Competitive Borrowings Clause Samples
The Competitive Borrowings clause allows a borrower to seek loans from multiple lenders on a competitive basis, typically outside the standard loan terms set by the main credit agreement. In practice, this means the borrower can request bids from participating lenders for short-term loans, often at potentially lower interest rates or more favorable terms, depending on market conditions. This clause provides the borrower with flexibility to access additional funding quickly and at competitive rates, helping to optimize borrowing costs and respond efficiently to short-term liquidity needs.
Competitive Borrowings. (a) The Competitive Bid Option. In addition to the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans which may be made available pursuant to subsection 2.1, the Borrower may, as set forth in this subsection 2.3, request the U.S. Lenders to make offers to make Competitive Loans to the Borrower during the Commitment Period. The U.S. Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers, and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this subsection 2.3.
Competitive Borrowings. (a) The Competitive Bid Option.

The Non-Extending Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers, and GM may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this subsection 2.5. Competitive Loans shall be denominated in Dollars.
(b) Competitive Bid Request.

(iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period contained in subsection 1.1, and
(iv) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be of Eurodollar Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans.
