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.

Regulatory Compliance

Why This Matters: Non-compliance with regulatory requirements can result in fines, transaction invalidation, and reputational damage.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Lender:

Ensure that the contract includes explicit commitments to comply with all applicable laws. Request periodic compliance reports and audit rights to verify adherence.

If you're the Borrower:

Negotiate for reasonable efforts to comply with applicable laws, and agree to provide compliance reports only upon request to minimize administrative burden.
