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.

LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1

Credit Extensions.

Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions as hereinafter provided.

2.1.1

Term Loan.

(a) Bank will make a Term Loan available to Borrower.

(b) Through March 31, 2003 (the “Term Loan Availability End Date”), Bank will make term loan advances (“Term Loan Advance” and, collectively, “Term Loan Advances”) not exceeding $20,000,000 in the aggregate. The Term Loan Advances may only be used to refinance the existing equipment financing facility between Borrower and Bank (such refinancing to be without penalty or premium under said facility) and for Borrower’s general working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

(c) Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of each Term Loan Advance from the date of each Term Loan Advance at the applicable rate set forth in Section 2.3(a) and shall be payable monthly in arrears until the Term Loan Availability End Date occurs. The principal balance of Term Loan Advances outstanding on the Term Loan Availability End Date shall be payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest, accruing at the applicable rate set forth in Section 2.3(a), beginning on the last day of each month following the Term Loan Availability End Date and ending on March 31, 2007 (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”). Term Loan Advances when repaid may not be reborrowed. Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time to prepay the outstanding principal balance of any Term Loan Advance, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. Borrower’s final Term Loan Advances Payment, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, includes all outstanding principal and accrued interest.

(d) To obtain a Term Loan Advance, Borrower shall notify Bank (the notice is irrevocable) by facsimile no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time one Business Day before the day on which the Term Loan Advance is to be made. The notice shall be in the form of Exhibit B (Payment/Advance Form) and must be signed by a Responsible Officer or designee.

2.2

Intentionally Omitted.

2.3

Interest Rate, Payments.

(a) Interest Rate. (i) Prior to the Term Loan Availability End Date, the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan Advances shall accrue interest at a per annum rate of one and three eighths percentage points (137.5 basis points) above the Prime Rate; (ii) On and after the Term Loan Availability End Date, the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan Advances shall accrue interest at a per annum rate, at Borrower’s election, equal to either (x) a floating rate of interest equal to one and three eighths percentage points (137.5 basis points) above the Prime Rate, or (y) a fixed rate of interest equal to the greater of (I) two and one fourth percentage points (225 basis points) above the 48-Month Treasury Note Rate in effect as of the Term Loan Availability End Date, or (II) six percent (6.0%). After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Obligations shall accrue interest at five percentage points (500 basis points) above the interest rate in effect immediately before the Event of Default. The floating rates of interest described above increase or decrease from time to time when the Prime Rate changes. If Borrower elects to have a fixed rate of interest apply under the foregoing clause (y), Borrower shall provide written notice to Bank of such election on or before March 1, 2003. If Borrower shall fail to make such an election, the applicable interest rate shall be that provided under clause (x) above. Interest shall be computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Payments. Prior to the Term Loan Availability End Date, interest due on the Term Loan Advances is payable on the last day of each month. After the Term Loan Availability End Date, monthly installments of principal and accrued interest due on the Term Loan Advances are payable on the last day of each month following the Term Loan Availability End Date and ending on the Term Loan Maturity Date. On the first day of the month immediately following a payment due date, Bank may debit Borrower’s deposit Account Number 3300160818 for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank under this Agreement or any Loan Document. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s 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 interest accrues.

2.4

Fees.

Borrower will pay:

(a) Loan Fee: A fee equal to $50,000 payable upon commitment by Bank.

(b) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses incurred through and after the date of this Agreement, payable when due.

CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1

Grant of Security Interest.

(a) Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants as follows, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of each Credit Extension as provided in Section 3.2(b):

5.1

Due Organization and Authorization.

Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state 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 Borrower’s formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is 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.

Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. 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. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business as Borrower’s Board of Directors determines, in good faith, is appropriate for the development of Borrower’s business or the sale or distribution of its products. Except as disclosed to Bank in writing prior to the Closing Date, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers each issued Patent is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, no claim has been made that Borrower’s use of any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party, except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.3

Litigation.

Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which an 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 for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations as of the date of such statement. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.5

Solvency.

The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.6

Regulatory Compliance.

Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not 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). To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by Borrower 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.

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.

5.7

5.8

Full Disclosure.

No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower 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 Borrower 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.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Borrower will do all of the following:

6.1

Government Compliance.

Financial Covenants.

Borrower will maintain as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, or upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Liquidity Triggering Event, the last day of each month:

(i) Maximum Losses. Losses not to exceed by more than 20% the losses set forth in the Annual Projections; provided that in the event compliance is determined monthly after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Liquidity Triggering Event, compliance with this Maximum Losses covenant shall be calculated as of each month end based upon a trailing three month average.

(ii) Minimum Liquidity. Liquidity at least equal to the greater of (a) two multiplied by the then outstanding principal of Credit Extensions, and (b) six multiplied by Remaining Months Liquidity. “Liquidity” is unrestricted, unencumbered (other than encumbrances in favor of Bank pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section 6.7) cash and cash equivalents unrestricted, unencumbered (other than encumbrances in favor of Bank pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section 6.7) (in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP) deposited at or invested through Bank. “Remaining Months Liquidity” is calculated as (x) Liquidity minus the then outstanding principal of Credit Extensions, divided by (y) Net Cash Loss. “Net Cash Loss” is the net cash used in operating activities for the prior fiscal quarter divided by three (or, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Liquidity Triggering Event, for the prior month and not divided by three), all determined in accordance with GAAP.

Upon any breach of this Section 6.7, Borrower shall immediately pledge to Bank a time deposit account (the “TDA”) in an amount equal to 105% of the then outstanding principal of Credit Extensions. The TDA shall be pledged by Borrower to Bank so long as any such breach continues, and such pledge shall be deemed to have cured the Event of Default which would otherwise exist due to such breach. If and when Borrower’s financial condition and performance is such that the breach under this Section 6.7 no longer exists, Bank shall release the pledge of the TDA; provided that upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, Bank shall have all of its rights and remedies hereunder and shall have no obligation to release the pledge of the TDA.

6.8

Intellectual Property Rights.

Borrower will register with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office its Intellectual Property, to the extent that Borrower in its normal course of business would so file or register such Intellectual Property, within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, and additional Intellectual Property rights developed or acquired including revisions or additions with any product before the sale or licensing of the product to any third party. Borrower will not allow any material Intellectual Property to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Bank’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall deliver to Bank, within 30 days of the end of each fiscal quarter, a report setting forth the status of all of Borrower’s Intellectual Property (including all pending applications for registration) and setting forth a listing and description of all Intellectual Property relating to drug targets and drug target programs.

6.9

Control Agreements.

With respect to unencumbered deposit accounts or unencumbered investment accounts maintained at financial institutions other than Bank, prior to opening any such account Borrower will notify Bank of its intention to do so and, within seven days of the opening of any such account, Borrower will execute and deliver to Bank, control agreements in form reasonably satisfactory to Bank in order for Bank to perfect its security interest in any such deposit accounts or investment accounts.

6.10

Further Assurances.

Borrower 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.

Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under 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 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 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 Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower 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.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if 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 reasonably prudent. Any amounts so paid by Bank shall be Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable to Bank upon written demand therefore, bearing interest at the then applicable rate from the time of such demand until paid and shall be secured by the Collateral. No such 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.

9.6

Remedies Cumulative.

Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives 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 Borrower is liable.

10.
