    with the Employer.

    hereunder shall impair such right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of

    such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such

    right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any

    Employer the due and punctual performance by the Contractor of all the obligations

    on the part of the Contractor under or pursuant to the Contract (the Terms) and (as

    a separate stipulation and as primary obligor) agrees that if the Contractor shall in any

    respect commit any breach of or fail to fulfil any of the Terms, then the Guarantor

    will forthwith perform and fulfil in place of the Contractor each and every Term in

    respect of which the Contractor has defaulted or which is unfulfilled by the

    Contractor. The Guarantor shall be liable to the Employer for all losses, damages,

    expenses, liabilities, claims, costs or proceedings which the Employer may suffer or

    incur by reason of the said failure or breach.

    2 The Guarantor shall be, and continue to be, liable under this Agreement even if the

    Contract is or becomes not binding on, or unenforceable against, the Contractor, for

    any reason whatever. No alterations in the Contract, or in the Works, and no

    extension of time, forbearance or forgiveness, nor any act, matter or thing whatsoever

    except an express release by the Employer, shall in any way release or reduce any

    liability of the Guarantor hereunder. References to the Contract in this Agreement

    shall include all amendments, variations and additions to it, whether made before or

    after the date hereof.

    3 This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until performance in full of the

    Terms, notwithstanding:

    3.1 the insolvency or liquidation of the Contractor, the Guarantor or any other

    person;

    3.2 any disclaimer of the Contract by a liquidator of the Contractor; and/or any

    feature of the Contract, the negotiations prior to the Contractor and the

    Employer entering into the Contract, or the performance of the Contract,

    making it ineffective or unenforceable.

    4 Until the Terms have been unconditionally and irrevocably performed in full the

    Guarantor shall not by virtue of any performance or payment made by it or otherwise:

    4.1 be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held or received or receivable

    by the Employer; or

    4.2 be entitled to exercise any right of contribution from any co-surety in respect

    of such performance and liabilities under any other guarantee, security or

    agreement; or

    4.3 exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim against the Contractor or any

    such co-surety; or

  • AP/asb 07.07.2005 FIDIC Green Book Std. (3) 23

    4.4 receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution, security or

    indemnity from the Contractor or any such co-surety; or

    4.5 unless so directed by the Employer (when the Guarantor will prove, and turn

    over any realisations to the Employer, in accordance with such directions)

    claim as a creditor of the Contractor or any such co-surety in competition

    with the Employer.

    5 No delay or omission of the Employer in exercising any right, power or privilege

    hereunder shall impair such right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of

    such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such

    right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any

    other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Employer herein

    provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

    6 A waiver given or consent granted by the Employer under this guarantee will be

    effective only if given in writing and then only in the instance and for the purpose for

    which it is given.

    7.1 If at any time any one or more of the provisions of this guarantee is or becomes

    invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality

    and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way affected

    or impaired thereby.

    7.2 As a separate and alternative stipulation the Guarantor unconditionally and

    irrevocably agrees that any sum expressed to be payable by it or obligation to be

    performed by it under this guarantee but which is for any reason (whether or not now

    existing and whether or not now known or becoming known to the Guarantor) not

    recoverable from or enforceable against the Guarantor on the basis of a guarantee

    shall nevertheless be recoverable from or enforceable against the Guarantor as if the

    Guarantor were the sole principal debtor or obligor (where relevant).
