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.

Payment Terms

Why This Matters: Ambiguous payment clauses can lead to disputes over amounts owed or timing. Clarity prevents cash flow surprises and litigation.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Lender:

Ensure that the payment terms are clear and align with your financial goals. Negotiate for favorable interest rates and clear repayment schedules.

If you're the Borrower:

Seek to understand all payment obligations and negotiate for flexibility in payment schedules. Ensure interest calculations are transparent.
