NEGATIVE COVENANTS Clause Samples
Negative covenants are contractual provisions that restrict one party from engaging in certain actions or behaviors. Typically found in loan agreements or business contracts, these clauses might prohibit a borrower from incurring additional debt, selling key assets, or making significant changes to business operations without the lender's consent. The core function of negative covenants is to protect the interests of the other party—often a lender or investor—by limiting activities that could increase risk or undermine the value of their investment.
