SUPPLEMENT

dated as of June 6, 2012

between

Meru Networks, Inc. (“Borrower”)

and

Venture Lending & Leasing VI, Inc. (“Lender”)

This is a Supplement identified in the document entitled Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 6, 2012 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented and modified from time to time, the “Loan and Security Agreement”), by and between Borrower and Lender.  All capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined in this Supplement have the meanings ascribed to them in Article 10 of the Loan and Security Agreement, which is incorporated in its entirety into this Supplement.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement and this Supplement, this Supplement is controlling.

In addition to the provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

Part 1. - Additional Definitions:

“Commitment”: Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement and this Supplement, Lender commits to make a Growth Capital Loan to Borrower up to the original principal amount of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000).

“Designated Rate”:  The Designated Rate for the Growth Capital Loan shall be a fixed rate of interest per annum equal to twelve percent (12.00%).

“Growth Capital Loan” means the Loan requested by Borrower and funded by Lender under its Commitment for general corporate purposes of Borrower.

“Loan Commencement Date” means, with respect to the Growth Capital Loan, (i) the first day of the first full calendar month following the Borrowing Date of such Loan if such Borrowing Date is not the first day of a month; or (ii) the same day as the Borrowing Date if the Borrowing Date is the first day of a month.

“Termination Date”:  The Termination Date is the earlier of:  (i) the date Lender may terminate its Commitment or extending other credit pursuant to the rights of Lender under Article 7 of the Loan and Security Agreement; and (ii) the Closing Date.

“Threshold Amount”: Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).

Part 2. - Additional Covenants and Conditions:

1.                                      Commitment; Additional Conditions Precedent Regarding; Funding and Repayment of Growth Capital Loan.

(a)                                 Additional Condition Precedent.  In addition to the satisfaction of all the other conditions precedent specified in Article 4 of the Loan and Security Agreement and this Supplement, Lender’s obligation to fund the Growth Capital Loan under Lender’s Commitment is subject to receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to it, as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment, that as of the Borrowing Date of such Loan, Borrower does not have any outstanding Indebtedness to SVB.  Subject to the foregoing and the other terms and conditions of the Loan and Security Agreement and this Supplement, Lender agrees to make a Growth Capital Loan

to Borrower from the Closing Date up to and including the Termination Date in an original principal amount up to but not exceeding the Commitment.

(b)                                 Repayment of Growth Capital Loan.  Principal of and interest on the Growth Capital Loan funded by Lender shall be payable as set forth in a Note evidencing such Loan (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”), which Note shall provide substantially as follows:  principal and interest at the Designated Rate shall be fully amortized over a period of thirty-nine (39) months in equal, monthly installments.  In particular, on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Growth Capital Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender the first amortization installment of principal and interest at the Designated Rate, in advance, for the month of June 2012.  Commencing on July 1, 2012, and continuing on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender principal, plus interest at the Designated Rate, in advance, in thirty-eight (38) equal consecutive monthly installments.  For clarity, Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that $369,405.09 represents the monthly payment amount that will be required to amortize the principal balance of the Growth Capital Loan, together with interest thereon at the Designated Rate, over a 39-month term.

2.                                      Prepayment.

(a)                                 Generally.  Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Growth Capital Loan may be voluntarily prepaid as provided in this Section 2(a) only.  Borrower may voluntarily prepay all but not less than all of such Growth Capital Loan in whole but not in part at any time by tendering to Lender cash payment in respect of such Growth Capital Loan in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the accrued and unpaid interest on such Growth Capital Loan as of the date of prepayment, and (ii) an amount equal to the total amount of all scheduled but unpaid payments of principal and interest that would have accrued and been payable from the date of prepayment through the stated date of maturity of such Growth Capital Loan had it remained outstanding and been paid in accordance with the terms of the related Note.

(b)                                 From and after January 1, 2014.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(a), commencing at any time from and after January 1, 2014 and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all but not less than all of the Growth Capital Loan in whole but not in part by tendering to Lender cash payment in respect of such Growth Capital Loan in an amount (as determined by Lender) equal to the sum of: (i) the accrued and unpaid interest on such Growth Capital Loan as of the date of prepayment; (ii) the unpaid principal balance of such Growth Capital Loan as of the date of prepayment and (iii) the product of (A) 0.80 and (B) the interest that would have accrued and been payable from the date of prepayment through the stated date of maturity of such Growth Capital Loan had it remained outstanding and been paid in accordance with the terms of the related Note.

3.                                      SVB Credit Facility; Subordination of Lien Priority.  Lender agrees that Lender will subordinate to SVB the priority of the Liens granted to Lender pursuant to the Security Documents as to that portion of the Collateral consisting of Borrower’s accounts receivable, the proceeds thereof and Borrower’s cash.  Lender agrees to negotiate in good faith and to enter an intercreditor agreement with SVB, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, setting forth SVB’s and Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to their respective Liens in Collateral.   Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that:  (i) the SVB Credit Facility shall have an advance rate of no more than 80% and other terms and conditions acceptable to Lender; (ii) the Indebtedness of Borrower to SVB under the SVB Credit Facility shall not exceed an aggregate amount outstanding at any time equal to the difference between Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) and the outstanding principal balance of the Growth Capital Loan advanced to Borrower by Lender hereunder; (iii) advances under the SVB Credit Facility shall be made as close to the end of Borrower’s then-current fiscal quarter as practicable, and no earlier than three (3) Business Days prior to the end of such fiscal quarter; (iv) any such advances made under the SVB Credit Facility shall be repaid by Borrower as soon as practicable, and no later than three (3) Business Days following the end of the fiscal quarter in which an advance was made; and (v) no later than four (4) Business Days after the end of each fiscal quarter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate from Borrower’s chief financial officer or other authorized officer, substantially in the form of Exhibit “C-2” to this Supplement (“Advance Certificate”), setting forth the details of any amounts advanced and repaid by Borrower in connection with the SVB Credit Facility.  Borrower and Lender further acknowledge and agree that upon Borrower’s achieving two (2) consecutive quarters of increasing profitability of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per quarter (based on non-GAAP income, and excluding stock compensation and other non-cash items), and so long as Borrower maintains such profitability (i.e., at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per quarter), Lender will remove the temporal limitations relating to advances under the SVB Credit Facility.

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE

[Note No. X-XXX]

The undersigned (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of VENTURE LENDING & LEASING VI, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Lender”), at its office at 104 La Mesa Dr., Suite 102, Portola Valley, CA 94028, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000), with interest thereon from the date hereof until maturity, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a fixed rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12.00%) (the “Designated Rate”).

This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to all the benefits of, a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 6, 2012, between Borrower and Lender (as the same has been and may be amended, restated and supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).  Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events.

Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable as follows:

On the Borrowing Date, Borrower shall pay the first amortization installment of principal, plus interest at the Designated Rate, in advance, for the month of June 2012 in the amount of [                                    ].

Commencing on July 1, 2012, and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender principal, plus interest at the Designated Rate, in advance, in thirty-eight (38) equal consecutive monthly installments of Three Hundred Sixty Nine Thousand Four Hundred Five and 09/100 Dollars ($369,405.09) each.

This Note may be voluntarily prepaid only as permitted under Section 2 of Part 2 of the Supplement to the Loan Agreement.

Any unpaid payments of principal or interest on this Note shall bear interest from their respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.  Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.

Interest, charges and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were used.  In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.

If Borrower is late in making any payment under this Note by more than five (5) Business Days, Borrower agrees to pay a “late charge” of five percent (5%) of the installment due, but not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) for any one such delinquent payment.  This late charge may be charged by Lender for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent amounts.  Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Note and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments.  Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient.  Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding those laws that direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
