BUSINESS LETTER OF OFFER

National Australia Bank Limited

and

S&W Seed Company Australia Pty Ltd ACN/ARBN/ABN 061 114 814
"you"

Your aggregate Business Lending with NAB and why this matters

The aggregate of our business finance credit exposures to you and your related
(business) entities is used to determine if you are a Small Business. The
Banking Code applies to our relationship with you if you are a small business as
defined in the Banking Code. However, we will also treat you as a Small
Business, and therefore apply the Banking Code, when the total of our business
finance credit exposures to you and your related (business) entities is less
than AUD$5,000,000.

The table below sets out business facilities you have with us, and our business
finance credit exposures under those facilities. Some of your Facility Limits
may be denominated in a foreign currency, however, we have converted these to an
Australian dollar figure for the purposes of the table below. You should always
check your Facility Limit by referring to the specific Facility Details.

If your Facility Limit is denominated in a foreign currency as described in the
Facility Details, then that is your Facility Limit and the Australian dollar
equivalent below is indicative only and could change according to changes in the
exchange rate.

We may also have other business finance credit exposures to you and your related
(business) entities under separate agreements. These need to be taken into
account to determine whether you are a Small Business for the purposes of this
Agreement.
