Addendum to Promissory Note
Understanding this form
An addendum to a promissory note is a legal document that modifies the terms of an existing promissory note, which is a written promise for one party to pay another a specified amount of money within a set timeframe. This form allows parties to update crucial details such as interest rates or payment schedules without rewriting the entire agreement. It is distinct from other loan documents because it specifically addresses adjustments to an existing promissory note rather than initiating a new loan agreement.
Key components of this form
- Loan information: Includes the principal amount and the date of the original promissory note.
- Definitions: Clarifies terms such as Adjusted LIBOR Rate, One Month LIBOR, and Standard Rate.
- Application of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate: Explains how interest is calculated for different periods.
- Adjustments and protections: Outlines actions in case the interest rate cannot be determined or becomes unlawful.
