Trust and Savings Association (the "Bank") and CHROMAVISION MEDICAL SYSTEMS,
INC. (the "Borrower").
1. LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS.
1.1 LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT.
(a) During the availability period described below, the Bank will provide a
line of credit to the Borrower. The amount of the line of credit (the
"Commitment") is Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).
(b) This is a revolving line of credit. During the availability period, the
Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them.
(c) The Borrower agrees not to permit the outstanding principal balance of
the line of credit to exceed the Commitment.
1.2 AVAILABILITY PERIOD. The line of credit is available between the date of
this Agreement and May 30, 2000 (the "Expiration Date") unless the Borrower is
in default.
1.3 INTEREST RATE.
(a) Unless the Borrower elects an optional interest rate as described
below, the interest rate is the Bank's Reference Rate minus one quarter
of one (.25) percentage point.
(b) The Reference Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time
to time by the Bank in San Francisco, California, as its Reference
Rate. The Reference Rate is set by the Bank based on various factors,
including the Bank's costs and desired return, general economic
conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for
pricing some loans. The Bank may price loans to its customers at,
above, or below the Reference Rate. Any change in the Reference Rate
will take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the
public announcement of a change in the Bank's Reference Rate.
1.4 REPAYMENT TERMS.
(a) The Borrower will pay interest on April 1, 1998, and then monthly
thereafter until payment in full of any principal outstanding under
this line of credit.
(b) The Borrower will repay in full all principal and any unpaid interest
or other charges outstanding under this line of credit no later than
the Expiration Date.
(c) Any interest period for an optional interest rate (as described below)
shall expire no later than the Expiration Date.
1.5 OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES. Instead of the interest rate based on the Bank's
Reference Rate, the Borrower may elect the optional interest rates listed below
during interest periods agreed to by the Bank and the Borrower. The optional
interest rates shall be subject to the terms and conditions described later in
this Agreement. Any principal amount bearing interest at an optional rate under
this Agreement is referred to as a "Portion." The following optional interest
rates are available:
(a) the Short Term Base Rate plus 1.50 percentage points.
(b) the LIBOR Rate plus 1.50 percentage points.
2. OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES.
2.1 OPTIONAL RATES. Each optional interest rate is a rate per year. Interest
will be paid on the last day of each interest period, and on the first day of
each month during the interest period. At the end of any interest period, the
interest rate will revert to the rate based on the Reference Rate, unless the
Borrower has designated another optional interest rate for the Portion. No
Portion will be converted to a different interest rate during the applicable
interest period. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this
Agreement, the Bank may terminate the availability of optional interest rates
for interest periods commencing after the default occurs.

2.2 SHORT TERM BASE RATE. The election of Short Term Fixed Rates shall be
subject to the following terms and requirements:
(a) The "Short Term Fixed Rate" means the fixed interest rate the Bank and
the Borrower agree will apply during the applicable interest period.
(b) The "Short Term Base Rate" means the fixed interest rate per annum,
determined solely by the Bank on the first day of the applicable
interest period for the Portion, as the rate at which the Bank would be
able to borrow funds in the Money Market in the amount of the Short
Term Fixed Rate Portion and with an interest and principal payment
schedule equal to the Short Term Fixed Rate Portion and for a term
equal to the applicable interest period. The Short Term Base Rate shall
include adjustments for reserve requirements, federal deposit
insurance, and any other similar adjustment which the Bank deems
appropriate. The Short Term Base Rate is the Bank's estimate only and
the Bank is under no obligation to actually purchase or match funds for
any transaction.

the Bank, including domestic negotiable certificates of deposit,
eurodollar deposits, bank deposit notes or other appropriate money
market instruments selected by the Bank.

(e) Each Short Term Fixed Rate Portion may be for any dollar amount.
(f) Each prepayment of a Short Term Fixed Rate Portion, whether voluntary,
by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the
amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid, and a prepayment fee
as described below. A "prepayment" is a payment of an amount on a date
earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by
this Agreement. The prepayment fee shall be equal to the amount (if
any) by which:

the interest period on the amount prepaid had it not been
prepaid, exceeds
(ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank by
placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the Money Market for
a period starting on the date on which it was prepaid and
ending on the last day of the interest period for such Portion
(or the scheduled payment date for the amount prepaid, if
earlier).
2.3 LIBOR RATE. The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following
terms and requirements:
(a) The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will

or twelve months. The first day of the interest period must be a day
other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for
business in California, New York and London and dealing in offshore
dollar (a "LIBOR Banking Day"). The last day of the interest period and
the actual number of days during the interest period will be determined
by the Bank using the practices of the London inter-bank market.
(b) Each LIBOR Rate Portion may be for any dollar amount.
(c) The "LIBOR Rate" means the interest rate determined by the following
formula rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. (All
amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the
first day of the interest period.)
LIBOR Rate = London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
------------------------------
(1 .00 - Reserve Percentage)
Where,

Days before the commencement of the interest period. A "London

percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by
member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency

expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited
to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other
reserve percentages.
(d) The Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later
than 12:00 noon San Francisco time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding
the day on which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set, as

weekend days in any of the relevant locations, the request must be made
at least three days before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.
(e) The Borrower may not elect a LIBOR Rate with respect to any principal
amount which is scheduled to be repaid before the last day of the
applicable interest period.
(f) Each prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason
of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of
accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as
described below. A "prepayment" is a payment of an amount on a date
earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by
this Agreement. The prepayment fee shall be equal to the amount (if
any) by which:
(i) the additional interest which would have been payable during
the interest period on the amount prepaid had it not been
prepaid, exceeds
(ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank by
placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the domestic
certificate of deposit market, the eurodollar deposit market,
or other appropriate money market selected by the Bank, for a
period starting on the date on which it was prepaid and ending
on the last day of the interest period for such Portion (or
the scheduled payment date for the amount prepaid, if
earlier).
(g) The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR Rate
Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is
continuing:
(i) Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal
to the interest period, of a LIBOR Rate PorlJon are not
available in the London inter-bank market; or
(ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR
Rate Portion.

required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank's

(b) The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for the cost of periodic
audits of the collateral securing this Agreement, at such intervals as

employees of the Bank or by independent auditors.
4. PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. The Borrower's obligations to the Bank under
this Agreement will be secured by personal property the Borrower now owns or
will own in the future as listed below. The collateral is further defined in
security agreement(s) executed by the Borrower.
(a) Securities account number 01-40-403-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Account") owned by
the Borrower and maintained by the Bank. The contents of the Account
are subject to restrictions imposed by this and other agreements
between the Bank and the Borrower. Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System places certain restrictions on
loans secured by margin stock (as defined in the Regulation). The Bank

employees, and agents) from all liability, loss, and costs in

and excuse will survive this Agreement's termination.
5.2 DIRECT DEBIT. The Borrower agrees that interest and principal payments and
any fees will be deducted automatically on the due date from the Borrower's
account number 14178-03031, or such other of the Borrower's accounts with the

the panel) will be entered as a judgment in the court that
appointed the referee, in accordance with the provisions of
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.
(h) This provision does not limit the right of the Borrower or the Bank to:
(i) exercise self-help remedies such as setoff;
(ii) foreclose against or sell any real or personal property
collateral; or
(iii) act in a court of law, before, during or after the arbitration
proceeding to obtain:
(A) an interim remedy; and/or
(B) additional or supplementary remedies.
(i) The pursuit of or a successful action for interim, additional or
supplementary remedies, or the filing of a court action, does not
constitute a waiver of the right of the Borrower or the Bank, including
the suing party, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if
the other party contests the lawsuit. However, if the controversy or
claim arises from or relates to an obligation to the Bank which is
secured by real property located in California at the time of the
proposed submission to arbitration, this right is limited according to
the provision above requiring the consent of both the Borrower and the
Bank to seek resolution through arbitration.
(j) If the Bank forecloses against any real property securing this
Agreement, the Bank has the option to exercise the power of sale under
the deed of trust or mortgage, or to proceed by judicial foreclosure.
10.5 SEVERABILITY; WAIVERS. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable,
the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. The Bank retains all rights, even if
it makes a loan after default. If the Bank waives a default, it may enforce a
later default. Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be in writing.
10.6 ATTORNEYS' FEES. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any reasonable
costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the Bank in connection with the
enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement and
any other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, and in
connection with any amendment, waiver, "workout" or restructuring under this
Agreement. In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing
party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with the lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined by the
court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is commenced by or against the
Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar
or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by the Bank related to the preservation, protection, or
enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case. As used in this paragraph,
"attorneys' fees" includes the allocated costs of the Bank's in-house counsel.
10,7 ONE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and any related security or other agreements
required by this Agreement, collectively:
(a) represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank
and the Borrower concerning this credit;
(b) replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the
Borrower concerning this credit; and
(c) are intended by the Bank and the Borrower as the final, complete and
exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements
required by this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail.

from any loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs of any kind relating to
or arising directly or indirectly out of
(a) this Agreement or any document required hereunder,
(b) any credit extended or committed by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder,
and
(c) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out of this
Agreement, any such document, or any such credit. This indemnity

cost of in-house counsel).
This indemnity extends to the Bank, its parent, subsidiaries and all of their
directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This
indemnity will survive repayment of the Borrower's obligations to the Bank. All
sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be obligations of the Borrower, due and
payable immediately without demand.

unconditionally grants a security interest in and assigns and transfers to Bank
of America National Trust and Savings Association ("Bank") all property referred

2. Indebtedness. "Indebtedness" means all debts, obligations or liabilities now

them to Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, whether due or not due, or
whether incurred directly or indirectly or acquired by Bank by assignment or
otherwise. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, "indebtedness" shall not include
such debts, obligations or liabilities which are or may hereafter be "consumer
credit" subject to the disclosure requirements of the Federal Truth-in-Lending
law or any regulation promulgated thereunder.
3. Pledgor's Covenants. Pledgor covenants and warrants that unless compliance is
waived by Bank in writing:
(a) Pledgor owns the Collateral free and clear of any and all liens,

security interest of Bank.
(b) Pledgor will at all times maintain Collateral of a character and value
satisfactory to Bank.

first priority and perfection of said security interest and shall not take
any actions that would alter, impair or eliminate said priority or
perfection.
(d) Pledgor agrees to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges, liens and
assessments against the Collateral, and upon the failure of Pledgor to do
so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of
the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the
same.
(e) Pledgor will notify Bank in writing prior to any change in Pledgor's name,
identity or business structure.
(f) Pledgor resides (if Pledgor is an individual), or Pledgor's chief executive

account of or in exchange for the Collateral shall be applied to the
Indebtedness or held by Bank thereafter as Collateral pursuant to the
provisions hereof.

or the name of a depository or its nominee.

any Event of Default under this Security Agreement, Bank shall not vote any
securities constituting Collateral except as instructed by Pledgor.
Pledgor hereby appoints Bank its attorney-in-fact to carry out any of the powers
granted by this paragraph.
5. Events of Default. Any one or more of the following shall constitute an event
of default hereunder ("Event of Default") if it has not been cured to the Bank's
satisfaction on or before fifteen calendar days after the date Debtor receives
written notice thereof, in the case of the occurrence of items (a), (b) and/or
(d), below, or, in the case of the occurrence of any event described in items

Security Agreement.

commences any case, proceeding or other action under any bankruptcy or other
law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors.

following:

-2-
13
7. Waivers. Bank shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever (a) to make or
give any presentment, demands for performances, notices of nonperformance,
protests, notices of protest or notices of dishonor in connection with any
obligations or evidences of indebtedness held by Bank as Collateral, or in
connection with any obligation or evidences of indebtedness which constitute in
whole or in part the Indebtedness, or (b) to give Pledgor notice of, or to
exercise, any subscription rights or privileges, any rights or privileges to
exchange, convert or redeem or any other rights or privileges relating to or
affecting any Collateral.
8. Additional Waivers. Pledgor waives any right to require Bank to (a) proceed
against any person, (b) proceed against or exhaust any collateral, or (c) pursue
any other remedy in Bank's power; and waives any defense arising by reason of
any disability or other defense of Debtor or any other person, or by reason of
the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Debtor or any other
person. Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Pledgor waives any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution (contractual,
statutory or otherwise), including without limitation any claim or right of
subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the U.S. Code) or any
successor statute, arising from the existence or performance of this Security
Agreement, and Pledgor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Bank now has
or may hereafter have against Debtor or against any other person and waives any
benefit of and any right to participate in any Collateral or security whatsoever
now or hereafter held by Bank. If any Pledgor is not also a Debtor with respect
to a specified indebtedness, such Pledgor authorizes Bank without notice or
demand and without affecting Pledgor's liability hereunder, from time to time
to: (a) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of or
otherwise change the terms of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, including
increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold
security, other than the Collateral, for the payment of the Indebtedness or any
part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Collateral or any
part thereof or any such other security; and (c) release or substitute Debtor or
any one or more of them, or any of the endorsers or guarantors of the
Indebtedness or any part thereof, or any other parties thereto.
9. Return of Collateral. Bank may at any time deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof to Pledgor and the receipt of Pledgor shall be a complete and full
acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Bank shall thereafter be
discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.
10. Transfer of Collateral. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Collateral and shall be
fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect
to such Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all
the rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to such Collateral so
transferred; but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred Bank shall
retain all rights and powers hereby given.
11. Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing Security Agreement and all the
rights, powers and remedies hereunder shall apply to all past, present and
future Indebtedness of Debtor or any one or more of them to Bank, including that
arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the
Indebtedness, increase or decrease it, or from time to time create new
Indebtedness after all or any prior Indebtedness has been satisfied, and
notwithstanding the death, incapacity, cessation of business, dissolution or
bankruptcy of Debtor or any one or more of them, or any other event or
proceeding affecting Debtor or any one or more of them.
12. Continuing Powers. Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, the
power of sale and all other rights, powers and remedies granted to Bank
hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Bank at the time
specified hereunder irrespective of the fact that the Indebtedness or any part
thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the
personal liability of Debtor or any one or more of them may have ceased. Pledgor
waives the benefit of any statute of limitations as applied to this Security
Agreement.
13. Custody of Collateral. Bank may, in its discretion, hold some or all of the
Collateral in an account with a custody unit of Bank. Debtor shall reimburse
Bank for the usual custody charges and expenses of Bank's custody unit. Bank
may, in its sole discretion, retain the Collateral in physical form or with a
depository. Bank shall not be required to segregate the Collateral from other
securities owned by third parties. Debtor and Pledgor agree to be bound by the
rules, procedures, practices, liens and assessments of each depository used by
Bank. Bank shall not be liable for any loss to the Collateral resulting from
acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, earthquake, or other disaster beyond
the reasonable control of Bank, or for any other loss or damage to the
Collateral unless shown to have arisen from Bank's intentional misconduct or
lack of reasonable care.
14. Conflict of Interest. In some cases, some or all of the Collateral may be
held by Bank pursuant to another agreement, other than this Security Agreement,
between Bank and Pledgor (the "Account Agreement"). Pledgor acknowledges that a
conflict may arise between Bank's obligations under the Account Agreement,
including any obligations to direct the Pledgor's investments or to provide
investment advice, and Bank's rights as a lender under this
-3-
14
Security Agreement. In such event, Pledgor expressly agrees that Bank's rights
as lender shall take precedence over Bank's obligations under the Account
Agreement. Pledgor agrees that all provisions of the Account Agreement that
directly or indirectly prohibit any extension of credit or the grant of a
security interest in the Collateral, or which are contrary to the provisions of
this Security Agreement, are hereby amended to the extent necessary to permit
this Security Agreement to be fully effective according to its terms.
15. Custody of Collateral at Bailee. If permitted by Bank, some or all of the
Collateral may be held at a broker or other bailee (the "Bailee"). Pledgor shall
pay to Bailee any charges or costs imposed by the Bailee. Pledgor at no time
shall request that Bailee release any Collateral to Pledgor, except as expressly
permitted by Bank. Bank may, at any time, require Bailee to do any or all of the
following: (a) disburse any or all of the Collateral to Bank; (b) allow Bank
(and not Pledgor) to exercise any rights relating to the Collateral; (c) sell
some or all of the Collateral and remit the sales proceeds (less Bailee's normal
sales charge) to Bank; and (d) buy and sell Collateral only upon the
instructions of Bank (and not Pledgor).
16. Indemnity ReRardinR Bailee. If Bank permits any of the Collateral to be
maintained at a Bailee, Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Bank, its successors and assigns and its directors, officers, employees
and agents, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages,
obligations, deficiencies, payments, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, costs and expenses of any and all actions, suits, proceedings,
arbitrations, demands, assessments, judgments, settlements, compromises relating
thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements in connection
therewith, and including allocated costs of in-house counsel) sustained or
incurred by Bank or any other indemnitee in any way arising from or related to
Bank's actions with respect to Bailee as contemplated herein or contemplated by
any agreement with or notice to Bailee, except such as are due to Bank's willful
misconduct or gross negligence.
17. Trading or Substitution of Collateral. Unless otherwise agreed by Bank, Bank
shall be under no obligation to permit any trading or substitution of the
Collateral or to permit the release of any Collateral or the proceeds thereof
until the Indebtedness has been paid in full.
18. Costs. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Bank in exercising any right, power or
remedy conferred by this Security Agreement or in the enforcement thereof, and
including the charges and expenses of Bank's custody unit or of any Bailee,
shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured hereunder and shall be paid to
Bank by Debtor and Pledgor immediately and without demand, with interest thereon
at an annual rate equal to the highest rate of interest of any Indebtedness
secured by this Security Agreement (or, if there is no such interest rate, at
the maximum interest rate permitted by law for interest on judgments). Such
costs and attorneys' fees shall include, without limitation, the allocated cost
of in-house counsel.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) Any waiver, express or implied, of any provision hereunder and any delay or
failure by Bank to enforce any provision shall not preclude Bank from
enforcing any such provision thereafter.
(b) Pledgor and Debtor shall, at the request of Bank, execute such other
agreements, documents, instruments, or financing statements in connection
with this Security Agreement as Bank may reasonably deem necessary. Pledgor
hereby appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact with ▇▇▇▇ power and authority
to (i) sign any financing statements which must be executed or filed to
perfect or continue perfected our security interest in the Collateral, and
(ii) file any such financing statements by electronic means with or without
a signature as authorized er required by applicable law or filing
procedures.
(c) This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the
laws of the State of California, to the jurisdiction of which the parties
hereto submit.

Code.
(e) This Security Agreement shall benefit Bank's successors and assigns and
shall bind Pledgor's successors and assigns.

Collateral now or hereafter in Pledgor's possession.

words used herein in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the
plural where the context and construction so require, and the obligations
and undertakings hereunder are joint and several.
