Ratings Downgrade For purposes of each Transaction:
Rating Agency Downgrade In the event that DBAG’s short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below “A-1” by S&P or, if DBAG has both a long-term credit rating and a short-term credit rating from Moody’s, and either its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “A2” by Moody’s or its short-term credit rating is withdrawn or reduced below “P-1” by Moody’s (and together with S&P, the “Swap Rating Agencies”, and such rating thresholds, “Approved Rating Thresholds”), then within 30 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade, DBAG shall, subject to the Rating Agency Condition and at its own expense, either (i) cause another entity to replace DBAG as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, DBAG’s obligations under this Agreement, (iii) post collateral which will be sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates and any Notes, or (iv) establish any other arrangement which will be sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates and any Notes. In the event that DBAG’s long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below “BBB-” or its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below “A-3” or is withdrawn by S&P or DBAG’s long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “A3” by Moody’s or its short-term credit rating is reduced below “P-2” by Moody’s, then within 10 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade, DBAG shall, subject to the Rating Agency Condition and at its own expense, either (i) cause another entity to replace DBAG as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement or (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds to honor, DBAG’s obligations under this Agreement. In either case, DBAG shall deliver collateral acceptable to the Swap Rating Agencies until DBAG has made such transfer or obtained a guaranty as set forth in (i) and (ii) above. For purposes of this provision, “Rating Agency Condition” means, with respect to any particular proposed act or omission to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must consult with each of the Swap Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and any Notes and receive from each of the Swap Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Certificates or any Note.
No Downgrade Subsequent to the earlier of (A) the Applicable Time and (B) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, if there are any debt securities or preferred stock of, or guaranteed by, the Company or any of its subsidiaries that are rated by a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded any such debt securities or preferred stock and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has changed its outlook with respect to, its rating of any such debt securities or preferred stock (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading).
Cooperation with Rating Agencies If the ratings provided with respect to the Publicly Registered Notes by the rating agency or agencies that initially rate the Publicly Registered Notes are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Depositor, to furnish such documents and take any such other actions.
Rating Agency Each of Xxxxx’x, Fitch and S&P or their successors. If such agencies or their successors are no longer in existence, “Rating Agencies” shall be such nationally recognized statistical rating agencies, or other comparable person, agreed upon and designated by the Seller, notice of which designation shall be given to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Servicer.
Ratings Event Upon the occurrence of a Ratings Event (as defined below) Party A has not, within 10 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade (unless, within 10 days after such withdrawal or downgrade, each such Swap Rating Agency has reconfirmed the rating of the Swap Certificates which was in effect immediately prior to such withdrawal or downgrade (determined without regard to any financial guaranty insurance policy, if applicable), unless the rating of the Swap Certificates were changed due to a circumstance other than the withdrawal or downgrading of Party A's (or its Credit Support Provider's) rating), complied with one of the solutions listed below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event. It shall be a ratings event ("Ratings Event") if at any time after the date hereof Party A shall fail to satisfy the Swap Counterparty Ratings Threshold. Swap Counterparty Ratings Threshold shall mean that both (A) the unsecured, long-term senior debt obligations of Party A (or its Credit Support Provider) are rated at least "BBB-" by S&P, and (B) either (i) the unsecured, long-term senior debt obligations of Party A (or its Credit Support Provider) are rated at least "A2" by Moody's (including if such rating is on watch for possible downgrade) and the unsecured, short-term debt obligations of Party A (or its Credit Support Provider) are rated at least "P-1" by Moody's (including if such rating is on watch for possible downgrade) or (ii) if Party A (or its Credit Support Provider) does not have a short-term rating from Moody's, the unsecured, long-term senior debt obligations of Party A (or its Credit Support Provider) are rated at least "A1" by Moody's (including if such rating is on watch for possible downgrade).
Rating Agencies To the extent, if any, that the ratings provided with respect to the Offered Certificates by certain nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (as described in Section 6(q)) are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other action by the Depositor, the Depositor shall use its best efforts to furnish such documents and take any other such action.

Downgrade Drawings (i) Each Liquidity Provider will promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days of the occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to it (the date of such occurrence, the “Downgrade Date”), deliver notice to the Subordination Agent and American of the occurrence of such Downgrade Event and the Downgrade Date therefor. After the occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to any Liquidity Provider, each Liquidity Facility provided by such Liquidity Provider shall become a “Downgraded Facility” on the thirty-fifth (35th) day after the related Downgrade Date, unless, not later than such thirty-fifth (35th) day (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), the Rating Agency whose downgrading of such Liquidity Provider resulted in such Downgrade Event shall have provided a written confirmation to the effect that the occurrence of such Downgrade Event will not result in the downgrading, withdrawal or suspension of the ratings then issued by such Rating Agency of the related Class of Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event, such Liquidity Provider notifies the Subordination Agent in writing that no such confirmation will be provided by such Rating Agency, each Liquidity Facility provided by such Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility as of the date of such notice to the Subordination Agent.
Rating Agency Confirmation (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan Documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation or a written confirmation from a Rating Agency that any action thereunder or hereunder will not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings on the Certificates as a condition precedent to such action, and if the party (the “Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation has (i) made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and (ii) within 10 Business Days of such request being posted on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) such Requesting Party shall be required to promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again, and (y) if there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation request within 5 Business Days of such second request, then (1) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan Document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, the requirement to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation shall be considered not to apply with respect to such Rating Agency for such action at such time (as if such requirement did not exist for such matter at such time), other than such a requirement with respect to the replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, and (2) with respect to replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply if, in the event Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency, the replacement servicer has a commercial master servicer rating of at least “CMS3” from Fitch or the replacement special servicer has a commercial special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch, as applicable. Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (which may be in electronic form), which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, reasonably deems necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided (in electronic format reasonably acceptable to the 17g-5 Information Provider) to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b). 146 Promptly following the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.27 following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being considered satisfied, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b).
