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. Borrowers may request an increase in Commitments from time to time upon notice to Administrative Agent by adding to this Agreement one or more Eligible Assignees that are not already Lenders hereunder to issue additional Commitments and become Lenders hereunder or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments (but no existing Lender shall be required to, or have any obligation to, increase its Commitments), as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (other than requests for the entire remaining amount under the aggregate limit set forth in clause (b) below) and is offered on the same terms as existing Commitments, except for a closing fee specified by Borrowers, (b) increases under this Section 2.1.7 do not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate, (c) no more than three (3) reductions in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 and increases pursuant to this Section 2.1.7, taken together, shall be made, and in no event shall any reduction or increase occur within 6 months of the date of any previous reduction or increase, as the case may be, (d) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of the request for increase and immediately before and after giving effect thereto, and (e) the requested increase does not cause the Commitments to exceed any applicable cap under the terms of any indenture, note agreement or other agreement governing the Secured Notes, the Senior Notes, any Debt permitted under Section 10.2.1(g), and any Refinancing Debt in respect of the foregoing. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of the requested increase and, within 10 Business Days thereafter, each Lender shall notify Administrative Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its Commitment. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional Commitments and become Lenders hereunder. Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent shall determine the allocation of the increased Commitments among committing Lenders and, if necessary, Eligible Assignees. Provided the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) (and if a Borrowing is to be made in connection with such increase, clauses (d), (e) and (f)) of Section 6.2 are satisfied, total Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or at Borrower Agent’s election, such lesser amount...
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:
(A) a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that each of the conditions to such increase set forth in this Section 2.01(c) shall have occurred and been complied with and that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations...
Increase in Commitments. (a) At any time prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Borrowers shall have the ability, in consultation with the Agent and through written notice to the Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit D (the “Increase Notice”), to request increases in the Aggregate Commitment (each, a “Requested Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any Requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all such increases shall not exceed $500,000,000, (iii) each such Requested Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000,000 or, if less, the maximum remaining amount permitted pursuant to clause (ii) above, (iv) any such increase shall be allocated among each Borrower’s Sublimit in accordance with the Increase Notice (it being understood that any such Sublimit changes shall not count as one of the eight Sublimit reallocations the Borrowers are permitted each fiscal year under Section 2.7(c)), (v) the other terms and documentation in respect of such Requested Commitment Increase shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (vi) no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the proposed Requested Commitment Increase.
(b) The Agent shall promptly give notice of such Requested Commitment Increase to the Lenders. Each Lender shall notify the Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period of time which may be agreed upon by the Agent and the Borrowers and communicated to the Lenders) from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders whether or not it offers to increase its Commitment and, if so, by what amount. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to offer to increase its Commitment. The Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. The Borrowers shall have the right at their sole discretion to accept or reject in whole or in part any offered Commitment increase or at their own expense to solicit a Commitment from any third party financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent. 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 Agent and the Borrowers.

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which such Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount increase is to become effective;
(ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 of this Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date on which such Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount increase is to become effective (except to the extent they expressly relate to an earlier date);
(iii) on or before the date on which such Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount increase is to become effective, the Administrative Agent shall have received, for its own account, the mutually acceptable fees and expenses required by separate agreement of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to be paid in connection with such increase;
(iv) such Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount increase shall be an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and shall in no event be less than $5,000,000; and
(v) such requested Aggregate Revolving Commitment increase shall be effective on such date only to the extent that, on or before such date, (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received and accepted a corresponding amount of Additional Commitment(s) pursuant to a commitment letter(s) acceptable to the Administrative Agent from one or more Lenders acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Lender that is not at such time a Lender hereunder, to the Borrower and (B) each such Lender has executed an agreement in the form of Schedule 3.4(c) hereto (each such agreement a "New Commitment Agreement"), accepted in writing therein by the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Lender that is not at such time a Lender hereunder, by the Borrower, with respect to the Additional Commitment of such Lender.
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. At the time of sending such notice, TMCC (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than 10 Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the appropriate Lenders). 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). If the Lenders and Eligible Assignees do not agree to increase the applicable Aggregate Tranche A Commitments by the amount requested by TMCC pursuant to this Section 2.14(a), TMCC may (i) withdraw its request for an increase in its entirety or (ii) accept, in whole or in part, the increases that have been offered.
