And you think these covenants are not "hard and fast rules"? Sure the banks probably don't want to drive IBI into bankruptcy and deal with everything that goes along with that but would probably be happy to sell the debt to a distressed equity/debt shop at a discount to face value, whom in turn would happily accelerate the maturity of the facility if one of the company's covenants are breached, restructure the capital structure as a means to effectively buy majority equity cheaply, effectively eliminating the convertibles and current equity holders in the mean time (partnership included).
