Appointment of Successor Collateral Agent Clause Samples
The Appointment of Successor Collateral Agent clause outlines the process for designating a new collateral agent when the current agent resigns, is removed, or is otherwise unable to fulfill their duties. Typically, this clause specifies who has the authority to appoint the successor—such as a majority of lenders or noteholders—and may set forth procedures or timelines for the transition. Its core practical function is to ensure continuity in the management and enforcement of collateral interests, thereby preventing disruptions or uncertainties in the administration of secured obligations.
