The Amended And Restated Loan Agreement is utilized when parties need to substantially modify an existing loan arrangement while maintaining the original security and avoiding the creation of a new debt. This document type is particularly relevant in the Pakistani banking sector where evolving business needs, regulatory requirements, or financial circumstances necessitate significant changes to existing loan terms. The agreement must comply with Pakistani law, including the Contract Act 1872, Banking Companies Ordinance 1962, and relevant State Bank of Pakistan regulations. It comprehensively addresses all aspects of the lending relationship, from interest rates and repayment terms to security arrangements and covenants, while clearly documenting the relationship to the original agreement. This format is especially useful for complex financing arrangements where multiple amendments have been made over time, or where substantial changes to the original terms are required.
