The Oregon Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement is a legally binding contract that provides assurances to lenders that a subsidiary company will guarantee the debts and obligations of a parent or affiliated company within the state of Oregon. This agreement serves to protect the interests of the lender by ensuring that if the parent or affiliated company fails to meet its financial obligations, the subsidiary company will step in to fulfill those obligations. In the state of Oregon, there are different types of Subsidiary Guaranty Agreements based on the specific circumstances and requirements of the parties involved. These may include: 1. Unlimited Guaranty: This type of agreement holds the subsidiary company fully liable for all debts and obligations of the parent or affiliated company. It means that if the parent company defaults, the subsidiary company will be responsible for fulfilling all the financial obligations without any limitations. 2. Limited Guaranty: Unlike the unlimited guaranty, the subsidiary's liability is limited to a certain amount or specific obligations stated in the agreement. The subsidiary guarantees only a portion of the debts or specific obligations, safeguarding their financial exposure to a predetermined extent. 3. Continuing Guaranty: This agreement remains in effect until it is explicitly revoked or terminated by either party. It ensures that the subsidiary company's guarantee remains valid and enforceable for a specified period or until a certain event occurs, such as full repayment of the debt. 4. Limited Duration Guaranty: In contrast to the continuing guaranty, this type of agreement has a specific end date or event triggering its termination. The subsidiary's guarantee is effective only for a predetermined duration or until a specific condition is met. 5. Specific Obligation Guaranty: This type of agreement provides a subsidiary's guarantee for a specific obligation or debt rather than the entirety of the parent or affiliated company's financial obligations. The Oregon Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement is a crucial tool in securing loans or credit facilities for businesses operating in the state. Lenders often seek such guarantees to mitigate the risk associated with providing financing to companies with complex ownership structures. It serves as a financial safety net, offering reassurance to lenders that they have a secondary source of repayment in case the parent or affiliated company becomes unable to meet its obligations.
