What the Credit Agreement by and Among Pareteum Corp Is

The Credit Agreement by and Among Pareteum Corp is a legally binding contract that sets out the terms and conditions under which lenders provide credit to Pareteum Corp and related obligors. It typically defines the loan amount or facility, repayment schedule, interest rates, collateral and security interests, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, remedies, and conditions precedent to funding. The document allocates risk between borrower and lender, establishes notice procedures, and designates governing law and dispute resolution provisions for enforcing rights under U.S. law.

Why this Credit Agreement Matters

A clear credit agreement protects both borrower and lender by codifying payment obligations, collateral rights, and default remedies. It reduces ambiguity, supports enforceability in court, and creates the contractual basis for lender remedies such as acceleration, foreclosure on collateral, or pursuit of guarantors.

Why this Credit Agreement Matters

Who Typically Prepares or Signs This Agreement

Lenders, corporate finance teams, general counsel, and outside counsel usually draft or review the agreement before closing.

  • Corporate Borrower Teams: Legal and treasury staff who negotiate terms and confirm covenant feasibility before signing.
  • Lenders and Agents: Banks or credit facilities that review credit risk, collateral perfection, and enforcement mechanics.
  • Outside Counsel and Advisors: Law firms and financial advisors who prepare schedules, UCC filings, and closing documents.

Signatures are usually executed by authorized officers, officers' names and positions are listed, and any guarantors or pledgors sign as required.

Authorized Signers and Their Roles

Company Officer

Chief Financial Officer or an authorized corporate officer who signs on behalf of Pareteum Corp must be listed by name and title and have corporate authority documented in board resolutions or an incumbency certificate.

Lender Representative

A bank officer or agent with delegated authority signs for the lending party and must include name, title, and contact details to ensure enforceability and proper receipt of notices.

Key Sections to Expect in the Credit Agreement

A professional credit agreement contains standardized sections that detail economic terms, protections, and post-closing obligations. Each section allocates risk and defines processes for monitoring, compliance, and remedies.

Facility Terms

Defines loan type, maximum commitments, availability periods, interest rate mechanics, fees, and amortization details essential to cash planning.

Security Package

Specifies collateral, perfection steps (UCC-1 filings), guarantees, and liens that secure repayment obligations.

Representations

Statements of fact and status by the borrower that must be true at signing and frequently at funding and borrowing dates.

Covenants

Affirmative and negative covenants describing required actions and prohibited conduct, with testing and reporting intervals.

Events of Default

Triggers such as payment default, cross-default, insolvency, or covenant breaches that permit acceleration and remedies.

Conditions Precedent

Required deliverables and approvals that must be satisfied before lenders are obligated to fund.

Required Information and Core Fields

Parties: Full legal names
Loan Amount: Principal amount
Interest Rate: Rate formula
Maturity Date: MM/DD/YYYY
Collateral: Description
Signatures: Names & dates

Step-by-Step: Completing the Agreement

Follow a logical sequence to draft, review, approve, and execute the agreement to reduce errors and closing delays.

  • 01
    Drafting: Populate economic terms and security language accurately.
  • 02
    Internal Review: Legal and finance confirm representations and covenants.
  • 03
    Closing Checklist: Assemble schedules, certificates, and UCC filings.
  • 04
    Execution: Authorized signers sign and dates are recorded.

How to Customize and Complete the Agreement Online

Configure online workflows so required fields, reviewer roles, and authentication match your internal closing process and compliance needs.

Template Settings Lock critical clauses to prevent accidental edits.
Signer Order Set role-based signing sequence for lender, borrower, and guarantors.
Authentication Enable email, SMS, or KBA as required.
Conditional Fields Show or hide sections based on borrower selections.
Integrations Connect to document storage or CRM for recordkeeping.

Where to Send, File, or Submit the Completed Agreement

Routes depend on whether the agreement requires recording, perfection of collateral, or is purely bilateral; follow lender closing instructions precisely.

  • To Lender Agent: Send executed originals to agent for funding.
  • UCC Filing: File UCC-1 in debtor's jurisdiction to perfect liens.
  • Notary/Recording: Record mortgage or deed of trust where required.
  • Corporate Books: Retain copies in borrower minute book or document repository.

Digital Signing and eSubmission Considerations

Use an eSignature platform that supports audit trails, appropriate signer authentication, and secure storage to maintain enforceability.

  • Authentication: Email, SMS, KBA
  • Document Formats: PDF/A and DOCX
  • Integrations: CRM and cloud storage

Ensure the chosen platform can produce tamper-evident signed PDFs, retain a certificate of completion, and meet any industry compliance needs such as HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11 when applicable.

Key Dates and Timing to Track

Track contractual dates carefully; many obligations are time-triggered and missed deadlines can create defaults or late fees.

Effective Date:

Date obligations and covenants begin.

Funding Date:

Date lenders disburse initial advance.

Covenant Test Dates:

Quarterly or annual compliance testing windows.

Maturity Date:

Final repayment and termination deadline.

Notice Periods:

Periods for cure, waiver, or default notices.

Closing Milestones and Post-Closing Steps

A typical closing follows a sequence of negotiation, signing, funding, and post-closing perfection steps that should be tracked on a milestone list.

01

Negotiation Complete

Final draft agreed and redlines resolved before signing.

02

Execution and Notarization

Authorized signers execute and notarize where required.

03

Funding Release

Lender wires funds once conditions precedent are certified.

04

Perfection Filings

UCC-1 and property recordings completed post-closing.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to perfect security by neglecting UCC-1 filings, which may leave collateral unprotected and subordinate to other creditors.
  • Using ambiguous collateral descriptions that create disputes about scope and impair ability to enforce liens across jurisdictions.
  • Missing signature authority documentation such as board resolutions, which can render signatures voidable by third parties or courts.
  • Overlooking post-closing covenants and reporting requirements that can trigger technical defaults if not monitored.

Penalties, Risks, and Common Consequences

Default Interest: Higher rates may apply
Acceleration: Entire balance becomes due
Cross-Default: Triggers other defaults
Lien Subordination: Unperfected liens lose priority
Tax Withholding: Withholdings may be required
Enforceability: Improper execution risks invalidity

How the Credit Agreement Differs from Similar Documents

Compare common loan-related documents to understand their distinct legal roles and when each is used in a financing transaction.

Document Type Typical Use Key Legal Effect
Credit Agreement facility terms ongoing covenants
Promissory Note evidence of debt repayment obligation
Security Agreement secures collateral grants lien
