Security Agreement

Security Agreement

Security agreement is a document that provides the lender a security interest in a specified asset or property that is pledged as collateral. Security agreements often contain covenants that outline provisions for the advancement of funds, a repayment schedule or insurance requirements. The borrower may also allow the lender to hold the collateral for the loan until repayment. Security agreements may also pertain to intangible property, such as patents or receivables. And in the event that the borrower defaults, the pledged collateral can be seized and sold. A security agreement mitigates the default risk the lender faces.

The owner of the collateral seeks a secured party to ensure that it is free and clear of any lien or any charges. And the debtor shall maintain the collateral in good repair and see to it that it is safe. The debtor shall also insure the same for its full value. The debtor appoints secured party agent as its agent to file all financing statements which may be required, and vice versa.  The debtor should also provide certificates of insurance to secured party. The debtor shall execute any documents which are requested by secured party and which secured party determines is necessary to perfect secured party’s lien. However, upon default, secured party shall have all the rights given to a secured party under the law.

Default shall be defined as:

1. Any failure to comply with any covenant of the indebtedness secured by this agreement, including but not limited to a failure to timely pay as provided;
2. The entry of a judgment, tax lien or other charge against the debtor which is not satisfied or superseded within thirty days of inception;
3. Such other commercially reasonably reason that leads secured party to believe that its security is in peril.

 

Both parties should have a copy of the security agreement
