Bus/Financial / crdeit agreement
German term or phrase: help with sentence.,please
I apologize in advance for posting this question, probably a cinch for our business/finance experts. I have a rough draft but don't want to embarrass myself ... This is the crucial sentence in a credit agreement to which many other legal documents refer, so I need to make sure that the wording is 100% correct. While I would appreciate suggestions for the entire sentence I am most interested in "Ansprüche": can I use "claims"??


"Sollten die realisierbaren Werte der vereinbarten Sicherheiten nicht mehr zur 110% igen Deckung der gesicherten Ansprüche ausreichen, sind wir - soweit Sie die Sicherheit auf unsere Anforderung hin nicht entsprechend verstärken - berechtigt, den Kredit zur sofortigen Rückzahlung fällig zu stellen und die Sicherheiten entsprechend der getroffenen Vereinbarungen zu verwerten."

TIA!

secured claims, ok
Explanation:
See whether this works for you:

If the realizable value of posted security no longer provides 110% coverage of the secured claims, failure by you to post adequate additional security upon demand shall entitle us to accelerate the loan and foreclose on the existing security.

agree  Anjo Sterringa: perhaps I would say simply demand full and immediate payment, as accelerating a loan is for some people just accelerating payments. I do not know what kind of English the English should be in. It soes not seem to be as common in UK as it is in USA.
