(d)    Each New Lender acknowledges, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders including the Exiting Lender, as follows:

(i)    no Lender or Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Lender or any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession;

Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement provides that the Loan Documents, in addition to the Credit Agreement, may be amended with the consent of the Majority Lenders.
