6.Limitation on Guarantor Liability. To the extent a Guarantor which is a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung — GmbH) or a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a GmbH as its sole general partner (Komplementär) (GmbH & Co. KG) (the “Affected German Guarantor”) guarantees Obligations under the Agreement, the parties hereto agree that enforcement of that guaranty shall be limited to the extent that such payment under this guaranty has the effect of (i) reducing the Affected German Guarantor’s Net Assets (Nettovermögen) to an amount less than its share capital (Stammkapital)(Begründung einer Unterbilanz), and , as a result, cause a violation of Section 30 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbH-Gesetz) or (ii) if its Net Assets are already an amount less than its share capital (Stammkapital), causing such Net Assets to be further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz), and, as a result, cause a violation of Section 30 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbH-Gesetz) or (iii) violating other applicable German law which may cause the managing directors of the Affected German Guarantor to be personally liable.
For purposes of this Section, “Net Assets” shall mean the assets, pursuant to Section 266 (2) (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the sum of the non-subordinated liabilities pursuant to Section 266 (3) (B), (C), (D) and (E) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch). The value of the Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with general accepted accounting principles (Grundsätze ordnungsgemäßer Buchführung) under the German Commercial Code (HGB) consistently applied by the Affected German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss) according to Section 42 German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbHG), Sections 242, 264 German Commercial Code (HGB) in the previous years.
