Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number of the securities issuable upon conversion hereof, the Lender shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion hereof, the number of securities that the Lender would have received for the Common Stock if the Loan had been converted immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. The Borrower shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Borrower.
