Action by Vote When a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority of Trustees present may take any action, except when a larger vote is expressly required by law, by the Declaration of Trust or by these By-Laws. Subject to applicable law, the Trustees by majority vote may delegate to any one of their number their authority to approve particular matters or take particular actions on behalf of the Trust.
Succession by Xxxxxx, Etc Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08. In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
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.
Action by Consent Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Trustees or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if a written consent of such action is signed by a majority of the Trustees then in office or a majority of the members of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Trustees or such committee.

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).
Termination by Purchaser (i) This Agreement may be terminated by Purchaser at any time prior to the Closing, if (A) Seller shall have breached or failed to comply, in any material respect, with any of Seller’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (B) there shall have been a breach of or inaccuracy in any material respect when made with one or more of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement and, in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, such breach, failure or inaccuracy would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01 to be satisfied, which breach, failure or inaccuracy is not cured (if capable of being cured prior to the Closing) within thirty (30) days (or by the Outside Date, if sooner) after receiving notice thereof from Purchaser; provided, that Purchaser may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(ii) only if at the time of termination (x) Purchaser is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and (y) Purchaser has satisfied those conditions set forth in Section 7.02 required to be satisfied by it (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing). (ii) This Agreement may be terminated by Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date; provided, however, that (A) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(ii) only if at the time of termination (x) Purchaser is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and (y) Purchaser has satisfied those conditions set forth in Section 7.02 required to be satisfied by it (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and (B) Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(ii) during the pendency of any Legal Proceeding brought by Seller for specific performance of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 10.15. (iii) This Agreement may be terminated by Purchaser at any time prior to the Closing, if a final, non-appealable Closing Legal Impediment shall be in effect; provided, that Purchaser may not rely upon this Section 9.01(b)(iii) to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser’s failure to fulfill any obligation or condition under this Agreement materially contributed to the cause of such Closing Legal Impediment.
