(b) Each of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof (except to the extent stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).
(c) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
4. Conditions. This Amendment shall be effective upon execution by each Borrower, the Agent and the Majority Lenders.
