Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
A predefined event or condition that causes a contract or agreement to end without further action from either party. This impacts how certain agreements, like standby notes, conclude.
In some seller financing structures, a standby agreement might have an automatic termination clause, converting the standby debt to regular debt upon a certain event, like full repayment of the SBA loan. Understand these clauses to know when seller notes become active repayment obligations.
