LIMITATION LIENS Sample Clauses

The Limitation Liens clause restricts the ability of parties to place or enforce liens on certain property or assets related to the contract. Typically, this clause specifies which assets are protected from liens, such as the owner's property or project site, and may require contractors or suppliers to ensure that their subcontractors and vendors do not file liens. Its core function is to protect the property owner from legal claims or encumbrances that could arise from unpaid debts or disputes, thereby ensuring the project proceeds without the risk of property being tied up by third-party claims.
LIMITATION LIENS. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind, except for Permitted Liens, upon any of their respective assets or properties, whether now owned or acquired after the date of this Indenture, or any income or profits therefrom to secure any Pari Passu Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness, unless prior to or contemporaneously therewith the Notes are directly secured equally and ratably, provided that (1) if such secured indebtedness is Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Lien securing such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be subordinate and junior to, or PARI PASSU with, the Lien securing the Notes and (2) if such secured indebtedness is Subordinated Indebtedness, the Lien securing such Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subordinate and junior to the Lien securing the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes. The foregoing covenant will not apply to any Lien securing Acquired Indebtedness, provided that any such Lien extends only to the properties or assets that were subject to such Lien prior to the related acquisition by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and was not created, incurred or assumed in contemplation of such transaction.
