## When to use it

Use when a lender is outlining a commercial facility before the definitive agreements are signed. Do not use it as a consumer-credit disclosure or as the facility agreement itself.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft the facility agreement and term sheet from the agreed economics](https://ailawframework.com/practice/banking-and-finance/draft-the-facility-agreement-and-term-sheet-from-the-agreed-economics.md)
- [Compare a facility agreement against the APLMA/LMA-style precedent](https://ailawframework.com/practice/banking-and-finance/compare-a-facility-agreement-against-the-aplma-lma-style-precedent.md)

## How AI may be used

Yellow: the lawyer settles the economics and which sections bind before anyone signs.

**AI may:**

- Lay out the parties, facility, price and conditions as blanks for the agreed economics.
- Mark a section as binding only where the lawyer has said that section binds on signing of the letter.
- Record an electronic-signature clause that follows the general rule in 15 U.S.C. § 7001(a).

**AI must not:**

- Do not state that the letter is binding, or that it is not binding, as a rule of law.
- Do not write a consumer-credit disclosure. No consumer-credit statute was used for this outline.
- Do not complete a security agreement, guarantee or opinion.
- Do not add a statement under penalty of perjury.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Confirm the borrower is not being given this letter as a consumer disclosure.
- Choose which sections bind on signing of the letter, and delete the other option.
- Check whether 15 U.S.C. § 7001(c) consumer-consent rules apply before relying on an electronic record.
- Match every figure to the agreed term sheet. This outline does not set a market rate.

## Authorities

- [15 U.S.C. § 7001 (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act)](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/7001)
