 Exhibit 10.11 
 CASH COMPENSATION SUSPENSION AGREEMENT 
 AGREEMENT made this 14th day of August 2008 by and
between Nanogen, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Howard C. Birndorf, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company’s available cash resources have become limited such that the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern
unless certain bridge financing is obtained in order to finance the Company’s operations for the interim period prior to the closing of the contemplated business combination between the Company and Financière Elitech SAS, a
société par actions simplifiée incorporated under the laws of France and registered with the Clerk of the Commercial Court of Nanterre under the number 481 676 062 (“Elitech”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreements, dated as of August 14, 2008 (the “Exchange
Agreements”), each between the Company and holders (the “Noteholders”) of the Company’s 9.75% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (as hereafter amended or modified, the “9.75%
Notes”), such Noteholders will provide the requisite consent and approval for the Company to obtain the requisite bridge financing in an amount of $8.0 million (the “Bridge Financing”), provided the Company and
the Executive enter into an agreement to suspend, to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, the payment of the Executive’s salary and any other cash compensation that would otherwise be made to him during the period commencing
August 14, 2008 and continuing through (a) the closing date of the Elitech Transaction (as defined below) or (b) if the Elitech Agreement (as defined below) has been terminated, the later of (i) the date that the payment by the
Company of those suspended salary and other compensatory cash payments would no longer jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and (ii) the date on which the Company no longer has any obligations to the Noteholders
under the Senior Secured Convertible Bridge Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) issued pursuant to the Bridge Agreement (as defined below) (the “Suspension Period”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements, dated as of August 14, 2008 (the “Bridge
Agreements”), each between the Company and investors in the bridge financing (the “Bridge Investors”), a condition to the closing of the Bridge Financing is that the Company and the Executive enter into an
agreement to suspend, the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, the payment of Executive’s salary and other cash compensation that would otherwise be made to him during the Suspension Period. 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Cal Labor Code section 515 and Cal Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Order No. 4,
Section 1(A)(1), the Executive must, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, be paid a minimum salary of $640.00 per week, which is the minimum payable to a California employee who qualifies for the executive exemption
under applicable law (the “Minimum Weekly Salary Amount”). 
 WHEREAS, the parties intend that each of the
Executive’s suspended cash payments will be credited to an account maintained on the Executive’s behalf on the Company’s books and records as and when that cash payment would have otherwise been made to the Executive in the absence of
such suspension, and the balance credited to such book account shall accrue interest until paid at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum, compounded monthly. 

 WHEREAS, the Company believes that upon the consummation of the business combination contemplated
in the Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2008 (the “Elitech Agreement”), by and among the Company, Elitech and the shareholders of Elitech, as listed on Schedule 1 attached thereto (the “Elitech
Transaction”), the suspended cash payments and all interest accrued thereon due can be made to the Executive without further jeopardizing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, and the Suspension Period will
accordingly end at that time. 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive intend that the suspension of the Executive’s cash
payments pursuant to this Agreement shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the final Treasury Regulations
thereunder. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and as an
inducement to the Noteholders to enter into the Exchange Agreements and the Bridge Investors to enter into the Bridge Agreements, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Suspension of Cash Payments and Creation of Suspension Account. During the Suspension Period, the excess of the salary and any other compensatory cash payments that the Executive would otherwise be
entitled to receive for his services for such period in the absence of this Agreement over the Minimum Weekly Salary Amount ($640.00 per week during the Suspension Period) shall not be paid to the Executive. Instead, the Company shall establish a
reserve on the books of the Company to be maintained in the name of the Executive (the “Suspense Account”) to which shall be credited each suspended salary or other compensatory cash payment that would otherwise be due the
Executive during the Suspension Period in the absence of this Agreement. Accordingly, the Suspense Account shall be credited with each salary and any other compensatory cash payment suspended pursuant to this Agreement as and when that salary or
other compensatory cash payment would have otherwise been made to the Executive in the absence of such suspension, and the balance credited to such reserve shall accrue interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, compounded monthly,
until paid. 
 2. Payment. The entire balance credited to the Suspense Account (suspended salary and other compensatory cash
payments plus accrued interest) shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment on the fifth business day following (a) the closing date of the Elitech Transaction or (b) if the Elitech Agreement has been terminated, the later of
(i) the date that the payment by the Company of those suspended salary and other compensatory cash payments would no longer jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, as determined by the Company’s Board of
Directors or its Compensation Committee, and (ii) the date on which the Company no longer has any obligations to the Noteholders under the Bridge Notes. 

 3. General. 
 (a) The obligation to pay the balance of the Suspense Account to the Executive shall at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Suspense Account shall be paid from the Company’s
general assets, and the Executive’s interest in the Suspense Account shall at all times be no greater than that of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 
 (b) No payment under this Agreement shall be subjected by the Company or by the Executive in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, whether voluntary or
involuntary, nor shall the Company be in any way liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person entitled to such benefit or payment. However, any amounts that become due and payable to the Executive
under this Agreement following his death shall be paid to his estate. 
 (c) The action of the Company in establishing this Agreement or the
Suspense Account shall not be construed so as to grant the Executive the right to remain in the employ of the Company for any period of specific duration, and the Executive shall at all times continue to be employed pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2007, between the Company and Executive, except as that agreement is modified herein. 
 (d) The obligation of the Company to make the payments required hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition or other reorganization. 
 4. Section 409A Liability. 
 (a) The Company shall indemnify the Executive with respect to any federal and state penalty taxes, interest penalties or other related costs and expenses the Executive may in fact incur under Code Section 409A (or the corresponding
provisions of applicable state tax laws) as a result of the suspension of one or more of his salary and/or other compensatory cash payments pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall accordingly provide the Executive with a tax gross-up payment
(the “Section 409A Gross-Up Payment”) with respect to any penalty tax and interest liability incurred by the Executive under Code Section 409A (and the corresponding provisions of applicable state tax laws) as a result
of this Agreement (collectively, the “Penalty Tax Liability”). The Section 409A Gross-Up Payment shall be in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes, including any federal and state taxes imposed
upon the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment equal to the aggregate Penalty Tax Liability imposed upon the Executive with respect to his suspended salary and compensatory cash
payments. The amount of the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment shall be calculated by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to the Company and the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”). Such calculation shall
be completed within ten (10) business days after it is first determined that the Executive is subject to the Penalty Tax Liability, and the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment so calculated shall be paid to or on behalf of the Executive within
five (5) business days after the completion of such determination or (if later) at the time the related Penalty Tax Liability is remitted to the appropriate tax authorities. In the event that the Executive’s actual Penalty Tax Liability is
determined by a Final Determination to be greater 

 
than the Penalty Tax Liability taken into account for purposes of the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment initially made to the Executive pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 4(a), then within thirty (30) days following that Final Determination, the Executive shall notify the Company of such determination, and the Accounting Firm shall, within ten (10) business days thereafter,
make a new calculation of the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment based upon that Final Determination and provide the Company and the Executive with the supporting calculations for any supplemental Section 409A Gross-Up Payment attributable to
that excess Penalty Tax Liability. The Company shall make the supplemental Section 409A Gross-Up payment to the Executive within five (5) business days following the completion of the applicable calculations or (if later) at the time such
excess Penalty Tax Liability is remitted to the appropriate tax authorities. In the event that the Executive’s actual Penalty Tax Liability is determined by a Final Determination to be less than the Penalty Tax Liability taken into account for
purposes of the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment initially made to the Executive pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4(a), then the Executive shall refund to the Company, promptly upon receipt, any federal or state tax refund
attributable to the overpayment of his Penalty Tax Liability. 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 4, a “Final
Determination” means an audit adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service that is either (i) agreed to by both the Executive and the Company or (ii) sustained by a court of competent jurisdiction in a decision with which the
Executive and the Company concur or with respect to which the period within which an appeal may be filed has lapsed without a notice of appeal being filed. adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service that is either agreed to by the Executive or his
estate, with the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), or an adjustment that is sustained by a court of competent jurisdiction in a decision with which the Executive and the Company concur or with respect to which the
period within which an appeal may be filed has lapsed without a notice of appeal being filed. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the foregoing, no Section 409A Gross-Up Payment shall be made later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related taxes are remitted to the appropriate tax authorities or such other specified
time or schedule that may be permitted under Section 409A of the Code. To the extent the Executive may become entitled to any reimbursement of expenses incurred by him at the direction of the Company in connection with any tax audit or
litigation addressing the existence or amount of the Penalty Tax Liability, such reimbursement shall be paid to the Executive no later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which the Penalty Tax Liability that is the subject
of such audit or litigation is paid by or on behalf of the Executive or (ii) the end of the sixty (60)-day period measured from such payment date. If no Penalty Tax Liability is found to be due as a result of such audit or litigation, the
reimbursement shall be paid to the Executive no later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and non-appealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation or (ii) the
end of the sixty (60)-day period measured from the date the audit is completed or the date the litigation is so settled or resolved. 
 5.
Expense Reimbursement. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, including reimbursement of attorneys
fees and fees paid by the Executive to a nationally recognized accounting firm for tax advice relating 

 
to this Agreement, provided the Executive furnishes the Company with vouchers, receipts and other details of such expenses in the form required by the
Company (“Supporting Documentation”). The Executive must submit the Supporting Documentation for each such expense within sixty (60) days after the later of (i) the Executive’s incurrence of such expense or
(ii) the Executive’s receipt of the invoice for such expense. If such expense qualifies hereunder for reimbursement, then the Company will reimburse the Executive for that expense within thirty (30) days thereafter. In no event will
more than $10,000 of expenses be reimbursed under this Section 5, and no expense shall be reimbursed under this Section 5 after the close of the calendar year following the calendar year in which that expense is incurred. 
 6. Tax Reimbursement. On the later of (i) the date the Suspension Account balance is paid to the Executive in accordance with
Section 2 or (ii) the date such incremental tax liability is paid to the appropriate tax authorities, the Company shall make an additional lump sum cash payment to the Executive to reimburse him for the incremental federal and state income
tax liability the Executive incurs for the 2008 taxable year as a direct result of the suspension of his salary pursuant to this Agreement, provided the Executive submits to the Company, on or before such date, appropriate documentation and evidence
of such incremental tax liability prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm. It is anticipated that such incremental tax liability shall not exceed $20,000 in the aggregate 
 7. Conditions to Reimbursement. The following provisions shall be in effect for any reimbursements to which the Executive otherwise becomes
under this Agreement, including (without limitation) any reimbursements provided under Sections 5 and 6, in order to assure that such reimbursements do not create a deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A of the Code:

 (i) The amount of reimbursements to which the Executive may become entitled in any one calendar year shall not affect the
amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement hereunder in any other calendar year. 
 (ii) No reimbursement to which the
Executive becomes entitled in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall be made by the Company later than the close of business of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the reimbursable expense is paid or
incurred. 
 (iii) The Executive’s right to reimbursement cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit or
payment. 
 8. Third Party Beneficiaries. The Noteholders and the Bridge Investors shall be third party beneficiaries of this
Agreement. 
 9. Miscellaneous. Except as modified by this Cash Compensation Suspension Agreement, all the terms and provisions
of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2007, between the Company and Howard C. Birndorf shall continue in full force and effect. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its duly
authorized officer, and the Executive has executed this Agreement, all as of the date first written above.

	 	RE:	LETTER AGREEMENT IN RESPECT OF BID FOR NANOGEN ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS, S.R.L. 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, by and among Nanogen, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with headquarters located at 10398 Pacific Center Court, San Diego, California 92121 (the “Company”) and the Investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”)
and (ii) the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Investor (the “Amendment and Exchange Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Amendment and Exchange Agreement, as applicable. 
 In
exchange for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and to induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Amendment and Exchange Agreement, the undersigned hereby agree
as follows: 
 1. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under any Note or any Amended Exchanged Note, then,
at the written request of the Company, the Collateral Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent or any holder of Notes or Amended Exchange Notes (a “Request”), Financière Elitech SAS, a société par actions
simplifiée formed under the laws of France (“Elitech”) shall deliver in writing a firm, binding irrevocable bid (the “Bid”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this letter agreement (this
“Agreement”) to the Company, the Collateral Agent and all Co-Collateral Agents to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock (the “Stock”) of Nanogen Advanced Diagnostics, S.r.l., a company with limited

  

	1	Separate letter to be delivered to each family of funds. 

 
liability (società a responsabilità limitata), incorporated under the laws of Italy, with its registered heaquarters in Italy, Trezzano
sul Naviglio (MI), having registered share capital of Fifty Thousand Euros (€50,000) and share capital subscribed and paid in of Fifty Thousand Euros (€50,000), registered in the Companies Registry at n. 05239350969, Italian tax payer
code n. 05239350969 (“NAD Sub”), for cash in an amount of not less than Seven Million Euros (€7.0 million) to be paid to or for the benefit of the Company, the Collateral Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, by wire
transfer of immediately available Euro funds in accordance with any applicable sale or auction procedures. Duly authorized representatives of Elitech shall execute and deliver the Bid, upon such request, regardless of whether or not the Stock is
(i) the subject of an auction or other sales process (a) under Section 363 of Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), (b) pursuant to a plan of reorganization of the Company under the
Bankruptcy Code or (c) under any other applicable law; or (ii) proposed to be sold by the Company to Elitech outside of an auction or other sales process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent there is an ongoing auction or other
sales process contemplated by (a) or (b) of the prior sentence, then a portion of the Bid may be in the form of a credit bid of any or all secured obligations then due and owing from the Company to Elitech (the “Credit
Bid”), but only if the Credit Bid portion of the Bid is valued by the Company and/or the bankruptcy court, if applicable, as, and is deemed to be the equivalent of, cash on a dollar for dollar basis; provided, however, that if
the cash portion of the Bid is less than Seven Million Euros (€7.0 million) and a competitive bid in an amount less than Seven Million Euros (€7.0 million) is determined to be a higher or better offer on the basis that it is an all cash
bid, then Elitech shall promptly amend its Bid to be an all cash Bid of not less than Seven Million Euros (€7.0 million). 
 2. Elitech
shall submit the Bid to the Company or such other person or entity as may be authorized to accept the Bid on the Company’s behalf, as soon as practicable after the Company, the Collateral Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent, or any other person or
entity authorized to do so, has requested such Bid (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such request). 
 3.

and warranties specified in paragraph 6 below, (ii) the Company’s delivery of certificates in respect of the Stock at the Closing, (iii) assuming that Elitech has satisfied its obligations in full under the Elitech Guaranty, the
receipt of documents reasonably satisfactory to Elitech evidencing the Investor’s release of any first-priority security interest relating to the Stock or the NAD Sub assets held by it, effective as of the Closing, (iv) the receipt of
documents reasonably satisfactory to Elitech demonstrating the elimination of all intercompany debts between the NAD Sub, on the one hand, and the Company and all other subsidiaries of the Company, on the other hand, effective as of the Closing, and
(v) the receipt of any required governmental approvals. Elitech’s Bid shall not be conditioned on Elitech obtaining financing, conducting due diligence or obtaining board, shareholder or any other corporate approval. The Company hereby
covenants and agrees to cause the elimination of all intercompany debts between the NAD Sub, on the one hand, and the Company and all other subsidiaries of the Company, on the other hand, effective as of the Closing. 

 4. To the extent any notice, bidding and/or sale procedures are used in connection with any auction or
other sales process referenced in paragraph 1 above, the Bid shall be subject to such procedures; provided, that the Bid shall be acceptable by the Company at any time after delivery. 
 5. Elitech shall cause the transactions contemplated by the Bid to be consummated as soon as is practicable but in any event within ten (10) days
after Elitech receives notice of acceptance of the Bid. The Bid shall remain capable of being accepted until the closing of the sale of the Stock to a third party. Once accepted, the Bid shall remain valid, binding and enforceable until the Closing.
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that if the Stock or the NAD Sub’s assets are sold to a third party, the proceeds of such sale, pursuant to the terms of the intercreditor agreement between the collateral agents for the
holders of the Notes and the Amended Exchange Notes shall be applied to pay off all then existing obligations under the Notes prior to the application of such proceeds to repay the then existing obligations under the Amended Exchanged Notes. The
parties hereto further agree, that, assuming that Elitech has satisfied its obligations in full under the Elitech Guaranty, Elitech will have the right to receive proceeds equal to any amounts that it has paid to Investors under the Elitech Guaranty
prior to the application of any proceeds from such sale to repay additional amounts due to the Investors (other than Elitech) under the Notes or any amounts outstanding under the Amended Exchanged Notes. 
 6. Elitech and the Company agree to execute a definitive purchase agreement governing the purchase of the Stock from the Company (the “Purchase
Agreement”) on an “as-is, where-is” basis on the following terms: (i) (a) customary interim operations of the business covenant in respect of NAD Sub, (b) a customary tax allocation covenant, (c) a covenant
requiring the parties to use their respective best efforts to take all actions necessary to consummate the transaction, including the receipt of all required consents or approvals, (d) the release of the security interests and the elimination
of intercompany indebtedness as set forth in paragraph 3(iii) and 3(iv) above and (e) a customary further assurances clause and (ii) the following representations and warranties made by each party: (w) the due authorization, execution
and delivery of the transaction documents, (x) the enforceability of the transaction documents, (y) no conflicts of such definitive agreement with the such party’s organizational documents, any statute, rule or regulation applicable
to the Company and any material contract of such party and (z) solely with respect to the Company, the ownership by the Company of the Stock. The Bid is not subject to the inclusion of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
or provision in the Purchase Agreement. If the Bid is accepted by the Company, Elitech agrees to execute the Purchase Agreement promptly upon the written request of the Company, the Collateral Agent and/or the Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, but
in any event within ten (10) Business Days of such request. 
 7. Elitech hereby represents and warrants that the summarized
consolidated financial information attached hereto as Exhibit I presents fairly in all material respects the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of Elitech and its subsidiaries, at the indicated dates and for
the indicated periods, but excluding financial information for Elitech’s French subsidiary Elitech France SAS. 

 8. The Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Elitech with respect to NAD
Sub as of the date hereof: (i) NAD Sub is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Italy, has all requisite power to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted;

material liability or created or assumed any lien on any material asset, except for factoring of accounts receivable under the GE credit facility, on a basis consistent with past practice, and (d) there has not been any labor dispute, other
than individual grievances, or any activity or proceeding by a labor union or representative thereof to organize any employees of NAD Sub; (vii) there is no legal action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against or
affecting NAD Sub, which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect; (viii) NAD Sub and the Company and/or subsidiaries of the Company have entered into the license, transfer price and
service agreements that are reasonably required for NAD Sub to carry on its business as now being conducted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Elitech’s obligation to make the Bid, to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Bid or to
satisfy any of its obligations under this Agreement will not be conditioned on the truth or accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties.

New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit,
action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Elitech hereby appoints Capitol Services, Inc., with offices at 1218 Central Avenue, Suite 100, Albany, New York 12205, as its
agent for service of process in New York. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. To the extent Elitech breaches any terms of this Agreement, Elitech shall pay, upon

16. Each party hereto acknowledges that, in view of the uniqueness of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other parties hereto would
not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that such other parties shall be entitled to specific enforcement of the terms hereof in
addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity, without the posting of a bond or provision of other security.

 19. All amounts denominated in currencies other than the United States Dollars shall be converted in the US dollar equivalent amount in accordance with
the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into US dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the US dollar exchange rate as published in The Wall Street
Journal on the relevant date of calculation. 
 20. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Elitech in any court in any
jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at
the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding: 
 (i) the date of actual payment of the amount due,
in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or 
 (ii) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of
which such conversion is made pursuant to this paragraph being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). 

 If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in paragraph (ii) above, there is a
