2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon together with any fees and Finance Charges due thereon as and when due in accordance with this Exim Agreement.

2.1.1 Financing of Accounts.

(a) Availability.

(i) Subject to the terms of this Exim Agreement and to the deduction of Reserves, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific Eligible Foreign Accounts. Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance such Eligible Foreign Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible Foreign Account. Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Foreign Account on a case by case basis.

(ii) Subject to the terms of this Exim Agreement and provided that Borrower is Borrowing Base Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance Eligible Foreign Accounts on an aggregate basis. Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance Eligible Foreign Accounts on an aggregate basis by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the aggregate face amount of a summary listing of Eligible Foreign Accounts provided to Bank (the “Aggregate Eligible Foreign Accounts”). Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for the Aggregate Eligible Foreign Accounts on a case by case basis.

(iii) Subject to the terms of this Exim Agreement, including, but not limited to, that Borrower must maintain revenue, tested on a quarterly basis, of at least seventy percent (70%) of Borrower’s projected performance as outlined in Borrower’s Business Plan, Borrower may request that Bank finance Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoices. Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance such Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoices by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoice. Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoice on a case by case basis.

(iv) Any Credit Extension made pursuant to the terms of subsections (i), (ii), or (iii) above shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Advance”. Any Advance made based upon an Eligible Foreign Account shall be he hereinafter referred to as an “Eligible Foreign Account Advance”. Any Advance made based upon Aggregate Eligible Foreign Accounts shall be he hereinafter referred to as an “Aggregate Eligible Foreign Account Advance”. Any Advance made based upon an Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoice shall be he hereinafter referred to as an “Exim Inventory Advance”. When Bank makes an Advance, the Eligible Foreign Account, Aggregate Eligible Foreign Accounts, or Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoice each become a separate “Financed Receivable”.

(b) Maximum Advances; Aggregate Cap; Maximum Exim Inventory Advances and Inventory Advances.

(i) Maximum Advances; Aggregate Cap. The sum of (A) the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding, plus (B) the aggregate amount of Domestic Advances outstanding, shall not at any time exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000).

(ii) Maximum Exim Inventory Advances. Notwithstanding any terms in this Exim Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate principal amount of Exim Inventory Advances outstanding at any time may not exceed the lesser of (i) Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000) or (ii) sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding hereunder. If, at any time, the aggregate amount of Exim Inventory Advances outstanding at any time exceeds the maximum amount set forth in this provision, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in connection with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates for the amount of such excess.

(c) Borrowing Procedure. Borrower will deliver an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and an Export Order signed by a Responsible Officer for each Eligible Foreign Account, Aggregate Eligible Foreign Account, or Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoice it offers. Such documentation shall be accompanied by a Borrowing Base Certificate, if Borrower is then Borrowing Base Eligible, or by invoices, if Borrower is not Borrowing Base Eligible. Bank may rely on information set forth in or provided with the Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal and Export Order.

(d) Credit Quality; Confirmations. Bank may, at its option, conduct a credit check of the Account Debtor for each Account requested by Borrower for financing hereunder in order to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit before agreeing to finance such Account. At all times that Borrower is not Borrowing Base Eligible or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may also verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts (including confirmations of Borrower’s representations in Sections 5.3 and 5.4) by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Bank from time to time in its sole discretion.

(e) Accounts Notification/Collection. Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify and/or collect the amount of the Account.

(f) Early Termination. This Exim Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank; or (ii) by Bank at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately. If this Exim Agreement is terminated (A) by Bank in accordance with clause (ii) in the foregoing sentence, or (B) by Borrower for any reason, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non refundable termination fee in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of months (rounded up to the nearest whole month) remaining until the Maturity Date, times (y) One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) (the “Early Termination Fee”). The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the Early Termination Fee if Bank closes on the refinance and re-documentation of this Exim Agreement under another division of Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the Maturity Date.

(g) Maturity. This Exim Agreement shall terminate and all Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

(h) Suspension of Advances. Borrower’s ability to request that Bank finance Eligible Foreign Accounts, Aggregate Eligible Foreign Accounts and Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoices hereunder will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Exim Agreement.

(i) End of Borrowing Base Eligible Status. On any day that Borrower ceases to be Borrowing Base Eligible, all outstanding Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible Foreign Accounts must be supported by specific Eligible Foreign Accounts and all Exim Inventory Advances shall immediately be deemed to be Advances and must be supported by a specific Eligible Foreign Account. In connection with same, Borrower shall deliver to Bank an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and an Export Order containing detailed invoice reporting, signed by a Responsible Officer together with a current accounts receivable aging and a copy of each invoice, and Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance same (in accordance with this Exim Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof) and each Eligible Foreign Account financed shall thereafter be deemed to be a Financed Receivable for purposes of this Exim Agreement. If, following such determination, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances exceeds the amount of Advances Bank has agreed to make based on specific Eligible Foreign Accounts, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in connection with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates for the amount of such excess.

(j) Overadvances. If, at any time during which Borrower is Borrowing Base Eligible, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances exceeds the lesser of either (i) One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) minus the aggregate amount of Domestic Advances outstanding, or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.

2.2 Collections, Finance Charges, Remittances and Fees. The Obligations shall be subject to the following fees and Finance Charges. Unpaid fees and Finance Charges may, in Bank’s discretion, accrue interest and fees at the Default Rate.

2.2.1 Collections. When Borrower is Borrowing Base Eligible, Collections will be credited to Borrower’s operating account (for the avoidance of doubt, all Collections shall be directed to the Lockbox in accordance with Section 2.2.7 below, even when Borrower is Borrowing Base Eligible). When Borrower is not Borrowing Base Eligible, (i) Collections will be credited to the Financed Receivable Balance for such Financed Receivable and (ii) if Bank receives a payment for both a Financed Receivable and a non-Financed Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable and the excess will be remitted to Borrower, subject to Section 2.9 of this Exim Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply Collections to the Obligations in any order it chooses.

2.2.2 Intentionally omitted.

2.2.3 Finance Charges. In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations under this Exim Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of the Advances upon receipt of the Collections. When Borrower is not Borrowing Base Eligible, Borrower will pay a finance charge (the “Finance Charge”) on each Financed Receivable which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by 360 multiplied by the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding multiplied by the outstanding Financed Receivable Balance. At all times that Borrower is Borrowing Base Eligible, Borrower will pay a Finance Charge on the unpaid principal balance of the Advances which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by the Advance Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) multiplied by the number of days each such Advance is outstanding multiplied by the unpaid principal balance of such Advance. At all times that Borrower is Borrowing Base Eligible the Finance Charge shall be payable monthly on the first day of each month. Borrower will pay a Finance Charge on the Inventory Advances which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360), multiplied by the number of days in such Reconciliation Period, multiplied by the average daily balance of the Inventory Advances during such Reconciliation Period, divided by the applicable Advance Rate. After an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate will increase an additional five percent (5.0%) per annum effective immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default (the “Default Rate”).

2.2.4 Collateral Handling Fee. At all times that Borrower’s Net Cash is equal to or greater than Zero Dollars ($0.00), Borrower shall not pay any Collateral Handling Fee (as hereinafter defined). At all other times, Borrower shall pay to Bank a Collateral Handling Fee equal to two-tenths of one percent (0.20%) per Reconciliation Period of the Financed Receivable Balance for each Financed Receivable outstanding based upon a three hundred sixty (360) day year (the “Collateral Handling Fee”). The Collateral Handling Fee is charged on a daily basis and is equal to the Collateral Handling Fee divided by thirty (30), multiplied by the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding, multiplied by the outstanding Financed Receivable Balance. The Collateral Handling Fee is payable when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is repaid in accordance with Section 2.3 of this Exim Agreement. In computing Collateral Handling Fees under this Exim Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of Obligations upon receipt of the Collections. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Handling Fee will increase an additional 0.50%.

2.2.5 Accounting. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide Borrower with an accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, Collateral Handling Fee and the Facility Fee. If Borrower does not object to the accounting in writing within thirty (30) days it shall be considered accurate. All Finance Charges and other interest and fees are calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed.

2.2.6 Deductions. Bank may deduct fees, Finance Charges, Advances which become due pursuant to Section 2.3, and other amounts due pursuant to this Exim Agreement from any Advances made or Collections received by Bank.

2.2.7 Lockbox; Account Collection Services.

(a) Borrower shall direct each Account Debtor (and each depository institution where proceeds of Accounts are on deposit) to remit payments with respect to the Accounts to a lockbox account established with Bank or to wire transfer payments to a cash collateral account that Bank controls (collectively, the “Lockbox”). It will be considered an immediate Event of Default if the Lockbox is not set-up and operational within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date and at all time thereafter.

(b) Until such Lockbox is established, the proceeds of the Accounts shall be paid by the Account Debtors to an address consented to by Bank. Upon receipt by Borrower of any proceeds of Accounts, Borrower shall immediately transfer and deliver same to Bank, along with a detailed cash receipts journal.

(c) For any time at which such Lockbox is not established, the proceeds of the Accounts shall be paid by the Account Debtors to an address consented to by Bank. Upon receipt by Borrower of such proceeds, Borrower shall immediately transfer and deliver same to Bank, along with a detailed cash receipts journal. During any period when Borrower is Borrowing Base Eligible, provided no Event of Default exists or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, Bank will promptly turn over to Borrower the proceeds of all the Accounts. During any period when Borrower is not Borrowing Base Eligible, provided no Event of Default exists or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within three (3) days of receipt of such amounts by Bank, Bank will turn over to Borrower such proceeds other than (i) Collections applied by Bank pursuant to Section 2.2.1 of this Exim Agreement, and (ii) such proceeds which shall be used by Bank to repay any other amounts due to Bank, such as the Finance Charge, the Collateral Handling Fee, and Bank Expenses; provided, however, Bank may hold any proceeds of the Accounts (whether received by Bank in the Lockbox, directly from Borrower, or otherwise and whether or not in respect of Financed Receivables) as a reserve until the end of the applicable Reconciliation Period if Bank, in its discretion, determines that other Financed Receivable(s) may no longer qualify as an Eligible Account at any time prior to the end of the subject Reconciliation Period. This Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to perform any act other than as specifically set forth herein. All Accounts and the proceeds thereof are Collateral and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank may apply the proceeds of such Accounts to the Obligations.

2.2.8 Bank Expenses. Borrower shall pay all Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, plus expenses, for documentation and negotiation of this Exim Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

2.3 Repayment of Obligations; Adjustments.

Each payment will also include all accrued Finance Charges and Collateral Handling Fees with respect to such Exim Inventory Advance and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.

(d) At any time and from time to time the Borrower may repay all or a portion of the Advances by paying the principal amount thereof and all Finance Charges and Collateral Handling Fees accrued thereon through the date of repayment, provided that any termination of this Exim Agreement in connection with such prepayment shall be done in accordance with Section 2.1.1(f).

2.3.2 Repayment on Event of Default. When there is an Event of Default, Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.3, immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all of the Advances. The demand may, at Bank’s option, include the Advance for each Financed Receivable then outstanding and all accrued Finance Charges, the Early Termination Fee, Collateral Handling Fees, attorneys’ and professional fees, court costs and expenses, and any other Obligations.

2.3.3 Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts for payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank hereunder. Bank shall promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

2.3.4 Adjustments. If at any time during the term of this Exim Agreement any Account Debtor asserts an Adjustment or if Borrower issues a credit memorandum or if any of the representations and warranties in Sections 5.3 or 5.4 or covenants in this Exim Agreement are no longer true in all material respects, Borrower will promptly advise Bank.

2.4 Power of Attorney. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank and its successors and assigns as attorney-in-fact and authorizes Bank, to: (a) following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, compromise, or discharge all or any part of the Financed Receivables; (ii) demand, collect, ▇▇▇, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case or proceeding about the Financed Receivables, including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Bank’s or Borrower’s name, as Bank chooses; and (iii) prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name on any notice, claim, assignment, demand, draft, or notice of or satisfaction of lien or mechanics’ lien or similar document; and (b) regardless of whether there has been an Event of Default, (i) notify all Account Debtors to pay Bank directly; (ii) receive, open, and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower; (iii) endorse Borrower’s name on checks or other instruments (to the extent necessary to pay amounts owed pursuant to this Exim Agreement); and (iv) execute on Borrower’s behalf any instruments, documents, financing statements to perfect Bank’s interests in the Financed Receivables and Collateral and do all acts and things necessary or expedient, as determined solely and exclusively by Bank, to protect or preserve, Bank’s rights and remedies under this Exim Agreement, as directed by Bank.

2.5 Exim Guaranty. To facilitate the financing of Eligible Foreign Accounts, the Exim Bank has agreed to guarantee the Exim Loans made under this Exim Agreement, pursuant to a Master Guarantee Agreement, Loan Authorization Agreement and (to the extent applicable) Delegated Authority Letter Agreement (collectively, the “Exim Guaranty”). If, at any time after the Exim Guaranty has been entered into by Bank, (a) the Exim Guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (b) if the Exim Bank declares the Exim Guaranty void or revokes any obligations thereunder or denies liability thereunder, Borrower shall immediately repay all outstanding Advances hereunder, and Borrower shall cash collateralize all issued and undrawn letters of credit issued by Bank, if any. If, at any time after the Exim Guaranty has been entered into by Bank, for any reason other than as described in the foregoing sentence, (x) the Exim Guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (y) the Exim Bank declares the Exim Guaranty void or revokes any obligations thereunder or denies liability thereunder, any such event shall constitute an Event of Default under this Exim Agreement. Nothing in any confidentiality agreement, in this Exim Agreement or in any other agreement, shall restrict Bank’s right to make disclosures and provide information to the Exim Bank in connection with the Exim Guaranty.

2.6 Exim Borrower Agreement. Borrower shall execute and deliver a Borrower Agreement, in the form specified by the Exim Bank (attached hereto as Annex A), in favor of Bank and the Exim Bank, together with an amendment thereto approved by the Exim Bank to conform certain terms of such Borrower Agreement to the terms of this Exim Agreement (as amended, the “Borrower Agreement”). When the Borrower Agreement is entered into by Borrower and the Exim Bank and delivered to Bank, this Exim Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Borrower Agreement, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has received a copy of the Loan Authorization Agreement which is referred to in the Borrower Agreement. If the Borrower Agreement is entered into by Borrower and the Exim Bank and delivered to Bank, Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Loan Authorization Agreement, including, without limitation, by any additions or revisions made prior to its execution on behalf of Exim Bank.

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 8.3 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 Exim Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c) demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of any letters of credit that are outstanding but undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such letters of credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any letters of credit;

(d) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such account. Borrower shall 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;

(e) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests 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;

(f) 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;

(g) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

(h) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any control agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof); and

(j) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books.

9.2 Bank Expenses; Unpaid Fees. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Exim Agreement or by any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable effort to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.3 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of Collateral in possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible 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. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.4 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Exim Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Exim Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.5 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.

10 NOTICES.

All notices, consents, requests, approvals, demands, or other communication by any party to this Exim Agreement or any other Loan Document must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, or delivered: (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, registered or certified mail return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid; (b) upon transmission, when sent by facsimile transmission; (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid; or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number provided at the beginning of this Exim Agreement.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Exim Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Exim Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS EXIM AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS EXIM AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

12 GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Exim Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party.

12.3 Right of Set-Off. Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest and right of set-off as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank (including a Bank subsidiary) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

12.4 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Exim Agreement.

12.5 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Exim Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

12.6 Amendments in Writing; Integration. All amendments to this Exim Agreement must be in writing signed by both Bank and Borrower. This Exim Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter, and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Exim Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this Exim Agreement and the Loan Documents.

12.7 Counterparts. This Exim Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Exim Agreement.

12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Exim Agreement continue in full force until this Exim Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Exim Agreement) have been satisfied. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Advances (provided, however, Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; and (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

12.10 Borrower Agreement; Cross-Collateralization; Cross-Default; Conflicts. Both this Exim Agreement and the Borrower Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and all rights and remedies under this Exim Agreement and the Borrower Agreement are cumulative. The term “Obligations” as used in this Exim Agreement and in the Borrower Agreement shall include without limitation the obligation to pay when due all loans made pursuant to the Borrower Agreement (the “Exim Loans”) and all interest thereon and the obligation to pay when due all Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Exim Agreement and all interest thereon. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the security interest granted herein covering all “Collateral” as defined in this Exim Agreement and as defined in the Borrower Agreement shall secure all Exim Loans and all Advances and all interest thereon, and all other Obligations. Any Event of Default under this Exim Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under the Borrower Agreement, and any Event of Default under the Borrower Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under this Exim Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Exim Agreement or any other Ex-Im Loan Document, including the Borrower Agreement, any non-payment Event of Default under this Exim Agreement or any other Ex-Im Loan Document, including the Borrower Agreement, shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Domestic Loan Agreement unless the event giving rise to such default also separately constitutes an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of the Domestic Loan Agreement. In the event Bank assigns its rights under this Exim Agreement and/or under any note evidencing Exim Loans and/or its rights under the Borrower Agreement and/or under any note evidencing Advances, to any third party, including, without limitation, the Exim Bank, whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have the right (but not any obligation), in its sole discretion, to allocate and apportion Collateral to the Borrower Agreement and/or note assigned and to specify the priorities of the respective security interests in such Collateral between itself and the assignee, all without notice to or consent of the Borrower. Should any term of the Exim Agreement conflict with any term of the Borrower Agreement, the more restrictive term in either agreement shall govern Borrower.

SPECIALTY FINANCE DIVISION

Compliance Certificate

I, an authorized officer of AEHR TEST SYSTEMS (“Borrower”) certify under the Export-Import Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Exim Agreement”) between Borrower and Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”) as follows for the period ending _____________________________ (all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Exim Agreement):

Borrower represents and warrants for each Financed Receivable (other than Financed Receivables based upon Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoices):

Each Financed Receivable is an Eligible Foreign Account.

Borrower is the owner with legal right to sell, transfer, assign and encumber such Financed Receivable;

The correct amount is on the Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal and is not disputed;

Payment is not contingent on any obligation or contract and Borrower has fulfilled all its obligations as of the Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal date;

Each Financed Receivable is based on an actual sale and delivery of goods and/or services rendered, is due to Borrower, is not past due or in default, has not been previously sold, assigned, transferred, or pledged and is free of any liens, security interests and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens;

There are no defenses, offsets, counterclaims or agreements for which the Account Debtor may claim any deduction or discount;

It reasonably believes no Account Debtor is insolvent or subject to any Insolvency Proceedings;

It has not filed or had filed against it Insolvency Proceedings and does not anticipate any such filing;

Bank has the right to endorse and/ or require Borrower to endorse all payments received on Financed Receivables and all proceeds of Collateral.

No representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statement contained in the certificates or statement not misleading. All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Financed Receivable are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower's Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be.

All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Financed Receivable shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations.

To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to each Financed Receivable are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

Additionally, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state 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. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational 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.

Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. All inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. of 1940, as amended. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, 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 would 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 legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed 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 obtain or make such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

With respect to Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoices, Borrower represents and warrants that all of Borrower’s Inventory which is the subject of any Exim Inventory Placeholder Invoice is and will continue to be Eligible Export-Related Inventory.

The undersigned represents and warrants that as of the date hereof the foregoing is true, complete and correct, that the information reflected in this Compliance Certificate complies with the representations and warranties set forth in the Exim Agreement and the Borrower Agreement each dated August __, 2011, as may be amended from time to time, as if all representations and warranties were made as of the date hereof, and that Borrower is, and shall remain, in full compliance with its agreements, covenants, and obligations under such agreements.
