Mitigating Secured Creditor Risks Sample Clauses

Mitigating Secured Creditor Risks. If either (1) a license is exclusive, or (2) the licensee is not a licensee in the ordinary course of business as described in U.C.C. section 9-321, then prior to execution of the license, the licensee should conduct a search for any perfected security interests in the software. While a complete discussion of search procedures is beyond the scope of this chapter, in general the licensee should search in the central filing office in the state where the licensor is organized or has its chief executive office, using the name of the licensor as determined from its organic documents. If a prior, perfected security interest is found, the customer will need to seek a release from the prior, perfected lien holders. The author has found lenders amenable to this request when the release is narrowly tailored to the specific license agreement at issue.

However, in certain cases arguments could be made that the licensee’s right should be recharacterized and treated as merely a security interest, and since that interest would otherwise be unperfected, a filing would be necessary for the licensee to have priority. In some circumstances, it may make sense for a customer to obtain a security interest to secure the obligation of the vendor to perform under the contract.49 If the licensee perfects its security interest and obtains first priority, it will have rights over all other creditors.50 Hence, if the licensee is first to file or perfect its interest and later a different creditor attempts to foreclose on the asset, the junior creditor ’s rights to foreclose will be subject to the licensee’s rights in the collateral. Additionally, because article 9 allows the parties to define what “default” means,51 the security agreem...
