Single-Purpose Entity Sample Clauses
A Single-Purpose Entity (SPE) clause defines and restricts an entity’s activities to a specific, narrowly defined business purpose, often related to a single project or asset. In practice, this means the entity is prohibited from engaging in unrelated business operations, taking on additional debt, or merging with other companies, ensuring its assets and liabilities remain isolated. The core function of this clause is to protect parties from cross-liability risks and to enhance the financial and legal separation of the entity, thereby providing greater certainty and security for lenders and investors.
