WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK 

Warrant No.: 6 
 Number of Shares of Common
Stock: 1,578,947 
 Date of Issuance: December 10, 2014 (“Issuance Date”) 

Ikanos Communications, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby certifies that,
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Alcatel-Lucent Participations, S.A., the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to
the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer
or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), One Million Five Hundred Seventy Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Forty Seven (1,578,947) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant
Shares”). Holder’s right to purchase the Warrant Shares shall be exercisable at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 5:30 p.m., San Francisco time, on the Expiration Date. Except as otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16. 
 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 (a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on
any day on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a properly completed and executed written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise
Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) if the conditions for Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(c)) set forth in Section 1(c) are
satisfied, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise. At 5:30 P.M., San Francisco time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and
of no value. The Holder shall not be 







 
required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the
same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which the Company has
received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of
the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise
Delivery Documents, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares may be issued without any
restrictive legends, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Warrant Shares may not be issued without any restrictive legends, issue and dispatch by overnight
courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant
to such exercise, which certificate shall bear the legends specified in Section 17 of this Warrant. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of
the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the
case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the aggregate number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant at the time this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the
number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon such exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with
Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then exercised. The Company
shall pay any and all transfer taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares to the initial Holder upon exercise of this Warrant; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the initial Holder, in either case with respect to any transfer tax due by the Holder with respect to such shares of
Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any other taxes, including any taxes based upon the income of the Holder or applicable withholding taxes, and the Holder (and not the Company) shall
be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholders of the Company and free and clear of all liens. 
 (b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $0.41 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein. 







 (c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to
receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”): 
 Net Number = (A x B) – (A x C) 
     B 

For purposes of the foregoing formula: 
 A=   the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. 
 B=   the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date 
immediately preceding 
         the date of the Exercise Notice. 

C=   the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise. 

(d) Authorized Shares. The Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of
Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Warrants remain outstanding the
Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares
of Common Stock (the “Required Reserve Amount”) as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants then outstanding (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall promptly
take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all of the Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a
meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to
solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. 

(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant
Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed pending resolution of such dispute. 
 (f) Maintain Books. The Company agrees to maintain at its principal executive office books for the registration and transfer of the Warrant. 







 (g) Non-circumvention. The Company covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by
amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, 
 2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. 
 (a)
Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or
after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective. 
 (b) De Minimis Adjustments. No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 in such price, provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this Section 2(b) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustments under Section 2(a). All calculations under Section 2(a) shall be made by the Company in good faith and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as applicable. No adjustment need be made for
a change in the par value or no par value of the Company’s Common Stock. 
 3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.
If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock generally (which dividend or other distribution has not already been given to the Holders of
the Warrants with respect to the Warrant Shares), by way of return of capital or otherwise not addressed by Section 2(a) above (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, indebtedness, property or
options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant and prior to the Expiration
Date, then, in each such case: 
 (a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date
fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock 







 
entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which
(i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors)
applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and 

(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable
pursuant to the Warrant immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the
immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common stock) (“Other Shares of Common Stock”) of a company whose common shares are traded on a national
securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to
those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph
(a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b). 
 4.
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, either (i) Holder shall exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1 and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction or (ii) if the Weighted Average Price of one Warrant Share is greater than the Exercise Price immediately prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction and Holder does not exercise the
Warrant, this Warrant will be deemed exercised in accordance with Section 1(c) immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. 
 5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to
vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this
Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or
otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In
addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. 
 6. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS. 







 (a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred (which transfer shall
be subject to Section 14 hereof), the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes
payable upon the making of such transfer, if any, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right
to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) to the Holder
representing the right to purchase the balance of the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred. 
 (b) Lost, Stolen or
Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking

Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant. 
 (c) Exchangeable
for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated in writing by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided,
however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given. 
 (d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever
the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase

underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, equals the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, which is the same as
the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant. 
 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND

into and issue the Warrant and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Warrant has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further consent

availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies. 







 (b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Warrant does not (i) conflict with any of the Company’s organizational documents, (ii) violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any
Governmental Authority by which the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval

subsidiaries are bound. 
 (c) Reservation of Shares. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

required or permitted to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 15 of this Warrant. The Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) promptly upon any

such notice being provided to the Holder. 
 9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions
of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of Holder. 

10. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning
the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of
Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. 
 11. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would
otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues 







 
to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in
question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). 

12. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be
construed against any person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any
failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 
 14. TRANSFER. Subject to applicable law,
this Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without the consent of the Company; provided that any transfer shall comply with the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws and regulations; and provided further that
the Holder may not knowingly offer for sale, sell, transfer or assign this Warrant to a competitor of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Company. Any transfer shall be registered in the
books maintained at the Company’s principal executive office for the registration and transfer of the Warrant.
