Cash Collateralization If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or if the Revolving L/C Exposure is otherwise required to be cash collateralized pursuant to this Agreement, on the Business Day following the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to 103% (or, with respect to Alternate Currency Letters of Credit not cash collateralized in the Alternate Currency, 115%) of the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 8.01, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Such deposits shall not bear interest. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after no Event of Default is continuing.
Ratings Event (i) If the short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A's Credit Support Provider cease to be rated at least as high as "A-1+" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Companies, Inc. ("S&P") and, as a result of such cessation, the then current rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes is downgraded or placed under review for possible downgrade by S&P (an "INITIAL S&P RATING EVENT"), then Party A will, within 30 days of the occurrence of such Initial S&P Rating Event, at its own cost either:
(A) put in place an appropriate ▇▇▇▇-to-market collateral agreement (which may be based on the credit support documentation published by ISDA, or otherwise, and relates to collateral in the form of cash or securities or both) in support of its obligations under this Agreement on terms satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if S&P confirms that the provision of such collateral would maintain the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes by S&P at, or restore the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes by S&P to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event) provided that (x) Party A will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of S&P if the amount of collateral agreed to be provided in the form of cash and/or securities (the "COLLATERAL AMOUNT") is determined on a basis which satisfies (but is no more onerous than) the criteria of S&P published on 17th December, 2003, as amended and supplemented from time to time, which enables entities rated lower than a specified level to participate in structured finance transactions which, through collateralisation are rated at a higher level (the "S&P CRITERIA") and (y) the Collateral Amount will not be required to exceed such amount as would be required (in accordance with the S&P Criteria) to maintain or restore the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes at or to the level they would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event;
(B) transfer all of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement to a replacement third party satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if S&P confirms that such transfer would maintain the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes by S&P at, or restore the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes by S&P to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event);
(C) obtain a guarantee of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement from a third party satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if S&P confirms that such guarantee would maintain the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes at, or restore the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event); or
(D) take such other action as Party A may agree with S&P as will result in the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes following the taking of such action being maintained at, or restored to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event. If any of paragraphs (i)(B), (i)(C) or (i)(D) above are satisfied at any time, all collateral (or the equivalent thereof, as appropriate) transferred by Party A pursuant to paragraph (i)(A) above will be transferred to Party A and Party A will not be required to transfer any additional collateral.
(ii) If the short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A's Credit Support Provider cease to be rated at least as high as "A-3" by S&P and, as a result of such downgrade, the then current rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes may in the reasonable opinion of S&P be downgraded or placed under review for possible downgrade (such event, a "SUBSEQUENT S&P RATING EVENT"), then Party A will, within 30 days of the occurrence of such Subsequent S&P Rating Event, at its own cost either:
(A) transfer all of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement to a replacement third party satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if S&P confirms that such transfer would maintain the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes by S&P at, or restore the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes by S&P to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Subsequent S&P Rating Event);
(B) take such other action as Party A may agree with S&P as will result in the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes following the taking of such action being maintained at, or restored to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Subsequent S&P Rating Event; or
(C) obtain a guarantee of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement from a third party satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if S&P confirms that such guarantee would maintain the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes at, or restore the rating of the Series 1 Class [A/B/C] Seventh Issuer Notes to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Subsequent S&P Rating Event), and, if, at the time a Subsequent S&P Rating Event occurs, Party A has provided collateral pursuant to a ▇▇▇▇-to-market collateral arrangement put in place pursuant to paragraph (i)(A) above following an Initial S&P Rating Event, it will continue to post collateral notwithstanding the occurrence of a Subsequent S&P Rating Event until such time as any of paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C) above have been satisfied. If any of paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C) above are satisfied at any time, all collateral (or the equivalent thereof, as appropriate) transferred by Party A pursuant to paragraph (i)(A) above will be transferred to Party A and Party A will not be required to transfer any additional collateral.
(iii) If:
(A) the long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A's Credit Support Provider cease to be rated at least as high as "A1" (or its equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇; or
(B) the short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A's Credit Support Provider cease to be rated at least as high as "Prime-1" (or its equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, (such cessation being an "INITIAL ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ RATING EVENT"), then Party A will, within 30 days of the occurrence of such Initial ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Rating Event, at its own cost either:
(1) transfer all of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement to either (x) a replacement third party with the Required Ratings (as defined below) domiciled in the same legal jurisdiction as Party A or Party B, or (y) a replacement third party as Party A may agree with ▇▇▇▇▇'▇;
(2) procure another person to become co-obligor or guarantor in respect of the obligations of Party A under this Agreement, which co-obligor or guarantor may be either (x) a person with the Required Ratings (as defined below) domiciled in the same legal jurisdiction as Party A or Party B, or (y) such other person as Party A may agree with ▇▇▇▇▇'▇;
(3) take such other action as Party A may agree with ▇▇▇▇▇'▇; or
(4) put in place a ▇▇▇▇-to-market collateral agreement in a form and substance acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ (which may be based on the credit support documentation published by ISDA, or otherwise, and relates to collateral in the form of cash or securities or both) in support of its obligations under this Agreement which complies with the ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Criteria (as defined below) or such other criteria relating to the amount of collateral as may be agreed with ▇▇▇▇▇'▇. If any of paragraphs (iii)(1), (iii)(2) or (iii)(3) above are satisfied at any time, all collateral (or the equivalent thereof, as appropriate) transferred by Party A pursuant to paragraph (iii)(4) above will be transferred to Party A and Party A will not be required to transfer any additional collateral.
(iv) If:
(A) the long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A's Credit Support Provider cease to be rated as high as "A3" (or its equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇; or
(B) the short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A's Credit Support Provider cease to be rated as high as "Prime-2" (or its equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, (such cessation being a "SUBSEQUENT ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ RATING EVENT"), then Party A will:
(1) on a reasonable efforts basis, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such Subsequent ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Rating Event, at its own cost, either:
Mandatory Prepayments due to Borrowing Base Deficiency In the event that the amount of total Credit Exposure exceeds the total Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay Loans (and, to the extent necessary, provide cover for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.04(k)) in such amounts as shall be necessary so that the amount of total Credit Exposure does not exceed the total Commitments. In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, promptly (but in no event later than 5 Business Days), the Borrower shall either prepay (x) the Loans (and, to the extent necessary, provide cover for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.04(k)) so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is promptly cured or (y) the Loans and the Other Covered Indebtedness that is Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is promptly cured (and, as among the Loans (and Letters of Credit) and the Other Covered Indebtedness that is Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness, at least ratably (based on the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness) as to payments of Loans in relation to Other Covered Indebtedness); provided, that if within such 5 Business Day period, the Borrower shall present to the Administrative Agent a reasonably feasible plan, which plan is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will enable any such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days of the occurrence of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the 5 Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall be effected in accordance with such plan (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations as to the allocation of such prepayments set forth above in this Section 2.09(b)); provided further, that to the extent such Borrowing Base Deficiency is a result of the failure of the Borrowing Base to include the minimum Senior Investments required pursuant to Section 5.13(e) because of a change in either (i) the ratio of the Gross Borrowing Base to the Senior Debt Amount or (ii) the Relevant Asset Coverage Ratio, such 30-Business Day period shall be extended by an additional 15 Business Days solely with respect to compliance with Section 5.13(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest in accordance with Section 2.11(c) for so long as the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base during such 30-Business Day period. For clarity, in the event that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is not cured prior to the end of such 5-Business Day period (or, if applicable, such 30-Business Day period), it shall constitute an Event of Default under clause (a) of Article VII.
