Investigation by Buyer Buyer has undertaken an independent review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Business and has performed all due diligence that it has deemed necessary to perform concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets, and the Assumed Obligations in connection with its decision to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and acknowledges that Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives have been provided access to the personnel, properties, premises and records of Seller for such purpose. In entering into this Agreement, Buyer has relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis, and Buyer:
(a) acknowledges that none of Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of Seller’s Representatives makes or has made any representation or warranty, of any kind or nature whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied (including, but not limited to, any relating to (a) projections, estimates or budgets delivered or made available to Buyer (or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or representatives) of, except as set forth in Section 5.4, the future results of operations (or any component thereof), cash flows or financial condition (or any component thereof), of the Business; (b) future business, operations, revenues or profits of the Business; (c) maintenance, repair, condition, design, performance, value, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of the Purchased Assets; or (d) as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives), except for those representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article V of this Agreement (as qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedules), and Seller hereby disclaims any such other representations or warranties;
(b) agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that none of Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of Seller’s Representatives shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever to Buyer on any basis based upon any information provided or made available, or statements made, to Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives (including any forecasts or projected information), except that the foregoing limitations shall not apply with respect to Seller to the extent Seller has liability for indemnification pursuant to Article IX for the breach of the specific representations and warranties set forth in Article V of this Agreement (as qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedules), but always subject to the limitations and restrictions contained herein;
(c) acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, there are no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Obligations; and
(d) none of Seller, its Affiliates or Seller’s Representatives shall have any liability or responsibility based upon any information provided or made available or statements made or omissions therefrom to Buyer, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives, except as and only to the extent expressly set forth in Article V of this Agreement (as qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedules).
Determination by Accountant All mathematical determinations, and all determinations as to whether any of the Total Payments are "parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), that are required to be made under this Section, including determinations as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, the reduction of the Total Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap, amounts relevant to the last sentence of this Section 6(b), and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made at Westport's expense by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm selected by Westport (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to Westport and the Employee by no later than ten (10) days following the Termination Date, if applicable, or such earlier time as is requested by Westport or the Employee (if the Employee reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Employee, it shall furnish the Employee and Westport with a written statement that such Accounting Firm has concluded that no Excise Tax is payable (including the reasons therefor) and that the Employee has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his or her federal income tax return. If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to the Employee within twenty (20) days after the Determination (and all accompanying calculations and other material supporting the Determination) is delivered to Westport by the Accounting Firm. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Westport and the Employee, absent manifest error. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments not made by Westport should have been made ("Underpayment"), or that Gross-Up Payments will have been made by Westport which should not have been made ("Overpayments"). In either such event, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred. In the case of an Underpayment, the amount of such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Westport to or for the benefit of the Employee. In the case of an Overpayment, the Employee shall, at the direction and expense of Westport, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for refund), follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, Westport, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Westport to correct such Overpayment, provided, however, that (i) the Employee shall not in any event be obligated to return to Westport an amount greater than the net after-tax portion of the Overpayment that he or she has retained or has recovered as a refund from the applicable taxing authorities and (ii) this provision shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent to make the Employee whole, on an after-tax basis, from the application of the Excise Tax, it being understood that the correction of an Overpayment may result in the Employee repaying to Westport an amount which is less than the Overpayment.
Investigation by Purchaser (a) Each Buyer Party acknowledges that it and its representatives have been permitted reasonable access to the Books and Records, facilities, equipment, Tax Returns, Contracts, insurance policies (or summaries thereof) and other Properties of the Acquired Companies, and that it and its representatives have had a reasonable opportunity to meet with the officers and employees of the Acquired Companies to discuss the Business. Each of the Buyer Parties further acknowledges that, except as set forth in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Schedules and the certificates to be delivered at the Closing, (i) none of Seller, the Acquired Companies or any other Person has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Acquired Companies or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Acquired Companies furnished or made available to the Buyer Parties and their respective representatives, (ii) neither Buyer Party has relied on any representation or warranty from Seller, the Acquired Companies or any other Person in determining to enter into this Agreement, and (iii) neither Seller nor any other Person shall have or be subject to any liability to the Buyer Parties or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Buyer Parties or any other Person, or the Buyer Parties’ or any other Person’s use of, any information, documents or material made available to the Buyers Parties’ or any other Person in any “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions.
(b) As of the date of this Agreement, the Buyer Parties and their respective Affiliates do not have any actual knowledge that the representations and warranties of Seller made in this Agreement qualified as to materiality are not true and correct, or that those not so qualified are not true and correct in any material respect. The Buyer Parties do not have any actual knowledge of any material errors in, or omissions from, any Schedule.
Independence from Material Breach Determination Except as set forth in Section X.D.1.c, these provisions for payment of Stipulated Penalties shall not affect or otherwise set a standard for OIG’s decision that Xxxxx has materially breached this IA, which decision shall be made at OIG’s discretion and shall be governed by the provisions in Section X.D, below.

Management by Manager i) The Member hereby elects Charter Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as CCH I, LLC) (“CCI”), or its successor-in-interest, as the Company’s manager (the “Manager”).

No additional person may be elected as Manager without the approval of a simple majority of the Votes (for purposes of this Agreement, to the extent the context requires, the term “person” refers to both individuals and entities). Except as otherwise required by applicable law and as provided below with respect to the Manager’s board of directors (the “Board”), the powers of the Company shall at all times be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Manager. The Manager is a “manager” of the Company within the meaning of the Act. Any person appointed as Manager shall accept its appointment by execution of a consent to this Agreement.
ii) The Manager shall be authorized to elect, remove or replace directors and officers of the Company, who shall have such authority with respect to the management of the business and affairs of the Company as set forth herein or as otherwise specified by the Manager in the resolution or resolutions pursuant to which such directors or officers were elected.

Cooperation by Holders The Partnership shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a) if such Holder has failed to timely furnish such information that the Partnership determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for any registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.
