Borrower Control Clause Samples

The Borrower Control clause establishes the rights and responsibilities of the borrower in managing or directing certain aspects of the loan or the underlying collateral. Typically, this clause outlines the borrower's authority to make decisions regarding the use, maintenance, or disposition of assets tied to the loan, such as operating a business or managing property. By clearly defining the scope of the borrower's control, the clause helps prevent disputes over decision-making authority and ensures both parties understand the limits and expectations regarding asset management during the loan term.
