Restructuring and the effects of the stay for secured creditors in general Sample Clauses

Restructuring and the effects of the stay for secured creditors in general. On 6 October 2020, the Dutch Senate (Eerste Xxxxx der Staten-Generaal) adopted a bill of an act regarding the introduction of a pre-insolvency procedure in the Netherlands, the so-called Act on the Confirmation of Private Plans (Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord, hereafter: WHOA).83 It intends to reinforce the out-of-court debt rescheduling and restructuring process of businesses that, although they are over-indebted and at risk of insolvency, still have viable activities. The act combines elements of the UK scheme with elements of US Chapter 11 and is strongly connected to the implementation of the Restructuring Directive. The WHOA enables the debtor to request that the court orders a stay in respect of all of its creditors or any number of them.84 Creditors who are affected by the stay may not enforce their rights against assets belonging to the debtor’s estate or require the repossession of assets from the debtor without leave from the court. A temporary stay should support the negotiations on a restructuring plan. A creditor may not terminate a contract for debts that came into existence prior to the stay, solely by virtue of the fact that they were not paid by the debtor.85 The effects of ipso facto clauses are nullified, as article 373 (3) provides that the proposal of a plan is not justification for changing commitments and obligations to the debtor, for suspending performance of an obligation to the 83 For the treatment of executory contracts in insolvency, see X Xxxxx and N Vermunt, ‘National Report for the Netherlands’ in D Faber, N Vermunt, X Xxxxxxx and X xxx xxx Xxxxx, Treatment of Contracts in Insolvency (Oxford International and Comparative Insolvency Law Series 2013) 287-330. 84 Article 376 (1) WHOA. See for an elaborate analysis of the WHOA’s stay: FMJ Verstijlen, ‘Flankerende voorzieningen in de Wet homologatie onderhands akkoord ter voorkoming van faillissement’ in Het dwangakkoord buiten faillissement - Beschouwingen over het Voorontwerp Wet homologatie onderhands akkoord ter voorkoming van faillissement (Preadvies van de Vereeniging 'Handelsrecht' 2017) 99-116. debtor or for terminating an agreement concluded with the debtor To prevent misuse of the instrument by the debtor, the WHOA provides that the court may grant a request for a stay only where there is prima facie evidence that: - it is necessary to enable the debtor’s business to continue during the preparations for and negotiations on the plan; - it is in the interest of the ge...

  • Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. (b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
