Governing Entity Clause Samples

Governing Entity. Some blockchain systems are governed by a legal entity, as is described in Section 5.2. This legal entity can be an existing company that acts as the linchpin of the ecosystem, such as Walmart for a supply chain blockchain implementation. The existing entity can also be a government agency (e.g.- the government of Venezuela). Sometimes a consortium is a blockchain’s governing body. Consortiums have been around for decades and are the entity of choice for creating industry technology standards such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Blockchains can also be governed by a joint venture between participating companies. When there is a legal entity governing a blockchain, there are two levels of governance. At the highest level there is the entity’s board of directors which, in corporate law, has the ultimate decision-making power for the entity. The governing layer below the board of directors is the consensus node operators. Since consensus nodes are mostly operated by companies that are approved by, yet independent from, the blockchain’s governing entity there is often governance amongst the consensus nodes as well. The process of approving a transaction to be added to the chain is a governance process, albeit one that is often embedded in the blockchain’s software (the consensus protocol). The governing entity may require consensus node operators to contractually follow any decisions made by the board of directors as a condition of hosting a consensus node.

With respect to any proposed amendment, modification or change to any Constituent Document, the Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of such proposal. Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole reasonable discretion (that is, the determination of the other Lenders shall not be required) on Administrative Agent’s good faith belief, whether such proposed amendment, modification or change to such Constituent Document is a Material Amendment, and shall notify the Borrower of its determination within (a) for amendments, modifications or changes proposed prior to the Final Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Operating Agreement), five (5) Business Days, and (b) for amendments, modifications or changes proposed after the Final Closing Date, ten (10) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification pursuant to Section 13.07.

If a Lender has not responded to such request for approval within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such proposed amendment. If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is not a Material Amendment, the applicable Borrower Party may make such amendment without the consent of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of Administrative Agent or the Lenders, a Borrower Party may amend its Constituent Documents: (i) to admit new Investors to the extent permitted by this Credit Agreement; (ii) to reflect transfers of interests permitted by this Credit Agreement; and (iii) to facilitate the formation, operation and qualification of such Borrower Party as a RIC (to the extent not in conflict with the restrictions hereunder or otherwise materially adverse to the Lenders).
