of the holder to receive the shares of Common Stock to which it is entitled as a result of the conversion on the Optional Conversion Date (and any replacement Note if less than the full Post IPO Note Balance was converted).
(v) The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 9(a). The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Note, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.
