Pledged Securities Clause Samples
The 'Pledged Securities' clause defines which securities are being used as collateral in a financial or lending agreement. It typically specifies the types of securities involved, such as stocks, bonds, or other financial instruments, and may outline how these assets are to be held or controlled during the term of the agreement. By clearly identifying the collateral, this clause ensures both parties understand what assets are subject to the lender's security interest, thereby reducing ambiguity and protecting the lender's rights in the event of default.
