Alternate Transactions Clause Samples
The Alternate Transactions clause defines the rights and procedures for parties to pursue or accept alternative deals if the primary transaction does not proceed. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which a party may negotiate, enter into, or accept a transaction with a different counterparty, often after a specified event such as a failed closing or unmet conditions. Its core function is to provide flexibility and a clear process for seeking other opportunities, thereby reducing uncertainty and potential losses if the original agreement cannot be completed.
Alternate Transactions. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Sellers’ right to pursue one or more Alternate Transactions (as defined below), including marketing Sellers’ assets (including the Acquired Assets) or providing due diligence materials prior to entry of the Bidding Procedures Order; provided, however, that, after entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Sellers may pursue such Alternate Transactions solely to the extent permitted and on the terms set forth therein.

None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement that would prohibit it from providing such information to the Backstop Parties.
