Further
to our recent discussions, the purpose of this letter is to outline the manner in which Unity proposes to acquire the business of Ultratech. We recognize that the transaction will require

commercially reasonable loan agreement and provided a general security agreement against its assets. 

(b) From
and after closing, Unity will also loan Ultratech up to another $500,000 in working capital, on terms and conditions to be agreed upon. This loan shall also be secured by a general
security agreement against all the assets of Ultratech.
