The meaning of this term depends on the context in which it is used:

• In banking terms, a condition in a loan agreement that must be satisfied by the borrower before it may request a drawdown and the lender is obliged to lend. Unless otherwise provided, the rest of the loan agreement will be binding on the borrower on execution and it will be obliged to pay fees and make representations from then.
