A performance guarantee is a contractual clause that ensures one party fulfills their obligations as specified, often by providing financial assurance or a form of security. It serves to protect the other party against losses or damages if the obligations are not met satisfactorily.
The Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the due performance of the obligations of the Company under the Agreements upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Guarantee.
Performance Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to the Minister the full, prompt and complete performance of the Company’s obligations, covenants and commitments under the Agreements, and under all documents and other instruments delivered by them respectively under the Agreements (together with the Agreements referred to as the “SIF Documents”), as any one or more of the SIF Documents may be updated, amended, modified, added to, replaced, restated or supplemented from time to time before or after the date of this Performance Guarantee, and whether or not notice of any such update, amendment, modification, addition, replacement, restatement or supplement has been provided to the Guarantor (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Guarantor’s guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations or indemnity of the Minister for such Guaranteed Obligations shall not be greater than the obligations which the Company owes to the Minister under the terms and conditions of the SIF Documents and the Guarantor shall receive the benefit of all rights and defences available to the Company under the SIF Documents related to the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Representations. The Guarantor represents and warrants as follows to the Minister, as of the date of this Performance Guarantee, and acknowledges and agrees that the Minister is relying on such representations and warranties and is entitled to do so in entering into this Performance Guarantee: (a) The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; (b) The Guarantor has all necessary power, capacity and legal authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Performance Guarantee and to perform its obligations under this Performance Guarantee, and this Performance Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application limiting the enforceability of creditors’ rights, and to the fact that specific performance and injunctive relief are equitable remedies available only in the discretion of the court; and (c) neither the execution and delivery of this Performance Guarantee, nor the compliance with the terms of this Performance Guarantee by the Guarantor has resulted or will result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any instrument, agreement, commitment, covenant or other obligation to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor is bound, which breach or default would have a material adverse effect on the Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Performance Guarantee.
This Performance Guarantee shall be binding upon the undersigned, its successors and assignees and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Owners, their successors and assignees. We shall have no right to delegate nor assign any of the obligations or liabilities undertaken in this Performance Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Owners.
Additionally, pursuant to a Performance Guarantee dated as of December 16, 2014, and confirmed as of May 31, 2023, made by Wintrust in favor of Plaza Trust (“Amendment of Performance Guarantee”), Wintrust guarantees the performance of First Canada of its obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and any subsequent amendments thereto.

Performance Guarantee. (a)Hertz hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Beneficiaries, the due and punctual performance and observance by each of the Dutch Administrator, French Administrator, German Administrator and Spanish Administrator (together the “Administrators”) and each of the Servicers of its obligations under the Related Documents and of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings to be performed or observed by each of the Servicers and the Administrators under the Related Documents in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof including any agreement of the Servicers and the Administrators, in such capacity, to pay or deposit any money under the Related Documents (all such terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings to be performed or observed by the Servicers and the Administrators, in such capacity, being collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”) and the due and punctual payment by each Lessee of all amounts to be paid by each Lessee pursuant to Clause 4 (Rent and Lease Charges) and Clause 13 (Value Added Tax and Stamp Taxes) of each Master Lease (together the “Guaranteed Monies”), in each case after any applicable grace periods or notice requirements, according to the terms of the Related Documents; provided, however, that Hertz shall not be liable to make any payment or deposit in respect of a Guaranteed Obligation or the Guaranteed Monies (each, a “Guaranteed Payment Obligation”) until five Business Days following receipt by Hertz of written notice from the relevant FleetCo that such a Guaranteed Payment Obligation is due that has not been satisfied by the Servicers, the Administrators or the Lessees (as applicable). In the event that the Servicers or the Administrators shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Lessees shall fail in any manner whatsoever to pay the Guaranteed Monies when the same shall be required to be performed or observed (after any applicable grace periods and notice requirements, according to the terms of the Related Documents, and the notice requirements set forth in the preceding sentence), then Hertz will itself duly perform or observe, or cause to be duly performed or observed, such Guaranteed Obligation, or pay such Guaranteed Monies and it shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of Hertz hereunder to perform or observe any Guaranteed Obligation, or to cause such Guaranteed Obligation to be performed or observed, or to pay any Guaranteed Monies that any Beneficiary shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to Hertz (other than the notice required pursuant to the preceding sentence) or to the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee, or their successors or assigns, or have instituted any action or proceeding against Hertz or the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee, or their successors or assigns in respect thereof; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall be construed to be a waiver by Hertz of the requirement that notice be provided to Hertz with respect to each Guaranteed Payment Obligation in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Each agreement type typically has a term of 25 years from the in-service date and newer agreements provide either a 90 percent or 95 percent performance guarantee (the “Performance Guarantee Percentage”). Some pre-2017 performance guarantees could be as high as 100 percent. Sunrun does not provide a performance guarantee for systems in Hawaii with battery storage and systems in Florida. If the energy production over the term of the agreement does not meet the performance guarantee, Sunrun is to refund the difference to the Site Owner at the rate per kWh specified in the agreement.
The performance guarantee submitted by Party B shall be an irrevocable demand guarantee issued by a bank approved by Party A in accordance with Party A’s requirements (the form of the performance guarantee shall be subject to the text provided by Party A). The performance guarantee is one of the prerequisites for the payment of the contract price.
A performance guarantee is a financial instrument provided by a third party, usually a bank or an insurance company, to ensure that specific obligations under a contract are fulfilled. It serves as a risk management tool, offering protection to the party benefiting from the guarantee by ensuring compensation if the other party fails to meet their contractual commitments.
A performance guarantee should be considered in various scenarios where there’s a potential risk of non-performance or incomplete fulfillment of contractual terms. Typical situations include:
When writing a performance guarantee, ensure it includes the following key elements:

Claims must be made in writing, accompanied by evidence of the Principal’s non-performance.

A performance warranty clause is a contractual provision where the seller or service provider guarantees that their goods, services, or work will meet specified performance standards or criteria. If these standards are not met, the clause typically outlines the remedies or corrective actions that the buyer can pursue.
The "prevailing market rate" clause refers to a contractual agreement where the payment or pricing is determined based on the current average rate for similar goods or services in the relevant market at the time of the transaction or service. This clause ensures that the pricing remains fair and competitive by aligning with existing market conditions, accommodating fluctuations over the duration of the contract.
The Price Changes clause specifies the conditions under which the price of goods or services in a contract may be adjusted, including factors like market fluctuations, currency exchange rates, or cost of materials. It often outlines the notice requirements and processes for implementing such changes to ensure transparency and agreement between the parties involved.
