I really doubt that your loan agreement actually addresses deferrals. So that leaves you with the deferral agreement itself. Since you are modifying the loan obligation of the borrower, it should be supported by a legal modification to the underlying contract. That said, you most likely need to be having this discussion with your legal counsel to ensure that whatever you are using supports both how you plan to handle the loan from a servicing perspective and complies with any State law issues. Whether the deferral will result in an extension of maturity or will be made up at the next recast of the loan after consultation with your legal counsel should be addressed in your modification agreement.
