used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)
1. LOANS.
1.1 LOANS. Silicon will make loans to Borrower (the "Loans"), in amounts
determined by Silicon in its*, up to the amounts (the "Credit Limit") shown on

such other Reserves as Silicon deems proper from time to time.
*GOOD-FAITH BUSINESS JUDGMENT,
1.2 INTEREST. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear
interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to
the contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, on the last
day of the month. Interest may, in Silicon's discretion, be charged to
Borrower's loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same
rate as the other Loans. Silicon may, in its discretion, charge interest to
Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.
1.3 OVERADVANCES. If at any time or for any reason the total of all
outstanding Loans and all other Obligations exceeds the Credit Limit (an
"Overadvance"), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to
Silicon, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower's obligation to
repay to Silicon on demand the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay
Silicon interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at a
rate equal to the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable to the
Overadvance, plus an additional 2% per annum.
1.4 FEES. Borrower shall pay Silicon the fee(s) shown on the Schedule, which
are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Silicon and are not
refundable.
1.5 LETTERS OF CREDIT. At the request of Borrower, Silicon may, in its*,

Borrower, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Silicon in its sole
discretion (collectively, "Letters of Credit"). The aggregate face amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit from time to time shall not exceed the amount
shown on the Schedule (the "Letter of Credit Sublimit"), and shall be reserved
against Loans which would otherwise be available hereunder. Borrower shall pay
all bank charges (including charges of Silicon) for the issuance of Letters of
Credit, together with such additional fee as Silicon's letter of credit
department shall charge in connection with the issuance of the Letters of
Credit. Any payment by Silicon under or in connection with a Letter of Credit
shall constitute a Loan hereunder on the date such payment is made. Each Letter
of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than thirty days prior to the
Maturity Date. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold Silicon
harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, including payments made by
Silicon, expenses,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon arising out of or in
connection with any Letters of Credit**. Borrower agrees to be bound by the
regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit
guarantied by Silicon and opened for Borrower's account or by Silicon's
interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Silicon for Borrower's
account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Silicon shall not be liable
for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in
following Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or
any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto**. Borrower understands
that Letters of Credit may require Silicon to indemnify the issuing bank for
certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such
issuing bank. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Silicon harmless with
respect to any loss, cost, expense, or liability incurred by Silicon under any
Letter of Credit as a result of Silicon's indemnification of any such issuing
bank. The provisions of this Loan Agreement, as it pertains to Letters of
Credit, and any other present or future documents or agreements between Borrower
and Silicon relating to Letters of Credit are cumulative.***

discretion, reserve against Loans which would otherwise be available hereunder

Services, and Silicon may charge to Borrower's Loan account, any amounts that
may become due or owing to Silicon in connection with the Cash Management
Services. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Silicon all standard form
applications and agreements of Silicon in connection with the Cash Management
Services, and, without limiting any of the terms of such applications and
agreements, Borrower will pay all standard fees and charges of Silicon in
connection with the Cash Management Services. The Cash Management Services shall
terminate on the Maturity Date.

*PRESENTLY
**WHILE THE STREAMLINE FACILITY AGREEMENT (THE "STREAMLINE AGREEMENT") OF
APPROXIMATE EVEN DATE HEREWITH BETWEEN BORROWER AND SILICON IS IN EFFECT,
BORROWER MAY TRANSFER, WITHOUT SILICON'S CONSENT, AFTER THE DATE OF THIS
AGREEMENT, UP TO AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF $1,000,000 OF ASSETS AND COLLATERAL, ON
A COMBINED BASIS, TO IDENTIX PUBLIC SECTOR, INC. (FKA ANADAC, INC.) AND/OR
SYLVAN/IDENTIX FINGERPRINTING CENTERS, L.L.C., AND WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN
CONSENT OF SILICON, AGGREGATE AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF $1,000,000. WHEN THE
STREAMLINE AGREEMENT IS NOT IN EFFECT, AND SO LONG AS THIS AGREEMENT IS IN
EFFECT, BORROWER SHALL NOT TRANSFER ANY ASSETS OR COLLATERAL, WITHOUT FIRST
OBTAINING THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF SILICON, TO ANY PARENT, SUBSIDIARY OR
AFFILIATE OF BORROWER NOR SHALL BORROWER TRANSFER ANY ASSETS OR COLLATERAL TO
ANY LOCATION LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT
SUCH LOCATION IS SET FORTH ON THE SCHEDULE. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE STREAMLINE

3.4 TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS. Borrower is now, and will at all
times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items
of Equipment which are leased by Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain
free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances
and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Silicon now has, and will
continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest
in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will
at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims of others.
None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a
manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not and will
not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor
may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits,
restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower's right to
remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is
located upon premises in which any third party has an interest (whether as
owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or otherwise),
Borrower shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use its best efforts to cause
such third party to execute and deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to
Silicon, such waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify, so as to
ensure that Silicon's rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be,
superior to the rights of any such third party. Borrower will keep in full force
and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease of real property*
where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.
*TO WHICH BORROWER IS A PARTY (AS LESSEE, GUARANTOR OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER)
3.5 MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good
working condition, and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful
purpose. Borrower will* advise Silicon in writing of any material loss or damage
to the Collateral.
*AS PROMPTLY AS PRACTICAL
3.6 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at
Borrower's Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an
accounting system in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
3.7 FINANCIAL CONDITION, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS. All financial statements now
or in the future delivered to Silicon have been, and will be, prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and now and in the
future will completely and accurately reflect the financial condition of
Borrower, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date
covered by any such statement provided to Silicon and the date hereof, there has
been no material adverse change in the financial condition or business of
Borrower. Borrower is now solvent*.

federal, state and local law, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay,
all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and
contributions now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however,
defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (i) in good faith
contests Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings
promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Silicon in
writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the
proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the
contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. Borrower is
unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's prior tax
years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by
Borrower. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to
fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation
plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and

agency. Borrower shall, at all times, utilize the services of an outside payroll
service providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll taxes payable by
Borrower.

material respects, with all provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those

the financial condition or business of Borrower, or in any material impairment
in the ability of Borrower to carry on its business in substantially the same
manner as it is now being conducted. Borrower will promptly inform Silicon in
writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future

to Silicon transaction reports and loan requests, schedules and assignments of
all Receivables, and schedules of collections, all on Silicon's standard forms;
provided, however, that Borrower's failure to execute and deliver the same shall

specific Receivable affect or limit Silicon's security interest and other rights
therein. Loan requests received after 12:00 Noon will not be considered by
Silicon until the next Business Day. Together with each such schedule and
assignment, or later if requested by Silicon, Borrower shall furnish Silicon
with copies (or, at Silicon's request, originals) of all contracts, orders,
invoices, and other similar documents, and all original shipping instructions,
delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any
goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Receivables, and

SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
payments and proceeds to Silicon in their original form, duly endorsed in blank,
to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine.
Silicon may, in its discretion, require that all proceeds of Collateral be
deposited by Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other "blocked account" as

less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it
will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower's other funds or
property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds
and property and in an express trust for Silicon. Nothing in this Section limits
the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement.
4.6 DISPUTES. Borrower shall notify Silicon promptly of all disputes or
claims relating to Receivables*. Borrower shall not forgive (completely or
partially), compromise or settle any Receivable for less than payment in full,

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 may, at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes or claims directly
with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Silicon considers
advisable in its reasonable credit judgment and, in all cases, Silicon shall
credit Borrower's Loan account with only the net amounts received by Silicon in
payment of any Receivables.
*IN EXCESS OF $100,000
4.7 RETURNS. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if
any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower in the ordinary course of
its business, Borrower shall promptly determine the reason for such return and
promptly issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate
amount (sending a copy to Silicon). In the event any attempted return occurs
after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall (i) hold the
returned Inventory in trust for Silicon, (ii) segregate all returned Inventory

respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to
the Receivables, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of
Borrower or Silicon or such other name as Silicon may choose.
4.9 NO LIABILITY. Silicon shall not under any circumstances be responsible or
liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of,

failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Receivable, or for
settling any Receivable in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor
shall Silicon be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower's obligations
under any contract or agreement giving rise to a Receivable. Nothing herein
shall, however, relieve Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.
5.2 INSURANCE. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the tangible

Silicon, so that Silicon is satisfied that such insurance is, at all times, in
full force and effect. *such insurance policies shall name Silicon as an
additional loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in
form reasonably acceptable to Silicon. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such
insurance, Silicon shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as
Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion, except that, provided no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Silicon shall release to
Borrower insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment totaling less than
$100,000, which shall be utilized by Borrower for the replacement of the

have the right to inspect the Collateral, and the right to audit and copy
Borrower's books and records**. Silicon shall take reasonable steps to keep
confidential all information obtained in any such inspection or audit, but
Silicon shall have the right to disclose any such information to its auditors,
regulatory agencies, and attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal
process. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower's expense and
the charge therefor shall be $650 per person per day (or such higher amount as
shall represent Silicon's then current standard charge for the same), plus
reasonable out of pocket expenses. Borrower will not enter into any agreement
with any accounting firm, service bureau or third party to store Borrower's
books or records at any location other than Borrower's Address, without first
obtaining Silicon's written consent, which may be conditioned upon such
accounting firm, service bureau or other third party agreeing to give Silicon
the same rights with respect to access to books and records and related rights
as Silicon has under this Loan Agreement. Borrower waives the benefit of any
accountant-client privilege or other evidentiary privilege precluding or
limiting the disclosure, divulgence or delivery of any of its books and records
(except that Borrower does not waive any attorney-client privilege).

whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or not all or
any part of such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on any
earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by Silicon or issued by another institution based upon an
application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Silicon,
then on such date Borrower shall provide to Silicon cash collateral in an amount
equal to the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees
and cost due or to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the
Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit, pursuant to Silicon's then
standard form cash pledge agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, all of Silicon's security interests in all of the Collateral and all
of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full; provided
that, without limiting the fact that Loans are subject to the discretion of
Silicon, Silicon may, in its sole discretion, refuse to make any further Loans
after termination. No termination shall in any way affect or impair any right or
remedy of Silicon, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any
Obligation to Silicon, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed
in full. Upon payment and performance in full of all the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement, Silicon shall promptly deliver to Borrower
termination statements, requests for reconveyances and such other documents as
may be required to fully terminate Silicon's security interests.

7.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence 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 Borrower), may do any one or more
of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to
Borrower under this Agreement or any other document or agreement; (b) Accelerate
and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable,
and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by

Borrower hereby authorizes Silicon without judicial process to enter onto any of
Borrower's premises without interference to search for, take possession of,

cause a custodian to remain on the premises in exclusive control thereof,
without charge for so long as Silicon deems it reasonably necessary in order to
complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other
agreement; provided, however, that should Silicon seek to take possession of any
of the Collateral by Court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any
bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court
rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession; (ii) any demand for
possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession
thereof; and (iii) any requirement that Silicon retain possession of, and not

condition at the time Silicon obtains possession of it or after further
manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or private sales,
in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to
adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral
announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Silicon shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time or
times as Silicon deems reasonable, or on Silicon's premises, or elsewhere and
the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Silicon may
directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at
any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any
private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not
relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is
defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale;
(g) Demand payment of, and collect any Receivables and General Intangibles
comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably
authorizes Silicon to endorse or sign Borrower's name on all collections,
receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail
addressed to Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any
item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Silicon's sole discretion,
to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and
the like for less than face value; (h) Offset against any sums in any of
Borrower's general, special or other Deposit Accounts with Silicon; and (i)

and obligations incurred by Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added
to and become part of the Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear
interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the
Obligations. Without limiting any of Silicon's rights and remedies, from and
after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to
the Obligations shall be increased by an additional four percent per annum.
7.3 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. Borrower and Silicon
agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, "sale") of any Collateral
which complies with the following standards will conclusively
-8-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
be deemed to be commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to
Borrower at least seven days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public
sale, notice of the sale is published at least seven days before the sale in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county where the sale is to be
conducted; (ii) Notice of the sale describes the collateral in general,
non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is conducted at a place designated by
Silicon, with or without the Collateral being present; (iv) The sale commences
at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m; (v) Payment of the purchase price in
cash or by cashier's check or wire transfer is required; (vi) With respect to
any sale of any of the Collateral, Silicon may (but is not obligated to) direct
any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from Borrower any and all
information concerning the same. Silicon shall be free to employ other methods
of noticing and selling the Collateral, in its discretion, if they are
commercially reasonable.
7.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, without
limiting Silicon's other rights and remedies, Borrower grants to Silicon an
irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and
permitting Silicon (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at
any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to
Borrower, and at Borrower's expense, to do any or all of the following, in
Borrower's name or otherwise, but Silicon agrees to exercise the following
powers in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower
any documents that Silicon may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable in order
to perfect and maintain Silicon's security interest in the Collateral, or in
order to exercise a right of Borrower or Silicon, or in order to fully
consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other
present and future agreements; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower any document
exercising, transferring or assigning any option to purchase, sell or otherwise
dispose of or to lease (as lessor or lessee) any real or personal property which
is part of Silicon's Collateral or in which Silicon has an interest; (c) Execute
on behalf of Borrower, any invoices relating to any Receivable, any draft
against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of
claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanic's, materialman's or
other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic's, materialman's or other
lien; (d) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or
proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any instruments, or
documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Silicon's
possession; (e) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by
Silicon; (f) Pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security
interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (g)
Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and
General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other
documents in connection therewith; (h) Pay any sums required on account of
Borrower's taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (i)
Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any
of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (j) Instruct any third party
having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to,
Borrower to give Silicon the same rights of access and other rights with respect
thereto as Silicon has under this Agreement; and (k) Take any action or pay any
sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other present or
future agreements. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable
costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by
Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the
Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal
to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event
shall Silicon's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Silicon's
other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Silicon is in
control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.
7.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale
of the Collateral shall be applied by Silicon first to the reasonable costs,
expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon in
the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon
any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such
order as Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be
paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall
remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency. If, Silicon, in its sole
discretion, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other
credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Silicon shall
have the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole discretion, of either
reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or deferring
the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Silicon of the cash
therefor.
7.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in
this Agreement, Silicon shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a
secured party under the 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 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.

Silicon on account of the Obligations three Business Days after receipt by
Silicon of
-11-
SILICON VALLEY BANK LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
immediately available funds*, and, for purposes of the foregoing, any such funds
received after 12:00 Noon on any day shall be deemed received on the next
Business Day. Silicon shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower's
account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Silicon
in its sole discretion, and Silicon may charge Borrower's loan account for the
amount of any item of payment which is returned to Silicon unpaid.
*(EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO WIRE TRANSFERS WHICH SHALL BE DEEMED APPLIED BY
SILICON ON ACCOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS THE SAME BUSINESS DAY AS DEEMED RECEIVED
BY SILICON)
9.2 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments with respect to the Obligations may
be applied, and in Silicon's sole discretion reversed and re-applied, to the
Obligations, in such order and manner as Silicon shall determine in its sole
discretion.
9.3 CHARGES TO ACCOUNTS. Silicon may, in its discretion, require that
Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Silicon, or charge them to
Borrower's Loan account, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate
applicable to the Loans. Silicon may also, in its discretion, charge any
monetary Obligations to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.
9.4 MONTHLY ACCOUNTINGS. Silicon shall provide Borrower monthly with an
account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on
Borrower and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of

notifies Silicon in writing to the contrary within thirty days after each
account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or admissions.
9.5 NOTICES. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery service or
by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt requested,
addressed to Silicon or Borrower at the addresses shown in the heading to this
Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one party to the

Division, to the attention of the Division Manager or the Division Credit

following the deposit thereof in the United States mail, with postage prepaid.
9.6 SEVERABILITY. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not
affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and
effect.
9.7 INTEGRATION. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents
and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire
and complete agreement between Borrower and Silicon and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of
which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral
understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not
set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties
in connection herewith.
9.8 WAIVERS. The failure of Silicon at any time or times to require Borrower
to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other
present or future agreement between Borrower and Silicon shall not waive or
diminish any right of Silicon later to demand and receive strict compliance
therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other
default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the
provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by Borrower and delivered to Silicon shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or knowledge of Silicon or its agents or employees, but only
by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Silicon and
delivered to Borrower. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release,
compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper,
instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held
by Silicon on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any
action taken by Silicon, unless expressly required by this Agreement.
9.9 NO LIABILITY FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. Neither Silicon, nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Silicon shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or
damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower
or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Silicon, or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Silicon, but nothing herein shall relieve Silicon from
liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.10 AMENDMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived
or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly authorized
officer of Silicon.
9.11 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower
of each and every obligation under this Agreement.
9.12 ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS. Borrower shall reimburse Silicon for all
reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance,
appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Silicon, pursuant to,
or
-12-

in any litigation relating to Borrower.* In satisfying Borrower's obligation

convenience, issue checks directly to Silicon's attorneys, Levy, Small & ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
but Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Levy, Small & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is representing

recover its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees, including (but not limited to)
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of, execution
upon or defense of any order, decree, award or judgment. All attorneys' fees and

AND AGREES THAT THE CAP DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY COSTS OR OTHER FEES INCURRED BY
SILICON OR ITS COUNSEL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS' FEES INCURRED

9.13 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs,
beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Silicon; provided, however,
that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Silicon, and any prohibited assignment
shall be void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release Borrower
from its liability for the Obligations.
9.14 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than one
Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any
claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise
with, or a release of, any other Borrower.
9.15 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower against
Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys,
based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any other
present or future document or agreement, or any other transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or
thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Silicon, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be
barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an action or
proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint
within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such
claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of a
summons and complaint on an officer of Silicon, or on any other person
authorized to accept service on behalf of Silicon, within thirty (30) days
thereafter. Borrower agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and
sufficient time for Borrower to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause
of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or
extended except by the written consent of Silicon in its sole discretion. This
provision shall survive any termination of this Loan Agreement or any other
present or future agreement.
9.16 PARAGRAPH HEADINGS; CONSTRUCTION. Paragraph headings are only used in
this Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Silicon acknowledge that the
headings may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable
paragraph, and the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit,
define or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. The term
"including", whenever used in this Agreement, shall mean "including (but not
limited to)". This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the
parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this
Agreement shall be construed strictly against Silicon or Borrower under any rule
of construction or otherwise.
9.17 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; VENUE. This Agreement and all acts and
transactions hereunder and all rights and obligations of Silicon and Borrower
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. As a material part of

SCHEDULE TO
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
BORROWER: IDENTIX INCORPORATED
ADDRESS: ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2001
This Schedule forms an integral part of the Loan and Security Agreement between
Silicon Valley Bank and the above-borrower of even date.
1. CREDIT LIMIT
(Section 1.1): An amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i)
$7,500,000 at any one time outstanding (the
"Maximum Credit Limit"); or (ii) 80% (the
"Percentage Advance Rate") of the amount of
Borrower's Eligible Receivables (as defined in
Section 8 above).
The foregoing Percentage Advance Rate is typically
based on the quality of the Receivables and
attendant Dilution as follows: up to 80% Percentage
Advance Rate with Dilution less than 10%; up to 75%
Percentage Advance Rate when Dilution is over 10%
but less than 15%. If Dilution exceeds 15%, a
Reserve is established for the dilution factor
rounded up to the nearest whole number then
multiplied by a factor of up to 70%.
As used above, "Dilution" means all deductions from
Receivables by Account Debtors of Borrower, other
than those arising from payment thereof, and
includes without limitation deductions arising from
advertising and other allowances, credit memos,
returns, bad debts, and all other deductions, as
determined by Silicon's audit and for such period
as Silicon shall determine. Changes in the
Percentage Advance Rate based on Dilution shall go
into effect when Silicon has determined the amount
of the Dilution and given written notice to the
Borrower of the change in the Percentage Advance
Rate. If, as a result of a decrease in the
Percentage Advance Rate, the total Loans and other
Obligations exceed the Credit Limit, the Borrower
shall pay the excess to Silicon in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.

be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for
the actual number of days elapsed. "Prime Rate"
means the rate announced from time to time by

which other rates charged by Silicon are based, and
it is not necessarily the best rate available at
