Issuance Date: March 28, 2007

Principal: U.S. $35,000,000

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Vyyo Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to Goldman, Sachs & Co. or registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set out above as the Principal (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (each, as defined herein) unless earlier redeemed or converted (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof), and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the rate of 5.0% per annum (the “Interest Rate”), from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable unless earlier redeemed or converted.  This Convertible Note (including all Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is issued on the Closing Date pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Investors identified therein (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 28.  Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

1.  MATURITY.  On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal and the accrued and unpaid Interest thereon.  The Company shall make such payment on the Maturity Date, together with the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on such Principal, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder.

2.  INTEREST; INTEREST RATE. Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears for each Calendar Quarter on the first day of the succeeding Calendar Quarter during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date (each, an “Interest Date”) with the first Interest Date being May 1, 2007 by wire transfer of immediately




payable funds.  Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date in cash.  Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable in cash upon any conversion in accordance with Section 4.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default in the payment of the Interest or Principal when due, the Interest Rate shall be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).  In the event that such Interest or Principal payment default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure.  Interest on overdue interest shall accrue at the same rate compounded quarterly.

3.  SUBORDINATION.  The Principal and Interest on this Note is expressly subordinated in right of payment to (i) that certain Senior Secured Note in the principal amount of $7,500,000 issued on March 23, 2006 (“Senior Secured Note”), and (ii) any borrowed money by the Company designated as senior debt by the Board of Directors (“Indebtedness”).  Upon payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, recapitalization or readjustment of the Company or its property, payment of the Principal and Interest will be subordinate to the prior payment in full of all such Indebtedness.  No payment of Principal or Interest may be made by the Company if (i) at any time there exists (or after giving effect to the payment there would exist) an event of default under the agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness has been issued, or (ii) full payment of amounts then due for principal and interest on the Indebtedness has not been made or duly provided for.  The Holder of this Note shall execute any further documentation reasonably requested by a lender to effect the foregoing.

4.  CONVERSION OF NOTES.  Subject to Sections 7(a) and 15, this Note shall be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Shares”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

(a)  Conversion Right.  At any time or times on or after the Issuance Date and prior to repayment, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares in accordance with Section 4(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below); provided that, following a Fundamental Transaction, this Note shall be entitled to convert only into such consideration as the Common Shares outstanding prior thereto became entitled to receive, as appropriately adjusted to give effect to the Conversion Rate in this Note.  The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Common Share upon any conversion.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Common Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a Common Share to the nearest whole share.

(b)  Conversion Rate.  The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (such number of shares, the “Conversion Rate”).

(i)  “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal to be converted or redeemed with respect to which this determination is being made.

(ii)  “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination a price equal to $10.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c)  Mechanics of Conversion.

(i)  Optional Conversion.  To convert any Conversion Amount greater than $500,000 into Common Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall: (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 4(e), surrender this Note to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).  On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent.  On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall: (1) (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of Common Shares or other consideration to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder, for the number of Common Shares or other consideration to which the Holder shall be entitled, (2) pay to the Holder in cash an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Interest on the Conversion Amount up to and including the Conversion Date and (3) for any conversions prior to March 28, 2011 in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, pay any applicable Make-Whole Premium in accordance with Section 4(d). The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion Date.

(d)  Make-Whole Premium.

(i)  If a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to March 28, 2011, the Company also shall pay the Make-Whole Premium, if any, to the Holder who elects to convert its Note pursuant to this Section or elects to have its Note redeemed pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof pursuant to the Fundamental Transaction. The Make-Whole Premium, if any, shall be paid in cash on the Fundamental Transaction Effective Date to Holders who exercise such conversion right.

(2)  If the Fundamental Transaction Effective Date is after March 28, 2011, no Make-Whole Premium shall be paid;

(3)  If the Stock Price equals or exceeds $17.50 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8), no Make-Whole Premium shall be paid; and

(4)  In all other cases, the Make-Whole Premium shall be an amount equal to the interest that otherwise would accrue on the Principal of the Note had it remained outstanding from the date hereof through March 28, 2011, less the amount of interest accrued and paid prior to the date of conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Make-Whole Premium, if any, shall be paid in cash and shall not increase or affect the Conversion Amount, Conversion Price, or the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note.

(ii)  For purposes of Section 4(d), the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

(1)  “Fundamental Transaction Effective Date” means the date that a Fundamental Transaction becomes effective.

(2)  “Stock Price” means the price paid per Common Share in the transaction constituting the Fundamental Transaction, determined as follows:

(e)  Book-Entry.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(vi)  An involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (A) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (B) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for thirty (30) days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;

6.  RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

(a)  Fundamental Transaction Redemption Right.  No sooner than twenty (20) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Fundamental Transaction Notice”).  At any time during the period (the “Fundamental Transaction Period”) beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice and ending on the date that is one (1) Trading Day before the Fundamental Transaction Effective Date, the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem.  The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 6 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 101% of the Principal plus any accrued but unpaid Interest thereon up to, but not including, the Fundamental Transaction Effective Date (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price”) on the Fundamental Transaction Effective Date.  In addition, for any redemption made prior to March 28, 2011, the Holder shall also be paid the Make-Whole Premium, if any, as applicable.  Redemptions required by this Section 6 shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent redemptions required by this Section 6 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, until the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (together with interest thereon and the Make-Whole Premium, if any) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 6 may be converted, in whole or in part pursuant to Section 4.  The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 6, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.  Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 6 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

7.  RIGHTS UPON CERTAIN OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

(a)  Corporate Events.  Subject to the Section 4(d) and 6 herein as applicable, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Common Shares in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion

7




rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to Common Shares) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate.  The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events unless or until the Note is redeemed or repaid.

8.  ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE UPON SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON SHARES.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

9.  COVENANTS.

(a)  Affirmative Covenants.  Until all Principal and Interest and any other amounts due and payable under this Note have been paid in full in cash, the Company shall, and shall cause each Significant Subsidiary to:

(i)  provide prompt written notice to the Holder of the occurrence of any Event of Default, or any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, hereunder;

(ii)  do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence; and

(iii)  (A)  keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities, (B) permit any representatives designated by the Holder, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested, and (C) provide to the Holder the same information rights as it provides to its stockholders.

(b)  Negative Covenants.  Until all principal and interest and any other amounts due and payable under this Note have been paid in full in cash, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to:

(i)  create, incur, assume or permit to exist any indebtedness or guarantee, directly or indirectly, except:

(A)          indebtedness with respect to equipment leases or trade accounts of the Company or any Subsidiary arising in the ordinary course of business;

(H)          up to $15,000,000 of indebtedness assumed by the Company in the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of another Person; provided that, (a) such indebtedness existed at the time of such acquisition and was not created in anticipation thereof, (b) the aggregate amount of such indebtedness assumed in connection with such acquisition shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate amount of consideration paid by the Company for such acquisition and (c) any Liens securing such indebtedness do not at any time cover or encumber any assets or property other than the assets or property of the Person acquired which is financed  by such indebtedness

(I)            up to $2,500,000 of additional indebtedness in the aggregate outstanding at any time; and

(J)            inter-company indebtedness for valid business purposes and consistent with the Company’s past practices.

(ii)  create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest, assignment, lien (statutory or other), claim, encumbrance, license or sublicense or security interest (collectively, a “Lien”) in or upon any of its assets, except:

(iv)  declare any cash dividends on any shares of any class of its capital stock or membership interests, or apply any of its property or assets to the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, or set apart any sum for the payment of any cash dividends on, or for the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, or make any other distribution by reduction of capital or otherwise in respect of, any shares of any class of its capital stock or membership interests, provided, however, that (i) any Subsidiary wholly owned by the Company may pay dividends directly to the Company and (ii) this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment;

(v)  sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose (including pursuant to a merger) of any asset with a value greater than $1,000,000, except (a) sales, transfers, leases and other dispositions of inventory, used, obsolete or surplus equipment or other property and investments in each case in the ordinary course of business, (b) such sales, transfers or dispositions for cash or marketable securities which are reasonably approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors or (c) assets that are substantially used in the Company’s wireless business;

10




(viii)  permit the Subsidiaries that are not party to the Security Agreement to have assets in an aggregate amount greater than $500,000.

10.  RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a)  Reservation. The Company shall have sufficient authorized and unissued Common Shares for each of the Notes equal to the number of Common Shares necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Note as of the Issuance Date. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, the number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of Common Shares so available be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Amount”).

11.   REDEMPTION MECHANICS.  In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within five (5) Trading Days, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid.  Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 16(d)) to the Holder representing such Conversion Amount.

12.  RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case any Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the Common Shares on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one Common Share, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the Common Shares on the trading day immediately preceding such record date.

11




13.  VOTE TO ISSUE, OR CHANGE THE TERMS OF, NOTES.  This Note may be amended and any provision may be waived with the consent of the Company and the Holder.  In addition, the Notes may be amended and a provision may be waived by the Company with the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.  Any change or amendment so approved shall be binding upon all existing and future holders of this Note; provided that, no such amendment or waiver may materially and adversely affect the economic interest in the Company of the Holder of this Note in a manner disproportionate to the Holders of other Notes without the consent of the Holder hereof.

14.  TRANSFER.  This Note and any Common Shares issued upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the consent of the Company in aggregate principal amounts of at least $500,000, subject only to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and compliance with applicable law.

15.  RESTRICTIONS ON CONVERSION.  The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(a), to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, and taking into account all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 14.80% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates, in each case if such conversion or exercise of such instrument is not permitted in order to keep the Holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock at or below the Maximum Percentage. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 15, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 15, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  For any reason and at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the

12




date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice so long as such specified Maximum Percentage shall not exceed 14.80%; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Notes.

16.  REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.

(b)  Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 16(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.

(c)  Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations.  This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 16(d) and in principal amounts of at least $100,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

19.  CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS.  This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Holders and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.  The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note.

20.  FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER.  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

21.  NOTICES.  Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Note, including in reasonable

23.  WAIVER OF NOTICE.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

24.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State of New York and waive trial by jury.  Both parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.  In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.

25.  INDEMNIFICATION.

(b)           To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and the Holder hereof shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this the this Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

26.  MAXIMUM PAYMENTS.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.  In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.

27.  NONCIRCUMVENTION.
