(e)no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment or the Amended Credit Agreement; and

(f)neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the performance of this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement will (i) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of (or any requirement to create) any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under (x) any Contractual Obligation to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or affecting any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or the properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective property is subject, the conflict or breach of which under the foregoing clauses (x) and/or (y) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) violate any Law.
