THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of May 8, 2009 (the “Amendment”) among POWER-ONE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each of THE UNDERSIGNED DIRECT AND INDIRECT SUBSIDIARIES of the Company (each, a “Subsidiary Pledgor,” and collectively with the Company, the “Pledgors”), in favor of THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., a national banking association (in such capacity, together with successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”).
WHEREAS, the Company and the Collateral Agent are parties to an Indenture dated as of June 17, 2008 (as amended or supplemented, the “Indenture”), which evidences and governs the issuance of debt securities (the “Securities”) by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $80,000,000, of which $63,000,000 are currently outstanding.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Collateral Agent heretofore executed and delivered a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of June 17, 2008 (the “Pledge Agreement”) between the Company and the Collateral Agent, pursuant to which the Pledgors granted security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, in the Pledged Collateral.
WHEREAS, Section 13.01(b) of the Indenture provides that the Holders of at least a majority principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the Collateral Agent to amend, modify or supplement the Pledge Agreement and/or to release Pledged Collateral from the lien of the Pledge Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Company has obtained the written consent to this Amendment from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Securities, and such Holders have directed the Collateral Agent to enter into this Amendment for their benefit.

(c) Section 6(k) of the Pledge Agreement is deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced with the following:

(f) The following is hereby added as a new Section 30 to the Pledge Agreement:
“SECTION 30. Releases. If any of the Pledged Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Pledgor in a transaction that is not prohibited by the Indenture, then the Lien thereon and security interest therein (but not in any of the proceeds thereof) arising under Section 2 hereof automatically shall be released without further action by the Collateral Agent, any Holder or any other Person, and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Pledgor, shall execute and deliver to such Pledgor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to effect or evidence such release of the Liens and security interests created hereby on or in such Pledged Collateral.”
(g) The following is hereby added as a new Section 31 to the Pledge Agreement:
2
“SECTION 31. Lien Sharing. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees that, to the extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurs any Indebtedness that is secured equally and ratably by Liens on the Collateral, it shall (i) enter into with the holders of such Indebtedness (or any agent or trustee on behalf of such holders) an intercreditor agreement on customary terms providing for, among other things, such Indebtedness to be secured equally and ratably with the Liens of the Collateral Agent on the Collateral and voting rights with respect to Collateral matters to be determined on a ratable basis based on the aggregate amount of obligations owing under the Indenture Documents and to the holders of such Indebtedness (or any agent or trustee on behalf of such holders) and (ii) agree to such amendments to this Agreement as are required to provide for the sharing of the Collateral.”
