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.
SAFE Example The SAFE investor would receive 6,250 shares under the 20% discount rate term in their agreement, or 15,000 shares if they had a valuation cap of $4 million. If an Investor had both features included in their SAFE agreement, the investor would likely choose the valuation cap and receive 15,000 shares.
Qualifying for a HEA is relatively easy, too. The main requirement is to have built up some equity in your property. You don't need a super high credit score, and the income criteria are flexible.
Let's say your home has an appraised value of $250,000, and you enter into a contract with one of the home equity agreement companies on the market. They agree to provide a lump sum of $25,000 in exchange for 10% of your home's appreciation. If you sell the house for $250,000, the HEA company is entitled to $25,000.

Three steps are required for attachment of a security interest: value has been given, the debtor has rights in the collateral or the power to transfer rights in the collateral to the secured party, and the debtor has signed or authenticated a security agreement that provides a description of the collateral.
If the collateral is real property (such as a mortgage or equipment), you should also file a UCC-1 with the county recorder's office in the county where the debtor's real property is located. Secretaries of state have websites set up where you can file a UCC-1.
In the context of security, attachment is the point in time when a security interest is created as between a debtor and creditor. The effect of attachment is that the security interest attaches to the asset which is the subject of the security, so as to give the creditor rights ("in rem") against the debtor.
(1) A security interest attaches to collateral when it becomes enforceable against the debtor with respect to the collateral, unless an agreement expressly postpones the time of attachment.
