2.1 CREDIT EXTENSIONS. Borrower promises to pay to the order of
Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Bank to Borrower hereunder.
Borrower shall also pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of all Credit
Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof.
2.1.1 ADVANCES.
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Bank agrees to make Advances to Borrower in an aggregate outstanding
amount not to exceed the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base,
whichever is less. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 may be repaid and reborrowed at
any time during the term of this Agreement.
(b) Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will
notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m.
Pacific time, on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such
notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in
substantially the form of EXHIBIT B hereto. Bank is authorized to make Advances
under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible
Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in
Bank's discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have
become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic
notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible
Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank
harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance.
Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1 to
Borrower's deposit account.
(c) The Committed Revolving Line shall terminate on the
Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2. 1.1
and other amounts due under this Agreement (except as otherwise expressly
specified herein) shall be immediately due and payable.
2.2 OVERADVANCES. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of
Obligations owed by Borrower to Bank pursuant to Section 2. 1.1 of this
Agreement is greater than the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line or (ii)
the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount
of such excess.
2.3 INTEREST RATES, PAYMENTS, AND CALCULATIONS.
(a) INTEREST RATE. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b),
any Advances shall bear interest, on the average daily balance thereof, at a per
annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 1.00%, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if the
Borrower satisfies the Rate Reduction Conditions (as defined below), then the
Advances shall bear interest, on the average daily balance thereof, at a per
annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.25%, PROVIDED, FURTHER, the foregoing
rate reduction is to be considered effective on and after the date that Bank has
received and reviewed
-9-
<Page>
Borrower's financial statements evidencing compliance with such Rate Reduction
Conditions and Bank determines that such financial statements are acceptable to
the Bank. Regardless of the foregoing, under no circumstance shall the foregoing
rate reduction become effective at any time that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.
As used herein the term "RATE REDUCTION CONDITIONS" shall mean
the Borrower's compliance with both the following: (1) Borrower has attained,
and maintains, a Tangible Net Worth of at least $4,500,000 and (2) Borrower has
attained, and maintains, a ratio of Quick Assets to Current Liabilities of at
least 1.00 to 1.
(b) DEFAULT RATE. All Obligations consisting of principal
indebtedness shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate
applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) PAYMENTS. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable
on each Payment Date. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to debit any accounts with
Bank, including, without limitation, Account Number 3300119295 for payments of
principal and interest due on the Obligations and any other amounts owing by
Borrower to Bank. Bank will notify Borrower of all debits which Bank has made
against Borrower's accounts. Any such debits against Borrower's accounts in no
way shall be deemed a set-off. Any interest not paid when due shall be
compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.
(d) COMPUTATION. In the event the Prime Rate is changed
from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be
increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is
changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest
chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.4 CREDITING PAYMENTS. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of
payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment, whether directed to Borrower's deposit
account with Bank or to the Obligations or otherwise, shall be immediately
applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a
payment in respect of the Obligations unless such payment is of immediately
available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment
is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon
Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of
business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank
under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of
acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead
be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case
may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

additional fee shall be due and payable at such time that the amount of the
Committed Revolving Line is increased to an amount in excess of $1,500,000 and
the amount of such additional fee shall be equal to .25% of the amount of the
increase over $1,500,000. Such fees shall be deemed fully earned and
nonrefundable as of the Closing Date. Further, and in addition to the foregoing,
Borrower shall pay Bank an unused line fee, in addition to all interest and
other fees payable hereunder. The amount of such unused line fee shall be 0.375%
per annum multiplied by an amount equal to amount of applicable Committed
Revolving Line in effect from time to time MINUS the average daily balance of
the outstanding Loans. Such unused line fee shall be computed and paid
quarterly, in arrears, on the last day of January, April, July and October of
each year, commencing on April 30, 2000.

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank, reduce
the income receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to
any loans, Bank shall notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank
the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense

with respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; and (e) settle and adjust
disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for
amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; provided Bank may
exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the
documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and
every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed
and Bank's obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to
Borrower of Bank's security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such
Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive
in trust all payments as Bank's trustee, and if requested or required by Bank,
immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received
from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 BANK EXPENSES. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish
any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required
under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following:
(a) make payment of the same or any part thereof-, (b) set up such reserves
under the Committed Revolving Line as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from
the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance
policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any
action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid
or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due
and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove
provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank
shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future
or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. So long as Bank complies with
reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or
responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage
thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any
diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
-23-

9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.
Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not expressly set forth herein as
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right
or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of
Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank
shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank
shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank
and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given.
9.7 DEMAND; PROTEST. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice
of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and
guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

DATED: AUGUST 2, 2000
THIS AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT is entered into between SILICON VALLEY

Agreement.)
1. REVISED BORROWING BASE DEFINITION. The definition of "Borrowing
Base" as set forth in section 1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read
as follows:
"`Borrowing Base' means an amount equal to
(i) Eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts other than Eligible
Service Accounts; PLUS
(ii) the lesser of (A) Fifty percent (50%) of Eligible Service
Accounts or (B) Forty percent (40%) of all Advances
outstanding, PROVIDED that a Collateral audit, with results
satisfactory to the Bank, shall be conducted and be determined
to be satisfactory to the Bank, in its discretion, prior to
the requesting or making of any Advances under this clause
(ii); PLUS
(iii) the lesser of (A) Thirty percent (30%) of the value of
Borrower's Eligible Inventory (valued at the lower of cost or
wholesale fair market value) or (B) Three Hundred Thousand

on and after the date hereof."
2. REVISED ELIGIBLE ACCOUNTS. That portion of the definition of
"Eligible Accounts" that now reads as follows:
"(e) Accounts with respect to which the account debtor is a
federal, state, or local governmental entity or any

its rights to payment thereof to Bank and the assignment has
been acknowledged, pursuant to the

individuals who are the direct recipients of the foregoing services
shall not be considered Eligible Service Accounts."
Further, for purposes of all provisions of the Loan Agreement, including with
respect to the representations and covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement,

Advances and related provisions, Eligible Service Accounts shall be considered
Eligible Accounts.

Borrower's compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 6.10 of the Loan
Agreement is hereby waived for the periods ending June 30, 2000. It is

constitute a waiver of any other provision or term of the Loan Agreement or
any related document.
5. REVISION REGARDING COLLATERAL AUDITS. That portion of
Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement that now reads as follows:
"Bank shall have a right from time to time hereafter to audit

accounts payable shall be conducted and the results of such audit
are to be acceptable to the Bank in its reasonable discretion."

SILICON VALLEY BANK
AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
BORROWER: DIGIRAD CORPORATION
DATED: DECEMBER 29, 2000
THIS AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is entered into
between SILICON VALLEY BANK ("Bank") and the borrower named above (the
"Borrower"). The Parties agree to amend the Loan and Security Agreement between
them, dated April 1, 2000, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time
(the "Loan Agreement"), as follows, effective as of the date hereof (Capitalized
terms used but not defined in this Amendment, shall have the meanings set forth
in the Loan Agreement.)
1. LIMITED CONSENTS.
(a) Anything in the Loan Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, Bank hereby consents to each of the following; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no Event of Default (including without limitation in respect of
any financial covenant set forth in the Loan Agreement), or event, condition,
or default that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both,
would be an Event of Default (including without limitation in respect of any
financial covenant set forth in the Loan Agreement), has occurred and is
continuing, both immediately before and immediately after giving effect
thereto:
(i) Borrower's wholly-owned subsidiary, Orion
Imaging Systems, Inc. ("Orion"), may incur Indebtedness owing to Heller
Financial in anaggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000 at any one
time outstanding (the"Permitted Orion-Heller Indebtedness"). The
Permitted Orion-Heller Indebtedness shall constitute Permitted
Indebtedness of Orion.
(ii) Solely to secure the Permitted Orion-Heller
Indebtedness, Orion may grant a security interest in favor of Heller
Financial in solely Orion's "accounts" (as such term is defined in the
Code) (the "Permitted Orion-Heller-Lien"). The Permitted Orion-Heller
Lien shall constitute a Permitted Lien on the assets of Orion.
(iii) Borrower may guarantee, in favor of Heller
Financial, up to a maximum of $2,500,000 in respect of the Permitted
Orion-Heller Indebtedness, which guarantee shall be on an unsecured
basis (the "Permitted Borrower-Heller Guarantee"). The Permitted
Borrower-Heller Guarantee shall constitute Permitted Indebtedness of
Borrower.
(b) It is understood by the parties hereto, however,
that each of the foregoing limited consents of Bank does not constitute a
modification or waiver of any other provision or term of the Loan Agreement
or any related document or of any Event of Default.
-1-
<Page>
2. REPRESENTATIONS TRUE. Borrower represents and warrants to
Bank that (a) all representations and warranties in the Loan Agreement, as
amended hereby, are true and correct, and (b) no Event of Default, or event,
condition, or default that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time,
or both, would be an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing.
3. FEE; BANK EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee of
$1,000 in connection herewith, which shall be in addition to interest and to
all other amounts payable under the Loan Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall pay to Bank all Bank Expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation (and negotiation, if any),
execution, and delivery of this Amendment.
4. GENERAL PROVISIONS. This Amendment, the Loan Agreement, any
prior written amendments to the Loan Agreement signed by Bank and the
Borrower, and the other written documents and agreements between Bank and the
Borrower set forth in full all of the representations and agreements of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
discussions, representations, agreements and understandings between the
parties with respect to the subject hereof. Except as herein expressly
amended, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement, and all other
documents and agreements between Bank and the Borrower shall continue in full
force and effect and the same are hereby ratified and confirmed. This
Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, which when taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective

In order to induce Silicon to enter into this Agreement and to make

covenants that the following representations will continue to be true, and that
Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants:
3.1 CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND AUTHORITY. Borrower, if a corporation,
is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Borrower is
and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all
jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would have a material adverse effect
on Borrower. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this
Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and
validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with
their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Borrower's articles or
certificate of incorporation, or Borrower's by-laws, or any law or any material
agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (iv)
do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or
obligation under any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon
Borrower or its property.
3.2 NAME, TRADE NAMES AND STYLES. The name of Borrower set forth
in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule are
all prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower's present and prior trade names.
Borrower shall give Silicon 30 days' prior written notice before changing its
name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in
the future comply, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a
fictitious business name.
3.3 PLACE OF BUSINESS, LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. The address set
forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office. In
addition, Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the
locations set forth on the Schedule. Borrower will give Silicon at least 30 days
prior written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing
its chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other
than Borrower's Address or one of the locations set forth on the Schedule.*
*NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BORROWER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT
ALL OF BORROWER'S LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA ARE SALES OFFICES ONLY WITH
LITTLE OR NO ASSETS. ADDITIONALLY, DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER
SHALL NOT TRANSFER ANY ASSETS TO ANY SUBSIDIARY.
3.4 TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS. Borrower is now, and
will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except
for items of Equipment which are leased by Borrower. The Collateral now is and
will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests,
-2-
<Page>
encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Silicon now has,
and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security
interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and
Borrower will at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims
of others. None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property
in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not
and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the
lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now
prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower's
right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral
is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest (whether as
owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or otherwise),
Borrower shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use its best efforts to cause
such third party to execute and deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to
Silicon, such waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify, so as to
ensure that Silicon's rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be,
superior to the rights of any such third party. Borrower will keep in full force
and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease of real property
where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.
3.5 MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL. Borrower will maintain the
Collateral in good working condition, and Borrower will not use the Collateral
for any unlawful purpose. Borrower will immediately advise Silicon in writing of
any material loss or damage to the Collateral.
3.6 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower has maintained and will maintain
at Borrower's Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an
accounting system in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
3.7 FINANCIAL CONDITION, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS. All financial
statements now or in the future delivered to Silicon have been, and will be,
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and now and
in the future will completely and accurately reflect the financial condition of
Borrower, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date
covered by any such statement provided to Silicon and the date hereof, there has
been no material adverse change in the financial condition or business of
Borrower. Borrower is now and will continue to be solvent.
3.8 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS; PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS. Borrower has
timely filed, and will timely file, all tax returns and reports required by
foreign, federal, state and local law, and Borrower has timely paid, and will
timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits
and contributions now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however,
defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (i) in good faith
contests Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings
promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Silicon in
writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the
proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the
contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. Borrower is
unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's prior tax
years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by
Borrower. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to
fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation
plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw
from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the
occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could result
in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
Borrower shall, at all times, utilize the services of an outside payroll service
providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll taxes payable by Borrower.
3.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Borrower has complied, and will comply,
in all material respects, with all provisions of all foreign, federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to Borrower, including, but not limited to,
those relating to Borrower's ownership of real or personal property, the conduct
and licensing of Borrower's business, and all environmental matters.
3.10 LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, there is no
claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of
Borrower's knowledge) threatened by or against or affecting Borrower in any
court or before any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to
Borrower) which may result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any
material adverse change in the financial condition or business of Borrower, or
in any material impairment in the ability of Borrower to carry on its business
in substantially the same manner as it is now being conducted. Borrower will
promptly inform Silicon in writing of any claim, proceeding,
-3-
<Page>
litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted by or against
Borrower involving any single claim of $50,000 or more, or involving $100,000 or
more in the aggregate.
3.11 USE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used
solely for lawful business purposes. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any
"margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to
purchase or carry any "margin stock" or to extend credit to others for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock."
4. RECEIVABLES.
4.1 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower represents
and warrants to Silicon as follows: Each Receivable with respect to which Loans
are requested by Borrower shall, on the date each Loan is requested and made,
(i) represent an undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the
Account Debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the
rendition of services in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, and (ii)
meet the Minimum Eligibility Requirements set forth in Section 8 below.
4.2 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO DOCUMENTS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE.
Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows: All statements made and
all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents
evidencing the Receivables are and shall be true and correct and all such
invoices, instruments and other documents and all of Borrower's books and
records are and shall be genuine and in all respects what they purport to be,
and all signatories and endorsers have the capacity to contract. All sales and
other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Receivable shall fully
comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. All
signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements
relating to all Receivables are and shall be genuine, and all such documents,
instruments and agreements are and shall be legally enforceable in accordance
with their terms.
4.3 SCHEDULES AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower
shall deliver to Silicon transaction reports and loan requests, schedules and
assignments of all Receivables, and schedules of collections, all on Silicon's
standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower's failure to execute and
deliver the same shall not affect or limit Silicon's security interest and other
rights in all of Borrower's Receivables, nor shall Silicon's failure to advance
or lend against a specific Receivable affect or limit Silicon's security
interest and other rights therein. Loan requests received after 12:00 Noon will
not be considered by Silicon until the next Business Day. Together with each
such schedule and assignment, or later if requested by Silicon, Borrower shall
furnish Silicon with copies (or, at Silicon's request, originals) of all
contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all original
shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of
delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such
Receivables, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing.
Borrower shall also furnish to Silicon an aged accounts receivable trial balance
in such form and at such intervals as Silicon shall request. In addition,
Borrower shall deliver to Silicon the originals of all instruments, chattel
paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property
evidencing or securing any Receivables, immediately upon receipt thereof and in
the same form as received, with all necessary indorsements, all of which shall
be with recourse. Borrower shall also provide Silicon with copies of all credit
memos within two days after the date issued.
4.4 COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Borrower shall have the right to
collect all Receivables, unless and until a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred. Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Receivables in
trust for Silicon, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all such payments and
proceeds to Silicon in their original form, duly endorsed in blank, to be
applied to the Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine. Silicon
may, in its discretion, require that all proceeds of Collateral be deposited by
Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other "blocked account" as Silicon may
specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Silicon may
specify. Silicon or its designee may, at any time, notify Account Debtors that
the Receivables have been assigned to Silicon.
4.5. REMITTANCE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds arising from the
disposition of any Collateral shall be delivered, in kind, by Borrower to
Silicon in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the
following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the
Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine; provided that, if no
Default or Event of Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be obligated to
remit to Silicon the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete equipment
disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm's length transaction for an
aggregate purchase price of
-4-
<Page>
$25,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees
that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower's other
funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such
other funds and property and in an express trust for Silicon. Nothing in this
Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere
in this Agreement.
4.6 DISPUTES. Borrower shall notify Silicon promptly of all
disputes or claims relating to Receivables. Borrower shall not forgive
(completely or partially), compromise or settle any Receivable for less than
payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that Borrower may
do so, provided that: (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially
reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, and in arm's length
transactions, which are reported to Silicon on the regular reports provided to
Silicon; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(iii) taking into account all such discounts settlements and forgiveness, the
total outstanding Loans will not exceed the Credit Limit. Silicon may, at any
time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes or
claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Silicon
considers advisable in its reasonable credit judgment and, in all cases, Silicon
shall credit Borrower's Loan account with only the net amounts received by
Silicon in payment of any Receivables.
4.7 RETURNS. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower in the
ordinary course of its business, Borrower shall promptly determine the reason
for such return and promptly issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in
the appropriate amount (sending a copy to Silicon). In the event any attempted
return occurs after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall (i)
hold the returned Inventory in trust for Silicon, (ii) segregate all returned
Inventory from all of Borrower's other property, (iii) conspicuously label the
returned Inventory as Silicon's property, and (iv) immediately notify Silicon of
the return of any Inventory, specifying the reason for such return, the location
and condition of the returned Inventory, and on Silicon's request deliver such
returned Inventory to Silicon.
4.8 VERIFICATION. Silicon may, from time to time, verify directly
with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters
relating to the Receivables, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in
the name of Borrower or Silicon or such other name as Silicon may choose.

the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any
Receivable, or for settling any Receivable in good faith for less than the full
amount thereof, nor shall Silicon be deemed to be responsible for any of
Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to a

its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5.1 FINANCIAL AND OTHER COVENANTS. Borrower shall at all times

all times, in full force and effect. All such insurance policies shall name
Silicon as an additional loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee
endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Silicon. Upon receipt of the
proceeds of any such insurance, Silicon shall apply such proceeds in reduction

Silicon shall release to Borrower insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment

information obtained in any such inspection or audit, but Silicon shall have the
right to disclose any such information to its auditors, regulatory agencies, and
attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process. The foregoing
inspections and audits shall be at Borrower's expense and the charge therefor
shall be $650 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent
Silicon's then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out of
pocket expenses. Borrower will not enter into any agreement with any accounting
firm, service bureau or third party to store Borrower's books or records at any
location other than Borrower's Address, without first obtaining Silicon's
written consent, which may be conditioned upon such accounting firm, service
bureau or other third party agreeing to give Silicon the same rights with
respect to access to books and records and related rights as Silicon has under
this Loan Agreement.

Schedule, Borrower shall not, without Silicon's prior written consent, do any of

bonuses, commissions, and all other payments, whether directly or indirectly, in
money or otherwise, to Borrower's executives, officers and directors (or any
relative thereof) in an amount in excess of the amount set forth on the
Schedule; or (xiv) dissolve or elect to dissolve. Transactions permitted by the
foregoing provisions of this Section are only permitted if no Default or Event
of Default would occur as a result of such transaction.
*(EXCEPT FOR A PUBLIC OFFERING OF BORROWER'S EQUITY SECURITIES)
5.6 LITIGATION COOPERATION. Should any third-party suit or
proceeding be instituted by or against Silicon with respect to any Collateral or
in any manner relating to Borrower, Borrower shall, without expense to Silicon,
make available Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower's
books and records, to the extent that Silicon may deem them reasonably necessary
in order to prosecute or defend any such suit or proceeding.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on
any earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by Silicon or issued by another institution based upon an
application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Silicon,
then on such date Borrower shall provide to Silicon cash collateral in an amount
equal to the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees
and cost due or to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the
Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit, pursuant to Silicon's then

Agreement, all of Silicon's security interests in all of the Collateral and all
of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full; provided
that, without limiting the fact that Loans are subject to the discretion of
Silicon, Silicon may, its sole discretion refuse to make any further Loans after
termination. No termination shall in any way affect or impair any right or
remedy of Silicon, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any
Obligation to Silicon, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed
in full. Upon payment and performance in full of all the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement, Silicon shall promptly deliver to Borrower
termination statements, requests for re-conveyances and such other documents as
may be required to fully terminate Silicon's security interests.

Borrower hereby authorizes Silicon without judicial process to enter onto any of

cause a custodian to remain on the premises in exclusive control thereof,
without charge for so long as Silicon deems it reasonably necessary in order to
complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other
agreement; provided, however, that should Silicon seek to take possession of any
of the Collateral by Court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any
bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court
rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession; (ii) any demand for
possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession

Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the
purpose of removal, Silicon shall have the right to use Borrower's premises,
vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, equipment and all other property without

announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Silicon shall have the right to

times as Silicon deems reasonable, or on Silicon's premises, or elsewhere and
the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Silicon may
directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at
any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any
private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not
relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is
defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale;

comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably

and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable
to any of the Obligations. Without limiting any of Silicon's rights and
remedies, from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest
rate applicable to the Obligations shall be increased by an additional four
percent per annum.

following, in Borrower's name or otherwise, but Silicon agrees to exercise the
following powers in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of
Borrower any documents that Silicon may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable

present and future agreements; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower any document

future agreements. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable

Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal
to the
-9-
<Page>
highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event shall
Silicon's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Silicon's other
rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Silicon is in control of
the business, management or properties of Borrower.
7.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized, as the result
of any sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Silicon first to the
reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees
incurred by Silicon in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second
to the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of
the Obligations, in such order as Silicon shall determine in its sole
discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other persons legally
entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency.
If, Silicon, in its sole discretion, directly or indirectly enters into a
deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of
Collateral, Silicon shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole
discretion, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of
purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual
receipt by Silicon of the cash therefor.
7.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies
set forth in this Agreement, Silicon shall have all the other rights and
remedies accorded a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code
and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement
now or in the future entered into between Silicon and Borrower, and all of such
rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial
exercise by Silicon of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed
an election, nor bar Silicon from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any
other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon to exercise any rights
or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies
shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been
fully paid and performed.

the right to require, as a condition to its consent under subparagraph (iv)
above, that the holder of the additional security interest or lien sign an
intercreditor agreement on Silicon's then standard form, acknowledge that the
security interest is subordinate to the security interest in favor of Silicon,
and agree not to take any action to enforce its subordinate security interest so
long as any Obligations remain outstanding, and that Borrower agree that any
uncured default in any obligation secured by the subordinate security interest
shall also constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.
"PERSON" means any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, joint
venture, trust, unincorporated organization, association, corporation,
government, or any agency or political division thereof, or any other entity.
"RECEIVABLES" means all of Borrower's now owned and hereafter acquired
accounts (whether or not earned by performance), letters of credit, contract
rights, chattel paper, instruments, securities, securities accounts, investment
property, documents and all other forms of obligations at any time owing to
Borrower, all guaranties and other security therefor, all merchandise returned
to or repossessed by Borrower, and all rights of stoppage in transit and all
other rights or remedies of an unpaid vendor, lienor or secured party.
"RESERVES" means, as of any date of determination, such amounts as
Silicon may from time to time establish and revise in good faith reducing the
amount of Loans, Letters of Credit and other financial accommodations which
would otherwise be available to Borrower under the lending formula(s) provided
in the Schedule: (a) to reflect events, conditions, contingencies or risks
which, as determined by Silicon in good faith, do or may affect (i) the
Collateral or any other property which is security for the Obligations or its
value (including without limitation any increase in delinquencies of
Receivables), (ii) the assets, business or prospects of Borrower or any
Guarantor, or (iii) the security interests and other rights of Silicon in the
Collateral (including the enforceability, perfection and priority thereof); or
(b) to reflect Silicon's good faith belief that any collateral report or
financial information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or any Guarantor to
Silicon is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material
respect; or (c) in respect of any state of facts which Silicon determines in
good faith constitutes an Event of Default or may, with notice or passage of
time or both, constitute an Event of Default.

-12-
<Page>
9.1 INTEREST COMPUTATION. In computing interest on the
Obligations, all checks, and other items of payment received by Silicon
(including proceeds of Receivables and payment of the Obligations in full) shall
be deemed applied by Silicon on account of the Obligations three Business Days
after receipt by Silicon of immediately available funds*, and, for purposes of
the foregoing, any such funds received after 12:00 Noon on any day shall be
deemed received on the next Business Day. Silicon shall not, however, be
required to credit Borrower's account for the amount of any item of payment
which is unsatisfactory to Silicon in its sole discretion, and Silicon may
charge Borrower's loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is
returned to Silicon unpaid.
*(EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO WIRE TRANSFERS WHICH SHALL BE DEEMED APPLIED BY SILICON
ON ACCOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS THE SAME BUSINESS DAY AS DEEMED RECEIVED BY
SILICON)
9.2 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments with respect to the
Obligations may be applied, and in Silicon's sole discretion, reversed and
re-applied, to the Obligations, in such order and manner as Silicon shall
determine in its sole discretion.
9.3 CHARGES TO ACCOUNTS. Silicon may, in its discretion, require
that Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Silicon, or charge them to
Borrower's Loan account, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate
applicable to the Loans. Silicon may also, in its discretion, charge any
monetary Obligations to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.
9.4 MONTHLY ACCOUNTINGS. Silicon shall provide Borrower monthly
with an account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to
this Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on
Borrower and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of
payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Silicon), unless Borrower
notifies Silicon in writing to the contrary within thirty days after each
account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or admissions.
9.5 NOTICES. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery
service or by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt
requested, addressed to Silicon or Borrower at the addresses shown in the
heading to this Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one
party to the other party. Notices to Silicon shall be directed to the Commercial
Finance Division, to the attention of the Division Manager or the Division
Credit Manager. All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in
the case of notices personally delivered, or at the expiration of one Business
Day following delivery to the private delivery service, or two Business Days
following the deposit thereof in the United States mail, with postage prepaid.
9.6 SEVERABILITY. Should any provision of this Agreement be held
by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect
shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full
force and effect.
9.7 INTEGRATION. This Agreement and such other written agreements,
documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the
final, entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Silicon and supersede
all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and
agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. THERE ARE
NO ORAL UNDERSTANDINGS, REPRESENTATIONS OR AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES WHICH
ARE NOT SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN OTHER WRITTEN AGREEMENTS SIGNED BY THE
PARTIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.
9.8 WAIVERS. The failure of Silicon at any time or times to
require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement
or any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Silicon shall not
waive or diminish any right of Silicon later to demand and receive strict
compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any
other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of
the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by Borrower and delivered to Silicon shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or knowledge of Silicon or its agents or employees, but only
by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Silicon and
delivered to Borrower. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release,
compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper,
instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held
by Silicon on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any
action taken by Silicon, unless expressly required by this Agreement.

of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person
affiliated with or representing Silicon shall be liable for any claims, demands,
losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered
by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Silicon, or
any, of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other
Person affiliated with or representing Silicon, but nothing herein shall relieve
Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.10 AMENDMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not
be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly
authorized officer of Silicon.
9.11 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance by
Borrower of each and every obligation under this Agreement.
9.12 ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS. Borrower shall reimburse Silicon for
all reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing, recording, search, title
insurance, appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Silicon,
pursuant to, or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or
not a lawsuit is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs Silicon incurs in order to do the following: prepare
and negotiate this Agreement and the documents relating to this Agreement;
obtain legal advice in connection with this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or

Borrower's books and records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of,

SATISFYING BORROWER'S OBLIGATION HEREUNDER TO REIMBURSE SILICON FOR ATTORNEYS
FEES, BORROWER MAY, FOR CONVENIENCE, ISSUE CHECKS DIRECTLY TO SILICON'S
ATTORNEYS, LEVY, SMALL & LALLAS, BUT BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LEVY,
SMALL & LALLAS IS REPRESENTING ONLY SILICON AND NOT BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT. If either Silicon or Borrower files any lawsuit against the
other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such
action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees,
including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, decree, award or
judgment. All attorneys' fees and costs to which Silicon may be entitled
pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of Borrower's
Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to
the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.
9.13 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns,
heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Silicon; provided,
however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Silicon, and any prohibited
assignment shall be void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release
Borrower from its liability for the Obligations.
9.14 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than
one Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of
any claim with, or the re-lease of, any Borrower shall not constitute a
compromise with, or a release of, any other Borrower.
9.15 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any claim or cause of action by
Borrower against Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents,
accountants or attorneys, based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan
Agreement, or any other present or future document or agreement, or any other
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any
other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to
be done by Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or
attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an
action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a
complaint within* after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such
claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of a
summons and complaint on an officer of Silicon, or on any other person
authorized to accept service on behalf of Silicon, within thirty (30) days
thereafter. Borrower agrees that such** period is a reasonable and sufficient
time for Borrower to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action.
The** period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by
the written consent of Silicon in its sole discretion. This provision shall
survive any termination of this Loan Agreement or any other present or future
agreement.

An amount not to exceed the lesser of a total of $4,300,000 at
any one time outstanding (the "Maximum Credit Limit"), or the
sum of (a) and (b) below:
(a) 75% (the "Percentage Advance Rate") of the
amount of Borrower's Eligible Receivables
(as defined in Section 8 above), plus
(b) an amount not to exceed the lesser of:
(1) 25% of the value of Borrower's
Eligible Inventory (as defined in
Section 8 above), calculated at the
lower of cost or market value and
determined on a first-in, first-out
basis, or
(2) 50% of the amount of Borrower's
Eligible Receivables (as defined in
Section 8 above), or
(3) $300,000.
The foregoing Percentage Advance Rate is typically based on
the quality of the Receivables and attendant Dilution as
follows: up to 85% Percentage Advance Rate with 5% Dilution;
up to 80% Percentage Advance Rate with Dilution over 5 % but
less than 10%; up to 75% Percentage
1
<Page>
Advance Rate when Dilution is over 10% but less than 15%. If
Dilution exceeds 15%, a reserve is established for the
dilution factor rounded up to the nearest whole number then
multiplied by a factor of up to 75%.
As used above, "Dilution" means all deductions from
Receivables by Account Debtors of Borrower, other than those
arising from payment thereof, and includes without limitation
deductions arising from advertising and other allowances,
credit memos, returns, bad debts, and all other deductions, as
determined by Silicon's audit and for such period as Silicon
shall determine. Changes in the Percentage Advance Rate based
on Dilution shall go into effect when Silicon has determined
the amount of the Dilution and given written notice to the
Borrower of the change in the Percentage Advance Rate. If, as
a result of a decrease in the Percentage Advance Rate, the
total Loans and other Obligations exceed the Credit Limit, the
Borrower shall pay the excess to Silicon in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
Moreover, prior to any increase in the Percentage Advance Rate
going into effect, the delinquency rate with respect to the
Borrower's Receivables must be satisfactory to Silicon in its
sole discretion.

A rate equal to the "Prime Rate" in effect from time to time,
plus 2.0% per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
"Prime Rate" means the rate announced from time to time by
Silicon as its "prime rate;" it is a base rate upon which
other rates charged by Silicon are based, and it is not
necessarily the best rate available at Silicon. The interest
rate applicable to the Obligations shall change on each date
there is a change in the Prime Rate.
