The Framework Loan Agreement serves as a master agreement designed to facilitate repeated lending transactions between parties under Dutch law. It is particularly useful when a borrower anticipates requiring multiple loans over time, as it eliminates the need to negotiate complete loan agreements for each transaction. The document typically includes comprehensive terms covering loan requests, drawdown procedures, interest calculations, repayment mechanisms, and security arrangements. This type of agreement is commonly used in corporate financing, establishing a robust legal framework that complies with Dutch financial regulations and civil law requirements. The Framework Loan Agreement's structure allows for flexibility while maintaining consistent terms across all individual loans, making it an efficient tool for ongoing lending relationships.
