Disqualified Institutions definition
Disqualified Institutions means those Persons (the list of all such Persons, the “Disqualified Institutions List”) that are (i) identified in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent prior to the initial allocation of the Loans to be funded on the Closing Date, (ii) competitors of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than bona fide fixed income investors or debt funds) that are either (a) identified in writing by the Borrower from time to time or (b) clearly identifiable on the basis of such Affiliate’s name or (iii) Affiliates of such Persons set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above (in the case of Affiliates of such Persons set forth in clause (ii) above, other than bona fide fixed income investors or debt funds) that are identified in writing by the Borrower from time to time; provided, that, to the extent Persons are identified as Disqualified Institutions in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii)(a), the inclusion of such Persons as Disqualified Institutions shall not retroactively apply to prior assignments or participations in respect of any Loan under this Agreement. Until the disclosure of the identity of a Disqualified Institution to the Lenders generally by the Administrative Agent in writing, such Person shall not constitute a Disqualified Institution for purposes of a sale of a participation in a Loan (as opposed to an assignment of a Loan) by a Lender; provided, that no disclosure of the Disqualified Institutions List (or the identity of any Person that constitutes a Disqualified Institution), in part or in full, to the Lenders shall be made by the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may from time to time in its sole discretion remove any entity from the Disqualified Institutions List (or otherwise modify such list to exclude any particular entity), and such entity removed or excluded from the Disqualified Institutions List shall no longer be a Disqualified Institution for any purpose under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Disqualified Institutions shall exclude any Person that the Borrower has designated as no longer being a “Disqualified Institution” by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Person who becomes a Disqualified Institution after the date on which it entered into a binding agreement to purchase all or a portion of the rights and obligations of an assigning Lender, such Person shall not retroactively be disqualified from being or becoming a Lender.
Disqualified Institutions means (a) those banks, financial institutions or other Persons separately identified in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on or prior to May 31, 2016, or as the Borrower and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall mutually agree after such date and prior to the Closing Date, or to any affiliates of such banks, financial institutions or other persons identified by the Borrower in writing or that are readily identifiable as affiliates on the basis of their name, (b) competitors identified in writing to the Administrative Agent from time to time (or affiliates thereof identified by the Borrower in writing or that are readily identifiable as affiliates on the basis of their name) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than such affiliate that is a bona fide debt fund or an investment vehicle that is engaged in the making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business and whose managers have fiduciary duties to the third-party investors in such fund or investment vehicle independent from their duties owed to such competitor); provided that no such identification after the date of a relevant assignment shall apply retroactively to disqualify any person that has previously acquired an assignment or participation of an interest in any of the Credit Facilities with respect to amounts previously acquired, (c) Excluded Affiliates (it being understood that ordinary course trading activity shall not be considered to be providing advisory services for purposes of determining whether such Excluded Affiliate is a Disqualified Institution) and (d) any Defaulting Lender. The list of all Disqualified Institutions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (d) shall be made available to all Lenders upon request.
Examples of Disqualified Institutions in a sentence
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 13.6 (other than attempted assignments or transfers to Disqualified Institutions, which shall be null and void as provided above).
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation with respect to, and shall bear no responsibility or liability for, the monitoring or enforcing of the list of Persons who are Disqualified Institutions (or any provisions relating thereto) at any time and (ii) the Administrative Agent may share a list of Persons who are Disqualified Institutions with any Lender upon request.
