The highest ranking categorymeans, in relation to a Qualifying Investment, that the Qualifying Investment has been rated by each Rating Agency with the highest rating assigned by that Rating Agency for that general security category. If at any time the Notes are unrated (and therefore have no rating agency), the term "highest rating category" in relation to a Qualifying Investment means that the Qualifying Investment has the highest rating assigned by S&P or Moody's has received a rating from that rating agency for this general security category. For example, the highest S&P tax-exempt municipal debt rating category is "A-1+" for debt with a maturity of less than one year and "AAA" for debt with a maturity of more than one year, with appropriate ratings. Moody's "MIG-1" (for a flat rate) or "VMIG-1" (for a floating rate) for three months or less and "Aaa" for more than three months. If at any time (a) the Notes are unrated, (b) both S&P and Moody's rate a qualifying investment, and (c) one of these ratings falls below the highest rating category, then such qualifying investment will nevertheless be deemed eligible in the highest rating category, if the lowest rating is no more than one category lower than the highest rating category of that credit rating agency. For example, an investment rated "AAA" by S&P and "Aa3" by Xxxxx'x is in the highest rated category. However, if the lowest rating is more than one full category below the rating agency's highest rating category, the qualifying investment will be considered below the highest rating category. For example, a qualifying investment rated "AAA" by S&P and "A1" by Xxxxx'x is not in the highest rated category.
