| awoption | Negative covenants place direct restrictions on management actions and thus play a more significant role than affirmative covenants in loan agreements |
| Toni | - Def Technical Default - Affirmative Covenants - Negative Covenets more significant than affirmative because place restrictions |
| kofi | def. B cos no where does it give specifics abt loans. |
| Shalva | There is no evidence whether are negative covenants more important or not. Also, I don't think that these types of covenanats are comparable at all. But answ. B is true, because there is also no evidence to the contrary |
