How to use collateral in a sentence?

1. Jacob Appelbaum:

   I find this stuff to be so frustrating because while they can be sources of legitimate intelligence, there can be lots of collateral damage.

2. Lisa Bragança:

   This is a real pickle for UBS to say the collateral value assigned to the closed-end fund shares is zero.

3. Joe Manchin:

   This bill is fighting inflation and it's got a whole set of collateral benefits as well.

4. Brian Tribus:

   The strike may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility, this incident is under investigation.

5. Kendall Coffey:

   Ten percent is a premium you pay a surety company, or bail bondsman, Coffey said. To get a bond in almost all cases you have to be able to fully collateralize that $150,000, meaning that either George Zimmerman or his parents have to come up with a $150,000 second mortgage on their house or from a bank. The bonding company is not a charity. They stand to lose the money. They have more than just fugitive hunters [to track down a defendant who flees.] They get collateral up front.
