There are some sentences where the arg1 is effectively a VP, such as "The bond is rated Triple-A based on the quality of the underlying loans". As such, these do not lend themselves to having a nice arg1 annotated, since there is no constituent holding the event (in this case, the rating) that does not also hold the basing event. Bummer.
