  • The Anti-Lien: Another Security Interest in Land*
    The Anti-Lien: Another Security Interest in Land* Uriel Reichmant The law recognizes various security interests in land, which are de- signed to provide two distinct advantages over unsecured interests: the right to priority over general creditors in bankruptcy proceedings, and the right to satisfy the debt from a specified parcel of property. This article proposes recognition of an intermediate concept between secured and unsecured debt: an interest in land that secures to some extent the repayment of a debt, but does not possess the twin characteristics of full security interests. This interest in land, the "anti-lien,"1 is a preventive measure; the debtor's power of alienation and power to grant another security interest are suspended while the debt remains outstanding. The anti-lien creditor has no powers or rights other than this passive rem- edy; for all other purposes, he is treated as a simple debt creditor. The few cases that have dealt with contracts containing anti-lien re- strictions have limited the analysis to a narrow question: did the con- tract create an equitable lien (that possesses the characteristics of a traditional security interest) or merely a personal obligation? Framing the question in this way eliminated consideration of the anti-lien alter- native-an alternative that is potentially useful when a regular security interest is unavailable or economically impractical. This paper attempts to explain deficiencies in the application of the equitable lien analysis to the anti-lien situation and argues the case for the anti-lien concept. Just a decade ago, documents evidencing an anti-lien approach were widely used in California.

  • Distinguishing Between Securities Account and Deposit Accounts Under the UCC
    As Appeared in the Illinois Bar Journal December, 2000, Volume 88 #12 Distinguishing Between Securities Account and Deposit Accounts Under the UCC By René Ghadimi, Katten Muchin Zavis Rosenman ©Reprinted with permission of the Illinois Bar Journal. Copyright by the Illinois State Bar Association, on the Web at <www.isba.org> Lenders frequently take security interests in the deposit accounts and securities accounts of their borrowers to secure the repayment of borrowers loan obligations. This article explores the basis for perfecting security interests in securities and deposit accounts and discusses the often important and sometimes elusive distinction between the two. The first step [in] determining how to perfect a lien is to decide whether a given account is a deposit or a securities account, as such terms are defined in the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction. Cash collateral accounts of one form or another are an important part of many finance transactions. These accounts may constitute significant assets of a borrower and can assume many forms, including operating accounts, capital subscription accounts, various types of reserve accounts and cash management accounts. These accounts may contain funds that are maintained overnight or for extended periods. More often than not, business realities dictate that the borrower be allowed to maintain some degree of control over the funds and invest them in financial assets rather than letting them languish as cash balances. The question for lenders who typically take a pledge of these accounts to secure the loan obligations of their borrower is how to perfect their security interest. These lenders must confront the issue of whether these various accounts are deposit accounts or securities accounts under the Uniform Commercial Code, or maybe a little of both.

  • Perfecting a Security Interest in an LLC Membership Interest in Virginia
    Perfecting a Security Interest in an LLC Membership Interest in Virginia Rebecca C. Bowen Thompson McMullan, P.C. (804) 698-6223 / [email protected] With limited liability companies being the entity of choice for many businesses in Virginia and the lending opportunities that they create, it is important to understand how to perfect a security interest in an LLC membership interest. Under Virginia’s UCC, a membership interest may be classified as either a “security” (Va. Code § 8.8A-103(c)) or a “general intangible” (Va. Code § 8.9A-102(42)). Establishing and determining the correct classification is important because different rules are invoked for the perfection and priority of a security interest in a security versus a general intangible. Va. Code § 8.8A-103(c) provides that a membership interest is not a “security” unless it is “dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, its terms expressly provide that it is a security governed by [Article 8.8A of the Virginia Code], or it is an investment company security. However, an interest in a partnership or limited liability company is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account.” Accordingly, a membership interest is not a “security” unless: the LLC’s articles of organization or operating agreement “opt-in” to Article 8.8A by specifying that the membership interests are securities governed by Article 8.8A; (ii) the membership interests are actually dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or securities markets; (iii) the LLC is an investment company; or, (iv) the membership interest is a financial asset held in a securities account.
