A New York LLC Pledge Agreement is a legal document used to secure a loan with the assets of a New York limited liability company (LLC). This type of agreement allows an LLC member to pledge their membership interest in the company as collateral for a loan. The borrower agrees to forfeit their ownership in the LLC in the event of default on the loan. There are two types of New York LLC Pledge Agreement: a standard pledge agreement and a secured pledge agreement. The standard pledge agreement is the most common type of New York LLC Pledge Agreement. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the loan, including the loan amount, repayment terms, interest rate, and the ownership interest of the borrower that is being pledged as collateral. The agreement also must be signed by both the borrower and the lender to be legally binding. The secured pledge agreement is similar to the standard pledge agreement, but it adds a layer of security for the lender. In secured pledge agreements, the borrower must provide additional collateral to secure the loan. This could include real estate, vehicles, equipment, inventory, or other assets. The secured pledge agreement also includes language that states the borrower will forfeit their ownership interest in the LLC if they default on the loan. Both types of New York LLC Pledge Agreement must be filed with the New York Secretary of State in order to be legally binding.
