Since February 28, 2004, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. (ii) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto or in the Information Memorandum, none of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries has, as of the Effective Date, any material contingent liabilities, long-term commitments that were not incurred by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their business or unrealized losses.

 

(f) There is no pending or threatened action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding, including, without limitation, any Environmental Action, affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, that (i) is likely to result in a material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
