More Definitions of Index Debt Rating

Index Debt Rating means, as of any date, the rating that has been most recently announced by S&P and Moody’s for the Index Debt of the Borrower. For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating for the Index Debt in the lowest level in the Pricing Schedule; (ii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different levels set forth in the Pricing Schedule, the Applicable Margin shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless the ratings differ by more than one level, in which case the governing rating shall be the rating next below the higher of the two; and (iii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Agent shall negotiate in good faith the terms of an amendment to this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the non-availability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
