As a general rule, there are “standard” trading points that are advanced by borrowers, for example. B a standard definition of major adverse amendments/effects generally refers to the effect that may affect the debtor`s ability to meet his obligations under the facility contract. The borrower may attempt to limit this obligation to his own obligations (and not to other obligations), the borrower`s payment obligations and (sometimes) his financial obligations. For more information on the Cannais provisions of facilitated contracts, visit the Loan Markets Association or the Association of Corporate Treasure. The existence of a union does not affect certain provisions of an ease agreement. For example, there will also be a definition of “majority lenders” that is required for approval for certain measures. It is normal for this definition to amount to two-thirds of syndicated banks based on the amount of their interest in the loan. The borrower should ensure that all unionized banks are “qualifying banks” for the above reasons, and once again, an appropriate guarantee may be appropriate. Representations and guarantees: these should be carefully considered in all transactions.

It should be noted, however, that the purpose of insurance and guarantees in a facility agreement differs from its purpose in purchase and sale contracts. The lender will not attempt to sue the borrower for breach of representation and guarantee – instead, it will use an infringement as a mechanism to call a default event and/or ask for repayment of the loan. A disclosure letter is therefore not required with respect to insurance and guarantees in the facility agreements. Interest is due at the end of each interest period, interest periods may be fixed periods (usually one, three or six months) or the borrower can choose the interest period for each loan (the options are usually one, three or six months). There are many definitions in each facility agreement, but most are either standard – and generally uncontested – or specifically for individual transactions. They should be carefully considered and, if necessary, carefully considered using the lender`s offer letter/offer sheet. There will also be delay provisions for breaches of the convention itself. They may grant time for remedial action on the part of a borrower and, in any event, apply only to substantial infringements or violations of the main provisions of the agreement.

The provision for non-payment usually includes additional time to cover administrative or technical difficulties. Insolvency defaults should also provide reasonable time frames and include appropriate waivers for solvent restructurings, with the lender`s agreement. Default events: These will be voluminous.
