The maturity date of the new revolving tranche of commitments may, upon request by the Company, and at the option of each applicable lender under the new tranche be extended by 12 months, but not beyond May 28, 2024, which is the maturity date of the existing and increased commitments. Other than with respect to the maturity date, the terms of all revolving commitments and loans made pursuant thereto are identical. The increase in the existing commitments, and the commitments with respect to the new tranche were effective on August 20, 2020 and became available upon January 5, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, total revolving commitments available, subject to usage, under the amended credit agreement was $3.7 billion. As of March 31, 2021, $750 million of borrowings were outstanding. As of May 6, 2021, there were $70 million of borrowings outstanding. Non-Recourse Debt Put Option Agreement for Senior Debt Issuance As further discussed in Part IV, Item 15, Note 14, Long-term Debt and Finance Leases of the Company's 2020 Form 10-K, the Company entered into a Put Option Agreement for Senior Debt Issuances (the “P-Caps”). In connection with the issuance of the P-Caps, on December 11, 2020, NRG entered into an amended and restated facility agreement for the issuance of letters of credit (the “LC Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) and administrative agent pursuant to which certain financial institutions (the “LC Issuers”) have agreed to provide letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $874 million to support the operations of NRG and its subsidiaries and minority investments, including to replace certain letters of credit and other credit support issued for the account of entities acquired pursuant to the Direct Energy Acquisition. In addition, on December 11, 2020, the Trust entered into an amended and restated pledge and control agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), among NRG, the Trust and the Collateral Agent for the LC Issuers, under which the Trust agreed to grant a pledge over the Eligible Treasury Assets in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the LC Issuers. Pursuant to the LC Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent is entitled to withdraw Eligible Treasury Assets from the Trust’s pledged account, following notice to NRG, in the event NRG has failed to reimburse amounts drawn under any letter of credit issued pursuant to the LC Agreement, and the LC Issuers have the right to instruct the Collateral Agent to enforce the pledge over the Eligible Treasury Assets upon the occurrence of any event of default under the LC Agreement (a “Collateral Enforcement Event”). The LC Agreement and the Pledge Agreement were available on January 5, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, $689 million of letters of credit were issued under the LC Agreement.
