1. Securities.
This Security is a duly authorized 4.5% Convertible Subordinated Secured Note due 2013 (the “Securities”) of Avistar Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation (including any successor corporation, the “Company”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings given to those terms in Section 8 hereof.
2. Principal and Interest.
(a) The Company for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Gerald J. Burnett and Marjorie J. Burnett Revocable Trust for the Benefit of Gerald J. and Marjorie J. Burnett or its registered assigns, the principal sum of U.S $3,000,000 on March 29, 2013 (the “Final Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate (as defined below) from March 29, 2011, until repayment in full at the Final Maturity Date or conversion. Interest is payable in cash in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof.
(b) This Security shall bear interest at the rate equal to 4.5% per annum. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on March 29 and September 29 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 29, 2011, with interest payable in U.S. dollars to the Holder in whose name this Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) was registered at the close of business on the preceding March 29 and September 29, respectively, of each year (each a “Regular Record Date”) (or, if such date is not a Business Day, at the close of business on the immediately succeeding Business Day).
(c) Interest on this Security shall be computed (i) for any full semi-annual period for which a particular Interest Rate is applicable, on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and (ii) for any period for less than a full semi-annual period for which a particular Interest Rate is applicable, on the basis of a 30-day month and, for such periods of less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a 30-day month.
(d) Interest shall be due and payable on this Security as follows:
(1) The Holder of this Security as of the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled (except as otherwise indicated in this Section 2) to receive and shall receive, as the registered Holder as of such Regular Record Date, interest on this Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(2) In the event that this Security is converted pursuant to Section 3, the Holder who converts this Security on any date other than an Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to accrued and unpaid interest from the preceding Interest Payment Date until the Conversion Date, or otherwise, on such Security; and the Holder that converts this Security after a Regular Record Date but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date will receive accrued and unpaid interest for such period on such Interest Payment Date.

(e) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) this Security shall be made upon the surrender of this Security to the Company, at its chief executive office (or such other office within the United States as shall be designated by the Company to the holder hereof) (the “Designated Office”), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Payment of principal (and premium, if any), interest and all other amounts payable with respect to the Securities (i) shall be made by check mailed to a Holder that holds an aggregate principal amount of securities of $100,000 or less or (ii) shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Holder that holds an aggregate principal amount of Securities in excess of $100,000; provided that if the Holder entitled thereto shall not have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Company on or prior to the third Business Day immediately prior to the date on which the Company makes such payment, such payment may be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register.
(f) This Note shall not be prepaid prior to the Final Maturity Date without the consent of the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the events described in Section 3(h) occurs prior to March 29, 2012, the Company shall have the option at its sole discretion, to pre-pay the principal amount of this Security plus accrued and unpaid interest (or any portion thereof), without the consent of the Holder. The pre-payment fee shall be $50,000 for every one million dollars (i.e., $150,000 for $3,000,000) that is prepaid.
3. Conversion.
(a) (1) The holder of this Security may convert the principal amount of this Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into Common Stock at any time on or after March 29, 2012 and prior to the repayment of this Note in full on or after the close of business on the Final Maturity Date, at the Conversion Price then in effect.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Security shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of this Security or portion hereof surrendered for conversion by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. The initial conversion price is $0.70 per share and is subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3 (as such price may be adjusted, the “Conversion Price”). To convert this Security, the Holder hereof shall: (w) send by facsimile (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed conversion notice in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company, (x) surrender or cause to be surrendered this Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, along with a copy of the Conversion Notice as soon as practicable thereafter to the Company, and (y) pay all interest to which the Holder is not entitled, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d). Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from the Holder, the Company shall promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation to the Holder stating that the Conversion Notice has been received, the date upon which the Company expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Company regarding the conversion. The Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a conversion unless either this Security is delivered to the Company as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company or the transfer agent for the Common Stock that this Security has been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Company required by Section 9(g)(4) hereof.
As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the portion of this Security being converted, (y) a new Security in the form hereof representing the balance of the principal amount hereof not being converted, if any, and (z) cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 3(a)(6). The Company shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion.
(2) The Holder is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until the Holder has converted this Security into Common Stock, and only to the extent this Security is deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.
(3) This Security shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of this Security for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions (such day, the “Conversion Date”), and at such time the rights of the Holder of this Security as the Holder hereof shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of this Security on any date that is not a Business Day shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day.

(4) If this Security is converted in part, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of this Security.
(5) The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Security. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay an amount in cash for the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined (calculated to the nearest 1/1000th of a share) by multiplying the Trading Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.
(6) The Company shall, if the Holder so elects, deliver the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Security to any third party designated by the Holder, subject to compliance with Sections 3(e) and 9(c) hereof.
(b) The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Conversion Record Date fixed for the determination of the holders entitled to such dividend or distribution; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares referred to in (A) above and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution.
Such reduction in the Conversion Price shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 3(b)(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price that otherwise would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(2) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as applicable, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(3) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants issued pursuant to a rights plan for which an adjustment shall be provided pursuant to Section 3(b)(4)) to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price on the Conversion Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day after such Conversion Record Date by a fraction:
Avistar Convertible Subordinated Secured Note - Burnett Trust -_(PALIB2_5406697_5).DOC
-3-
(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Conversion Record Date, plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Conversion Record Date, plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that otherwise would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that otherwise would then be in effect if the Conversion Record Date had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(4) (A) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 3(b)(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding (i) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 3(b)(3), and (ii) dividends or distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 3(f) applies (such capital stock, evidences of its indebtedness, cash, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 3(b)(4) called the “Distributed Assets”), then, in each such case, subject to clause (B) of this Section 3(b)(4), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 3(b)(9)) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a board resolution) on such date of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Conversion Record Date); and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price.

-4-
Such reduction in the Conversion Price shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Conversion Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Security shall have the right to receive upon conversion hereof (or any portion hereof) the amount of Distributed Assets the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Security (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Conversion Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that otherwise would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(B) If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any Distributed Assets with respect to any distribution for purposes of this Section 3(b)(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Distributed Assets comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a board resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holders.
(5) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Sections 3(b)(1), (2), (3) or (4), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any even treated as such for income tax purposes or otherwise.
(6) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3(b)(6) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made by the Company in good faith and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as applicable. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.
(7) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided in Section 3(b), the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3(b) and shall prepare a certificate signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and shall promptly deliver such certificate to the Holder of this Security.
(8) For purposes of this Section 3(b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(9) For purposes hereof:
(A) “Conversion Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).
(i) “Current Market Price” shall mean the average of the daily Trading Prices per share of Common Stock (or such other security as specified herein) for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question
(c) For purposes of this Section 3, the term “ex” date, when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Trading Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective and with respect to any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer.

(d) Whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Price are called for pursuant to this Section 3(b), such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 3(b) and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(e) In case at any time after the date hereof:
(1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3;
(2) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class (or of securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class) or of any other rights;
(3) there shall occur any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, a change in par value, a change from par value to no par value or a change from no par value to par value), or any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(4) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
the Company shall cause to be provided to the Holder of this Security in accordance with Section 9(f), at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating:
(A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined; or
(B) the date on which such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, transfer, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings or actions described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 3(c).
(f) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Security, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of this Security. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of this Security will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable.
(g) Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of this Security. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of this Security, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

(h) If any of following events occur:
(1) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive capital stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock;
(2) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the Company with another Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock; or
(3) any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as applicable, shall execute with the Holder of this Security a supplemental agreement providing that this Security shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) that such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had this Security been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance assuming the Holder, as a holder of Common Stock, did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each of the shares of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-Electing Share”), then for the purposes of this Section 3(h) the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance for each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as applicable, in such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental agreement shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.
The above provisions of this Section shall apply to successive or series of related reclassifications, changes, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.
(i) The Company (i) shall use its reasonable efforts to effect all registrations with, and obtain all approvals by, all governmental authorities that may be necessary under any United States federal or state law (including the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and state securities and Blue Sky laws) for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Security to be lawfully issued and delivered as provided herein, and thereafter publicly traded (if permissible under the Securities Act) and qualified or listed as contemplated by clause (ii); and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to list the Common Stock required to be issued and delivered upon conversion of this Security, prior to such issuance or delivery, on any national securities exchange on which outstanding Common Stock is listed immediately prior to such time of delivery.

-7-
(j) Unless and until the Company receives any necessary stockholder approval, no adjustment pursuant to Section 3(b)(3), 3(b)(4), 3(b)(5) or 3(k) shall cause the Conversion Price to be less than $0.35 (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications or similar events).
(k) If and whenever on or after the Issue Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(k) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration per share less than a price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 3(k), the following shall be applicable:
(1) If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3(k)(1), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
(2) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(k)(2), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(k), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(3) If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(k)(3), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issue Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
(4) The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(5) If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
4. Covenants of the Company.
(a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on this Security, at the respective times and in the manner provided for herein.
(b) Unless otherwise permitted herein, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the rights (charter and statutory) of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if (a) the Company shall determine in good faith that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holder or (b) the Company shall no longer continue to have such right as a result of a good faith, arms-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company.
(c) The Company covenants that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium (if any), interest or other amounts due on this Security as contemplated herein, whenever enacted, now or at any time hereinafter in force, or which may affect the covenants of performance in this Security and the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted herein to the Holder of this Security, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
(d) The Company covenants not to incur any secured indebtedness for borrowed money, except for (i) indebtedness evidenced by the Securities issued under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) indebtedness secured by a lien that is otherwise permitted pursuant to clause (e), (k), (m), (n) and (o) of the definition of Permitted Liens as defined in the Security Agreement, (iii) Senior Indebtedness and (iv) any extension, refinance, renewal, replacement, defeasance or refunding of any indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, provided that the principal amount of such indebtedness does not exceed the original principal amount of such indebtedness except by an amount equal to a reasonable premium and any other reasonable amount paid, including, fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such extension, refinance, renewal, replacement, defeasance or refunding of such indebtedness.

(e) The Company covenants to make all payments under this Security, whether principal payments or interest payments, pro rata to each holder of a Security that has been issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. For purposes of this Security, the term “pro rata” shall mean, when calculating a holder’s portion of any payment, that payment (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal amount of such holder’s Security and (ii) the denominator of which is the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Securities issued under the Purchase Agreement. In the event that a holder receives payments in excess of its pro rata amount, then such holder shall hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the other holders of the Securities and shall pay such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon demand by such holders.
5. Events of Default.
(a) “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(1) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal or premium, if any (a “Defaulted Payment”) on any of the Securities when the same becomes due and payable at the Final Maturity Date, upon declaration, when due for purchase, by the Company or otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Section 7 hereof;
(2) the Company defaults in the payment of an installment of interest on any of the Securities when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of seven days, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Section 7;
(3) the Company fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Security or Security Agreement and the default continues for a period of 20 days after written notice of such failure (or such shorter period as is provided for herein or therein), requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities;
(4) the Company, or a Significant Subsidiary (A) fails to make any payment at maturity, including any grace period, in respect of any obligation for borrowed money evidenced by a note, debenture or bond in an outstanding principal amount in excess of $100,000 and such failure continues or (B) defaults with respect to any Instrument, which default results in the acceleration of Indebtedness represented by such Instrument in an amount in excess of $100,000 in the case of clause (A) without such Indebtedness having been discharged or in the case of clause (B) such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, and in the case of either of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Company by the holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities;
(5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any Significant Subsidiary bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, under any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
Avistar Convertible Subordinated Secured Note - Burnett Trust -_(PALIB2_5406697_5).DOC
-10-
(6) the commencement by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or the filing by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or the consent by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or the taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary expressly in furtherance of any such action.
A default under clause (3) or (4) above is not an Event of Default until the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default (and such default is not waived) within the time specified in clause (3) or (4) above after actual receipt of such notice. Any such notice must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a "Notice of Default".
The Company shall, within 30 days of the occurrence of a default, give to the Holder of this Security notice of all uncured defaults known to it and written notice of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
(b) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(5) or 5(a)(6) hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company, may declare due and payable the principal and premium, if any, of this Security and all other outstanding Securities, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment shall be immediately due and payable.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(5) or 5(a)(6) occurs with respect to the Company, the principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on this Security shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder.
The holders of not less than a majority of the principal of the outstanding Securities may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities, rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences (including waiver of any defaults) if:
(1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of a Defaulted Payment on this Security and any of the other Securities that have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived, and
(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided, however, that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been made based on the existence of an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(4) and the default with respect to the instrument for money borrowed which gave rise to such Event of Default has ceased or been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then such Event of Default shall be deemed to be likewise cured and any acceleration with respect thereto rescinded. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

-11-
(c) If an Event of Default with respect to this Security occurs and is continuing, the holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the Defaulted Payment or interest due and payable on this Security or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Security.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Security, the Holder of this Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal, premium, if any, interest in respect of the Securities held by the Holder, on or after the respective due dates, to convert the Securities in accordance with Section 3 or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of the Holder.
(e) If the Holder of this Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Security and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company and the Holder shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, no right or remedy conferred in this Security upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
(g) No delay or omission of the Holder of this Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Section 5 or by law to the Holder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Holder.
(h) The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Security; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder hereof, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
6. Consolidation, Merger, Etc.
(a) The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or, directly or indirectly, convey, transfer, sell or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person (other than to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) unless:
(1) in the event that the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another Person or convey, transfer, sell or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or sale, or which leases, all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, which shall expressly assume, if other than the Company, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Holder of this Security in form satisfactory to the Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any interest on this Security and the performance or observance of every covenant of this Security on the part of the Company to be performed or observed, including without limitation the conversion rights provided herein; and
Avistar Convertible Subordinated Secured Note - Burnett Trust -_(PALIB2_5406697_5).DOC
-12-
(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing.
(b) Upon any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer, sale or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 6(a), the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer, sale or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Security with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Security.
7. Subordination.
(a) The Company covenants and agrees, and the Holder of this Security by its acceptance hereof likewise covenants and agrees, that this Security is subject to the provisions of this Section 7, and each other Person holding this Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.
The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full, in cash or in such other form of payment as may be acceptable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of original issuance of this Security or thereafter incurred or created.
The expression “payment in full” or “paid in full” or any similar term or phrase when used in this Security with respect to Senior Indebtedness shall mean the payment in full of all such Senior Indebtedness in cash or such other form of payment as may be acceptable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, or, in the case of Senior Indebtedness consisting of contingent obligations in respect of letters of credit or other reimbursement obligations, the setting apart of cash sufficient to discharge such portion of Senior Indebtedness in an account for the exclusive benefit of the holders thereof, in which account such holders shall be granted a first priority perfected security interest in a manner reasonably acceptable to such holders.
No provision of this Section 7 shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default under this Security.
(b) Payments to Holders. No payment shall be made with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on this Security, if:
(1) a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable period of grace (a “Payment Default”); or
(2) a default, other than a Payment Default, occurs and is continuing with respect to Senior Indebtedness that then permits holders of the Senior Indebtedness as to which such default related to accelerate its maturity and the Company receives written notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a representative of Senior Indebtedness (a “Non-Payment Default”).
The Company may and shall resume payments on this Security (1) in the case of a Payment Default, on the date upon which such default is cured, waived or ceases to exist, and (2) in the case of a Non-Payment Default, on the earlier of the date on which the Non-Payment Default is cured, waived or ceases to exist or 179 days have passed after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received and this Security otherwise permits payment at that time.
Avistar Convertible Subordinated Secured Note - Burnett Trust -_(PALIB2_5406697_5).DOC
-13-
No new period of payment blockage for a Non-Payment Default may be commenced pursuant to a Payment Blockage Notice unless and until 365 days shall have elapsed since the Company’s receipt of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice. No Non-Payment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Company of this Security shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.
If payment of this Security is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration. The Company may not make any payments on the Securities until 120 days have passed after the occurrence of the acceleration of the Securities and the Company may then resume payments on the Securities at such time if the Company is then permitted to make such payments under the Securities.
(c) Bankruptcy and Dissolution, Etc. Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, in cash or in such other form of payment as may be acceptable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment is made on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security; and upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other such proceedings, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holder of this Security would be entitled, but for the provisions of this Section 7, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holder of this Security if received by it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court order) or their respective representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash or in such other form of payment as may be acceptable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holder of this Security.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Holder of this Security receives any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind in contravention of any term of this Security, whether in cash, property or securities, before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, in cash or such other form of payment as may be acceptable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, then such payment or distribution shall be held by the recipient or recipients in trust for the benefit of, and shall immediately be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to make payment in full, in cash or such other form of payment as may be acceptable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution, or provision therefore, to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
For purposes of Section 7(b) hereof and this Section 7(c), the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated (at least to the extent provided in this Section 7 with respect to this Security) to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Section 6 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 7(c) if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Section 6.

-14-
(d) Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full in cash, or in such other form of payment as may be acceptable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holder of this Security shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as this Security is subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on this Security shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holder of this Security would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 7, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7, to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness by holders of this Security, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holder of this Security, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness; and no payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the holder of this Security pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Section 7, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of this Security. It is understood that the provisions of this Section 7 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holder of this Security, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.
Nothing contained in this Section 7 or elsewhere in this Security is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holder of this Security, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holder of this Security the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Security as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holder of this Security and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Holder of this Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Security, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 7 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Section 7, the Holder of this Security shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in that such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Holder of this Security, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 7.
(e) Notice. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Holder of this Security of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to in respect of this Security pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.
The Holder of this Security shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing itself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Holder of this Security determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 7, the Holder of this Security may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Holder of this Security as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 7, and if such evidence is not furnished the Holder of this Security may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

(f) No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Security, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holder of this Security, without incurring responsibility to the Holder of this Security, and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Security or the obligations of the Holder of this Security to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place, or terms of payment (including any change in the rate of interest) or extend the time of payment of, or renew, amend, modify, alter, or grant any waiver or release with respect to, or consent to any departure from, any Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement evidencing, governing, creating, guaranteeing or securing any Senior Indebtedness; (b) sell, exchange, release, or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (c) release any Person liable under or in respect of the Senior Indebtedness; (d) fail or delay in the perfection of liens securing the Senior Indebtedness; (e) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person; or (f) amend, or grant any waiver or release with respect to, or consent to any departure from, any guarantee for all or any of the Senior Indebtedness.
(g) Certain Conversions Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Section 7 only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of this Security in accordance with Section 3 and in connection with the payment of interest in accordance with Section 2 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on this Security or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of this Security, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (excluding cash paid for fractional shares upon conversion of this Security in accordance with Section 3) shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of this Security. For the purposes of this Section 7, the term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any stock of any class of the Company and (b) securities of the Company that are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness that may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, this Security is so subordinated as provided in this Section 7. Nothing contained in this Section 7 or elsewhere in this Security is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holder of this Security, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of this Security to convert this Security in accordance with Section 3.
(h) Exclusions from Subordination and Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the obligations of the Holder of this Security set forth in this Section 7 shall not apply to the Segregated Assets (as defined in Section 8) and the Holder’s rights in the Segregated Assets shall be senior to, and take priority over, any and all rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness in the Segregated Assets. The holders of the Senior Indebtedness have released any and all Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement) in the Segregated Assets. In the event that the Holder receives the Segregated Assets pursuant to the terms of this Note and/or the Security Agreement, the Holder will have no obligation to transfer, assign or account for such Segregated Assets to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness.
