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 ”).

(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.

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

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.
