Rate Schedule
Itemize base rate, spread, caps, floors, and index references (e.g., SOFR). Specify rounding rules, compounding frequency, and whether rates are fixed, floating, or adjustable during defined review periods.
A clear Security Rates Agreement reduces disputes by specifying rate calculations, default triggers, and collateral. It supports enforceability, auditability, and consistent accounting treatment across the transaction lifecycle.
The Security Rates Agreement is commonly completed by teams responsible for credit, legal, and contract management at lending or commercial organizations.
Itemize base rate, spread, caps, floors, and index references (e.g., SOFR). Specify rounding rules, compounding frequency, and whether rates are fixed, floating, or adjustable during defined review periods.
Provide a precise description of secured assets (by serial number, account, or collateral class). Reference UCC collateral categories and attach schedules or exhibits that identify excluded assets or after-acquired property.
Define events of default, cure periods, acceleration mechanics, post-default interest rates, and remedies such as repossession, foreclosure, or setoff consistent with governing law.
Explain how interest is computed (actual/360, actual/365), payment timing, late fee formulas, and methods for correcting computational errors to avoid disputes.
State which party is responsible for filings (UCC-1, mortgage recording), timing for perfection, and allocation of filing costs; include instructions for priority disputes and subordination if applicable.
Include notice procedures, governing law, amendment process, assignment restrictions, indemnities, and signature blocks with authority representation for each party.
