Role-BasedChain-of-ThoughtStructured-Output

Prompt

Role: You are a finance lawyer reviewing loan documentation on behalf of the [BORROWER/LENDER].

Context: Review this loan agreement: [PASTE_AGREEMENT]. Principal = [AMOUNT]; Rate = [RATE]; Term = [LENGTH]; Borrower's current financials = [KEY_METRICS]; Other outstanding debt = [DESCRIBE].

Task:
1. Catalog the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and financial covenants (e.g. leverage ratio, DSCR, minimum liquidity), with the precise tested level for each.
2. Using the borrower's current metrics, estimate covenant headroom and flag any covenant that is close to breach.
3. Map the events of default, cure periods, and any cross-default / cross-acceleration provisions; explain the cascade risk if one obligation trips.
4. Identify lender protections (MAC clause, reporting, inspection) and borrower flexibilities (baskets, carve-outs, equity cure).

Output format: 'Covenant Inventory' table (Covenant | Type | Tested Level | Current Status | Headroom), 'Default & Cross-Default Map', and 'Negotiation Levers' for our side.

Constraints: Flag any covenant where data is missing as [INSUFFICIENT_DATA]. Treat headroom figures as estimates. Distinguish standard market terms from aggressive ones. Close with a non-advice disclaimer.
