Limitation on Debt Sample Clauses

A Limitation on Debt clause restricts the amount or types of debt that a party, typically a borrower or company, is permitted to incur under an agreement. This clause may set a maximum cap on total outstanding debt, prohibit certain forms of borrowing, or require lender approval before taking on additional obligations. By imposing these restrictions, the clause helps protect lenders or investors by reducing the risk of over-leverage and ensuring the financial stability of the party subject to the limitation.
