                   TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

        THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of September 12, 2001, is made by and between
AML Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Jacob
Inbar (the "Executive").

                                   WITNESSETH

               WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board")
        recognizes the valuable services of the Executive to the Company since
        its inception, and as such recognizes the need to compensate the
        Executive in case of termination.

               WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential and in the
        best interest of the Company and its stockholders to retain the services
        of the Executive in the event of a threat or occurrence of a Change in
        Control (as defined below) and to ensure his continued dedication and
        efforts in such event without undue concern for his personal financial
        and employment security.

               NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective covenants and
        agreements set forth below and other good and valuable consideration,
        the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties
        hereto agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

1.      Terms of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof.

2.      Definitions.

        2.1.   Base Amount. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Base Amount"
               shall mean $185,000 or the Executive's annual base salary at the
               rate in effect immediately prior to the Termination, whichever is
               higher and shall include all amounts of his base salary that are
               deferred under any other agreement or arrangement with the
               Company.

        2.2.   Termination.  For the purposes of this Agreement, Termination
               shall occur under the following circumstances:

               (a)    Disability. If the Company in good faith, after
                      considering all relevant medical evidence, establishes
                      that the Executive has incurred a Disability (as defined
                      below) during his term of employment, such party may give
                      the Executive notice of their intention to terminate the
                      Executive's employment with the Company.

                      "Disability" shall mean the Executive's failure to perform
                      his duties to the Company for a total of 16 consecutive
                      weeks during any 12- month period as a result of
                      incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is
                      determined to be total and permanent by a physician
                      selected by the Company and acceptable to the Executive or
                      the Executive's legal representative (such agreement as to
                      acceptability not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned
                      unreasonably)

               (b)    Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment
                      for Good Reason. For the purpose of this Agreement, the
                      Executive shall have "Good Reason" to terminate his
                      employment with the Company in the event of (i) any
                      reduction in the Executive's compensation (including
                      Annual Base Salary, Bonus Compensation and Benefits, but
                      excluding any termination or amendment of Benefits
                      pursuant to a termination or amendment generally of the
                      plan or arrangements relating thereto and excluding
                      discretionary bonuses or similar discretionary payments),
                      without the Executive's consent;


<PAGE>


                      (ii) any material breach by the Company of, or default by
                      it; provided, however, that in the case of any breach or
                      default, the Executive shall provide the Company with
                      written notice of such breach at least 30 days in advance
                      of his intended termination date and a reasonable
                      opportunity and period of time to cure such breach or
                      default (provided, further, however, if the Company cures
                      such breach, the Executive shall not have Good Reason to
                      Terminate his employment with the Company); (iii) any
                      substantial diminution of duties, responsibilities or
                      status, or other imposition by the Company of unreasonable
                      requirements or working conditions on the Executive which
                      are not withdrawn or corrected in all material respects
                      within a 30-day period following notice by the Executive
                      to the Company of such diminution or imposition or, if any
                      of the foregoing arose because of conditions or
                      circumstances outside the control of the Company, such
                      longer period, but not longer than 90 days, as may be
                      reasonably required under the circumstances.

               (c)    Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's
                      employment hereunder Without Cause upon 30 days' written
                      notice.

               (d)    Mutual Agreement. The Executive's employment may be
                      terminated by Mutual Agreement between the Executive and
                      the Company at any time.


        2.3.   Change in Control. For the purposed of this Agreement, a "Change
               in Control" shall mean any consolidation or merger of the Company
               with or into another corporation or corporations in which the
               stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the
               consolidation or merger do not retain a majority of the voting
               power of the surviving corporation or a sale of all or
               substantially all of the assets of the Company

        2.4.   Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, the "Company" shall
               include the Company's "Successors and Assigns" (as hereunder
               defined)

        2.5    Successors and Assigns. For the purposes of this Agreement,
               Successors and Assigns" shall mean a corporation or other entity
               acquiring all or substantially all the assets and business of the
               Company whether by operation of law or otherwise, and any
               affiliate of such Successors and Assigns.

3.      Payment Upon Termination.

        3.1    Termination. Upon termination of the Executive, for other than
               Change in Control or Cause, the Company shall pay the Executive
               or the Executive's beneficiaries or estate or legal
               representatives in a single payment an amount in cash equal to
               the Base Amount divided by 12, multiplied by the number of years
               of service rendered by the Executive since the Company's
               inception in 1986, including the interrupted period from February
               1999 to February 2001.

        3.2    Change in Control. If the Executive is terminated within 18
               months after Change in Control has occurred, and has not been
               subject to termination in accordance with 3.1, the Company shall
               pay the Executive in a single payment an amount in cash equal to
               two (2) times the Base Amount.

        3.3    Bonus. Upon termination of the Executive, the Company shall pay
               the Executive or the Executive's beneficiaries or estate or legal
               representatives (in the case of termination due to death or
               disability), a bonus equal to the average of the annual bonuses
               received by the Executive in the two (2) years prior to the
               Termination.

        3.4    Benefits. All benefits, not limited to, any medical, dental,
               retirement, disability, life insurance or arrangements made
               available by the Company to any of its employees shall be
               extended to the Executive for the duration covered i.e. one month
               for each year of service.

        other employment to mitigate damages, and any income earned by the

        succession or assignment had taken place. Neither this Agreement nor any
        right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by
        Executive, his beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or
        by law of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the

        limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any benefit,
        bonus, incentive or other program provided by the Company and for which
        the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce
        such rights as the Executive may have under any other agreements with
        the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is
        otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Company
        shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program.
