        Effect or a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
        otherwise), business or properties of Arrow and the other Originators,
        taken as a whole), or its charter or by-laws, or result in the breach of
        or constitute a default under or require any consent under any indenture

        or any of its properties may be bound or affected.
