All amounts payable in cash with respect to this Note shall be made by wire transfer to the holder, provided that if the holder shall not have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Company no later than the business day immediately prior to the date on which the Company makes such payment, such payment may be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the holder as such address shall appear in the Company register. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any common stock purchase warrant issued by the Company to the Holder and outstanding as of the date hereof (each, a “Warrant”) to the contrary, the Holder shall be permitted, upon written notice to the Company, to pay the exercise price for any shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issuable upon exercise of any Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) by surrendering to the Company all, or any portion, of this Note and all or such portion of the outstanding amounts due pursuant to this Note, as applicable, shall be cancelled in exchange for the payment of the exercise price for such Warrant Shares and, if the Holder surrenders less than all of this Note, the Company shall promptly thereafter issue to the Holder a new promissory note for the remaining amounts under this Note.
