This AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated as of the Effective Date, between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”), whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 and ADVANCED ANALOGIC TECHNOLOGIES, INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), whose address is 830 East Arques Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94085 provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus (i) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), (ii) minus the Cash Management Services Sublimit and minus (iii) the FX Reserve. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit. Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account not exceeding the Committed Revolving minus (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus (ii) the Cash Management Services Sublimit, and (iii) minus the FX Reserve; however, the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may not exceed the Committed Revolving Line. Borrower’s

reimbursement obligation relating to any such Letters of Credit shall be secured by cash upon termination of this Agreement for Letters of Credit which remain outstanding at such time. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.

2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line, then Borrower may enter in foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Bank will subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit which is the Committed Revolving Line (the “FX Reserve”). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit. Borrower may use cash management services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the “Cash Management Services”) in an amount up to the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower and any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line.

2.2 Overadvances. If Borrower’s Obligations under Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 exceed the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the excess.

2.3 Interest Rate, Payments Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at the per annum rate equal to the greater of either (i) 0.25 of one percentage point (0.25%) above the Prime Rate or (ii) 5.75% . After an Event of Default, Advances accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on the 14^th of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts including Account Number 3300235902 for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional interest shall accrue.

2.4 Bank Expenses

Borrower will pay all Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after the date of this Agreement, which expenses are payable when due.

-2-

2.5 Prepayment

Borrower shall have the option at any time during the term of this Agreement to prepay all Obligations, without a premium or penalty, and thereupon to terminate this Agreement together with the Bank’s commitments and other undertakings hereunder, subject to the survival of the indemnity provisions as set forth herein and in any other Loan Documents.

3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS

3.1 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions. Bank’s obligations to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the following:

(a) timely receipt of any Payment/Advance Form; and

(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be materially true on the date of the Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing, or result from the Credit Extension. Each Credit Extension is Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties of Section 5 remain true in all material respects unless such representation or warranty solely relates to an earlier date.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1 Grant of Security Interest Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest granted herein does not extend to and the term “Collateral” does not include any license or contract rights to the extent (i) the granting of a security interest in it would be contrary to applicable law, or (ii) that such rights are nonassignable by their terms (but only to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law or the Code) without the consent of the licensor or other party (but only to the extent such consent has not been obtained). Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any license or other agreement that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition. Without prior notice to Bank, Borrower shall not enter into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition. Borrower shall take such steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for such licenses or contract rights to be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future.

-3-

4.2 Authorization to File Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to perfect or protect Bank’s interest in the Collateral.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Except to the extent Borrower has given notice thereof to Bank in writing, Borrower has not changed its state of formation or its organizational structure or type or any organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of formation.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.2 Collateral Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens or Borrower has Rights to each asset that is Collateral. Borrower has no other deposit account, other than the deposit accounts described in the Schedule. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed, shipped or licensed to the account debtor. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse) within the United States without first providing Bank with a warehouseman’s lien waiver or equivalent, in form and substance acceptable to Bank. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any Collateral to such a bailee, then Borrower will receive the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower has no notice of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are a Domestic Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate. All Inventory, excluding Inventory processed and stored outside the United States, is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

5.3 Litigation Except as shown in the Schedule or as described in Borrower’s S-1 registration statement, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.4 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

-4-

5.5 Solvency The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.6 Regulatory Compliance Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than in compliance in all material respects with the law. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed, or obtained appropriate extensions for filing with respect to, all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.7 Investments in Subsidiaries Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.8 Full Disclosure No material written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank in connection with, or in contemplation of entering into this Agreement and related documents, when taken together with all such written certificates and written statements to Bank and Borrower’s 10-Q and 10-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading; it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results.

-5-

6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Borrower will do all of the following for so long as Bank has an obligation to lend, or there are outstanding Obligations:

6.1 Government Compliance Borrower will maintain its and its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations. Borrower will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which such Person is subject, to the extent that noncompliance therewith could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

6.2 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates Borrower will deliver to Bank: (i) as soon as available, but no later than 45 days after the last day of each fiscal quarter, a compliance certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in the form of Exhibit D, and (ii) a prompt report of any legal actions pending or threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

6.3 Inventory; Returns Borrower will keep all Inventory in good and marketable condition, free from material defects, except for those Inventory processed and stored outside the United States. Returns and allowances between Borrower and its account debtors will follow Borrower’s customary practices in Borrower’s industry.

6.5 Insurance Borrower will keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for Borrower’s industry. All property policies will have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as loss payee and all liability policies will show the Bank as an additional insured and provide that the insurer must give Bank at least 20 days notice before canceling its policy. At Bank’s request, Borrower will deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at Borrower’s option, be payable to Borrower to replace the property subject to the claim, provided that any such replacement property shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, at Bank’s option, proceeds payable under any casualty policy will be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

-6-

7.1 Dispositions Convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer, all or any part of its business or property (other than the use of cash or cash equivalents in a manner that is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents), except for (i) Transfers of Inventory in the ordinary course of business; (ii) Transfers of non-exclusive licenses and similar arrangements for the use of the property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (iii) Transfers of non-perpetual exclusive licenses in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business (provided that such exclusive licenses are limited to specified fields of use, or specific geographic location, or custom products developed for the exclusive use of a particular customer approved by at least one of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, and do not in each case or in the aggregate constitute a sale of the Intellectual Property that is the subject of such licenses); (iv) Transfers of unneeded, worn-out or obsolete Equipment; (v) other Transfers of assets having book values which in the aggregate do not exceed $1,000,000; (vi) Transfers of Intellectual Property developed by the Borrower which is unrelated to the design and manufacture of products sold in connection with Borrower’s primary business; (vii) Transfers consisting of Permitted Investments, and (viii) other Transfers permitted under Section 7.3 hereof.

Cause a Change of Control to occur. Without contemporaneous written notice, relocate its chief executive office, change its state of formation (including reincorporation), change its organizational number or name or add any new offices or business locations (such as warehouses) in which Borrower maintains or stores Collateral with a book value of greater than $250,000, provided, however, that Borrower need not give such notice with respect to locations outside of the United States and Canada.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Subsidiary may merge or consolidate into another Subsidiary or into Borrower.

7.4 Indebtedness Create, incur, assume, or be liable for any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, other than Permitted Indebtedness.

7.5 Encumbrance Create, incur, or allow any Lien on any of its property, or assign or convey any right to receive income, including the sale of any Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so, except for Permitted Liens, or permit any Collateral not to be subject to the first priority security interest granted here, subject to Permitted Liens.

7.7 Transactions with Affiliates Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower except for (a) transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a nonaffiliated Person, (b) transactions constituting Permitted Investments and (c) transactions with Subsidiaries are permitted in Section 7, (d) transactions set forth on the Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall notify Bank of any transaction under clause (a) of this Section 7.7 no later than 10 days after the consummation of such transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, compensation arrangements for Borrower’s senior executive officers shall not to the requirements of this Section 7.7, to the extent that such arrangements are approved by Borrower’s Board of Directors.

7.8 Subordinated Debt Make or permit any payment on any Subordinated Debt, except under the terms of the Subordinated Debt, or amend any provision in any document relating to the Subordinated Debt without Bank’s prior written consent.

8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Any one of the following is an Event of Default:

8.1 Payment Default If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within 3 Business Days after their due date (other than Bank Expenses, as defined in Section 13.1, within 10 days after their due date), however, during such period no Credit Extensions will be made);

8.2 Covenant Default If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Section 6.2 or 6.7 or violates any of the covenants contained in Section 7 of this Agreement, or

(b) If Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other material term, provision, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan Documents, or in any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to cure such default within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made during such cure period);

8.3 Material Adverse Change If (i) a material impairment in the perfection or priority of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral or in the value of such Collateral other than normal depreciation which is not covered by adequate insurance occurs; or (ii) Bank determines, based on information available to it and in its reasonable judgment, that there is a substantial likelihood that Borrower will fail to comply with the covenants in Section 6.7 (the foregoing being defined as a “Material Adverse Change”);

8.4 Attachment If any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver and the attachment, seizure or levy is not removed in 10 days, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of its business or if a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien on a material portion of Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any of Borrower’s assets by any government agency and not paid within 10 days after Borrower receives notice. These are not Events of Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);

-9-

8.5 Insolvency If Borrower becomes insolvent or if Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding or an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within 45 days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);

8.6 Other Agreements If there is a default in any agreement between Borrower and a third party that gives the third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness exceeding $2,000,000;

8.7 Judgments If a money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $2,000,000 is rendered against Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for 30 days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before the judgment is stayed or satisfied); or

8.8 Misrepresentations If Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any material misrepresentation or material misstatement now or later in any warranty or representation in this Agreement or in any communication delivered to Bank or to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable; notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

-10-

(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral; and

(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2 Power of Attorney Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Bank Expenses If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Bank’s Liability for Collateral If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9207 of the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Except as provided above, Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.5 Remedies Cumulative Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.6 Demand Waiver Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
