          Re:   Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 7,  2010,
          between
                Sovereign  Bank, N.A. and Dynasil Corporation  of
          America

Dear Richard:

      Sovereign  Bank, N.A., a national banking association  (the
"Lender"),  and  Dynasil  Corporation  of  America,  a   Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower"), made, executed and delivered a Loan
and  Security Agreement, dated July 7, 2010 (as amended, modified
or  supplemented prior to the date hereof, the "Loan Agreement").
All  capitalized terms utilized herein and not otherwise  defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan
Agreement.

      The Borrower has informed the Lender that the Borrower has,
in  violation  of  Section 12(b) of the Loan Agreement,  incurred
certain  indebtedness  which is evidenced by  certain  promissory
notes dated as of June 7, 2012, in the original principal amounts
totaling  $1,857,546.00, executed by the  Borrower  in  favor  of
certain  entities affiliated with Dr. Gerald Entine (the  "Entine
Indebtedness").   In  addition, the  Borrower  has  informed  the
Lender  that  the  Borrower will not be in  compliance,  for  the
fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on June 30, 2012, with  the
requirements of the Consolidated Maximum Leverage Ratio  covenant
set  forth  in Section 13(a) of the Loan Agreement  or  with  the
requirements  of  the  Consolidated Fixed Charge  Coverage  Ratio
covenant set forth in Section 13(b) of the Loan Agreement.

      Subject  to  execution and delivery by the Borrower  of  an
Amendment  No.  3  to  Loan and Security Agreement  in  the  form
attached  hereto  as  Exhibit A (the  "Required  Amendment")  and
compliance  by  the Borrower with the terms thereof,  the  Lender
hereby  agrees  to waive (i) the Event of Default caused  by  the
Borrower's  breach  of  Section  12(b)  of  the  Loan   Agreement
resulting  from  the  incurrence by the Borrower  of  the  Entine
Indebtedness,   (ii)  compliance  by  the   Borrower   with   the
requirements of the Consolidated Maximum Leverage Ratio  covenant
set  forth in Section 13(a) of the Loan Agreement for the  fiscal
quarter  of  the  Borrower  ending on June  30,  2012,  and  (ii)
compliance  by  the  Borrower  with  the  requirements   of   the
Consolidated  Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set  forth  in
Section 13(b) of the Loan Agreement for the fiscal quarter of the
Borrower  ending on June 30, 2012.  The waiver by the  Lender  of
compliance  by the Borrower with the provisions of Section  12(b)
of  the  Loan  Agreement shall be specific with  respect  to  the
incurrence of the Entine Indebtedness, as set forth herein.   The
waiver  by  the  Lender of compliance by the  Borrower  with  the
Consolidated Maximum Leverage Ratio covenant and the Consolidated
Fixed  Charge Coverage Ratio covenant shall be specific  for  the


fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on June 30, 2012 only. Such waivers shall not be construed to be, or operate as, a waiver of any other right of the Lender arising under the Loan Agreement or any other Other Agreement, nor shall they preclude any other present or future exercise of the rights granted to the Lender under the Loan Agreement or any other Other Agreement upon the failure of the Borrower to comply with any other term, covenant or condition contained in the Loan Agreement or in any other Other Agreement or the occurrence of any other Event of Default, including without limitation any Event of Default arising as a result of the Borrower's failure to comply with the Consolidated Maximum Leverage Ratio covenant or the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant for any fiscal period other than the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2012. This will also confirm that the Borrower has agreed to be responsible for paying or reimbursing the Lender, immediately upon demand, for all fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the requested waivers granted herein, including without limitation fees of legal counsel. If you have any questions concerning the foregoing, please contact me immediately. Unless I hear from you to the contrary, I will assume that the foregoing accurately reflects the understanding which has been reached between the Lender and the Borrower with respect to the subject matter hereof. Please note that the waivers set forth herein shall automatically expire and be deemed to be of no force and effect if the Borrower fails to return to the Lender, on or before June 30, 2012, a countersigned copy of this letter and a fully executed copy of the Required Amendment. Sincerely, SOVEREIGN BANK, N.A. By: ___________________________ Name: Daniel Vereb Title: Senior Vice President Accepted and agreed to this ____ day of June, 2012.
