Substitute Rating Agency definition
Examples of Substitute Rating Agency in a sentence
Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a Rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments.
No adjustments in the interest rate payable on the Notes shall be made solely as a result of any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) ceasing to provide a Rating of the Notes.
In addition, the interest rate payable on the Notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the Ratings by any or all rating agencies) if the Notes become rated Baa1, BBB+ and BBB+ (or the equivalent of any such Rating, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher by any two of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, S&P and Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor).
If ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) changes its Rating of the Notes more than once during any particular interest period, the last change by such agency during such interest period will control for purposes of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to the Notes described above relating to such rating agency’s action.
If all of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) cease to provide a Rating, and no Substitute Rating Agency has provided a Rating, the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.000% above the interest rate set forth in Section 103.
