Fixed Charge Covenant Sample Clauses
A Fixed Charge Covenant is a contractual provision that requires a borrower to maintain a minimum ratio of earnings to fixed financial obligations, such as interest and lease payments. This clause typically obligates the borrower to ensure that their cash flow is sufficient to cover these fixed charges, often measured on a quarterly or annual basis. By imposing this requirement, the clause helps lenders manage credit risk by ensuring the borrower remains financially stable and capable of meeting ongoing debt service obligations.
