Mandatory Commitment Reductions Sample Clauses
The Mandatory Commitment Reductions clause requires parties to automatically decrease their outstanding commitments under a contract when certain predefined events occur. Typically, this applies to financial agreements such as credit facilities, where the available borrowing amount is reduced if, for example, the borrower receives new equity or incurs additional debt. The core function of this clause is to manage and limit the lender's exposure by ensuring that the total commitment aligns with the borrower's changing financial circumstances, thereby reducing risk and maintaining financial discipline.
Mandatory Commitment Reductions. (i) The Aggregate Commitments shall be reduced from time to time by the amount of any mandatory prepayment that would be required by subsection 2.7(a)(i) if Revolving Loans were outstanding, whether or not any Revolving Loans are outstanding at such time. Such reduction shall be applied pro rata among the respective Commitments of the Banks and shall be effective as of the earlier of the date that such prepayment is made or the date by which such prepayment is (or would be) due and payable hereunder. All accrued commitment fees to the effective date of any reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination.
(ii) No reduction in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to Section 2.5 or subsection 2.7(b)(i) shall reduce the L/C Commitment unless and until the Aggregate Commitment has been reduced to $20,000,000; thereafter, any reduction in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to Section 2.5 shall equally reduce the L/C Commitment.
(iii) At no time shall the Swingline Commitment exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment which reduces the Aggregate Commitment below the then current amount of the Swingline Commitment shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swingline Commitment to the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, as so reduced, without any action on the part of the Swingline Bank.
