For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if the Corporate Credit Ratings established or deemed to have been established by the Selected Rating Agencies shall fall within different “Levels”, the lower rating will apply; (ii) if only one of the Selected Rating Agencies maintains Corporate Credit Ratings, then the rating of such single rating agency will apply; and (iii) if the rating system of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch shall change, or if Moody’s, S&P or Fitch shall cease to be in the business of providing Corporate Credit Ratings, Borrower and Lender shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Corporate Credit Ratings shall be determined by reference to the Corporate Credit Ratings most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
