To the extent that any such dividend would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock (which shall be determined with respect to the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by each holder) then the amount of such fraction multiplied by $10.00 shall be paid in cash (unless there are no legally available funds with which to make such cash payment, in which event such cash payment shall be made as soon as possible).

Dividends will be mandatorily due and payable in the circumstances described in Section 7.3(b)(ii) below, except that dividends will never be mandatorily due and payable if the Capital Limitation described below in Section 7.3(b)(iii) applies.

The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to that Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of that Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major money center banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than $1,000,000.

All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Company Preferred Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).
