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.

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.
Investigation by Buyer Buyer has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the Business, the Acquired Assets, operations, technology, assets, liabilities, financial condition and prospects of the Business as formerly carried on by Seller and acknowledges that Seller has provided Buyer with reasonable access to the personnel, properties, premises and records of the Business for this purpose.

No information or knowledge obtained by Parent or its Representatives in any investigation conducted pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger), or the remedies available to the parties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information to the extent such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such Person or violate any applicable Law.
Investigations; Litigation There is no investigation or review pending (or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened) by any Governmental Entity with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, and there are no actions, suits, inquiries, investigations or proceedings pending (or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened) against or affecting Parent or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties at law or in equity before, and there are no orders, judgments or decrees of, or before, any Governmental Entity, in each case which would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser's efforts to obtain Purchaser Financing, as defined in Section 5.07. Seller's cooperation shall include the negotiation and execution of a consent with the lenders with respect to the Operative Agreements, which consent shall include providing such lenders with rights to cure a Purchaser default under the Operative Agreements; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated, in connection with such cooperation or consent, to take any action or enter into any agreement that would have any adverse effect on Seller or any of its rights or benefits under this Agreement or the Operative Agreements.
