Unrestricted Subsidiaries Sample Clauses

The "Unrestricted Subsidiaries" clause defines a category of subsidiaries that are excluded from certain covenants and restrictions in a contract, typically in debt or credit agreements. This clause allows the parent company to designate specific subsidiaries as "unrestricted," meaning their assets, liabilities, and operations are not consolidated for the purposes of calculating financial ratios or compliance with restrictive covenants. For example, a company might use this clause to separate high-risk or non-core business units from its main operations, ensuring that any financial difficulties in those subsidiaries do not impact the parent company's obligations under the agreement. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility for the parent company to manage its corporate structure and risk exposure without breaching the terms of its financing arrangements.
