The Company shall, as soon as practicable after any such conversion, but in any event within fifteen (15) days of the date on which this Note is surrendered for conversion, issue and deliver to such Holder at his, her or its address set forth in Schedule 1 to the Purchase Agreement a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as are required by the Purchase Agreement or applicable law).

Such advances shall be evidenced by, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Note and shall be made by Holder by wire transfer to the bank account specified by the Company’s President in the notice within three (3) business days of e-mail notice sent by the Company’s President to Holder requesting the advance (notwithstanding the notice requirements under Section 6(e) of this Note).

(a)                                 Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Note. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, delivery of an indemnity agreement satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Note, a new Note executed in the same manner as this Note, in the same principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of this Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on this Note or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of this Note.

 

(b)                                 Pari Passu Notes.
