medium · Corporate Credit Analysis covenants

In the context of credit agreement negotiations, why would a Private Equity sponsor strongly prefer 'cross-acceleration' over 'cross-default' in a TLB facility?

  1. It allows the borrower to permanently ignore payment defaults occurring on other unrelated debt facilities.
  2. It substantially lowers the interest rate margin charged on the facility due to the lender's decreased perceived risk.
  3. It provides a 'bridge' to resolve minor defaults elsewhere without losing control of the entire capital structure.
  4. It completely eliminates the materiality threshold requirement that would otherwise apply to other outstanding indebtedness.
