Granting Clause
Language by which the debtor grants a security interest in described collateral to the secured party.
A clear written security agreement creates enforceable rights in collateral, clarifies remedies after default, and supports priority against other creditors. Electronic execution is generally valid under federal and state e-signature law when the four-part ESIGN test is met.
The Legal Commercial Security Agreement is used by lenders, secured parties, borrowers, and corporate counsel to document collateral-based credit arrangements.
Each party should confirm who signs, how the document is delivered, and whether a UCC-1 financing statement or other filings are required to perfect the security interest.
