- No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties expressly contained in this Section 1 and in the final sentence of Section 3(c) hereof, such Stockholder makes no express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such Stockholder, the Subject Shares, or otherwise.

Each Stockholder hereby represents that, as of the date hereof, it is not engaged in substantive discussions or negotiations with any party with respect to any Alternative Proposal.
