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. So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the LC Bank and upon prior notice to the Lenders, the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Commitment with respect to one or more Lenders or cause additional Persons to become parties to this Agreement, as lenders, at any time following the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date; provided, that any such increase in such Lenders’ Commitments and the Commitments of all such additional Lenders may not exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate during the life of this Agreement; provided, that each request for an increase and addition shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000. At the time of sending such notice with respect to any Lender, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which such Lenders and the Administrative Agent are requested to respond to the Borrower’s request (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent). Each Lender being asked to increase its Commitment, the LC Bank and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower within the applicable time period whether or not such Person agrees, in its respective sole discretion, to the increase to such Lender’s Commitment. Any such Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Lender’s Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Lender then being asked to increase its Commitment (or an additional Lender), the Administrative Agent and the LC Bank shall be required in order to approve any such request. If the Commitment of any Lender is increased (or a new Person is added as Lender) in accordance with this clause (h), the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the LC Bank and the Borrower shall determine the effective date with respect to such increase and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase; it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent or any Lender increasing its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.01(h) may request any of (x) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower approving or consenting to such Commitment increase and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of any amendment to this Agreement, (y) a corpo...

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 $1...
