This Guarantee is irrevocable.
3. Indemnification
The Guarantor undertakes to indemnify ATB immediately on first demand against any loss or liability suffered by ATB, if any of the Guaranteed Obligations become unenforceable, invalid or illegal; the amount of the loss or liability under this indemnity will be equal to the amount ATB would otherwise have been entitled to recover.

|
|
(b) |

|
|
(c) |
the refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce any rights against the Borrower or any other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security; |
|
|
(d) |
any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the Borrower; |
|
|
(e) |
any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of the Borrower; |
|
|
(f) |
any insolvency or similar proceedings; |
|
|
(g) |
any other action, which would otherwise, under applicable principles of law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guarantee; and/or |
|
|
(h) |
any compromise to or waiver of any breach or omission or default in respect of the Guaranteed Obligation or otherwise any amendment (however fundamental), modification or supplement in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other document or security. |
6 No recourse or subrogation
6.1 The Guarantor hereby agrees with ATB it will not exercise any right of recourse which it may at any time have or any right in which it may at any time be subrogated as a result of this Guarantee until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full to ATB.
6.2 The Guarantor agrees that any rights of subrogation or recourse, which it may have against the Borrower hereunder, shall be subject and subordinate to the rights and remedies of ATB in respect of the Borrower.
