RECITALS
A. Xenogen and Bank entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated September 10, 2003, which has been amended by that certain Loan Modification Agreement dated March 26, 2004, that certain Loan Modification Agreement dated July 1, 2004, that certain Loan Modification Agreement dated September 30, 2004 and that certain Loan Modification Agreement dated March 31, 2005 (collectively referred to as the “Loan Agreement”).
B. Xenogen has requested that Bank amend the Loan Agreement to, among other things, increase the available amount of credit, extend the Revolving Maturity Date and add XBC, its wholly owned subsidiary, as a borrower, and Bank is willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
C. The parties desire to amend and restate herein the Loan Agreement in its entirety to effectuate these changes and consolidate the prior modifications.
D. This Agreement shall amend, re-evidence, restate and supercede in full the Loan Agreement, but shall not evidence a novation or a release or relinquishment of the priority of the security interests granted in connection with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and other documents executed in connection with the Loan Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein contained, Borrowers and Bank agree as follows:
1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Credit Extensions.
Borrowers will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.
- 1 -
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
(a) Bank will make advances to Borrowers as follows:
(i) Bank will make Advances not exceeding an aggregate of $13,000,000 (the “Committed Revolving Line”), minus (A) amounts deemed outstanding under the Cash Management Services Sublimit, and minus (B) the amounts of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit).
(ii) Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.
(iii) Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time by: (1) providing Bank with notice three (3) Business Days prior to such termination; (2) paying Bank all outstanding Obligations at such time (including principal and accrued interest); and (3) paying Bank a termination premium equal to the product of: (y) the Minimum Interest (calculated using the Applicable Interest Rate in effect on the effective date of such termination) multiplied by (z) the number of full or partial months remaining from the effective date of such termination through the Revolving Maturity Date.
(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrowers must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 noon Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. A Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B, which shall be binding against both Borrowers and to the extent only signed by one Borrower, any representations made by the signing Borrower shall be deemed a representation made by the non-signing Borrower. Bank will credit Advances to the signing Borrower’s deposit account. Each Advance must be in a minimum amount of $100,000. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.
(c) The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.
2.1.2 Cash Management Services Sublimit.
Borrowers may use up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for Bank’s Cash Management Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the “Cash Management Services”). All amounts Bank pays for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line.
- 2 -
2.1.3 Letters of Credit Sublimit.
Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit (“Letters of Credit”) for Borrowers’ account not exceeding (i) the Committed Revolving Line, minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus the Cash Management Sublimit; however, the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may not exceed $2,000,000. Borrowers’ outstanding reimbursement obligation hereunder will be secured by unencumbered cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time upon the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrowers agree to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.
2.2 Overadvances.
If Borrowers’ Obligations under Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3 exceed the Committed Revolving Line, Borrowers must immediately pay Bank the excess.
2.3 Interest Rate, Payments.
(a) Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Commencing on June 30, 2004, regardless of the amount of Advances that may be outstanding from time to time, Borrowers shall pay Bank on a monthly basis (and on the Revolving Maturity Date) during the term of this Agreement, the greater of (i) the actual interest accrued by the Advances or (ii) the Minimum Interest.
(b) Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on the first day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrowers’ deposit accounts including Account Number 3300374106 for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrowers owe Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrowers’ accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.
2.4 Fees.
Borrowers will pay:
(a) Loan Fee. Borrowers shall pay Bank a loan fee in the amount of $248,333, fully earned on the Closing Date and payable as follows: (i) $118,333 payable on the Closing Date and (ii) $130,000 payable on the earlier of: (1) the first anniversary of the Closing Date or (2) the termination of this Agreement. A good faith deposit of $25,000 has already been paid to Bank and will be credited to the amount due on the Closing Date.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
- 3 -
(c) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses incurred through and after the date of this Agreement, are payable when due.
3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS
3.1 Conditions Precedent to continued Credit Extensions.
Bank’s obligation to continue making Credit Extensions is subject to the following conditions precedent:
(a) receipt by Bank of the each Borrower’s resolution authorizing the transaction in form and substance satisfactory to Bank;
(b) receipt by Bank of the Loan Fee due on the Closing Date;
(c) receipt by Bank of Xenogen’s consolidated financial projections approved by Xenogen’s Board of Directors; and
(d) receipt by Bank of all other agreement and documents that Bank may reasonably require.
3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions.

(a) timely receipt of any Payment/Advance Form; and
(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be materially true on the date of the Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing, or result from the Credit Extension (provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to another date shall be materially true as of such date). Each Credit Extension is Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties of Section 5 remain true.
4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 Grant of Security Interest.
Borrowers grant Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each Borrower’s material duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest granted herein does not extend to and the term “Collateral” does not include any license or contract rights to the extent (i) the granting of a security interest in it would be contrary to applicable law, or (ii) that such rights are nonassignable by their terms (but only to the extent
- 4 -
such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 9406 of the Code) without the consent of the licensor or other party (but only to the extent such consent has not been obtained). Except as disclosed on the Schedule, neither Borrower is a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other similar agreement that prohibits or otherwise restricts such Borrower from granting a security interest in such Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Without prior notice to Bank, neither Borrower shall enter into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on such Borrower’s business or financial condition. Borrowers shall take such steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for such licenses or contract rights to be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrowers fully satisfy their Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the term Collateral shall not include any property that is subject to a Lien that is otherwise permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and Bank agrees to execute any instruments or documents necessary to release its interest in such property and to effect the foregoing. Bank agrees to terminate its security interest and any relating UCC-1 financing statements upon payment in full, in immediately available funds, of the Obligations.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to Bank, as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Credit Extension that:
5.1 Due Organization and Authorization.
Each Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrowers’ formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which either Borrower is bound. Borrowers are not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.2 Collateral.
Borrowers have good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrowers have no other deposit accounts, other than the deposit accounts described in the Schedule. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and
- 5 -
unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrowers, after the date hereof, intend to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a bailee, then Borrowers will receive the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Neither Borrower has notice of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are an Eligible Account. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.
5.3 Litigation.
Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrowers’ Responsible Officers and legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrowers or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
5.4 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.
All consolidated financial statements of Xenogen (which includes each Subsidiary), delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Xenogen’s consolidated financial condition and its consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Xenogen’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.
5.5 Solvency.
The fair salable value of each Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; each Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and each Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
5.6 Regulatory Compliance.
Neither Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Neither Borrower is engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrowers have complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower has violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrowers’ or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by Borrowers or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
- 6 -
5.7 Subsidiaries.
Borrowers do not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8 Full Disclosure.
No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrowers in any certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements to Bank) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading. It being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrowers in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results.
6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
On a continuing basis from the date of this Agreement until the Indebtedness is paid in full and Borrowers have performed all of their other obligations hereunder and under each other Loan Document, Borrowers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree that:
6.1 Government Compliance.
Each Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect on either Borrower’s business or operations. Borrowers will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on either Borrower’s business or operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
6.2 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates.
(a) Xenogen will deliver to Bank: (i) as soon as available, but no later than 30 days after the last day of each month, a company prepared consolidated balance sheet and income statement covering Xenogen’s consolidated operations during the period, in a form and certified by a Responsible Officer acceptable to Bank; (ii) as soon as available, but no later than 120 days after the last day of Xenogen’s fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP, consistently applied, together with an opinion that is unqualified (other than on going concern qualification) or otherwise consented to by Bank on the financial statements from an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank; (iii) within 5 days of filing, copies of all statements, reports and notices generally made available to each
- 7 -

To the extent available, Xenogen may comply with the requirements in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above by delivering an email with a link to any of the required documents that have been publicly filed.
(b) Monthly, within 30 days after the last day of each month, Borrowers will deliver to Bank aged listings of accounts receivable and accounts payable, and a detailed Deferred Revenue Schedule.
(c) Within 30 days after the last day of each month, Xenogen will deliver to Bank with the monthly consolidated financial statements a Compliance Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in the form of Exhibit C.
(d) Bank has the right to audit Borrower’s Collateral at Borrowers’ expense, but the audits will be conducted no more often than once every year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
6.3 Inventory; Returns.
Borrowers will keep all Inventory in good and marketable condition, free from material defects. Returns and allowances between any Borrower and its account debtors will follow that Borrower’s customary practices as they exist at execution of this Agreement. Borrowers must promptly notify Bank of all returns, recoveries, disputes and claims, that involve more than $300,000 in the aggregate in any one fiscal year.
6.4 Taxes.
Each Borrower will make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of all material federal, state, and local taxes or assessments, and will deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment; provided that Borrowers or a Subsidiary need not make any payment if the amount or validity of such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and is reserved against to the extent required by GAAP.
6.5 Insurance.
Each Borrower will keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts, as Bank may reasonably request. Insurance policies will be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Bank in Bank’s reasonable discretion. All property policies will have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as an additional loss payee and all liability policies will show the Bank as an additional insured and provide that the insurer must give Bank at least 20 days notice before canceling its policy. At Bank’s request, Borrowers will
- 8 -
deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at Borrowers’ option, be payable to the affected Borrower to replace the property subject to the claim, provided that any such replacement property shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, at Bank’s option, proceeds payable under any policy will be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.
6.6 Accounts.
Borrowers will maintain their primary operating accounts with Bank. Additionally, each Borrower shall maintain no less than 85% of its cash and cash equivalents in deposit or investment accounts maintained at Bank or one of Bank’s Affiliates.
6.7 Notice of Management Change.

Xenogen will maintain, at all times, a Remaining Months Liquidity Ratio of at least (i) 4.0:1.0 until October 31, 2005 and (ii) 6.0:1.0 thereafter, measured on a rolling three-month basis.
6.9 Control Agreements.
With respect to deposit accounts or investment accounts maintained at financial institutions other than Bank, within 15 days of the opening of any such deposit account or investment account (or of the Closing Date for any deposit accounts and investment accounts existing as of the Closing Date), each Borrower will execute and deliver to Bank, control agreements in form satisfactory to Bank in order for Bank to perfect its security interest in each Borrower’s deposit accounts or investment accounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bank will not require a control agreement on Borrowers’ existing Bank of America account so long as within 30 days of the Closing Date, such account is either (i) closed or (ii) set-up as an overnight sweep account to Borrowers’ primary operating account held with Bank.
6.10 Further Assurances.
Borrowers will execute any further instruments and take further action as Bank reasonably requests to perfect or continue Bank’s security interest in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Rights and Remedies.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrowers’ benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between either Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;
(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrowers grant Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
(e) Bank may place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any control agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral.
(f) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrowers it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers;
(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrowers’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; and
- 14 -
(h) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney.
Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, each Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign either Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Accounts Collection.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing either Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses.
If any Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
- 15 -
9.6 Remedies Cumulative.
Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand Waiver.
Borrowers each waive demand, 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 held by Bank on which Borrowers are liable.
9.8 Suretyship Waivers.
Each Borrower hereby expressly waives (A) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest, benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability under the Loan Documents; (B) discharge due to any disability of any Borrower; (C) any defenses of any Borrower to obligations under the Loan Documents not arising under the express terms of the Loan Documents or from a material breach thereof by Borrower which under applicable law has the effect of discharging any Borrower from the Obligations as to which this Agreement is sought to be enforced; (D) the benefit of any act or omission by Borrower which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any Borrower from any of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise; (E) except as expressly provided herein, all notices whatsoever, including, without limitation, notice of acceptance of the incurring of the Obligations; (F) any right it may have to require Borrower to disclose to it any information that Borrower may now or hereafter acquire concerning the financial condition or any circumstances that bears on the risk of nonpayment by any other Borrower, including, without limitation, the release of such other Borrower from its Obligations hereunder; and (G) any requirement that Borrower exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any other Borrower or any other security for, or any guarantor of, or any other party liable for, any of the Obligations, or any portion thereof. Each Borrower specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required, and Borrowers shall not be entitled to require, that Borrower (i) file suit or proceed to assert or obtain a claim for personal judgment against any other Borrower for all or any part of the Obligations; (ii) make any effort at collection or enforcement of all or any part of the Obligations from any Borrower; (iii) foreclose against or seek to realize upon any security now or hereafter existing for all or any part of the Obligations; (iv) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against any Borrower or any guarantor or other party liable for all or any part of the Obligations; (v) exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which Borrower is or may be entitled in connection with the Obligations or any security or guaranty relating thereto to assert; or (vi) file any claim against assets of one Borrower before or as a condition of enforcing the liability of any other Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
- 16 -
Borrower expressly waives the benefit of California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2848 (until such time as the Obligations are satisfied in full), 2849 (until such time as the Obligations are satisfied in full), 2850, 2899 and 1432.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY, EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES:
(a) Any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law, contract or otherwise) to require the marshaling of any assets of any Borrower, which right of marshaling might otherwise arise from any such payments made or obligations performed;
(b) Until such time as the Obligations have been satisfied in full, any and all rights that would result in such Borrower being deemed a “creditor” under the bankruptcy code of any other Borrower or any other person, on account of payments made or obligations performed by such Borrower; and
(c) Until such time as the Obligations have been satisfied in full, any claim, right or remedy which it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by it hereunder including, without limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Bank against any other Borrower or any collateral security which Bank now have or may hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise (including without limitation under section 9.9 hereof).
9.9 Right of Contribution.
Borrowers under this Agreement together desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, the Obligations, provided that, with respect to a Borrower as of any date of determination, the largest amount that may be borrowed by or allocated to such Borrower is an amount that would not render its Obligations subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state or foreign law. Solely for purposes of calculating the amount with respect to any Borrower for purposes of this Section 9.9, any assets or liabilities of such Borrower arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Borrower. The allocation among Borrowers of their obligations as set forth in this Section 9.9 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

The Schedule to this Agreement (the “Schedule”) shall for all purposes be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and the same is an integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.) This Agreement shall only become effective upon the occurrence of a Threshold Event in accordance with Section 9.19.
1. LOANS.
1.1 Loans. Silicon will make loans to Borrowers (the “Loans”) 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 Reserves for accrued interest and such other Reserves as Silicon deems proper from time to time in its good faith business judgment.

1.2 Interest. All Loans shall bear interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement.

Silicon may, in its discretion, charge interest to Borrowers’ 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 monetary Obligations exceeds the Credit Limit (an “Overadvance”), Borrowers shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to Silicon, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrowers’ obligations to repay to Silicon the amount of any Overadvance, Borrowers agree to pay Silicon interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.
1.4 Fees. Borrowers 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 Loan Requests. To obtain a Loan, Borrowers shall make a request to Silicon by facsimile or telephone.

3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority. Each Borrower is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would result in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against such 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 either Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation, or such Borrower’s bylaws, or any law or any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon that Borrower or its property, and (iv) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon either Borrower or its property.
- 5 -
3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of each Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement, or such other name of which such Borrower has notified Silicon in accordance with this Section 3.2, is its correct name. Listed in the Representations are all prior names of each Borrower and all of such Borrower’s present and prior trade names. Each Borrower shall give Silicon 30 days’ prior written notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name other than Xenogen. Each Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
3.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. The address set forth in the heading to this Agreement (or such other address of which each Borrower has given notice pursuant to this Section 3.3) is the applicable Borrower’s chief executive office. In addition, each Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in the Representations (or such other address of which either Borrower has given notice pursuant to this Section 3.3). Borrowers will give Silicon at least 30 days prior written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing either Borrower’s chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than a Borrower’s Address or one of the locations set forth in the Representations (or such other address of which Borrowers have given notice pursuant to this Section 3.3), except that Borrowers may maintain sales offices in the ordinary course of business at which not more than a total of $100,000 fair market value of Equipment is located.
3.4 Title to Collateral; Perfection; Permitted Liens.
(a) Borrowers are 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 to Borrowers. 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 Borrowers will at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims of others.
(b) Borrowers have set forth in the Representations all of Borrowers’ Deposit Accounts, and each Borrower will give Silicon five Business Days advance written notice before establishing any new Deposit Accounts with a bank other than Silicon and will cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to Silicon a control agreement in form sufficient to perfect Silicon’s security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to Silicon in its good faith business judgment. Nothing herein limits any requirements which may be set forth in the Schedule as to where Deposit Accounts will be maintained.
(c) In the event that either Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting and in which the potential
- 6 -
recovery exceeds $100,000, such Borrower shall promptly notify Silicon thereof in writing and provide Silicon with such information regarding the same as Silicon shall request (unless providing such information would waive the Borrower’s attorney-client privilege). Such notification to Silicon shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to Silicon, and Borrowers shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as Silicon shall request in connection therewith.
(d) 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. Neither Borrower is, nor will it 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 either 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, Borrowers shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use their commercially reasonable 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 in its good faith business judgment. Each Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all material 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. Borrowers will maintain the Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Borrowers will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Borrowers will promptly advise Silicon in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral.
3.6 Books and Records. Each Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Parent’s Address complete and accurate books and records sufficient to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. Subject to the absence of footnotes and year-end adjustments in the case of interim financial statements, all financial statements now or in the future delivered to Silicon have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP and now and in the future will fairly present in all material respects the results of operations and financial condition of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries (including XBC), in accordance with GAAP, 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.
3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Parent has timely filed, and will timely file, all required tax returns except where failure to file would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change and reports, and Parent 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 Parent on a consolidated basis, except where such unpaid taxes, assessment, deposits and contributions do not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate and either: (y) cannot result in the imposition of a lien over such Borrower’s assets or (z) cannot result in a Material Adverse Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Borrower may, however, defer payment of any
- 7 -
contested taxes, provided that such Borrower (i) in good faith contests such 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. Neither Borrower is aware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of such Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by such Borrower in an amount that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Each 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 each 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 reasonably be expected to result in any liability of such Borrower in an amount that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
3.9 Compliance with Law. Each Borrower has, to the best of its knowledge, complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to such Borrower, including, but not limited to, those relating to such Borrower’s ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of Borrower’s business, and all environmental matters, except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
3.10 Litigation. There is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to Borrower’s knowledge) threatened against either Borrower in any court or before any governmental agency which could reasonably be expected to result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Change. Borrowers will promptly inform Silicon in writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Borrowers involving any single claim of $250,000 or more, or involving $750,000 or more in the aggregate.
3.11 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for lawful business purposes. Borrowers are 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.”

To the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are and shall be genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law.
4.3 Schedules and Documents relating to Accounts. Borrowers shall deliver to Silicon transaction reports and schedules of collections, as provided in the Schedule, 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 Borrowers’ Accounts, nor shall Silicon’s failure to advance or lend against a specific Account affect or limit Silicon’s security interest and other rights therein. If requested by Silicon, Borrowers shall furnish Silicon with copies (or, at Silicon’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all 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 Accounts, and each Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing.

All proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral shall be delivered, in kind, by Borrowers to Silicon in the original form in which received by either Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by such 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 and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to remit to Silicon the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrowers 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). Each Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of such 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. Borrowers shall notify Silicon promptly of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts. Neither Borrower shall forgive (completely or partially), compromise or settle any Account for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that Borrowers may do so, provided that: (i) Borrowers do 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 shall not 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 an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Silicon be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrowers’ obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

All such casualty 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 good faith business judgment, except that, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Silicon shall release to the applicable Borrower insurance proceeds which shall be utilized by such Borrower for the replacement or repair of the damaged or destroyed property with respect to which the insurance proceeds were paid. Silicon may require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so used.

The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrowers’ expense and the charge therefor shall be $750 per person per day, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event a Borrower and Silicon schedule an audit more than 10 days in advance, and either Borrower seeks to reschedules the audit with less than 10 days written notice to Silicon, then (without limiting any of Silicon’s rights or remedies), such Borrower shall pay Silicon a cancellation fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Silicon, to compensate Silicon for the anticipated costs and

5.6 Litigation Cooperation. Should any third-party suit or proceeding be instituted by or against Silicon with respect to any Collateral or relating to either Borrower, Borrowers shall, without expense to Silicon, use reasonable efforts to make available Borrowers and their officers, employees and agents and each 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. Borrowers agree, at their expense, on request by Silicon, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Silicon, may, in its good faith business judgment, deem necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain Silicon’s perfected first-priority security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), and in order to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.3 Payment of Obligations. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier effective date of termination, Borrowers 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. 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 Borrowers of any Obligation to Silicon, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

7.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, Silicon, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers), may do any one or more of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (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 Borrowers hereby authorize Silicon without judicial process to enter onto any of Borrowers’ 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 necessary, in its good faith business judgment, 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, each 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 thereof; and (iii) any requirement that Silicon retain possession of, and not dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (d) Require Borrowers to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Silicon at places designated by Silicon which are reasonably convenient to Silicon and Borrowers, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Silicon may deem advisable; (e) Complete the processing, manufacturing or repair of any Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the purpose of removal, Silicon shall have the right to use Borrowers’ premises, vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, and other Equipment and all other property without charge; (f) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in its 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 Borrowers’ 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 any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not relieve Borrowers of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale; (g) Demand payment of, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, each Borrower irrevocably authorizes Silicon to endorse or sign such Borrower’s name on all collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail addressed to Borrowers and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Silicon’s good faith business judgment, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and the like for less than face value; (h) Offset against any sums in any of Borrowers’ general, special or other Deposit Accounts with Silicon against any or all of the Obligations; and (i) Demand and receive possession of any of Borrowers’ federal and state income tax returns and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or referring thereto.

- 16 -
7.4 Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without limiting Silicon’s other rights and remedies, each 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 Borrowers, and at Borrowers’ expense, to do any or all of the following, in either Borrower’s name or otherwise, but Silicon agrees that if it exercises any right hereunder, it will do so in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of such Borrower any documents that Silicon may, in its good faith business judgment, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Silicon’s security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of either Borrower or Silicon, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other Loan Documents; (b) Execute on behalf of either Borrower, any invoices relating to any Account, 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; (c) Take control in any manner of any cash or noncash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of either Borrower upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Silicon’s possession; (d) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by Silicon; (e) 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; (f) Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith; (g) Pay any sums required on account of either Borrower’s taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (h) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (i) Instruct any third party having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to, Borrowers to give Silicon the same rights of access and other rights with respect thereto as Silicon has under this Agreement; and (j) Take any action or pay any sum required of Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents. 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 Borrowers.
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
- 17 -
discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrowers or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrowers shall remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency. If, Silicon, in its good faith business judgment, 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 good faith business judgment, 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 either 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.

Unused Line Fee: | On the first day of each month and on the Maturity Date, Borrowers agree to pay to Silicon, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to the one percent (1%) per annum times the amount by which (a) $13,000,000 exceeds (b) the greater of: (i) the average daily outstanding amount of Loans and (ii) $5,000,000, during the immediately preceding month or shorter period if calculated on the date this Agreement becomes effective or on the Maturity Date. |

INVESTMENT POLICY
Xenogen Corporation
Amended Investment Guidelines1
I. | Purpose |
These investment guidelines have been adopted by the Board of Directors of Xenogen Corporation in order to establish policy and guidelines for investing surplus corporate cash, with the goal of capital preservation and liquidity. All investments must be made in compliance with these guidelines, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and the non-exclusive safe harbor for research and development companies set forth in rule 3a-8 of the 1940 Act.
“Surplus cash” is cash not required for short-term debt repayment, working capital, capital investment, or other outstanding near-term financial obligations.
Objectives
The key objectives of the company investment policy are the preservation of capital and maintenance of appropriate short-term liquidity.
More specifically:
A. | Preserve capital; |
B. | Maintain sufficient liquidity to meet forecasted cash needs; |
C. | Maintain diversified portfolio of investments in order to minimize the concentration risks; |
D. | Maximize yield on investments within the parameters set forth below; |
E. | Establish fiduciary control of cash and investments. |
II. | Liquidity Guidelines |
Excess cash is invested with liquidity in mind, and without any loss of principal.
Daily liquidity is essential; restrictions on liquidity are:
1. | Twice the amount of the monthly burn must be available each business day with no loss of principal. |
1 | Guidelines originally adopted by the Board on July 22, 2003; Amended and Restated Guidelines adopted by the Audit Committee on October 21, 2004 |
2. | The remainders of the funds are to be invested, consistent with anticipated cash needs, in securities with maturities no longer than 24 months. The weighted-average-maturity cannot exceed 12-months. Repositioning of these securities before their maturity, generating small gains or losses, is permitted for managing liquidity requirements only. Any loss from such repositioning can only be incurred if the gain in the previous three months fully offsets this loss. |
III. | Investment Restrictions |
Investments shall be made in the context of the following investment guidelines.
A. | Investment Portfolio |
1. | No more than 10 percent of the company’s total assets may consist of investments other than Capital Preservation Investments (defined below). |
B. | Capital Preservation Investments |
1. | Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes, and bonds. |
2. | Obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government. |
3. | Municipal securities (taxable and tax-exempt, when appropriate), including variable rate demand notes and auction rate municipals. |
4. | Bank obligations, including certificates of deposit, bank notes, and bankers acceptances. |
5. | Corporate obligations, including commercial paper, corporate notes, medium-term notes and corporate bonds. |
6. | Repurchase agreements collateralized at a minimum of 102% with U.S. Treasury securities or other securities rated “AAA” or equivalent that would be permitted by this policy. |
7. | Money market funds over $1 billion in assets (must be AAA-rated), with an historically constant dollar net asset value, consisting of acceptable securities as stated above are appropriate for investing, as long as the fund’s manager has been in business over five years, has name recognition, and has performance that is easily tracked. |
8. | U.S. dollar-denominated international corporate debt of all types is acceptable as long as the issuer meets credit rating and marketability guidelines. |
9. | Derivative instruments are ineligible as investments. This would cover all investments where the value is based on an underlying variable causing the coupon and/or the maturity value to be unknown for the life of the security. |
C. | Credit Quality |
1. | In all categories described above, the emphasis will be on securities of high credit quality. |
2. | Investments which bear a short-term credit rating must be explicitly rated by two of the three following rating services: A1 by Standard & Poor’s, P1 by Xxxxx’x and/or F-1 by Fitch (no split-rated paper permitted). |
3. | Investments which bear a long-term credit rating must be explicitly rated by two of the following rating services: A by Standard & Poor’s, A2 by Xxxxx’x and/or A by Fitch. |
4. | Investments which bear an AAA-rating may only be rated by one of the three rating agencies. |
IV. | Maturities |
The maximum maturity of individual securities in the portfolio may not exceed Twenty-four (24) months.
The dollar-weighted-average maturity of the portfolio may not exceed twelve (12) months.
For securities which have put dates, reset dates or auction dates, the put date, reset date or auction date will be used, instead of the final maturity date, for maturity guideline purposes.
V. | Concentration Limits/Restrictions |
There is no limit to the percentage of the portfolio which may be maintained in securities issued by the U.S. Treasury or by its agencies and instrumentalities.
No one issuer or group of issuers from the same holding company is to exceed 10% of the portfolio or $1.0 million, whichever is greater of the portfolio at time of purchase, with the exception of Government securities.
AND, no more than 10% of the total issue size outstanding at time of purchase.
Any investment in common stocks, preferred stocks, options (put or calls), commodities, foreign securities, futures or mutual funds whose underlying securities are not considered Capital Preservation Investments must comply with Part III.A of this policy.
VI. | Investment Performance |
The company shall review the performance of the selected investment-banking group on quarterly basis. The investment banks will issue separate quarterly investment performance analysis using time-weighted measures.
The net income derived from investments for the last four fiscal quarters combined may not exceed twice the amount of the company’s research and development expenses for the same period.
Expenses for investment advisory and management activities, investment research and custody for the last four fiscal quarters combined may not exceed five percent of the company’s total expenses for the same period.
VII. | Marketability |
All securities are to be purchased through investment banking and brokerage firms of high quality and reputation, with a history of making markets for the securities in which we invest. In the unlikely event that securities must be sold before their maturity, the securities must be easily re-marketed. To accomplish this, the securities must be conventional “products” with strong name recognition.
VIII. | Trading Guidelines |
Normal investing practice is to reinvest the funds on the day a security matures, to minimize lost interest. A daily transaction log is to be maintained and available for review at any time. All trading firms must generate a hard copy document for each transaction which is mailed to us on a timely basis, and then matched to the transaction log. Quarterly summaries of our investment holdings and cash usage are to be made available for Board review.
IX. | Communication |
The investment manager will contact the Chief Financial Officer immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
A. | An issuer is placed on “CreditWatch” with Negative Implications” and/or on “Negative Outlook” whereby any whereby any potential action could result in a credit rating cut; |
B. | A decline in the issuer’s credit rating below the minimum credit quality standards stated in this Investment Policy. |
C. | Research and development expenses for the last four fiscal quarters combined are no longer a substantial percentage of the company’s total expenses for the same period. |
D. | The company is not in compliance with any of these guidelines. |
X. | Safekeeping |
Assets/investment securities are to be held in segregated bank account; they cannot be co-mingled. Assets/investment securities can be held by the investment manager as long as the manager’s minimum long-term rating is A2 by Xxxxx’x and A by S&P.
XI. | Fiduciary Discretion |
The Chief Financial Officer or other individual appointed by the Board and his/her authorized employees are responsible for securing and managing investments and cash for operations. These individuals have full discretion to invest any excess capital subject to strict adherence to these guidelines. These guidelines and the performance of the investments are to be reviewed periodically with the Board of Directors and only then can guideline revisions be made.
