Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 8.02(a); provided that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section, then, upon the request of Required Lenders, Pricing Level 6 shall apply as of the first (1st) Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered. The Applicable Margin in effect from the Fourth Amendment Effective Date until adjusted as set forth above shall be set at Pricing Level 1.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (a), the determination of the Applicable Margin under this clause (a) for any period shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b).
(b)If Parent or Borrower obtains an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower may, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, make an irrevocable one time written election to exclusively use the below table based on the Debt Rating of Parent or Borrower (setting forth the date for such election to be effective), and thereafter the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the applicable rate per annum set forth in the below table notwithstanding any failure of Parent or Borrower to maintain an Investment Grade Rating or any failure of Parent or Borrower to maintain a Debt Rating:
