ILPA’s model LPA, published at the end of October, continues to garner publicity as industry participants process the document. Clifford Chance published a note summarizing key terms, available here. (The Clifford Chance note was the subject of a Private Funds CFO article earlier this week.) Separately, law firm Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP also published a bulletin that provides helpful context for the document, noting that it is unlikely to result in a significant shift in fund terms in the near future and is not intended to serve as a precedent document in any sense. As we previously noted, we found the model LPA fund borrowing provisions somewhat unworkable: borrowing is permitted, but standard market terms that facilitate fund borrowing were omitted. Among these were a clear ability to pledge uncalled capital commitments and the collateral account, the waiver of defenses and a grant of third-party beneficiary rights to the lender.
