On-Site Sales: What Lessor's Counsel Should Know

When equipment lessors evaluate the risks of underwriting lease transactions for manufacturing equipment, one of the primary considerations in the credit decision is the resale value of the equipment in the event of default.

Therefore, it is critical to look at every transaction from the perspective of how much money a piece of equipment will bring in a sale, if there is an established market for the particular equipment, and also, how and where the equipment can best be marketed and sold if a liquidation is necessary. An often-overlooked and significant factor in this analysis is whether the lessor will have unfettered access to remove the equipment to sell, refurbish, and/or prepare for liquidation at the location where it has been used.

Copyright, Free Speech and Victim Rights In the Digital Age

The annals of copyright decisions could provide a reasonably representative catalog of what our culture has been up to over the past 200 years.
