Summary
This amendment, effective December 31, 2002, is between Nextera Enterprises, Inc. (the borrower) and Knowledge Universe Capital Co., LLC (the lender). It changes the maturity date of a previous debenture from January 2, 2004 to January 1, 2005, clarifies a prior amendment, and adds a provision making the debenture subject to a subordination agreement with Fleet National Bank. The borrower must repay the outstanding principal, accrued interest, and other sums by the new maturity date, but these obligations are subordinate to certain senior debts.

As of January 5, 1998, Nextera Enterprises, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company issued a Debenture to Nextera Enterprises Holding, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company in the amount of $24,970,000 (the "Debenture"), which was assigned to Knowledge Universe, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on April 30, 1998 and subsequently assigned to Lender on December 23, 1999. B. The terms of the Debenture provide that: "[t]he Maturity Obligations shall be due and payable on May 1, 2002 (the "Maturity Date"). As used herein, "Maturity Obligations" shall mean the entire outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums due and unpaid hereunder." C. Lender and Borrower have previously agreed to amend the Debenture so as to change the Maturity Date to January 2, 2004 pursuant to the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Debenture dated effective as of March 29, 2002 (the "First Amendment"). D. Lender and Borrower have agreed to further amend the Debenture so as to change the Maturity Date to January 1, 2005. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Paragraph 1 of the First Amendment contained an erroneous reference to Section 3 of the Debenture, which reference should have be to Section 2 of the Debenture. Borrower and Lender agree that paragraph 1 of the First Amendment should have read in its entirety as follows: "1. Section 2 of the Debenture is deleted in its entirety and new Section 2 is added to read as follows: "The Maturity Obligations shall be due and payable on January 2, 2004 (the "Maturity Date"). As used herein, "Maturity Obligations" shall mean the entire outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums due and unpaid hereunder."" 2. Section 2 of the Debenture (as amended by the First Amendment as corrected above) is deleted in its entirety and new Section 2 is added to read as follows: "The Maturity Obligations shall be due and payable on January 1, 2005 (the "Maturity Date"). As used herein, "Maturity Obligations" shall mean the entire outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums due and unpaid hereunder." 3. A new Section 17 is added to read as follows: "This Debenture is subject to the Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement dated as of December 31, 2002, as from time to time in effect, among Lender, Borrower, and Fleet National Bank, as Agent, which, among other things, subordinates the obligations of Borrower hereunder to the prior payment of obligations of Borrower to the holders of Senior Indebtedness as defined therein." IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender, intending to be legally bound hereby, have caused this Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Debenture to be duly executed effective as of the date first written above.
