Page 6 of 20

 

this clause shall be made by the Guarantor within three Business Days of demand.

3              LENDER PROTECTIONS

3.1           The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee is and shall at all times be a continuing security and shall cover the ultimate balance from time to time owing to the Lender by the Borrowers in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall remain in operation until all monies payable in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full to the satisfaction of the Lender.

3.2           The liability of the Guarantor under this guarantee shall not be reduced, discharged or otherwise adversely affected by:

3.2.1        any intermediate payment, settlement of account or discharge in part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

3.2.2        any variation, amendment, extension, discharge, compromise, dealing with, exchange or renewal of any right or remedy which the Lender may now or after the date of this guarantee have from or against any of the Borrowers and any other person in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations;

3.2.3        any act or omission by the Lender or any other person in taking up, perfecting or enforcing any Security, indemnity, or guarantee from or against the Borrowers, the Group or any other person in any jurisdiction;

Page 7 of 20

 

3.2.8        any failure of, or defect or informality in, any Security given by, for and/or on behalf the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or by any legal limitation, disability, incapacity or lack of any powers of or by fraud of the Borrowers or any other person or by the non-existence of any matter which the Guarantor considers (expressly or impliedly) or may be deemed to consider a condition precedent to the giving of this guarantee (and, where any such matter is considered a condition precedent, it is expressly waived by the Guarantor), or lack of authority of any director or other person acting for the Borrowers or appearing or purporting to so act in any matter in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or by any other fact or circumstances (whether known or not to the Guarantor and the Lender) as a result of which any of the obligations incurred or purported to be incurred by or on behalf of the Borrowers is or may be rendered invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable by the Lender against the Borrowers in whole or in part and so that all such circumstances shall be discharged as between the Guarantor and the Lender, and the Guarantor shall be treated as being bound to observe and perform its obligations for the purposes of this guarantee whether the Borrowers are so bound as between themselves and the Lender or not so bound between themselves and the Lender on the basis of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of its obligations;

3.2.9        any claim or enforcement of payment from the Borrowers or any other person; or

3.2.10      any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of the Guarantor had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor, or indemnifier or by anything done or omitted by any person which but for this provision might operate to exonerate or discharge the Guarantor or otherwise reduce or extinguish its liability under this guarantee.

3.3           The Lender shall not be obliged, before taking steps to enforce any of its rights and remedies under this guarantee, to:

3.3.1        take any action or obtain judgment in any court against the Borrowers or any other person;

3.3.2        make or file any claim in a bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency (or analogous proceedings) of the Borrowers or any other person, in any jurisdiction;

3.4           The Guarantor warrants to the Lender that:

Page 8 of 20

 

3.4.1        it has not taken or received, and shall not take, exercise or receive the benefit of any Rights from or against the Borrowers, their liquidator, administrator, co-guarantor or any other person in any jurisdiction in connection with any liability of, or payment by, the Guarantor under this guarantee;

3.4.2        it shall not be entitled to share in any Security held or money received or receivable by the Lender on account of that balance or to stand in the place of the Lender in respect of any Security or money; and

3.4.3        it shall not exercise any rights as surety in competition with or in priority to any claim of the Lender,

until all amounts payable under this guarantee have been paid and discharged in full and the Lender has formally waived or released the Guarantor in writing from all or any further liability under this guarantee (which waiver or release in such circumstances shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

3.5           Without prejudice to clause 3.4, if any of the Rights are taken, exercised or received by the Guarantor, the Guarantor declares that those Rights and all monies at any time received or held in respect of those Rights shall be held by the Guarantor on trust for the Lender for application in or towards the discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations under this guarantee and on demand by the Lender, the Guarantor shall promptly transfer, assign or pay to the Lender all other Rights and all monies from time to time held on trust by the Guarantor under clause 3.4.

3.6           This guarantee is in addition to and shall not affect nor be affected by or merge with any other judgment, Security, right or remedy obtained or held by the Lender from time to time for the discharge and performance of the Borrowers of the Guaranteed Obligations.

4              INTEREST

4.1           The Guarantor shall pay interest to the Lender after as well as before judgment at the annual rate which is the Default Rate as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement on all sums demanded under this guarantee from the date of demand by the Lender or, if earlier, the date on which the relevant damages, losses, costs or expenses arose in respect of which the demand has been made, until, but excluding, the date of actual payment.

4.2           Interest under clause 4.1 shall accrue on a day-to-day basis calculated by the Lender on such terms as the Lender may from time to time determine and shall be compounded on the last Business Day of each month.

4.3           The Lender shall be entitled to recover any amount in respect of interest under any arrangements entered into between the Lender and the Borrowers

Page 9 of 20

 

in respect of any failure by the Borrowers to make any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations but shall not be entitled to recover additional interest in respect of the same amount under this guarantee.

5              COSTS

5.1           The Guarantor shall on a full indemnity basis pay to the Lender within 10 Business days of demand the amount of all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal and out-of-pocket expenses and any valued added tax on such costs and expenses) which the Lender incurs in connection with:

(a)     the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this guarantee (subject to any agreed caps);

The Guarantor does not hold and shall not take or hold, without the Lender’s prior written consent, in connection with this guarantee or any intercompany indebtedness, any Security from the Borrowers.

6.14         Lender’s reliance on the Warranties

7.2          The Lender may at any time and from time to time apply all or any monies held in any suspense account in or towards satisfaction of any of the monies, obligations and liabilities that are the subject of this guarantee as the

Page 12 of 20

 

Lender, in its absolute discretion, may conclusively determine. Notwithstanding any such payment, in any proceedings in liquidation, administration, composition or arrangement, (or analogous thereto in any jurisdiction), the Lender may prove for and agree to accept any dividend or composition in respect of the whole or any part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations as if this guarantee had not been given.  Any excess amount recovered by the Lender and held in such suspense account shall be returned to the Guarantor.

7.3           If this guarantee ceases for any reason whatsoever to be continuing, the Lender may open a new account or accounts in the name of the Borrowers.

7.4           If the Lender does not open a new account or accounts in accordance with clause 7.3, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time that this guarantee ceased to be continuing whether by termination, calling in or otherwise, in relation to the Borrowers.

7.5           As from the time of opening or deemed opening of a new account or accounts, all payments made to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers shall be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account or accounts and shall not operate to reduce the amount for which this guarantee is available at that time nor shall the liability of the Guarantor under this guarantee in any manner be reduced or affected by any subsequent transactions, receipts or payments.

8              DISCHARGE CONDITIONAL

8.1           Save in the circumstances where the amounts owing by the Borrowers are being refinanced by a third party, any release, discharge or settlement between the Guarantor and the Lender in relation to this guarantee shall be conditional on no right, Security, disposition or payment to the Lender by the Guarantor, the Borrowers or any other person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations being avoided, set aside or ordered to be refunded under any enactment or law relating to breach of duty by any person, bankruptcy, liquidation, administration, protection from creditors generally or insolvency or for any other reason.

8.2           If any right, Security, disposition or payment referred to in clause 8.1 is avoided, set aside or ordered to be refunded, the Lender shall be entitled subsequently to enforce this guarantee against the Guarantor as if such release, discharge or settlement had not occurred and any such right, Security, disposition or payment had not been given or made.

9              PAYMENTS

9.1           All sums payable by the Guarantor under this guarantee shall be paid in full to the Lender in the currency in which the Guaranteed Obligations are payable:

Page 13 of 20

 

9.1.1        without any set-off, condition or counterclaim whatsoever; and

9.1.2        free and clear of any deductions or withholdings whatsoever except as may be required by law or regulation which is binding on the Guarantor.

9.2           If any deduction or withholding is required by any law or regulation to be made by the Guarantor, the amount of the payment due from the Guarantor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any deduction or withholding) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no deduction or withholding had been required.

9.3           The Guarantor shall promptly deliver or procure delivery to the Lender of all receipts issued to it evidencing each deduction or withholding which it has made.

9.4           The Guarantor shall not and may not direct the application by the Lender of any sums received by the Lender from the Guarantor under or pursuant to any of the terms of this guarantee.

10            CURRENCY AND INDEMNITY

10.1         For the purpose of, or pending the discharge of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Lender may convert any monies received, recovered or realised by it under this deed (including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this clause 10.1) from their existing currencies of denomination into any other currencies of denomination that the Lender may think fit.

10.2         Any such conversion shall be effected at the Lender's (or at any reference bank’s as may be determined by the Lender) then prevailing spot selling rate of exchange for such other currency against the existing currency.

10.3         Each reference in this clause 10.1 to a currency extends to funds of that currency and, for the avoidance of doubt, funds of one currency may be converted into different funds of the same currency.

10.4         If, under any applicable law or regulation or pursuant to a judgment or order being made or registered against the Guarantor or the liquidation of the Guarantor or without limitation for any other reason, any payment under or in connection with this deed is made or requires to be satisfied in a currency (the "payment currency") other than the currency in which such payment is expressed by the Lender to be due under or in connection with this deed (the "contractual currency") then, to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by the Lender, when converted into the contractual currency at the rate of exchange, falls short of the amount due under or in connection with this deed, the Guarantor, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lender against the amount of such shortfall.

Page 14 of 20

 

11            TRANSFER

11.1         At any time, without the consent of the Guarantor, the Lender may assign or transfer any or all of its rights and obligations under this guarantee in accordance with the Loan and Security Agreement.

11.2         This guarantee shall be binding on the Guarantor’s successors in title but the Guarantor may not assign any of its rights and may not transfer any of its obligations under this guarantee.

11.3         The Lender may disclose to any actual or proposed assignee or transferee any information in its possession that relates to the Company and this guarantee that the Lender considers appropriate, provided that, prior to such disclosure, such proposed assignee or transferee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information with the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information and otherwise in accordance with the Loan and Security Agreement.

12            LENDER'S RIGHT OF SET-OFF

12.1         The Lender may at any time set off any matured liability of the Guarantor to the Lender against any matured liability of the Lender to the Guarantor, whether or not either liability arises under this guarantee. If the liabilities to be set off are expressed in different currencies, the Lender may convert either liability at a market rate of exchange for the purpose of set-off. Any exercise by the Lender of its rights under this clause 12.1 shall not limit or affect any other rights or remedies available to it under this guarantee or otherwise.

12.2         The Lender is not obliged to exercise its rights under clause 12.1. If, however, it does exercise those rights it must promptly notify the Guarantor of the set-off that has been made.

13            EVIDENCE OF AMOUNTS AND CERTIFICATES

Any certificate, determination or notification by the Lender as to a rate or any amount payable under this guarantee is (in the absence of manifest error) conclusive evidence of the matter to which it relates and shall contain reasonable details of the basis of determination.

14            REMEDIES, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND CONSENTS

14.1         No amendment of this guarantee shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by, or on behalf of, each party (or its authorised representative).

14.2         A waiver of any right or remedy under this guarantee or by law, or any consent given under this guarantee, is only effective if given in writing and signed by the waiving or consenting party and shall not be deemed a waiver

Page 15 of 20

 

of any other breach or default. It only applies in the circumstances for which it is given and shall not prevent the party giving it from subsequently relying on the relevant provision.

14.3         A failure, omission or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this guarantee or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy or constitute an election to affirm this guarantee. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under this guarantee or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No election to affirm this guarantee by the Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed.

14.4         The rights and remedies provided under this guarantee are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights and remedies provided by law.

14.5         This guarantee shall remain the property of the Lender.

14.6         The Guarantor may not, without the prior written consent of the Lender, terminate this guarantee at any time while any obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender remain outstanding.

14.7         This guarantee is executed in addition to any other guarantee or other Security document between the parties hereto (whether or not governed by English law) and is not to be construed as replacing or amending the obligations in such other guarantee or Security document.

14.8         If the rule against perpetuities applies to any trust created by this guarantee, the perpetuity period shall be 125 years (as specified by section 5(1) of the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 2009).

14.9         All notices, demands or communications under or in connection with this guarantee shall be in English.

15            SEVERANCE

If any provision (or part of a provision) of this guarantee is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision (or part of a provision) shall be deemed deleted.
