What is a Interest Waiver?

The Interest Waiver agreement is a critical document used in German business and financial transactions when a creditor agrees to forego their right to collect interest on a debt obligation. This document becomes particularly relevant in scenarios involving debt restructuring, financial hardship, or strategic business relationships where maintaining the business relationship is prioritized over interest collection. The agreement must comply with German civil law (BGB) requirements and, where applicable, banking regulations. It typically includes detailed specifications about the interest being waived, the time period covered, and any conditions attached to the waiver. The document is essential in both corporate and individual lending relationships, requiring careful consideration of tax implications and potential impacts on other creditor relationships. The Interest Waiver can be structured as a permanent waiver or a temporary measure, depending on the circumstances and parties' intentions.

What sections should be included in a Interest Waiver?

1. Parties: Identification of all parties to the agreement, including the creditor waiving the interest and the debtor benefiting from the waiver

2. Tax Implications: Section addressing tax consequences of the interest waiver - relevant when significant tax implications exist

3. Partial Waiver Provisions: Used when only a portion of the interest is being waived or when the waiver is structured in phases

4. Related Party Consents: Required when third-party consents (e.g., from guarantors or security providers) are needed

5. Relationship with Other Creditors: Necessary when there are multiple creditors or intercreditor arrangements

6. Reinstatement Provisions: Used when the waiver might be reversed under specific circumstances

7. Reporting Requirements: Include when ongoing reporting or notification obligations are required

What schedules should be included in a Interest Waiver?

1. Schedule 1 - Original Loan Details: Details of the original loan agreement including date, parties, and key terms

2. Schedule 2 - Interest Calculation: Detailed breakdown of interest being waived, including calculation methodology

3. Schedule 3 - Payment History: Record of historical payments and outstanding amounts
