Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Loan Forbearance Agreement skill uses AI to draft comprehensive, lender-protective forbearance agreements for U.S. commercial loan defaults. The tool captures existing defaults, structures payment deferrals, establishes conditions precedent, and generates borrower releases and guarantor reaffirmations — all in a fraction of the time required for manual drafting.

Drafting commercial loan forbearance agreements is a time-intensive process that requires careful coordination of loan documents, default histories, payment calculations, and protective provisions. Missing a single default, omitting a release clause, or failing to properly preserve lender remedies can expose the institution to significant legal and financial risk.

CaseMark's AI analyzes your loan documents and default information to generate a complete, lender-protective forbearance agreement with all critical provisions. The tool systematically captures every default, structures payment terms, drafts borrower acknowledgments and releases, and preserves all existing lender rights — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks while dramatically reducing turnaround time.

Questions

What types of commercial loans does this cover?

CaseMark's forbearance skill handles all standard U.S. commercial loan structures including term loans, revolving credit facilities, and real estate-secured loans. The AI adapts the agreement to match your specific loan documentation and collateral structure.

Does the agreement protect all existing lender rights?

Yes. CaseMark drafts the agreement to expressly preserve all lender rights and remedies, including acceleration, foreclosure, and collection. The forbearance is structured as a temporary, discretionary accommodation that does not waive any existing defaults or create new obligations for the lender.

Can I customize the forbearance period and payment terms?

Absolutely. You provide the proposed forbearance dates, payment schedule, interest rate treatment, fee structure, and deferral terms. CaseMark incorporates these into a structured agreement with clear termination triggers and default provisions.

Does it include borrower releases and acknowledgments?

Yes. CaseMark generates comprehensive borrower acknowledgments of the debt, lien validity, and absence of defenses, along with release language covering claims against the lender. Guarantor reaffirmation provisions are also included when applicable.

How does CaseMark handle multiple defaults and guarantors?

The AI captures and itemizes each specific default with dates, amounts, and covenant breaches. It also generates individual guarantor reaffirmation provisions and ensures all guaranty obligations remain in full force throughout and after the forbearance period.

Can I use this for loan workouts beyond forbearance?

CaseMark's skill is optimized for forbearance agreements, standstill arrangements, payment deferrals, and cure-period extensions. For more complex restructurings involving principal modifications or new money, the generated agreement provides a strong foundation that can be expanded by counsel.
