A critical clause in a loan agreement where breaching certain conditions can make the loan immediately repayable. The breaching of any covenant clause, failure to pay, failure to perform other duties and obligations, false representation and warranty, material adverse change, bankruptcy, and alienation of assets all account for events of default.
A clause in a loan agreement or bank facility stating that the loan will become repayable if there is a material change in the borrower's credit standing. The clause can be contentious because it is not always clear what constitutes a material change.
