Security Agreements: Getting Down to Brass Tacks

Jul 30th, 2008 by Addy | 0

Without a security agreement, it is improbable that individuals or businesses would be able to borrow much money, for interest rates would be prohibitively high. Security agreements allow for the free flow of credit and capital by assuring lenders that they will be repaid on the loans they make.

When a lender makes a loan or extends credit to a borrower, the borrower makes a formal promise to repay this loan or else make the lender whole again by giving some sort of collateral in exchange for the loan. The borrower creates an interest in his collateral to guarantee that he will repay the lender. The document that memorializes this understanding is the security agreement. Incidentally, security agreements may be oral, but in such cases, the lender must be in possession of the borrower’s collateral.

Forbearance Agreements

Jul 28th, 2008 by Addy | 0

It happens from time to time that even good credit risks have trouble repaying their debts. Serious illness, unemployment, a family emergency-each, when it occurs with a disquieting lack of notice, can wipe out savings and take a toll in other ways, as well. The agreement that goes a long way toward settling this unsettling situation is called a forbearance agreement. In this written contract, a lender agrees to abstain-that is, forbear-from taking action against a borrower that the lender would normally have the right to take. In other words, the lender agrees not to sue or foreclose on the borrower, permitting the latter more time in which to repay the debt.

Drafting Enforceable Letters of Credit

Jul 25th, 2008 by Addy | 0

Letters of Credit are incredibly useful and sometimes necessary tools in the course of international trade. They essentially serve to notify a seller of goods that a buyer has a line of credit with a credible financial institution. This allows the seller to feel more assured that in the event the buyer is unable to cover the costs of the goods, the seller will still get paid by the bank.

Patent License Agreements

Jul 24th, 2008 by Addy | 0

A patent license agreement has become a valuable and trusted technique for companies to share knowledge in a protected way. No company wants to invest time and money in an invention, only to give it away without the prospect of compensation. Thus, the patent license agreement was created. It is an agreement in which a licensor grants to a licensee for consideration the revocable right to perform an act that would otherwise be illegal without the licensor’s permission. Here, in contrast to other types of license, the act is to use the licensor’s invention, which is patented for the protection of the licensor. The grant of permission, which may be exclusive or non-exclusive, is embodied in a document called the license.

Medicine in Elizabethan England

Jul 16th, 2008 by Addy | 0

During the reign of Henry VIII (1485-1509) in England, the royal confiscation of monastic land s and church properties put a huge crutch on the entire charitable system. Between 1536 and 1544, one would have to search far and wide for medical help, and there was absolutely no help for indigent people in the city of London. In 1569, royal hospitals were finally restored, including Christ’s Hospital for Children, St. Mary’s of Bethlem for mental cases, and general hospitals such as St. Bartholomew’s and St. Thomas’. However, hospitals were not the only options for a sick individual. Queen Elizabeth I’s reign (1558-1603) brought the restoration of general charity, and there were many types of professionals and individuals to turn to for seeking medicals attention. As a result of this broad spectrum of medical choices, a mixture of the theory of Humors, the Doctrine of Signatures, astrology, tradition, chemical science, and magic became the basis for popular medicine in Elizabethan England.

The Purpose of Exclusivity Agreements

Jun 23rd, 2008 by Addy | 0

Exclusivity agreements, because they are present in a number of different areas of the law, come in a variety of forms and are designed to meet a range of goals. The overriding purpose of each exclusivity agreement is, however, to define a relationship in which (generally) two parties agree to deal only with one another, to the exclusion of third parties. The duration of the agreement; whether it is bilateral or unilateral in its rights and restrictions; if it includes only two parties or perhaps more-all such matters are dependent to a large degree on the area of law from which the agreement springs.Today, one is most apt to find exclusivity agreements in three different areas of the law-in the commercial world, in mergers and acquisitions, and in real estate.

More About Inserting Explanatory Text in Writing Novels

Jun 16th, 2008 by Addy | 0

In a recent article, I stated: “I found that three or four pages of explanatory text usually are quite well received.” I also stated: “It may not be totally acceptable to a few readers, but overall, most will enjoy learning something new and, if the material is adequately condensed and included as part of the overall story, as it must be, it often is enjoyed enough to be favorably mentioned in reviews.”
