Restricted Payments, etc Sample Clauses
The 'Restricted Payments' clause limits a party’s ability to make certain payments, such as dividends, distributions, or transfers of assets, to shareholders or affiliates. Typically, this clause applies to borrowers in loan agreements, preventing them from using company funds for non-business purposes or to benefit insiders without lender approval. Its core function is to protect creditors by ensuring that the company retains sufficient assets to meet its obligations, thereby reducing the risk of asset stripping or financial weakening.
