Increase of Commitment; Facility Amount Sample Clauses

The 'Increase of Commitment; Facility Amount' clause defines the process by which the total amount available under a loan facility can be increased, typically at the request of the borrower and with the agreement of the lenders. This clause outlines the conditions under which additional lenders may join or existing lenders may increase their commitments, often specifying notice requirements, documentation, and any limits on the maximum facility amount. Its core function is to provide flexibility for the borrower to access additional funding under the same facility, while ensuring that all parties are clear on the procedures and limits for such increases.
Increase of Commitment; Facility Amount. (a) At any time during the Revolving Period, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Commitment for any Lender may be increased in connection with a corresponding increase in the Facility Amount upon the written request of the Borrower with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and such Lender (and with notice to the Collateral Custodian) (an “Increased Commitment”); provided that, (i) following such Increased Commitment, the Facility Amount shall not exceed $500,000,000, and (ii) any increase in the Facility Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000. Except for upfront fees payable to Lenders providing any Increased Commitment, any such Increased Commitment shall be on the same terms (including the pricing and maturity date) as, and pursuant to the documentation applicable to, the Commitments provided pursuant to the Agreement as of the Effective Date. Prior to, or on the date of, the effectiveness of any such Increased Commitment, if requested by the Administrative Agent or any increasing Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the applicable Lender a revised Note in an aggregate face amount equal to such L▇▇▇▇▇’s revised Commitment.

  • Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers may, upon at least ten days’ written notice (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion) to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender), propose to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Commitment” or an “Incremental Facility”); provided that the aggregate amount of all Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate over the term of this Agreement. No Lender shall have any obligation to extend any Incremental Facility. (b) The Borrowers may designate a bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) to extend such Incremental Facility (each, an “Additional Lender”), which at the time agrees to extend such Incremental Facility; provided however, that any new bank or financial institution must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (c) In the case of each Incremental Revolving Commitment: (i) such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall have the same terms as the existing Revolving Commitments (other than any initial upfront fees paid to the Additional Lenders extending such Incremental Revolving Commitment); and (ii) the outstanding Revolving Loans and the Pro Rata Share of L/C Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable increase effective date among the Revolving Lenders (including the Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment) in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares (and the Revolving Lenders (including the Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrowers shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 2.18 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment). (d) An Incremental Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of: (i) a supplement or joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed by the Borrowers and by each Additional Lender setting forth the Incremental Revolving Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, (ii) evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrowers with respect to the Incremental Facility, and (iii) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers to the effect that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(a) and (b) will be satisfied before and after giving effect to the incurrence of the Incremental Facility and (B) after giving effect to such increase and the payment of any related fees, the Borrowers would be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenants set forth in Section 8.4 (after giving effect to any Borrowings to be made on the date that the Incremental Facility becomes effective, and deeming any Incremental Revolving Commitment to be fully drawn for purposes of calculating such compliance). (e) Upon the acceptance of any such agreement by the Administrative Agent, (i) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount shall automatically be increased by the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments added through such agreement and (ii) Schedule I shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the addition of such Commitments. (f) Each supplement or joinder agreement referred to in clause (d)(i) above may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provision of this Section 2.22, and for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions of Sections 2.20 or 11.2 to the contrary.

  • Increase of the Commitments (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, request by notice to the Administrative Agent, to increase the Commitments in minimum increments of $10,000,000, up to a maximum increase aggregate amount (for all such increases) of $500,000,000, by designating one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Designated Lender”) that agree to accept all or a portion of such additional Commitments (the “Proposed Increased Commitment”), provided, that (i) if a Designated Lender is not a Lender, such Designated Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank and each LC Issuing Bank, and such Designated Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment shall be at least $5,000,000; and (ii) if Designated Lender is a Lender, such Designated Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Swingline Bank and each LC Issuing Bank, and allocations of the Proposed Increased Commitment among Designated Lenders that are Lenders shall be based on the ratio of each existing Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment, if any, to the aggregate of all Proposed Increased Commitments. The Borrower may elect to remove or replace any such designated Eligible Assignee at any time prior to the effective date of such increase, provided that any newly designated Eligible Assignee is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank and each LC Issuing Bank. (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Designated Lenders of the Proposed Increased Commitment. Each Designated Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent by the date specified by the Administrative Agent (which date shall be a Business Day) that either (A) such Designated Lender declines to accept its additional Commitments or (B) such Designated Lender consents to accept its additional Commitments. Any Designated Lender not responding on or prior to the date specified by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have consented to accept its additional Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall, after receiving the notifications from all of the Designated Lenders or following the date specified in the notice to such Designated Lenders, whichever is earlier, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the results thereof and the effective date of any additional Commitments. The Borrower shall deliver (i) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, dated as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, stating that all conditions precedent to an Extension of Credit set forth in Section 3.02 are true and correct on and as of such effective date and (ii) a favorable opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be an attorney of American Electric Power Service Corporation), as to such matters as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. (c) Promptly following the effective date of any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.07, (i) the Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule I to this Agreement (which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes in Lenders, the Commitments and each Lender’s Commitment Percentage as of such effective date and (ii) the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Borrowings (if any) in full, and shall simultaneously make new Borrowings hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Borrowings are held ratably by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such Commitment increase). Prepayments made under this clause (c) shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.14. (d) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the date of any Commitment increase and the making of any Advances on such date pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, all calculations and payments of fees and of interest on the Advances shall take into account the actual Commitment of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Advance made by such Lender during the relevant period of time.
