State Street Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (herein called the Company, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000) on April 30, 2012 and to pay interest thereon from April 30, 2007 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on April 30, July 30, October 30 and December 30 in each year, commencing July 30, 2007 at the rate of Three-Month LIBOR plus 0.10% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whole name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be April 15, July 15, October 15 or December 15, whether or not a Business Day, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Interest Period means the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the next day preceding that Interest Payment Date.
Three-Month LIBOR means, with respect to any Interest Period, the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first day
of that Interest Period that appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date for that Interest Period. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, Three-Month LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company), at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date for that Interest Period. 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, Three-Month LIBOR with respect to that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR with respect to that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first day of that Interest Period, as applicable, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000. However, if fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent to provide quotations are quoting as described above, Three-Month LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the same as Three-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous Interest Period. The establishment of Three-Month LIBOR for each Interest Period by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding.
Calculation Agent means U.S. Bank National Association, or any other firm appointed by the Company, acting as calculation agent.
LIBOR Determination Date means the second London banking day immediately preceding the first day of the Interest Period.
Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page means the display designated on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or such other page as may replace Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page on the service or such other service as may be nominated by the British Bankers Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. Dollar deposits).
The amount of interest for each day this Security is outstanding, or the Daily Interest Amount, will be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect for that day by 360 and multiplying the result by the principal amount of this Security. The amount of interest to be paid on this Security for each Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period.
If any Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, other than the Interest Payment Date that is also the date of maturity for this Security, that Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the following day that is a Business Day, except that if such next Business Day is in a different month, then that Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. If the date of maturity for this Security is not a Business Day, payment of principal and interest on this Security will be made on the following day that is a Business Day and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such date of maturity. Business Day means any London Business Day other than any Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York, New York and Boston, Massachusetts are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.
