DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

Definitions. In this Guarantee Agreement:

Interpretation. In this Guarantee Agreement, unless a contrary indication appears:

the “Bank”, the “Borrower” or the “Guarantor” shall be construed as to include its and any subsequent successors in title, permitted assigns and permitted transferees;

the “Finance Contract”, a “Finance Document”, a “Guaranteed Document”, this “First Demand Guarantee”, this “Guarantee Agreement” or any other agreement or instrument is a reference to such agreement or instrument as amended, novated, supplemented, extended or restated from time to time;

a provision of law or a treaty are references to that provision as amended or re-enacted;

“law” or “laws” mean (a) any applicable law and any applicable treaty, constitution, statute, legislation, decree, normative act, rule, regulation, judgement, order, writ, injunction, determination, award or other legislative or administrative measure or judicial or arbitral decision in any jurisdiction which is binding or applicable case law, and (b) EU Law;

Clauses’ and Annexes’ headings are for ease of reference only and shall not impact the interpretation of this Guarantee Agreement.

Words importing the singular shall include the plural form and vice versa.

A term used in any notice given under or in connection with this First Demand Guarantee or this Guarantee Agreement has the same meaning as ascribed to it in this Guarantee Agreement.

Unless this Guarantee Agreement provides otherwise or the context otherwise requires, a term which is defined (or expressed to be subject to a particular construction) in the Finance Contract (including any term defined in the Finance Contract) shall have the same meaning (or be subject to the same construction) in this Guarantee Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall apply also after the Bank has confirmed to the Borrower in writing that all amounts owed by the Borrower under or in connection with the Finance Contract have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full.

FIRST DEMAND GUARANTEE

First Demand Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Bank as principal debtor and not merely as a surety (in Danish: “kaution”) by way of an on-demand guarantee (in Danish: “anfordringsgaranti”) to pay upon the Bank’s first written demand following a Guaranteed Event, without raising any defences or objections, set-off or counterclaim and without verification of the legal ground, any amount of the Guaranteed Obligations specified by the Bank, plus any interest, taxes or fiscal charges, duties, expenses, fees, rights, levies, indemnities, damages or any other sum which may from time to time become due or payable by the Obligors to the Bank under or pursuant to the Guaranteed Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts which, but for any US Debtor Relief Law, would become due and payable and all interest accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under a US Debtor Relief Law at the rate provided for in the Finance Contract, whether or not allowed in any such proceeding). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon any Automatic Acceleration Event any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind required by the foregoing clauses are expressly waived.

Demands and payments

Subject to Clause 4 (Reinstatement), any demand made by the Bank to the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement (each, a “Demand”) shall be made by way of a written notification addressed by the Bank to the Guarantor, sent in accordance with the provisions set forth in Clause 12 (Notices) below and having the following content (each a “Notification”):

specifying that the Bank is making a Demand under this Guarantee Agreement;

specifying the amount due and payable by the Guarantor as well as the currency of payment of such sums;

providing details of the relevant bank account into which payment should be made (the “Bank’s Account”) together with relevant instructions as to how payment should be made (if any); and

specifying and warranting that a Guaranteed Event has occurred,

The Guarantor shall make the payment requested in the Notification within five Business Days as from the date of receipt (included) of the relevant Notification (the “Payment Period”) and in the currency as requested within the Notification.

The Bank is entitled to request the payment of any amount in one or several instalments and the Bank shall not be limited in how many Demands and Notifications are made.

Independent payment obligations. The Guarantor expressly acknowledges that each Demand made in accordance with this Clause 2 generates an independent payment obligation toward the Bank.

Guarantee limitation - fraudulent conveyance. Any term or provision of this Clause 2 or any other term in this Guarantee Agreement or the Finance Contract notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations for which the Guarantor shall be liable under this Guarantee Agreement or the Finance Contract shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee Agreement or the Finance Contract subject to avoidance under applicable US Debtor Relief Laws, in all cases before taking into account any liabilities under any other guarantee by such Guarantor.

AUTONOMY OF THE FIRST DEMAND GUARANTEE

Autonomy of the First Demand Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Finance Document, this First Demand Guarantee is by agreement of the Parties meant to be independent and separate from the obligations of the Obligors under the Finance Documents and is a continuing guarantee which will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by the Obligors under the Guaranteed Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge of any sum payable by the Obligors in whole or in part and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be obligations of the Guarantor as principal debtor and not as a surety (in Danish: “kaution”) or a surety upon first demand or a joint obligation as a borrower and the Guarantor undertakes to pay the amounts so demanded under or pursuant to this Guarantee Agreement unconditionally, irrevocably, upon first demand and without raising any defences or objections, set-off or counterclaim and without verification of the legal ground.

No defence

The Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right it has, or may have, which might reduce or extinguish its payment obligations under this Guarantee Agreement whether by way of set-off, lien, defence or otherwise.

Accordingly, the Guarantor acknowledges that it cannot raise any objection, ground or plea of any kind, in particular based on the Finance Documents, to refuse or delay the performance of its obligations under this Guarantee Agreement and/or any payment to be made by it under this Guarantee Agreement.

The obligations of the Guarantor will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which relates to the principal obligation (or purported obligation) of the Obligors and which would reduce, release or prejudice any of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee Agreement, including any personal defences of each Obligors or any right of revocation or set-off of each Obligor.

In particular, but without limitation, the Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations to make payments hereunder are independent from and will not be affected by:

the release of, or any time, waiver or consent granted to, any of the other Obligors from or in respect of its obligations under or in connection with any Finance Document;

the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or Security over assets of, the Obligors or any other person or any failure to realise full value of any Security;

any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or a deterioration of the financial condition of the Obligors;

the validity, legality, regularity and/or enforceability of any of the Finance Documents and the rights and obligations of the Obligors thereunder;

any absence of action by the Bank against the Obligors to enforce the Bank’s rights under any of the Finance Documents;

any waiver or consent given by the Bank with respect to any provisions of any of the Finance Documents;

the occurrence of any event whatsoever which could prevent any of the Obligors from performing any of its obligations, including its payment obligations, under any of the Finance Documents, including in relation to the opening of any voluntary or judicial insolvency or restructuring proceedings in any jurisdiction; and

any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal discharge of or a defence for the Obligors.

Therefore, the Guarantor shall, in particular but without limitation, not be entitled to challenge any demand of payment under this Guarantee Agreement nor raise any objection, defence, exception, lien or right of set-off resulting from or related to:

any provisions of any of the Finance Documents;

any relationship between the Bank and any Obligor or the Guarantor and any Obligor, or the Guarantor and the Bank;

any change in the legal and/or financial situation of any Obligor (including any merger, demerger or other form of legal or corporate reorganisation);

any negligence or omission by the Bank, except in case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence; and

any arrangement or agreement between the Bank and any Obligor including any cure period or delay which may be granted to any Obligor under any of the Finance Documents.

The Guarantor further undertakes not to exercise any action on the basis of a subrogation or any other form of recourse.

Other rights

The First Demand Guarantee granted pursuant to this Guarantee Agreement is in addition to any other rights, remedies or Security, which the Bank has, or may have, against any other person, including against the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other Obligor, whether provided for by law or otherwise.

The Guarantor hereby expressly accepts and acknowledges that the Bank will not be required to proceed against or enforce any other rights, Security or claim payment from any other person before making a claim under this Guarantee Agreement.

REINSTATEMENT

SUBORDINATION AND DEFERRAL OF GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Guaranteed Documents have been irrevocably paid in full:

any rights and claims of the Guarantor against the Borrower, and against any other person guaranteeing, or granting Security for, the amounts payable by any Obligor to the Bank under any Guaranteed Document resulting from any payment made to the Bank shall be subordinated to any outstanding claims of the Bank against the Obligors or other such persons; and

the Guarantor will not:

exercise any rights to be indemnified by any other Obligor or other person guaranteeing, or granting Security;

claim any contribution from any other guarantor or any other person guaranteeing, or granting Security;

claim any payments arising out of or based upon any right of subrogation which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Guaranteed Documents; and

take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Bank under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by the Bank.

If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights and claims it shall hold such benefit, payment or distribution in full segregated from its other assets and on trust for the Bank and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Bank for application in accordance with the Finance Contract.
