NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Except as expressly set forth herein, all terms of Section 1.01 of the Note Transfer Agreement remain in full force and effect, and constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto.
