Keepwell Agreement
A keepwell agreement, while not a formal guarantee, is a more general form of credit enhancement provided by a parent company to a subsidiary to support its debt obligations. Keepwell agreements provide comfort to investors who might otherwise conclude that buying obligations of the subsidiary may present non-payment risk.
