Extract - What is Cross Default


Cross default is a provision in a bond indenture or loan agreement that puts a
borrower in default if the borrower defaults on another obligation. For instance, a
cross-default clause in a loan agreement may say that a person automatically
defaults on his car loan if he defaults on his mortgage. The cross-default
provision exists to protect the interest of lenders, who desire to have equal rights
to a borrower's assets in case of default on one of the loan contracts.
