Introductory Note

On October 29, 2009, Hirsch International Corp. (the "Company"), Hirsch Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and HIC Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub") completed the previously announced merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger") with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 2, 2009, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (the "Merger Agreement"). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent is controlled by Paul Gallagher, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

Item 1.01

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

On October 29, 2009 the Company, Merger Sub and Parent (collectively referred to as the "Borrower") entered into a revolving loan agreement ("Loan Agreement") with Keltic Financial Partners II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership providing for availability (subject to certain terms and conditions) of a facility of up to $4,000,000 (the "Facility") for the purpose of facilitating the Merger and providing the Borrower with working capital support following the Merger. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms the Facility expires on October 29, 2012.

The Borrower may borrow up to the maximum amount of the Facility, provided that the Borrower has a sufficient borrowing base. The borrowing base equals (a) up to 85% of the net face amount of the Borrower’s "Eligible Receivables" (as defined in the Loan Agreement), plus (b) 30% of the "Value" (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of the Borrower’s "Eligible Inventory" (as defined in the Loan Agreement) provided that advances against Eligible Inventory may not exceed the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 or (ii) 50% of the borrowing base, less such reserves as Keltic may deem appropriate.

The loan interest rate is, at the option of the Lender, the greatest of (a) the prime rate plus 3.5% per annum, or (b) three month LIBOR plus 5.75% per annum or (c) 7.5% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of every month on the average daily unpaid principal amount at a fluctuating rate which is equal to the loan interest rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any "Default" or "Event of Default" (as defined under the Loan Agreement) the Borrower shall pay interest at rate that is 3.5% per annum above the then applicable loan interest rate. In addition to a $80,000 commitment fee, Keltic will also receive an annual facility fee in an amount equal to 1% per annum of the maximum facility amount and a collateral management fee of $1,500 per month (increased to $3,500 after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default). There is also a termination fee payable to Keltic as liquidated damages in the event that Borrower elects to terminate the Facility prior to the maturity date. This fee equals 10% of the maximum facility amount if Borrower elects to terminate the Facility prior to the first anniversary and declines thereafter.

The Loan Agreement contains standard borrower representations and warranties for asset based borrowing and a number of reporting obligations and affirmative and negative covenants. The Borrower is required, among other things, to provide Keltic with weekly borrowing base certificates, monthly reports, annual financial statements and other current and periodic financial, operating and business records and reports, as well as tax returns and such other information as Keltic may from time to time request.

The Borrower has agreed to, among other things, maintain its business and franchises, provide prompt notification of litigation or damage beyond certain agreed levels specified in the Loan Agreement and comply with all applicable government regulations. The Borrower has further undertaken to extend the Company’s main agreement with Tajima Industries Ltd., appoint a financial consultant as a director and dissolve a subsidiary after the conclusion of certain litigation. The Borrower must also achieve minimum specified levels of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization for certain specified quarterly and annual periods.

The Loan Agreement also includes certain negative covenants that, among other things, restricts the Borrower’s ability to create additional indebtedness, dispose of properties, incur liens, make distributions or dividends, or allow any person other than Paul Gallagher to be become President of the Borrower or exercise voting control of 50% or more of the common stock of Parent.

The Loan Agreement specifies certain Events of Default that include, among others, payment defaults, violations of affirmative and negative covenants in the Loan Agreement, imposition of certain liens, and events of insolvency and bankruptcy. Upon a Default or Event of Default Keltic may terminate or suspend its obligation to make further advances and upon an Event of Default Keltic may, among other things, accelerate the Facility repayment and declare all obligations under the Loan Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

The obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement are secured by the grant of a pledge and security interest over all of the assets of the Borrower, including cash collateral loan proceeds pledged by the Company in the initial amount of $500,000, by guarantees of Paul Gallagher personally and by Graphic Arts Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of the Company, and by a pledge of stock of the Company.

In connection with the Loan Agreement the Company has entered into a variety of ancillary agreements with Keltic including a Revolving Note, Depository Account Agreement, General Security Agreement and a Rider to the General Security Agreement – Trademarks.

The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement and the Facility constitutes a summary of the materials terms of the arrangement and does not describe all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement or the ancillary agreements executed in connection therewith.

Upon the effective time of the Merger, the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to the effective time of the merger ceased to have any rights as stockholders in the Company (other than their right to receive the Merger Consideration or their right to appraisal of their shares under Delaware law).

Item 5.01
