     WHEREAS, Purchaser requested and Evergreen agrees that the purchase and sale obligations of the parties pursuant to the Supply Agreement requiring Purchaser to order and purchase certain quantities of Product, and requiring Evergreen to ship and sell certain quantities of Product, shall be suspended pending a good faith discussion of possible modifications to the Supply Agreement;
     WHEREAS, prior to the suspension of the purchase and sale obligations under the Supply Agreement, Purchaser purchased Products pursuant to the Supply Agreement, as referenced in the invoices listed in Exhibit A, which Purchaser has yet to pay for in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement (all amounts payable under invoices listed in Exhibit A are referred to as the “Product Payments”) plus interest payable thereon as a result of the late payments; and
