Guarantee & Security Agreement

A Guarantee & Security Agreement provides collateral and personal guarantees securing performance or payment obligations. This playbook details drafting considerations for enforcement rights, perfection, and priority of security interests.

Assignment and Transfers

Why This Matters: Unduly restrictive assignment terms hinder market liquidity and syndication options. Clear transfer protocols facilitate funding flexibility and secondary trading.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Lender:

Negotiate for the ability to assign rights to affiliates or institutional investors with minimal consent requirements. Ensure that any consent required is not unreasonably withheld.

If you're the Borrower:

Seek to maintain control over assignments by requiring prior written consent, especially for strategic counterparties. Ensure that notice provisions are included for transparency.

Essential elements

1

Consent Requirements

Conditions for assignment approval.
2

Notice Provisions

3

Strategic Counterparties

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits when consent requirements are too restrictive or lack clarity.

Reject clauses that completely prohibit assignments without valid reasons.

ADD
