Note shall be, at the election of the Holder, (i) converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Outstanding Principal Balance on this Note as of the Conversion Date by (B) six dollars ($6.00) and rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares, (ii) redeemed for cash by the Company at a value equal to 1.2 multiplied by the MOIC (as defined below), or (iii) both converted into shares of Common Stock and redeemed for cash at an aggregate value equal to 1.2 multiplied by the MOIC in such proportion as determined by the Holder.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
