NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Consideration. The Noteholder acknowledges that as a holder of other securities of the Company, it will receive benefit from the Transactions, and such benefit constitutes full and fair consideration for forgiving the remaining balance of principal and interest due under the Note and terminating the Note.

 

2. Debt Forgiveness; Cancellation of Note.

4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and that certain Warrant Termination Agreement entered into as of Closing as of even date herewith, contains and comprises the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous covenants and agreements of any kind between the Parties with respect to such subject matter. The Parties also agree that the terms of this Agreement shall not be amended or changed except in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party.

8. Governing Law; Disputes. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

The Parties agree that the terms of Section 7.10 of the Purchase Agreement are incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, such that such terms shall apply to any disputes between the Parties relating to this Amendment.
