WHEREAS

– By an agreement (hereinafter called the "Finance Contract") signed in Ljubljana on 19 May 2011 between the Bank and Eko sklad, Slovenski okoljski javni sklad (Eco Fund), hereinafter called the “Borrower”), the Bank has agreed to establish in favour of the Borrower a credit in a principal amount of EUR 50,000,000.00 (fifty million euros) to be used to co-finance a number of small and medium sized environmental investments carried out in Slovenia by municipalities, public and private companies and individual households (hereinafter called the "Projects" or individually the “Project”). The supported Projects will focus mainly on energy efficiency and renewable energy and will moreover target water conservation/recycling, water supply and wastewater collection and treatment, and waste management, as more particularly described in the Technical Description set out in Schedule A.1 of the Finance Contract.

– Execution of this Guarantee Agreement has been authorised by the Parliament of the Republic of Slovenia and a certified English translation of the relevant provisions of the relevant law is attached hereto as Annex I.

request other than the reason for the demand

under this Guarantee Agreement. In particular,

in izterja celotno poplačilo po tej poroštveni

pogodbi, oziroma na to pravico ne vplivajo.

banke izpolnil svoje obveznosti ob vsaki taki

posebna dokazila v podporo njeni zahtevi, razen

razloga za zahtevo po tej poroštveni pogodbi.

Predvsem pa banki ni treba dokazovati, da je

sprožila kakršen koli postopek proti

kreditojemalcu; pred uveljavitvijo poroštva po

finančne pogodbe).

4. člen

Ta zakon začne veljati petnajsti dan po objavi v Uradnem listu Republike Slovenije – Mednarodne pogodbe.
