The ultimate bankruptcy desk reference for lending institutions
Author James M. Lawniczak, along with Collier Editors-in-Chief Richard Levin and Henry J. Sommer, explore the critical challenges facing lending institutions, especially bank lending officers and in-house or outside counsel representing lending institutions before, during and after their borrowers file bankruptcy.
Collier Lending Institutions and the Bankruptcy Code has been substantially updated in the last three years and contains the important developments in bankruptcy law, including many very recent cases. It contains a step-by-step analysis of the bankruptcy process, from loan inception, loan administration and workouts all the way to a bankruptcy case.
The publication begins with a general overview of the Bankruptcy Code from the lender's perspective. It continues to discuss the bankruptcy issues a lending institution must consider at loan inception, including unsecured loans, secured loans, real estate loans, letters of credit, accounts receivable and inventory financing, derivative lending and securitization.
As borrowers show signs of financial distress, the book then leads you through amendment, waiver, composition and forbearance—through to a prepackaged bankruptcy plan, focusing on the tools the lending institution would use in this process. The chapters that follow then cover: the applicable law once your borrower files a bankruptcy case, including focus on debtor in possession financing; sales of assets, including all the assets of an entity; and Chapter 11 plans. The publication concludes with lender liability, providing a thorough understanding of the problems facing lending institutions.
The title addresses specific bankruptcy issues of which a lender must be aware, including:
• Bankruptcy considerations and strategies when structuring and documenting lending transactions
• Workouts and alternatives to bankruptcy
• Specific bankruptcy provisions affecting lenders, including automatic stay, executory contracts, preferences, setoff and fraudulent transfers
• Financing the debtor in possession
• Section 363 sales
• Chapter 11 plans of reorganization
• Lender liability
In addition, the publication contains many helpful checklists and forms that can assist lenders throughout the bankruptcy process, including: loan agreement forms; forms to be used in workouts, such as a forbearance agreement and a secured party section 9-610 sale; and forms used in bankruptcy, including forms related to use of cash collateral and debtor in possession financing, a bankruptcy sale order and a secured party proposed plan of reorganization.
