This excerpt taken from the DIS 8-K filed Mar 10, 2005. Prime Rate Notes.
Prime Rate Notes will bear interest at the interest rate (calculated
with reference to the Prime Rate and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any)
specified in such Prime Rate Notes and in an applicable Pricing Supplement,
except that the initial interest rate for each Prime Rate Note will be the rate
specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Pricing Supplement, “Prime Rate” means, with respect to any Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the rate published in H.15(519) for such date under the caption “Bank Prime Loan”, or if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to that Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the rate on that Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Bank Prime Loan”. If neither rate is so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Prime Rate for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates of
24
interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 (as defined below) as such bank’s prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, or if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include one or more of the Agents or their affiliates) in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company); provided, however, that if the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, the “Prime Rate” for the Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the Prime Rate Notes for which the Prime Rate is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, “Reuters Screen USPRIME1” means the display designated as page ”USPRIME1” on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service, or any successor service or page, for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks.
