Ratings Decline Period means the period that (i) begins on the earlier of (a) the date of the first public announcement of the occurrence of a Change of Control and (b) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) ends 90 days following consummation of such Change of Control; provided that such period shall be extended for so long as the rating of the Notes, as noted by the applicable Rating Agency, is under publicly announced consideration for downgrade by the applicable Rating Agency.
Pricing Level refers to the determination of which of Level I, Level II, Level III, Level IV, Level V or Level VI applies at any date.
Pricing Level I shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00.
Latest Level means, in respect of an Inflation Index, the latest level of such Inflation Index (excluding any "flash" estimates) published or announced by the relevant Inflation Index Sponsor prior to the month in respect of which the Substitute Index Level is being determined.
Pricing Level IV means any time when (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Senior Debt Rating is BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s and (iii) Pricing Levels I, II and III do not apply.
Applicable Rating Level at any time shall be determined in accordance with the then-applicable S&P Rating or the then-applicable Xxxxx’x Rating as follows: S&P Rating/Xxxxx’x Rating Applicable Rating Level S&P Rating AA or higher or Xxxxx’x Rating Aa2 or higher 1 S&P Rating AA- or Xxxxx’x Rating Aa3 2 S&P Rating A+ or Xxxxx’x Rating A1 3 S&P Rating A or Xxxxx’x Rating A2 4 S&P Rating A- or below or Xxxxx’x Rating A3 or below or unrated 5 The Applicable Rating Level for any day shall be determined based upon the higher of the S&P Rating and the Xxxxx’x Rating 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 (better) of such ratings shall control, unless the ratings differ by more than one level, in which case the rating one level below the higher of the two ratings shall control.
Pricing Level III shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is less than 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00.

Highest-level owner means the entity that owns or controls an immediate owner of the offeror, or that owns or controls one or more entities that control an immediate owner of the offeror. No entity owns or exercises control of the highest level owner.
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.
Portfolio Yield means, with respect to any Monthly Period, the annualized percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is (a) the amount of Available Funds allocated to the MBNAseries pursuant to Section 501 of the Indenture, plus (b) any Interest Funding sub-Account Earnings on the related Transfer Date, plus (c) any amounts to be treated as MBNAseries Available Funds pursuant to Sections 3.20(d) and 3.27(a) of the Indenture Supplement, plus (d) the MBNAseries Servicer Interchange for such Monthly Period, minus (e) the excess, if any, of the sum of the PFA Prefunding Earnings Shortfall plus the PFA Accumulation Earnings Shortfall over the sum of the aggregate amount to be treated as MBNAseries Available Funds for such Monthly Period pursuant to Sections 3.04(a)(ii) and 3.25(a) of the Indenture Supplement plus any other amounts applied to cover earnings shortfalls on amounts in the Principal Funding sub-Account for any tranche of MBNAseries Notes for such Monthly Period, minus (f) the MBNAseries Investor Default Amount for such Monthly Period, and the denominator of which is the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the MBNAseries for such Monthly Period.
Public Debt Rating means, as of any date, the rating that has been most recently announced by either S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, for any class of non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt issued by the Borrower or, if any such rating agency shall have issued more than one such rating, the lowest such rating issued by such rating agency. For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if only one of S&P and Moody’s shall have in effect a Public Debt Rating, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Percentage shall be determined by reference to the available rating; (b) if neither S&P nor Moody’s shall have in effect a Public Debt Rating, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Percentage will be set in accordance with Level 5 under the definition of “Applicable Margin” or “Applicable Percentage”, as the case may be; (c) if the ratings established by S&P and Moody’s shall fall within different levels, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Percentage shall be based upon the higher rating unless such ratings differ by two or more levels, in which case the applicable level will be deemed to be one level below the higher of such levels; (d) if any rating established by S&P or Moody’s shall be changed, such change shall be effective as of the date on which such change is first announced publicly by the rating agency making such change; and (e) if S&P or Moody’s shall change the basis on which ratings are established, each reference to the Public Debt Rating announced by S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, shall refer to the then equivalent rating by S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be.
Reference Value means the last reported sales price of the shares of Common Stock for any twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as provided in clause (ii) below, the Moody’s Discount Factor for short-term Municipal Obligations will be 115%, so long as such Municipal Obligations are rated at least MIG-1, VMIG-l or P-1 by Moody’s and mature or have a demand feature at par exercisable in 30 days or less, or 125%, as long as such Municipal Obligations are rated at least A-1+/AA or SP-1+/AA by S&P and mature or have a demand feature at par exercisable in 30 days or less, (ii) the Moody’s Discount Factor for residual interest municipal bonds and structured notes shall be the product of (x) the percentage determined by reference to the rating on the security underlying such residual interest municipal bond multiplied by (y) 1.25 (provided that the trust in which such residual interest municipal bond is held may be terminated within five business days), and (iii) except as provided in clause (ii) above, no Moody’s Discount Factor will be applied to cash, Receivables for Municipal Obligations Sold, or futures, options and similar instruments (to the extent such securities are Moody’s Eligible Assets); provided, however, that for purposes of determining the Moody’s Discount Factor applicable to a Municipal Obligation, any Municipal Obligation (excluding any short-term Municipal Obligation) not rated by Moody’s but rated by S&P shall be deemed to have a Mxxxx’x rating which is one full rating category lower than its S&P rating.
Gross vehicle weight rating means the weight specified by the manufacturer as the loaded weight of a single vehicle.
Rating Category means (i) with respect to S&P, any of the following categories: BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or equivalent successor categories), (ii) with respect to Moody's, any of the following categories: Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C and D (or equivalent successor categories) and (iii) the equivalent of any such category of S&P or Moody's used by another Rating Agency. In determining whether the rating of the Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and - for S&P; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody's; or the equivalent gradations for another Rating Agency) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from BB to BB-, as well as from BB-to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation).
Specified Rating means, for the Class A(2017-2) Notes, Aaa(sf) with respect to Xxxxx’x, AAA(sf) with respect to Standard & Poor’s and AAAsf with respect to Fitch.
Secured Net Leverage Ratio means, on any date, the ratio of (a) Consolidated Secured Net Debt as of such date to (b) Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period as of such date.
Required Ratings Downgrade Event means that no Relevant Entity has credit ratings at least equal to the Required Ratings Threshold.
Applicable Pricing Level means, for each Pricing Period the pricing level set forth below opposite the Debt Rating achieved by Borrower as of the first day of that Pricing Period: Pricing Level Debt Rating I Greater than or equal to A1 / A+ II Less than A1 / A+ but greater than or equal to A2 / A III Less than A2 / A but greater than or equal to A3 / A- V Less than Baa2/BBB provided that in the event that the then prevailing Debt Ratings are “split ratings”, Borrower will receive the benefit of the higher Debt Rating, unless the split is a “double split rating” (in which case the pricing level applicable to the middle Debt Rating will apply) or a “triple split rating” (in which case the pricing level applicable to the Debt Rating above the Debt Rating applicable to the lowest pricing level will apply). For purposes hereof, a Debt Rating is only a “split rating” if the Debt Rating applies to a different pricing level.
