15



 

warranties are true and correct as of such date.  Each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank that, after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment and the other Modification Documents, no Default has occurred and been continuing.
