(c)            At the time of and immediately after the Amendment Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(d)            The representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except that (i) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (ii) any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” is true and correct in all respects.
