RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS Clause Samples

The "Restrictions on Distributions and Other Distributions" clause limits a company's ability to pay out dividends, make distributions to shareholders, or transfer assets in certain circumstances. Typically, this clause applies when the company has outstanding obligations, such as loans or covenants, and may prohibit distributions if doing so would breach financial ratios or reduce the company's ability to meet its debts. Its core function is to protect creditors or other stakeholders by ensuring the company maintains sufficient resources to fulfill its obligations, thereby reducing the risk of insolvency or default.
RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) DISTRIBUTIONS ON SHARES OTHER THAN PREFERRED SHARES. Except as set forth in the next sentence, no distributions shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the shares of any class or series of shares of the Trust ranking, as to the payment of distributions, on a parity with Preferred Shares for any period unless full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid on the Preferred Shares through its most recent Distribution Payment Date. When distributions are not paid in full upon the Preferred Shares through its most recent Distribution Payment Date or upon the shares of any other class or series of shares of the Trust ranking on a parity as to the payment of distributions with Preferred Shares through their most recent respective distribution payment dates, all distributions declared upon Preferred Shares and any other such class or series of shares ranking on a parity as to the payment of distributions with Preferred Shares shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of distributions declared per share on Preferred Shares and such other class or series of shares shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated distributions per share on the Preferred Shares and such other class or series of shares bear to each other (for purposes of this sentence, the amount of distributions declared per share of Preferred Shares shall be based on the Applicable Rate for such share for the Distribution Periods during which distributions were not paid in full).
