The Trustee is under no obligation to ascertain whether a change in the rating assigned to the Notes by S&P or any Additional Rating Agency has occurred or whether there has been a failure or a ceasing by S&P or any Additional Rating Agency to assign a credit rating to the Issuer's senior unsecured long-term debt and until it shall have actual knowledge or express notice pursuant to the Trust Deed to the contrary, the Trustee may assume that no such change to the credit rating assigned to the Notes has occurred or no such failure or ceasing by S&P or any Additional Rating Agency has occurred.
If the rating designations employed by S&P are changed from those which are described in this Schedule, the Issuer shall determine, with the agreement of the Trustee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the rating designations of S&P as are most equivalent to the prior rating designations of S&P, and this Schedule shall be construed accordingly.
For the purposes only of the step-up and step-down provisions of item 8 (Interest Basis), item 10 (Change of Interest or Redemption/Payment Basis) and item 14 (Fixed Rate Note Provisions) of these Final Terms:
Additional Rating Agency means a Statistical Rating Agency that at any time provides a solicited rating to the Issuer's senior unsecured long-term debt obligations;
S&P means Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services France SAS, or its successor;
Statistical Rating Agency means Moody's Investors Service Ltd. or Fitch Ratings Limited or their respective successors or such other credit rating agency as the Trustee may approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
Step Down Rating Change means the first public announcement after a Step Up Rating Change by S&P or an Additional Rating Agency of an increase in the credit rating of the Issuer's senior unsecured long-term
debt with the result that, following such public announcement(s), the Issuer's senior unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB- or higher by S&P or a rating equivalent to BBB- or higher by an Additional Rating Agency. For the avoidance of doubt, any further increases in the credit rating of the Issuer's senior unsecured long-term debt above BBB- in the case of S&P or above a rating equivalent to BBB- in the case of an Additional Rating Agency shall not constitute a Step Down Rating Change; and
Step Up Rating Change means the first public announcement by S&P or an Additional Rating Agency of a decrease in the credit rating of the Issuer's senior unsecured long-term debt to below BBB- in the case of S&P or below a rating equivalent to BBB- in the case of an Additional Rating Agency. For the avoidance of doubt, any further decrease in the credit rating of the Issuer's senior unsecured long-term debt from below BBB- in the case of S&P or below a rating equivalent to BBB- in the case of an Additional Rating Agency shall not constitute a Step Up Rating Change.
