A collateral contract is a contract to enter into an future contract. Part of the consideration for the collateral contract is the promise to enter into the second contract. This is similar to a conditional contract whereby the consideration for one party is conditioned on the other party doing something.
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.

Collateral is when an asset is pledged to secure repayment. The five main types of collateral are consumer goods, equipment, farm products, inventory, and property on paper. All can be used as collateral when applying for loans, provided there is a recognizable value associated with the item.
