In this thesis, the author aimed to describe the specifics of agreements on financial collateral in accordance with section 323a of the act no. 513/1991 Coll. the commercial code, as amended. The Author used a method consiting of describing the purpouses of traditional elements of those security instruments, which are broken and modified by the provisions enabling agreements on financial collateral in the first part of the thesis, and further applied the purposes to the provisions enabeling the agreements on financial collateral itself in the second part of this thesis. As to the additional method of approach, the author judged this security instrument from the point of values and principles, which are the most reflected in its provisions. Author implied that the specifics of an agreement on financial collateral consist in vast differences from the traditional security instruments. These differences lie in the area of formation of such security instrument, the area of rights and duties of the contracting parties during the existence of the financial collateral, as well as the possibilities of the satisfaction of the creditor from the collateral. Author's conclusions may be summarized by the following. Agreements on financial collateral are characteristic by high extent of application of the...

This thesis examines issues related to security interest, especially the security that holds after acquired property as well as present property, which are caused by discharge under bankruptcy procedure. This thesis also examines security interest valuation issue under proposal under Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Both issues are related to the nature of security interest, which is, in my opinion, to hold the value of collateral at the time of realization. This thesis especially focuses on the security under after acquired clause, which holds interests in after acquired property as well as present property. In my view, the security on after acquired property has proprietary interest. It leads to the conclusion on the issue whether the security can attach to a property acquired after discharge.

A bank borrowing some money has to give some securities to the lender, which is called collateral. Different kinds of collateral can be posted, like cash in different currencies or a stock portfolio depending on the terms of the contract, which is called a Credit Support Annex (CSA). Those contracts specify eligible collateral, interest rate, frequency of collateral posting, minimum transfer amounts, etc. This guarantee reduces the counterparty risk associated with this type of transaction. If a CSA allows for posting cash in different currencies as collateral, then the party posting collateral can, now and at each future point in time, choose which currency to post. This choice leads to optionality that needs to be accounted for when valuing even the most basic of derivatives such as forwards or swaps. In this thesis, we deal with the valuation of embedded optionality in collateral contracts. We consider the case when collateral can be posted in two different currencies, which seems sufficient since collateral contracts are soon going to be simplified. This study is based on the conditional independence approach proposed by Piterbarg [8]. This method is compared to both Monte-Carlo simulation and finite- difference method. A practical application is finally presented with the example of a contract between Natixis and Barclays.

Intellectual Property (IP) is becoming an increasingly important source of collateral in debt-based financial transactions. This thesis will show that IP and financing are intrinsically linked. They both can be used to drive company growth. When the two interact a virtuous growth spiral can form. It will be shown that IP can be used to obtain financing which allows for company growth and the creation of more IP rights. The new IP rights then allow the IP owner to obtain more financing. The pattern of growth can continue in this pattern. However, due to the legal complications the formation of such a growth spiral is hindered. The thesis examines how security interests in intellectual property right are treated in secured finance law and IP law in the US and the UK. It will show that there is a conflict between laws particularly in the perfection and priority of such security interests. The conflict between the two sources of law makes it difficult to determine where a security interest must be registered in order to be perfected. The conflict also creates conflicting registers for such interests. Due to conflicting registration provisions it is also difficult to determine the priority of conflicting security interests in an IP right. Additionally, IP laws are often inadequate for determining issues on perfection and priority. The thesis will offer suggestion on legal reforms which will best alleviate the legal problems of taking security in an IP right.
