Loan Agreement (Secured)

A Secured Loan Agreement provides financing backed by collateral assets, outlining repayment and enforcement terms. This playbook explains negotiation of covenants, events of default, and security perfection requirements.

Assignment and Transfers

Why This Matters: Restrictive or overly permissive transfer provisions can hinder liquidity or expose the client to undesired counterparties.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Lender:

Ensure that any assignment or transfer requires prior written consent to maintain control over who assumes contractual obligations.

If you're the Borrower:

Negotiate for the ability to assign or transfer rights with minimal restrictions to maintain operational flexibility.

Essential elements

1

Consent Requirement

Prior written consent needed.
2

Competitor Restriction

No assignments to competitors.
3

Notification Obligation

Notify parties of transfers.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the clause lacks clarity on consent requirements.

EDIT

Reject if the clause allows unrestricted assignments to competitors.

ADD

Add language to specify notification obligations for transfers.

PRO TIP

Always include a clause that requires notification of any assignment or transfer to ensure transparency.
