The Illinois Security Agreement is a legal document that governs the transfer of interests in a Limited Liability Company (LLC) to secure a debt or obligation. It outlines the conditions that must be met when a member's interest in an LLC is used as collateral for a loan or as security for a financial transaction. In Illinois, there are two primary types of Security Agreements concerning Member Interests in an LLC: 1. Pledge Agreement: This type of Security Agreement involves the pledge of a member's interest as collateral or security for a debt or obligation. By entering into a Pledge Agreement, the member (pledge) conveys a security interest in their LLC interest to the lender (pledge). In case of default, the lender may seize and sell the pledged member interest to recover the outstanding debt. 2. Security Agreement with Assignment: This type of Security Agreement goes a step further by not only pledging the member's interest but also assigning and transferring the interest to the lender as security for the obligation. In this scenario, the lender becomes the assignee and takes on the rights associated with the member's interest in the LLC. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the assignee can step in and take control of the LLC interest, potentially even becoming a member of the company. Both types of Security Agreements ensure that the lender has a legal claim on the member's interest in the LLC in the event of default. It is important to note that these agreements require compliance with relevant Illinois state laws and the operating agreement of the LLC. Additionally, all parties involved should seek legal advice and consult an attorney to ensure the agreement is properly drafted and executed.
