Noteholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain Conditions Sample Clauses

This clause restricts noteholders from initiating legal action to enforce the terms of the notes unless specific conditions are met. Typically, it requires that a certain percentage of noteholders must first make a formal demand to the trustee, and that the trustee must have failed to act within a set period. By imposing these prerequisites, the clause prevents individual noteholders from pursuing lawsuits independently, thereby promoting collective action and reducing the risk of frivolous or duplicative litigation.
