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

Action by Agent The obligations of the Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.
Evidence of Action by Holders (a) Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Debentures in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.
(b) If the Company shall solicit from the Debentureholders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Debentureholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Debentureholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Debentureholders for the purposes of determining whether Debentureholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Debentures have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Debentures shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Debentureholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.
