Ratings Downgrade For purposes of each Transaction:
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).

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 Issuer shall notify the Trustee of these events and beginning on that day and continuing until such time, if any, at which the Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status (the “Reversion Date”), the following sections will not apply to the Notes: Section 4.04, Section 4.05, Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.21, Section 4.24 and Section 5.03(a)(3) and any related default provision of this Indenture will cease to be effective and will not be applicable to the Issuer and the 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 Issuer properly taken during the continuance of the Suspension Event, and Section 4.05 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 4.05 was suspended. On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the continuance of the Suspension Event will be classified, at the Issuer’s option, as having been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Event and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred under Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.04(b)(4)(a). The Issuer shall give the Trustee written notice of any Suspension Event and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such Suspension Event has occurred. The Issuer shall give the Trustee written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than five (5) Business Days after such Reversion Date. Absent such written notice the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no Suspension Event or the occurrence of any Reversion Date has occurred.

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.
Trigger Events The Employee shall be entitled to collect the severance benefits set forth in Subsection (b) hereof in the event that either (i) the Employee voluntarily terminates employment for any reason within the 30-day period beginning on the date of a Change in Control, (ii) the Employee voluntarily terminates employment within 90 days of an event that both occurs during the Protected Period and constitutes Good Reason, or (iii) the Bank or the Company or their successor(s) in interest terminate the Employee's employment without his written consent and for any reason other than Just Cause during the Protected Period.

(“S&P”) or (ii) if Party A does not have a short-term rating from S&P, the unsecured, long-term senior debt obligations of Party A are rated below “A+” by S&P, or (D) the unsecured, long-term senior debt obligations or financial strength ratings of Party A are rated below “A” by Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Collateralization Event, this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder shall continue to be as a Swap Agreement for purposes of the Trust Agreement. Within 30 days from the date a Collateralization Event has occurred and so long as such Collateralization Event is continuing, Party A shall, at its sole expense, either (i) post collateral according to the terms of an ISDA 1994 New York Law Credit Support Annex, which shall receive prior written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (as defined in the Trust Agreement) that their then-current ratings of the Offered Certificates will not be downgraded or withdrawn by such Rating Agency (the “Rating Agency Condition”), or (ii) obtain a substitute counterparty that (a) is reasonably acceptable to Party B and satisfies the Rating Agency Condition, (b) satisfies the Hedge Counterparty Ratings Requirement (as defined herein) and (c) assumes the obligations of Party A under this Agreement (through an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Party B) or replaces the outstanding Transactions hereunder with transactions on identical terms, except that Party A shall be replaced as counterparty, provided that such substitute counterparty, as of the date of such assumption or replacement, will not, as a result thereof, be required to withhold or deduct on account of tax under the Agreement or the new transactions, as applicable, and such assumption or replacement will not lead to a termination event or event of default occurring under the Agreement or new transactions, as applicable.
