Borrowing Base Report The Agent shall have received from the Borrower the initial Borrowing Base Report dated as of the Closing Date.
Calculation of Borrowing Base For purposes of this Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” shall be determined, as at any date of determination, as the sum of the Advance Rates of the Value of each Portfolio Investment (excluding any Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(k) or the last paragraph of Section 2.09(a)); provided that:
(a) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments in a consolidated group of corporations or other entities (collectively, a “Consolidated Group”), in accordance with GAAP, that exceeds 10% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which, for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be 50% of the Advance Rate otherwise applicable; provided that, with respect to the Portfolio Investments in a single Consolidated Group designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent such 10% figure shall be increased to 12.5%;
(b) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments of all issuers in a Consolidated Group exceeding 20% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which, for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be 0%;
(c) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments in any single Industry Classification Group that exceeds 20% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be 0%; provided that, with respect to the Portfolio Investments in a single Industry Classification Group from time to time designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent such 20% figure shall be increased to 30% and, accordingly, only to the extent that the Value for such single Industry Classification Group exceeds 30% of the Shareholders’ Equity shall the Advance Rate applicable to such excess Value be 0%;
(d) no Portfolio Investment may be included in the Borrowing Base unless the Collateral Agent maintains a first priority, perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on such Portfolio Investment and such Portfolio Investment has been Delivered (as such term is used in and to the extent required under Section 7.01(a) of the Guarantee and Security Agreement) to the Collateral Agent, and then only for so long as such Portfolio Investment continues to be Delivered as contemplated therein;
(e) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Performing Non-Cash Pay High Yield Securities, Performing Non-Cash Pay Mezzanine Investments, Equity Interests and Non-Performing Portfolio Investments shall not exceed 20%;
(f) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Equity Interests shall not exceed 10% (it being understood that in no event shall Equity Interests of Financing Subsidiaries be included in the Borrowing Base);
(g) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Non-Performing Portfolio Investments shall not exceed 15% and the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Portfolio Investments that were Non-Performing Portfolio Investments at the time such Portfolio Investments were acquired shall not exceed 5%; and
(h) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Portfolio Investments invested outside the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden shall not exceed 5% without the consent of the Administrative Agent. As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

Collateral Accounts (a) The Collateral Agent shall establish and maintain for the benefit of the Secured Parties one or more accounts, as “Deposit Accounts” under and as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the New York UCC (each a “Collateral Account”), each in the name of the Collateral Agent that shall be administered and operated as provided in this Agreement, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the respective benefit of the respective Secured Parties as their interests may appear. Each Collateral Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution or (ii) as a segregated trust account with a Qualified Trust Institution. If any Collateral Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, then within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining knowledge of such fact, the Collateral Agent shall establish a new Collateral Account which complies with such sentence and transfer into the new Collateral Account all funds from the non-qualifying Collateral Account. Initially, each Collateral Account will be established with the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any contrary provision that may be contained in any Related Document, the provisions contained in this Agreement relating to the Collateral Accounts and to the flow of funds into and out of the Collateral Accounts are consented to by the parties hereto (in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof) and shall control.
(b) The Servicer and the Grantor shall cause:

(ii) all insurance proceeds and warranty payments in respect of ZVF Vehicles or ZVF Segregated Vehicles to be deposited directly into a Collateral Account and, to the extent that any such insurance proceeds or warranty payments are received by the Servicer, to be deposited into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of such receipt; provided, however, that unless an Amortization Event or Specified Potential Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes has occurred and is continuing, insurance proceeds and warranty payments with respect to the ZVF Vehicles shall not be required to be deposited in a Collateral Account; provided, further, however, that unless an Amortization Event with respect to a Segregated Collateral Agency Series Outstanding has occurred and is continuing, insurance proceeds and warranty payments with respect to the ZVF Segregated Vehicles relating to such Segregated Series shall not be required to be deposited into a Collateral Account; and
(iii) all other Proceeds from the sale (other than a sale to Zipcar under Section 2.4 of the ZVF Lease) of the Vehicle Collateral, to be deposited directly into the applicable Collateral Account and, to the extent that any such Proceeds are received by the Servicer, to be deposited into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of such receipt. In addition, if the Grantor receives any Proceeds of the Vehicle Collateral directly, it shall deposit such Proceeds into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer receives any amount pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.4(b) and determines that such amount is Proceeds of the ZVF Collateral, Proceeds of the ZVF Segregated Collateral or Proceeds with respect to the other vehicles owned by Zipcar before it is obligated to deposit such amount into a Collateral Account in accordance with this Section 2.4(b), the Servicer shall deposit such amount directly into the Collection Account if it is Proceeds of the ZVF Vehicle Collateral, deposit such amount directly into the collection account specified in the Segregated Series Supplement for the applicable Segregated Series of Notes if it is Proceeds of any ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral and deposit such amount into an account specified by Zipcar if it is Proceeds of other vehicles owned by Zipcar.

(d) If at any time the Servicer or any Secured Party shall receive any funds with respect to which it has knowledge that it is not entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer or such Secured Party shall so advise the other parties hereto in writing (upon which written advice the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely) and the Servicer or such Secured Party, as the case may be, shall forthwith take reasonable steps to ensure that such funds are remitted to the Person so entitled thereto or as such Person directs or as otherwise provided in the Related Documents.
