The Principal Paying Agent will request the principal office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least three quotations are provided, the rate for the Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest);
"Reference Banks" means five leading swap dealers in the interbank market for euro swap transactions with an equivalent maturity to the Reset Period as selected by the Issuer;
