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

Why This Matters: Overly aggressive remedies can harm ongoing relationships and may be unenforceable. Structured remedy paths reduce conflict and safeguard recoveries.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Lender:

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.

If you're the Borrower:

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.

Example clauses

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."

Fallbacks

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.
