obligations under Section 8.05, shall survive such assignment as to matters
occurring prior to the date of assignment.
(c) Non-Ratable Reduction. (i) The Company shall have the right, at
any time other than during any Rating Condition, upon at least ten Business
Days' notice to a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), to terminate in whole such
Lender's Commitment (determined without giving effect to any Competitive Bid
Reduction). Such termination shall be effective, (i) with respect to such
Lender's unused Commitment, on the date set forth in such notice, provided,
however, that such date shall be no earlier than ten Business Days after receipt
of such notice and (ii) with respect to each Advance outstanding to such Lender,
on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating to such Advance;
provided further, however, that such termination shall not be effective, if,
after giving effect to such termination, the Company would, under this Section
2.05(c), reduce the Lenders' Commitments in any calendar year by an amount in
excess of the Commitments of any three Lenders or $480,000,000, whichever is
greater on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the preceding proviso,
the Company may terminate in whole the Commitment of any Lender in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.05(b) or 2.16(b). Upon
termination of a Lender's Commitment under this Section 2.05(c), the Company
will pay or cause to be paid all principal of, and interest accrued to the date
of such payment on, Advances owing to such Lender and pay any facility fees or
other fees payable to such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04,
and all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder (including, but not
limited to, any increased costs or other amounts owing under Section 2.10 and
any indemnification for Taxes under Section 2.13); and upon such payments, the
obligations of such Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be
released and discharged; provided, however, that such Lender's rights under
Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and its obligations under Section 8.05 shall
survive such release and discharge as to matters occurring prior to such date.
The aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders once reduced pursuant to
this Section 2.05(c) may not be reinstated.
(ii) For purposes of this Section 2.05(c) only, the term "Rating
Condition" shall mean a period commencing with notice (a "Rating Condition
Notice") by the Agent to the Company and the Lenders to the effect that the
Agent has been informed that the rating of the senior public Debt of the Company
is unsatisfactory under the standard set forth in the next sentence, and ending
with notice by the Agent to the Company and the Lenders to the effect that such
condition no longer exists. The Agent shall give a Rating Condition Notice
promptly upon receipt from the Company or any Lender of notice stating, in
effect, that both of S&P and Moody's (or any successor by merger or
consolidation to the business of either thereof), respectively, then rate the
senior public Debt of the Company lower than BBB- and Baa3. The Company agrees
to give notice to the Agent forthwith upon any change in a rating by either such
organization of the senior public Debt of the Company; the Agent shall have no
duty whatsoever to verify the accuracy of any such notice from the Company or
any Lender or to monitor independently the ratings of the senior public Debt of
the Company and no Lender shall have any duty to give any such notice. The Agent
shall give notice to the Lenders and the Company as to the termination of a
Rating Condition promptly upon receiving a notice from the Company to the Agent
(which notice the Agent shall promptly notify to the Lenders) stating that the
rating of the senior public Debt of the Company does not meet the standard set
forth in the second sentence of this clause (ii), and requesting that the Agent
notify the Lenders of the termination of the Rating Condition. The Rating
Condition shall terminate upon the giving of such notice by the Agent.
