TERMS OF GUARANTEE
1. |
The Lender may without giving notice to or obtaining any consent from the Guarantor and without affecting the Guarantor's liability hereunder renew, vary or determine any accommodation given to the Principal, hold over, renew, modify or release any security or guarantee now or hereafter held from the Principal or any other person including any other person liable under this Guarantee in respect of the liabilities hereby secured and/or any liabilities of the Guarantor and grant time or indulgence to or compound with the Principal or any such person and this Guarantee shall not be discharged nor shall the Guarantor's liability under it be affected by anything which would not have discharged or affected the Guarantor's liability if the Guarantor had been a principal debtor to the Lender instead of a guarantor. |
2. |
This Guarantee shall be additional to any other guarantee or security now or hereafter held in respect of the liabilities hereby secured. This Guarantee may be enforced without the Lender first making demand on the Principal or taking any steps or proceedings against the Principal or having recourse to any such other guarantee or security. |
3. |
This Guarantee shall be a continuing security and shall remain in force notwithstanding any disability of the Guarantor and irrespective of whatever dealings may occur on any account between the Lender and the Principal. |
4. |
The Guarantor has not taken and will not take, without the written consent of the Lender, any security from the Principal in connection with this Guarantee and any security so taken shall be held in trust for the Lender and as security for the liability of the Guarantor to the Lender hereunder. |
5. |
In respect of the Guarantor's liability hereunder, the Lender shall have a lien on all Securities or other property of the Guarantor held by the Lender whether for safe custody or otherwise. The Lender shall further be entitled (as well before as after demand hereunder) to set off against any credit balance on any account of the Guarantor with the Lender (whether current or otherwise or subject to notice or not) and against any interest accruing thereon, any liabilities of the Guarantor to the Lender arising under or pursuant to the Finance Documents or any Security Document and if such liabilities or any part thereof are or is in a different currency from a credit balance against which the Lender seeks to set it off, the Lender shall be entitled to utilise currency of the account in credit for the purchase, at its spot rate of exchange, of an amount in the currency of the liability not exceeding the amount of such liability and also to pay out of the credit balance any additional sum which the Lender may be required to pay for such currency. |
6. |
This Guarantee shall apply to all of the Secured Liabilities of the Principal to the Lender and shall not be affected by any fluctuation in, or intermediate discharge of, such liabilities and until such liabilities have been discharged in full, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to share in any security held or money received by the Lender on account of such liabilities or to stand in the place of the Lender in respect of any security or money nor, until such liabilities have been discharged in full, shall the Guarantor take any step to enforce any right or claim against the Principal in respect of any moneys paid by the Guarantor to the Lender hereunder or have or exercise any rights as surety in competition with the Lender. |
7. |
Any moneys received by the Lender in connection with this Guarantee may be placed to the credit of a suspense account and such receipt shall not affect the right of the Lender to claim or prove against the Principal (or any other person liable) for the entire amount of the liabilities of the Principal. Such moneys or any part thereof may at the Lender's option be applied in or towards discharge of such liabilities of the Principal to the Lender as the Lender may in its absolute discretion determine. |
8. |
If this Guarantee is determined or called in by demand made by the Lender, the Lender may open a new account or accounts with the Principal or any other person for whose liabilities this Guarantee is available as security. If the Lender does not open a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time of determination or calling in and as from that time all payments made to the Lender shall be credited or be treated as having been credited |
20
to the new account and shall not operate to reduce the amount for which this Guarantee is available as security at that time. | |
9. |
This Guarantee shall not be discharged nor shall the Guarantor's liability be affected by reason of any failure of or irregularity, defect or informality in any security given by or on behalf of the Principal in respect of the moneys or liabilities hereby secured nor by any legal limitation, bar or restriction, dissolution, disability, incapacity or want of any borrowing powers of the Principal or want of authority of any director, manager, official or other person appearing to be acting for the Principal in any matter in respect of the moneys or liabilities hereby secured or by any supervening matters rendering the performance of the obligations of the Principal illegal in any jurisdiction and such moneys or liabilities will be recoverable by the Lender from the Guarantor as sole or principal debtor. |
10. |
Any settlement or discharge or release between the Guarantor and the Lender shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Lender by the Principal or any other person being avoided or reduced for any reason and the Lender shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of such security or payment from the Guarantor subsequently as if such settlement, discharge or release had not occurred. Any liability of the Guarantor under this paragraph (whether actual or contingent) shall be a liability in respect of which the Lender may exercise the rights referred to in paragraph 5 of this Schedule 2. |
11. |
Other than with the prior written consent of the Lender, the Guarantor shall not terminate this Guarantee whilst any part of the Secured Liabilities remains outstanding. |
12. |
None of the terms of this Guarantee are enforceable by any person other than the Guarantor, the Lender and any person to whom the Lender has assigned its rights pursuant to the Finance Documents or a Security Document. |
