Rating Agency Confirmation definition
Rating Agency Confirmation means, with respect to any Securitization, a confirmation in writing (which may be in electronic form) by each of the applicable Rating Agencies for such Securitization that the occurrence of the event with respect to which such Rating Agency Confirmation is sought shall not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the applicable rating or ratings ascribed by such Rating Agency to any of the securities issued pursuant to such Securitization that are then outstanding. If no such securities are outstanding with respect to any Securitization, any action that would otherwise require a Rating Agency Confirmation shall instead require the consent of the Controlling Note Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the purposes of this Agreement, if any Rating Agency shall waive, decline or refuse to review or otherwise engage any request for Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder, such waiver, declination, or refusal shall be deemed to eliminate, for such request only, the condition that a Rating Agency Confirmation by such Rating Agency (only) be obtained for purposes of this Agreement, and any requirement hereunder to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency may be satisfied or deemed in the same manner that a Rating Agency Confirmation requirement may be satisfied or deemed satisfied under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. For purposes of clarity, any such waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any subsequent request for a Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder and the condition for Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to this Agreement for any subsequent request shall apply regardless of any previous waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in such prior request.
Rating Agency Confirmation means (i) prior to a Securitization, with respect to any matter that each applicable Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing (which may be in electronic form) that a proposed action, failure to act or other event so specified will not, in and of itself, result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings assigned by such Rating Agency to any securities issued in connection with any Securitization; provided, however, that a written waiver or other acknowledgment or course of conduct from the Rating Agency indicating its decision not to review the matter for which the Rating Agency Confirmation is sought shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement for the Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such matter, and (ii) after a Securitization, the meaning given thereto or to any analogous term in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement including any deemed Rating Agency Confirmation.
Rating Agency Confirmation means, after a Securitization, the meaning given thereto or any analogous term in the Servicing Agreement including any deemed Rating Agency Confirmation.
