Here's an agnostic step-by-step guide on how to proceed:

* **Flexibility and Security:** Incorporate step-in rights, offtake volume guarantees, dispute resolution mechanisms, and force majeure clauses to protect against unforeseen events and ensure flexibility.
* **Assignment and Security Interest:** Enable the assignment of the agreement or revenues as security to lenders, including necessary consents from the buyer, ensuring the agreement can be pledged as collateral.
* **Financial Structuring and Risk Mitigation:** Use escrow accounts or reserve funds for additional security and consider risk-sharing mechanisms to cover specific project risks.
