Negative Pledge Covenants Clause Samples

A Negative Pledge Covenant is a contractual provision that restricts a borrower from granting security interests over certain assets to other creditors. In practice, this means the borrower cannot pledge, mortgage, or otherwise encumber specified assets as collateral for new debt without the consent of the original lender. For example, a company with a negative pledge in its loan agreement cannot use its property to secure another loan from a different bank. The core function of this clause is to protect the lender’s position by preventing the borrower from taking on secured debt that could rank ahead of or equal to the lender’s claim, thereby reducing the lender’s risk of not being repaid.
