Primer for Credit Managers: What Every Credit Manager Needs to Know About Managing a Distressed Credit Prior to and During a Bankruptcy Proceeding

• Some Case Studies will be Presented

March 20, 10:00 a.m.
Unclear Contract Terms
Tim Wan
It’s time for everyone’s favorite game show: Unclear Contract Terms! So many cases are litigated and so many disputes happen, not because of someone’s failure to perform, but because the parties never had a meeting of the minds. We will discuss various terms that are used in business and have been used in business transactions, which are debatable, arguable vague and unclear, and we will cover what more precise language can be used. Think about terms like “ASAP” or “Bi-Monthly”.

March 27, 10:00 a.m.
Navigating Lien Rights In Bankruptcy
Bruce S. Nathan, Andrew Behlmann, and Michael Papandrea, Lowenstein Sandler LLP’s Bankruptcy and Restructuring Group
Most states have enacted laws creating materialmen’s and mechanics’ liens in favor of suppliers of goods and services for construction projects. This program focuses on a creditor’s ability to obtain, preserve, and enforce its lien rights where a customer in the construction supply chain files for bankruptcy. The speakers will discuss:
• Differences among state laws governing the creation, perfection, maintenance, and enforcement of lien rights;
• The impact of a bankruptcy filing, including the automatic stay, on lien rights and related remedies;
• Strategies to protect lien rights, including how inaction risks loss of lien rights in connection with chapter 11 DIP financing, a bankruptcy sale, and a chapter 11 plan.
• Special defenses that a lien creditor can assert when confronted with a preference claim.
