Salary Increments The Employer may grant an increment for meritorious service after an Employee has served for a period of twelve (12) months following the day established in Article 25.07 or twelve (12) months following the date of a change in his rate of compensation as established in Articles 25.04, 25.05, or 25.06.
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".

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. This in-crease will become effective at the beginning of the sixteenth year.

Additional Term Loans Subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in Section 4 of the Eleventh Amendment, each 2014-1 Additional Term Lender agrees to make a loan in Dollars (the “2014-1 Additional Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date in the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s 2014-1 Additional Term Commitment. No amount of a 2014-1 Additional Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed hereunder.

If the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans Termination Date occurs, the proceeds of the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans shall be released from escrow on the conditions set forth in the Eleventh Amendment Escrow Agreement and refunded and repaid in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) to the 2014-1 Additional Term Lenders on the 2014-1 Additional Term Loan Maturity Date in accordance with the Eleventh Amendment Escrow Agreement.

Each Delayed Draw Term Loan will be evidenced by a Delayed Draw Term Loan Note appropriately completed in accordance with the terms of the form of Delayed Draw Term Loan Note attached hereto as Exhibit G to include the applicable interest rate and required amortization payments; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes shall not exceed the Maximum Delayed Draw Term Loan Principal Amount. Interest on each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall accrue commencing on the Delayed Draw Funding Date for such Delayed Draw Term Loan at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR Rate plus 5.95%.
