(c)shares in or debt issued by a qualifying infrastructure company,
whether the income, assets, shares or debt relate to the company concerned or another qualifying infrastructure company.
(5)For the purposes of subsection (4) a guarantee, indemnity or other financial assistance in favour of the creditor is ignored if—
(a)it is provided before 1 April 2017, or
(b)it is provided at any later time by a person who, at that time, is not a related party of the company or is a relevant public body.

(b)the company concerned has not been UK resident at any time before that date, and
(c)the amount concerned is in respect of a loan relationship, derivative contract or relevant arrangement or transaction (within the meaning of section 382(4)) to which the member in question is a party for the purposes of its UK property business.]

(a)it guarantees the performance by any person of contractual obligations to provide goods or services to a qualifying infrastructure company,
(b)it is given by the person providing the goods or services or by a person who is a related party of that person, and
(c)the maximum amount for which the guarantor is liable does not exceed the consideration given under the contract for the provision of the goods or services.
(7)In this section “creditor” means—
(a)if the amount meets condition A in section 382, the person who is party to the loan relationship as creditor,
(b)if the amount meets condition B in that section, the person other than the company who is party to the derivative contract, and
