Availability period
Also known as the commitment period. It is a set period during which a borrower may drawdown a loan.
In a term loan, it is usually a relatively short period after signing the facility agreement. In a revolving loan, the period extends, in general terms, throughout the life of the loan.
Typically, any commitment fees will accrue and be payable during this period.
