      “Multibank Revolving Commitments” means the commitments by the Banks to the Borrower with respect to the Multibank Revolving Commitments described in Section 2.1 of this Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the proportionate amounts set forth opposite the name of each Bank on the signature pages hereto under the heading “Revolving Commitments” or in the most recent Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Bank, as the same may be reduced or terminated pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 13.2”
