together with such evidence from legal counsel to the Facility Agent as the Lenders may require as to the continued effectiveness of the Guarantees relative to the arrangements contemplated by this Amendment (having regard to the form of the corresponding confirmation accepted by the Lenders in connection with the Previous Amendment Agreement);

it being acknowledged and agreed that:

(iii) where the relevant credit support being provided in accordance with this Section 7.2.11 is a Group Member Guarantee from a Group Member that owns (directly or indirectly) one or more ECA Financed Vessels but does not own (directly or indirectly) any other Vessels, the amount of Indebtedness that can be supported by such Group Member Guarantee shall be equal to the aggregate amount of Indebtedness that would be permitted to be secured under this Section 7.2.11 if, instead of a Group Member Guarantee, each relevant Principal Subsidiary owning each relevant ECA Financed Vessel was to provide a Lien as credit support in respect of that Indebtedness;

(iv) where the relevant credit support being provided in accordance with this Section 7.2.11 is a Group Member Guarantee from a Group Member that owns (directly or indirectly) one or more ECA Financed Vessels and other Vessels, the restrictions contained in this Section 7.2.11 as to the amount of the Indebtedness that can be supported by such credit support must be preserved at all times and, not later than five Business Days after the date upon which that Group Member grants the relevant Group Member Guarantee, the Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent in writing of such event and shall provide any information as may be reasonably requested by the Facility Agent to verify that the requirements of this Section 7.2.11 have been complied with following the provision of such Group Member Guarantee; and

(v) not later than five Business Days after the date upon which a Group Member provides any credit support, the Borrower shall provide the Facility Agent with evidence as to its compliance with this Section 7.2.11, which evidence shall include all required calculations and other information required by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) to determine such compliance; and

(vi) no Group Member shall be entitled to use any ECA Financed Vessel as credit support in the manner contemplated by this Section 7.2.11:

(A) until such time as the relevant Group Member has repaid at least 15.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness originally incurred under the ECA Financing in respect of that ECA Financed Vessel; and/or
