Core components include project scope, capital structure, governance, decision rights, timelines, contingencies, risk allocation, and exit strategies.
Common terms you will encounter include capital calls, preferred returns, distributions, and transfer provisions.
A request for additional funding from JV partners to cover project costs, with defined timing and remedies for non-participation.
