proportionate guarantees of KO or the Designated Guarantors, taken as a whole, constitute less than 100% of the KO Guarantee on a several basis; and provided, further, that, subject to Sections 4.2(d), 5.3(f) and 6.2(e) hereof, in no event shall KO be obligated under this Section 8.4 with respect to the performance or observance, after Inmex or AI shall have ceased to be a Majority Owned Subsidiary of KO, of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Inmex or AI, as the case may be; and provided, further, that for so long as Inmex or AI shall be a Majority Owned Subsidiary of KO, KO’s proportionate obligation with respect to the KO Guarantee shall not be less than its direct percentage ownership interest, if any, in Inmex or AI, as the case may be; and provided, further, that in no event shall there be more than 3 Designated Guarantors at any one time.”
