FOR VALUE RECEIVED
, Vyyo Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “ Company
”), hereby promises to pay to Goldman Sachs Investment
Partners Master Fund, L.P. or registered assigns (“
Holder ”) the amount set out above as the Principal
(as the same may be reduced or increased from time to time pursuant
to the terms hereof, the “ Principal ”) on the
Maturity Date unless earlier redeemed, prepaid or converted (in
each case in accordance with the terms hereof), and to pay interest
on any outstanding Principal at the rate and at such times as are
set forth in Section 2 hereof, 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 Senior Secured Convertible Note, together
with the Syntek Note, are duly authorized notes of the Company
(this note being referred to as the “ Note ”
and, together with the Syntek Note, the “ Notes
”), issued in the aggregate original principal amount of
$41,000,000.00 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 ”), and is entitled to the benefits thereof and
to the exercise of the remedies provided thereby or otherwise
available in respect thereof. Certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in Section 31 hereof.
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 equal to the then outstanding
Principal and the accrued and unpaid Interest thereon. The
Company shall make such payment on the Maturity Date by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in
writing by the Holder. Except as set forth in Section 8,
this Note may be redeemed or prepaid, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty, at any time upon two (2) Business
Days’ prior written notice to Holder. Any prepayments
of this Note will be applied first to any accrued but unpaid Cash
Interest and then to unpaid Principal. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the first $4,500,000 of
funds applied by the Company to the prepayment of unpaid Principal
and accrued but unpaid Interest under the Notes will be applied
pro rata to this Note and the Syntek Note in the
ratio of 1:½. For the avoidance of doubt and for
illustrative purposes only, a prepayment of unpaid Principal and
accrued but unpaid Interest under the Notes in the aggregate amount
of $1,500,000 pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence would
be applied $1,000,000 to this Note and $500,000 to the Syntek
Note.
2.
INTEREST; INTEREST RATE . Interest on this Note
(“ Interest ”) shall accrue at the rate of 20%
per annum (“ Interest Rate ”), of which
(i) an amount equal to 5% per annum (“ Cash
Interest ”) shall be payable in cash on each Interest
Date (as defined below) by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, and (ii) an amount equal to 15% per annum shall be
added to the outstanding Principal amount on each Interest Date (as
defined below). 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 July 1, 2008. 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 ”); provided, that such 2% increase shall be payable
solely in cash. 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 (other than
Interest previously added to the Principal) shall accrue at the
same rate compounded quarterly.
3.
GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT . This Note is a
senior secured obligation of the Company. The Company’s
obligations under this Note are (i) guarantied by certain of
its Subsidiaries, and (ii) secured by a security interest in
substantially all of the assets of the Company and such
Subsidiaries, in each case pursuant to the terms and provisions of
that certain Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, by and among the Company, the Holder, and the other parties
identified therein (the “ Security Agreement
”). This Note is subject to the terms and provisions of
the Security Agreement, and the Holder, by its acceptance of this
Note, hereby acknowledges and agrees to such terms and
provisions.

4.
CONVERSION OF NOTES UPON EQUITY INVESTMENT .
(a)
Optional Conversion Upon Qualified Equity Investment .
If, on or prior to the Maturity Date, there occurs a closing of the
sale and issuance of equity securities of the Company (including
rights, options or warrants to acquire equity securities and any
evidence of indebtedness or securities directly or indirectly
convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, the “
Equity Securities ”) to investors not affiliated with
the Company that yields aggregate proceeds (cash or non-cash and
net of fees and expenses) to the Company valued at not less than
$51,000,000, including amounts in the form of forgiveness or
cancellation of indebtedness represented by conversion of the Notes
(the “ Qualified Equity Investment ”), then, at
the Holder’s option upon written notice to the Company, the
principal amount of this Note, and any Interest accrued hereon or
thereon, shall convert into shares of such Equity Securities at a
price per share equal to the price per share paid for such Equity
Securities by investors not affiliated with the Company.
(b)
Optional Conversion Upon Non-Qualified Equity Investment
. If, on or prior to the Maturity Date, a Qualified Equity
Investment does not occur, but there occurs a closing of the sale
and issuance of Equity Securities of the Company to investors not
affiliated with the Company in an alternative financing (a “
Non-Qualified Equity Investment ”), then, at the
Holder’s option upon written notice to the Company, the
principal amount of this Note, and any Interest accrued hereon or
thereon, shall convert into shares of the Equity Securities sold in
such Non-Qualified Equity Investment at a price per share equal to
ninety percent (90%) of the price per share paid for such Equity
Securities by investors not affiliated with the Company.
(c)
Exercise of Conversion Right . The Company shall give
the Holder notice of any Qualified Equity Investment or
Non-Qualified Equity Investment promptly upon the occurrence of
such event (the “ Company Notice ”). In
order to exercise the conversion right in this Section 4, the
Holder shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Company
Notice, surrender this Note to the office of the Company and shall
deliver to the Company a notice (a “ Conversion Notice
”) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the intended
exercise thereof specifying the unpaid principal amount of the Note
to be converted to Equity Securities. Upon receiving any
Conversion Notice, the Company shall within five (5) days (or
at such later time as to which the Company and the Holder may
agree) deliver to the address of the Holder as set forth in the
Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) at the Company’s
expense (including any stamp taxes or similar governmental
charges), the appropriate number of duly or validly issued and
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Equity Securities, as
applicable, and one or more stock certificates therefor (in such
number and
3
registered in such names as the Holder may
direct) and, (ii) to the extent the Note is converted in part
only, a new Note (with the same terms as the original Note) in
principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such
Note. Any accrued or unpaid interest on the unpaid principal
amount of the Note being converted, up to and including the date of
conversion, shall be added to the remaining outstanding principal
amount of the Note (and such amount shall bear interest and be
converted into shares of Equity Securities at the time the last
remaining principal amount of the Note is being converted).
Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior
to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Note,
and the Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder of such shares of Equity Securities as of such
date.
5.
AUTOMATIC CONVERSION OF SYNTEK NOTE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS
NOTE . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
upon the conversion from time to time of all or any portion of this
Note in connection with (i) a Qualified Equity Investment or
(ii) a Non-Qualified Equity Investment, a pro
rata portion of the Syntek Note in the ratio of 35:1.5 shall
automatically convert upon such Qualified Equity Investment or
Non-Qualified Equity Investment, as applicable, in accordance with
the terms of Section 4 thereof (the “ Automatic
Syntek Conversion ”). Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the aggregate Principal amount of the
Syntek Note subject to the Automatic Syntek Conversion shall not
exceed $1,500,000. For the avoidance of doubt and for
illustrative purposes only, a conversion of $1,000,000 of Principal
and accrued but unpaid Interest in respect of this Note would
result in automatic conversion of $42,857.14 of Principal and
accrued but unpaid Interest in respect of the Syntek Note.
6.
CONVERSION OF NOTES INTO COMMON SHARES . Subject to
Sections 10 and 18, this Note shall be convertible into shares of

Common Shares ”), on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 6.

the Issuance Date and prior to repayment or conversion pursuant to
Section 4, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion
of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below)

Section 6(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.
4
(b)
Conversion Rate . The number of Common Shares issuable
upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to
Section 6(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)

Date (as defined below) or other date of determination a price
equal to $5.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c)

Amount into Common Shares on any date (a “ Conversion
Date ”), the Holder shall: (A) transmit by facsimile

New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of
conversion (the “ Common Conversion Notice

Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in
the Common 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 and
(2) pay to the Holder in cash an amount equal to the accrued
and unpaid Cash Interest on the Conversion Amount up to and
including the Conversion Date. 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.

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

this Note upon conversion.
