Radisys Corporation (the “Company”) has entered into or expects to enter into, effective as of December 13, 2011, indemnification agreements with, among others, each member of its Board of Directors and certain executive officers . The directors, consisting of Michel Dagenais, also Chief Executive Officer, C. Scott Gibson, Richard J. Faubert, Scott C. Grout, Dr. William W. Lattin, Kevin C. Melia, Carl W. Neun, David Nierenberg, M. Niel Ransom and Lorene K. Steffes, and Brian J. Bronson, President and Chief Financial Officer, each entered into an indemnification agreement in the form attached as Exhibit 10.1. In addition, John Major, Vice President, Global Operations, Fred Barden, Vice President, Global Sales, Amit Agarwal, Vice President/General Manager, Software & Professional Services and Keate Despain, Vice President/General Manager, Platforms, each entered into an indemnification agreement in the form attached as Exhibit 10.2.

Each indemnification agreement, among other matters, requires the Company to (1) indemnify the indemnitee against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of the indemnitee's status or service as a director, officer or employee of the Company and (2) to advance the indemnitee's expenses incurred as a result of a proceeding as to which he or she may be indemnified. The indemnification agreements also contain other provisions customary for such agreements, and, pursuant to the indemnification agreements in the form attached as Exhibit 10.1, the Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide directors' and officers' liability insurance with specified coverage and to provide certain procedures and funding arrangements in the event of a change of control or potential change of control of the Company under the circumstances specified therein. The indemnification agreements are intended to provide indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, including the applicable indemnification rights statutes in the State of Oregon, and are in addition to any rights such executive officers or directors may have under the Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Restated Bylaws, as amended.

The foregoing description of the indemnification agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the forms of the indemnification agreements attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
