We shall be deemed to be liable as the sole or principal debtor(s) for the Liabilities and this Guarantee shall be binding on us notwithstanding that the Customer is not so bound either because the Customer is an infant or under a disability or is an unincorporated body which is under no liability to discharge obligations undertaken or purported to be undertaken on its behalf or for any other reason whatsoever. 4.

Our liability hereunder shall not be discharged or in any way affected by any act or omission on the part of the Bank under or in relation to this Guarantee or by any course of dealing between the Bank and us. 7. This Guarantee shall not be considered as satisfied or discharged by any intermediate payment or satisfaction of the whole or any part of the Liabilities or by any other matter or thing whatsoever but shall constitute and be continuing guarantee to the Bank and shall extend to cover the ultimate balance of the Liabilities and shall be binding upon us until the expiration of one month after the receipt by to Bank from us of notice in writing to discontinue it. 8. This Guarantee shall be in addition to and is not to prejudice or be prejudiced by any other guarantee or other security whether by way of mortgage, charge, lien or otherwise which the Bank may now or at any time hereafter have or hold from us, the Customer or any other party for all or any part of the Liabilities and on discharge by payment or otherwise shall remain the property of the Bank. 9. In the event of this Guarantee being determined or ceasing from any cause to be binding as a continuing guarantee on us: (a) It shall be lawful for the Bank and/or any SCB Group Company to continue to provide facilities (as hereinbefore mentioned}, to the Customer and to continue any account with the Customer notwithstanding such event and our liability for the amount of the Liabilities at the date this Guarantee is determined shall continue notwithstanding any subsequent payment to or drawing upon or advance by the Bank and/or any SCB Group Company by or to or for or on behalf of the Customer; and (b} The Bank may forthwith without thereby affecting its rights under this Guarantee open a new or separate account with the Customer and, if the Bank does not open a new or separate account, the Bank shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time (the "relevant time") that the Bank received notice or became aware that this Guarantee had determined or ceased to be binding as a continuing guarantee and as from the relevant time all moneys paid by or on behalf of the Customer shall be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new or separate account and shall on settlement of any claim in respect of this Guarantee not operate to reduce the amount due from the Customer at the relevant time or the interest thereon unless the person or persons paying in such moneys shall at the time of payment direct the Bank in writing to appropriate the sum specially to that purpose. 10. The Bank shall be entitled at all times to place and keep in a separate or suspense account or accounts to our credit or to the credit of such other person as the Bank may think fit any moneys received under this Guarantee or as a result of the exercise of any of its rights against the Customer or any other -8- surety in respect of the Liabilities for so long and in such manner as the Bank may determine without any intermediate obligation to apply the same or any part thereof in or towards the discharge of the Liabilities and the Bank shall be entitled to prove against us as if any amount standing to the credit of such account had not been received. We hereby irrevocably waive any right of appropriation in respect of any sums paid by us. 11. Until all the Liabilities have been fully paid and discharged (and notwithstanding that we may have discharged the amount of this Guarantee), we shall not take any step to enforce any right against the Customer or his/their representatives in respect of this Guarantee or of any moneys paid hereunder or prove in any bankruptcy, liquidation, administration, winding up or other proceeding having an effect equivalent thereto of the Customer (each of which proceedings are hereinafter called a "Liquidation") in respect thereof in competition with the Bank or claim the benefit of any securities held by the Bank. 12. We have not taken and, until the Liabilities and Guaranteed Sums have been discharged and satisfied in full, will not take without the Bank's prior written consent any security (which for the purposes of this Clause shall include any promissory note, cheque or bill of exchange) from the Customer in connection with this Guarantee; and in the event of our having taken or taking any security in contravention of this provision we will hold the same on trust for the Bank as further security for the Barite and will forthwith deposit the same and all documents relating thereto with the Bank and we will account to the Bank for all moneys at any time received by us in respect thereof and in default of our so doing the maximum amount for which we are to be liable under this Guarantee (as set out In Clause 1(a) above) shall be increased by the amount by which any dividend in the bankruptcy or in the Liquidation of the Customer or otherwise payable by the Customer to the Bank is thereby diminished. 13.

(a) We will pay and discharge the Liabilities and any interest payable by us pursuant to Clause l(b)hereof, in whatever currency or currencies the Liabilities are entered in the books of the Bank and if any part of the Liabilities is entered in a different currency from any other part or parts of the Liabilities we shall pay and discharge each part of the Liabilities and any interest payable by us pursuant to Clause 1(b) hereof, in the currency in which such part or as the case may be such interest is entered in the books of the Bank and if any such payment or discharge is subject to any withholding or other tax, duty, levy, impost or charge imposed or levied by or on behalf of any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof we shall pay to the Bank such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure the receipt by the Bank of the full amount of the Liabilities and any such interest. (b) For the purposes of ascertaining at any time and in particular on the date of any demand hereunder the maximum amount (if any) for which we are to be liable in accordance with Clause 1(a) hereof if some or all of the Liabilities are entered in the books of the Bank in a currency or currencies other than the currency in which such maximum amount is denominated (the "Limit Currency") those parts of the Liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Limit Currency will be converted, nationally, into the Limit Currency at the rate at which the Bank would sell to us, in accordance with its usual practices, the currency in which such other parts of the Liabilities denominated provided always and we agree that if some or all of the Liabilities are entered in the books of the Bank in a currency other than the Limit Currency, and the amount of the Liabilities exceeds the maximum amount stipulated in Clause 1(a), the Bank shall be at liberty to elect which parts of the Liabilities shall be and form part of the Guaranteed Sums. 16.
