LOAN AGREEMENT
The Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") is executed as of this date [date of execution],
By and between
[NAME OF LENDER], (hereinafter referred to as "Lender"), and unless incompatible with the context shall mean and includes its legal representative(s), assignee(s), nominee(s) and/or administrator;
And
[NAME OF BORROWER], (hereinafter referred to as "Borrower"), and unless incompatible with the context shall mean and includes its legal representative(s), assignee(s), nominee(s) and/or administrator;
The Lender and Borrower shall collectively be referred to as "the Parties."
In the determination of the rights and duties under this Loan Agreement, the entire document must be read as a whole. The parties hereby agree to be legally bound as follows:
Principal Loan Amount: The Lender agrees to loan the Borrower the principal sum of [loan amount] (the "Loan"), together with interest on the outstanding principal loan amount (the "Principal "Balance") and in strict accordance with the terms outlined in this Agreement.
Payment: The principal loan amount, including the accrued and unpaid interest together with all other charges, costs, and expenses, is due and payable on or before [due date]. All payments under this Loan Agreement are applied first to accrued interest and then to the balance of the outstanding principal.
Interest: The Principal Balance shall bear interest at the rate of [interest rate]. Interest shall begin accruing on the outstanding principal loan amount from the date of disbursement of the loan funds to the Borrower and shall continue to accrue until the entire Principal Balance is repaid in full. The Borrower will not be obligated to pay any interest in excess of this amount.
Prepayment: The Borrower holds the right to prepay all or any part of the principal loan amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, at any time and shall not be subject to any prepayment penalty or premium.
Acceleration: In the event of acceleration under this Agreement, where the Borrower fails to pay all or any part of the principal loan amount or accrued interest on or before the due date, or where the Borrower becomes insolvent or bankrupt, the Lender may, at its sole discretion, declare this Loan Agreement immediately due and payable. The Lender shall provide written notice to the Borrower of the intent to accelerate the loan, and the Borrower shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice to cure the default and prevent acceleration. If the default is not cured within the specified time limit, the Lender may proceed with acceleration.
Indemnification of Costs, Fees, and Expenses: In the event of default or material breach of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Lender all costs of collection, including the reasonable legal fees incurred by the Lender in the course of enforcing this Agreement.
