Covenants

Implications
Legally binding agreements or clauses in a contract, often found in loan agreements or bonds, that impose certain obligations or restrictions on the borrower or issuer, designed to protect the interests of the lender or investor.
Example
Example: A company agrees to financial covenants in its loan agreement that require it to maintain a minimum level of working capital and limit additional borrowing, ensuring it remains financially stable.
Related Terms
