Longevity Increments 11.6.1 Each regular classified employee shall receive a two-range increase (5%) upon completion of five (5) years of satisfactory and continuous service. This increase will become effective at the beginning of the sixth year. 11.6.2 Each regular classified employee shall receive an additional two-range increase (5%) upon completion of ten (10) years of satisfactory and continuous service. This increase will become effective at the beginning of the eleventh year. 11.6.3 Each regular classified employee shall receive an additional two-range increase (5%) upon completion of fifteen (15) years of satisfactory and continuous service.

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".
Date Increment Due Increments shall accrue and become due and payable on the next day following completion of required service as an employee in the class, unless otherwise provided herein.
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.
Incremental Facility (a) So long as no Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or 8(f) exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date, (i) to request new term loan commitments under one or more new term loan credit facilities to be included in this Agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”), (ii) to increase any then-existing Tranche of Term Loans by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such existing Tranche of Term Loans (the “Supplemental Term Loan Commitments”), (iii) to request new commitments under one or more new revolving facilities to be included in this Agreement, which new revolving facilities may include one or more subfacilities for letters of credit or swing line loans (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”), and (iv) to increase any then existing Tranche of revolving commitments by requesting new revolving loan commitments be added to such existing Tranche of revolving commitments (the “Supplemental Revolving Commitments,” and together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), provided that, (i) the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments permitted pursuant to this subsection 2.5 shall not exceed, at the time the respective Incremental Commitment becomes effective (and after giving effect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith and the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness, including to refinance other Indebtedness), an amount that could then be Incurred under this Agreement in compliance with subsection 7.1(b)(i)(II) or the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount” and (ii) if any portion of an Incremental Commitment is to be incurred in reliance on clause (i) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount”, the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent, certifying compliance with the financial test set forth in such clause. Any loans made in respect of any such Incremental Commitment (other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Supplemental Revolving Commitments) shall be made by creating a new Tranche. (b) Each request from the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.5 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitments. The Incremental Commitments (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Incremental Lender”, and the Additional Incremental Lenders together with any existing Lender providing Incremental Commitments, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that if such Additional Incremental Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or any affiliate of a Lender hereunder or an Approved Fund, the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required (it being understood that any such Additional Incremental Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall be subject to the provisions of subsections 10.6(h) and 10.6(i), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if such Incremental Commitments and related Obligations had been obtained by such Lender by way of assignment). (c) Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Supplemental Revolving Commitments shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a supplement specifying the Tranche of Term Loans or revolving commitments to be increased, executed by the Borrower and each increasing Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Increase Supplement”) or by each Additional Incremental Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Lender Joinder Agreement”), as the case may be, which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register. An Increase Supplement or Lender Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments (including to subsection 2.2(b)) to the Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this subsection 2.5. Upon effectiveness of the Lender Joinder Agreement each Additional Incremental Lender shall be a Lender for all intents and purposes of this Agreement and the term loan made pursuant to such Supplemental Term Loan Commitment shall be a Term Loan or commitments made pursuant to such Supplemental Revolving Commitment shall be revolving commitments hereunder, as applicable. (d) Incremental Commitments (other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Supplemental Revolving Commitments) shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Commitment Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower and each applicable Incremental Lender. An Incremental Commitment Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (x) to effect the provisions of this subsection 2.5 and/or (y) so long as such amendments are not materially adverse to the other Lenders, to maintain the fungibility of any such Incremental Term Loans with any tranche of then outstanding Term Loans, provided, however, that (i) (A) the Incremental Commitments will not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, and will be secured by the same Collateral securing the Term Loan Facility Obligations or (at the Borrower’s option) will be unsecured, (B) the Incremental Commitments and any incremental loans drawn thereunder (the “Incremental Loans”) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with or (at the Borrower’s option) junior to the Term Loan Facility Obligations and (C) no Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide for (I) any Incremental Commitment or any Incremental Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the Loans and (II) so long as any Initial Term Loans, Incremental B-2019 Term Loans or Incremental B-2021 Term Loans are outstanding, any mandatory prepayment from the Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Dispositions (other than any Asset Disposition in respect of any assets, business or Person the acquisition of which was financed, all or in part, with Incremental Loans provided pursuant to such Incremental Commitment Amendment and the disposition of which was contemplated by any definitive agreement in respect of such acquisition) or Recovery Event, to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event are required to be applied to repay the Initial Term Loans, Incremental B-2019 Term Loans or Incremental B-2021 Term Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(c), on more than a ratable basis with the Initial Term Loans, Incremental B-2019 Term Loans or Incremental B-2021 Term Loans (after giving effect to any amendment in accordance with subsection 10.1(d)(v)); (ii) no Lender will be required to provide any such Incremental Commitment unless it so agrees; (iii) the maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be no earlier than or shorter than, as the case may be, the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date or the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans, as applicable (other than an earlier maturity date and/or shorter weighted average life to maturity for customary bridge financings, which, subject to customary conditions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith), would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which does not provide for an earlier maturity date or a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date or the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans, as applicable); (iv) the interest rate margins and (subject to clause (iii) above) amortization schedule applicable to the loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; (v) such Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide for (1) the inclusion, as appropriate, of Additional Incremental Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Tranche hereunder, (2) class voting and other class protections for any additional credit facilities, (3) the amendment of the definitions of “Disqualified Stock”, “Junior Capital” and “Refinancing Indebtedness”, in each case only to extend the maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity requirements, from the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans to the extended maturity date and the remaining weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loans, as applicable; and (vi) the other terms and documentation in respect thereof, to the extent not consistent with this Agreement as in effect prior to giving effect to the Incremental Commitment Amendment, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, the terms and documentation governing the Initial Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
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.
Wage Increases The wage rates in this Agreement will only be increased in accordance with any increases which may be awarded by the Australian Fair Pay Commission through wage reviews. The level of any increases will be such that the percentage wage increase as set out in Clause 15 of this agreement will be maintained. No additional increases in wage rates will apply to the rate of pay in Clause 15 of this Agreement while it is in operation.
Commitment Increase From time to time after the Closing Date, the Revolving Commitments may be increased (but in no event in excess of $50,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases) (the “Commitment Increase Cap”) such that the aggregate Revolving Commitments shall at no time exceed $450,000,000 (any such increase, a “Commitment Increase”) at the option of Borrower pursuant to delivery of written notice from Borrower of a proposed Commitment Increase to the Administrative Agent if each of the following conditions have been met: (a) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or would result from such Commitment Increase; (b) no Commitment Increase may be in an amount less than $10,000,000; (c) no existing Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Commitment in connection with any Commitment Increase; (d) the proposed Commitment Increase shall have been consented to in writing by each existing Lender (if any) who is increasing its Revolving Commitment and/or each other institution (if any) that constitutes a permitted assignee under Section 11.04(b) and that has agreed to become a Lender in respect of all or a portion of the Commitment Increase (each such Lender, a “New Lender”); (e) the proposed Commitment Increase, together with any prior Commitment Increase, shall not exceed the Commitment Increase Cap; and (f) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) an agreement setting forth such Commitment Increase, together with Lender Addendums and promissory notes with respect thereto, (ii) evidence of corporate authorization on the part of the Loan Parties with respect to such Commitment Increase, (iii) opinions of counsel with respect to such Commitment Increase, (iv) amendments to the Security Documents in connection with such Commitment Increase, (v) on behalf of each existing Lender and/or New Lender participating in such Commitment Increase, payment of fees (if any) agreed to by Borrower and payable to such Persons in connection with such Commitment Increase and (vi) evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (d) above in connection with such Commitment Increase, in each case as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Each of the Borrower, Lenders and Administrative Agent acknowledges and agrees that each Commitment Increase meeting the conditions set forth in this Section 2.20 shall not require the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders, if any, which have agreed to increase their Revolving Commitments in connection with such proposed Commitment Increase. After giving effect to any Commitment Increase, it may be the case that the outstanding Revolving Loans are not held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Commitments. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of the applicable Commitment Increase, the Revolving Lenders (including, without limitation, any new Lenders) shall make payments to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, upon receipt of all such payments, to disburse such amounts to the Lenders so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Revolving Lenders (including, without limitation, any new Lenders), pro rata in accordance with the Pro Rate Percentages hereunder (after giving effect to the applicable Commitment Increase).
Increment In the Classification Level decided according to Article L9.07.01 above, establish the correct number of full years of approved and certified teaching experience, such placement not to exceed the number of years of experience provided for in the Level concerned. (See Article L9.06)
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.
