Web Seminar - Document Negotiating Strategy

Date: 10/05/2010 Time: 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET

Document Negotiating Strategy
1:00pm-2:30pm EDT
 
 
Based on a highly-popular session at the 2010 Legal Forum, this web seminar will address documentation issues based upon the negotiating experiences of our seasoned panelists. Both instructional and interactive, the session will address lease origination documentation provisions which may have been deemed less critical in better times, such as:
 
  • Financial Covenants: Why will they become more important?
  • MAC Clauses in Proposal/Commitment Letters
  • Default Sections
  • Security interests in True Leases
  • Letters of Credit in the originations and syndications context.
  • PMSI: elements, risks, documentation, reliance when lessee has blanket liens
  • Vendor Agreements: Should lessors commit to pay the purchase price regardless of lessee acceptance?
  • Remarketing: agreements/assistance from a vendor or originating lessor.
  • Landlord Waivers: What's negotiable?
  • Insurance: lease provisions, cases re the phrase �as their interests may appear,� certificate content, breach of warranty coverage.
