hard · Corporate Credit Analysis covenants

In a 'Double-Dip' or 'Uptiering' transaction, why might non-participating lenders be particularly worried about cross-default provisions?

  1. Because the new 'super-priority' debt will likely contain cross-default triggers designed to prime their existing claims and collateral.
  2. Because if the borrower defaults on the new super-priority debt, it will automatically trigger a default on their own debt via cross-default.
  3. Because they may find themselves forced by intense market pressure to accelerate their own debt before they are truly financially ready.
  4. Because cross-default clauses tend to increase the loan's 'effective life' calculation by extending its overall amortization and full repayment profile.
