and remedies hereunder against Siemens Parent, the Company shall be under no obligation to pursue any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Company to pursue any rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Siemens Industry Software, Merger Subsidiary or any such other Person or to realize upon or to exercise any such right of offset shall not relieve the Guarantors of any liability hereunder.
Company shall not be obliged, before taking steps to enforce any of its rights and remedies under this Parent Company Guarantee, to make or file any claim in a bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency of Siemens Industry Software or any other Person, and the failure of the Company to so file such claim shall not affect Siemens Parent’s obligations hereunder (and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any bar to the payment, or collection, of any Guaranteed Obligations as a result of any such Proceeding shall not discharge the obligations of Siemens Parent hereunder).
Any release, discharge or settlement between Siemens Parent and Company in relation to this Parent Company Guarantee shall be conditional on no right, security, disposition or payment to Company by Siemens Parent, Siemens Industry Software or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations being avoided, set aside or ordered to be refunded under any enactment or law relating to breach of duty by any Person, bankruptcy, liquidation, administration, protection from creditors generally or insolvency or for any other reason. If any right, security, disposition or payment referred to in the preceding sentence is avoided, reduced, set aside or ordered to be refunded, Company shall be entitled subsequently to enforce this Parent Company Guarantee against Siemens Parent as if such release, discharge or settlement had not occurred and any such right, security, disposition or payment had not been given or made.
No persons other than Company shall be entitled to any rights under this Parent Company Guarantee and a person who is not a party to this Parent Company Guarantee shall not be entitled to enforce any of its terms.
If and when payable, Siemens Parent hereby agrees that the Payment Obligations will be paid to Company without set-off or counterclaim in immediately available funds denominated in U.S. Dollars in accordance with the wire instructions specified in writing by Company from time to time.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Parent Company Guarantee or otherwise (i) to the extent Parent is relieved of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations by satisfaction thereof on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement or pursuant to any other express written agreement between the Company and Siemens Industry Software, Siemens Parent shall be to the same extent relieved of its corresponding payment obligations under this Parent Company Guarantee, and (ii) Siemens Parent shall be entitled to, and shall have, any and all objections and defenses in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations that Siemens Industry Software or Merger Subsidiary are entitled to under the express terms of the Merger Agreement in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
None of the terms or provisions of this Parent Company Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by both Siemens Parent and Company (or, in the case of a waiver, by each party hereto against whom the waiver is to be effective). No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. This Parent Company Guarantee shall be binding upon Siemens Parent and shall inure to the benefit of Company. This Parent Company Guarantee and the rights or obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by Siemens Parent or Company without the written consent of the other party hereto.
