has taken all corporate action required to make all the provisions of this
Agreement, the Shares and any other agreements and instruments executed in

3.4 LITIGATION. There is no litigation or governmental proceeding or
investigation pending or threatened against the Company or the Subsidiaries

or any of their material properties or assets, or that might call into question
the validity of this Agreement, any of the Shares, or any action taken or to be
taken pursuant hereto or thereto, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, has
there occurred any event or does there exist any condition on the basis of which
any litigation, proceeding or investigation might properly be instituted that

change in the business, operations, affairs of the Company, the Subsidiaries or
any of their material properties and assets. Neither the Company, any
Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any officer of the Company or

agency that might result, either in any case or in the aggregate, in any
material adverse change in the business, operations, affairs or conditions of
the Company or any of their material properties or assets. The foregoing
sentences
-4-
include, without limiting their generality, actions pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened (or any basis therefor known to the Company)
involving the prior employment of employees of the Company or, any of its
Subsidiaries in any of the Company's or any Subsidiary's business of any
information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers.

foregoing documents and instruments that materially adversely affects the
business, assets or financial condition of the Company or the Subsidiaries.
Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Shares, nor the

ARTICLE V
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
5.1 "PIGGY-BACK" REGISTRATION. If at any time the Company shall
determine to register under the Securities Act (including pursuant to a demand
of any stockholder of the Company exercising registration rights) any of its
Common Stock (except shares to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business, shares issuable solely upon exercise of
stock options, or shares issuable solely pursuant to employee benefit plans), it
shall send to each holder of Registrable Shares, written notice of such
determination and, if within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, such
holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall use its best efforts to
include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Shares
that such holder requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with
any offering involving an underwriting of Common Stock to be issued by
-14-
the Company, the managing underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number
of shares of such Common Stock included in any such registration statement
because, in its judgment, such limitation is necessary to effect an orderly
public distribution, and such limitation is imposed among all holders of
Common Stock exercising their contractual incidental ("piggy back") right to
include such Common Stock in the registration statement as provided below on
a PRO RATA basis (according to the number of shares of Common Stock held by
such holders that are entitled to such "piggy-back" registration rights). In
the event of any such limitation, the Company may include in such
registration statement only (i) shares of Common Stock to be sold for the
Company's account; (ii) Registrable Shares; and (iii) shares of Common Stock
the holders of which are entitled to registration pursuant to an agreement
with the Company approved by the Board of Directors; provided, that, in the
case of clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, such inclusion
shall be on the PRO RATA basis hereinabove described. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such reduction shall be made with respect to securities being
offered by the Company for its own account. If any holder of Registrable
Shares disapproves of the terms of such underwriting, he may elect to
withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing
underwriter.
5.2 EFFECTIVENESS. The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the
effectiveness for up to ninety (90) days of any registration statement pursuant
to which any of the Registrable Shares are being offered, and from time to time
will amend or supplement such registration statement and the prospectus
contained therein as and to the extent necessary to comply with the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities statute or regulation.
5.3 INDEMNIFICATION OF HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SHARES. In the event that
the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act,
the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each holder and each underwriter of
the Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through
whom such shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who controls such holder
or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities,
joint or several, to which they or any of them become subject under the
Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and,
except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse each such holder, each such
underwriter and each such controlling person, for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them or any of them in connection with investigating or
defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended
-15-
preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or
prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented by the Company) or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading or any violation by the Company of any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company and
relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such
registration, unless such untrue statement or omission was made in such
registration statement, preliminary or amended, preliminary prospectus or
prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing to the Company in connection therewith by such holder of Registrable
Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling person expressly for use
therein. Promptly after receipt by any holder of Registrable Shares, any
underwriter or any controlling person of notice of the commencement of any
action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such
holder of Registrable Shares, or such underwriter or such controlling person, as
the case may be, will notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof,
and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall assume the
defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be
counsel satisfactory to such holder of Registrable Shares, such underwriter or
such controlling person, as the case may be) and the payment of expenses insofar
as such action shall relate to any alleged liability in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against the Company. Such holder of Registrable Shares,
any such underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense
thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of
the Company unless the employment of such counsel has been specifically
authorized by the Company. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any
person for any settlement of any such action effected without the Company's
consent. The Company shall not, except with the approval of each party being
indemnified under this Section 5.3, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the parties being so indemnified of a
release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
5.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF COMPANY. In the event that the Company registers
any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, each holder of the
Registrable Shares so registered will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration
statement, each underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered (including
any broker or dealer through whom such of the shares may be sold) and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the
-16-
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which
they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or under any
other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter
provided, will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer,
underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them or any of them in connection with investigating or defending
any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended
preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or
prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented) or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as any such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such holder of
Registrable Shares expressly for use therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
holder's obligations hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the
proceeds to such holder of the Registrable Shares sold in such registration.
Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action in respect
of which indemnity may be sought against such holder of Registrable Shares,
the Company will notify such holder of Registrable Shares in writing of the
commencement thereof, and such holder of Registrable Shares shall, subject to
the provisions hereinafter stated, assume the defense of such action
(including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel satisfactory to
the Company) and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate
to the alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against
such holder of Registrable Shares. The Company and each such director,
officer, underwriter or controlling person shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of such
holder of Registrable Shares unless employment of such counsel has been
specifically authorized by such holder of Registrable Shares.
Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, if the action is one in which
the Company may be obligated to indemnify any holder of Registrable Shares
pursuant to Section 5.3, the Company shall have the right to assume the
defense of such action, subject to the right of such holders to participate
therein as permitted by Section 5.3. Such holder of Registrable Shares shall
not be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such action
effected without such holder's consent. Such holder shall not, except with
the approval of the Company, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof
-17-
the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the party being so indemnified of
a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
5.5 EXCHANGE ACT REGISTRATION. The Company will use its best efforts to
file on a timely basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission all
information that the Commission may require under either of Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and shall use its best efforts to take all
action that may be required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act (or any successor exemptive rule hereinafter in effect) with
respect to the Company's Common Stock. The Company shall furnish to any holder
of Registrable Shares forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (iii) any other reports and
documents that a holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or
regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission allowing a holder to sell
any such Registrable Securities without registration.
5.6 DAMAGES. The Company recognizes and agrees that the holder of
Registrable Shares will not have an adequate remedy if the Company fails to
comply with this Article V and that damage will not be readily ascertainable,
and the Company expressly agrees that, in the event of such failure, it shall
not oppose an application by the holder of Registrable Shares or any other
person entitled to the benefits of this Article V requiring specific performance
of any and all provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing to
commit any such breach of this Article V.
5.7 FURTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever under the preceding
Sections of this Article V, the Company is required hereunder to register
Registrable Shares, it agrees that it shall also do the following:
(a) Furnish to each selling holder of Registrable Shares such
copies of each preliminary and final prospectus and any other documents that
such holder may reasonably request to facilitate the public offering of its
Registrable Shares;
(b) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable
Shares to be registered pursuant to this Article V under the applicable
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any selling holder may
reasonably request; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be obligated
to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process
-18-
in suits other than those arising out of the offer or sale of the securities
covered by the registration statement in any jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject;
(c) Furnish to each selling holder a signed counterpart of
(i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the
effective date of the registration statement, and
(ii) "comfort" letters signed by the Company's independent
public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company's
financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent
permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants,
covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration
statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the
accountants' "comfort" letters) with respect to events subsequent to the date of
the financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's
counsel and in accountants' "comfort" letters delivered to the underwriters in
underwritten public offerings of securities, to the extent that the Company is
required to deliver or cause the delivery of such opinion or "comfort" letters
to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering of securities;
(d) Permit each selling holder of Registrable Shares or his counsel
or other representatives to inspect and copy such corporate documents and
records as may reasonably be requested by them; and
(e) Furnish to each selling holder, upon request, a copy of all
documents filed and all correspondence from or to the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with any such offering.
5.8 EXPENSES. In the case of a registration under Section 5.1, the
Company shall bear all costs and expenses of each such registration, including,
but not limited to, printing, legal and accounting expenses, Securities and
Exchange Commission filing fees and "blue sky" fees and expenses; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company shall have no obligation to pay or otherwise bear
(i) any portion of the fees or disbursements of counsel (other than counsel for
the Company) for the selling holders of Registrable Shares in connection with
the registration of their Registrable Shares, or (ii) any portion of the
underwriters' commissions or discounts attributable to the Registrable Shares
being offered and sold by the holders of Registrable Shares.
-19-
5.9 TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The registration rights of the
holders of Registrable Shares under this Article V may be transferred without
the consent of the Company to any transferee of Registrable Shares that (i) is a
partner of a Purchaser, (ii) acquires all of the Registrable Shares held by a
Purchaser or (iii) holds 29,000 Registrable Shares (such number to be equitably
adjusted whenever there shall occur a stock split, combination, reclassification
or other similar event affecting the Common Stock after the date of this
Agreement).
5.10 NO SUPERIOR RIGHTS. The Company will not grant registration rights
to any Person that are superior to the rights granted hereunder without the
prior consent of Purchasers holding at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the
Registrable Shares unless the holders of Registrable Shares are also granted
such superior rights.

binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

technology companies such as the Company.
(c) It is acquiring the Shares for investment for its own account
and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution

things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein.
(d) It acknowledges that the Shares must be held indefinitely
unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act, or unless an exemption
from such registration is available. It is aware of the provisions of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act that permit limited resale of Shares
purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions.
-20-
(e) It understands that no public market now exists for any of the
securities issued by the Company, and that it is unlikely that a public market
will ever exist for the Shares.
(f) It has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business,
management, and financial affairs with the Company's management and to review
the Company's facilities. It understands that such discussions, as well as the
written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects
of the Company's business and prospects that the Company believes to be
material, but that these descriptions were not necessarily thorough or
exhaustive.
6.2 LEGENDS. Each certificate representing the Shares shall be endorsed
with the following legend:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED

THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW
OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

RULES.
The Company need not register a transfer of Shares, unless the conditions
specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied. The Company may also instruct
its transfer agent not to register the transfer of any of the Shares unless the
conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied.
6.3 REMOVAL OF LEGENDS AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. The legend relating to
the Securities Act endorsed on a stock certificate pursuant to Section 6.2 of
this Agreement and the stop transfer instructions with respect to the Shares
represented by such certificate shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of such Shares if such Shares are
registered under the Securities Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of
Section 10 of the Securities Act is available or if such holder provides to the
Company an opinion of counsel for such holder of the Shares reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or a
-21-
no-action letter or interpretive opinion of the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to the effect that a public sale,
transfer or assignment of such Shares may be made without registration and
without compliance with any restriction such as Rule 144. The California
Commissioner of Corporations legend (if required) will be removed if the

EXHIBIT 2.1(b)
[Legal Opinion of Wilson, Sonsini, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.C.]
February __, 1990
To the Purchasers Listed in
Exhibit 1.1 to the Aehr Test Systems
Common Stock Purchase Agreement
Dated as of February __, 1990
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, complete with
all listed exhibits thereto, dated as of February __, 1990 (the "Agreement"),
by and among Aehr Test Systems, a California corporation (the "Company"), and
the persons and entities listed in Exhibit 1.1 to the Agreement (the
"Purchasers"), which provides for the issuance by the Company to the
Purchasers of shares of Common Stock of the Company, without par value (the
"Shares"). This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) of
the Agreement, and all terms used herein have the meanings defined for them
in the Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the
negotiation of the Agreement and the issuance of the Shares. As such counsel,
we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries as we have
deemed advisable or necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In
addition, we have examined originals or copies of documents, corporate
records and other writings which we consider relevant for the purposes of
this opinion. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures on original documents, the conformity to original documents of all
copies submitted to us and the due execution and delivery of all documents
where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness
thereof.
As used in this opinion, the expression "to our knowledge" with
reference to matters of fact means that, after an examination of documents in
our files and documents made available to us by the Company and after
inquiries of officers of the Company, we find no reason to believe that the
opinions expressed herein are factually incorrect; but beyond that we have
made no independent factual investigation for the purpose of rendering this
opinion.
For purposes of this opinion, we are assuming that you have all
requisite power and authority, and have taken any and all necessary corporate
or partnership action, to execute and deliver the Agreement, and we are
assuming that the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers and
the Company under the Agreement are true and correct.
The opinions hereinafter expressed are subject to the following
qualifications:
(a) We express no opinion as to the effect of applicable
bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally;
(b) We express no opinion as to the effect of rules of law
governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies;
(c) We express no opinion as to compliance with applicable
anti-fraud provisions of federal or state securities laws;
(d) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the
indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.3 of the Agreement to the
extent the provisions thereof may be subject to limitations of public policy;
and
(e) We are members of the Bar of the State of California and,
except as set forth in paragraph 7 below with respect to the securities laws
of other states, we are not expressing any opinion as to any matter relating
to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the United States of
America and the laws of the State of California. To the extent this opinion
addresses applicable securities laws of states other than the State of
California, we have not retained nor relied on the opinion of counsel
admitted to the bar of such states, but rather have relied on compilations of
the securities laws of such states contained in looseleaf reporting services
presently available to us.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing
under, and by virtue of, the laws of the State of California and is in good
standing under such laws. The Company has requisite corporate power to own
and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as
presently conducted. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction where such qualification is presently
required and the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect
on the Company.
-2-
2. The Company has all requisite legal and corporate power to execute
and deliver the Agreement, to sell and issue the Shares thereunder and to
carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Agreement.
3. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 75,000,000
shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Immediately
prior to the Closing, 3,526,986 shares of Common Stock and no shares of
Preferred Stock were outstanding. All such issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable, and are free of any preemptive or similar rights contained in
the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company. As of the date
hereof the Company has outstanding options exercisable for 299,300 shares of
Common Stock and warrants exercisable for 9,333 shares of Common Stock. The
Shares issued under the Agreement are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free of any liens, encumbrances and preemptive or similar
rights except as specifically provided in the Agreement; provided, however,
that the Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or
federal securities laws as set forth in the Agreement. To our knowledge,
except for rights described in the Agreement and the Exhibits thereto, there
are no other options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights
presently outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but
unissued shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company, or any
other agreements to issue any such securities or rights.
4. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and
shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and
performance of the Agreement by the Company, the authorization, sale,
issuance and delivery of the Shares and the performance of the Company's
obligations under the Agreement has been taken. The Agreement has been duly
and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
5. The Company is not in violation of any term of its Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or, to our knowledge and except as set forth in the
Agreement, in any material respect of any term or provision of any material
contract, agreement, instrument, judgment or decree binding upon the Company.
The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of
the Agreement, and the issuance of the Shares, do not violate any provision
of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or, to our knowledge, any
provision of any applicable federal, state or local law, rule or regulation.
To our knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance of and compliance
with the Agreement, and the issuance of the Shares have not resulted and will
not result in any violation of,
-3-
or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any material contract,
agreement, instrument, judgment or decree binding upon the Company.
6. Except as identified in the Agreement, to our knowledge, there are
no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against the Company
or its properties before any court or governmental agency (nor, to our
knowledge, is there any written threat thereof), which, either in any case or
in the aggregate, might result in any material adverse change in the business
or financial condition of the Company or any of its properties, or in any
material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its
business as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the
Company, or which questions the validity of the Agreement or any action taken
or to be taken by the Company in connection therewith.
7. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation,
declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the
Company is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of
the Agreement, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares or the
consummation of any other transaction contemplated thereby, except
qualification (or taking such action as may be necessary to secure an
exemption from qualification, if available) of the offer and sale of the
Shares under the California Corporate Securities Laws and other applicable
securities laws (but excluding jurisdictions outside of the United States),
filings for which have been accomplished and are effective, except filings
which may be made after the date hereof and which the Company has agreed to
make in a timely manner.
8. Subject to the accuracy of the Purchasers' representations in
Section 6.1 of the Agreement and their responses (if any) to the Company's
inquiries, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to be issued in
conformity with the terms of the Agreement constitute transactions exempt
from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
This opinion is furnished to the Purchasers solely for their benefit in
connection with the purchase of the Shares, and may not be relied upon by any
other person without prior written consent.
Very truly yours,
WILSON, SONSINI, XXXXXXXX & XXXXXX

Aehr Test Systems (the "Company") intends to enter into a common stock
purchase agreement (the "Jafco Agreement") with Jafco America Ventures, Inc.,
and certain other entities (the "Purchasers") providing for the issuance and
sale by the Company of shares of Common Stock of the Company to the
Purchasers. The representative of the Purchasers has made it a condition to

Pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Capital Stock Investment Agreement dated
April 12, 1984 (the "1984 Agreement"), the Company and the undersigned holder
of a majority of the Restricted Securities (as defined in the 1984 Agreement)

full as set forth in Exhibit I hereto.
This Amendment shall be conditioned and effective upon the closing of
the Jafco Agreement.

EXHIBIT I
5.3 REQUESTED REGISTRATION.
(a) If at any time the Company shall be requested by the holders
of not less than 50% of the total number of shares of Restricted Securities,
the Company shall promptly, and in any case within ten (10) days, give
written notice of such proposed registration to all holders of Restricted
Securities. Thereupon the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its
best efforts to effect the registration on Form S-1 (or on a form of general
use then in effect under the Act) of the shares of Restricted Securities
which the Company has been requested to register (i) in such request and (ii)
in any response to such notice given to the Company within twenty (20) days
after the Company's giving of such notice, in order to permit the sale or
other disposition of such shares in accordance with the intended method of
sale or other disposition given in the request and in any such response.
The Company shall be obligated to have only one (1) registration
statement declared effective pursuant to this paragraph 5.3(a). The Company
shall not be required to effect a registration statement under this paragraph
5.3(a) during the first one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective
date of any registration statement filed by the Company under paragraph
5.3(b) or 5.4 hereof if the Company has complied with the provisions of
paragraph 5.3(b) or 5.4.
The Company may include in the registration under this paragraph
5.3(a) any other shares of Capital Stock (including issued and outstanding
shares of Capital Stock as to which the holders thereof have contracted with
the Company for "piggyback" registration rights). However, if the offering
of the Restricted Securities is proposed to be underwritten on a firm
commitment basis (i) the Company (if it is including shares in the
registration for its own account) and the holders of any other shares
proposed to be included in the registration ("Other Shares") must agree to
include such shares in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as
the holders of Restricted Securities, and (ii) if the managing underwriter(s)
determines that marketing considerations require a limitation of the total
number of shares to be included in the registration, the managing
underwriter(s) will determine the number of shares to be included in the
registration for the account of the Company (if any) and the total number of
shares to be included in the registration for the account of all others
(including the holders of Restricted Securities), which total number shall
then be allocated pro rata among such shareholders according to the number of
shares owned by each of them. All other shares shall be excluded from the
registration.
(b) In addition to the registration rights granted in paragraph
5.3(a), if a registration may be effected by the Company on Form S-3 or a
similar short-form registration statement, and the Company shall be requested
by the holders of not less than thirty percent (30%) of the total number of
shares of Restricted Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
possible, use its best efforts to effect the registration on Form S-3 or a
similar short-form registration statement of the shares of Restricted
Securities which the Company has been requested to register in such request.
The notice, underwriting and cut-back provisions set forth in paragraph
5.3(a) shall also apply to any registration pursuant to this paragraph 5.3(b).
The Company shall be obligated to have only one (1) registration
statement declared effective pursuant to this paragraph 5.3(b), and the
rights granted by this paragraph 5.3(b) may not be exercised during the first
one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of any registration
statement filed by the Company under paragraph 5.3(a) or 5.4 hereof if the
Company has complied with the provisions of paragraph 5.3(a) or 5.4.

EXHIBIT 3.0
SCHEDULE OF EXCEPTIONS
This Schedule of Exceptions, dated as of February 8, 1990, is made and
given pursuant to Article 3 of the Aehr Test Systems Common Stock Purchase
Agreement dated February 8, 1990 (the "Agreement"). The section numbers in
this Schedule of Exceptions correspond to the section numbers in the
Agreement; however, any information disclosed herein under any section number
shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other section
number under the Agreement where such disclosure would be appropriate. Any
terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this
Schedule of Exceptions as when used in the Agreement unless the context
otherwise requires.
3.5 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS.
Both the agreement with Xxxx Commercial Credit and Equitable Lomas
Leasing referenced below contain provisions of default including a cross
default clause. If the Company's default on its line of credit with Union
Bank caused Union Bank to accelerate such line of credit (see "Line of
Credit" below), the Company would be in default of both agreements.
3.6 TITLE TO ASSETS, PATENTS.
All of the Company's property and equipment in the U.S. is pledged
as collateral under term debt agreements with Equitable Lomas Leasing, Xxxx
Commercial Credit and various leasing companies under capital lease
obligations. The Company's outstanding principle balance due Equitable Lomas
Leasing at December 31, 1989 was $1,432,213 and is evidenced by a promissory
note bearing interest at 12.8% per year. This loan is payable in equal
monthly installments of $48,146 through December 1992. The outstanding
principle balance due Xxxx Commercial Credit at December 31, 1989 was
$750,882 and is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at 12.55% per
year. The loan is payable in equal monthly installments of $17,119 through
December 1994.
Capital lease obligations as of December 31, 1989 of $513,000
consist of various leases payable in installments through fiscal 1994 at a
weighted average interest rate of 11.3% per year.
3.12 SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. The holders of Restricted Securities, as
defined in the Capital Stock Investment Agreement dated April 12, 1984, as
amended, have the registration rights set forth in paragraph 5 thereof. The
holders of Registrable Shares, as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement
dated September 18, 1985, have the registration rights set forth in Article V
thereof.
3.13 DISCLOSURE
PROJECTIONS
No representation or warranty is made concerning the financial
projections provided to Purchasers, except that they were prepared in good
faith based on assumptions which the Company believes to be reasonable.
Projections of future financial results for a company in the semiconductor
industry are inherently subject to substantial risks of inaccuracy. No
assurance can be given that the assumptions on which projections are based
will prove to be correct. Variations from the projections could be
substantial and adverse.
The Company's projections depend on a number of factors including
present backlog, expected future orders and shipment of new burn-in test
equipment being developed and built by the Company under contract with IBM
(the "Wide I/0"). (See "Contract with IBM" below.) The Company has
experienced declining order rates and declining backlog over the last four
quarters as shown below:
In Millions
-----------
Quarter Ended Orders Backlog
------------------------------------------------------------------
November 30, 1988 $10.1 $20.0
February 28, 1989 $12.8 $20.8
May 31, 1989 $12.3 $20.9
August 31, 1989 $ 6.5 $15.9
November 30, 1989 $ 6.3 $13.9
The Company includes in backlog orders to which a purchase order
number has been assigned by the customer and which are expected to be shipped
within one year. Orders are subject to cancellation by the customer with
limited charges. Included in the backlog are orders from IBM for Wide I/O
systems totaling approximately $4 Million.
The Company's projections contain revenues for which purchase
orders have not yet been received by the Company. Also included in the
Company's projection for the six month period ending May 31, 1990 are the
revenues expected from the shipment of two Wide I/O systems to IBM totaling
$2,400,000. The Company has experienced delays in completing this project.
Further delays in completing the Wide I/O project and delays in receiving
purchase orders for other shipments in the projection would result in
significantly lower revenues and could lead to a material loss in each of the
quarters ending February 28, 1990 and May 31, 1990, and possibly result in a
loss for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1990.
CONTRACT WITH IBM
Included in work-in-process at May 31, 1989 and November 30, 1989
are deferred costs of $1,673,000 and $2,360,389 respectively, related to the
Wide I/O project with IBM. Deferred costs primarily include manufacturing
direct material, direct labor
-2-
and overhead and tooling, and exclude research and development that is
expensed as incurred. This production contract is accounted for under the
units of delivery method. Development problems have been experienced, which
have delayed shipment of the equipment. The latest scheduled delivery date
was August 15, 1989. Additional development problems could be encountered in
the future, which could further delay shipment and possibly lead to order
cancellations. Initial product acceptance procedures were expected to
commence in December 1989 but have been delayed until February 1990. The
contract is subject to cancellation by the customer for noncompliance and the
Company may incur a material loss if the contract is canceled. Related
progress payments received under the contract of $197,000 included in
customer deposits as of May 31, 1989, and $874,000 received during June 1989,
might be refundable in the event of the customer's cancellation of the
contract.
QUARTERLY LOSSES
The Company incurred an after tax loss of $245,000 in its quarter
ended November 30, 1989 and is projecting a loss in its quarter ending
February 28, 1990. For the seven month period ended December 31, 1989 the
Company incurred an after tax loss of $449,000. The Company could incur
losses in the future.
LINE OF CREDIT
On September 20, 1989, the Company renewed its line of credit
agreement with Union Bank. This agreement, renewable again on September 15,
1990, provides for maximum borrowings of up to the lesser of $5,000,000 or
80% of eligible accounts receivable (borrowing base formula), including a
maximum of $500,000 in standby letters of credit. Borrowings under the
agreement bear interest at 0.75% in excess of the bank's reference rate and
are collateralized by accounts receivable, inventories, certain property and
equipment and other assets of the Company. Under this agreement, the Company
is required to maintain certain financial ratios, profitability on a
quarterly basis and an average compensating balance of $200,000.
The Company is currently in default of the profitability covenant
because it incurred an after tax loss of $241,000 in its U.S. operations for
the quarter ended November 30, 1989. The Company is forecasting an after tax
loss of over $400,000 in its U.S. operations for the quarter ending February
28, 1990 and will remain in default of the profitability covenant. In
addition, the Company is currently in default of its borrowing base
limitation. As of December 31, 1989, the Company's borrowings under its line
of credit were $2,425,000 which was in excess of the amount available under
the borrowing base formula by approximately $500,000. The Company's target
cash balance in the United States is approximately $1,000,000. In order to
maintain this target balance, the Company is forecasting that its borrowings
will remain in excess of the amount permitted by the formula through May 31,
1990 and that the excess amount will exceed $1,300,000 during that period.
The Company has negotiated with the Bank a conditional waiver of the
profitability covenant, the current default and the borrowing base
-3-
limit, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1(l) to the Agreement.
The proceeds from the sale of stock offered hereby will be used to
repay the Company's bank line of credit to cure the default of the borrowing
base. The Company believes it will be able to maintain its line of credit
under its current terms. However, loss of the line of credit with Union Bank
may require the Company to raise additional equity capital if a bank line of
credit could not be obtained from alternative sources. There is no assurance
that the Company could raise such equity capital on favorable terms.
SOLE SOURCE COMPONENTS
The Company is dependent on several vendors as sole suppliers. One
of these suppliers, Texas Instruments, has informed the Company that it will
no longer manufacture two integrated circuits which are used in large
quantities in all of the Company's older model dynamic and test burn-in
systems. In 1989, the Company entered into an agreement with Arrow Kierrulff
(acting as Texas Instruments distributor) to purchase a two to three year
supply of these circuits amounting to a total purchase order commitment of
$717,000. The Company has taken partial delivery on the contract and as of
December 31, 1989 had an excess supply of parts over current demand of
$343,000 in inventory. The Company is currently negotiating deferral of
shipments of the balance of the contract of $404,000 in excess parts

[Letterhead of Coopers & Xxxxxxx, Certified Public Accountants]
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders
Aehr Test Systems:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aehr Test
Systems and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 1988 and 1989 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 1989. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Aehr Test Systems and
Subsidiaries as of May 31, 1988 and 1939, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31,
1989, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
CONSOLIDATION:
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly
owned foreign sales corporation (FSC) and both its wholly owned and
majority owned foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS:
Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated
into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet
date. Additionally, their revenues and expenses are translated using
exchange rates approximating average rates prevailing during the fiscal
year. Translation adjustments that arise from translating their financial
statements from their local currencies to U.S. dollars are accumulated and
reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate changes
denominated in currencies other than the local currency are included in the
statements of operations as incurred and are not significant.
CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM CASH DEPOSITS:
All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Short-term cash deposits represent interest bearing tine deposits with a
maturity greater than three months.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued:
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the terms of
the related lease. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The range of
estimated useful lives is as follow:
Leasehold improvements Life of lease
Furniture and fixtures 3 to 15 years
Machinery and equipment 2 to 11 years
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Revenue related to systems is recognized upon shipment. A provision for
the estimated future cost of warranty is recorded upon shipment.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE:
Costs incurred in the research and development of new products or systems
are charged to operations as incurred.
Costs incurred in the development of software programs for the Company's
products are charged to operations as incurred until technological
feasibility of the software has been established. After technological
feasibility is established, any additional costs are capitalized.
Capitalized costs of approximately $168,000 and $265,000 are included in
inventory at May 31, 1988 and 1989. No software development Costs were
capitalized prior to 1988.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued:
INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax effects of timing
differences in reporting certain items for financial statement and income
tax purposes. The differences relate primarily to installment sales,
inventory and warranty reserves, reserve for doubtful accounts and
depreciation.
The Company intends to reinvest its share of the undistributed earnings of
its majority owned foreign subsidiaries. Therefore, it makes no provision
for additional U.S. taxes, which might result from distribution of such
earnings unless they are actually repatriated. At May 31, 1989, the
cumulative amount of earnings from subsidiaries on which the Company has
not provided U.S. income taxes was approximately $2,400,000.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (FAS No. 96), was issued in December 1987. The Company is required
to adopt the statement for its fiscal year ending May 31, 1991, although
early adoption is allowed. The change in accounting required by the
statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Net income per share has been computed using the treasury stock method
after considering the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants. Net
loss per share has been computed using the weighted average shares of
Common Stock outstanding as the affect of stock options and warrants is
antidilutive.

burn-in test equipment being developed and built by the Company under
contract. Deferred costs primarily include manufacturing direct material,
direct labor and overhead and tooling, and exclude research and development
that is expensed as incurred. This production contract is accounted for
under the units of delivery method. The latest scheduled delivery date
was August 15, 1989. Development problems have been experienced, which have
delayed shipment of the equipment. Additional development problems could
be encountered in the future, which could further delay shipment and
possibly lead to order cancellations. Initial product acceptance procedures
are expected to commence in December 1989. Management believes it will
meet its obligations under the contract. Currently, the contract may be
canceled by the customer in the event of noncompliance with the required
delivery schedule and the Company may incur a significant loss if the
contract. is canceled. Related progress payments received under the
contract of $197,000 included in customer deposits as of May 31, 1989, and
$874,000 received during June 1989, might be refundable in the event of the
customer's cancellation of the contract.

Company and each purchase under the option has been accounted for as a
step purchase. The cost in excess of the fair value of the net
assets acquired of $692,000 is being amortized on a straight-line

The Company leases most of its present manufacturing and office space under
operating leases which expire between fiscal 1990 and 1992. Under the
terms of certain leases, the rentals will be adjusted upward every
two years based on the Consumer Price Index but with increases not to
exceed 14% for any adjustment. The leases contain renewal options whereby
the Company may extend the lease term for up to an additional five years.
In addition, the Company is required to pay for insurance, taxes and
maintenance of the property. The Company is subleasing a portion of this
space under noncancelable subleases expiring in 1991.

9. COMMITMENTS, Continued:
The Company's Japanese subsidiary discounts notes receivable at banks in
the ordinary course of business. The proceeds of such discounting for
the years ended May 31, 1987, 1988 and 1989 were approximately
$4,533,000, $4,524,000 and $3,507,000, respectively. As of May 31, 1989
there were no trade notes receivable discounted at banks.
10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
In September 1988, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to
authorize the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and
75,000,000 shares of common stock, and to assign a par value of $.01
to each share. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the
rights of the preferred stockholders.
The financial statements have been restated to reflect this change.
11. COMMON STOCK:
Approximately 925,000 shares of common stock outstanding at May 31, 1989
have certain registration rights which are exercisable.
During fiscal 1987, the Company issued warrants to purchase 16,000 shares
of common stock at $6.00 per share to members of the Company's Board of
Directors. These transferable warrants, valued at $.60 each, are
exercisable at any time and expire five years from date of issuance. As of
May 31, 1989, the Company has reserved 16,000 shares of its common stock
for issuance upon exercise of these warrants.

12. STOCK OPTIONS:
The Company has reserved 1,025,000 shares of common stock for issuance to
employees and paid consultants under its three stock option plans. All
three plans provide that qualified options be granted at an exercise price
equal to the fair market value at the date of grant, as determined by
the Board of Directors (85% of fair market value in the case of
nonstatutory options and purchase rights and 110% of fair market value in
certain circumstances). Qualified options expire five years from date
of grant, nonqualified options ten years from date of grant, and stock
purchase rights six months from date of grant. Most options become
exercisable in increments over a four-year period from the date of grant.
Options to purchase approximately 121,000 shares were exercisable at
May 31, 1989.

You have requested waivers with regard to the following conditions of the

"Advances shall be limited to $5,000,000, or 80% of eligible accounts
receivable, whichever is less. Eligible accounts receivable is defined as total
accounts receivable less those accounts which are over 90 days past due from
invoice date, and those accounts due from Aehr Test-Japan."
Advances exceed eligible accounts receivable by $499,000 as of December 31,
1989.
"7. To be profitable on a pretax basis for the quarters ending August 1989,
