All Group borrowings (except letters of credit) typically contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenant ratios (generally tested either quarterly or on an incurrence basis, depending on the financing type and with some exceptions). The borrowing entity may also voluntarily prepay its utilizations and/or cancel all or part of the available commitments on its term loans and facilities by giving notice. Mandatory cancellation and full or partial prepayment may be required in certain circumstances including events of default. The majority of borrowings are supported by intercompany guarantees or secured by pledges over certain assets.
