2.		the amount to be released to us from the Pledged Amount upon execution of a Mortgage over a Substitute Vessel shall be in an amount so that the ratio of the aggregate of the Loan and the Revolving Facility to the Security Value immediately after such release from the Pledged Amount is the same as the Required Ratio;
