Summary
The issue in this case was whether an acquired company was worth more or less than a loan amount an indenture’s negative pledge covered.
Claim for equitable lien denied on the basis that the creditor (Chase) negotiated a loan in good faith without knowledge of the negative pledge against the company (Builder's Square).
