Suppose you agree to rent an apartment. The lease agreement you sign with the landlord is the main contract. However, your landlord promises to fix the toilet drainage. Therefore, this is the collateral contract.
Examples of collateral documents are a security agreement, guarantee and collateral agreement, pledge agreement, deposit account control agreement, securities account control agreement, mortgage, and UCC-1s.
A film production services agreement will identify the nature and scope of the project, the people involved in the project, and the script that will be produced.
