Note Trustee will be used.

             In each of these cases, the determination will be made at or about
             11.00 a.m., London time, on that date;

      (b)    if,  on  any such Sterling Interest Determination Date, the screen
             rate is unavailable, the Agent Bank will:

             (i)   request the principal London office of each of the Reference
                   Banks  to  provide the Agent Bank with its offered quotation
                   to leading banks  for  sterling  deposits  of the equivalent
                   amount,  and for the relevant period, in the  London  inter-
                   bank market as at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time); and

             (ii)  calculate  the  arithmetic  mean,  rounded  upwards  to five
                   decimal places, of those quotations;

      (c)    if,  on  any such Sterling Interest Determination Date, the screen
             rate is unavailable  and  only two or three of the Reference Banks
             provide offered quotations,  the  relevant  rate for that Interest
             Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations as calculated
             in paragraph (b); and

      (d)    if, on any such Sterling Interest Determination  Date,  fewer than
             two  Reference  Banks  provide  quotations,  the  Agent  Bank will
             consult with the Note Trustee and the Third Issuer for the purpose
             of  agreeing  a total of two banks to provide such quotations  and
             the relevant rate  for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic
             mean of the quotations as calculated in paragraph (b).  If no such
             banks are agreed then  the  relevant rate for that Interest Period
             will be the rate in effect for  the last preceding Interest Period
             for which paragraph (a) or (b) was applicable;

             five decimal places, of the offered quotations to leading banks in

             Three-Month USD-LIBOR for the first Interest  Period  shall be the
             linear  interpolation  of  the  arithmetic  mean  of  such offered
             quotations for three-month and four-month Dollar deposits (rounded
             upwards, if necessary, to five decimal places).

             about 11.00 a.m., London time, on that date;

      (b)    if, on any such Dollar Interest  Determination  Date,  the  screen
             rate is unavailable, the Agent Bank will:

                   amount and for the relevant period, in the London inter-bank
                   market as at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time); and

             (ii)  calculate  the  arithmetic  mean,  rounded  upwards  to five
                   decimal places, of those quotations;

      (c)    if,  on  any  such  Dollar Interest Determination Date, the screen
             rate is unavailable and  only  two or three of the Reference Banks
             provide offered quotations, the  relevant  rate  for that Interest
             Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations as calculated
             in paragraph ; and

                                       36



      (d)    if, on any such Dollar Interest Determination Date, fewer than two
             Reference  Banks provide quotations, the Agent Bank  will  consult
             with the Note  Trustee  and  the  Third  Issuer for the purpose of
             agreeing a total of two banks to provide such  quotations  and the
             relevant rate for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean
             of  the  quotations as calculated in paragraph .  If no such banks
             are agreed then the relevant rate for that Interest Period will be
             the rate in  effect  for  the  last  preceding Interest Period for
