9Successor Agent Clause Samples

The 'Successor Agent' clause defines the process for appointing a new agent if the current agent resigns, is removed, or is otherwise unable to fulfill their duties. Typically, this clause outlines who has the authority to select the successor, the procedures for notification, and any qualifications or requirements the new agent must meet. Its core practical function is to ensure continuity in agency responsibilities, preventing disruptions in the administration or management of the agreement due to changes in the agent's status.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but ​ ​ ​ shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the applicable qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
