NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, hereby update the following provisions of the Purchase Agreement and agree as follows:

The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that it has made its own review of the investment merits and risks of the 2027 Notes.”
