Related to Initial S&P Ratings Event
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).

Ratings Downgrade For purposes of each Transaction:
Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status If on any date following the Issue Date, the Notes have achieved Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (a “Suspension Event”), then the Company shall notify the Trustee of this fact and beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date, the following provisions of this Indenture will not apply to such Notes: Sections 4.05, 4.06, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 5.01(a)(3) and, in each case, any related default provision of this Indenture will cease to be effective and will not be applicable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Such Sections and any related default provisions will again apply according to their terms from the first day on which a Suspension Event ceases to be in effect. Such Sections will not, however, be of any effect with regard to actions of the Company properly taken during the continuance of the Suspension Event, and Section 4.06 will be interpreted as if it has been in effect since the date of this Indenture except that no default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while Section 4.06 was suspended. On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the continuance of the Suspension Event will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.05(b)(4)(b). In addition, so long as each of Xxxxx’x and S&P (or another Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization which has provided a rating used to achieve Investment Grade Status) has been notified in advance that such Investment Grade Status will result in such release as set forth in Section 10.02(c)(5), all Liens securing the Notes will be released and all Note Guarantees will be released and terminated upon achievement of an Investment Grade rating, as shall any future obligation to grant further security or Note Guarantees. All such Liens, Note Guarantees and such further obligation to grant Guarantees and security, shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date.
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.

Second Rating Trigger Replacement If (A) a Required Ratings Downgrade Event has occurred and been continuing for 30 or more Local Business Days and (B) (i) at least one Eligible Replacement has made a Firm Offer to be the transferee of all of Party A’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (and such Firm Offer remains an offer that will become legally binding upon such Eligible Replacement upon acceptance by the offeree) and/or (ii) an Eligible Guarantor has made a Firm Offer to provide an Eligible Guarantee (and such Firm Offer remains an offer that will become legally binding upon such Eligible Guarantor immediately upon acceptance by the offeree), 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.
Termination Event; Notice The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Purchase Contract Payments (including any deferred or accrued and unpaid Purchase Contract Payments), if the Company shall have such obligation, and the rights and obligations of Holders to purchase Common Stock, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred.
Transfer to Avoid Termination Event If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist. If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i). Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.
