For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a corporate family or corporate rating, as applicable, for the Primary Borrower (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 1; (ii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Primary Borrower shall fall within different Categories, the Applicable Margin shall be based on the lower of the two ratings; and (iii) if the rating established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s or S&P for the Primary Borrower shall be changed, such change shall be effective as of the date on which such change is first announced by the applicable rating agency.  Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change.  If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate obligors, the Primary Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
