Loan documentation.

A covenant which comes into effect only if the borrower is doing badly, measured by some pre-agreed measure or other test.

Its purpose is to allow the borrower to retain operational flexibility while its credit remains strong, but to allow the lender to impose restrictions on the borrower's flexibility when restrictions or renegotiations become appropriate.
