Liens securing Indebtedness Clause Samples

The "Liens securing Indebtedness" clause defines the conditions under which a borrower is permitted to grant liens—legal claims or security interests—on its assets to secure repayment of debt. Typically, this clause outlines what types of indebtedness may be secured by liens, sets limits on the amount or type of debt that can be secured, and may specify exceptions or carve-outs for certain transactions, such as purchase money security interests or existing liens. Its core practical function is to protect the lender by restricting the borrower's ability to encumber assets, thereby preserving the lender's priority and reducing the risk of asset dilution in the event of default.
