SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE TERM NOTETRANCHE A
This Senior Secured Convertible Term NoteTranche A (this Note) is issued in connection with the transactions described in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and among The X-Change Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the Corporation), and (the Holder), among others, dated December 4, 2007 (the Purchase Agreement). This Note is one of the notes referred to as the Tranche A Notes in the Purchase Agreement. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to each such term in the Purchase Agreement.
The authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Note have been approved by all requisite corporate action of the Corporation. The sale of the Note and the subsequent conversion of the Note into shares of Common Stock are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with at or prior to Closing of the Purchase Agreement.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder of this Note and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
1. | Principal and Interest. |
a. For value received, the Corporation hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder in lawful money of the United States at the address of the Holder as set forth in Section 10 below, the amount set out above as the Principal (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the Principal), together with interest on the remaining unpaid Principal balance, computed from the date hereof until maturity at the rate set out above as the Interest Rate (as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, the Interest Rate); provided, however, that in the event such interest rate should ever exceed the maximum interest rate permissible under applicable Texas or federal Law, then the Interest Rate on this Note shall be adjusted to the maximum interest rate then permitted by such Laws. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal of this Note (including, once capitalized as provided below, payments of interest made by increasing the outstanding Principal of this Note) at the Interest Rate quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 in each year (each such date, an Interest Payment Date), commencing on the date set out above as the Date of Issuance (the Date of Issuance). Interest payable hereunder shall accrue daily and be computed based on a 360-day year for the number of days elapsed during the relevant interest period. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 below, all accrued and unpaid interest as of any Interest Payment Date that is not paid in cash to the Purchasers on such Interest Payment Date shall automatically (and without further action by the Corporation or the Purchasers) be added to the outstanding principal amount of this Note, and thereafter all calculations of interest payable under this Note shall include such increased amount. The Corporations election to accrue interest and allow such to be added to the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall not constitute an Event of Default as set forth on Section 4(a)(i). From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to 10.00%. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the interest as calculated at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of cure of such Event of Default. Principal and any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall be due and payable on the date set out above as the Maturity Date or such earlier date as this Note is required to be repaid as provided hereunder (the Maturity Date), unless the Note is earlier converted into Common Stock by the Purchaser or the Corporation pursuant to the terms hereof.
b. Upon payment in full of all Principal and interest payable hereunder, this Note shall be surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation.
2. Security; Seniority; Indebtedness; Liens; Payments.
a. Security. This Note shall be secured by all of the assets of the Corporations wholly-owned subsidiary, AirGATE Technologies, Inc., a Texas corporation (AirGATE), whether such assets are now or hereafter existing, in accordance with the terms of that certain Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith among the Corporation, AirGATE and the holders of the Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
b. Seniority. The obligations, rights and preferences under this Note, including payments of Principal and interest and other payment under this Note, (i) shall be pari passu with (x) the other Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and (y) the obligations of the Corporation to Melissa 364 CR, Ltd. under the terms of that certain Promissory Note, dated August 15, 2006, between the Corporation and Melissa 364 CR, Ltd. (the Melissa Note) and (ii) shall rank senior to all other Indebtedness incurred by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, including AirGATE.
c. Incurrence of Indebtedness. So long as this Note is outstanding, the Corporation shall not, and the Corporation shall not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, issue, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock other than the Melissa Note and Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness.
d. Existence of Liens. The Corporation shall not, and the Corporation shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries other than (i) the existing pledge of the common stock of AirGATE to secure the Melissa Note and (ii) Permitted Liens (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
e. Restricted Payments. The Corporation shall not, and the Corporation shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay any dividend or distribution in respect of capital stock or redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or otherwise acquire (whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise) any capital stock or Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness (including the establishment of any sinking fund therefor).
3. | Conversion. |
a. Conversion Procedure.
i. The Holder may, at any time after the Date of Issuance and at the option of the Holder, convert all or any portion of the Principal and all accrued interest on this Note into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3 and at a price per share of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Price then in effect. The Corporation covenants that it will reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as provided herein.
ii. Each conversion of this Note shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which this Note, together with proper Notice of Conversion in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, has been delivered to the Corporation. At the time such conversion has been effected, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate or certificates.
iii. As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Corporation shall deliver to the converting Holder:
A. a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting Holder has specified;
B. if applicable, a new note in the face amount of principal and interest representing that portion of the Note and accrued but unpaid interest thereon not converted; and
C. cash in lieu of any fractional share as provided for herein.
iv. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect of such issuance (including documentary, stamp or similar tax) or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock, other than any transfer taxes resulting from the transfer of converted shares to a person or persons other than the converting Holder. Upon conversion of the Note, the Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Common Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
b. Conversion Price.
i. The Conversion Price shall be $0.20 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3 (the Conversion Price).
ii. If and whenever, on or after the Date of Issuance, the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale (an Additional Stock Issuance), then immediately upon such Additional Stock Issuance, the Conversion Price shall (except as otherwise provided in this Section 3) be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest 1/10th cent) equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Additional Stock Issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) or Section 3(c)(ii) hereof) immediately prior to such Additional Stock Issuance plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such Additional Stock Issuance would purchase at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Additional Stock Issuance, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) or Section 3(c)(ii) hereof) immediately prior to such Additional Stock Issuance plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issued in such Additional Stock Issuance.
iii. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price as a result of an Additional Stock Issuance when such issuance is (a) in a transaction described in Section 3(d) and for which an adjustment has been made pursuant to Section 3(d); (b) any conversion of the Note; (c) as a distribution on the Note; (d) pursuant to any stock option plan or other incentive plan of the Corporation; (e) upon conversion or exercise of any Options or Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date hereof; or (f) made pursuant to the exercise of any of the Warrants.
c. Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 3, the following shall be applicable:
i. If the Corporation in any manner issues or grants any options, warrants, or similar rights (Options) to purchase or acquire Common Stock or other equity securities convertible or exchangeable, with or without consideration, into or for Common Stock (Convertible Securities), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For purposes of this Section, the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable shall be determined by dividing (a) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (b) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Convertible Securities are actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or when Common Stock is actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
ii. If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section, the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable shall be determined by dividing (a) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (b) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustments of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
iii. If the purchase price provided for in any Options or the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration, or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c)(iii) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any Additional Stock Issuances (other than deemed Additional Stock Issuances as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.
iv. Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Security which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price then in effect under this Note shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Security, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.
v. If any Common Stock, Option, or Convertible Security is issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received for such Common Stock, Option, or Convertible Security shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation for such Common Stock, Option, or Convertible Security. In case any Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation will be the Closing Sale Price, or in the absence of a Closing Sale Price, the Closing Bid Price of such securities as of the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Option, or Convertible Security is issued in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration for such Common Stock, Option, or Convertible Security shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than cash will be determined jointly by the Corporation and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the Valuation Event), the fair market value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Corporation and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Corporation.
vi. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option by the parties to such transaction, the Option shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.001.
vii. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
viii. No adjustment in the Conversion Price for the Note need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of less than $0.001. Any adjustment of less than $0.001 that is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment that, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of $0.001 or more in the Conversion Price.
ix. If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities or (b) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be; provided that if, after the occurrence of the record date, the Corporation increases or reduces the number of shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued or fails to consummate the actual or deemed issuance that was the subject of the record date, the Conversion Price will thereafter be readjusted up or down to reflect the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued in connection with such record date.
d. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
e. Other Corporate Events. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) or a spin-off, merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation where the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, or the sale, lease, or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporations properties and assets to any other person (collectively, a Corporate Event), then, as a part of such Corporate Event, provision shall be made so that the Holder of the Note shall, after such Corporate Event, be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Note, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation (including cash), or of the successor corporation resulting from such Corporate Event, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such Corporate Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder, or any later Holder, of the Note after the Corporate Event to the effect that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of Note) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
f. Rights Upon Change of Control.
i. Change of Control. Each of the following events shall constitute a Change of Control:
A. the consolidation, merger or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization or recapitalization) of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than (1) a consolidation, merger or other business combination (including, without limitation, reorganization or recapitalization) in which holders of the Corporations voting power immediately prior to the transaction continue after the transaction to hold, directly or indirectly, the voting power of the surviving entity or entities necessary to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other than a corporation) of such entity or entities, or (2) pursuant to a migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Corporation);
B. the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporations assets; or
C. a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the holders of more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
ii. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Corporation shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a Change of Control Notice).
iii. Assumption. Prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, the Corporation will secure from any Person purchasing the Corporations assets or Common Stock or any successor resulting from such Change of Control (in each case, an Acquiring Entity) a written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders) to deliver to each Holder of the Tranche A Notes and/or Tranche B Notes in exchange for such Tranche A Notes and/or Tranche B Notes, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes held by such Holder, and satisfactory to the Required Holders. In the event that an Acquiring Entity is directly or indirectly controlled by a company or entity whose common stock or similar equity interest is listed, designated or quoted on a securities exchange or trading market, the Required Holders may elect to treat such Person as the Acquiring Entity for purposes of this Section 3(f).
iv. Holder Redemption Right. At any time during the period beginning after the Holders receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date of the consummation of such Change of Control (or, in the event a Change of Control Notice is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control, at any time on or after the date which is ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control and ending ten (10) days after the consummation of such Change of Control), the Holder may require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (Change of Control Redemption Notice) to the Corporation, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to require the Corporation to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 3(f)(iv) shall be redeemed by the Corporation at a price equal to 120% of the greater of (i) the product of (x) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock, or in the absence of a Closing Sale Price, the Closing Bid Price, on the Trading Day immediately preceding consummation of such Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price and (ii) the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the Change of Control Redemption Price). Redemptions required by this Section 3(f)(iv) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall have priority to payments by the Corporation or the Acquiring Entity, as applicable, to the shareholders of the Corporation in connection with a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, until the Change of Control Redemption Price is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 3(f)(iv) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.
g. Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporations Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.
h. Notices.
i. As soon as practicable, upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall give written notice of such adjustment to the then Holder of the Note, and furnish the Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon written request, furnish the Holder a certificate setting forth the Conversion Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Conversion Price.
ii. The Corporation shall give written notice to the Holder of the Note at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, or issuance or granting of rights, options or warrants or (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock.
iii. The Corporation shall give written notice to the Holder at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the effective date of any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.
i. Automatic Conversion. The Note, and all accrued and unpaid interest hereon, shall be automatically converted (the Automatic Conversion) into Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect upon the earliest to occur of the following:
i. the sale by the Corporation of a minimum of $25,000,000 of equity, in one sale or a related series of sales, without regard to the class of equity sold,
ii. a Qualified Public Offering, or
iii. the occurrence of (x) receipt by the Corporation or AirGATE of revenue of not less than (1) $1,000,000 from Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (Hexion), or its customers, as a result of services rendered by Hexion to its one or more of its customers in connection with the use of the Pioneer Downhole Tool in the oil and gas industry, and as further described herein, or (2) $500,000 of revenues from the sale of RFID tags that withstand downhole pressure, and related equipment and services, and (y) an average Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock of at least $0.75 per share for the thirty (30) day trading period preceding the receipt of such revenues.
j. Effect of Automatic Conversion. Upon the Automatic Conversion of this Note, the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Common Stock unless such Note is either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, or the Holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an affidavit of loss and an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such Note. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver to such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the securities to which the Holder shall be entitled and with any fractional share resulting from such calculation rounded up to the nearest whole share. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of closing of the transaction causing the Automatic Conversion. The person or persons entitled to receive securities issuable upon such Automatic Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such securities on such date.
k. Issuance of Common Stock. Upon the conversion of the Note, the Corporation shall, at the request of the Holder, execute and deliver (at the Corporations expense) a certificate or certificates in exchange for the Note representing in the aggregate the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to the Holder pursuant to such conversion. Each such certificate shall be registered in such name as is requested by the Holder.
l. Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of the Note, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation or, in the case of any mutilation, upon surrender of such Note, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such Note a new Note of like kind in such principal amount as represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated Note.
m. Reissuance of Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Corporation to the Holder for the Principal balance of this Note and all accrued but unpaid interest which shall not have been converted. The Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver such new Note.
n. Legend. If the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the conversion of the Note are not subject to an effective registration statement under the Act, the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Note shall bear the following restrictive legend or a substantially similar legend:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE, STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE X-CHANGE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

b. Redemption Right Upon Event of Default.
