NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase of Debenture

 

1.1 Exchange. Effective as of the Effective Date, all of Buyer’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Debenture shall be exchanged for the A&R Debenture.

 

1.2 Closing Deliveries. Immediately following the execution hereof, but in no event more than 2 (two) days following such date (the “Closing Date”), Buyer shall deliver the Debenture to Company and the Company shall deliver the A&R Debenture to Buyer. The Company shall also deliver the fully executed Security Agreement in the form annexed hereto as Appendix A and the fully executed Pledge Agreement in the form annexed hereto as Appendix B, together with all deliverables described in said agreements.

 

1.3 The Closing.
