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

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:

Incremental Commitments (a) The Company may from time to time notify the Administrative Agent that certain of the Lenders designated by the Company and/or that additional lenders shall be added to this Agreement as Incremental Lenders with Commitments for the purpose of increasing the existing Commitments under the Facility (a “Commitment Increase”) by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Loan Activation Notice signed by such Lenders or such additional lenders and specifying (i) the respective Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders and (ii) the applicable Commitment Increase Date; provided, that after giving effect to such Commitment Increase (including the incurrence of any Incremental Loans on the applicable Commitment Increase Date and use of proceeds thereof) (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing and (y) the sum of the Total Commitments then in effect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Incremental Commitments) shall not exceed $2 billion.
(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.
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)
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.
Incremental Facilities The Borrower shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the making of incremental term loans hereunder (“Incremental Term Loans”, and any such increase or Incremental Term Loans, an “Incremental Facility”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such Incremental Facility the aggregate amount of the sum of the Revolving Commitments plus the principal amount of Term Loans (including any such Incremental Term Loans) shall not exceed $650,000,000. The allocation of any increase between the Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans shall be made at the time Borrower requests such increase. Each such Incremental Facility must be an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. The Arrangers, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such Incremental Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase or Incremental Term Loans and the allocations thereof among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide a new Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Loans, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee and, if such new Lender is assuming Revolving Commitments, must be subject to the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Lenders under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. Revolving Loans made pursuant to any increased Revolving Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans and Term Loans, (ii) shall be equally and ratably secured with the Revolving Loans and Term Loans, (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (x) shall not mature earlier than the Term Loans and (y) shall have no amortization or otherwise be permitted to be prepaid prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, and (iv) shall be treated substantially the same (and in any event not more favorably than) the Revolving Loans. Effecting any Incremental Facility under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date), and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such Incremental Facility and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such Incremental Facility; (ii) a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lender providing such Incremental Facility, which supplement may include such amendments to this agreement as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement such Incremental Facility contemplated by this Section 2.17., together with the consent of the Guarantors thereto; (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iv) new or replacement Revolving Notes or Term Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any Lenders participating in such Incremental Facility, as applicable, in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment or aggregate Term Loans at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility. In connection with any Incremental Facility, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.
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.
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.
