Applicable Rating Level at any time and for any Borrower shall be determined in accordance with the then-applicable S&P Rating and the then-applicable Xxxxx’x Rating for such Borrower as follows: S&P Rating/Xxxxx’x Rating Applicable Rating Level S&P Rating A or higher or Xxxxx’x Rating A2 or higher 1 S&P Rating A- or higher or Xxxxx’x Rating A3 or higher 2 S&P Rating BBB+ or Xxxxx’x Rating Baa1 3 S&P Rating BBB or Xxxxx’x Rating Baa2 4 S&P Rating BBB- or Xxxxx’x Rating Baa3 5 S&P Rating BB+ or below or Xxxxx’x Rating Ba1 or below, or no S&P Rating or Xxxxx’x Rating 6 The Applicable Rating Level for any Borrower and for any day shall be determined based upon the higher of the S&P Rating and the Xxxxx’x Rating for such Borrower in effect on such day. If the S&P Rating and the Xxxxx’x Rating are not the same (i.e., a “split rating”), the higher of such ratings shall control, unless (i) the ratings differ by more than one level, in which case the rating one level below the higher of the two ratings shall control, or (ii) either rating is below BBB- or Baa3 (as applicable), in which case the lower of the two ratings shall control.

Mxxxx’x Rating means, with respect to a Reference Obligation, as of any date of determination:
Highest Rating Category means, with respect to a Permitted Investment, that the Permitted Investment is rated by S&P or Moody’s in the highest rating category given by that rating agency for that general category of security. By way of example, the Highest Rating Category for tax exempt municipal debt established by S&P is “A 1+” for debt with a term of one year or less and “AAA” for a term greater than one year, with corresponding ratings by Moody’s of “MIG 1” (for fixed rate) or “VMIG 1” (for variable rate) for three months or less and “Aaa” for greater than three months. If at any time (i) both S&P and Moody’s rate a Permitted Investment and (ii) one of those ratings is below the Highest Rating Category, then such Permitted Investment will, nevertheless, be deemed to be rated in the Highest Rating Category if the lower rating is no more than one rating category below the highest rating category of that rating agency. For example, a Permitted Investment rated “AAA” by S&P and “Aa3” by Moody’s is rated in the Highest Rating Category. If, however, the lower rating is more than one full rating category below the Highest Rating Category of that Rating Agency, then the Permitted Investment will be deemed to be rated below the Highest Rating Category. For example, a Permitted Investment rated “AAA” by S&P and “A1” by Moody’s is not rated in the Highest Rating Category.
