The Company shall, on the Closing Date, have authorized and reserved for issuance, free from any preemptive rights, a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon (A) conversion of the outstanding Debentures and Infineon Debenture (collectively, the "Investment Debentures") in full at the Conversion Price then in effect and (B) exercise of the outstanding Warrants and Infineon Warrant (collectively, the "Investment Warrants") in full at the Exercise Price then in effect, in each such case without regard to any limitation or restriction on such conversion or exercise that may be set forth in the Investment Debentures or the Investment Warrants (the "Reserved Amount"). In the event that, as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Investment Debentures or the Exercise Price for the Investment Warrants (pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments or otherwise), the Reserved Amount is less than 125% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of all of the Investment Debentures and exercise of all of the Investment Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitation or restriction on such conversion or exercise that may be set forth in the Investment Debentures or the Investment Warrants), the Company shall as soon as practicable (but in no event later than the tenth (10th) business day or, in the event that stockholder approval is required, the ninetieth (90th) day following such date) increase the Reserved Amount to no less than 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such outstanding Investment Debentures are then convertible and such outstanding Investment Warrants are Page-19 exercisable without regard to any limitation or restriction on such conversion or exercise that may be set forth in the Investment Debentures or the Investment Warrants. The Company shall not reduce the number of shares reserved for issuance hereunder without the written consent of the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities into which all of the Investment Debentures and Investment Warrants then outstanding are convertible or exercisable (without regard to any limitation on such conversion or exercise). The initial Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the Purchasers and the Purchaser (as defined in the Infineon Securities Purchase Agreement and, together with the Purchasers, the "Investors") based on the principal amount of the Investment Debentures issued to each Investor at the Closing. Any increase in the Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the principal amount of the Investment Debentures held by each by each Investor at the time of such increase. In the event any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Investor's Investment Debentures, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such transferor's Reserved Amount. Any portion of the Reserved Amount which remains allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any Investment Debentures shall be reallocated to the remaining Investors pro rata based on the principal amount of the Investment Debentures then held by such Investors. 4.4 Use of Proceeds. Subject to Section 4.6, the Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Debentures and Warrants for general corporate purposes only, in the ordinary course of its business and consistent with past practice. 4.5 No Debt, Liens. At all times following the date of this Agreement and while any Obligation is outstanding, the Company shall refrain, and shall ensure that each of its Subsidiaries refrains, from (i) other than as set forth on Schedule 4.5, incurring any Debt or increasing the amount of any existing line of credit or other Debt facility beyond the amount outstanding on the date hereof (other than, in either such case, with respect to Subordinated Debt) and (ii) other than as set forth on Schedule 4.5, granting, establishing or maintaining any Lien on any of its assets, including without limitation any pledge of securities owned or held by it (including without limitation any securities issued by any such Subsidiary), other than Permitted Liens (including the imposition of any mechanic's, tax or similar statutory lien after the Closing Date, provided that, upon the imposition of any such lien, the Company shall notify the Purchaser thereof and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such lien as soon as practicable (including without limitation contesting such lien in good faith by appropriate proceedings)). 4.6 Restricted Payments. As long as any Obligations are outstanding, the Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, make any Restricted Payments, except that: Page-20 (a) the Company may make regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest accrued on any Subordinated Debt if and to the extent (but only if and to the extent) permitted by the express terms of the Subordinated Debt Documents governing such Subordinated Debt, which terms shall have been expressly approved in writing by the holders of two-thirds of the Registrable Securities into which all of the Debentures and Warrants then outstanding are convertible or exercisable (without regard to any limitation on such conversion or exercise); and (b) Subsidiaries of the Company may make Restricted Payments to the Company; provided, however, that no Restricted Payments may be made pursuant to clause (a) or (b) preceding if a Default exists at the time of such Restricted Payment or would result therefrom. 4.7 Transactions with Affiliates. As long as any Obligations are outstanding, the Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, the purchase, sale or exchange of Property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate of the Company (other than Enhanced Memory Systems, Inc. and Mushkin Inc., to the extent that such Subsidiaries continue to be reported with the Company on a consolidated basis) except with the prior written approval of the holders of two-thirds of the Registrable Securities into which all of the Debentures and Warrants then outstanding are convertible or exercisable (without regard to any limitation on such conversion or exercise). 4.8 Disposition of Property. As long as any Obligations are outstanding, the Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its Property, except (i) dispositions of inventory by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, (ii) expenditures of money (including, without limitation, money held in deposit accounts) made in the ordinary course of business or for the purpose of making Restricted Payments expressly permitted in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) licenses granted and development agreements entered into with respect to its Intellectual Property to third parties. 4.9 Certain Transactions. As long as any Obligations are outstanding, and except as may be expressly permitted or required by the Transaction Documents, the Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to (a) pay dividends or make any other distribution to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in respect of capital stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, (b) pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (c) make any loan or advance or capital contribution to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (d) sell, lease or transfer any of its Property to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or (e) grant a Lien on any of its Properties. Page-21 4.10 Modification of Certain Agreements. As long as any Obligations are outstanding, the Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consent to or implement any termination, amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of (a) the certificate or articles of incorporation, articles of organization, bylaws, regulations or other constitutional documents of the Company or any such Subsidiary or (b) any Material Contract to which it is a party; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any of such documents may be amended or modified if and to the extent that such amendment or modification is not materially adverse to the Company or any Purchaser. 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. The Company agrees that any transaction or arrangement between it or any of its Subsidiaries and any Affiliate or employee of the Company shall be effected on an arms' length basis and shall be approved by a majority of the Company's independent directors (provided that the director designated by Infineon shall be deemed to be an independent director for purposes of this Section 4.11). 4.12 Quotation on Nasdaq. The Company shall (i) promptly following the Closing, take such action as may be necessary to include all of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares that may be issued by the Company under the Debentures and Warrants on the Nasdaq National Market, and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the designation and quotation, or listing, of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the New York Stock Exchange for a minimum of five (5) years following the Closing Date. 4.13 Management Restrictions. During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), no Key Employee may, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (whether through the writing or purchase of options, futures or derivative instruments), or publicly announce (whether through the filing of a notice or otherwise) such individual's intention to dispose of, any Common Stock held or beneficially owned by such individual. 4.14 Use of Purchaser Name. Except as may be required by applicable law, the Company shall not use, directly or indirectly, any Purchaser's name or the name of any of its affiliates in any advertisement, announcement, press release or other similar communication unless it has received the prior written consent of any Purchaser for the specific use contemplated or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation. 4.15 Company's Instructions to Transfer Agent. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall execute and deliver irrevocable written instructions to the transfer agent for its Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"), and provide each Purchaser with a copy thereof, directing the Transfer Agent (i) to issue certificates representing Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Debentures and receipt of a valid Conversion Notice (as defined in the Debentures) from a Purchaser, in the amount specified in such Conversion Notice, in the name of Page-22 such Purchaser or its nominee, (ii) to issue certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and (iii) to deliver such certificates to such Purchaser no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) business day following the related Conversion Date (as defined in the Debentures) or Exercise Date (as defined in the Warrants), as the case may be. Such certificates may bear legends pursuant to applicable provisions of this Agreement or applicable law. As long as the Company shall instruct the transfer agent that, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing shares of Common Stock to a Purchaser upon conversion of the Debentures, or exercise of the Warrants, and as long as the Transfer Agent is a participant in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and such Purchaser has not informed the Company that it wishes to receive physical certificates therefor, and no legend is required to appear on any physical certificate if issued, the transfer agent may effect delivery of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, by crediting the account of such Purchaser or its nominee at DTC for the number of shares for which delivery is required hereunder within the time frame specified above for delivery of certificates. The Company represents to and agrees with each Purchaser that it will not give any instruction to the Transfer Agent that will conflict with the foregoing instruction or otherwise restrict such Purchaser's right to convert the Debentures or to receive Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Debentures or to exercise the Warrant or to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. In the event that the Company's relationship with the Transfer Agent should be terminated for any reason, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to continue acting as transfer agent pursuant to the terms hereof until such time that a successor transfer agent is appointed by the Company and receives the instructions described above. 4.16 Right of First Refusal. Prior to any offer or sale by the Company of Common Stock (or any securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for Common Stock) during the one (1) year period following the Closing Date (the "First Offer Period"), the Company must first deliver to each Purchaser written notice describing the proposed issuance, including the terms and conditions thereof, and provide such Purchaser with an option during the five (5) Business Day period following delivery of such notice to purchase up to its proportionate share (based on the principal amount of the Debentures purchased by such Purchaser hereunder relative to the aggregate principal amount of the Investment Debentures purchased by all of the Investors) of the securities being offered on the same terms as contemplated by such issuance. In the event that such Purchaser either does not give notice within such five Business Day period that it intends to exercise the foregoing option or informs the Company in writing that it does not intend to participate in such issuance, the Company may offer to a third party the option to purchase up to, in the aggregate, the amount of securities which were declined by such Purchaser, on the same terms as were offered to such Purchaser. The Right of First Refusal is subject to (and shall follow the exercise of) the rights of Infineon under the Share Purchase Agreement, dated December 14, 2000, by and between Infineon and the Company and shall not apply to any transaction involving the issuance of Common Stock in a firm-commitment underwritten Page-23 registered public offering or pursuant to the exercise of any option or warrant outstanding prior to the date hereof or to the issuance of Common Stock, or options or rights exercisable into Common Stock, pursuant to a stock plan or stock option plan duly adopted by the Company prior to the date hereof. 4.17 No Adverse Action. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall refrain, while any Debentures are outstanding, from taking any action or entering into any arrangement which in any way materially and adversely affects (i) the rights, privileges or benefits available to a holder of a Debenture or (ii) the rights, privileges or benefits available to a holder of a Warrant. 4.18 Registration Rights. From the date of this Agreement through and including the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company will not file a registration statement (other than on a Form S-8 or a Form S-4 and pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) with the Commission with respect to any securities of the Company; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) Infineon from exercising its rights under the Infineon Registration Rights Agreement to include shares of Common Stock for resale in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) any entity named on Schedule 3.14 from including shares of Common Stock issuable to such entity pursuant to warrants issued in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 5.

Subject to the limitations contained in this Section, the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, stockholders, employees and agents from and against any and all Claims and Liabilities with respect to or arising from (i) the breach of any warranty or any inaccuracy of any representation made by the Company in this Agreement, or (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement. 6.3 Limitations on Indemnification. 6.3.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Purchasers, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, shall indemnify the other, as applicable, or any of their respective subsidiaries or any directors, officers, employees or agents of any of the foregoing, as applicable, for any Claims and Liabilities which such party(ies) would otherwise be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, unless the aggregate amount of all such Claims and Liabilities incurred by such party(ies) exceeds $100,000 (the "Deductible Amount"), in which event such party(ies) shall be liable only for the amount of such Claims and Liabilities which exceeds the Deductible Amount; provided, that the aggregate liability of the Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, under this Section (other than with respect to any intentional or willful breach or failure to perform) shall in no event exceed $5,000,000. 6.3.2 Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Purchasers, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, shall indemnify the other, as applicable, or any of their respective subsidiaries or any directors, officers, employees or agents of any of the foregoing, as applicable, in respect of any Claims and Liabilities which are covered by insurance owned by such party(ies) to the extent that any net loss is reduced by such insurance. To the extent quantifiable, the parties shall make appropriate adjustments to take into account the tax benefits or costs in determining the amount of indemnification to be provided hereunder. Page-27 6.4 Claims Procedure. In respect of any third-party claims for which indemnification is sought hereunder, promptly after the receipt by any indemnified party (the "Indemnitee") of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") pursuant to this Section, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding and give such Indemnifying Party a copy of such claim and/or process and all legal pleadings in connection therewith. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Section 6, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have, upon request within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, but not in any event after the settlement or compromise of such claim, the right to defend, at his or its own expense and by his or its own counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitee, such Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise of, any such asserted liability, and in cases where the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee's own expense. In the event that such Indemnifying Party shall decline to participate in or assume the defense of such action, prior to paying or settling any claim against which such Indemnifying Party is, or may be, obligated under this Section to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall first supply such Indemnifying Party with a copy of a final court judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such claim or, failing such judgment or decree, the terms and conditions of the settlement or compromise of such claim. An Indemnity's failure to supply such final court judgment or decree or the terms and conditions of a settlement or compromise to such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Section 6, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnitee is defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnitee shall have the right to settle or compromise any claim against it after consultation with, but without the prior approval of, any Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such settlement or compromise shall not, unless consented to in writing by such Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, be conclusive as to the liability of such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party is defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle the claim only with the consent of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee shall fail to consent to the settlement of such a claim by the Indemnifying Party, which settlement (i) the claimant has indicated it will accept, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee and its affiliates by the claimant and imposes no material restrictions on the future activities of the Indemnitee and its affiliates, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any payment required to be made to such claimant in respect of such claim in excess of the proposed amount of settlement. Page-28 6.5 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any payments pursuant to this Section shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 6.6 Exclusive Remedy. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, its sole and exclusive monetary remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section, except that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of (A) any injunctive or other equitable remedies or (B) any tort claims of, or causes of action arising from, intentional or fraudulent misrepresentation or deceit; provided, however, none of the foregoing shall be deemed to limit in any way the rights of a Purchaser or the obligations of the Company under the Deed of Trust. 7. MISCELLANEOUS. 7.1 Survival; Severability. The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the parties herein shall survive the Closing notwithstanding any due diligence investigation made by or on behalf of the party seeking to rely thereon. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal, unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change the economic benefits of this Agreement to the parties. 7.2 Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder, in connection with any private sale or transfer of a Debenture or Warrant (or part thereof) in accordance with the terms hereof, as long as, as a condition precedent to such transfer, the transferee executes an acknowledgment agreeing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement, in which case the term "Purchaser" shall be deemed to refer to such transferee as though such transferee were an original signatory hereto. The Company may not assign it rights or obligations under this Agreement. 7.3 No Reliance. Each party acknowledges that (i) it has such knowledge in business and financial matters as to be fully capable of evaluating this Agreement, the other Purchaser Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) it is not relying on any advice or representation of any other party in connection with entering into this Agreement, the other Purchaser Documents or such transactions (other than the representations made in this Agreement or the other Purchaser Documents), (iii) it has not received Page-29 from such party any assurance or guarantee as to the merits (whether legal, regulatory, tax, financial or otherwise) of entering into this Agreement or the other Purchaser Documents or the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and (iv) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and has entered into this Agreement and the other Purchaser Documents based on its own independent judgment and on the advice of its advisors as it has deemed necessary, and not on any view (whether written or oral) expressed by such other party. 7.4 Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of the other Purchasers hereunder, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at the Closing, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Purchaser Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 7.5 Injunctive Relief. The Company acknowledges and agrees that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Purchaser and that the remedy or remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all other available remedies, such Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate and specific performance of such obligations without the necessity of showing economic loss. 7.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of 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. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Page-30 7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 7.8 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. 7.9 Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or a Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows: If to the Company: Ramtron International Corporation 1850 Ramtron Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Attn: LuAnn D.

CONVERSION. (a) Right to Convert. Subject to the conditions and limitations specifically provided herein, the Holder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time after the Issue Date, (i) all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Debenture and (ii) all accrued and unpaid Interest hereon, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares as is determined in accordance with the terms hereof (a "Conversion"). (b) Conversion Notice. In order to convert the principal of this Debenture, the Holder shall send by facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 7:00 p.m., eastern time, on the Business Day on which the Holder wishes to effect such Conversion (the "Conversion Date"), a notice of conversion to the Corporation, in the form set forth on Annex I hereto, stating the amount of principal to be converted and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion (a "Conversion Notice"). The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Corporation in order to effect a Conversion. The Corporation shall maintain a record showing, at any given time, the unpaid principal amount of this Debenture and the date of each Conversion or other payment of principal hereof. The Holder shall amend Annex II hereto upon any such Conversion or payment of principal to reflect the unpaid principal amount hereof. In the case of a dispute as to the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion (including without limitation as a result of adjustments to the Conversion Price made in Page A-6 accordance with Section 4 below), the Corporation shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed and shall submit the disputed calculations to its independent accountants of national recognition within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Holder's Conversion Notice. The Corporation shall cause such accountants to calculate the Conversion Price as provided herein and to notify the Corporation and the Holder of the results in writing no later than two (2) Business Days following the day on which such accountant received the disputed calculations (the "Dispute Procedure"). Such accountant's calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The fees of any such accountant shall be borne by the party whose calculations are most at variance with those of such accountant. (c) Number of Conversion Shares; Conversion Price. The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Corporation pursuant to a Conversion shall be equal to the principal amount of this Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price. (d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall, no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the Conversion Date set forth in such Conversion Notice (the "Delivery Date"), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 3(c) above, provided, however, that any Conversion Shares that are the subject of a Dispute Procedure shall be delivered no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the determination made pursuant thereto. Such certificates may bear legends pursuant to applicable provisions of this Agreement or applicable law. The Corporation shall effect delivery of Conversion Shares to the Holder, as long as the Corporation's designated transfer agent or co-transfer agent in the United States for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") participates in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program ("FAST"), and no legend is required to appear on any physical certificate if issued, by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee at DTC (as specified in the applicable Conversion Notice) with the number of Conversion Shares required to be delivered, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. In the event that the Transfer Agent is not a participant in FAST or if the Holder so specifies in a Conversion Notice or otherwise in writing on or before the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall effect delivery of Conversion Shares by delivering to the Holder or its nominee physical certificates representing such Conversion Shares, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. If any Conversion would create a fractional Conversion Share, such fractional Conversion Share shall be disregarded and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such Conversion, in the aggregate, shall be the next higher whole number of Conversion Shares. Conversion Shares delivered to the Holder shall not contain any restrictive legend unless such legend is required pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement or applicable law. Page A-7 (e) Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. In the event that the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares specified in a Conversion Notice (without any restrictive legend to the extent permitted by the terms hereof or pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement) on or before the Delivery Date therefor (a "Conversion Default"), the Holder shall have the following rights: (A) the right to receive from the Corporation an amount equal to (i) (N/365) multiplied by (ii) the principal amount of, and Interest accrued on, this Debenture represented by the Conversion Shares (such amount, the "Conversion Default Amount") which remain the subject of such Conversion Default multiplied by (iii) the Default Interest Rate, where "N" equals the number of days elapsed between the original Delivery Date of such Conversion Shares and the date on which such Conversion Default has been cured; and, at the Holder's option, either of the following: (B) (1) the right to receive from the Corporation an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount paid by the Holder for shares of Common Stock purchased by the Holder in order to make delivery on a sale effected in anticipation of receiving Conversion Shares upon such Conversion minus (ii) the aggregate amount of net proceeds, if any, received by the Holder from the sale of the Conversion Shares issued by the Corporation pursuant to such Conversion; or (B) (2) the right to require the Corporation to reinstate the principal of this Debenture in an aggregate amount equal to the Conversion Default Amount and deem the conversion resulting in such Conversion Default rescinded, null and void. In addition to its right to receive the foregoing amounts, the Holder shall have the right to pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Amounts payable under this paragraph (e) shall be paid to the Holder in immediately available funds on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following written notice from the Holder to the Corporation specifying the amount owed to it by the Corporation pursuant to this paragraph (e). Page A-8 (f) Limitations on Right to Convert. In no event shall the Holder be permitted to convert principal of this Debenture in excess of that amount upon the Conversion of which (x) the number of Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to such Conversion plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder (other than Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned except for being subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this paragraph (f)) would exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Holder to convert such excess principal amount at such time as such Conversion will not violate the provisions of this paragraph (f). As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph (f) applies (and without limiting any rights the Corporation may otherwise have), the Corporation may rely on the Holder's determination of whether this Debenture is convertible pursuant to the terms hereof, the Corporation having no obligation whatsoever to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination, and the submission of a Conversion Notice by the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder's representation that this Debenture is convertible pursuant to the terms hereof. The holders of Common Stock are to be deemed third-party beneficiaries of the limitation imposed hereby and, accordingly, this paragraph may not be amended without the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not apply to any determination of the amount owed or securities to which the Holder is entitled to receive in the event of a Change of Control Transaction or Liquidation Event. 4. ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE. (a) Adjustment to Conversion Price Due to Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Dilutive Issuance. If, prior to the Conversion of all of the principal amount of this Debenture, or payment in full of all amounts payable by the Corporation hereunder, (A) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, a reclassification of the Common Stock, or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, which reduction shall be effected at the time such event takes place; (B) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased, which increase shall be effected at the time such event takes place; (C) the number of shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on the Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, which reduction shall be effected on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock to receive such dividend; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made Page A-9 on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(a) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend; (D) the Corporation issues Common Stock, whether upon the exercise of rights, warrants, securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into or for Common Stock, or rights to purchase or receive shares of Common Stock (collectively, "Convertible Securities") or otherwise, at a price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such lower price; (E) the Corporation issues Convertible Securities, and such Convertible Securities have a conversion price, exercise price or exchange ratio that is lower than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance, or if the conversion price, exercise price or exchange ratio of any Convertible Security (whether issued before or after the Closing Date) is at any time lowered pursuant to "reset", anti-dilution or similar provisions to a price that is lower than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such lower price; or (F) the Corporation (x) issues Common Stock, whether upon the exercise of Convertible Securities or otherwise, at a price per share, or (y) issues Convertible Securities, and such Convertible Securities have a conversion price, exercise price or exchange ratio, that is lower than the Market Price in effect on the date of such issuance (but not lower than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance, in which case the provisions of clause (D) or (E) above, as applicable, will apply) (a "Dilutive Issuance"), the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance shall be adjusted downward to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance (excluding any shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation), plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation upon such Dilutive Issuance divided by the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance. "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding excluding (I) any shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation but including (II) in the case where the Dilutive Issuance comprises Convertible Securities, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Convertible Securities for which the adjustment is required. Page A-10 (b) Adjustment to Conversion Price During Reference Period. If, prior to the Conversion of all of the principal amount of this Debenture, or payment in full of all amounts payable by the Corporation hereunder, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased by a stock split, a stock dividend on the Common Stock, a combination, a reclassification of the Common Stock or other similar event, and such event takes place during the reference period for the determination of the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be calculated giving appropriate effect to the stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar event for all Trading Days occurring during such reference period. (c) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, prior to the Conversion of the entire principal amount of this Debenture, or payment in full of all amounts payable by the Corporation hereunder, there shall be any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender offer, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, redemption or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Corporation or another entity (an "Exchange Transaction"), then (A) the Holder shall have the right to receive, with respect to any shares of Common Stock then held by the Holder, or which the Holder is then entitled to receive pursuant to a Conversion Notice previously delivered by the Holder (and without regard to whether such shares contain a restrictive legend or are freely-tradable), the same amount and type of consideration (including without limitation, stock, securities and/or other assets) and on the same terms as the Holder of shares of Common Stock would be entitled to receive in connection with the consummation of such Exchange Transaction (the "Exchange Consideration"), (B) the Holder shall have the right to exchange all or part of this Debenture for the Exchange Consideration, on the same terms as the Holder of shares of Common Stock would be entitled to receive in connection with the consummation of such Exchange Transaction, in an amount that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Debenture been converted immediately prior to such Exchange Transaction at the Conversion Price then in effect (without giving effect to any limitations on such Conversion contained herein or otherwise), and (C) to the extent that the Holder has not exercised its right under clause (B) to exchange this Debenture for the Exchange Consideration, upon the Conversion of this Debenture occurring after consummation of such Exchange Transaction (a "Subsequent Conversion"), the Holder shall have the right to receive the Exchange Consideration which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in connection with such Exchange Transaction had this Debenture been converted immediately prior to such Exchange Transaction at the Conversion Price applicable to such Subsequent Conversion, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be practicable in relation Page A-11 to any securities thereafter deliverable upon the Conversion of this Debenture. The Corporation shall not effect any Exchange Transaction unless the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Corporation) assumes by written instrument the obligations of the Corporation hereunder, including the terms of this subparagraph 4(c), and under the Purchase Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement. (d) Distribution of Assets. If, prior to the Conversion of the entire principal amount of this Debenture, or payment in full of all amounts payable by the Corporation hereunder, the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall declare or make any distribution of cash, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets, or any rights to acquire any of the foregoing, to holders of Common Stock (or to the holder, other than the Corporation, of the common stock of any such subsidiary), including any dividend or distribution in shares of capital stock of a subsidiary of the Corporation (collectively, a "Distribution"), the Corporation shall give the Holder written notice of such Distribution at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date therefor, and the Holder shall have the option of either (A) receiving from the Corporation the assets that are the subject of such Distribution at the same time that the Corporation distributes such assets to the holders of Common Stock (or to the holders of the common stock of any such subsidiary), in which case the Holder shall be entitled to receive such assets in an amount equal to the amount of such assets that the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture is convertible on the record date for such Distribution would be entitled to receive (such number to be determined using the Conversion Price in effect on such record date and without regard to any restriction or limitation on such conversion that might otherwise exist) or (B) for any Conversion occurring after the record date for such Distribution, requiring the Corporation to reduce the Conversion Price by an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets so distributed with respect to each share of Common Stock, such fair market value to be determined by an investment banking firm selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, with the cost of such determination to be borne by the Corporation. (e) Adjustment Due to Major Announcement. If, prior to the Conversion of the entire principal amount of this Debenture, or payment in full of all amounts payable by the Corporation hereunder, the Corporation (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to enter into a Change of Control Transaction or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Corporation) publicly announces a tender offer, exchange offer or other transaction to purchase 50% or more of the Common Stock (each such announcement being referred to herein as a "Major Announcement" and the date on which a Major Announcement is made, the "Announcement Date"), then, in the event that the Holder seeks to convert this Debenture on or following the Announcement Date, the Conversion Price Page A-12 shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the third (3rd) Business Day following the earlier to occur of the consummation of the proposed transaction or tender offer, exchange offer or other transaction and the Abandonment Date (as defined below), be equal to the lowest of (x) the Market Price for the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding (but not including) the Announcement Date, (y) the average Closing Bid Price for the Common Stock on the three (3) Trading Days immediately following (but not including) the Announcement Date and (z) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date. "Abandonment Date" means with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer, exchange offer or other transaction for which a public announcement as contemplated by this paragraph 4(e) has been made, the date upon which the Corporation (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer, exchange offer or another transaction which caused this paragraph 4(e) to become operative. (f) Adjustment Pursuant to Other Agreements. In addition to and without limiting in any way the adjustments provided in this Section 4, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as may be required by the applicable provisions, if any, of the Purchase Agreement and/or the Registration Rights Agreement. (g) No Fractional Shares. If any adjustment under this Section 4 would create a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion shall be the next higher whole number of shares. (h) Exceptions to Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made pursuant to this Section 4, (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities granted, issued and outstanding on the Closing Date (except in the case where the price at which such warrant, option or security is exercised has decreased since the Closing Date as a result of a reset, anti-dilutive adjustment or similar occurrence); (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit plan, stock option plan or restricted stock plan of the Corporation now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; (iii) upon the exercise of the Warrants or the conversion of the Debentures; (iv) upon the issuance of securities pursuant to a firm-commitment, fixed-price underwritten offering (which shall not include equity lines of credit or similar transactions); and (v) upon the issuance of securities in connection with a strategic investment made by the Corporation or a third party, the primary purpose of which is not the raising of equity capital. Page A-13 5. MANDATORY CONVERSION. (a) Mandatory Conversion. The Corporation shall have the right, upon the satisfaction (or waiver by the Holder) of each of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (each as defined below), to require conversion of this Debenture (a "Mandatory Conversion"). In the event of a Mandatory Conversion, the Corporation and the Holder shall follow the procedures for Conversion set forth in Section 3 above, with the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) deemed to be the Conversion Date for purposes hereof, except that the Holder shall not be required to send a Conversion Notice as contemplated by paragraph (b) of Section 3.

Notwithstanding the delivery by the Corporation of a Mandatory Conversion Notice, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way (i) the right of the Holder to convert this Debenture prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date or (ii) the availability of any and all remedies that are provided to the Holder hereunder, including without limitation in the event that the Corporation fails to deliver Conversion Shares upon a Mandatory Conversion as required by the terms of Section 3 hereof. (c) Mandatory Conversion Conditions. The Mandatory Conversion Conditions are as follows: (i) at least eighteen (18) months shall have elapsed since the Issue Date; (ii) VWAP shall have been greater than the Conversion Price as of the Issue Date (as such Conversion Price may have been adjusted in accordance with clause (A), (B) or (C) of paragraph 4(a), but without giving effect, solely for the purposes of this paragraph (c)(ii), to any adjustment required or permitted by any other provision of Section 4 hereof) by at least two hundred percent (200%) for at least twenty (20) Trading Days during any period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days occurring after the seventeen (17) month anniversary of the Issue Date; (iii) the Corporation shall have authorized and reserved for issuance the number of shares of Common Stock required to be reserved under paragraph 4.5 of the Purchase Agreement, and shall have provided the Holder with reasonable evidence thereof; Page A-14 (iv) the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective and shall have been available to the Holder at all times since its effectiveness (except during an Allowed Delay (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), unless such Allowed Delay occurs during the period between the date of the Mandatory Conversion Notice and the Mandatory Conversion Date), and shall cover the resale by the Holder of the number of Registrable Securities required by the Registration Rights Agreement (including without limitation all Conversion Shares to be issued on the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date); (v) the Common Stock shall have been listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange at all times following the Issue Date and trading in the Common Stock on such market or exchange shall not have been suspended at any time following the Issue Date for more than three (3) consecutive Business Days; (vi) an Event of Default (as defined below), or an event that with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall not have occurred and be continuing as of the Mandatory Conversion Date or as of the date of the Mandatory Conversion Notice; and (vii) the conversion of this Debenture pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion would not violate the provisions of Section 3(f) hereof. 6.

Upon receipt by the Holder of any EBITDA Certificate, the Holder may, within five (5) Business Days after the date of receiving such EBITDA Certificate (the "EBITDA Review Period"), deliver to the Corporation an objection notice setting forth the Holder's objections to the EBIDTA calculations set forth in such EBITDA Certificate together with a summary of the reasons for such objections (each such notice delivered by the Holder, an "EBITDA Objection Notice"). With respect to any EBITDA Certificate, if the Holder does not deliver an EBITDA Objection Notice within the applicable EBITDA Review Period, such EBITDA Certificate shall be final and binding. Page A-18 (ii) If, with respect to an EBITDA Certificate, the Holder delivers an EBITDA Objection Notice to the Corporation within the applicable EBITDA Review Period, the Corporation and the Holder shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve the objections described in such EBITDA Objection Notice within five (5) Business Days by written agreement (the "EBITDA Adjustments") and, if the Holder and the Corporation so resolve any such differences, the EBITDA Certificate in question, as adjusted pursuant to the EBITDA Adjustments, shall be final and binding. (iii) If any objections raised by the Holder in an EBITDA Objection Notice are not resolved by EBITDA Adjustments within five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Corporation of an EBITDA Objection Notice, then the Holder shall submit the objections that are then unresolved to a national accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Corporation (such firm, the "Accounting Firm"), and shall direct the Accounting Firm to: (x) resolve the unresolved objections (based solely on the presentations by the Corporation and the Holder and in accordance with GAAP) as promptly as reasonably practicable and (y) deliver written notice to each of the Corporation and the Holder setting forth its resolution of the disputed matters. The EBITDA Certificate in question, after giving effect to any EBITDA Adjustments and to the resolution of disputed matters by the Accounting Firm, shall be final and binding. (iv) The Corporation shall make available to the Holder and, if applicable, the Accounting Firm, such books, records and other information (including work papers) as any of the foregoing may reasonably request to prepare or review any EBITDA Certificate or any matters submitted to the Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm hereunder shall be borne by the party whose calculations were most at variance with those of the Accounting Firm. 7. PRIORITY ON LIQUIDATION. (a) In the event of (x) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to the Corporation or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (y) the dissolution or other winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or (z) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of the material assets or material liabilities of the Corporation (each a "Liquidation Event"), then, and in any such event, the Holder of this Debenture shall first be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal of, and all Interest and other amounts due or to become due on, this Debenture before any Page A-19 payment on account of principal, premium, if any, interest, dividends or any other amounts is made on any Debt of the Corporation or Junior Securities, whether on account of any purchase, exchange or redemption or other acquisition of such Debt or Junior Securities, at maturity or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Debenture shall rank pari passu with the Infineon Debenture.

MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Failure to Exercise Rights not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof. All rights and remedies of the Holder hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available. (b) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Corporation or the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Debenture shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows: If to the Corporation: Ramtron International Corporation 1850 Ramtron Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Attn: LuAnn D.

Warrant to Purchase Issue Date: ------------- XXXXXXX Shares WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK of RAMTRON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION THIS CERTIFIES that ------------------ or any subsequent holder hereof (the "Holder"), has the right to purchase from RAMTRON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), up to XXXXXX fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price (as defined below), at any time beginning on the date on which this Warrant is issued (the "Issue Date") and ending at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on the date that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Issue Date (the "Expiration Date"). This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2002, between the Company and the Holder (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 1. Exercise. (a) Right to Exercise; Exercise Price. The Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant at any time and from time to time during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration Date as to all or any part of the shares of Common Stock covered hereby (the "Warrant Shares"). The "Exercise Price" payable by the Holder in connection with the exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $XXX. (b) Exercise Notice. In order to exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall send by facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 7:00 p.m., eastern time, on the Business Day on which the Holder wishes to effect such exercise (the "Exercise Date"), to the Company and to its designated transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") Page B-1 a copy of the notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice") stating the number of Warrant Shares as to which such exercise applies and the calculation therefor. The Holder shall thereafter deliver to the Company the original Exercise Notice, the original Warrant and, in the case of a Cash Exercise (as defined below), the Exercise Price. In the case of a dispute as to the calculation of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder (including, without limitation, the calculation of any adjustment pursuant to Section 6 below), the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and shall submit the disputed calculations to the Company's independent accountant of national recognition within two (2) Business Days following the date on which the Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company shall cause such accountant to calculate the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder and to notify the Company and the Holder of the results in writing no later than two (2) Business Days following the day on which such accountant received the disputed calculations (the "Dispute Procedure"). Such accountant's calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The fees of any such accountant shall be borne by the party whose calculations were most at variance with those of such accountant. (c) Holder of Record. The Holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares specified in an Exercise Notice on the Exercise Date specified therein, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Warrant Shares. Except as specifically provided herein, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the Exercise Date. (d) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon its exercise and, if this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time that it delivers Warrant Shares to the Holder pursuant to such exercise as provided herein, issue a new warrant, and deliver to the Holder a certificate representing such new warrant, with terms identical in all respects to this Warrant (except that such new warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant shall remain unexercised); provided, however, that the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all or any portion of such new warrant at any time following the time at which this Warrant is exercised, regardless of whether the Company has actually issued such new warrant or delivered to the Holder a certificate therefor. Page B-2 2. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Upon receipt of an Exercise Notice pursuant to paragraph 1 above, the Company shall, (A) in the case of a Cashless Exercise (as defined below), no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the Exercise Date set forth in such Exercise Notice, (B) in the case of a Cash Exercise (as defined below) no later than the close of business on the later to occur of (i) the third (3rd) Business Day following the Exercise Date set forth in such Exercise Notice and (ii) such later date on which the Company shall have received payment of the Exercise Price, and (C) with respect to Warrant Shares which are the subject of a Dispute Procedure, the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the determination made pursuant to paragraph 1(b) (the "Delivery Date"), issue and deliver or caused to be delivered to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares as shall be determined as provided herein. The Company shall effect delivery of Warrant Shares to the Holder by, as long as the Transfer Agent participates in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program ("FAST"), crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee at DTC (as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice) with the number of Warrant Shares required to be delivered, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. In the event that the Transfer Agent is not a participant in FAST, or if the Warrant Shares are not otherwise eligible for delivery through FAST, or if the Holder so specifies in an Exercise Notice or otherwise in writing on or before the Exercise Date, the Company shall effect delivery of Warrant Shares by delivering to the Holder or its nominee physical certificates representing such Warrant Shares, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. Warrant Shares delivered to the Holder shall not contain any restrictive legend as long as (x) the resale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of such shares is covered by an effective registration statement, (y) such shares have been publicly sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (z) such shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k), or any successor rule or provision. 3. Failure to Deliver Warrant Shares. In the event that the Holder has not received certificates (without any restrictive legend in the circumstances described in clause (x), (y) or (z) of paragraph 2 above) representing the number of Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Exercise Notice on or before the Delivery Date therefor (an "Exercise Default"), the Holder shall have the following rights: (a) the right to receive from the Corporation an amount equal to (i) (N/365) multiplied by (ii) the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares which are the subject of such Exercise Default (such amount, the "Exercise Default Amount") multiplied by (iii) twenty four percent (24%), where "N" equals the number of days elapsed between the Delivery Date and the date on which such Exercise Default has been cured; and, at the Holder's option, either of the following (b) (1) the right to receive from the Corporation an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount paid by the Holder for shares of Common Stock purchased by the Holder in order to make delivery on a sale effected in anticipation of receiving Warrant Shares upon such exercise minus (B) the aggregate Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares; or Page B-3 (b) (2) the right to require the Corporation to reinstate the Warrant by an amount equal to the Exercise Default Amount and deem the exercise resulting in such Exercise Default rescinded, null and void. In addition to its right to receive the foregoing amounts, the Holder shall have the right to pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Amounts payable under this paragraph 3 shall be paid to the Holder in immediately available funds on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following written notice from the Holder to the Company specifying the amount owed to it by the Company pursuant to this paragraph 3. 4. Exercise Limitations. In no event shall the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant, or part thereof, with respect to Warrant Shares in excess of the number of such shares, upon the issuance of which, (x) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder (other than shares which would otherwise be deemed beneficially owned except for being subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this paragraph 4) plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise would be equal to or exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph 4 applies, the submission of an Exercise Notice by the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder's representation that this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof and the Company shall be entitled to rely on such representation without making any further inquiry as to whether this Section 4 applies. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a Holder to exercise this Warrant, or part thereof, at such time as such exercise will not violate the provisions of this Section 4. 5. Payment of the Exercise Price; Cashless Exercise. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in either of the following forms or, at the election of Holder, a combination thereof: (a) through a cash exercise (a "Cash Exercise") by delivering immediately available funds, or (b) if all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder are not then eligible for resale pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, through a cashless exercise (a "Cashless Exercise") by surrendering this Warrant to the Company and noting on the Exercise Notice that the Holder wishes to effect a Cashless Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows: Page B-4 X = Y x (A-B)/A where: X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder; Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised; A = the Market Price (as defined in the Debenture) on the Exercise Date; and B = the Exercise Price. For purposes of Rule 144, it is intended and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares required by Rule 144 shall be deemed to have been commenced, on the Issue Date. 6. Anti-Dilution Adjustments; Distributions; Other Events. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 6. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares as required herein results in a fraction of a cent or fraction of a share, as applicable, such Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent or share, as applicable. (a) Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Certain Issuances of Common Stock. In the event that the Company (A) issues Common Stock, whether upon the exercise of rights, warrants, securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock ("Convertible Securities")or otherwise, at a price per share that is lower than the Exercise Price then in effect, or (B) issues Convertible Securities with a conversion price, exercise price or exchange ratio, that is lower than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to such lower price. In the event that the Company (A) issues Common Stock, whether upon the exercise of Convertible Securities or otherwise, or (B) issues Convertible Securities with a conversion price, exercise price or exchange ratio, in the case of either (A) or (B), that is lower than the Market Price (but not lower than the Exercise Price, in which case the immediately preceding sentence shall apply), the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of outstanding (not including any shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company) immediately prior to the such issuance, plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration (if any) received by the Company upon such issuance divided by the Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issuance. "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" shall mean the number of Page B-5 shares of Common Stock actually outstanding excluding any shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but which shall include, in the case where any such issuance comprises the issuance of Convertible Securities, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Convertible Securities for which the adjustment is required. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to this paragraph (a) upon the actual issuance of Common Stock pursuant to such Convertible Securities, unless the price at which such issuance is effected is less than the price used to make such adjustment, in which case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as though such lesser price had been in effect as of the date on which such Convertible Securities were issued. (b) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time after the Issue Date, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionally increased. (c) Distributions. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall at any time distribute to holders of Common Stock (or to a holder, other than the Company, of the common stock of any such Subsidiary) cash, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets including any dividend or distribution in shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company (collectively, a "Distribution") then, in any such case, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive, at the same time as such assets are received by a holder of such stock, at the option of the Holder, (A) an amount and type of such Distribution as though the Holder were a holder on the record date therefor of a number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable as of such record date (such number of shares to be determined at the Exercise Price then in effect and without regard to any limitation on exercise of this Warrant that may exist pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise) and (B) a reduction in the Exercise Price as of the record date for such Distribution, such reduction to be effected by reducing the Exercise Price in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding such record date by an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets so distributed divided by the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Distribution is made, such fair market value to be reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. Page B-6 (d) Major Transactions. In the event of a merger, consolidation, business combination, tender offer, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, redemption or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its assets (each of the foregoing being a "Major Transaction"), then the holder of this Warrant may, at its option, either (a) in the event that the Common Stock remains outstanding or holders of Common Stock receive any common stock or substantially similar equity interest, in each of the foregoing cases which is publicly traded, retain this Warrant and this Warrant shall continue to apply to such Common Stock or shall apply, as nearly as practicable, to such other common stock or equity interest, as the case may be, or (b) receive consideration, in exchange for this Warrant upon the surrender thereof (without payment of any exercise price hereunder), equal to the greater of, as determined in the sole discretion of the Holder, (i) the number of shares of stock or securities or property of the Company, or of the entity resulting from such Major Transaction (the "Major Transaction Consideration"), to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant (pursuant to the Cashless Exercise feature hereof) would have been entitled upon such Major Transaction had the Holder so exercised this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere contained) on the Trading Date immediately preceding the public announcement of the transaction resulting in such Major Transaction and had the Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock at the time of the consummation of such Major Transaction, and (ii) cash paid by the Company in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the product of the (x) Market Price (as defined in the Debentures) calculated as of the date of the public announcement of the transaction resulting in such Major Transaction, and (y) the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Holder upon a Cashless Exercise of the Warrant as of such date (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein contained), and the Company shall make lawful provision for the foregoing as a part of such Major Transaction and, in the case of (i) above, shall cause the issuer of any security in such transaction to assume all of the Company's obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures and the Registration Rights Agreement. (e) Adjustments; Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 6, the Holder of this Warrant shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of Page B-7 such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this paragraph 6. Any adjustment made herein that results in a decrease in the Exercise Price shall also effect a proportional increase in the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable. (f) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made pursuant to this Section 6 (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities granted, issued and outstanding on the Closing Date (except in the case where the price at which such warrant, option or security is exercised has decreased since the Closing Date as a result of a reset, anti- dilutive adjustment or similar occurrence); (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit plan, stock option plan or restricted stock plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company; (iii) upon the exercise of the Warrants or the conversion of the Debentures; and (iv) upon the issuance of securities pursuant to a firm-commitment, fixed-price underwritten offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments to the Exercise Price by reason of this clause that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment of the Exercise Price that is required to be made under this Warrant 7. Fractional Interests. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, but on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. 8. Transfer of this Warrant. The Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part, as long as such sale or other disposition is made in the pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon such transfer or other disposition, the Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company, substantially in the form of the Transfer Notice attached hereto as Exhibit B Page B-8 (the "Transfer Notice"), indicating the person or persons to whom this Warrant shall be transferred and, if less than all of this Warrant is transferred, the number of Warrant Shares to be covered by the part of this Warrant to be transferred to each such person. Within three (3) Business Days of receiving a Transfer Notice and the original of this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the each transferee designated by the Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares and, if less than all this Warrant is transferred, shall deliver to the Holder a Warrant for the remaining number of Warrant Shares. 9. Benefits of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Holder of this Warrant and nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Holder of this Warrant any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder. 10. Loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. 11. Notice or Demands. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows: If to the Company: Ramtron International Corporation 1850 Ramtron Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Attn: LuAnn D.

If any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated "special flood hazard area", Borrower shall obtain flood hazard insurance in such an amount as each Lender shall require, but in no event less than the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended. In addition, in the event the Property is located in a "seismic zone" 3 or 4 (as defined in the Uniform Building Code published by the International Conference of Building Officials), Borrower shall obtain earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to each Lender; (ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the "occurrence" form with a combined single limit (including "umbrella" coverage in place) of not less than (1) $3,000,000 and a general aggregate limit of not less than $4,000,000; or (2) if any of the Improvements contain elevators, a combined single limit of not less than $5,000,000 and a general aggregate limit of $6,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by a Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an "if any" basis; (3) independent contractors; and (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts, to the extent the same is available; Page C-7 (iii) Intentionally omitted; (iv) (A) at all times during which structural construction, material repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, owner's contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) during new construction, the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a)(i) written in a so-called builder's risk completed value form on a non-reporting basis; (v) if Borrower has employees, workers' compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer's liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000 aggregate coverage for disease in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation; (vi) if the Property contains HVAC or other equipment not covered by the comprehensive all risk insurance, comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by each Lender; (vii) if Borrower owns or operates motor vehicles, motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits reasonably acceptable to each Lender; and (viii) such other insurance and in such amounts as a Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located. (b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the "Policies" or in the singular, the "Policy"), and shall be subject to the approval of each Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, forms, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The insurance companies must be approved, authorized or licensed to provide insurance in the state in which the Property is located and have a rating of "A" or better for claims paying ability assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Rating Group or a general policy rating of "A-" or better and a financial class of VIII or better assigned by A.M. Best Company, Inc. Each such insurer shall be referred to herein as a "Qualified Insurer". Page C-8 (c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is reasonably approved in advance in writing by each Lenders and each Lenders' interests are included therein as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.2(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall concurrently notify each Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 3.2(e). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Subsection 3.2(a). (d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 3.2(a), except for the Policy referenced in Subsection 3.2(a)(v), shall name each Lender and Borrower as the insured or additional insureds, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of each Lender providing, among other things, that each Lender shall receive notification of any termination or cancellation of insurance and that the loss thereunder shall be payable to the Lenders. (e) If not previously delivered to each Lenders, Borrower shall deliver to each Lender no later than fifteen (15) days after the date hereof certificates of insurance, or at Lender's request, certified copies of the existing Policies providing the insurance coverage required under Section 3.2(a) marked "premium paid" or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to each Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the "Insurance Premiums") annually in advance. In addition, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies which Borrower is now or hereafter required to maintain hereunder, Borrower shall deliver to each Lender certified copies of new or renewal Policies (also marked "premium paid" or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to each Lender of payment of the Insurance Premiums due thereunder annually in advance), together with certificates of insurance therefor, setting forth, among other things, the amounts of insurance maintained, the risks covered by such insurance and the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance. If requested by a Lender, Borrower shall furnish verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to such requesting Lender. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted to finance the payment of any portion of the Insurance Premiums. In any event, Borrower shall have delivered to each Lender certified copies of the existing Policies or certificates evidencing same and payment of the Insurance Premiums on or before the date hereof. Page C-9 (f) If at any time a Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, such Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as such Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as such Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to such Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by this Security Instrument and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 10.3 hereof. (g) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to each Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by each Lender (the "Restoration") and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Security Instrument, except in instances where the Lenders have failed or elected not to disburse Net Proceeds to Borrower under such Section 4.3 (provided that such exception shall not apply if the failure to disburse is attributable to Borrower's failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Clauses (A), (D) or (I) of Subsection 4.3(b)(i) or in Subsection 4.3(b)(ii) or any other conditions set forth in Section 4.3 which Borrower has the practical ability to satisfy). A Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. (h) In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debts, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to such policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or the Lenders or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. 3.3 PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. Borrower shall promptly pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without limitation vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the "Taxes"), all ground rents, maintenance charges, property association charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the "Other Charges"), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property prior to the time same become delinquent. Borrower will deliver to each Lender, promptly upon a Lender's request, evidence satisfactory to each Lenders that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged Page C-10 any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with a Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish to each Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent. 3.4 RESERVES. If a Lender so requests in writing, Borrower shall pay to the Lender or each Lender's designee on the first day of each calendar month (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by such Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the "Escrow Fund"). Borrower agrees to notify each Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has obtained knowledge and authorizes each Lender or such Lender's respective agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Debentures shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to the Lenders. The Lenders will apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof, then, if agreed to by each Lender, in their respective discretion, any excess shall be returned to Borrower or credited against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund; provided, however, each Lender shall comply with all laws applicable to the handling of any portion of the Escrow Fund held by such Lender. In allocating such excess, a Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of such Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, then upon demand from a Lender, Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lender or each Lender's designee, an amount which such Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by the Lenders. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower. 3.5 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give each Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to each Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. A Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to such Lender all instruments requested by such Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with each Lender, its respective attorneys and experts, and cooperate with each of them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to Page C-11 any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debts at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Debentures and in this Security Instrument and the Debts shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by the Lenders, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debts. A Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but each shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Debentures. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 4.3 of this Security Instrument, except in instances where the Lenders have failed or elected not to disburse Net Proceeds to Borrower under such Section 4.3 (provided that such exception shall not apply if the failure to disburse is attributable to Borrower's failure to comply with the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (D) or (I) of Subsection 4.3(b)(i) or in Subsection 4.3(b)(ii) or any other conditions set forth in Section 4.3 which Borrower has the practical ability to satisfy). If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by the Lenders of the award or payment, a Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Debentures shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debts. 3.6 LEASES. Borrower shall not enter into any Leases in respect of the Property without the prior written consent of each Lender, which consent may be withheld by a Lender for any reason or no reason in such Lender's sole and absolute discretion. Borrower represents and warrants that there are no Leases affecting the Property. 3.7 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair and in accordance with requirements of all restrictive covenants affecting the Land. The Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property) without the consent of each Lender. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 3.2(g) and Section 3.5, Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.5 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of each Lender. Page C-12 3.8 WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. 3.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

The term "Net Proceeds" for purposes of this Section 4.3 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by the Lenders pursuant to Subsections 3.2(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (ix) of this Security Instrument as a result of such damage or destruction (or any proceeds of self-insurance maintained in lieu of such insurance policies), after deduction of each Lender's reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("Insurance Proceeds"), or (ii) the net amount of all awards and payments received by the Lenders with respect to a taking referenced in Section 3.5 of this Security Instrument, after deduction of each Lender's reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("Condemnation Proceeds"), whichever the case may be. (i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for the Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met: (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under either Debenture, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents; (B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed, or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property; (C) Intentionally omitted; (D) Borrower shall have commenced the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction or taking, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; (E) Intentionally omitted; (F) Intentionally omitted; (G) each Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Debentures), (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty Page C-15 or taking, whichever the case may be, or (3) such time as may be required under any applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules or regulations in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable; (H) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (I) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; and (J) such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements. (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by the Lenders or their joint designee and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b), shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by the Lenders to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to each Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of each Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of each Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. (iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval in all respects by each Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by such Lender (each, a "Casualty Consultant"), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by each Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by each Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Page C-16 (iv) In no event shall the Lenders or their designee be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term "Casualty Retainage" as used in this Subsection 4.3(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 4.3(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to each Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and the Lenders receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to each Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage, provided, however, that the Lenders will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to each Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by a Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If required by a Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman. (v) The Lenders shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of a Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the "Net Proceeds Deficiency") with the Lenders or their joint designee before any further Page C-17 disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with the Lenders or their designee shall be held by the Lenders or their designee and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.3(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. With respect to Restorations following a casualty in which the Improvements are restored to substantially the same condition as they existed prior to the casualty, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with the Lenders or their designee after the Casualty Consultant certifies to each Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b), and the receipt by the Lenders of evidence reasonably satisfactory to each Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by the Lenders to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under either Debenture, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents. (c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 4.3(b)(vi) may be retained and applied by a Lender towards the payment of the Debts of the Lenders whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as such Lender in its discretion shall deem proper or, at the election of all Lenders, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as the Lenders shall jointly designate, in their discretion. Any such prepayment shall be applied to the principal last due under the Debentures and shall not release Borrower from the obligation to pay the payments required to be paid by Borrower under the Debentures and such payments shall not be adjusted or recalculated as a result of such partial prepayment. If the Lenders shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by each Lender and actually applied by each Lender in reduction of the respective Debts. 5 - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender that: 5.1 WARRANTY OF TITLE.

Borrower acknowledges that each Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the loans evidenced by the Debentures, and will continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for payment and performance of the Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that each Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the payment or the performance of the Obligations, each Lender can recover its respective Debt by a sale of the Property. Page C-24 8.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower agrees that except as expressly provided in the Debentures, the sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or other transfer of the Property, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of each Lender, shall constitute an event allowing a Lender to declare the entire unpaid Debts to be immediately due and payable without notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or any other notice. 8.3 SALE/ENCUMBRANCE DEFINED.

Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by a Lender with respect to the Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. Upon any foreclosure or other sale of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof, a Lender or any combination of Lenders may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the secured indebtedness as a credit against the purchase price. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.1 to the contrary, if any Event of Default as described in clause (i) or (ii) of Subsection 9.1(f) shall occur, the entire unpaid Debts shall be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by a Lender 10.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by a Lender pursuant to the Debentures, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by such Lender to the payment of the Debts in such priority and proportions as such Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. 10.3 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or curing or being deemed to have cured any default hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as such Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Each Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its respective interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debts, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debts and shall be due and payable to the applicable Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by a Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Debentures), for the period after notice from such Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to such Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by a Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Interest Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debts and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by such Lender therefor. Page C-28 10.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Each Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which such Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property. 10.5 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Each Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debts as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debts shall be due, and without prejudice to the rights of such Lender or the other Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. 10.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. Each Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower and its affiliates which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Borrower, its affiliates where the books and records are located. Each Lender and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, each Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower and its affiliates pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours at any office of Borrower, its affiliates where the books and records are located. This Section 10.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Debentures and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. 10.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of any or all of the Lenders to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of any or all of the Lenders to comply with any request of Borrower to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of any Debenture or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debts or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by any or all of the Lenders extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of any Debenture, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. (b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and no Lender shall have any liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by any or all of the Lenders shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in a Lenders' possession. Page C-29 (c) Public Trustee or a Lender may resort for the payment of the Debts to any other security held by Public Trustee or such Lender in such order and manner as Public Trustee or such Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Public Trustee or a Lender may take action to recover the Debts, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Public Trustee or a Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of each Lender and Public Trustee under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Public Trustee or a Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. The Lenders and Public Trustee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. 10.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. The Lenders may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as is approved and required by each Lender without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by a Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as each Lenders may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property. 10.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in compliance with Applicable Laws, a Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection therewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents. 10.10 RECOURSE AND CHOICE OF REMEDIES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Instrument, including but not limited to Article 13 hereof, each Lender and other Indemnified Parties (defined in Section 11.1 below) are entitled to enforce the obligations of Borrower contained in the Debentures and this Security Instrument without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to the Debentures or any of the Property, through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the event a Lender commences a foreclosure action against the Property, each Lender is entitled to pursue a deficiency judgment with respect to such obligations against Borrower. The liability of Borrower is not limited to the original principal amount of the Debentures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent a Lender from foreclosing pursuant to this Security Instrument or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Debentures, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Borrower, whether or not action is brought against any other person or entity or whether or not any other person or entity is joined in the action or actions.

This Security Instrument shall be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located and the applicable laws of the United States of America. Page C-34 15.2 USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument and the Debentures are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Debts at a rate which could subject the holder of either Debenture to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Security Instrument or either Debentures, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debts at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Security Instrument and such Debenture shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of such Debenture. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to a Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the applicable Debenture until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debts does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debts for so long as any portion of the Debts are outstanding. 15.3 PROVISIONS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Security Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Security Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Security Instrument or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Security Instrument and any other application of the term shall not be affected thereby. 16 - SECONDARY MARKET 16.1 TRANSFER OF LOAN. Each Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign its Debenture, its interest in this Security Instrument and any other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the "Securities"). Each Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securities or any rating agency (a "Rating Agency") rating such Securities (all of the foregoing entities collectively referred to as the "Investor") and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which such Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debts, Borrower and the Property, as such Lender determines necessary or desirable. Borrower agrees to cooperate with each Lender in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Section, provided such cooperation does not require Borrower to incur any material cost or expense. Borrower shall also furnish and Borrower consents to each Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective Investors or Rating Agency any and all available Page C-35 information concerning the Property, the Leases and/or the financial condition of Borrower as may be requested by such Lender, any Investor or any prospective Investor or Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest. In addition to any other obligations Borrower may have under this Section 16.1, Borrower shall execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's organizational documents as may be requested by any holder of a Debenture or any Investor to effect the assignment of a Debenture and the other Loan Documents and/or issuance of Securities including (i) bifurcating a Debenture into two or more debentures and/or splitting this Security Instrument into two or more mortgages, deeds of trust or deeds to secure debt (as the case may be) of the same or different priorities or otherwise as determined by and acceptable to each Lender or (ii) dividing either Debenture into multiple components corresponding to tranches of certificates to be issued in a securitization each having a notional balance and an interest rate determined by the applicable Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if the overall effect of such modification or amendment would (y) change the interest rate, the maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in either Debenture, or (z) modify or amend any other material economic term of either Debenture or the other Loan Documents. 17 - COSTS 17.1 PERFORMANCE AT BORROWER'S EXPENSE. Borrower acknowledges and confirms that each Lender shall be entitled to impose certain administrative processing and/or commitment fees in connection with: (a) extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments and terminations of the Loan Documents requested by Borrower and (b) the release or substitution of collateral for the Debt requested by Borrower, and that each Lender shall be entitled to reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with its provision of consents, waivers and approvals under the Loan Documents (the occurrence of any of the above shall be called an "Event").

The provisions of this Article are intended to supplement, and not limit, the other provisions of this Security Instrument; provided, however, that in the event the provisions of this Article contradict any other provision of this Security Instrument, the provisions of this Article shall govern. 22 - MULTIPLE LENDER PROVISION 22.1 MULTIPLE LENDER PROVISION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower and each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, hereby acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) Wherever in this Security Instrument the consent or approval of "each Lender" is required for any matter or thing or a matter or thing is required to be satisfactory to "each Lender", then such matter or thing must be consented to, approved by or satisfactory to all Lenders and if any Lender shall disapprove same or find same to be unsatisfactory, then Borrower shall be prohibited from taking any action with respect to such matter or thing. (b) Subject to Section 22.2(e) below, wherever in this Security Instrument "a Lender" is granted the right to take an action (including, without limitation, the exercise of remedies under Article 10), make an election or request, approve a request or otherwise act, then any Lender may take such action, make such election or request, approve such request or otherwise act, without the participation by or consent of any other Lender. Page C-45 (c) Wherever in this Security Instrument funds are required to be deposited with or held by "the Lenders" (including, without limitation, funds deposited in the Escrow Fund and/or the Net Proceeds), each Lender shall receive a portion of such funds equal to (x) such Lender's Proportionate Loan Share (as hereinafter defined) of (y) the funds to be deposited with or held by the Lenders. Each Lender shall hold and apply its proportionate share of such deposited funds in accordance with this Security Instrument. (d) Any funds received by a Lender pursuant to this Security Instrument shall be allocated between and paid to the Lenders in accordance with each Lender's Proportionate Loan Share. To the extent that a Lender receives greater than its Proportionate Loan Share, such Lender shall promptly remit such overpayment to each other Lender as required to comply with this Security Instrument and the Debentures. Each Lender may determine the order in which to apply funds received by it regardless of the order which any other Lender applies funds (e.g., a Lender may determine to apply funds first to expenses, second to interest and third to principal and a second Lender may determine to apply funds first to interest, second to expenses and third to principal). (e) If an event occurs which with the given of notice or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, then a Lender shall have the right to deliver any notice required to be given to the Borrower in connection with such event (and such notice shall be deemed to be given on behalf of all Lenders). (f) If an Event of Default occurs and a Lender takes action to exercise remedies under this Security Instrument, then (i) if the exercise of a remedy would preclude any other Lender from exercising the same remedy or would make it impractical or impossible for any other Lender to exercise such remedy, then any action by such Lender in exercising such remedy shall automatically be deemed to have been taken (and shall be taken) on behalf of each other Lender (e.g., if such Lender elects to institute a foreclosure proceeding and/or enter the Property and collect Rents, then such Lender shall automatically cause such foreclosure proceeding to be instituted with respect to the entire amount of the Debt due to all Lenders and shall collect such Rents on behalf of all Lenders and any funds received by such Lender shall be allocated between the Lenders in proportion to their Proportionate Loan Share), (ii) if the exercise of a remedy would not preclude any other Lender from exercising the same remedy or would not make it impractical or impossible for any other Lender to exercise such remedy or any other remedy afforded to a Lender, any action by such Lender may be taken by such Lender on its own behalf with respect to its Proportionate Loan Share of the Debts (e.g., a Lender may seek to recover a judgment on any Debenture either before, during or after any proceeding for enforcement of this Security Instrument or other Loan Document if such recovery would not preclude Page C-46 any other Lender from exercising the same remedy or exercising any other remedy afforded to a Lender) and (iii) no Lender shall (x) except as provided in subclause (f)(i) above, take or have the right to take any action which would be prejudicial to the exercise of any other Lender's remedies or take an action which would be deemed an election of remedies by all of the Lenders under this Security Instrument (and if any such action is taken without the consent of the affected Lender, same shall be deemed to be void and of nor force and effect) or (y) waive, relinquish, reduce or otherwise abrogate or limit any right, claim, remedy, interest, lien or other matter to which any other Lender is entitled without the consent of such Lender (and if any such action is taken, same shall be deemed to be void and of nor force and effect). In no event shall the foregoing preclude any Lender from exercising any remedy granted to a Lender under any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the conversion by a Lender of its Debenture to common stock of Borrower). (g) Each Lender (each, an "Indemnifying Lender") hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each other Lender (each, an "Indemnified Lender") from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs and disbursements) sustained by an Indemnified Lender as a result of the actions or omissions of the Indemnifying Lender which are determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration proceeding to be in violation of the terms of this Security Instrument (including, without limitation, a claim by Borrower against the Lenders arising from the actions or failure to act of any one Lender and/or a claim by an Indemnified Lender against an Indemnifying Lender arising from a breach of the provisions of this Section 22.1). In no event shall the Borrower be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of the foregoing indemnity. (h) As used herein "Proportionate Loan Share" shall mean, as to each Lender, a percentage equal to (x) the amount due to such Lender under the Loan Documents divided by (y) the total amount due to all of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

On or before the Filing Deadline, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 as a "shelf" registration statement under Rule 415 covering the resale of a number of shares of Registrable Securities equal to the one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date pursuant to the Debentures and the Warrants at the conversion or exercise prices then in effect (without giving effect to any limitation on such conversion or exercise). The Registration Statement shall state, to the extent permitted by Rule 416 under the Securities Act, that it also covers such indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock as may be required to effect conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants in order to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar events. (b) Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in no event later than the Registration Deadline. The Company shall respond promptly to any and all comments made by the staff of the Commission on the Registration Statement (but in no event later than seven (7) Business Days following the Company's receipt thereof), and shall submit to the Commission, within one (1) Business Day after the Company learns Page D-2 that no review of the Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the Commission or that the staff of the Commission has no further comments on the Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to a time and date not later than forty-eight (48) hours after the submission of such request. The Company will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities eligible for resale thereunder have been publicly sold pursuant to either the Registration Statement or Rule 144 and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities remaining to be sold under the Registration Statement (in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Holder) may be immediately sold to the public without registration and without regard to the amount of Registrable Securities which may be sold by a Holder thereof at a given time (the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) or (ii) above being referred to herein as the "Registration Period"). (d) Registration Default. If (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or before the Filing Deadline or declared effective by the Commission on or before the Registration Deadline, (B) after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and during a period in which an Allowed Delay (as hereinafter defined) is not in effect, sales of Registrable Securities cannot be made by a Holder under the Registration Statement for any reason not within the exclusive control of such Holder (other than such Registrable Securities as are then freely saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k)), or (C) an amendment to the Registration Statement, or a new registration statement, required to be filed pursuant to the terms of paragraph 4(k) below is not filed on or before the date required by such paragraph, (each of (A), (B) and C) being referred to herein as a "Registration Default"), the Company shall make payments to each Holder equal to (i) for the first thirty (30) day period in which a Registration Default occurs (prorated for any period of less than thirty days), one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the principal amount of the Debentures then held by such Holder and (ii) for each thirty day period in which a Registration Default exists thereafter (prorated for any period of less than thirty days), two percent (2%) of such principal amount. Such payment shall be in addition to any other remedies available to each Holder at law or in equity or pursuant to the terms hereof or the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures, or otherwise. 3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period, (i) the Company proposes to register shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such shares for cash (a "Proposed Registration") and (ii) a Registration Statement covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities is not then effective and available for sales Page D-3 thereof by the Holders, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such Proposed Registration. Each Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the amount of Registrable Securities that such Holder intends to sell and such Holder's intended method of distribution. Upon receipt of such request, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to this Section 3 without obligation to the Holder. If, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company or for stockholders of the Company that have contractual rights to require the Company to register shares of Common Stock, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in a Registration Statement because, in the judgment of such underwriter(s), marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate such offering, then the Company shall be obligated to include in the Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which each Holder has requested inclusion hereunder as such underwriter(s) shall permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to include Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in the Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided, further, that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the right to include such securities in the Registration Statement. 4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In addition to performing its obligations hereunder, including without limitation those pursuant to paragraphs 2(a), (b) and (c) above, the Company shall: (a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement during the Registration Period, or as may be reasonably requested by a Holder in order to incorporate information concerning such Holder or such Holder's intended method of distribution; Page D-4 (b) immediately following the Closing, secure the listing of all Registrable Securities on the Nasdaq National Market System, and provide each Holder with reasonable evidence thereof; (c) furnish to each Holder such number of copies of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Holder's Registrable Securities; (d) use all commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as shall be reasonably requested from time to time by a Holder, and do any and all other acts or things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction; (e) in the event of an underwritten public offering of the Registrable Securities, enter into (together with all Holders proposing to distribute Registrable Securities through such underwriting) and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company, with the managing underwriter of such offering; (f) notify each Holder immediately after becoming aware of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and as promptly as practicable, prepare, file and furnish to each Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or an amendment to such prospectus as may be necessary so that such prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, provided that, for not more than five (5) consecutive Business Days (or a total of not more than thirty (30) calendar days in any twelve (12) month period), in the event of a proposed merger or similar transaction, during a period of time when the Company is in possession of material information that its board of directors (A) has determined, after advice of securities counsel, would be required to be disclosed in an offering registered under the Securities Act and (B) reasonably deems is in the Company's best interests not to disclose publicly, and during any period of time necessary to Page D-5 prepare file and furnish to each Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or an amendment to such prospectus included in any Registration Statement as may be necessary in response to any notice received by the Company pursuant to Section 5(f) of this Agreement in order that such prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, the Company may delay the disclosure of such material non-public information (an "Allowed Delay"); provided, further, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify each Holder in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay (but in no event, without the prior written consent of such Holder, shall the Company disclose to such Holder any of the facts or circumstances regarding any material non-public information) and (ii) advise each Holder in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the termination of the Allowed Delay; (g) use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible time and to notify each Holder of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof; (h) furnish to each Holder, on the date that the Registration Statement becomes effective, (x) a letter, dated such date, of outside counsel representing the Company (and reasonably acceptable to such Holder) addressed to such Holder, confirming the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, to the knowledge of such counsel, the absence of any stop order, and (y) in the case of an underwriting, (A) a copy of an opinion, dated such date, of such outside counsel, in such form and substance as is required to be given to the underwriters, and (B) a letter addressed to such Holder, dated such date, from the Company's independent certified public accountants, in such form and substance as is required to be given by the Company's independent certified public accountants to such underwriters; (i) provide to each Holder and its representatives the reasonable opportunity to conduct a reasonable inquiry of the Company's financial and other records during normal business hours and make available its officers, directors and employees for questions regarding information which such Holder may reasonably request in order to fulfill any due diligence obligation on its part; (j) permit counsel for each Holder to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, and any comments made by the staff of the Commission concerning such Holder and/or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company's responses thereto, within a reasonable period of time (but in no event less than three (3) Business Days after such Holder has Page D-6 received such documents) prior to the filing thereof with the Commission (or, in the case of comments made by the staff of the Commission, within a reasonable period of time following the receipt thereof by the Company); and (k) in the event that, at any time, the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover one hundred and twenty five percent 125% of the Registrable Securities eligible for resale thereunder and issuable under the related Debentures and Warrants (such number to be determined using the Conversion Price or Exercise Price in effect on such dates and without regard to any restriction on the ability of a Holder to convert such Holder's Debentures or exercise such Holder's Warrant as of such date) the Company shall promptly amend the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement, in any event as soon as practicable, but not later than the tenth (10th) day following notice from a Holder of the occurrence of such event, so that the Registration Statement or such new registration statement, or both, covers no less than one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Registrable Securities eligible for resale thereunder and issuable under the related Debentures and Warrants (such number to be determined using the Conversion Price or Exercise Price in effect on such dates and without regard to any restriction on the ability of a Holder to convert such Debentures or exercise such Warrants as of such date). Any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this paragraph 4 shall state that, to the extent permitted by Rule 416 under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants in full. Unless and until such amendment or new Registration Statement becomes effective, each Holder shall have the rights described in Section 2(d) above. 5. OBLIGATIONS OF EACH HOLDER. In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, each Holder shall: (a) timely furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding itself and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request in order to effect the registration thereof; (b) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in paragraphs 4(f) or 4(g), immediately discontinue any sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until the filing of an amendment or supplement as described in paragraph 4(f) or withdrawal of the stop order referred to in paragraph 4(g), and use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents; Page D-7 (c) in the event of an underwritten offering of such Registrable Securities in which such Holder participates, enter into a customary and reasonable underwriting agreement and execute such other documents as the Company and the managing underwriter for such offering may reasonably request; (d) to the extent required by applicable law, deliver a prospectus to the purchaser of such Registrable Securities; (e) notify the Company when it has sold all of the Registrable Securities held by it; and (f) notify the Company in the event that any information supplied by such Holder in writing for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related prospectus is untrue or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; immediately discontinue any sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until the filing of an amendment or supplement to such prospectus as may be necessary so that such prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company as may be appropriate to make such amendment or supplement effective for such purpose. 6. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of such Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (whether joint or several) (collectively, including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same, "Losses"), insofar as any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6(c) below, the Company will reimburse such Holder, and each such officer, director, employee, agent, representative or controlling Page D-8 person for any legal or other expenses as reasonably incurred by any such entity or person in connection with investigating or defending any Loss; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be obligated to indemnify any person for any Loss to the extent that such Loss is based upon and is in conformity with written information furnished by such person expressly for use in such Registration Statement. (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder who is named in such Registration Statement as a selling stockholder, acting severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) that any such Losses are based upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6(c) below, such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses as reasonably incurred by the Company and any such officer, director, employee, agent, representative, or controlling person, in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 6(b) exceed the net proceeds resulting from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder under such Registration Statement. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of one such counsel for all indemnified parties to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, to the extent Page D-9 prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6 with respect to such action, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6 or with respect to any other action unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced as a result of not receiving such notice. (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and each Holder agree, severally and not jointly, to contribute to the aggregate Losses to which the Company or such Holder may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Holder in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall such Holder be responsible for any amount in excess of the proceeds resulting from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by it under the Registration Statement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the Company or by such Holder. The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee, agent or representative of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee, agent or representative of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). (e) The obligations of the Company and each Holder under this Section 6 shall survive the conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants in full, the completion of any offering or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement under this Agreement, or otherwise. 7. REPORTS. With a view to making available to each Holder the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit such Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to: Page D-10 (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish to such Holder, so long as such Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon written request (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) to the extent not publicly available through the Commission's EDGAR database, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested by such Holder in connection with such Holder's compliance with any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without registration. 8. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and expenses of counsel to each Holder, incurred in connection with the registrations, filings or qualifications described herein, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the opinion and letter described in paragraph 4(h) hereof, shall be borne by the Company. (b) Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and each Holder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Holder, each future Holder, and the Company. The failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or the delay by any party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. (c) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows: Page D-11 If to the Company: Ramtron International Corporation 1850 Ramtron Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Attn: LuAnn D.

Page S-1 Ramtron International Corporation Schedule 3.11 - Intellectual Property March 14, 2002 A patent interference proceeding, which was declared in 1991 in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "Patent Office") between the Company, National Semiconductor Corporation ("National") and the Department of the Navy in regard to one of the Company's issued United States patents, is continuing. The patent involved covers a basic ferroelectric memory cell design invention the Company believes is of fundamental importance to its FRAM business in the United States. An interference is declared in the Patent Office when two or more parties each claim to have made the same invention. The interference proceeding is therefore conducted to determine which party is entitled to the patent rights covering the invention. In the present interference contest, the Company is the "senior" party, which means that it is in possession of the issued United States Patent and retains all rights associated with such patent. The other two parties involved in the interference are the "junior" parties, and each has the burden of proof of convincing the Patent Office by a preponderance of the evidence that it was the first to invent the subject matter of the invention and thus is entitled to the corresponding patent rights. Only the Company and National filed briefs in this matter. Oral arguments were presented before the Patent Office on March 1, 1996. The Patent Office decided the interference on May 6, 1997, holding that all of the claims were patentable to National, one of the "junior" parties. The other "junior" party, the Department of the Navy, was not granted any patent claims pursuant to the interference proceedings. On June 20, 1997, the Company filed a Request for Reconsideration with the Patent Office concerning the interference decision. Pursuant to the Request for Reconsideration, the Company requested that five separate issues be reconsidered because, from the Company's perspective, they were either ignored or misconstrued in the original decision. A decision on the Request for Reconsideration was issued on November 19, 1998, again holding that all of the claims were patentable to National. On January 9, 1999, the Company appealed the decision of the Patent Office on one of the interference counts directly to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On February 2, 2000, the Court of Appeals vacated and remanded the decision of the Patent Office for further proceedings. The Company also filed complaints in Federal District Court seeking a review of the decision of the Patent Office on the remaining interference counts. The Company remains in possession of the issued United States Patent and retains all rights associated with such patent while it pursues its appeal options. The "junior" party has received no rights associated with this patent decision and will not receive any such rights as long as the appeal process continues. Under a Patent Office decision on August 13, 2001, the Company was found to be the first to invent, however, the Patent Office concluded that the enablement and best-mode requirements for patent issuance had not been met by the Company. In October 2001, both the Company and National filed a Request for Reconsideration with the Patent Office. The Patent Office response is still pending. If the Company's Request for Reconsideration is denied, the Company will appeal the decision of the Patent Office. Page S-2 If the Company's patent rights that are the subject of the interference proceeding are ultimately lost or significantly compromised, the Company would be precluded from producing FRAM products in the United States using the Company's existing design architecture, absent being able to obtain a suitable license to exploit such rights. If such patent rights are ultimately awarded to National, and if a license to such rights is not subsequently entered into by the Company with National, National could use the patent to prevent the manufacture, use or sale by the Company, and/or its licensees, within the United States of any products that come within the scope of such patent rights, which would include all FRAM products as currently designed, and which would materially adversely affect the Company. The Company has vigorously defended its patent rights in this interference contest and will continue such efforts. The Company is uncertain as to the ultimate outcome of the interference proceeding, as well as to the resulting effects upon the Company's financial position or results of operations.
