18.2      In respect of the guarantee given in clause 18.1, the Guarantor shall have all the limitations, rights and defences of the Purchaser hereunder and in no circumstances shall the Guarantor be liable for payment of amounts greater than the Purchaser would have been liable to pay if the Purchaser had observed and performed its obligations hereunder, other than liability for interest payable on late payment and the Seller’s reasonable costs and expenses in enforcing this guarantee.

18.3      The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that: (1) it is a company duly incorporated under the laws of the place of its incorporation and has power to enter into and perform its obligations under clause 18.1 and has all necessary authority to enter into this Agreement and guarantee the obligations of the Purchaser; (2) the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder constitute legal, valid and binding obligations on the Guarantor; and (3) entering into this Agreement will not: (i) contravene any applicable law, regulation, judgement, order or decree of any court or body having jurisdiction over the Guarantor; (ii) conflict with, or result in any breach of any of the terms of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party and the Guarantor is subject, or by which the Guarantor, or any of its property, is bound; or (iii) contravene or conflict with the provisions of the Guarantor’s Memorandum and Articles of Association or bye-laws.
