Whereas the Guarantor and SLOVENSKE ŽELEZNICE p.o. (the "Borrower"), have requested assistance from the Bank in the financing of part of the Project;
whereas by a loan agreement of even date herewith between the Bank and the Borrower (the "Loan Agreement"), the Bank has agreed to extend to the Borrower a loan in the amount of fifteen million two hundred thousand Dollars (USD 15,200.000) and sixty million three hundred Deutsche marks (DM 60,300.000) (the "Loan"), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, but only on condition that the Guarantor agrees to guarantee the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such loan as provided in this Agreement; and whereas the Guarantor, in consideration of the Bank's entering into the Loan Agreement with the Borrower, has so agreed to guarantee such obligations of the Borrower;
now therefore, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.01. Definitions.
Whenever used in this Agreement the terms defined in the Preamble to this Agreement or in the Loan Agreement have the meanings ascribed therein, and the following terms have the meanings:

"lien" includes mortgages, pledges, charges, privileges and priorities of any kind; and

"public assets" means property, revenue or claims of any kind of the Guarantor, of any political or administrative subdivision thereof and of any entity owned or controlled by, or operating for the account or benefit of, the Guarantor or any such subdivision, including gold and other foreign exchange assets held by any institution performing the functions of a central bank or exchange stabilisation fund, or similar functions for the Guarantor.

Section 1.02. Headings
The headings and the Table of Contents are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not form part of this Agreement.

Section 2.01. Guarantee
(a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety merely, the due and punctual payment of any and all sums due under the Loan Agreements, whether at stated maturity or upon prematuring, and the punctual performance of all other obligations of the Borrower, all as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
(b) The Guarantor shall ensure that no action which would prevent or interfere with the execution of the Project or with the efficient operation of the Project facilities or the performance of the Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement is taken or permitted to be taken by the Guarantor or any of its political or administrative subdivisions or any of the entities owned or controlled by, or operating for the account or benefit of, the Guarantor or such subdivisions.
Section 2.02. Project Completion
The Guarantor covenants that whenever there is reasonable cause to believe that the funds available to the Borrower will be inadequate to meet the estimated expenditures required for the carrying out of the Project, the Guarantor will take all necessary measures to ensure timely completion of the Project.
Section 2.03. Public Service Obligations; Contracts with the Borrower
The Guarantor undertakes to cause MTC to enter into annual contracts with the Borrower and maintain all necessary arrangements concerning Public Service Obligations, payments to the Borrower for maintenance and modernisation of track infrastructure and combined transport, and to fulfil such obligations beginning with the 1994 programme.

Section 3.01. Financial and Economic Data
(a) The Guarantor shall furnish to the Bank all such information as the Bank shall reasonably request:
(1) with respect to financial and economic conditions in its territory, including its balance of payments and its external debt as well as that of its political or administrative subdivisions and of any entity owned or controlled by, or operating for the account or benefit of, the Guarantor or any such subdivision, and of any institution performing the functions of a central bank or exchanged stabilisation fund, or similar functions, for the Guarantor; and
(2) with respect to proposals to implement economic reforms, including proposed measures for privatisation, in the railways sector which may have an impact on the Project, including reforms in the legal or regulatory framework for such sector.
(b) The Guarantor shall afford all reasonable opportunity for representatives of the Bank to visit any part of its territory for purposes related to the Loan or the Project.
Section 3.02. Negative Pledge
(a) The Guarantor undertakes to ensure that no other external debt shall have priority over the Loan in the allocation, realisation or distribution of foreign exchange held under the control or for the benefit of the Guarantor. If any lien shall be created on any public assets as security for any external debt, or any arrangement having an equivalent effect, which will or might result in a priority for the benefit of the creditor of the external debt in the allocation, realisation or distribution of foreign exchange, the lien shall, unless the Bank shall otherwise agree, ipso facto, and at no cost to the Bank, equally and rateably secure the principal of, and the interest and other charges on, the Loan, and the Guarantor, in creating or permitting the creation of such lien, shall make express provision to that effect; provided, however, that, if for any constitutional or other legal reason such provision cannot be made with respect to any lien created on assets of any of its political or administrative subdivisions, the Guarantor shall promptly and at no cost to the Bank secure the principal of, and the interest and other charges on, the Loan by an equivalent lien on other public assets satisfactory to the Bank.
(b) The foregoing undertaking shall not apply to:
(1) any lien created on property, at the time of purchase thereof, solely as security for payment of the purchase price of that property or as security for the payment of debt incurred for the purpose of financing the purchase of such property; and
(2) any lien arising in the ordinary course of banking transactions and securing a debt maturing not more than one year after its date.

Section 4.01. Discharge by Performance and Preservation of Rights
Except as provided in Section 4.02, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. Such obligations shall not require any prior notice to, demand upon or action against the Borrower or any prior notice to or demand upon the Guarantor with regard to any default by the Borrower. Such obligations shall not be impaired by any of the following:
(a) any extension of time, forbearance or concession given to the Borrower;
(b) any assertion of, or failure to assert, or delay in asserting, any right, power or remedy against the Borrower or in respect of any security for the Loan;
(c) any modification or amplification of the provisions of the Loan Agreement contemplated by the terms thereof; or
(d) any failure of the Borrower to comply with any requirement of any law of the Guarantor.
Section 4.02. Termination Upon Payment
If the Borrower shall have failed to make payment of principal or interest or any other payment required under the Loan Agreement (otherwise than as a result of any act or omission to act of the Guarantor) and such payment shall have been made by the Guarantor, the Guarantor may, after consultation with the Bank, by notice to the Bank and the Borrower, terminate its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement with respect to any Available Amount on the date of receipt of such notice by the Bank and not subject to any unconditional Reimbursement Commitment entered into by the Bank pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Loan Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice by the Bank, such obligations in respect of such amount shall terminate.

Z ozirom na to, da sta garant in SLOVENSKE ŽELEZNICE p.o. (posojilojemalec) zaprosila za pomoč pri banki za financiranje dela projekta;
z ozirom na to, da se je banka s posojilno pogodbo med banko in posojilojemalcem (Posojilna pogodba) z enakim datumom, kot je ta pogodba, dogovorila, da nudi posojilojemalcu posojilo v znesku petnajst milijonov dvesto tisoč dolarjev (USD 15,200.000) in šestdeset milijonov tristo tisoč nemških mark (DM 60,300.000) (posojilo) pod pogoji in določili, navedenimi v Posojilni pogodbi, toda samo pod pogojem, da se garant strinja, da garantira obveznosti posojilojemalca v okviru posojila, kot je določeno v tej pogodbi; in
z ozirom na to, da se je garant dogovoril, da bo garantiral obveznosti posojilojemalca, če bo banka sklenila s posojilojemalcem posojilno pogodbo;
se zato zdaj stranke sporazumejo takole:

Poglavje 1.01 Definicije

Poglavje 1.02 Naslovi
Naslovi in Vsebina so vključeni samo za namen lažjega iskanja in niso del te pogodbe

Poglavje 2.01 Garancija
(a) Garant s tem brezpogojno jamči, kot prvi zavezanec in ne samo kot porok, za točna in pravočasna plačila vsakega in vseh zneskov, dolžnih v okviru Posojilne pogodbe, ali ob navedeni zapadlosti ali ob prezgodnji zapadlosti, in za vse druge obveznosti posojilojemalca, kot jih določa Posojilna pogodba.
(b) Garant mora zagotoviti, da ne bo izvršil ali dovolil, da se izvrši, ne z njegove strani ne s strani katerekoli njegove politične ali administrativne podenote ali kateregakoli subjekta, ki je v lasti ali v upravi ali deluje na račun in v korist garanta ali njegovih podenot, nobenega takega dejanja, ki bi preprečilo ali nasprotovalo izvršitvi projekta ali učinkovitemu delovanju projektnih objektov ali izvrševanju posojilojemalčevih obveznosti v okviru pogodbe.
Poglavje 2.02 Izvršitev projekta
Garant se obveže, da bo ukrenil vse potrebno, da bo zagotovil pravočasno izvršitev projekta, kadarkoli bo obstajal upravičen razlog za mnenje, da sredstva, ki jih ima posojilojemalec na razpolago, ne bodo zadoščala za ocenjene izdatke za izvajanje projekta.
Poglavje 2.03 Obveznosti javnih storitev; pogodbe s posojilojemalcem
Garant se obveže, da bo skrbel, da bo Ministrstvo za promet in zveze sklepalo letne pogodbe s posojilojemalcem in skrbelo za urejanje vseh obveznosti glede javnih storitev, plačil posojilojemalcu za vzdrževanje in modernizacijo infrastrukture in kombiniranega transporta, in za izpolnjevanje vseh takšnih obveznosti, ki se začnejo s programom za leto 1994.

Poglavje 3.01 Finančni in ekonomski podatki
(a) Garant mora banki predložiti vse takšne informacije, ki jih banka lahko upravičeno zahteva:
(1) z ozirom na finančno in ekonomsko stanje na njegovem ozemlju, vključno s plačilno bilanco in njegovim zunanjim dolgom, kot tudi z dolgovi njegovih političnih ali upravnih podenot ali subjektov v lasti ali upravi garanta ali takih, ki delujejo na račun in v korist garanta, ali kakršnikoli takšnih podenot in s katerokoli ustanovo, ki opravlja funkcijo centralne banke ali deviznega stabilizacijskega fonda ali podobne funkcije za garanta; in
(2) z ozirom na predloge za realizacijo gospodarskih reform, vključno s predlaganimi ukrepi za privatizacijo v železniškem sektorju, kar bi lahko vplivalo na projekt, vključno z reformami v pravnem ali upravnem okviru za ta sektor.
(b) Garant mora zagotoviti vse ustrezne možnosti, da predstavniki banke obiščejo katerikoli del njegovega ozemlja za namene v zvezi s posojilom ali projektom.
Poglavje 3.02 Negativno jamstvo
(a) Garant se obveže, da bo zagotovil, da noben drug zunanji dolg ne bo imel prioritete nad tem posojilom pri dodelitvi, realizaciji ali razdelitvi deviz, s katerimi upravlja garant ali s katerimi se upravlja v korist garanta. Če bi katerakoli pravica do zaplembe nastala na kateremkoli javnem sredstvu kot varščina za neki zunanji dolg ali kakršenkoli dogovor z enakim učinkom, ki bo ali bi lahko imel za posledico prioriteto v korist nekega zunanjega upnika pri dodelitvi, realizaciji ali razdelitvi deviz, ta pravica do zaplembe, če se banka drugače ne dogovori, ipso facto, in ne na stroške banke, enako in sorazmerno zavaruje tudi glavnico, obresti in druge obveznosti posojila, in garant mora pri oblikovanju in odobritvi takšne pravice do zaplembe v zvezi s tem postaviti tudi določbo s takšnim učinkom. V primeru, da zaradi nekega ustavnega ali drugega pravnega razloga taka določba ni možna v zvezi s pravico do zaplembe na sredstva katerekoli njegove politične ali upravne podenote, mora garant pravočasno in ne na stroške banke zagotoviti glavnico, obresti in druge obveznosti na posojilo z enakovredno pravico do zaplembe na nekem drugem javnem sredstvu, s katerim se banka strinja.
(b) Prej navedena obveznost se ne nanaša na:
(1) pravico do zaplembe na lastnini ob času nakupa le-te, samo kot varščine za plačilo kupne cene te lastnine ali kot varščine za plačilo dolga, nastalega za namen financiranja nakupa takšne lastnine; in
(2) pravico do zaplembe, ki nastane v običajnem teku bančnih transakcij in zavarovanju dolga, ki zapade v času ne več kot leto od njegovega datuma.

Takšnih obveznosti ne sme ovirati nobena od naslednjih zadev:
(a) podaljšanje časa, opustitev ali dovoljenje posojilojemalcu;
(b) potrditev, nepotrditev ali zakasnitev potrditve neke pravice, polnomočja ali sredstva proti posojilojemalcu ali z ozirom na neko varščino za posojilo;
(c) sprememba ali razširitev določb Posojilne pogodbe, ki se pričakujejo pod temi pogoji; ali
(d) nesposobnost posojilojemalca, da izpolni zahteve kateregakoli zakona garanta.
Poglavje 4.02 Prenehanje po plačilu
Če posojilojemalec ne bi plačal glavnice ali obresti ali nekega drugega plačila, ki se zahteva v okviru Posojilne pogodbe (ne kot rezultat nekega dejanja ali opustitve nekega dejanja garanta) in bi tako plačilo izvršil garant, lahko garant po posvetovanju z banko z obvestilom banki in posojilojemalcu prekine svoje obveznosti v okviru garancijske pogodbe z ozirom na vsak razpoložljivi znesek na datum, ko banka takšno obvestilo sprejme, in neodvisno od vsake brezpogojne obveznosti plačila, za katero se je banka obvezala v skladu s členom 2.06 Posojilne pogodbe. Ko banka prejme takšno obvestilo, takšne obveznosti z ozirom na takšne zneske prenehajo.

Poglavje 5.01 Davki
Ta pogodba, posojilna pogodba in vsaka dopolnilna pogodba, ki se nanaša na to, med strankami te pogodbe ali posojilne pogodbe je prosta vsakega in vseh davkov, ki jih naloži garant ali se jih nalaga na ozemlju garanta na izvršitev, izročitev, registracijo ali izvajanje le-te ali v zvezi s tem.

Poglavje 6.02 Obvestila
Vsako obvestilo ali zahtevek, ki se zahteva ali se dovoli, da se ga zahteva v okviru te pogodbe, mora biti pisno.
