(d) Representations and Warranties. On the date hereof, each representation and warranty set forth in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as if made on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty was true and correct as of such date).

(e) No Default. No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or will exist after giving effect to this Amendment.
