Each Seller (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and (b) has all requisite power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its properties and carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to have such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

Each Seller has the requisite power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is or will be party, and to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance of each Seller’s obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by the board of managers, board of directors or similar governing body of such Seller or its general partner and no other proceedings on the part of such Seller or its general partner are necessary to authorize such execution, delivery and performance.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER

The Buyer represents and warrants to the Sellers as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (except for such representations and warranties expressly made as of a specified date) as follows:

Section 5.01 Existence. The Buyer (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and (b) has all requisite power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its properties and carry on its business as its business is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.02 Validity of Agreement; Authorization. The Buyer has the requisite power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is or will be party, and to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance of the Buyer’s obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by the board of directors or similar governing body of the Buyer, and no other proceedings on the part of the Buyer are necessary to authorize such execution, delivery and performance. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is or will be a party has been (in the case of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents executed on the date hereof), or will be at the Closing (in the case of any other Transaction Documents), duly executed and delivered by the Buyer and constitutes, or will constitute at the Closing, as applicable, the Buyer’s valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by the Remedies Exception).

Section 5.03 Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval, waiver or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required on the part of the Buyer for the Buyer to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is or will be party, or to perform its obligations thereunder, other than (i) any filings required to be made under the HSR Act and (ii) any consent, approval, waiver or authorization that would not have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of clarification, the Parties acknowledge that the Buyer is not making any representation and warranty in this Section 5.03 with respect to any Contract to which the Buyer is not, but an Acquired Company is, a party.

(d) From and after the date hereof, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Seller Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all Losses resulting from any Proceeding, demands or assessments arising out of or relating to the WPZ Transaction to the extent that such Losses are not otherwise recoverable pursuant to indemnification obligations of the Acquired Companies owing to such Seller Indemnified Parties or insurance policies held by the Acquired Companies covering such Seller Indemnified Parties.

The Buyer shall cause each Acquired Company to maintain and preserve all such Tax Returns, books, records and other documents for the greater of (A) ten (10) years after the Closing Date and (B) any applicable statutory or regulatory retention period, as the same may be extended and, in each case, shall offer to transfer such records to the Sellers at the end of any such period.

(a) Each Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02, such Indemnified Party will assert its claim for indemnification under Section 8.02 (each, a “Claim”) by providing a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) within the applicable Survival Period to the applicable indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying, in reasonable detail, to the extent known by such Indemnified Party, the nature and basis for such Claim (e.g., the underlying representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached and the condition or conduct allegedly resulting in such breach). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party’s delay in sending a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from Liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent (and limited solely to the extent) of any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party by such failure or delay, provided that such Claim Notice is provided within the applicable Survival Period.

-26-

(b) In the event that any Proceeding is instituted or any Claim is asserted by any Third Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 6.09(d) or Section 8.02 hereof and in respect of which the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all of such Indemnified Party’s Losses (subject to any applicable limitations in this Article VIII) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of same including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, it shall within thirty (30) days notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intent to do so. Subject to Section 8.03(c), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remedial action with respect to any such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, unless separate representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel is reasonably necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume control of such defense and in the event the Third Party Claim is determined to be a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including fees and expenses of counsel).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will not be permitted to settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree or permit a default without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, in each case, that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a binding, irrevocable, written release of any Indemnified Party from all Liability, (ii) provides for any admission of Liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, (iii) requires an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Party or (iv) imposes any Liability or continuing obligation on or requires any payment from any Indemnified Party.

-27-

Section 8.04 Limitations.

(a) No Indemnifying Party shall have any Liability under Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 8.02(b)(i) related to a representation or warranty other than a Fundamental Representation in respect of any individual claim involving Losses to any Indemnified Party of less than $100,000 (each, a “De Minimis Claim”), unless such individual claim is directly related to one or more other claims which in the aggregate involve Losses in excess of $100,000, in which case, the Indemnifying Party will have Liability for the full amount of such claims (subject to the other limitations contained in this Section 8.04) and such claims shall not be considered De Minimis Claims (it being understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, solely for the purposes of this Section 8.04(a), all claims related to any fact or circumstance that causes any representation or warranty made in any particular Section of this Agreement to be inaccurate shall be deemed to be related to all other claims related to such fact or circumstance).

(b) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) related to a representation or warranty other than a Fundamental Representation unless the aggregate of all Losses claimed by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to such section that are not De Minimis Claims exceeds 1% of the Purchase Price (the “Claim Deductible”), in which case, subject to Section 8.04(d), the Sellers shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party only for the Losses in excess of the Claim Deductible.

(c) No Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(b)(i) related to a representation or warranty other than a Fundamental Representation unless the aggregate of all Losses claimed by the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to such section exceeds the Claim Deductible, in which case, subject to Section 8.04(d), the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Party only for the Losses in excess of the Claim Deductible.

(d) The Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 8.02(a)(i) for Losses that exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising from any Fundamental Representation, and the Sellers’ aggregate Liability for such Losses, together with any other indemnifiable Losses, shall not exceed the Purchase Price. The Buyer shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Seller

-28-

Indemnified Parties under Section 8.02(b)(i) for Losses that exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties arising from any Fundamental Representation, and the Buyer’s aggregate Liability for such Losses, together with any other indemnifiable Losses, shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(e) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER THE BUYER NOR ANY SELLER NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE HEREUNDER TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY (i) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR (ii) LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES EXCEPT, IN THE CASE OF THIS CLAUSE (ii), TO THE EXTENT SUCH LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE (x) NOT BASED ON ANY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION AND (y) THE NATURAL, PROBABLE AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE THERETO OR THE MATTER FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION THROUGH WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT, EXCEPT IN EACH CASE OF THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (i) AND (ii), TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED IN ANY ACTION BY A THIRD PARTY AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR WHICH IT IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.05 Calculation of Losses. In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be computed net of (a) payments actually recovered by any Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses net of expenses and (b) any actual recovery by any Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses net of expenses. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue reimbursement for Losses, including under insurance policies and indemnity arrangements.

Section 8.06 No Duplication. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Losses under one Section or provision of this Agreement to the extent of the full amount of such Losses already recovered by such Indemnified Party, nor shall its insurer or indemnitor be entitled to any kind of subrogation or substitution which would give it the right to make a claim against the Indemnifying Party.

-29-

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Sellers and the Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Release. Except for the obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement or any Transaction Document and the obligations of the parties under the Seller Guarantee and the 2012 Transaction Documents, for and in consideration of the Subject Interests, effective as of the Closing, the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), to absolutely and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, each of the present and former partners, members, equityholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives of any of the foregoing, and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all costs, expenses, damages, debts, or any other obligations, liabilities and claims whatsoever, whether known or unknown, both in law and in equity, in each case to the extent arising out of or resulting from the ownership and/or operation of the Acquired Companies, or the assets, business, operations, conduct, services, products and/or employees (including former employees) of any of the Acquired Companies (and any predecessors), related to any period of time before the Closing Date.

Section 8.09 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE VIII, SECTION 12.06 OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR (ii) IN THE CASE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR FRAUD ON THE PART OF ANY PARTY, BUT OTHERWISE NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE CLOSING OCCURS, NO PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY, AND NO PARTY SHALL MAKE ANY CLAIM, FOR ANY LOSS (AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES) UNDER, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, COMMON LAW, OTHER LAWS OR OTHERWISE. HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.09 SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF A PARTY TO SEEK AND OBTAIN INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 12.06.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, each of the Parties, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that (i) no

-30-

Person other than the express Parties hereto or thereto shall have any obligation or Liability hereunder, under any Transaction Document or under any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and (ii) the Parties and their Affiliates and Representatives shall have no rights of recovery in respect hereof or thereof against, no recourse in respect hereof or thereof shall be had against, and no personal Liability in respect hereof or thereof shall attach to, any Acquired Company (other than any party to any of the Transaction Documents to the extent of its obligations thereunder to the other parties thereto or express third party beneficiaries thereof) or any former, current or future Affiliate, general or limited partner, member, equity holder, Representative, director, officer, agent, manager, assignee or employee of any Party, of any Acquired Company or of any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (other than any party to any of the Transaction Documents to the extent of its obligations thereunder), or any of their respective successors or permitted assignees (excluding any party to the Transaction Documents to the extent of its obligations thereunder to the other parties thereto or express third party beneficiaries thereof, collectively, “Non-Recourse Persons”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the “corporate veil”, by or through a claim (whether in tort, contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) by or on behalf of any Party against any Non-Recourse Person, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise. The Non-Recourse Persons shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.09(b) as if expressly party hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.09(a), nothing contained in this Section 8.09 shall prevent any Party from seeking and obtaining injunctive relief against the other Party’s activities in breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 No Reliance. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO, NONE OF THE PARTIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY PARTY, MAKES ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PARTIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER MADE BY SUCH PARTIES OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF, OR ANY SUCH PERSON’S RELIANCE ON, ANY INFORMATION, DISCLOSURE OR OTHER

(c) by the Buyer if any Seller shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of any Seller shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or (b) would not be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date;

-33-

(f) by the Sellers or the Buyer in the event that the Closing does not occur on or before December 31, 2014 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that such failure of the Closing to occur is not due to the failure of such Party to perform and comply in all material respects with the covenants and agreements to be performed or complied with by such Party prior to the Closing.

Section 12.04 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Sellers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

-37-

The Buyer may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Sellers except that (a) each Party may freely assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or from time to time in part, without such consent, to any Affiliate of such Party that remains an Affiliate at all times following such assignment or in the case of the Sellers, any control person, partner, equity holder, member, stockholder or co-investor of any Seller or its Affiliates and (b) the Buyer may freely assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or from time to time in part to any Person that acquires the Subject Interests (other than pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or a sale to the general public in reliance on an exception therefrom); provided, that no such assignment will in any way affect the assigning Party’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

Section 12.05 Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, financial advisory and consulting fees and expenses) incurred by such Party in connection with the negotiation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, except that all filing fees paid in respect of the HSR Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees and related expenses) shall be shared equally by the Sellers and the Buyer.

Section 12.06 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the Buyer and the Sellers and the Buyer and the Sellers will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Therefore, the obligations of the Buyer and the Sellers under this Agreement, including the Sellers’ obligation to sell the Subject Interests to the Buyer and the Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Subject Interests from the Sellers, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 12.07 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto), together with each of the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral.

Section 12.08 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any

-38-

provision or portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law in any jurisdiction by any applicable Governmental Authority, (a) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction, (b) such provision shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent strictly required by such Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent any such provision is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, each of the Sellers and the Buyer agrees that it shall use its best efforts to cause such Governmental Authority to modify such provision so that such provision shall be valid, legal and enforceable as originally intended to the greatest extent possible and (d) to the extent that the Governmental Authority does not modify such provision, each of the Sellers and the Buyer agrees that they shall endeavor in good faith to exercise or modify such provision so that such provision shall be valid, legal and enforceable as originally intended to the greatest extent possible.

Section 12.09 Disclosure Schedules. The inclusion of any information (including dollar amounts) in any section of any schedule required by this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedules”) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by the disclosing party or any other Party that such information is required to be listed on such section of the relevant Disclosure Schedule or is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business of the applicable Person to which such disclosure relates. Each disclosure item set forth in the Disclosure Schedules shall relate only to the specific Section of the Agreement that corresponds to the number of such Schedule and to any other Section of this Agreement to which it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure relates. The information contained in this Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and the Disclosure Schedules is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party hereto to any Third Party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of a legal requirement or breach of contract).

Section 12.10 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided below, inure solely to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person other than the Parties, including any creditor of any Party or any of their Affiliates, except that (i) this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Non-Recourse Parties as necessary to enforce their rights in accordance with Section 8.09(b), (ii) Section 11.02 and this Section 12.10 (solely as it relates to Section 11.02) shall inure to the benefit of the Debt Financing Sources and (iii) Section 6.09 shall inure to the benefit of the

-39-

Persons referred to therein. Except for the Non-Recourse Parties and the Debt Financing Sources, in each case as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no Person other than the Parties shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reason of any such provision make any claim in respect of any Liability (or otherwise) against any other Party hereto.

Section 12.11 Facsimiles; Electronic Transmission; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including scanned documents delivered by email) by any Party and such execution shall be deemed binding for all purposes hereof, without delivery of an original signature being thereafter required. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.

Section 12.12 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

Section 12.13 Sealed Instrument. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, solely with respect to the Fundamental Representations, it is their intent that this Agreement be, and that it will be treated and construed as, a sealed instrument under Delaware law, including the statute of limitations applicable to sealed instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Parties acknowledge and agree that it is not their intent that this Agreement alter, extend or otherwise modify, or be treated or construed as altering, extending or otherwise modifying, any survival period under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any statute of limitations under applicable Law (including Delaware law), except to the extent provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the Fundamental Representations. No Party shall, and each Party shall cause its Affiliates not to, take a position that is inconsistent with this Section 12.13, whether before any Governmental Authority or otherwise.

Section 12.14 Right to Rely. Following the Closing, any rights to indemnification, payment, reimbursement or other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) before the Closing. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or in the performance of or compliance with, any such covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification, payment, reimbursement, or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.
