SILICON VALLEY BANK
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Borrower: CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Address: 00 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000
Date: March 19, 2001
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on the above date between
SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California-chartered bank, with its principal place of
business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and with a loan
production office located at One Xxxxxx Executive Park, Suite 200, 0000
Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 ("Silicon") and the borrower
named above (the "Borrower"), with offices located at the above address
("Borrower's Address"). The Schedule and Exhibits to this Agreement (the
"Schedule" and the "Exhibits," respectively) shall for all purposes be deemed to
be part of this Agreement, and the same are integral parts of this Agreement.
(Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8
below.)
1. LOANS.
------
1.1 LOANS. Silicon will make loans to Borrower (the "Loans"), in amounts
determined by Silicon in its commercially reasonable discretion, up to the
amounts (the "Credit Limit") shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to deduction of any
Reserves for accrued interest and such other Reserves as Silicon deems proper
from time to time.
1.2 INTEREST. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear
interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to
the contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, on the last
day of the month. Interest may, in Silicon's discretion, be charged to
Borrower's loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same
rate as the other Loans. Silicon may, in its discretion, charge interest to
Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.
1.3 OVERADVANCES. If at any time or for any reason the total of all
outstanding Loans and all other Obligations exceeds the Credit Limit (an
"Overadvance"), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to
Silicon, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower's obligation to
repay to Silicon on demand the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay
Silicon interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at a
rate equal to the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable to the
Overadvance, plus an additional two percent (2%) per annum.
1.4 FEES. Borrower shall pay Silicon the fees shown on the Schedule, which
are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Silicon and are not
refundable.
1.5 LETTERS OF CREDIT. At the request of Borrower, Silicon may, in its
sole discretion, issue or arrange for the issuance of letters of credit for the
account of Borrower, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Silicon
in its sole discretion (collectively, "Letters of Credit"). The aggregate face
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit from time to time (plus all Silicon
exposure under any foreign exchange contracts) shall not exceed the amount shown
on the Schedule (the "Letter of Credit Sublimit"), and shall be reserved against
Loans which would otherwise be available hereunder. Borrower shall pay all bank
charges (including charges of Silicon) for the
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
issuance of Letters of Credit, together with such additional fee as Silicon's
letter of credit department shall charge in connection with the issuance of the
Letters of Credit. Any payment by Silicon under or in connection with a Letter
of Credit shall constitute a Loan hereunder on the date such payment is made.
Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than thirty days prior
to the Maturity Date. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold
Silicon harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments
made by Silicon, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon
arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit. Borrower agrees to
be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of
Credit guarantied by Silicon and opened for Borrower's account or by Silicon's
interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Silicon for Borrower's
account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Silicon shall not be liable
for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in
following Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or
any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands that
Letters of Credit may require Silicon to indemnify the issuing bank for certain
costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such issuing
bank. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Silicon harmless with respect
to any loss, cost, expense, or liability incurred by Silicon under any Letter of
Credit as a result of Silicon's indemnification of any such issuing bank. The
provisions of this Loan Agreement, as it pertains to Letters of Credit, and any
other present or future documents or agreements between Borrower and Silicon
relating to Letters of Credit are cumulative.
2. SECURITY INTEREST.
-----------------
2.1 SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of all of the
Obligations when due, and the performance of each of the Borrower's duties under
this Agreement and all documents executed in connection herewith, Borrower
hereby grants to Silicon a continuing security interest in all of Borrower's
interest in the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever
located: All Inventory, Equipment, Receivables, and General Intangibles,
including, without limitation, all of Borrower's Intellectual Property, all of
Borrower's Deposit Accounts, and all money, and all property now or at any time
in the future in Silicon's possession (including claims and credit balances),
and all proceeds (including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of
proceeds and claims against third parties), all products and all books and
records related to any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing, together with all
other property in which Silicon may now or in the future be granted a lien or
security interest, is referred to herein, collectively, as the "Collateral").
The security interest granted herein shall be a first priority security interest
in the Collateral. Silicon may place a "hold" on any Deposit Account pledged as
collateral.
2.2 CONCERNING REVISED ARTICLE 9 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. In
anticipation of the possible application, in one or more jurisdictions to the
transactions contemplated hereby, of the revised Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code in the form or substantially in the form approved by the
American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform
State Law and contained in the 1999 Official Text of the Uniform Commercial Code
("Revised Article 9"), it is hereby agreed that applying the law of any
jurisdiction in which Revised Article 9 is in effect, the Collateral is all
assets of the Borrower, whether or not within the scope of Revised Article 9.
The Collateral shall include, without limitation, the following categories of
assets as defined in Revised Article 9: goods (including inventory, equipment
and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes),
documents, accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables, and license
fees), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts,
letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a
writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property,
general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software, but excluding
Intellectual Property), supporting obligations and any and all proceeds of any
thereof, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. If the
Borrower shall at any time, whether or not Revised Article 9 is in effect in any
particular jurisdiction, acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in Revised
Article 9, the Borrower shall promptly notify Silicon in a writing signed by the
Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Silicon in such writing a
security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to
Silicon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER.
---------------------------------------------------------
In order to induce Silicon to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans,
Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows, and Borrower 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), (iii) do not violate Borrower's articles or certificate of
incorporation, 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, changing its state of formation or moving any of the
Collateral to a location other than Borrower's Address or one of the locations
set forth on the Schedule. In addition, the Borrower shall not be permitted to
maintain any Collateral with a value (as determined by Silicon) in excess of
$1,000,000.00 in the aggregate at its LaVergne, Tennessee location set forth on
the Schedule.
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, 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 in all material respects 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
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 material 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, 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
working capital 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
4
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. The Borrower shall furnish Silicon with loan
requests thirty (30) days prior to the requested funding date. Together with
each such loan request, 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 endorsements, 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 cause the Account Debtors to
remit all Receivables to Silicon and Silicon shall hold all payments on, and
proceeds of, Receivables in 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. All such payments on, and proceeds of, Receivables shall be
applied to the Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine. Silicon or
its designee may, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, 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 (other than the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of
business) 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 $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 4.5
limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement.
4.6 DISPUTES. Borrower shall notify Silicon promptly of all material
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
5
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
4.9 NO LIABILITY. Silicon shall not under any circumstances be responsible
or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction
of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to a
Receivable, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in
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
Receivable. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Silicon from liability for
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5. ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF THE BORROWER.
---------------------------------
5.1 FINANCIAL AND OTHER COVENANTS. Borrower shall at all times comply with
the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.
5.2 INSURANCE. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the tangible
personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with
insurers reasonably acceptable to Silicon, in such form and amounts as Silicon
may reasonably require, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to
Silicon, so that Silicon is satisfied that such insurance is, at 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 of the Obligations as
Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion, except that, provided no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Silicon shall release to
Borrower insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment totaling less than
$100,000, which shall be utilized by Borrower for the replacement of the
Equipment with respect to which the insurance proceeds were paid. Silicon may
require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so
used. If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Silicon may, but is
not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly
deliver to Silicon copies of all reports made to insurance companies.
5.3 REPORTS. Borrower, at its expense, shall provide Silicon with the
written reports set forth in the Schedule, and such other written reports with
respect to Borrower (including budgets, sales projections, operating plans and
other financial documentation), as Silicon shall from time to time reasonably
specify.
6
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.4 ACCESS TO COLLATERAL, BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times, and on
one Business Day's notice, Silicon, or its agents, shall have the right to
inspect the Collateral, and the right to audit and copy Borrower's books and
records. Silicon shall take reasonable steps to keep confidential all
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 $600 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. Borrower waives the benefit of any accountant-client
privilege or other evidentiary privilege precluding or limiting the disclosure,
divulgence or delivery of any of its books and records (except that Borrower
does not waive any attorney-client privilege).
5.5 NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Except as may be permitted in the Schedule,
Borrower shall not, without Silicon's prior written consent, do any of the
following: (i) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity; (ii)
acquire any assets, except in the ordinary course of business, provided,
however, that the acquisition of dental and dental related products and
technologies and other pharmaceutical applications as described in the
Borrower's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be
permitted; (iii) except for that certain private placement of Borrower's Common
Stock, as contemplated by Borrower's February 2001Private Placement Memorandum,
enter into any other transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv)
sell or transfer any Collateral, except for the sale of finished Inventory in
the ordinary course of Borrower's business, and except for the sale of obsolete
or unneeded Equipment in the ordinary course of business; (v) store any
Inventory or other Collateral with any warehouseman or other third party; except
as disclosed to Silicon in writing, provided that such third parties have
entered into such agreements with Silicon as Silicon may reasonably require;
(vi) sell any Inventory on a sale-or-return, guaranteed sale, consignment, or
other contingent basis; (vii) make any loans of any money or other assets,
except for advancement of employee expenses in accordance with the Borrower's
employee policies; (viii) incur any debts outside the ordinary course of
business; (ix) guarantee or otherwise become liable with respect to the
obligations of another party or entity; (x) pay or declare any dividends on
Borrower's stock (except for dividends payable solely in stock of Borrower and
except for dividends payable to holders of the Borrower's Series D Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Stock") ); (xi) except pursuant to
the terms of Borrower's Series D Stock redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise
acquire, directly or indirectly, any of Borrower's stock; (xii) make any change
in Borrower's capital structure which would have a material adverse effect on
Borrower or on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations; (xiii) pay total
compensation, including salaries, fees, 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 5.5
are only permitted if no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of
such transaction.
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.
5.7 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by
Silicon, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Silicon may deem
reasonably necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain Silicon's
perfected security interest in the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. TERM.
----
6.1 MATURITY DATE. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the
maturity date set forth on the Schedule (the "Maturity Date"); provided that the
Maturity Date may be extended upon written agreement of the parties hereto.
6.2 PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier
effective date of termination, Borrower shall pay and perform in full all
Obligations, whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or
not all or any part of such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable.
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
standard form cash pledge agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this
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, Silicon may, in 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 written
termination of this Agreement by Silicon, Silicon shall promptly deliver to
Borrower termination statements, requests for reconveyances and such other
documents as may be required to fully terminate Silicon's security interests.
7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
------------------------------
7.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following events shall
constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement, and Borrower shall give
Silicon immediate written notice thereof: (a) Any warranty, representation,
statement, report or certificate made or delivered to Silicon by Borrower or any
of Borrower's officers, employees or agents, now or in the future, shall be
untrue or misleading in a material respect; or (b) Borrower shall fail to pay

more of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to
Borrower under this Agreement or any other document or agreement; (b) Accelerate
and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable,
and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by
any instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligation; (c) Take possession of
any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found, and for that purpose
Borrower hereby authorizes Silicon without judicial process to enter onto any of
Borrower's premises without interference to search for, take possession of,
keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral, and remain on the premises or
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

condition at the time Silicon obtains possession of it or after further
manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or private sales,
in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to
adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral
announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Silicon shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time or
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

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;

the like for less than face value; (h) Offset against any sums in any of
Borrower's general, special or other Deposit Accounts with Silicon; and (i)

and obligations incurred by Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added
to and become part of the 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. Without limiting any of Silicon's rights
9
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 (4%) per annum.
7.3 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. Borrower and
Silicon agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, "sale") of any
Collateral which complies with the following standards will conclusively be
deemed to be commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to
Borrower at least seven days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public
sale, notice of the sale is published at least seven days before the sale in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county where the sale is to be
conducted; (ii) Notice of the sale describes the collateral in general,
non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is conducted at a place designated by
Silicon, with or without the Collateral being present; (iv) The sale commences
at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m; (v) Payment of the purchase price in
cash or by cashier's check or wire transfer is required; (vi) With respect to
any sale of any of the Collateral, Silicon may (but is not obligated to) direct
any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from Borrower any and all
information concerning the same. Silicon shall be free to employ other methods
of noticing and selling the Collateral, in its discretion, if they are
commercially reasonable.
7.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event
of Default, without limiting Silicon's other rights and remedies, Borrower
grants to Silicon an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest,
authorizing and permitting Silicon (acting through any of its employees,
attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or
without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower's expense, to do any or all of the
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
in order to perfect and maintain Silicon's security interest in the Collateral,
or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or Silicon, or in order to fully
consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other
present and future agreements; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower any document
exercising, transferring or assigning any option to purchase, sell or otherwise
dispose of or to lease (as lessor or lessee) any real or personal property which
is part of Silicon's Collateral or in which Silicon has an interest; (c) Execute
on behalf of Borrower, any invoices relating to any Receivable, any draft
against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of
claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanic's, materialman's or
other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic's, materialman's or other
lien; (d) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or
proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any instruments, or
documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Silicon's
possession; (e) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by
Silicon; (f) Pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security
interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (g)
Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and
General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other
documents in connection therewith; (h) Pay any sums required on account of
Borrower's taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (i)
Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any
of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (j) Instruct any third party
having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to,
Borrower to give Silicon the same rights of access and other rights with respect
thereto as Silicon has under this Agreement; and (k) Take any action or pay any
sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other present or
future agreements. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable
costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by
Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the
Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal
to the 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
10
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Massachusetts 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.

checks, wire transfers 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

13
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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

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.

14
Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 seek to enforce, any of
its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors;
commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceeding; initiate any
complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute
any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; examine,
audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of Borrower's books and
records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce

in any litigation relating to Borrower. In satisfying Borrower's obligation
hereunder to reimburse Silicon for attorneys fees, Borrower may, for
convenience, issue checks directly to Silicon's attorneys, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx,
LLP, but Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx, LLP 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, Silicon 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 Section 9.12 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 RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Borrower and any guarantor hereby grant to Silicon,
a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all Obligations to
Silicon, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all
deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession,

9.15 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 release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise
with, or a release of, any other Borrower.
9.16 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 one year after the first act, occurrence or omission was known
or should have been known to Borrower 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
one-year period is a reasonable and sufficient time for Borrower to investigate
and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year 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.

this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Silicon acknowledge that the
headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable
section, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit,
define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. The term
"including", whenever used in this Agreement, shall mean "including (but not
limited to)". This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the
parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this
Agreement shall be construed strictly against Silicon or Borrower under any rule
of construction or otherwise.
9.18 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; VENUE. This Agreement and all acts and
transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of Silicon and Borrower
shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As a

indirectly to this Agreement shall, at Silicon's option, be litigated in state
or federal courts located within Massachusetts; (ii) consents to the
jurisdiction and venue of any such court and consents to service of process in

jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change the venue of any such
action or proceeding, provided, however, that if for any reason Silicon cannot
avail itself of such courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Borrower
accepts jurisdiction of the courts and venue in Santa Clara, California.
