For greater certainty, Funding LP or Rental ULC may make immaterial amendments to the foregoing documents without satisfying any of the above requirements, provided that Funding LP or Rental ULC shall provide the Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee with (a) prior written notice of any such immaterial amendments and (b) a copy of all such immaterial amendments.

(iv) | cause such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of clause (iii) above, all of the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Provider) to be replaced with one or more irrevocable letters of credit issued by one or more L/C Providers with an aggregate stated amount not less than the aggregate undrawn stated amount of the affected Letter(s) of Credit, or make any other arrangement which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition; or |
(v) | cause draws to be made under the affected Letter(s) of Credit and deposit the proceeds of such draws to the Cash Collateral (CAD) Account; |
provided, however, in the event that at any time the long-term unsecured debt obligations of an L/C Provider are no longer rated or are rated below A by DBRS, or, if an L/C Provider is not then rated by DBRS, the long-term unsecured debt obligations of such L/C Provider are no longer rated A1 by Moody’s or the short-term unsecured debt obligations of such L/C Provider are no longer rated A-1 by S&P, Rental ULC shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee upon becoming aware of same and Rental ULC shall cause a draw to be made under the affected Letter(s) of Credit and deposit the proceeds of such draws to the Cash Collateral (CAD) Account.
