1. Unused commitments are the amounts still available for lending under
official promises to lend that are expressly conveyed to the bank's customers
orally or in writing, usually in the form of a formally executed agreement
signed by one of the bank's officers,
2. Commitments for term loans are those for loans with an original maturity of more than one year.
3. Revolving credits are commitment agreements whereby the borrower
may draw and repay loans at will with no repayment penalty and under
which the commitment rebounds by an equal amount after a takedown has
been repaid.
