Assignment by the Lenders Clause Samples
The "Assignment by the Lenders" clause defines the conditions under which lenders may transfer their rights and obligations under a loan agreement to third parties. Typically, this clause outlines whether lenders can assign their interests freely or if they require the borrower’s consent, and may specify any restrictions or procedures for such assignments, such as providing notice or meeting certain qualifications for assignees. Its core practical function is to provide flexibility for lenders to manage their loan portfolios while ensuring that borrowers are protected from unexpected or unsuitable new lenders.
Assignment by the Lenders. Each Lender will have the right to sell or assign, in minimum portions of $5,000,000, such Lender's Individual Commitment Amount to one or more financial institutions with the consent of the Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Fronting Lender and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower, each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and further provided that at and after the time of the assignment, the Borrower will not be under any obligation to pay, by way of withholding tax or otherwise, any greater amount (other than the Discount Rate for Bankers' Acceptances) than it would have been obliged to pay if the Lender had not made an assignment and provided further, that each remaining Lender will at all times maintain an Individual Commitment Amount in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to $5,000,000, except to the extent the assignment is of a Lender's entire Individual Commitment Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may sell or assign its Individual Commitment Amount to an Affiliate thereof without the consent of the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Fronting Lenders or the Borrower if (a) such Lender remains liable for its obligations under the Documents notwithstanding such sale or assignment, and (b) the Borrower will not be under any obligation to pay, by way of withholding tax or otherwise, any greater amount than it would have been obliged to pay if the Lender had not made such sale or assignment. An assignment fee of $3,500 for each such assignment (other than to an Affiliate) will be payable to the Agent by the assignor Lender, other than in respect of an assignment by the Agent. In the event of such sale or assignment, the Borrower will execute and deliver all such agreements, documents and instruments as the Agent or Lender may reasonably request to effect and recognize such syndication, participation, sale or assignment.
