The Massachusetts Credit Agreement between Unilab Corp, Various Lending Institutions, Bankers Trust Co, and Merrill Lynch Capital Corp is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions for extending credit to Unilab Corp by the aforementioned lending institutions. It provides a detailed framework for the borrowing and lending relationship, ensuring transparency and accountability for all parties involved. The agreement establishes the borrowing capacity of Unilab Corp and sets forth the conditions under which the funds can be accessed. It specifies the interest rates, repayment schedule, and any fees associated with the credit facility. The agreement also outlines the rights and responsibilities of both Unilab Corp and the lending institutions, ensuring that all parties understand their obligations. In addition to the general Massachusetts Credit Agreement, there may be different types or variations specific to this agreement: 1. Revolving Credit Agreement: This type of agreement allows Unilab Corp to borrow up to a predetermined credit limit, repay the borrowed amount, and then borrow again within the credit limit. It provides flexibility to Unilab Corp in managing its short-term financing needs. 2. Term Loan Credit Agreement: Unlike a revolving credit agreement, a term loan credit agreement provides Unilab Corp with a lump sum loan amount that is to be repaid over a specified period. The interest rates and repayment terms are generally fixed for the duration of the loan. 3. Syndicated Credit Agreement: In cases where the credit requirement is substantial, several lending institutions may come together to form a syndicate. They collectively provide the credit facility to Unilab Corp as per the terms outlined in the syndicated credit agreement. This allows for a larger credit line and distributes the risk among multiple lenders. It is important for all parties involved to carefully review and understand the Massachusetts Credit Agreement. Legal counsel may be sought to ensure compliance with state laws and to protect the rights and interests of Unilab Corp, the lending institutions, Bankers Trust Co, and Merrill Lynch Capital Corp.
