Credit Facility & Revolving Line Agreement
A Credit Facility & Revolving Line Agreement defines the terms for ongoing credit access between borrower and lender. This playbook reviews financial covenants, interest structures, and default remedies.
Covenants & Undertakings
Negotiation strategy
The Borrower should negotiate for covenants that allow operational flexibility and include carve-outs for routine business activities. Ensure compliance parameters are realistic and achievable.
The Lender should ensure covenants are clear and enforceable, focusing on risk management. Include sunset provisions to adjust or terminate covenants as needed.
Essential elements
1
Affirmative Covenants
Obligations to perform specific actions.
2
Negative Covenants
Restrictions on certain activities.
3
Sunset Provisions
Conditions for covenant termination.
Action framework

Propose edits when covenants are unclear or overly restrictive, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
EDIT
Reject covenants that impose undue restrictions or lack necessary carve-outs.
ADD
Add covenants when absent to manage performance risk and prevent disputes.
PRO TIP
Include carve-outs and sunset provisions to accommodate business needs and changes in financial conditions.

Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, covenants should be more stringent to mitigate potential losses, with clear metrics for performance evaluation.
Start-Up Ventures
For start-ups, covenants should allow greater flexibility to accommodate growth and innovation, with periodic reviews.
Financial Condition Changes
Flexibility in covenants is necessary to accommodate changes in the Borrower's financial condition, preventing undue restrictions or defaults.
