Which of the following, if any, are appropriate modes of disclaiming an implied warranty of merchantability?

Borrower owes $10,000 to lender, but fails to pay it back. The debt consists of a loan with a $7,500 principal and $2,500 interest on the principal.  The statute of limitations has expired and thereafter Borrower tells Lender that he is sorry and promises, “I will pay you back $7,500 by January 31 of the following year” (“January 31 Promise”). Borrower fails to pay the agreed amount by January 31. In a jurisdiction that follows the Restatement 2d of Contracts, which of the following most accurately states Borrower’s obligation to Lender?

Facts for Questions 10–12 All of the following took place in a jurisdiction that follows the Restatement2d. Professor Smith looked out his front window one day when he heard some screeching tires.  He immediately turned and saw his neighbor Peter his by a car driven by Daniel. Dr. Jones, who was driving by, stopped and treated Peter and took him to the hospital.  Despite Dr. Jones’s rapid response and competent, expert treatment, Peter died from his wounds at the hospital a few days later. Professor Smith felt horrible about the whole situation because he had called Peter and asked him to come over because Professor Smith had some homemade cookies he wanted to give Peter. In order to cheer up Professor Smith, three of his students washed and groomed his prized poodle.  The following day, to show his thanks, Smith promised the students he would pay them each $20.  (The reasonable value of the wash and grooming was $150.) Although Professor Smith was not legally responsible for Peter’s accident, he felt responsible because Peter was coming to see him and because of that, he promised Peter’s widow $10,000 a week after the crash.   10.       Who, if anyone, is obligated to pay Dr. Jones for the treatment of Peter?
