--- tags: Summaries --- # MIP72 Summary **Note: ATTENTION MIP EDITORS component summary and subproposal labels, as well as sub-proposal parameters need to be formatted properly, it's a bit of a mess ATM, components are listed as sub-proposals at present. I did some light touch formatting changes but it needs a full overhaul - PR: https://github.com/makerdao/mips/pull/600, it's hard to write a governance response without issues being addressed, I've highlighted some issues below and attempted to summarize the MIP** Motivation - create the arranger role - a DAO-empowered role that causes real-world commerce with DAO oversight. It focuses on core implementation, deal contruction and commerce causing. ## 6S as Arranger If passed MIP72 would authorise 6s capital as an arranger for MakerDAO. 6s Capital Partners LLC (LendCo) will interact with BorrowCo (TBD). ### Lending Scope Lending scope is listed, this is separated into the following asset categories: * Resilient * Renewable/sustainable * Commercial Real-Estate ### Loan Restrictions The following restrictions apply to secured loans: * LendCo must have first priority senior lien on collateral provided by BorrowCo * If other financial institutions subsequently participate in the loan, LendCo must be at least pari passu with other senior lenders and such rights must be in writing The following restrictions apply to acquiring or participating in secured loans: * LendCo must have first priority senior lien on collateral * LendCo must be pari passu with other senior lenders and these rights must be in writing The following Primary Collateral is prohibited: * Primary operations being technology-related unless secured with approved collateral * Intellectual property The following collateral is acceptable: * Equipment * Fixtures * Buildings * Land * Accounts receivable and other cash flows * Finished inventory A Green Suitability Test shall be administered to Renewable/Sustainable/Resilient collateral.

BorrowCo approaches LendCo for a loan 2. LendCo reviews loan request 3. LendCo approves or rejects request 4. If approved, LendCo raises/confirms equity 5. Title and/or collateral review is performed, legal work completed 6. BorrowCo and LendCo execute all documents and set closing date 7. LendCo deploys equity to ensure within the equity requirement constraint 8. At closing, LendCo borrows against its credit limit 9. Post-closing, BorrowCo conducts operations or agreed activities with progress checks 10. The loan is terminated by repayment by BorrowCo or foreclosure by LendCo 11. If BorrowCo wishes to divest the asset, LendCo must agree to release the senior lien. BorrowCo then requests a payoff letter from LendCo 12. A closing date is scheduled. BorrowCo raises funds. LendCo receives all remaining principal and interest. LendCo releases senior lien. 13.
