Additional Covenant Defeasance Clause Samples

The Additional Covenant Defeasance clause allows a borrower or issuer to be released from certain restrictive covenants in a debt agreement, typically after meeting specific conditions such as depositing sufficient funds or government securities to cover future payments. In practice, this means that once the required financial arrangements are made, the issuer is no longer bound by obligations like maintaining certain financial ratios or restrictions on asset sales, though the core payment obligations may remain. This clause provides flexibility to the issuer and can make the debt instrument more attractive to investors by clarifying the circumstances under which covenants can be lifted, thereby reducing ongoing compliance burdens once the debt is effectively secured.
