Addition and Release of Guaranties Clause Samples

The 'Addition and Release of Guaranties' clause governs the process by which guarantors may be added to or released from their obligations under an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions and procedures for introducing new guarantors—such as requiring written consent from the lender—or for releasing existing guarantors, often contingent on the satisfaction of certain financial or contractual milestones. Its core function is to provide flexibility in managing the parties responsible for guaranteeing obligations, while ensuring that all parties are aware of and agree to changes, thereby maintaining the integrity and enforceability of the guarantee.
