THIS CONSENT (this “Consent”) is entered into this 20th day of June, 2012, by and among RADISYS CORPORATION, an Oregon corporation (“Borrower”), and SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”).

B.Borrower (a) contemplates an amendment to certain of the notes issued pursuant to the 2013 Indenture which will, among other things, extend the maturity of, and increase the interest rate on, such notes (the “Securities Amendment”), and (b) desires that Bank consent to the Securities Amendment upon the terms and conditions more fully set forth herein.
C.Subject to the representations and warranties of Borrower herein and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Consent, Bank is willing to provide the consent contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.CONSENT TO SECURITIES AMENDMENT. Section 7.9 of the Loan Agreement prohibits amendments of the 2013 Indenture. So long as no Event of Default exists, Bank hereby consents to the Borrower’s execution, delivery and performance of a supplemental indenture agreement (the ‘Securities Amendment”) with each of Wolverine Capital and Mohican Capital to provide for the issuance of those certain 4.50% Convertible Senior Securities Due 2015 in exchange for those certain 2.75% Convertible Senior Securities Due 2013. Bank hereby agrees that the Securities Amendment shall not violate Section 7.9 and shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Event of Default under Section 8 of the Loan Agreement.
2.    BORROWER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants that:
(a)    immediately upon giving effect to this Consent (i) the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such date), and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(b)    as of the date hereof, it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under the Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Bank has acted in good faith and has conducted in a commercially reasonable manner its relationships with Borrower in connection with this Consent and in connection with the Loan Documents.
Borrower understands and acknowledges that Bank is entering into this Consent in reliance upon, and in partial consideration for, the above representations and warranties, and agrees that such reliance is reasonable and appropriate.
