Credit Facilities | CONVERTIBLE NOTES, OTHER DEBTS AND FINANCE LEASES 4.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) In June 2020, the Company issued the 2022 Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $37.7 million in a non-cash exchange for its 2020 Notes with an equal principal amount pursuant to an indenture, dated June 2, 2020 (the “2022 Notes Indenture”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.375% per year, payable in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2022 Notes will mature on December 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased by the Company, redeemed by the Company or converted pursuant to their terms. The 2022 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 173.9978 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.75 per share). The conversion rate, and thus the effective conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances, including in connection with conversions made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances as set forth in the 2022 Notes Indenture. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2022, the 2022 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ended on June 26, 2020 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2022 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. Commencing on September 1, 2022 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the 2022 Notes will be convertible in multiples of $1,000 principal amount regardless of the foregoing circumstances. As the 2022 Notes were issued in exchange for the 2020 Notes, which was accounted for as an extinguishment, the 2022 Notes were initially accounted for at fair value, which was estimated to be $44.4 million. In accordance with the accounting guidance on embedded conversion features, the conversion feature associated with the 2022 Notes was initially valued at $8.3 million and bifurcated from the host debt instrument and recorded in “Additional paid-in capital.” The remaining amount of $36.0 million, which represents the fair value of the liability component of the 2022 Notes, was recorded as the initial carrying value of the 2022 Notes. The initial debt discount on the 2022 Notes is $1.7 million, calculated as the difference between the stated principal amount of $37.7 million and the initial carrying value of the liability component of $36.0 million. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense at the effective interest rate over the contractual terms of the 2022 Notes. The following table presents the components of the 2022 Notes:

2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) In September 2019, the Company issued $115.5 million of the 2024 Notes pursuant to an indenture (the “2024 Notes Indenture”), dated September 13, 2019, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per year, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning March 1, 2020. The 2024 Notes will mature on September 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by the Company, redeemed by the Company or converted pursuant to their terms. The 2024 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 115.5001 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.66 per share). The conversion rate, and thus the effective conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances, including in connection with conversions made following certain fundamental changes or a notice of redemption and under other circumstances, in each case, as set forth in the 2024 Notes Indenture. The 2024 Notes will be convertible at certain times and upon the occurrence of certain events in the future, in each case, specified in the 2024 Notes Indenture. Further, on or after June 1, 2024, until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the 2024 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2024 Notes regardless of these conditions. In accordance with the accounting guidance on embedded conversion features, the conversion feature associated with the 2024 Notes was valued at $24.9 million and bifurcated from the host debt instrument and recorded in “Additional paid-in capital.” The resulting debt discount on the 2024 Notes is being amortized to interest expense at the effective interest rate over the contractual term of the 2024 Notes.

4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) In December 2015, the Company issued $128.25 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes pursuant to an indenture (the “2020 Notes Indenture”), dated December 14, 2015, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2020 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per year, payable in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2020 Notes matured on December 1, 2020. The 2020 Notes were convertible into cash, shares of the Common Stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at a conversion rate of 173.9978 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.75 per share). The conversion rate, and thus the effective conversion price, was adjustable under certain circumstances, including in connection with conversions made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances, in each case, as set forth in the 2020 Notes Indenture. In September 2019, the Company used approximately $109.6 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes to repurchase $82.5 million aggregate principal of the 2020 Notes in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase of the 2020 Notes was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, and the consideration transferred was allocated between the equity and liability components by determining the fair value of the conversion option immediately prior to the debt extinguishment and allocating that portion of the repurchase price to additional paid-in capital for $27.1 million, with the residual repurchase price allocated to the liability component, respectively. The partial repurchase of the 2020 Notes resulted in the recognition of a $5.7 million loss on debt extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is recorded in “Loss on convertible debt extinguishment” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In accordance with accounting guidance on embedded conversion features, the conversion feature associated with the 2020 Notes was initially valued at $26.1 million and bifurcated from the host debt instrument and recorded in “Additional paid-in capital.” The resulting debt discount on the 2020 Notes had been amortized to interest expense at the effective interest rate over the contractual terms of the 2020 Notes prior to the maturity date in December 2020. The 2020 Notes became convertible as of December 31, 2019, as the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter was greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the 2020 Notes on each applicable trading day. As a result of the 2020 Notes becoming convertible for cash up to the principal amount of $45.8 million, the Company reclassified the unamortized debt discount for the 2020 Notes in the amount of $2.4 million from “Additional paid-in-capital” to convertible debt in the mezzanine equity section in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, this conversion condition was not present, and accordingly, the Company reclassified this balance from convertible debt in the mezzanine equity section to “Additional paid-in-capital.” In June 2020, the Company exchanged $37.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes for $37.7 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2022 Notes. The fair value of the consideration transferred in the form of the 2022 Notes of $44.4 million was allocated between the equity and liability components as discussed in the 2022 Notes section above. The exchange of the 2020 Notes was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, which resulted in the recognition of a $0.8 million loss on debt extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is recorded in “Loss on convertible debt extinguishment” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Following the exchange, there was a total of $8.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes remaining. On or after September 1, 2020, until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the 2020 Notes were able to convert all or a portion of their 2020 Notes regardless of any conditions. Prior to maturity date, a total of $7.8 million of the principal balance was converted by holders of the 2020 Notes. In accordance with provisions of the 2020 Notes Indenture, conversion was settled in a combination of cash and the Company’s Common Stock. The conversion resulted in the recognition of a $0.5 million loss, which was recorded in “Loss on convertible debt extinguishment” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining principal of $0.3 million matured on December 1, 2020 and was paid in cash. The following table presents interest expense recognized for the 2020 Notes:

Line of Credit On December 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million, based on a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, with a maturity date of October 31, 2020. The Company may use availability under the revolving loan facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The proceeds of the revolving loans may be used for general corporate purposes. During fiscal 2020, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to extend the Credit Agreement maturity date to October 30, 2022 and amend the interest rates for the revolving loans. As amended, the revolving loans bear interest, at the Company’s election, at a floating rate per annum equal to either (1) 2.00% plus the greater of (i) 1 month LIBOR on any day plus 2.50% and (ii) the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal from time to time or (2) 3.00% plus LIBOR for an interest period of one, two or three months. Interest on the revolving loans is payable monthly in arrears, in the case of prime rate loans, and at the end of the applicable interest period, in the case of LIBOR loans. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of the Company, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, undergo certain fundamental changes, make investments, make certain restricted payments, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case, subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company is also required to maintain compliance with an adjusted quick ratio, a minimum EBITDA covenant (tested quarterly) and a minimum liquidity covenant, in each case, determined in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement. There were no revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2020. Relief Loans In June 2020, Harmonic France was granted a loan from Société Générale S.A. (the “SG Loan”) in the aggregate amount of 5,000,000 Euros, pursuant to a state guarantee program introduced in March 2020 to provide relief to companies from the financial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The SG Loan initially matures in 12 months (with an option to extend for up to five years) and bears an effective interest rate of 0.51% per annum payable annually. The SG Loan may be repaid at any time prior to maturity with no repayment penalties. There are no restrictions on the use of funds from the SG Loan. The purpose of the funds from the SG Loan is to allow the preservation of activity and employment in France. As of December 31, 2020, there was $6.1 million outstanding under the loan, which is recorded in “Other debts and finance lease obligations, current” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In April 2020, Harmonic International GmbH was granted a loan of CHF 500,000 from UBS Switzerland AG (the “UBS Loan”) in accordance with a Swiss federal COVID-19 loan guarantee program with an initial maturity of five years. The exclusive purpose of the UBS Loan is to guarantee the Company’s current liability requirements. The UBS Loan does not bear any interest. The UBS Loan is to be repaid in full no later than April 8, 2025. As of December 31, 2020, there was $0.6 million outstanding under the loan, which is recorded in “Other debts and finance lease obligations, long-term” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
