Loan Agreement (Unsecured)

An Unsecured Loan Agreement establishes credit terms without collateral, relying on borrower creditworthiness. This playbook focuses on interest provisions, representations, and remedies for nonpayment.

Payment & Drawdown Terms

Why This Matters: Unclear payment mechanics can lead to disputes, inadvertent defaults, and cash-flow issues. Detailed procedures mitigate operational risk and ensure timely payments.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Lender:

Ensure that the drawdown procedures are clearly defined to avoid any ambiguity. Negotiate for favorable interest calculation methods and robust fallback mechanisms to protect against market fluctuations.

If you're the Borrower:

Negotiate for flexible payment schedules and clear notice periods to manage cash flow effectively. Ensure that default interest rates are reasonable and fallback mechanisms are fair.

Example clauses

FAVORABLE

Preferred Drawdown Procedure

"The Borrower shall provide the Lender with a Drawdown Notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date. The Drawdown Notice shall specify the amount of the Drawdown, the proposed Drawdown Date, and the account to which the funds should be disbursed. The Lender shall disburse the funds on the Drawdown Date, provided all conditions precedent have been satisfied."
NEUTRAL

Standard Payment Dates

"Payments of principal and interest shall be made on the last Business Day of each calendar month. If any payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day."
UNFAVORABLE

Unclear Interest Calculation

"Interest shall be calculated based on the lender's discretion without a defined method."

Fallbacks

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure that payment terms are more stringent to mitigate potential financial exposure.

Variable Interest Rates

For loans with variable interest rates, include detailed clauses on how rate changes are communicated and applied.

Cross-Border Transactions

In cross-border transactions, consider currency fluctuation risks and include appropriate hedging clauses.
