The Amended And Restated Loan Agreement is utilized when parties need to substantially modify an existing loan arrangement while maintaining the continuity of the original agreement. This document type is particularly relevant in the Indian legal context where significant changes to loan terms, such as interest rates, repayment schedules, or security structures, necessitate a comprehensive restatement of the agreement. It's commonly used in corporate refinancing, debt restructuring, or when the complexity of multiple amendments warrants consolidation into a single document. The agreement must comply with Indian banking regulations, including RBI guidelines, and typically includes detailed provisions on security continuation, revised financial covenants, and updated representations and warranties. This document type is especially important in the Indian market where evolving business conditions and regulatory requirements often necessitate loan restructuring while preserving the original security and registration benefits.
