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 resounds by an equal amount after a
takedown has been repaid.
4. Other commitments are expressions of willingness to lend, other
than for term loans and revolving credits, that are made known to the
customer and are characterized by detailed formal agreements specifying the terms and conditions under which a loan is to be made.
5. Confirmed lines of credit represent general expressions of willingness to lend, other than for term loans or revolving credits, that are
made known to the customer but are not characterized by detailed formal agreements specifying the terms and conditions under which a loan
is to be made.
