Upon such conversion of this Note, Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Borrower the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Borrower whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify the Borrower from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) for cancellation; provided, however, that upon delivery of the Conversion Notice, this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence.
