Credit Facility & Revolving Line Agreement
A Credit Facility & Revolving Line Agreement defines the terms for ongoing credit access between borrower and lender. This playbook reviews financial covenants, interest structures, and default remedies.
Conditions Precedent
Negotiation strategy
The Buyer should focus on ensuring that all conditions precedent are essential and directly related to the transaction's success. Negotiate for clear timelines and waiver options to maintain flexibility.
The Seller should aim to limit conditions precedent to those that are necessary and achievable within a reasonable timeframe. Advocate for specific language to avoid broad interpretations that could delay closing.
Essential elements

Regulatory Approvals
Specify required regulatory approvals.
2
Material Adverse Change
Define criteria for adverse change.
3
Waiver Mechanisms

Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits when conditions are non-essential or timelines are unclear.
EDIT
Reject clauses that impose unrealistic or unnecessary conditions.
ADD

Real-world examples
FAVORABLE

"The conditions precedent to closing shall be limited to essential items, with a definitive timeline for fulfillment and a clear waiver mechanism."
NEUTRAL
Standard Conditions Precedent

Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, conditions precedent should be more stringent to protect against unforeseen issues. Ensure comprehensive documentation and evidence are required.
Cross-Border Transactions
For cross-border deals, additional regulatory approvals may be necessary. Clearly outline these requirements and adjust timelines accordingly.
Start-Up Acquisitions
In start-up acquisitions, focus on conditions that ensure the target's financial stability and operational continuity post-closing.
