(b) Each Incremental Lender that is a signatory to an Incremental Loan Activation Notice severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving credit loans (each, an “Incremental Loan”) to the Company and/or the applicable Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time on or after the Commitment Increase Date specified in such Incremental Loan Activation Notice in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Commitment of such Incremental Lender specified in such Incremental Loan Activation Notice, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Incremental Loan Activation Notice. Nothing in this Section 2.27 shall be construed to obligate any Lender to execute an Incremental Loan Activation Notice.
(c) On any Commitment Increase Date, in the event any Loans under the Facility are then outstanding, (i) each relevant Incremental Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such increased Commitments and the application of such amounts to prepay Loans under the Facility of other relevant Lenders, the Loans under the Facility to be held ratably by all Lenders with Commitments in the Facility in accordance with such Commitments after giving effect to such increase, (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans under this Agreement and (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.22 as a result of such prepayment.

Incremental Facility (a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request, prior to the Maturity Date, one or more increases to the existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the “New Commitments”), by an aggregate amount for all New Commitments not in excess of the Incremental Available Amount (subject to Section 1.07, determined as of the date of effectiveness of such New Commitments) and not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent or that shall constitute the remaining amount of New Commitments permitted to be incurred pursuant to this Section 2.18 at such time), and integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and which may be contingent upon the closing of an acquisition or other transaction and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an eligible assignee under Section 9.04(b), subject to approval thereof by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in the case of a Person that is not a Lender, to the extent such approval is required in the case of an assignment to such Person pursuant to such Section 9.04(b) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (each, a “New Lender”), to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such New Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (it being understood that the identity of such Lenders or other Persons may be amended after the date of such notice so long as the approval requirements, if any, are satisfied); provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment. Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that, subject to Section 1.07 (except as set forth in the parenthetical proviso to clause (1) below), (1) on such Increased Amount Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) (with references therein to the “Effective Date” being deemed to refer instead to such Increased Amount Date and, in the case of Section 4.02(b), before and after giving effect to such New Commitment) shall be satisfied (provided that if the proceeds of the Loans under such New Commitments are to be used to consummate a Limited Conditionality Acquisition, (x) no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Increased Amount Date before and after giving effect to such New Commitments (it being understood that the requirements of Section 4.02(b) shall otherwise be complied with in accordance with Section 1.07) and (y) the requirements of Section 4.02(a) shall be subject to, if agreed to by the lenders providing such New Commitments, customary “SunGard” or other customary applicable “certain funds” conditionality provisions (including the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the lenders providing such New Commitments, but only to the extent that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of the failure of such representation or warranty to be accurate)); (2) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Guarantor, if any, the New Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14; (3) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13 in connection with the New Commitments; and (4) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the New Lenders or the Issuing Banks in connection with any such transaction.
(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders shall assign to each of the New Lenders, and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Usage outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letter of Credit Usage will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (ii) each New Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Revolving Loan made thereunder (a “New Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan, and (iii) each New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (i) the New Commitments and the New Lenders, and (ii) the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letter of Credit Usage, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.18.
(d) The terms and provisions (including pricing) of the New Loans shall be identical to the existing Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) the New Loans will not be guaranteed by any Person other than (1) the Guarantors or (2) any Person that shall, substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such New Loans, become a Guarantor and (y) the New Loans will not be secured by any assets not constituting the Collateral, unless such assets are substantially concurrently pledged to secure the Secured Obligations on an equal and ratable basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 to the contrary, each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18.
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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may request from time to time that the Commitments be increased by an amount not less than $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof, provided that the Borrower may only request such an increase once in any six-month period and in no event shall the Commitments exceed $2,000,000,000. Such increase in the Commitments shall be effected as follows: the Borrower may (i) request one or more of the Lenders to increase the amount of its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment (which request shall be in writing and sent to the Administrative Agent to forward to such Lender or Lenders) and/or (ii) arrange for one or more financial institutions not a party hereto (a "Third-Party Lender") to become parties to and Lenders under this Agreement, provided that (x) the Administrative Agent shall have approved such Third-Party Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (y) after giving effect to such increase, no Lender shall have a U.S. Commitment Percentage or a Multicurrency Commitment Percentage which exceeds 15%. In no event may any Lender's U.S. Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment be increased without the prior written consent of such Lender, and the failure of any Lender to respond to the Borrower's request for an increase shall be deemed a rejection by such Lender of the Borrower's request. The Commitments may not be increased if, at the time of any proposed increase hereunder, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon any request by the Borrower to increase the Commitments hereunder, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the date of such request that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to increase the amount of its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment.
(b) If any Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to increase the amount of its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment hereunder (such a Lender hereinafter referred to as an "Increasing Lender"), it shall enter into a written agreement to that effect with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a "Commitment Increase Supplement"), which agreement shall specify, among other things, the amount of the increased U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment of such Increasing Lender. Upon the effectiveness of such Increasing Lender's increase in Commitment, Schedule I hereto shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to reflect the increased U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment of such Increasing Lender. Any Third-Party Lender which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not be unreasonably withheld), is willing to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder, shall enter into a written agreement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit I (an "Additional Lender Supplement"), which agreement shall specify, among other things, its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment hereunder. When such Third-Party Lender becomes a Lender hereunder as set forth in the Additional Lender Supplement, Schedule I shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to reflect the U.S. Commitment and/or the Multicurrency Commitment of such Third-Party Lender. Upon the execution by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Third-Party Lender of such Additional Lender Supplement, such Third-Party Lender shall become and be deemed a party hereto and a "Lender" hereunder for all purposes hereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of the Lenders set forth in this Agreement, and its U.S. Commitment and/or its Multicurrency Commitment shall be the amount specified in its Additional Lender Supplement. Each Third-Party Lender which executes and delivers an Additional Lender Supplement and becomes a party hereto and a "Lender" hereunder pursuant to such Additional Lender Supplement is hereinafter referred to as an "Additional Lender."
(c) In no event shall an increase in a Lender's U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment or the addition of a U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment of a Third-Party Lender become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the Borrower, to the effect that the representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing after giving effect to the increase in the Commitments resulting from the increase in such Lender's U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment or the extension of a U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment by such Third-Party Lender. In no event shall an increase in a Lender's U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment or the addition of a U.S. Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment of a Third-Party Lender which results in the Commitments exceeding the amount which is authorized at such time in resolutions previously delivered to the Administrative Agent become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing the borrowings contemplated pursuant to such increase, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Borrower. Concurrently with the execution by an Increasing Lender of a Commitment Increase Supplement or by an Additional Lender of an Additional Lender Supplement, the Borrower shall make such borrowing from such Increasing Lender or Additional Lender, and/or shall make such prepayment of outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans or Multicurrency Loans, as shall be required to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and Multicurrency Loans owing to each Lender (including each such Increasing Lender and Additional Lender) to be proportional to such U.S. Lender's share of the Aggregate U.S. Commitments and/or such Multicurrency Lender's share of the Multicurrency Commitments, respectively, after giving effect to any increase thereof. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense incurred as a result of any such prepayment in accordance with subsection 2.17, as applicable.
(d) Upon any Lender entering into a Commitment Increase Supplement or any Additional Lender becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent shall notify each other Lender thereof and shall deliver to each Lender a copy of the Additional Lender Supplement executed by such Additional Lender and the Commitment Increase Supplement executed by such Increasing Lender.
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.
