 Borrower’s financial statements or in writing to Lender and as accepted by
 Lender, and except for property tax liens for taxes not presently due and

 Hazardous
 Substances. Except as disclosed to and acknowledged
 by Lender in writing, Borrower represents and warrants that: (1) During the

 of the Collateral. (2) Borrower has no knowledge of, or reason to believe
 that there has been (a) any breach or violation of any Environmental Laws;
 (b) any use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release

 Collateral by any prior owners or occupants of any of the Collateral; or (c)
 any actual or threatened litigation or claims of any kind by any person
 relating to such matters. (3) Neither Borrower nor any tenant, contractor,
 agent or other authorized user of any of the Collateral shall use, generate,

 to make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to
 determine compliance of the Collateral with this section of the Agreement.
 Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be at Borrower’s expense and
 for Lender’s purposes only and shall not be construed to create any
 responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrower or to any other
 person. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on
 Borrower’s due diligence in investigating the Collateral for hazardous waste
 and Hazardous Substances. Borrower hereby (1) releases and waives any future
 claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower
 becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and (2) agrees
 to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims,
 losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses, including attorneys’
 fees, consultants’ fees, and costs which Lender may directly or indirectly
 sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement or
 as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal,
 release or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance on the
 Collateral. The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the
 obligation to indemnify and defend, shall survive the payment of the
 Indebtedness and the termination, expiration or satisfaction of this
 Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender’s acquisition of any interest
 in any of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

 Lien Priority.
 Unless otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in writing, Borrower has not
 entered into or granted any Security Agreements, or permitted the filing or
 attachment of any Security Interests on or affecting any of the Collateral
 directly or indirectly securing repayment of Borrower’s Loan and Note, that

 Interests and rights in and to such Collateral.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Binding Effect.

 adequate reserves with respect to such contested assessment, tax, charge,
 levy, lien, or claim in accordance with GAAP.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Performance.
 Perform and comply, in a timely manner, with all terms, conditions, and
 provisions set forth in this Agreement, in the Related Documents, and in all
 other instruments and agreements between Borrower and Lender. Borrower shall
 notify Lender immediately in writing of any default in connection with any
 agreement.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Operations.
 Maintain executive and management personnel with substantially the same
 qualifications and experience as the present executive and management
 personnel; provide written notice to Lender of any change in executive and

 prudent manner.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Environmental

 Borrower’s expense, all such investigations, studies, samplings and testings
 as may be requested by Lender or any governmental authority relative to any
 substance, or any waste or by-product of any substance defined as toxic or a

 regulation, order or directive, at or affecting any property or any facility
 owned, leased or used by Borrower.

 Governmental Requirements. Comply with all laws,
 ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental
 authorities applicable to the conduct of Borrower’s properties, businesses
 and operations, and to the use or occupancy of the Collateral, including
 without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act. Borrower may contest
 in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance
 during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has
 notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s sole
 opinion, Lender’s interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may
 require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably
 satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender’s interest.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Inspection.
 Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time to inspect any
 and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower’s other properties and
 to examine or audit Borrower’s books, accounts, and records and to make
 copies and memoranda of Borrower’s books, accounts, and records. If Borrower
 now or at any time hereafter maintains any records (including without
 limitation computer generated records and computer software programs for the
 generation of such records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower,
 upon request of Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access
 to such records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of
 any records it may request, all at Borrower’s expense.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Compliance
 Certificates. Unless waived in writing by Lender,
 provide Lender at least annually, with a certificate executed by Borrower’s
 chief financial officer, or other officer or person acceptable to Lender,
 certifying that the representations and warranties set forth in this
 Agreement are true and correct as of the date of the certificate and further
 certifying that, as of the date of the certificate, no Event of Default
 exists under this Agreement.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Environmental
 Compliance and Reports. Borrower shall comply in all
 respects with any and all Environmental Laws; not cause or permit to exist,
 as a result of an intentional or unintentional action or omission on
 Borrower’s part or on the part of any third party, on property owned and/or
 occupied by Borrower, any environmental activity where damage may result to
 the environment, unless such environmental activity is pursuant to and in
 compliance with the conditions of a permit issued by the appropriate federal,
 state or local governmental authorities; shall furnish to Lender promptly and
 in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof a copy of any
 notice, summons, lien, citation, directive, letter or other communication
 from any governmental agency or instrumentality concerning any intentional or
 unintentional action or omission on Borrower’s part in connection with any
 environmental activity whether or not there is damage to the environment
 and/or other natural resources.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Additional
 Assurances. Make, execute and deliver to Lender such
 promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements,
 assignments, financing statements, instruments, documents and other
 agreements as Lender or its attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and
 secure the Loans and to perfect all Security Interests.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced
 that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if
 Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related
 Documents, including but not limited to Borrower’s failure to discharge or
 pay when due any amounts Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this
 Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower’s behalf may (but
 shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate,
 including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security
 interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on any
 Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any
 Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such
 purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the
 date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All
 such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option,
 will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be
 apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
 during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the
 remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will
 be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.

 NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender
 that while this Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior
 written consent of Lender:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Indebtedness and
 Liens. (1) Except for trade debt incurred in the
 normal course of business and indebtedness to Lender contemplated by this
 Agreement, create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money, including
 capital leases, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge, lease, grant a
 security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower’s assets (except as allowed
 as Permitted Liens), or (3) sell with recourse any of Borrower’s accounts,
 except to Lender.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Continuity of
 Operations. (1) Engage in any business activities
 substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged,
 (2) cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate with
 any other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral
 out of the ordinary course of business, or (3) pay any dividends on
 Borrower’s stock (other than dividends payable in its stock), provided,
 however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of
 Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payment of
 dividends, if Borrower is a “Subchapter S Corporation” (as defined in the
 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends
 on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to
 enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax
 payments to satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law which arise
 solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation
 because of their ownership of shares of Borrower’s stock, or purchase or
 retire any of Borrower’s outstanding shares or alter or amend Borrower’s
 capital structure.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Loans, Acquisitions
 and Guaranties. (1) Loan, invest in or advance money
 or assets to any other person, enterprise or entity, (2) purchase, create or
 acquire any interest in any other enterprise or entity, or (3) incur any
 obligation as surety or guarantor other than in the ordinary course of
 business.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Agreements.
 Enter into any agreement containing any provisions which would be violated or
 breached by the performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or
 in connection herewith.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make
 any Loan to Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other
 agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to
 disburse Loan proceeds if: (A) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under
 the terms of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents or any other
 agreement that Borrower or any Guarantor has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any
 Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in
 bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there
 occurs a material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition, in the
 financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral
 securing any Loan; or (D) any Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts
 to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor’s guaranty of the Loan or any other
 loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure, even
 though no Event of Default shall have occurred.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
 Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender
 (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all
 accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower
 may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts,
 or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower
 authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or
 setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts,
 and, at Lender’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to
 allow Lender to protect Lender’s charge and setoff rights provided in this
 paragraph.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 DEFAULT.
 Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
 Agreement:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Payment Default.
 Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Loan.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Other Defaults.
 Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation,
 covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related
 Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or
 condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 False Statements.
 Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by
 Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related
 Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at
 the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time
 thereafter.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Insolvency.
 The dissolution or termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business,
 the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of
 Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of
 creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy
 or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Defective
 Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the
 Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
 any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or
 lien) at any time and for any reason.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Creditor or
 Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure
 or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
 repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any
 governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan. This includes a
 garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with
 Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good
 faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim
 which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower
 gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and
 deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture
 proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as
 being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Events Affecting
 Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with
 respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or
 becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability
 under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Change in Ownership.
 Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock
 of Borrower.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Adverse Change.
 A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender
 believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Loan is impaired.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Insecurity.
 Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Right to Cure.
 If any default, other than a default on Indebtedness, is curable and if
 Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given a notice of a
 similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if
 Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, after Lender sends written notice to
 Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, demanding cure of such default: (1)
 cure the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more
 than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender deems in
 Lender’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter
 continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to
 produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

 EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur,
 except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents,
 all commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related
 Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate (including any
 obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender’s
 option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of
 any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the
 type described in the “Insolvency” subsection above, such acceleration shall
 be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights
 and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in
 equity, or otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of
 Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised
 singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not
 exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or
 to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall
 not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and
 remedies.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a
 part of this Agreement:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Amendments.
 This Agreement, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire
 understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in
 this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement shall be
 effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought
 to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Attorneys’ Fees;
 Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of
 Lender’s costs and expenses, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees
 and Lender’s legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of
 this Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this
 Agreement, and Borrower shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement.
 Costs and expenses include Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal
 expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’
 fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
 modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
 anticipated post-judgment collection services. Borrower also shall pay all
 court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Caption Headings.
 Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and are
 not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Agreement.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Consent to Loan
 Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to
 Lender’s sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation
 interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated
 to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one
 or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge
 Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the
 Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with
 respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of
 sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of
 such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any
 such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of
 such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights granted under the
 participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such
 participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or
 counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any
 purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that
 either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower’s obligation under the
 Loan irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest
 in the Loan. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any such
 participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any
 personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Governing
 Law. This Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and,
 to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of
 Minnesota without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Agreement
 has been accepted by Lender in the State of Minnesota.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 No Waiver by Lender.
 Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement
 unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or
 omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a
 waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of
 this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right
 otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other
 provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of
 dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall
 constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Borrower’s or any
 Grantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of
 Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by
 Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
 instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be
 granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Notices.
 Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in
 writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually
 received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited
 with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited
 in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail
 postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this
 Agreement. Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement
 by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the
 purpose of the notice is to change the party’s address. For notice purposes,
 Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower’s current
 address. Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than
 one Borrower, any notice given by Lender to any Borrower is deemed to be
 notice given to all Borrowers.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Severability.
 If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to
 be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding
 shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as
 to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be
 considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the
 offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted
 from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality,
 invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not
 affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of
 this Agreement.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Subsidiaries and
 Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of
 any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
 limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word “Borrower” as
 used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower’s subsidiaries and
 affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances
 shall this Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other
 financial accommodation to any of Borrower’s subsidiaries or affiliates.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Successors and
 Assigns. All covenants and agreements by or on
 behalf of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Related Documents shall
 bind Borrower’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
 Lender and its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not, however, have the
 right to assign Borrower’s rights under this Agreement or any interest
 therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Survival of
 Representations and Warranties. Borrower understands
 and agrees that in extending Loan Advances, Lender is relying on all
 representations, warranties, and covenants made by Borrower in this Agreement
 or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrower to Lender
 under this Agreement or the Related Documents. Borrower further agrees that
 regardless of any investigation made by Lender, all such representations, warranties
 and covenants will survive the extension of Loan Advances and delivery to
 Lender of the Related Documents, shall be continuing in nature, shall be
 deemed made and redated by Borrower at the time each Loan Advance is made,
 and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower’s
 Indebtedness shall be paid in full, or until this Agreement shall be
 terminated in the manner provided above, whichever is the last to occur.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Time is of the
 Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance
 of this Agreement.

RIDER TO BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT (ASSET
BASED)

AND RELATED DOCUMENTS

             This Rider
to Business Loan Agreement (Asset Based) (“Rider”) is attached to and made a
part of that certain Business Loan Agreement (Asset Based) dated December 18,
2014 (“Business Loan Agreement”) between Electromed, Inc. (“Borrower”) and
Venture Bank (“Lender”). In the event of any inconsistency between this Rider
and the Business Loan Agreement or any of the Related Documents, as defined
therein, the terms of this Rider shall control. Terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the Business Loan
Agreement. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provisions of the Business Loan
Agreement or any of the Related Documents:

     1.     Lender
does not require any opinions of counsel to Borrower in connection with the
Loan.

     2.     Borrower’s
representations and warranties with respect to Hazardous Substances are made to
the best of its knowledge, based upon reasonable investigation, and subject to
any matters disclosed in any environmental site assessments obtained by or
delivered to Lender. Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral has
been used for the storage, use and generation of hazardous substances as
customary in Borrower’s business in compliance with all applicable laws and may
in the future be used for such purposes in compliance with all applicable laws.
Further, inspections, tests and assessments of the Collateral by Lender to
determine compliance with the provisions of the Business Loan Agreement and
Related Documents relating to Hazardous Substances shall be at Borrower’s
expense only if Lender has reasonable cause to believe Borrower is in violation
of such provisions.

     3.     Lender’s
request for additional information and insurance coverage shall be reasonable
for the type of business and type of property constituting the Collateral.
Borrower shall not have the obligation to have the Collateral appraised for
insurance purposes during the term of the Loan.

     4.     Borrower
shall not have the obligation to notify Lender of defaults under any agreements
other than the Business Loan Agreement or Related Documents unless such
defaults are material.

     5.     Borrower
shall not have the obligation to notify Lender of management changes other than
executive management changes.

     6.     Lender
shall give Borrower reasonable notice prior to inspection of the tangible
Collateral or Borrower’s books and records.

     7.     Lender
shall not have the right to exercise any of the remedies provided for under the
Business Loan Agreement or Related Documents except upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default as defined therein and during the continuance of such Event of
Default.

     8.       Failure
of the Borrower to make any payment when due under the Loan shall not
constitute an Event of Default under the Business Loan Agreement or any of the
Related Documents until five (5) days after written notice thereof is given to
Borrower.

     9.       Lender
will promptly notify Borrower if it makes any expenditures or takes any action
pursuant to the paragraph labeled “LENDER’S EXPENDITURES.”

     10.     Borrower
shall have the right to incur indebtedness to other lenders and to enter into
equipment leases from third party vendors or finance companies to finance
equipment acquisitions not to exceed $100,000 per year without the consent of
Lender. 

     11.     The
filing of any involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition against Borrower
shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the Borrower fails to have such
filing dismissed within thirty days after such filing is made or the court
grants the petition for relief.

     12.     A change
in ownership of Borrower’s stock shall not constitute a default.

     13.     A
material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender believing
the prospect of payment or performance is impaired, or the Lender otherwise
believing itself insecure, shall not constitute an event of default so long as
no other event of default has occurred and is continuing.

     14.     Borrower
shall have the right to sell obsolete equipment or fixtures constituting part
of the Collateral without the consent of Lender, so long as such equipment or
fixtures are promptly replaced with items of equivalent or greater value.

     15.     Lender
shall not sell the Loan to another lender or sell participation interests in
the Loan without Borrower’s prior consent, except in the event of the sale or
transfer of substantially all the assets of Lender. 

     16.     There
are no guarantors of the Loan, and no affiliates of Borrower shall be required
to provide Collateral. 

     17.     The
definition of “Eligible Accounts” is hereby modified to include (i) foreign
accounts that are secured by a letter of credit issued by a U.S. state or
federal bank acceptable to Lender, and (ii) accounts that are conditional but
are carried on Borrower’s books in accordance with GAAP. Further, Lender shall
not unreasonably disqualify accounts as Eligible Accounts based upon the
creditworthiness or financial condition of the Account Debtor.

     18.     The
Commercial Security Agreement shall secure only the Note, the obligations under
the Related Documents, and that certain Promissory Note dated December 18, 2013
between Borrower and Lender in the amount of $1,300,000 (the “RE Note”) and the
“Related Documents” as defined in the Business Loan Agreement of even date

may maintain deductibles under its insurance policies up to $20,000. Borrower
shall not have the obligation to notify Lender and shall have the right to
adjust and receive insurance proceeds upon damage to the Collateral not
exceeding $50,000, so long as Borrower promptly repairs and restores such
damage. The occurrence of casualty damage or other loss which is insured (other
than a reasonable deductible) shall not constitute an Event of Default.

     20.     Lender
waives the obligation of Borrower to make monthly payments into reserves for
payment of insurance unless and until an Event of Default occurs.

     21.     Lender
will not require direct payment of accounts to Lender or into a lock box unless
and until an Event of Default occurs.
