Step Increases (a) The following is the method used to determine service credit, since the last date of hire, for purposes of positioning on the salary range: i) all continuous service shall be retained and transferred with the employee if she/he changes her/his status from full-time to part- time and vice versa. ii) a part-time employee who changes status to full-time will be given credit on the basis of fifteen hundred (1500) paid hours of part- time being equivalent to one (1) year of full-time service and vice versa. iii) in addition, an employee who is so transferred will be given credit for paid hours accumulated since the date of last advancement. (b) Annual increments for full-time employees shall be paid on their anniversary date. (c) Annual increments for part-time employees shall be paid on the completion of each fifteen hundred (1500) hours worked.
Annual Increases On each anniversary of Employee's termination from employment, any remaining amounts to be paid during the next year pursuant to this Paragraph 9 shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the amounts required to be paid by Employer hereunder under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 during the preceding year.
Funding Increases Before the Funder can make an allocation of additional funds to the HSP, the parties will: (1) agree on the amount of the increase; (2) agree on any terms and conditions that will apply to the increase; and (3) execute an amendment to this Agreement that reflects the agreement reached.
Incremental Term Loans (a) The Borrower shall have the right from time to time during the term of this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.17, to request in writing incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) be made under this Agreement by Incremental Term Lenders pursuant to one or more Incremental Term Loan Agreements. Such notice to the Administrative Agent shall set forth the date on which such Incremental Term Loans are requested to be made (which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice (which time periods may be modified or waived at the discretion of the Administrative Agent)) and include the applicable completed Incremental Term Loan Agreement for such Incremental Term Loans as an attachment thereto; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Incremental Term Loan Agreement, such Incremental Term Loans shall mature on the Maturity Date, shall not require any mandatory prepayments thereof and shall not amortize. In connection with any such request, the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but no consent of any Lender (other than any Lender providing an Incremental Term Loan pursuant to such request) is required to be obtained. (b) Any such Incremental Term Loans shall be made, at the option of the Borrower, by (x) one or more existing Lenders and/or (y) one or more financial institutions that is not an existing Lender (any such Lender or financial institution referred to in this Section 2.17(b) being called an “Incremental Term Lender”); provided that any such non-existing Lender or financial institution (A) must be an Eligible Assignee, (B) must have an Incremental Term Loan of at least $5,000,000 unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (C) must become an Incremental Term Lender under this Agreement by execution and delivery of an Incremental Term Loan Agreement; provided, further, that no Lender shall be required to become an Incremental Term Lender and any Lender or financial institution approached to provide an Incremental Term Loan may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan. (c) The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender that has agreed to provide an Incremental Term Loan pursuant to such request shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to provide for the requested Incremental Term Loans. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Agreement shall become effective and no Incremental Term Loans shall be provided under this Section 2.17 unless: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of the request or at the time of the making of the proposed Incremental Term Loans; (ii) all conditions precedent for a Borrowing set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied; (iii) the Borrower shall have provided Incremental Term Loan Cash Collateral as required pursuant to Section 6.10 hereof and the Administrative Agent shall have received copies of the Collateral Documents or any amendments thereto that the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary, signed, to the extent applicable, by each of the parties thereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent of telegraphic, telecopy, electronic communication or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart thereof by such party), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, resolutions and closing certificates and other documentation as it shall reasonably request, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and (v) to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Lender making an Incremental Term Loan, the Borrower shall have executed and delivered Incremental Term Notes in favor of such Incremental Term Lenders evidencing such Incremental Term Loans.
Annual Increments 12.1 Employees will proceed to the maximum of their salary range by annual increments, after 12 months’ continuous service at each increment point, unless there is an adverse report on the Employee's performance or conduct which recommends the non-payment of an annual increment. 12.2 The following process will apply where a report on an Employee’s performance or conduct recommends the non-payment of an annual increment: (a) The Employee will be shown the report prior to completing 12 months’ continuous service since their last incremental advance; (b) The Employee will be provided with an opportunity to comment in writing; (c) The Employee’s comments will be considered immediately by the Employer and a decision made as to whether to approve the payment of the increment or withhold payment for a specific period; and (d) Where the increment is withheld, the Employer before the expiry of the specified period will complete a further report and the above provisions will apply. 12.3 The non-payment of an increment will not change the normal anniversary date of any further increment payments. 12.4 For the purposes of this clause "continuous service", except where an increment is payable according to age, will not include any period: (a) exceeding 14 calendar days during which an Employee is absent on Leave Without Pay. In the case of leave without pay which exceeds 14 calendar days the entire period of such Leave Without Pay is excised in full; (b) which exceeds six (6) months in one continuous period during which an Employee is absent on workers' compensation. Provided that only that portion of such continuous absence which exceeds six (6) months will not count as "continuous service"; and (c) which exceeds three (3) months in one (1) continuous period during which an Employee is absent on Personal Leave without pay. Provided that only that portion of such continuous absence which exceeds three (3) months will not count as "continuous service".
Commitment Increases (a) At any time after the Closing Date, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may request an increase of the aggregate Commitments by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the "Offered Increase Amount") of such proposed increase (such notice, a "Commitment Increase Notice"), provided that the first such increase shall be in an amount equal to at least $93,750,000 and the second such increase shall be in an amount equal to $187,500,000 less the amount of the first such increase. Any such Commitment Increase Notice must offer each Lender the opportunity to subscribe for its pro rata share of the increased Commitments. If any portion of the increased Commitments is not subscribed for by the Lenders, the Company may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent as to any Person that is not at such time a Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), offer to any existing Lender or to one or more additional banks or financial institutions the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of such unsubscribed portion of the increased Commitments pursuant to paragraph (b) below. (b) Any additional bank or financial institution that the Company selects to offer participation in the increased Commitments, and that elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Commitment shall execute a New Lender Supplement with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit N (a "New Lender Supplement"), whereupon such bank or financial institution (a "New Lender") shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of such New Lender, provided that the Commitment of any such New Lender shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000. (c) Any Lender that accepts an offer to it by the Company to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement 44 40 with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit O (a "Commitment Increase Supplement"), whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender. (d) The effectiveness of any New Lender Supplement or Commitment Increase Supplement shall be contingent upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such corporate resolutions of the Borrowers and legal opinions of counsel to the Borrowers as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (e) If any bank or financial institution becomes a New Lender pursuant to Section 2.24(b) or any Lender's Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.24(c), additional Revolving Credit Advances made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the "Re-Allocation Date") shall be made pro rata based on the Commitment Percentages in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such new Lender and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective Commitments), and continuations of Eurodollar Rate Advances outstanding on such Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Eurodollar Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the making of new Eurodollar Rate Advances pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Base Rate Advances, the Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of Base Rate Advances so that, after giving effect thereto, the Base Rate Advances outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances, such Eurodollar Rate Advances shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the applicable Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Eurodollar Rate Advances will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Eurodollar Rate Advances pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.24, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section 2.24 cause the aggregate Commitments to exceed $937,500,000, (ii) no increase pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be effective without the consent of the Required Lenders and (iii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 45 41 (g) The Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Notes of any Lender, if any, new Notes to the order of such Lender, if requested, in an amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender after giving effect to any increase in such Lender's Commitment.
Incremental Term Loan Commitments (a) Each Borrower shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent but without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request, at any time and from time to time prior to the then latest Maturity Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to such Borrower and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request, (ii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be made available to a single Incremental Term Loan Borrower and shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) the amount of each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000, (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amount, (v) the up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees payable in respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower and each Incremental Term Loan Lender (and with all such fees to be disclosed in writing by the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower to the Administrative Agent), (vi) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (I) (x) an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of no earlier than the then latest Maturity Date as then in effect, and (y) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Tranche of then outstanding Loans with the longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity and (II) an “interest rate” or “interest rates” applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the life of such Incremental Term Loans) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans) that may (at such time or from time to time thereafter) exceed the “interest rates” applicable to the Term Loans; provided that, in the event that the “interest rate” excess applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall at such time be greater than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin for the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, the Tranche C-2 Term Loans and each other then existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be increased by such amounts, and for such time periods, as are needed so that at no time shall the “interest rate” for the respective new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (calculated as described above) exceed the relevant interest rates applicable to the then existing Tranches of Term Loans by more than 0.50%, (vii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 7.05(a), (viii) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche may be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans) or an increase in a previously established Tranche), (ix) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the relevant Security Documents, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Loans of the applicable Borrower secured by each such Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty, and (x) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 1.01(c) and such Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents. (b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.14, the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I (appropriately completed), with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.
Wage Increase 1. The minimum hourly wage amounts in the salary table in column I (job grades 1 up to and includ- ing 3) concern the statutory minimum wage and are adjusted in the event of an increase in the statutory minimum wage. 2. Each calendar year, in principle before 1 July, the CLA parties shall conduct talks on the adjust- ment of the (other) amounts shown in the salary table (column I, job grades 4 up to and including 6, column II and III) in article 28(2) of the CLA from 1 July of that year. 3. If an adjustment of the salary table (column I, job grades 4 up to and including 6, columns II and III) is agreed pursuant to paragraph 2 of this article, this will be applied as follows: a. The salary table (column I, job grades 4 up to and including 6, columns II and III) will be increased by the agreed percentage and b. the actual wage of the temporary agency worker will be increased by the agreed percentage from the agreed date.
Effective Date of Increase Price increases shall be effective upon final approval by the State, and may not be posted on the pricelist prior to receipt of final approval.
Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.
