Increases in Commitments Clause Samples
The "Increases in Commitments" clause allows parties to raise the total amount of financial commitments or credit available under an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the process for requesting and approving additional commitments, such as requiring lender consent or specifying notice periods. Its core function is to provide flexibility for borrowers to access more funds as needed, while ensuring that all parties agree to the revised terms, thereby accommodating changing financial needs without renegotiating the entire agreement.
Increases in Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on and from the Effective Date, the Borrower may by delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Notice of Revolving Increase in the form of Exhibit E, request increases to the Lenders’ Commitments (each such request, an “Optional Increase”); provided that:
(i) the Borrower may not request any increase to the Commitments after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default; (ii) each Optional Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Optional Increases shall be no more than $250,000,000.
(b) Each Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, participate in any Optional Increase, subject to the approval of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and the decision of any Lender to commit to an Optional Increase shall be at such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion and shall be made in writing. The Borrower may, at its own expense, solicit additional Commitments from third party financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders. Any such financial institution (if not already a Lender hereunder) shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender, pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.
(c) As a condition precedent to the Optional Increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated the effective date of the Optional Increase, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying that: (i) the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such Optional Increase are attached thereto and such resolutions are true and correct and have not been altered, amended or repealed and are in full force and effect, (ii) before and after giving effect to the Optional Increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the effective date of the Optional Increase, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which c...
Increases in Commitments. So long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, the Seller may request on a one-time basis that the Purchasers ratably increase their respective Commitments, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000; provided, that such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000. At the time of sending such notice with respect to the Purchasers, the Seller (in consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers) shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of such increase and (ii) the time period within which such Purchasers and the Administrative Agent are requested to respond to the Seller’s request (which shall in no event be less than fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers). Each of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller and the Master Servicer within the applicable time period whether or not such Person agrees, in its respective sole discretion, to make such ratable increase in such Purchaser’s Commitment or otherwise agrees to any lesser increase in its Commitment. Any such Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Purchaser’s Commitment. In the event that one or more Purchasers fails to consent to all or any portion of any such request for an increase in its Commitment, the Seller may (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) request that any unaccepted portion of the requested increases in Commitments be allocated to one or more willing Purchasers as agreed in writing among the Seller, the Administrative Agent and such willing Purchasers (in each case, in their sole discretion), such that such Purchasers’ increase in their Commitment exceeds such Purchaser’s ratable share. Any such Purchaser may agree, in its sole discretion, to such increase in its Commitment. To the extent that the requested Commitment increase has been validly requested in accordance with this clause (g) and all or any portion of such validly requested increase has been declined by the Purchasers, the Seller may add up to two additional Persons to this Agreement as Purchasers in accordance with Section 14.03(i); provided, however, that the aggregate amount of new Commitments and Commitment increases effectuated pursuant to this clause (i) shall not exceed $100,000,000...
