IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

APPENDIX I
TO
RIM SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANY
SENIOR SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE SERIES 07-02

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Bridge Loan Agreement or in the Note.

1.           A.            (i)  For purposes of this Appendix, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below:

“Conversion Price” means the amount equal to (x) the average Closing Price for the five (5) Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately before the Conversion Date, multiplied by (y) seventy-five percent (75%); provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall in no event be less than $0.01.

“Closing Price” means the 4:00 P.M. closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Principal Trading Market on the relevant Trading Day(s), as reported by the Reporting Service for the relevant date(s).

“Reporting Service” means Bloomberg LP or if that service is not then reporting the relevant information regarding the Common Stock, a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by a Majority in Interest of the Holders and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(d)  “Majority in Interest of the Holders” means, as of the relevant date, one or more Holders whose respective outstanding principal amounts of the Notes of this Series held by each of them, as of such date, aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the outstanding Notes of this Series held by all Holders on that date.

(ii)  At any time during the Default Period and prior to the date this Note is paid in full in accordance with its terms, the Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, subject to the following provisions of this Appendix I, to convert  the principal and the accrued interest, if any, of this Note into shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value ("Common Stock"), of the Company at the Conversion Price.

1

B.           Conversion shall be effectuated by faxing a Notice of Conversion (as defined below) to the Company as provided in this paragraph.  The Notice of Conversion shall be executed by the Holder of this Note and shall evidence such Holder's intention to convert this Note or a specified portion hereof in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.  The date on which notice of conversion is given (the "Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes or otherwise delivers the conversion notice ("Notice of Conversion") to the Company so that it is received by the Company on or before such specified date, provided that, if such conversion would convert the entire remaining principal of this Note, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the original Note being converted no later than five (5) Trading Days thereafter.  Delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company by hand, mail or courier delivery at the address specified in said Exhibit A or at the facsimile number specified in said Exhibit A (each of such address or facsimile number may be changed by notice given to the Holder in the manner provided in the Bridge Loan Agreement).  Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion (“Conversion Certificates”) will be delivered to the Holder at the address specified in the Notice of Conversion (which may be the Holder’s address for notices as contemplated by the Bridge Loan Agreement or a different address),  via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise, within three (3) Trading Days (such third Trading Day, the “Delivery Date”) after the relevant Conversion Date.  The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (B) on the Conversion Date.

C.           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of any of the other Transaction Agreements, in no event (except (i) as specifically provided herein as an exception to this provision, or (ii) while there is outstanding a tender offer for any or all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock) shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note, or shall the Company have the obligation to convert such Note to the extent that, after such conversion or issuance of stock in payment of interest, the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or other convertible securities or of the unexercised portion of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock), and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be issued to the Holder upon such conversion).  For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence.  Nothing herein shall preclude the Holder from disposing of a sufficient number of other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder so as to thereafter permit the continued conversion of this Note.

2

D.           (i)           No later than the thirtieth day of the Default Period (such day the “Required Filing Date”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement registering for resale by the Holder all Conversion Shares (“Registrable Securities”).  Notwithstanding the requirement to register all Registrable Securities, the Company’s obligation to register the Registrable Securities shall initially be satisfied by the registration of the Initial Number of Shares to Be Registered (as defined below).  The “Initial Number of Shares to Be Registered” is a number of shares of Common Stock which is at least equal to the sum of two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares into which the Note and all interest thereon for one year from the commencement of the Default Period would be convertible at  the time of filing of such Registration Statement (assuming for such purposes that the Note had been eligible to be converted, and had been converted, into Conversion Shares in accordance with its terms, whether or not such eligibility, accrual of interest or conversion had in fact occurred as of such date) based on the Conversion Price in effect on, or within three (3) Trading Days prior to, the date the Registration Statement is filed (or subsequently amended). Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing in advance by the Holder, the Registration Statement shall not restrict or limit the prices at which the shares sold by the selling stockholders thereunder may be sold and shall also state that, in accordance with Rule 416 and 457 under the Securities Act, it also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Note to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

(ii)           The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective on a date (the “Required Effective Date”) which is no later than the earlier of (X) five (5) days after oral or written notice by the SEC that it may be declared effective or (Y) the ninetieth day after the Closing Date.

(iii)           If (X) the Company does not file the Registration Statement by the Required Filing Date and/or (Y) for any reason,  the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Required Effective Date and/or (Z) the Company does not maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for at least two years or the earlier date on which the Note has been fully paid or converted and all Conversion Shares have been sold, the Company will pay the Holder in cash an amount equal to 1.85185% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note of the Holder for each 30 day period (prorated for partial periods) until such filing, such  effective date or such effectiveness is re-established, as the case may be.  The outstanding principal amount of the Note shall be determined as of the close of business on the last day preceding the first day of each such 30-day period. The parties acknowledge that the damages which may be incurred by the Holder in those events may be difficult to ascertain.  The parties agree that the amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1(D) are liquidated damages and represent a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the Issue Date, of the amount of such damages.

3

2.           (a)           The term “Lower Price Transaction” means a New Transaction offered or consummated during the New Transaction Period (as defined below), where the lowest New Transaction Price (as defined below) is, or by its terms or by an existing understanding of the Company and the New Investor, could subsequently be adjusted or revised to be, lower than the then effective Conversion Price of the Note (such Conversion Price, in each case, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the initial Exercise Price of the Warrant is adjusted, other than as a result of the application of this Section 2 of Appendix I).

(b)           “New Transaction Price” means the Basic New Transaction Price (as defined below) except that if the New Transaction Exercise Price is lower than the Basic New Transaction Price, it means the New Transaction Exercise Price.

(c)           “Basic New Transaction Price” means, as may be applicable, on a per share basis, the lower of (1) the lowest fixed purchase price of any shares of the New Common Stock contemplated in the New Transaction, or (2) the lowest conversion price or put or call price which would be applicable under the terms of the New Transaction; in each such case, whether such purchase or conversion price or put or call price is stated or otherwise specified or is determined on the closing date of the New Transaction by the application of a formula set in the documents reflecting the New Transaction or could result from adjustments or revisions contemplated in the relevant agreements for the New Transaction and whenever such adjustment or revision would be applicable (and if no minimum purchase price,  conversion price or put or call price, as the case may be, is set, it shall be assumed that such minimum purchase price or conversion price is $.01); and provided, further, that, if the securities issued in the New Transaction are issued at a Face Value Discount (as defined below), the New Transaction Price shall be adjusted to reflect such discount.7

(d)           “New Transaction Exercise Price” means the lowest exercise price per share applicable to the warrants, option or similar instrument (howsoever denominated; collectively, “New Transaction Warrants”) included in such New Transaction, whether such exercise price is stated or could result from adjustments or revisions contemplated in the relevant agreements for the New Transaction and whenever such exercise price would be applicable (and,  if no minimum exercise price is set, it shall be assumed that such minimum exercise price is $.01).
 

7By way of illustration, if convertible preferred shares having a stated value of $1 million and a fixed conversion price of $0.50 (resulting in 2,000,000 shares) were sold for a purchase price of $800,000, the effective New Transaction Price would be $0.40 (the conversion price at which $800,000 would convert into 2,000,000 shares).
4

(e)           “Face Value Discount” means consideration less than, as the case may be, (x) the number of shares being issued multiplied by the stated purchase price, (y) the stated principal amount of a debenture, note or similar instrument or (z) the stated value of the shares of convertible stock.

(f)           The term “New Transaction Period” means the period commencing on the Issue Date and continuing until the date on which this Note is fully paid and/or converted.

3.           The Company covenants and agrees that, if there is a Lower Price Transaction during the New Transaction Period, then the Conversion Price on the unexercised portion of this Note shall be adjusted to equal the lowest New Transaction Price applicable to the Lower Price Transaction.
