Any Incremental Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate tranche of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments (other than Incremental A$ Revolving Commitments) shall be identical to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments.
(d) On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Term Loans are to be made, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Person with a commitment to make an Incremental Term Loan (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the applicable Borrower, in an amount equal to such commitment amount and (ii) each Incremental Term Loan Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto.
