  • Description
    Right to Encumber a) Project Company Right to Mortgage Leasehold Interest. Project Company may at any time mortgage all or any part of its interest in the Lease and rights under this Lease and/or enter into a collateral assignment of all or any part of its interest in the Lease or rights under this Lease to any entity (“Lender”) without the consent of Owner. Any Lender will have no obligations under this Lease until such time as it exercises its rights to acquire Project Company’s interests subject to the lien of Lender’s mortgage by foreclosure or otherwise assumes the obligations of Project Company directly. Project Company will undertake reasonable efforts to notify Owner of the identity and notice address for any Lender, but failure to do so will not be considered a default hereunder. (b) Amendment Requires Lender Consent. Owner and Project Company agree that, once all or any part of Project Company’s interests in the Lease are mortgaged or assigned to a Lender, they will not modify or terminate this Lease without the prior written consent of the Lender. (c) Lender Right to Cure Project Company Default. Owner agrees that any Lender will have the right to make any payment and to do any other act or thing required to be performed by Project Company under this Lease, and any such payment, act or thing performed by Lender will be effective to prevent a Breach by Project Company and any forfeiture of any of Project Company’s rights under this Lease as if done by Project Company itself. (d) Notice from Owner to Lender in Case of Project Company Default. During the time all or any part of Project Company’s interests in the Lease are mortgaged or assigned to any Lender, if Project Company defaults under any of its obligations and Owner is required to give Project Company notice of the default, Owner will also be required to give Lender notice of the default. If Owner becomes entitled to terminate this Lease due to an uncured default by Project Company, Owner will not terminate this Lease unless it has first given written notice of the uncured default and of its intent to terminate this Lease to the Lender and has given the Lender at least thirty (30) days from such notice to cure the default to prevent termination of this Lease. If within such thirty (30) day period the Lender notifies the Owner that it must foreclose on Project Company’s interest or otherwise take possession of Project Company’s interest under this Lease in order to cure the default, Owner will not terminate this Lease and will permit the Lender a reasonable period of time necessary for the Lender, with the exercise of due diligence, to foreclose or acquire Project Company’s interest under this Lease and to perform or cause to be performed all of the covenants and agreements to be performed and observed by Project Company. The time within which Lender must foreclose or acquire Project Company’s interest will be extended to the extent Lender is prohibited by an order or injunction issued by a court or the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law from commencing or prosecuting the necessary foreclosure or acquisition. (e) Recognition of Lender as Successor. The acquisition of all or any part of Project Company’s interests in the Lease by any Lender through foreclosure or other judicial or non-judicial proceedings in the nature of foreclosure, or by any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, will not require the consent of Owner nor constitute a Breach or default of this Lease by Project Company, and upon the completion of the acquisition or conveyance, Owner will acknowledge and recognize Lender as Project Company’s proper successor under this Lease upon Lender’s cure of any existing Project Company defaults and assumption of the obligations of Project Company under this Lease prospectively.

What is the Right to Encumber?

The “Right to Encumber” is a legal concept that grants an individual or entity the ability to place a burden or charge on an asset or property. This typically involves using the property as collateral to secure a debt or loan. When a property is encumbered, it is subject to certain claims or liabilities, such as mortgages, liens, or easements, which can affect its transferability or value.

When Should I Use the Right to Encumber?

The Right to Encumber is typically exercised when an individual or business needs to secure financing by leveraging their assets. It is used in various situations, including:

  • Securing a Mortgage: When purchasing real estate, buyers often use their right to encumber by placing a mortgage lien on the property.
  • Bank Loans for Businesses: A business may encumber its assets to obtain loans from financial institutions.
  • Refinancing: Property owners may encumber their assets to refinance existing debts at more favorable terms.

How Do I Write the Right to Encumber?

Writing a clause or agreement that includes the Right to Encumber involves clear language and legal specifics, often drafted by legal professionals. The document should include:

  1. Identification of Parties: Clearly state the parties involved in the agreement.
  2. Description of Asset: Provide a detailed description of the asset or property to be encumbered.
  3. Scope of the Right: Specify the extent and limitations of the right to encumber.
  4. Obligations and Liabilities: Outline the obligations and liabilities of the party encumbering the asset.
  5. Legal Compliance: Ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

Example:

“The Borrower hereby grants the Lender the right to encumber the property located at [Property Address], to secure repayment of the loan amounting to [Loan Amount]. The encumbrance shall take the form of a mortgage lien, subject to the terms outlined in this agreement.”

Which Contracts Typically Contain the Right to Encumber?

The Right to Encumber is commonly found in several types of legal documents and contracts, including:

  • Mortgage Agreements: When purchasing real estate with borrowed funds.
  • Loan Agreements: Contracts where loans are secured against personal or business assets.
  • Leases: Some commercial lease agreements may allow for certain encumbrances under specific conditions.
  • Partnership Agreements: In situations where partnership property may be used to secure debts.

By including the Right to Encumber in these documents, parties can formally establish the ability to use assets as collateral, paving the way for securing necessary financing or credit.
