Restrictions on Liens, Etc Clause Samples

The "Restrictions on Liens, Etc" clause limits a party’s ability to create, assume, or permit liens or similar encumbrances on its assets. In practice, this means the party cannot pledge its property as collateral for other debts or obligations without the consent of the other party, except for certain permitted exceptions such as statutory liens or those arising in the ordinary course of business. This clause is primarily used to protect the interests of lenders or counterparties by ensuring that the assets remain unencumbered and available to satisfy obligations under the agreement, thereby reducing the risk of competing claims on those assets.
