In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured or waived by the Holder, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure or waiver; provided that the interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall apply beginning on the day of the occurrence of such Event of Default and to, but not including, the date of such cure or waiver of such Event of Default.

If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation (as the case may be) within ten (10) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile or email the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be). Such accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties hereto absent demonstrable error.
