The Company agrees to issue from time to time a replacement Note in the form hereof to facilitate such approved transfers and assignments. In addition, after delivery of an indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company also agrees to promptly issue a replacement Note if this Note is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
