Rating of Notes The Notes shall have been given a rating of not less than AAA by Fitch prior to the date of issuance thereof.
Outstanding Notes The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.
Issuance of the Bonds The Authority shall issue the Bonds under and in accordance with the Indenture, subject to the provisions of the bond purchase agreement among the Authority, the initial purchaser or purchasers of the Bonds and the Company. The Company hereby approves the issuance of the Bonds and all terms and conditions thereof.
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and a short-term credit rating from Moody’s, and either its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “A2” by Moody’s or its short-term credit rating is withdrawn or reduced below “P-1” by Moody’s (and together with S&P, the “Swap Rating Agencies”, and such rating thresholds, “Approved Rating Thresholds”), then within 30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.

The Bonds Each Class of Bonds shall be registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository. Beneficial Owners will hold interests in the Bonds through the book- entry facilities of the Depository in minimum initial Bond Principal Balances of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Indenture Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Bonds) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Bonds for the purposes of exercising the rights of Holders of the Bonds hereunder. Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to the Bonds shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depository and Depository Participants. Except as provided in Section 4.08 hereof, Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive certificates for the Bonds as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Bonds shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. The Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Bondholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date. Without the consent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, no Bond may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Bond for the account of the Beneficxxx Owners.
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.
