The Development Agreement has been amended, modified and supplemented pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”) dated on or about the date hereof and made between STB and the Company and it is a condition of the Supplemental Agreement that we issue this Amendment Guarantee to STB.
NOW THIS AMENDMENT GUARANTEE WITNESSES as follows:
1.  
Words and expressions which are specifically defined in the Development Agreement (as amended, modified and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) shall, unless otherwise defined in this Amendment Guarantee, have the same meanings when used in this Amendment Guarantee.
2.  
At the request of the Company, we [] agree that with effect from the date hereof, the Security Deposit Guarantee shall be amended as follows:
  (a)  
the first sentence of Clause 4 thereof shall be replaced in its entirety with the following sentence:
     
“This Guarantee is conditional upon a claim as specified herein being made by STB by way of a notice in writing addressed to us and the same being received by us at [insert address of Bank’s notification office] at any time before the date falling one hundred and eighty (180) days from the Expiry Date.”

 

- 35 -


 

  (b)  
the insertion of the following new Clause 4A:
  “4A.   
Our obligation to make payment to STB under this Guarantee shall be a primary, independent and absolute obligation and we shall not be entitled to delay or withhold payment for any reason whatsoever and any claim or demand made by STB under this Guarantee shall be conclusive evidence of our liability and of the amount of the sum or sums which we are liable to pay to STB, notwithstanding any objection made by the Company or any other person.”; and
  (c)  
the insertion of the following new Clause 4B:
  “4B.   
Our obligations and liability under this Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect prior to the date falling one hundred and eighty (180) days from the Expiry Date and shall not be discharged, released, reduced or affected in any way by reason of any of the following: (a) any time, indulgence, concession, waiver or consent at any time given to any person, (b) any amendment, modification or supplement (however fundamental and whether or not it increases or might result in the increase of our obligations under this Guarantee) to any provision of the Development Agreement (as amended, modified and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement, the “Amended Development Agreement”), the Supplemental Agreement or any other document, (c) any provision of this Guarantee, the Amended Development Agreement or the Supplemental Agreement or any obligations of any party under any such document being or becoming illegal, invalid, void, voidable or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (d) the winding-up, insolvency or liquidation of the Company or any other person, or any step being taken for any such winding-up, insolvency or liquidation, or (e) any other fact, circumstance, act, event, omission or provision of statute or law or otherwise which but for this clause might operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect any of our obligations under this Guarantee or any of the rights, powers or remedies conferred on STB by this Guarantee or by law.”
