Restrictions on Dividends and Other Distributions Sample Clauses
The 'Restrictions on Dividends and Other Distributions' clause limits a company's ability to pay dividends or make other financial distributions to its shareholders. Typically, this clause sets conditions under which such payments can be made, such as requiring the company to meet certain financial ratios or obtain lender consent before distributing profits. Its core function is to protect creditors or investors by ensuring that the company maintains sufficient resources to meet its obligations, thereby reducing the risk of insolvency or financial instability caused by excessive payouts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 1005 will not prohibit the payment of any dividend within 30 days of the declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions hereof.” The amendment of Section 1005 of the Indenture relates solely to the rights of the Holders of the Notes and shall not affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. Section 1015 of the Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
