Call Protection Clause Samples
Call protection is a contractual provision that restricts the issuer of a callable security, such as a bond, from redeeming it before a specified date. Typically, this period lasts for several years after issuance, during which the issuer cannot exercise their right to call, or repurchase, the security from investors. By providing this protection, the clause ensures that investors receive a predictable stream of interest payments and are shielded from the risk of early redemption, which could occur if interest rates decline and the issuer seeks to refinance at a lower cost.

Any Prepayment Premium payable under the terms of this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, and Borrowers agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR ACCELERATION. Borrowers expressly agree (to the fullest extent that they may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the the...
