Credit Facility & Revolving Line Agreement

A Credit Facility & Revolving Line Agreement defines the terms for ongoing credit access between borrower and lender. This playbook reviews financial covenants, interest structures, and default remedies.

Security & Collateral

Why This Matters: Poorly structured or unperfected security can lead to subordinated claims and reduced recovery in default. Robust collateral arrangements mitigate credit risk.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Lender:

Ensure that the security interest is clearly defined and perfected. Require the Borrower to take all necessary actions, such as filing UCC-1 statements, to protect the Lender's interest.

If you're the Borrower:

Negotiate for flexibility in the collateral description and ensure that the obligations secured are clearly defined. Seek to limit the scope of the security interest to specific assets.

Essential elements

1

Security Interest

Defines collateral and obligations secured.
2

Perfection Requirements

Actions to perfect security interest.
3

Priority of Claims

Establishes order of security interests.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the collateral description is too broad or if perfection steps are unclear.

EDIT

Reject if the clause fails to provide a first priority security interest or lacks necessary perfection steps.

ADD

Add language to specify jurisdiction-specific perfection requirements if not included.

PRO TIP

Always verify that the security interest is perfected according to jurisdiction-specific laws to ensure enforceability.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Clear Security Interest

"The Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in, and lien on, all of the Borrower's right, title, and interest in and to the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations."
NEUTRAL

Basic Perfection Clause

"The Borrower agrees to take necessary actions to perfect the security interest granted herein."
UNFAVORABLE

Unclear Priority

"The security interest granted to the Lender shall be subject to other liens."

Alternative scenarios & positions

Cross-Border Transactions

In cross-border transactions, ensure that security interests are perfected in all relevant jurisdictions to avoid enforcement issues.

High-Risk Borrowers

For high-risk borrowers, consider requiring additional collateral or more stringent perfection requirements to mitigate risk.

Asset-Specific Security

When dealing with asset-specific security, ensure that the description of the collateral is precise and includes all necessary details to avoid disputes.
