PRMIA 8010 Exam - Topic 4 Question 72 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRMIA's 8010 exam
Question #: 72
Topic #: 4
[All 8010 Questions]

What ensures that firms are not able to selectively default on some obligations without being considered in default on the others?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

It is the cross-default clauses in debt agreements that generally provide that a default on one obligation is considered a credit event applying to all debts of the obligor, and therefore we are able to deal with credit risk at the borrower level, and not at the level of the individual security. It also helps avoid situations where borrowers can selectively default on some obligations while continuing to service others. Therefore Choice 'a' is the correct answer. The other choices are incorrect.

Exchange listing requirements might have some influence, but I feel like they don’t directly address the issue of selective defaults like cross-default clauses do.

Chapter 11 seems more about restructuring than preventing defaults, so I’m leaning towards cross-default clauses, but I could be wrong.

I remember practicing a question about debt covenants, and I think cross-default clauses were mentioned as a way to prevent selective defaults.

I think cross-default clauses are really important because they link all obligations together, but I'm not completely sure if that's the only mechanism.

The bankruptcy code seems relevant here, but I'm not sure if that's the full answer. I'll need to think through the other options as well to be sure.

I'm pretty confident the answer is A. Cross-default clauses are designed to prevent firms from defaulting on some obligations without being considered in default on others.

Okay, I think I've got this. Cross-default clauses in debt covenants are what ensure firms can't selectively default. That makes sense to me.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know cross-default clauses have something to do with it, but I'm not totally clear on the details. I'll have to review that concept.

This seems like a tricky question. I'll need to think carefully about the different options and how they relate to preventing selective default.

Chapter 11? More like Chapter Bored, amirite? But seriously, the bankruptcy code is the answer.
