(Export-Import Line)
$4,500,000 Santa Clara, California
February 20, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, InVision Technologies, Inc. (the
"Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of Silicon Valley Bank ("Bank"), at
such place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful! money of the United
States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances
("Advances") made by Bank to Borrower under the terms of this Note, up to a
maximum principal amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($4,500,000). Borrower shall also pay interest on the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of such Advances at the rates and in accordance with the
terms of the Export-Import Bank Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower
and Bank of even date herewith, as amended from time to time (the "Loan
Agreement") on the nineteenth day of each month after an Advance has been
made. The entire principal amount and all accrued interest shall be due and
payable on February 19, 1998, or on such earlier date, as provided for in the
Loan Agreement.
Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and
all payments at any time hereafter received by Bank from or on behalf of
Borrower, and Borrower irrevocably agrees that Bank shall have the continuing
exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the then due and
owing obligations of Borrower as Bank may deem advisable. In the absence of
a specific determination by Bank with respect thereto, all payments shall be
applied in the following order: (a) then due and payable fees and expenses;
(b) then due and payable interest payments and mandatory prepayments; and (c)
then due and payable principal payments and optional prepayments.
Bank is hereby authorized by Borrower to endorse on Bank's books and
records each Advance made by Bank under this Note and the amount of each
payment or prepayment of principal of each such Advance received by Bank; it
being understood, however, that failure to make any such endorsement (or any
errors in notation) shall not affect the obligations of Borrower with respect
to Advances made hereunder, and payments of principal by Borrower shall be
credited to Borrower notwithstanding the failure to make a notation (or any
errors in notation) thereof on such books and records.
Borrower promises to pay Bank all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses
of collection of this Note and to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred
in such collection or in any suit or action to collect this Note or in any
appeal thereof. Borrower waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, and any and all other
notices and demands in connection with the, delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of this Note, as well as any applicable
statute of limitations. No delay by Bank in exercising any power or right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right. Time is of the
essence as to all obligations hereunder.
This Note is issued pursuant to the .Loan Agreement, which shall govern the
rights and obligations of Borrower with respect to all obligations hereunder.
This Note shall be deemed to be made under, and shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by, the laws of the State of California,
excluding conflicts of laws principles.
