Notwithstanding the stated principal amount hereof, the Issuer may offset against and reduce the principal amount of this Note by amounts equal to the amount of any indemnification obligation pursuant to Article 10 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. In the event more than one Note is outstanding, any such offset shall be made proportionally among all outstanding Notes based upon the principal amount of such Notes.

In either case, as promptly as practicable after the surrender by Holder of this Note, the Issuer shall issue additional shares of Issuer’s common stock to the Publicly Traded Entity in exchange for shares of Common Stock of such Publicly Traded Entity, which Common Stock evidenced by a certificate or certificates for the whole number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, will be delivered by Issuer to Holder or on Holder’s written order, Holder’s transferees.

No such payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Issuer and its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Issuer to or on account of this Note; and for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness to which the Holder would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 7 shall, as between the Issuer and its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Issuer to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.
