Negative Pledges Sample Clauses
A Negative Pledge clause restricts a borrower from granting security interests over its assets to other creditors without the consent of the lender. In practice, this means the borrower cannot use its assets as collateral for new loans or obligations, ensuring that the lender’s position is not subordinated to future secured creditors. This clause is commonly used in unsecured loan agreements to protect the lender by maintaining their priority and reducing the risk that the borrower’s assets will be encumbered, thereby preserving the lender’s ability to recover funds in the event of default.
