(C) In the case of a Distressed Disposal (or a disposal of Liabilities pursuant to paragraph (A)(iii)(d) above) effected by or at the request of the Security and Intercreditor Agent (acting in accordance with paragraph (D) below), the Security and Intercreditor Agent shall only effect such sale or disposal following the provision of a certificate from an internationally recognised investment bank (acting reasonably) that such sale or disposal is at a fair market valuation, and for cash consideration for material disposals.
