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.
Remedies and Acceleration
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the clause specifies a clear sequence of actions before acceleration, such as notice of default and opportunity to cure. Include language that defines what constitutes a default and the timeline for each step.
Negotiate for a reasonable cure period and mediation efforts before acceleration. Ensure the clause does not allow for immediate enforcement without due process.
Essential elements
1
Notice of Default
Written notice requirement.
2
Cure Period
Time allowed to remedy default.
3
Acceleration Clause
Conditions for demanding full payment.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits to include mediation efforts before acceleration.
EDIT
Reject if the clause allows immediate enforcement without notice.
ADD
Add language for graduated remedies and fair acceleration terms.
PRO TIP
Balance the acceleration clause to allow for negotiation or mediation before enforcement.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Preferred Clause
"In the event of a default, the Lender shall provide written notice to the Borrower, allowing a 30-day period to cure the default. If the default is not cured within this period, the Lender may accelerate the outstanding balance, provided that mediation efforts have been exhausted."
NEUTRAL
Fallback Clause
"Upon default, the Lender may demand immediate payment of all outstanding amounts, subject to a 15-day notice period."
UNFAVORABLE
Immediate Enforcement Clause
"The Lender may demand immediate payment upon any default without prior notice or opportunity to cure."
Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, a shorter cure period may be justified to protect the lender's interests, but should still allow for some negotiation.
Long-Term Contracts
For long-term contracts, ensure the clause allows for periodic reviews and adjustments to the remedy process to reflect changing circumstances.
Cross-Border Transactions
In cross-border transactions, consider jurisdiction-specific requirements and potential conflicts of law that may affect enforcement actions.
