If Letters of Credit may be requested, check here: þ and attach Letter of Credit Rider following
signature page hereof.

	1.	 	Using the Account. All loans and advances from the Loan Account are referred to in this
Agreement as “Loans”. Loan requests must be by telephone and confirmed in writing (including
by facsimile) and shall be sent to the Company’s Bank of Montreal Account Officer or Client
Services Officer no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed borrowing in order to be
honored the same day. Loan proceeds shall be credited to the Company’s deposit account at the
Lender unless the Lender is directed otherwise by special written directions from the Company.
The amount of each Loan requested shall be at least the minimum amount shown above, and the
Lender shall have the right to refuse to honor any Loan requested by the Company which is less
than the minimum amount, even if the Lender has previously honored a Loan request for less
than the minimum amount. The Company shall not request any Loan or letter of credit which,
when taken together with the Loans and principal amount of letters of credit then outstanding,
would exceed the Maximum Credit. If Loans or letters of credit are secured directly or
indirectly by securities traded on a national exchange or by other “margin stock” (as defined
by the Federal Reserve Board in Regulation U), then the Company promises to furnish the Lender
a duly executed and completed Form U-1 statement and agrees that the proceeds of Loans or
other extensions of credit from the Loan Account will not be used to purchase or carry stock,
convertible bonds or warrants unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the
Lender. In no event shall the proceeds of any Loans be utilized to finance participation in a
hostile tender offer or similar transaction or to finance an acquisition of securities in
anticipation of such a hostile transaction.
	 
	 	 	Loans and letters of credit will be made available from the Loan Account subject to the
Lender’s approval on a case-by-case basis as and when Loans and letters of credit are
requested by the Company.
	 
	 	 	All Loans and letters of credit shall be made against and evidenced by the Company’s
promissory note payable to the order of the Lender in the principal amount of $20,000,000,
such note to be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Note”). The Lender agrees
that notwithstanding the fact that the Note is in the principal amount of $20,000,000, it
shall evidence only the actual unpaid principal balance of Loans made under the Loan Account
and the unpaid reimbursement obligations under letters of credit issued pursuant hereto. All
Loans and other extensions of credit made against the Note and the status of all amounts
evidenced by the Note shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and records or, at its
option in any instance, endorsed on a schedule to the Note and the unpaid principal balance
and status and rates so recorded or endorsed by the Lender shall be prima facie evidence in
any court or other proceeding brought to enforce the Note of the principal amount remaining
unpaid thereon, the status of the Loans and other extensions of credit evidenced thereby and
the interest rates applicable thereto, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of
the Lender to record any of the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Company to repay the principal amount of the Note together with accrued interest
thereon. The Lender agrees that if it transfers or assigns the Note, the Lender will stamp
thereon a statement of the actual principal amount evidenced thereby at the time of
transfer. The Company agrees that in any action or proceeding instituted to collect or
enforce collection of the Note, the amount shown as owing the Lender on its records shall be prima facie evidence of the unpaid balance of principal and interest on
the Note, absent manifest error.

	2.	 	Interest. The Company shall pay the Lender interest on the unpaid principal balance of Loans
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, accrued interest
will be billed monthly, and is due by the later of the last day of each month and the 15th day
after the Company’s receipt of such bill (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest for
each billing period is computed by applying a daily periodic rate based on the Lender’s Prime
Rate plus 0.50% to each day’s ending Loan balance. Interest shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed. The Lender’s Prime Rate reflects
market rates of interest as well as other factors, and it is not necessarily the Lender’s best
or lowest rate. The daily Loan balance shall be computed by taking the principal balance of
Loans at the beginning of each day, adding any Loans posted to the Loan Account that day, and
subtracting any principal payments posted to the Loan Account as of that day. Interest begins
to accrue on the date a Loan is posted to the Loan Account. The principal balance of Loans
which remains unpaid after fourteen (14) business days after written demand for repayment
shall bear interest until paid in full at a post-maturity rate of 2% per annum above the
interest rate otherwise applicable to the Loans (determined as aforesaid). The interest rate
payable under this Agreement shall be subject, however, to the limitation that such interest
rate shall never exceed the highest rate which the Company may contract to pay under
applicable law. Interest on the Loans shall, at the option of the Company and subject to the
following terms and conditions, be payable either (i) in immediately available funds on each
Interest Payment Date in accordance with this paragraph 2, or (ii) by adding such interest to
the unpaid principal balance of the Loans on each Interest Payment Date, in which event such
interest shall become a like amount of the principal of the Note (a borrowing of a Loan of
like amount) which the Company hereby promises to pay as hereinafter set forth, or (iii) by
any combination of the methods described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii)
selected by the Company which results in such methods being applied in the satisfaction in
full of all interest due on the Loans on such Interest Payment Date:

     (i) Unless the Company notifies the Lender that the Company intends to pay the interest
due on the Loans on each Interest Payment Date with funds not borrowed under this Agreement,
the Company shall be deemed to have irrevocably requested a Loan on each Interest Payment
Date in the amount of the interest then due on the Loans, in each case subject to the
provisions of this Agreement (other than the requirement that a Loan be in a certain minimum
amount), which new Loan shall be applied to pay the interest then due on the Loans. In the
event the Company has elected to pay the interest due on the Loans with funds not borrowed
under this Agreement and the Company fails to make any such payment within twenty (20) days
after the applicable Interest Payment Date the Lender may in its sole discretion deem the
Company to have irrevocably requested a Loan in the amount of the interest then due on the
Loans, in each case subject to the provisions of this Agreement (other than the requirement
that a Loan be in a certain minimum amount) which new Loans shall be applied to pay the
interest then due on the Loans.

     (ii) Each payment of interest by a borrowing of a Loan shall be evidenced by the Note,
shall bear interest from the date made at a rate per annum equal at all times to the rate
then applicable to the Loans, payable on written demand, provided that the Company shall
have fourteen (14) business days to honor any such demand for payment, but if no demand is
made then such interest shall be payable on the later of the last day of each calendar month
and fifteen (15) days after the Company’s receipt of the monthly interest statement
(commencing on the first of such dates following such issuance) and, subject to the
provisions of paragraph 9 herein, on written demand.

     (iii) In no event shall the unpaid principal balance of all Loans and letters of
credit, including, without limitation, each borrowing of a Loan to pay interest then due on
the Loans, exceed the Maximum Credit.

	3.	 	Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Lender a non-refundable Closing Fee in the amount of
$40,000.

-3-

 

	4.	 	Guaranty. Pegasus Partners IV, L.P. (the “Guarantor”) shall at all times guarantee (the
”Guaranty”) all Loans and reimbursement obligations in connection with letters of credit
issued pursuant to this Agreement.

	5.	 	Maturity Date; Payments. The Company shall pay to the Lender the principal balance of
outstanding Loans together with any accrued interest On Written Demand, provided that
the Company shall have fourteen (14) business days to honor any demand for payment hereunder
and if no written demand is made, not later than one (1) year from the date hereof, and shall
post cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn stated
amount of the letters of credit and any unreimbursed draws thereunder On Written Demand,
provided that the Company shall have fourteen (14) business days to honor any demand for
cash collateral hereunder.  Payments received by the Lender on the
Loans shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principal balance of
outstanding Loans unless otherwise directed. If any payment from the Company under this
Agreement becomes due on a Saturday, Sunday, or a day which is a legal holiday for banks or
other financial institutions in the State of Illinois, such payment shall be made on the next
bank business day and any such extension shall be included in computing interest under this
Agreement.

	6.	 	Periodic Statements. The Lender will furnish the Company with a monthly statement for each
billing period which has any transaction or balance.

	7.	 	Financial Statements. So long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company agrees to furnish
financial information of the Company to the Lender upon reasonable request of the Lender from
time to time. Such information shall be furnished as soon as reasonably possible, but in any
event within 30 days after request by the Lender (to the extent that such financial
information is readily available or can be prepared within such 30-day period, otherwise as
soon as practicable thereafter). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall deliver:

     As soon as available, and in any event within 150 days after the close of
fiscal year 2008 and within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year of the
Company thereafter, a copy of the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of the close of each fiscal year and the consolidated statements of
income, retained earnings and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for
such period, and accompanying notes thereto, each in reasonable detail showing in
comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, accompanied by an
unqualified opinion thereon of Turner Stone and Co. or RSM McGladrey & Pullen or
another firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing,
selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, to the effect
that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present
fairly in all material respects in accordance with GAAP the consolidated financial
condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal year
and the results of their operations and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended.

	8.	 	Representations and Warranties. In consideration of establishing and maintaining the Loan
Account, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that: (a) the Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its state of
incorporation; (b) the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this
Agreement, the Note and all documents executed in connection therewith and any and all
Applications delivered in connection with the issuance of letters of credit hereunder
(collectively, the “Loan Documents”) are within its powers, have been duly authorized by all
necessary action, and do not contravene the Company’s articles of incorporation or

-4-

 

	 	 	bylaws or
any law or material contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Company; (c) no
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the Company’s due execution,
delivery, and performance of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) this Agreement
is and the other Loan Documents when executed and delivered by the Company will be, the
Company’s legal, valid, and binding obligation enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief laws from time to time
in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the availability
of equitable remedies; (e) the Company is not engaged in the business of extending credit
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U
issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no proceeds of the
Loans will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock; (f) except as disclosed in the
Company’s public filings, there is no pending or threatened action or proceeding affecting
the Company before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which could reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or operations
or which purports to affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents; and (g) no credit extended hereunder shall be utilized to finance
participation in a hostile tender offer or similar transaction or to finance an acquisition
of securities in anticipation of such a hostile transaction.

	9.	 	Demand Obligation; Enforcement. The Loans are payable “On Written Demand”, provided
that the Company shall have fourteen (14) business days to honor any demand for payment
hereunder. Accordingly, the Lender can demand payment in full of the Loans and can demand the
posting of cash collateral with respect to the letters of credit in accordance with Section 5
of this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion even if the Company has complied with all
of the terms of this Agreement.
	 
	 	 	No delay by the Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver
thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

paid by the Lender in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the Loan Account

the Lender against any amounts at any time due and owing under this Agreement.

	10.	 	Termination; Renewal. The availability of additional Loans and letters of credit under this
Agreement will automatically terminate On Written Demand. The Lender reserves the
right at any time without notice to terminate the Loan Account, suspend the Company’s
borrowing privileges or refuse any Loan or letter of credit request even though the Company
has complied with all of the terms under this Agreement. The Company may terminate this
Agreement at any time effective upon receipt by the Lender of at least 15 days prior written notice. No termination under this Section shall affect the Lender’s rights or
the Company’s obligations regarding payment or default under this Agreement. Such
termination shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay all Loans and other obligations
and the interest accrued through the date of final payment. The Lender may also elect to
honor Loan and letter of credit requests after 

-5-

matter hereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are
superseded hereby. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Note or
any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the Company therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender. If any part
of this Agreement is unenforceable, that will not make any other part unenforceable. This
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

	12.	 	Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State

the Company or Guarantor delivers to the Lender (provided that any and all information relating to the Guarantor’s capital commitments and
any financial information delivered to the Lender pursuant to Section 7 herein or Section 12

participations to one or more other commercial banks or other financial institutions any Loan

Letter of Credit Rider

          This Letter of Credit Rider is hereby made an integral part of and deemed by the parties
hereto to be incorporated within the foregoing Bank of Montreal Loan Authorization Agreement, dated
as of July 25, 2008 (the “Agreement”), between Bank of Montreal, Chicago, Illinois
(“Lender”) and Lighting Science Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”).

          In consideration of the agreement by the Lender to consider issuing a letter of credit applied
for by the Company pursuant to the Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

	1.	 	The Company may, in addition to requesting that the Lender make Loans under the Agreement,
also request that the Lender issue letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account
of the Company under the Agreement in a stated amount not to exceed $20,000,000 at any one
time. The Maximum Credit under the Agreement shall be deemed utilized by an amount equal to
the sum of (i) the aggregate undrawn stated amount of the Letters of Credit plus (ii) any
unreimbursed draws thereunder (such sum, the “L/C Obligations”); provided, that the Maximum
Credit shall not be deemed utilized to the extent any such Letters of Credit have been cash
collateralized in an amount not less than 105% of the amount of L/C Obligations outstanding at
such time.

	2.	 	The issuance of the Letters of Credit under the Agreement shall be at the Lender’s sole
discretion and shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Company and the Lender
shall mutually agree upon at the issuance thereof. The Company shall request a Letter of
Credit by completing an application and indemnity agreement therefor (an “Application”) on the
standard form of the Lender then in use for such type of Letters of Credit.

	3.	 	No Letters of Credit will be issued by the Lender under the Agreement with a termination date
later than the earlier of (i) one year from its date of issuance (although such Letter of
Credit may have an automatic renewal feature) and (ii) the Maturity Date, if any, under the
Application.

	4.	 	The Company shall pay to the Lender a fee for the Letters of Credit at the rate set forth in
the Application therefor (computed on the basis of a 365 day year for the actual number of
days elapsed). In addition, the Company shall pay to the Lender its standard issuance,
drawing, negotiation, amendment, and other administrative fees relating to the Letters of
Credit at the rates in effect from time to time.

	5.	 	Letter of Credit fees or L/C Obligations shall, at the option of the Company and subject to
the following terms and conditions, be payable either (i) in immediately available funds on
the date a Letter of Credit is drawn upon (the “L/C Payment Date”), or (ii) by adding such
Letter of Credit fees or L/C Obligations to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans on each
L/C Payment Date, in which event such fees and reimbursement obligations shall become a like
amount of the principal of the Note (a borrowing of a Loan of like amount) which the Company
hereby promises to pay in accordance with the Agreement, or (iii) by any combination of the
methods described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) selected by the Company
which results in such methods being applied in the satisfaction in full of all Letter of
Credit fees or L/C Obligations due on such L/C Payment Date:

     (i) Unless the Company notifies the Lender that the Company intends to pay the Letter
of Credit fees or L/C Obligations due on each L/C Payment Date with funds not borrowed under
the

 

 

Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have irrevocably requested a Loan on each L/C
Payment Date in the amount of the fees and reimbursement obligations then due on the Letters
of Credit, in each case subject to the provisions of the Agreement (other than the
requirement that a Loan be in a certain minimum amount), which new Loan shall be applied to
pay the fees and reimbursement obligations then due on the Letters of Credit. In the event
the Company has elected to pay the Letter of Credit fees and L/C Obligations with funds not
borrowed under the Agreement and the Company fails to make any such payment within twenty
(20) days after the applicable L/C Payment Date the Lender may in its sole discretion deem
the Company to have irrevocably requested a Loan on each L/C Payment Date in the amount of
the fees and reimbursement obligations then due on the Letters of Credit, in each case
subject to the provisions of the Agreement (other than the requirement that a Loan be in a
certain minimum amount), which new Loan shall be applied to pay the fees and reimbursement
obligations then due on the Letters of Credit.

     (ii) Each payment of Letter of Credit fees or L/C Obligations by a borrowing of a Loan
shall be evidenced by the Note, shall bear interest from the date made at a rate per annum
equal at all times to the Prime Rate, as applicable, payable on the later of the last day of
each calendar month and fifteen (15) days after the Company’s receipt of the monthly
interest statement (commencing on the first of such dates following such issuance) and,
subject to the provisions of paragraph 5 of the Agreement, on demand.

     (iii) In no event shall the unpaid principal balance of all Loans and the stated face
amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, including, without limitation, each
borrowing of a Loan to pay interest then due on the Loans or to pay Letter of Credit fees or
L/C Obligations, exceed the Maximum Credit.

	6.	 	The representations and warranties of the Company in the Agreement shall be deemed to be made
by the Company on each day an Application is executed by the Company, and shall be deemed to
refer to each Application in the same manner and to the same extent as they refer to the
Agreement and the Note.

	7.	 	At any time during the term of the Agreement, the Lender may require that the Company deliver
to the Lender, and the Company hereby agrees to deliver to the Lender upon its written request
therefor at any such time (provided that the Company shall have fourteen (14) business days to
honor any such request), cash collateral to secure the Company’s obligations under the
Applications in an amount not less than 105% of the amount of L/C Obligations outstanding at
such time. At any time when the availability of additional Loans under the Agreement
terminates pursuant to the terms thereof, the Company will no longer be permitted to request
the issuance of Letters of Credit thereunder.

	8.	 	The Lender may, at its option, elect to issue Letters of Credit at such of its branches or
offices as the Lender may from time to time elect.

PCA and you have agreed to execute this side letter (this “Side Letter”) in anticipation of the
execution of the Guaranty and Loan Agreement (together, the “Transaction”).

     Upon closing of the Transaction, you agree to promptly pay PCA a nonrefundable transaction fee

5. Miscellaneous.

     This Side Letter may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have
been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties
need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile
signature page were an original thereof.

     Each of the parties to this Side Letter shall execute such documents and perform such further
acts as may be reasonably required or necessary to carry out or to perform the provisions of this

jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Side Letter, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such
action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a New York state or federal court. Each
party irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a
defense or otherwise any claims that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the above court, that
such action is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such action is improper. Each
party irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action, suit or
proceeding by the delivery of such process to such party at the address set forth on the first page
