(c) 50% of (a) the Carrying Value of the Eligible Warehouse Loans, less (b) Collections (excluding interest payments) in respect of the Eligible Warehouse Loans since the Cut-Off Date for the last Monthly Collateral Report;
(d) With respect to the GX II Note, the Specified Percentage of (a) the Carrying Value of the Supporting Assets for the GX II Note, less (b) the Carrying Value of Supporting Assets that were the subject of a Collateral Disposition since the Cut-Off Date for the last Monthly Collateral Report, plus (c) the Carrying Value of Supporting Assets that were added to the GX II SPE in accordance with the GX II Security Documents since the Cut-Off Date for the last Monthly Collateral Report; provided that such addition has been approved by the Lender Agent in a Collateral Addition Designation Notice;
| Exhibit A-1 | Sixth Amendment |
(e) With respect to the equity of Equity Investment I, (a) the Specified Percentage of the Carrying Value of such equity, less (b) the aggregate amount of Collections received by an Obligor (whether in the form of a dividend, distribution of Collateral Disposition Proceeds, distribution of capital or income or otherwise) in respect of such equity since the Cut-Off Date for the last Monthly Collateral Report, plus (c) if additional Supporting Assets have been acquired by Equity Investment I since such Cut-Off Date and such Supporting Assets have been approved by the Lender Agent for inclusion in the Collateral Value as described below, the Specified Percentage of the increase in the Carrying Value of the equity in Equity Investment I as of a result of the acquisition of such Supporting Assets;
(f) With respect to Group A Loans, (a) the Specified Percentage of the Carrying Value of such Group A Loans, less (b) the Specified Percentage of the Carrying Value of any such Group A Loans (i) subject to a Collateral Disposition since the Cut-Off Date for the last Monthly Report or (ii) for which the Carrying Value has become zero since the Cut-Off Date for the last Monthly Report pursuant to clause (y) of the next sentence below, plus (c) if additional Group A Loans have been designated as Eligible Assets by the Lender Agent in a Collateral Addition Designation Notice since such Cut-Off Date, the Specified Percentage of the Carrying Value of such Group A Loans; plus
(g) With respect to Group B Loans, (a) the Specified Percentage of the Carrying Value of such Group B Loans, less (b) the Specified Percentage of the Carrying Value of any such Group B Loans (i) subject to a Collateral Disposition since the Cut-Off Date for the last Monthly Report or (ii) for which the Carrying Value has become zero since the Cut-Off Date for the last Monthly Report pursuant to clause (y) of the next sentence below, plus (c) if additional Group B Loans have been designated as Eligible Assets by the Lender Agent in a Collateral Addition Designation Notice since such Cut-Off Date, the Specified Percentage of the Carrying Value of such Group A Loans; plus

All defined terms used below have the meaning set forth in the GSAP Second Amended and Restated Indenture.
The aggregate Preference Share Value of the GSAP Class A-1 Preference Shares and the GSAP Class A-2 Preference Shares shall equal an amount equal to (RB + NP) – IA, when:

NP = the amount of Net Proceeds then on deposit in the Collection and Funding Account, the Principal Reserve Sub-Account and the Note Payment Account.
IA = the aggregate Invested Amount of all Outstanding Notes of all Series as of the opening of business on such date (after giving effect to any required payments on such date, if any).
In calculating the amount set forth in clause (b) above, the parties may rely on the calculations performed with respect to the Borrowing Base Test under the GSAP Second Amended and Restated Indenture.
5. Specified Percentage Determination. “Specified Percentage” means, with respect to any group of Assets, the percentage specified in good faith in the most recent written notice from the Lender Agent to the applicable Obligor, whether such notice is given at the inclusion of such Assets in the Borrowing Base or at any time thereafter. It is understood and agreed that the Lender Agent may give such notice at any time and from time to time in its good faith discretion.
