(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%;

(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;

(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);

Product Availability Under no circumstances shall Company be responsible to Representative or anyone else for its failure to fill accepted orders, or for its delay in filling accepted orders, when such failure or delay is due to strike, accident, labor trouble, acts of nature, freight embargo, war, civil disturbance, vendor problems or any cause beyond Company's reasonable control.
Revolving Advances (a) The Note A-2 Holder hereby agrees to advance to the Mortgage Loan Borrower any Revolving Advance required to be made under Note A-2 and the Mortgage Loan Documents, it being the specific intent of the parties hereto that no other Noteholder shall have any obligation and shall not be liable for making any Revolving Advance. The Note A-2 Holder shall remit each Revolving Advance on the date that such Revolving Advance is required to be made pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and Note A-2. The parties hereto agree that (i) the determination of whether the Mortgage Loan Borrower is entitled to receive any Revolving Advance shall rest solely with the Note A-2 Holder, who shall be responsible for conducting any and all due diligence, loan documentation and pre-funding requirements in connection therewith, and (ii) the Note A-2 Holder shall be solely responsible for funding the Revolving Advance to the Mortgage Loan Borrower following such determination that the Mortgage Loan Borrower is entitled to receive such Revolving Advance under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
(b) For so long as the Revolving Advance Obligation has not been fully discharged and any Securitization is outstanding, Note A-2 may only be transferred to a transferee:
(i) that is a Qualified Institutional Lender, or
(ii) if the credit rating of the transferee from any applicable Rating Agency is lower than the credit rating of the Initial Note A-2 Holder, as to which the A-2 Holder has received confirmation in writing from each such Rating Agency that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current ratings of the Certificates, which confirmation will not be predicated upon any action by the Mortgage Loan Borrower. In addition, for so long as the Revolving Advance Obligation has not been fully discharged, (i) no Transfer of Note A-2 shall violate the Mortgage Loan Documents and (ii) the transferee shall assume all Revolving Advance Obligations pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee agrees to be bound by all provisions applicable to the Note A-2 Holder.
(c) The Note A-2 Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless each other Noteholder, any Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (each a “Revolving Advance Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including the fees and disbursements of outside counsel retained by any such person) and liabilities in connection with, arising out of, or as a result of the Note A-2 Holder's failure to satisfy its obligations to make any and all Revolving Advances, including without limitation, (i) any claims made by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or its Affiliates or (ii) any failure of payment by the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, in each case that results from a failure to make any Revolving Advance as required under the Mortgage Loan Documents, except, as to such Future Funding Indemnified Party, to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities resulted primarily from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Revolving Advance Indemnified Party. Each Revolving Advance Indemnified Party shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Note A-2 Holder set forth in this Section 41. In the event that the Note A-2 Holder becomes involved in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any transaction or matter referred to or contemplated by this Agreement, the Note A-2 Holder shall promptly reimburse such Revolving Advance Indemnified Party upon demand therefor in an amount equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent such party is entitled to indemnification for such legal or other costs and expenses hereunder. In addition, the Note A-2 Holder agrees that each Revolving Advance Indemnified Party may deduct and offset any amount to be indemnified hereunder from and against any amount that is due to the Note A-2 Holder under the Servicing Agreement. The indemnification obligations of the Note A-2 Holder hereunder shall survive any termination of the Agreement. Each Revolving Advance Indemnified Party's rights pursuant to this Section 41 are in addition to any other rights a Revolving Advance Indemnified Party may have at law or in equity.
(d) The Note A-2 Holder shall provide notice of the making of any Revolving Advance and the amount of such Revolving Advance to each other Noteholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.
(e) The Note A-1-A-1 Holder (or at any time when such Note is included in a Securitization, the Master Servicer) shall maintain a record of each Revolving Advance advanced by the Note A-2 Holder and will increase the Note A-2 Principal Balance by the amount of such Revolving Advance.
