To the extent expressly permitted hereafter under this Agreement, Buyer will undertake such further investigation as it deems necessary. Buyer acknowledges that in entering this Agreement, in acquiring the Shares and in consummating the other transactions contemplated herein, Buyer has relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis and, to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and that none of the Seller Parties and the Company Group (and any of their respective agents, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or representatives) has made any representation or warranty as to the Seller Parties, the Company Group, the Shares, this Agreement or the business of the Company Group except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and Buyer agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that, except as expressly provided for herein or pursuant to the express provisions hereof, none of the Seller Parties (and any of their respective agents, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or representatives) shall have any liability to Buyer (or any of its agents, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or representatives) on any basis based upon any information made available or statements made to Buyer (or any of its agents, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or representatives).
Due Diligence Investigation Pubco shall be reasonably satisfied with the results of its due diligence investigation of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
Independent Investigation Subscriber, in making the decision to purchase the Units, has relied upon an independent investigation of the Company and has not relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written representations or assurances from the Company, its officers, directors or employees or any other representatives or agents of the Company, other than as set forth in this Agreement. Subscriber is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of the Company and has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company’s officers and directors concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Units and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as Subscriber has requested. Subscriber confirms that all documents that it has requested have been made available and that Subscriber has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning this investment which Subscriber has requested.
Environmental Investigation (a) Acquiror may, in its discretion, within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, require the Company to order, at Acquiror’s expense, a Phase I environmental site assessment to be delivered only to Acquiror for each parcel of real property in which the Company or an Acquired Subsidiary holds an interest or formerly held an interest (each a “Phase I Report”), conducted by an independent professional consultant reasonably acceptable to Acquiror to determine if any real property in which the Company or any Acquired Subsidiary holds any interest or formerly held an interest contains or gives evidence of any adverse environmental condition or any violations of Environmental Laws on any such property. If a Phase I Report discloses any violations or adverse environmental conditions, or reports a reasonable suspicion thereof, then Acquiror may promptly obtain, at the expense of the Company and Acquiror, shared equally, a Phase II environmental report with respect to any affected property which report shall contain an estimate of the cost of any remediation or other follow-up work that may be necessary to address those violations or conditions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (each a “Phase II Report,” and collectively referred to with the associated Phase I Report, an “Environmental Report”). Acquiror shall have no duty to act upon any information produced by an Environmental Report for the benefit of the Company, any Acquired Subsidiary or any other Person, but shall provide such information to the Company upon the Company’s request.
