Increase in Commitments Clause Samples
The "Increase in Commitments" clause allows parties to raise the total amount of financial commitments available under an agreement, typically a loan or credit facility. In practice, this clause outlines the process by which existing or new lenders can agree to provide additional funds, often requiring certain conditions to be met, such as lender consent or documentation updates. Its core function is to provide flexibility for borrowers to access more capital as needed, while ensuring that all parties are clear on the terms and procedures for increasing the available commitments.

Increase in Commitments. (a) Provided there exists no Default (and no Default would result therefrom), upon notice from the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrowers may from time to time, request a new term loan (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an aggregate amount for all such Incremental Term Loans not to exceed $150,000,000; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that, upon giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to such Incremental Term Loan, the Loan Parties would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.10; and provided further that any Term Loan (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the existing Term Loans and shall have the same benefits of any additional guaranties or collateral and (ii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the existing Term Loans. The applicable Lenders shall approve the maturity, amortization, pricing, funding and other terms of such Incremental Term Loan. The aggregate amount of any Incremental Term Loan hereunder shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (and in integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof). To achieve the full amount of a requested Incremental Term Loan, the Borrowers may solicit increased commitments from existing Lenders and/or invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders; provided, however, that no existing Lender shall be obligated and/or required to accept an increase in its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.12 unless it specifically consents to such increase in writing. Any Lender or Eligible Assignee agreeing to increase its Commitment or provide a new Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.12 (an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) shall, in connection therewith, deliver to the Administrative Agent a new commitment agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(b) If the Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Term Loan Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Incremental Term Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such Incremental Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan Effective Date and Schedule 2.01 hereto sha...
Increase in Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the period beginning on the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not exceed $2,000,000,000 (less the aggregate amount of reductions of Commitments effected pursuant to Section 2.11.). Each such increase in the Commitments must be an aggregate minimum amount of $50,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Commitments, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Commitments among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Commitment or provide a new Commitment, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Lenders under Section 2.2.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Sectio...
Increase in Commitments. (i) The Borrower shall have the option, without the consent of the Lenders, from time to time to cause one or more increases in the Aggregate Commitments by adding, subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to this Agreement one or more financial institutions as Lenders (collectively, the “New Lenders”) or by allowing one or more Lenders to increase their respective Commitments; provided however that: (A) prior to and after giving effect to the increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing, (B) no such increase shall cause the Aggregate Commitments to exceed $1,800,000,000, (C) no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without such Lender’s consent, and (D) such increase shall be evidenced by a commitment increase agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the New Lenders, if any, and Lenders increasing their Commitments, if any, and which shall indicate the amount and allocation of such increase in the Aggregate Commitments and the effective date of such increase (the “Increase Effective Date”). Each financial institution that becomes a New Lender pursuant to this Section by the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of the applicable commitment increase agreement shall be a “Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement on the applicable Increase Effective Date. The Borrower shall borrow and prepay Loans on each Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans of each Lender ratable with such Lender’s revised Applicable Percentage after giving effect to any nonratable increase in the Aggregate Commitments under this Section.
(ii) As a condition precedent to each increase pursuant to subsection (c)(i) above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, the following in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional Commitments and become Lenders hereunder. Agent may allocate, in its discretion, the increased Commitments among committing Lenders and, if necessary, Eligible Assignees. Total Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Agent and Borrower Agent, provided the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at such time. Agent, Borrowers, and the new and existing Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Agent reasonably deems appropriate to evidence the increase in and allocations of Commitments.

Increase in Commitments. (a) Provided there exists no Default applicable to any Tranche A Borrower, upon notice by TMCC to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the appropriate Lenders), TMCC may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments applicable to all Tranche A Borrowers to an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding US$5,660,000,000.

Each appropriate Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any appropriate Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall notify all of the Tranche A Borrowers and each appropriate Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, TMCC may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; provided that the minimum commitment of each such Eligible Assignee is not less than US$10,000,000. The consent of the Lenders is not required to increase the amount of the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments pursuant to this Section, except that each appropriate Lender shall have the right to consent to an increase in the amount of its Commitment as set forth in this Section 2.14(a).

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Total Commitment be increased by an amount not to exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such request and on the date of any such increase. The Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such request to each Lender. The Borrower shall set forth in such request the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in minimum increments of $10,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and that, in any event, must be at least 60 days prior to the Maturity Date). The Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities that are Eligible Assignees to provide a Commitment hereunder pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) (each such Person so agreeing being an “ Augmenting Lender ”) and/or the Borrower may offer to each Lender the opportunity to increase its Commitment by its Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each such Lender so agreeing being an “ Increasing Lender ”) or decline to increase its Commitment (and any such Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment and each Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “ Non-Increasing Lender ”).
