Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Conversion, all obligations of the Company, under, pursuant to, or otherwise in connection with this Note, direct, indirect, contingent or otherwise (the “Obligations”) shall be satisfied by the Company issuing the Conversion Shares to the Noteholder in accordance with the terms of this Note.
