3.Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:
(a)The representations and warranties made by each Loan Party in Article V of the Credit Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof except for those representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality in which case those
