Ratings. At the Closing Time, the Securities shall have the ratings accorded by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations), and the Company shall have delivered to the Representatives a letter, dated as of such date, from each such rating organization, or other evidence satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that the Securities have such ratings. Since the date hereof, there shall not have occurred a downgrading in, or withdrawal of, the rating assigned to the Securities or any of the Company’s other securities by any such rating organization, and no such rating organization shall have publicly announced, or provided notice that, it has under surveillance or review its rating of the Securities or any of the Company’s other securities.
Ratings. No “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) (i) has imposed (or has informed the Company that it is considering imposing) any condition (financial or otherwise) on the Company’s retaining any rating assigned to the Company or any securities of the Company or (ii) has indicated to the Company that it is considering any of the actions described in Section 7(c)(ii) hereof.
Ratings. At any time when the Initial Lender is a Lender, the Borrower shall, upon request by the Initial Lender, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a public rating in respect of the Loans by any two of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Fitch in connection with any contemplated assignment of, or participation in, the Loans.
Ratings. A rating, whether public or private, by S&P or Xxxxx’x shall be deemed to be in effect on the date of announcement or publication by S&P or Xxxxx’x, as the case may be, of such rating or, in the absence of such announcement or publication, on the effective date of such rating and will remain in effect until the announcement or publication of, or (in the absence of such announcement or publication) the effective date of, any change in such rating. In the event the standards for any rating by Xxxxx’x or S&P are revised, or such rating is designated differently (such as by changing letter designations to numerical designations), then the references herein to such rating shall be deemed to refer to the revised or redesignated rating for which the standards are closest to, but not lower than, the standards at the date hereof for the rating which has been revised or redesignated, all as determined by the Required Banks in good faith. Long-term debt supported by a letter of credit, guarantee or other similar credit enhancement mechanism shall not be considered as senior unsecured long-term debt. If either Xxxxx’x or S&P has at any time more than one rating applicable to senior unsecured long-term debt of any Person, the lowest such rating shall be applicable for purposes hereof. For example, if Xxxxx’x rates some senior unsecured long-term debt of any Person Baa1 and other such debt of such Person Baa2, the senior unsecured long-term debt of such Person shall be deemed to be rated Baa2 by Xxxxx’x.
Ratings. At Closing Time, the Securities shall be rated at least BBB- by Standard & Poor’s and BBB by Fitch and since the execution of this Agreement, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any debt or preferred stock of the Company or any Subsidiary by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the 1934 Act), or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, and no such organization shall have publicly announced it has under surveillance or review any such rating.
Ratings. Since January 1, 2013, no “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act has imposed (or has informed the Company that it is considering imposing) any condition (financial or otherwise) on the Company’s retaining any rating assigned to the Company or any subsidiary, any securities of the Company or any subsidiary or has indicated to the Company that it is considering the downgrading, suspension, or withdrawal of, or any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change in, any rating so assigned or any change in the outlook for any rating of the Company or any subsidiary or any securities of the Company or any subsidiary.
Ratings. Use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain at all times on and after the Closing Date (i) a public corporate family rating of the Borrower and a rating of the Loans, in each case from Xxxxx’x, and (ii) a public corporate credit rating of the Borrower and a rating of the Loans, in each case from S&P (it being understood and agreed that “commercially reasonable efforts” shall in any event include the payment by the Borrower of customary rating agency fees, cooperation with information and data requests by Xxxxx’x and S&P in connection with their ratings process and the participation by senior management of the Borrower in a ratings presentation to Xxxxx’x and S&P).
Ratings. The Issuer undertakes promptly to notify the Dealers of any change in the ratings given by Moody’s and/or Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. of the Issuer’s debt or upon it becoming aware that such ratings are listed on “Creditwatch” or other similar publication of formal review by the relevant rating agency.
Ratings. Each of Holdings and the Parent Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (a) the Parent Borrower to continuously have a public corporate credit rating from each of S&P and Xxxxx’x (but not to maintain a specific rating) and (b) the credit facilities made available under this Agreement to be continuously rated by each of S&P and Xxxxx’x (but not to maintain a specific rating).
Ratings. The Fund will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Preferred Shares, prior to the Closing Time to be assigned a rating of ‘Aaa’ by Xxxxx’x, ‘AAA’ by S&P and ‘AAA’ by Fitch.
