Principal and interest due hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available federal funds or the equivalent at the address of the Holder set forth in Section 6 below or at such other address as the Holder may designate.

As soon as practicable upon conversion of this Note, (i) a certificate for the shares issuable upon such conversion, with such restrictive legends as are appropriate under the circumstances, shall be issued and delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder in such name or names as the Holder may designate, and (ii) the Holder shall surrender this Note for cancellation. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such shares as of the conversion date.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon any conversion of this Note. If any fraction of a share would, except for the provisions of this Section 5(f), be issuable upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
