Each period from and including each
Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next
following Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, provided that the initial Interest
Period will commence on and include the Interest Commencement Date,
and the final Interest Period will end on but exclude the Maturity
Date.
For the purposes of the calculation
of the Interest Amount payable for any Interest Period, there shall
be no adjustment pursuant to the Business Day Convention specified
below.
As soon as practicable and in accordance with the
procedure specified herein, the Calculation Agent will determine
the Reference Rate (as defined below) and calculate the Interest
Amount with respect to each minimum Authorized Denomination for the
relevant Interest Period.
The Interest Amount with respect to each Interest
Period shall be a USD amount calculated on the relevant Rate Fixing
Date (as defined below) as follows:
INR 70,000 per minimum Authorized Denomination
divided by
the Reference Rate
(and rounding, if necessary, the
entire resulting figure to the nearest two decimal places, with USD
0.005 being rounded upwards).
The "Reference
Rate" means in respect of a Rate Fixing Date, the USD/INR
spot exchange rate for such date expressed as the amount of INR per
one USD, for settlement in two Fixing Business Days, reported by
Financial Benchmarks India, Private Ltd (the "FBIL")
(https:www.fbil.org.in) on such Rate Fixing Date at approximately
1:30 p.m. Mumbai time, or as soon as practicable
thereafter. If the
Reference Rate does not
appear on the FBIL's website (https:www.fbil.org.in) or on any successor page on the Rate
Fixing Date, then the Reference Rate shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the
Fallback Provision.
"Rate Fixing
Date" means the Scheduled Rate Fixing Date.
"Scheduled Rate
Fixing Date" means the date which is five Fixing Business
Days prior to each Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, or
such other date on which an amount in respect of the Notes is due
and payable, as the case may be. If any Scheduled Rate Fixing
Date is an Unscheduled Holiday (as defined below), the relevant
Rate Fixing Date shall be the next following relevant Fixing
Business Day, subject to the provisions in respect of any
Unscheduled Holiday set out below under "Deferral Period for
Unscheduled Holiday".
"Fixing Business
Day" means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on
which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments
and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign
exchange and foreign currency deposits) in Mumbai.
"Unscheduled
Holiday" means a day that is not a Fixing Business Day and
the market was not aware of such fact (by means of a public
announcement or by reference to other publicly available
information) until a time later than 9:00 a.m. local time in
Mumbai, two Fixing Business Days prior to the relevant Rate Fixing
Date.
Adjustments to
Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date:
If a Scheduled Rate Fixing Date is adjusted in
accordance with the Business Day Convention, then the Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date relating to such Scheduled Rate
Fixing Date shall be as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than two (2) Relevant Business Days after the date on which the
Reference Rate for such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date is
determined.
If any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date is
adjusted in accordance with the preceding sentence, then such
adjustment (and the corresponding payment obligations to be made on
such dates) shall apply only to such Interest Payment Date or
Maturity Date and no further adjustment shall apply to the amount
of interest or principal payable.
In no event shall an adjustment of
any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date in accordance with the
preceding paragraphs result in such Interest Payment Date or
Maturity Date falling prior to the date on which such Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date was originally due to fall or any
further interest or other additional payment in respect of any such
adjustment.
Fallback
Provision:
If the Reference Rate does not appear on the
FBIL's website (https:www.fbil.org.in) or
on any successor page on the Rate Fixing Date, then the Reference
Rate for such Rate Fixing Date shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent by requesting quotations for
the mid USD/INR spot foreign exchange rate from five Reference
Banks as selected by the Calculation Agent at or about 1:30 p.m.
Mumbai time on either (i) the first day (other than a Saturday or a
Sunday) following the Rate Fixing Date, if such day is a Relevant
Business Day, or (ii) if the first day (other than a Saturday or a
Sunday) following the Rate Fixing Date is not a Relevant Business
Day, the Rate Fixing Date.
If five or four quotations are
provided as requested, the Reference
Rate will be the arithmetic mean (rounded
to the nearest whole Indian Rupee, 0.5 being rounded upwards) of
the remaining three or two such quotations, as the case may be, for
such rate provided by the Reference Banks, after disregarding the
highest such quotation and the lowest such quotation (provided
that, if two or more such quotations are the highest such
quotations, then only one of such quotations shall be disregarded,
and if one or more such quotations are the lowest quotations, then
only one of such lowest quotations will be disregarded).
If only three or two such quotations
are provided as requested, the Reference
Rate shall be determined as described above
except that the highest and lowest quotations will not be
disregarded.
If only one or no such quotations
are provided as requested, or if the Calculation Agent determines
in its sole discretion that no suitable Reference Banks active in
the USD/INR currency or foreign exchange markets will provide
quotes, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to calculate
the Reference Rate acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner,
having taken into account relevant market practice, by reference to
such additional sources as it deems appropriate; and in such case
the Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer and the Global Agent
as soon as reasonably practicable that the Reference Rate is to be so
determined.

for Unscheduled Holiday" means that in the event any
Scheduled Rate Fixing Date is postponed due to the occurrence of an
Unscheduled Holiday, and if the Rate Fixing Date in respect thereof
has not occurred on or before the 14th calendar day after the
Scheduled Rate Fixing Date (any such period being a "Deferral Period"), then the next day after the Deferral
Period that would have been a Fixing Business Day but for the
Unscheduled Holiday, shall be deemed to be the Rate Fixing
Date.
"Reference
Banks" means leading dealers, banks or banking corporations
which regularly deal in the INR/USD exchange market, as selected by
the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, acting in good faith
and in a commercially reasonable manner.
