R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested Lender to make certain loans to Borrower
for working capital and certain other needs as provided herein and Lender is
agreeable to make such loans upon the terms and conditions hereof;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained and other valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which the parties hereto acknowledge, the
parties have agreed as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Loan Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings unless the context requires otherwise:
Borrower's Obligations means all present and future obligations of Borrower
to Lender hereunder, under the Note, or any other document executed in
connection herewith.
Default means any event set forth in Section 6.1 hereof.
Lender's Obligations means all present and future obligations of Lender to
Borrower hereunder, or any other document executed in connection herewith.
Loan Agreement means this Loan Agreement and all attachments, exhibits,
schedules hereto, all as may be amended from time to time.
Loan Rate means the Prime Rate listed in the Western edition of the Wall
Street Journal or, if not so listed, the reference rate in use by Bank of
America NS & TA on the final business day of each month, plus one-half percent
(1/2 %), as applied to the payment for the next month.
Payment Dates means the first day of each calendar month.
2. LOANS.
2.1. Lender agrees, on terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, to make
loans (hereinafter called individually a "Loan" and, collectively "The Loans"),
to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to
but not exceeding Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Within such limit,
and subject to the various conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow,
repay, re-borrow at any time or from time to time from the date hereof up to and
including the earlier of March 1, 2000 and the termination of the commitment of
Lender, as provided at Section 6.2 below. The obligation of Lender to make Loans
up to but not exceeding such aggregate amount at any one time outstanding herein
is hereinafter called its "Commitment."
2.2. Except for the borrowing contemplated to be made upon execution of
this Agreement, as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g), Borrower shall give Lender at
least three(3) calendar days' written notice (effective upon receipt) specifying
the amount and date of each borrowing under Section 2.1. The foregoing
notwithstanding, and provided all conditions have otherwise been met, the timing
set forth in Schedule 3.1(g) shall be deemed written notice of the amounts and
dates set forth in the Schedule.
2.3. Borrower's obligations to pay the principal of and interest on the
Loans shall be evidenced by its grid promissory note in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (the "Note") payable to the order of Lender. The Note shall reflect the
amount of the Commitment, with actual Loans, repayments and balances noted by
Lender on the grid attached to the Note and made a part thereof. The Note shall
bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof until such principal amount
shall be paid in full at a per annum rate equal to the Loan Rate (based on a
year of 365 or actual number of days elapsed). The Loan Rate shall apply to the
average outstanding principal balance on the Note during any month which shall
be the summation of the daily balances during such month divided by the number
of days in the particular month. Unless accelerated in accordance with the
provisions of this Loan Agreement, the interest on the Note for any calendar
month shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of each consecutive Payment Date
immediately following such calendar month until full payment of the Loan (and
related interest), with the first Payment Date being the first day of the month
immediately following execution of this Agreement. All principal and interest on
the Note shall be due and payable in full on March 1, 2000. If any Payment Date
(or other date for payment hereunder) falls on a day which is not a business
day, such Payment Date (or other date of payment) shall be the next succeeding
business day.
2.4. Mandatory Repayment. The foregoing notwithstanding, beginning on and
after any date, from the date of this Loan Agreement to the termination of
Lender's Commitment, that Borrower receives third party financing, whether
equity or debt ("Financing"), in an amount in excess of One Million U.S. Dollars
($1,000,000) in the aggregate ("Financing Threshold"), Borrower shall repay,
fifty percent (50%) of each dollar received above the Financing Threshold from
such Financing, toward any and all amounts of principal and interest outstanding
under this Loan Agreement until such amounts have been fully repaid and further,
Lender's Commitment shall terminate and not be renewed. Solely by way of
example, in the event Borrower shall receive Financing in an aggregate amount of
$750,000 at any time during the first nine (9) months of this Agreement, and six
(6) months thereafter Borrower receives additional Financing in an amount
$500,000, Borrower shall repay to Lender, promptly following receipt of the
$500,000, the sum of $125,000 representing fifty percent (50%) of all Financing
received above the Financing Threshold, which amount shall be applied to all
interest accrued on the Loans and unpaid to that date plus, to the extent that
accrued unpaid interest constitutes less than $125,000, that amount of principal
outstanding representing the difference between the amount of accrued unpaid
interest and $125,000. Thereafter, fifty percent (50%) of every dollar of
additional Financing provided to Borrower shall be paid over to Lender, and no
more Loans shall be authorized, until the full amount of any and all unpaid
principal and interest on the Loans shall have been paid.
2.5. All payments to Lender shall be paid by Borrower to Lender at Lender's
address as follows: Imatron Inc., 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx., Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX
00000, Attn. President. All amounts paid shall be applied first, to the payment
of all interest accrued and payable with respect to the Note; and second, to the
payment of outstanding principal of the Loan; and third, following Default, to
the payment of all expenses and charges, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
included by Lender for the protection of its rights or the pursuance of its
remedies.
2.6. The Loans or any part thereof may be prepaid at any time without
penalty.
2.7. The interest and other charges charged with respect to the Loans shall
not exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction or an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable to the Loans. As of the date of execution of this
Loan Agreement, the parties hereto, in good faith, agree that the total interest
and other charges payable by Borrower to Lender under the terms of this Loan
Agreement do not exceed the maximum legal interest rate applicable to the Loans.
If it is determined that Lender has received interest and other consideration
with respect to the Loans in excess of the highest rate applicable to the Loans,
Lender shall promptly refund not more than such excess amount to Borrower and
the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible
rate.

California, in accordance with Title 9 of the U.S. Code and the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in
effect, and shall be held in the county of San Francisco, CA. All statutes of
limitations which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration
proceeding under this subparagraph 9.1. Judgment upon the award rendered may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. This subparagraph 9.1 shall apply only
if, at the time of the proposed submission to AAA, none of the obligations to
Lender described in or covered by any of the Subject Documents are secured by
real property collateral or, if so secured, all parties consent to such
submission.
9.2. If the controversy or claim is not submitted to arbitration as
provided and limited in Section 9.1, but becomes the subject of a judicial
action, any party may elect to have all decisions of fact and law determined by
a referee in accordance with applicable state law. If such an election is made,
the parties shall designate to the court a referee or referees selected under

help remedies such as setoff, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies
such as injunctive relief or the appointment of a receiver from a court having
jurisdiction before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration. The
institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of
provisional or ancillary remedies or exercise of self help remedies shall not
constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to
submit the controversy or claim to arbitrators.
9.4. The parties understand and agree the arbitration will be their
exclusive form of resolving disputes between them regarding the issues covered
by this Agreement. BOTH PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR ENTITLEMENT, IF ANY, TO
HAVE CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN THEM DECIDED BY A JURY OR COURT OF LAW.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.

without the written consent of Lender and shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto, their legal representatives, permitted successors
and assigns. This Loan Agreement and/or the note or any part thereof may be
assigned by Lender without the consent of Borrower. No amendment hereunder shall
be effective unless in writing signed by the parties hereto and no waiver
hereunder shall be effective unless in writing, signed by the party to be
charged. No failure to exercise, no delay in exercising, and no single or
partial exercise on the part of Lender of any right, remedy, or power hereunder,
shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude Lender from exercising any other
right, remedy or power hereunder. Any provision of this Loan Agreement or the
Note which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or of the note. The
representations, warranties, obligations and indemnities of Borrower herein
shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement to the extent required for
their full observance and performance. The obligation of each comaker (if any)
of this Loan Agreement or the Note shall be primary, joint and several and each
such comaker hereby irrevocably consents to any extension of time of payments
and/or the execution of any refinancing or restructuring agreements relative to
this Loan Agreement or the Note. In the event Borrower fails to meet any
obligation of it hereunder, Lender may at its option satisfy such obligation and
Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand therefor. The captions in this Loan
Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit any of the
terms hereof. This Loan Agreement may be executed in counterparts and all said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

California in accordance with Title 9 of the U.S. Code and the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in
effect, and shall be held in the county of San Francisco, CA. All statutes of
limitations which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration
proceeding under this subparagraph 12(a). Judgment upon the award rendered may

only if, at the time of the proposed submission to AAA, none of the obligations
to Lender described in or covered by any of the Subject Documents are secured by
real property collateral or, if so secured, all parties consent to such
submission.

action, any party may elect to have all decisions of fact and law determined by
a referee in accordance with applicable state law. If such an election is made,
the parties shall designate to the court a referee or referees selected under

jurisdiction before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration. The
institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of
provisional or ancillary remedies or exercise of self help remedies shall not
constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to
submit the controversy or claim to arbitrators.
d. The parties understand and agree the arbitration will be their
exclusive form of resolving disputes between them regarding the issues covered
by this Agreement. BOTH PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR ENTITLEMENT, IF ANY, TO
HAVE CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN THEM DECIDED BY A JURY OR COURT OF LAW.

same instrument.

interest on the Loans.
C. Lender has notified Borrower of its default under the Note and the Loan
Documents.
D. The Borrower has agreed to make a payment on the Note and requested that

Date of the Note.
E. The Lender has agreed to modify the Loan Documents as set forth herein.
F. Any and all initially capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Documents unless specifically defined
herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and promises contained herein the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that as of April 20, 1998, the
outstanding principal balance due and owing under the Note is $840,706.76 plus
accrued interest to such date of $5,804.33.

collection cost, attorney's fees and expenses of Lender incurred in connection
with Borrower's Default and the modification of the Loan Documents after

monthly installment is due. Maker shall pay to Payee an amount equal
to the payment received by Maker from BCPA under the BCPA Contract
each month prior to the Maturity Date; such payment shall be due not
later than one day after Maker receives the BCPA payment. If the

installment dated March 31, 1998 and deposited by Lender on April 6,
1998 shall be treated as a March 1998 payment."
4. The Loan Documents require the Lender consents to certain action of the
Borrower. In this regard, the Lender hereby consents to the following actions:
(a) Borrower is authorized to issue and sell for $100.00 to Imatron a
number of shares of the Borrower's common stock, $0.01 par value, equal to 51%
of the Borrower's outstanding voting securities on a fully diluted basis,
exclusive of out of the money warrants and/or options and/or convertible
securities, calculated as of the closing date. For purposes of this Section
4(a), the terms "closing date" and "out of the money" are as defined in
paragraph 1 of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 1998 by and
between Borrower and Imatron (the "Purchase Agreement").
(b) Borrower is authorized to borrow $500,000.00 from Imatron (the
"Imatron Loan") upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Board of Directors
of the Borrower.
(c) In connection with the Imatron Loan, the Borrower may grant
Imatron a subordinate lien on all the personal property of the Borrower;
provided that Imatron and Borrower execute a Subordination Agreement in the form
as that attached hereto as Exhibit A.
5. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Subordination Agreement to the
contrary, the Lender agrees that the proceeds received from the third party
subordinated financing, whether equity or debt, arranged by Imatron
("Financing") may be used and allocated as herein described. Financing in an
aggregate amount equal to the first $1,000,000 (the "Financing Threshold") shall
remain as working capital for the Borrower and shall not be required to be used
by the Borrower to repay any principal owing on the Note that is not past due;
provided such sums are not used to pay any principal or interest owing on the
Imatron Loan. The Borrower shall use one-half (1/2) of each dollar ($1.00)
received above the Financing Threshold to repay any and all principal (and,
thereafter, accrued interest) outstanding under the terms of the Note and
Borrower shall use the other one-half (1/2) of such dollar ($1.00) to repay any
and all amounts of principal and interest outstanding under the terms of the
Imatron Loan. The provisions of this paragraph 5 shall not be construed as a
modification of any of the other provisions of the Loan Agreement or the
Subordination Agreement, shall not relieve the Borrower's obligations to make
the monthly payments due under the Note from any source and shall not amend or
alter the Maturity Date or the Borrower's obligation to pay the Note on the
Maturity Date.
6. Borrower acknowledges that certain Events of Default have occurred (the
"Prior Defaults") and are continuing as of the date of this Agreement. In order
to allow the Borrower to consummate the Imatron Loan, the Lender agrees to waive
all Prior Defaults and not to pursue any remedies available under the Loan
Documents as a result of the Prior Defaults. The waiver of the Prior Defaults
and Lender's agreement not to pursue its remedies with respect to Prior Defaults
shall in no way be construed as a waiver or impairment of the Lender's interests
and right under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, Lender's
right to exercise any rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents with
respect to Events of Default occurring at any time or from time to time after
the date of this Agreement, and such rights shall be cumulative and not
exclusive.
7. In order to induce the Lender to waive the Prior Defaults and execute
this Agreement the Borrower agrees to issue and deliver to Borrower simultaneous
with the execution of this Agreement a Stock Purchase Warrant for Common Stock
to purchase 1,150,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Borrower
at a purchase price of $0.25 per share (the "Warrant") in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto and made a part hereof. In addition, simultaneously with the
execution of this Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to Lender the sum of
$50,000 cash (the "Special Payment"). The Special Payment shall be used first to
pay all Lender Costs and, thereafter, applied to the Note. The portion of the
Special Payment applied to the Note is in addition to and shall not constitute
any portion of any scheduled monthly installments required by the terms of the
Note. Lender acknowledges that the Borrower does not currently have sufficient
shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants and the
Additional Warrants described herein.
8. Lender hereby agrees that the Borrower shall have the right and option
as described herein to redeem a portion of the shares of Common Stock that are
subject to the Warrant by payment of all or a portion of the outstanding
principal and interest on the Note as follows:
(i) If the Note is paid in full prior to May 31, 1998, the number of
shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, represented by the Warrant will be
reduced by 650,000 shares to 500,000 shares;
(ii) If the Note is paid in full prior to June 30, 1998, the number of
shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, represented by the Warrant will be
reduced by 500,000 shares to 650,000 shares;
(iii) If a portion of the Note, in excess of the scheduled monthly
payments, is repaid to Lender prior to May 31, 1998, the number of shares of
Common Stock, $0.01 par value, represented by the Warrant shall be reduced by
one (1) share of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, to a maximum of 650,000 shares
for each one dollar ($1.00) of principal (in excess of scheduled payments) that
the Note is repaid prior to May 31, 1998; and
(iv) If a portion of the Note, in excess of the scheduled monthly
payments, is repaid to Lender prior to June 30, 1998, the number of shares of
Common Stock, $0.01 par value, represented by the Warrant shall be reduced by
three-quarters (3/4) of a share of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, up to a
maximum of 500,000 shares (rounded down to the nearest share) for each one
dollar ($1.00) of principal (in excess of scheduled payments) that the Note is
repaid prior to June 30, 1998.
9. The Borrower and Lender hereby modify Section 6 of the Loan Agreement to
add the following Affirmative Covenants at the end of such Section
"L. BCPA Contract. Borrower shall notify Lender within five
(5) days of the execution of this Agreement of (i) BCPA's alleged
option purchase price for the Cardiology Machine that is subject to the
BCPA Contract as calculated by Borrower and (ii) the amount and terms
of payment credits available in Borrower's opinion to BCPA (in detail)
under the terms of the BCPA Contract. Borrower will use its best
efforts to cause BCPA to exercise its option to purchase the Cardiology
Machines in accordance with the BCPA Contract.
M. Increase in Authorized Shares. On or before the Maturity
Date of the Note, the Borrower shall cause its Articles of
Incorporation to be amended and its Certificate of Amendment duly filed
to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized to be
issued to am amount equal to (i) the outstanding number of shares plus
(ii) the number of shares which could be issued upon the exercise of
all outstanding warrants, options, contracts or commitments of any kind
entitling Person to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of common
stock of Borrower.
N. Notice of Imatron Termination. Borrower shall advise
Lender in writing within twenty-four (24) hours after Borrower's
receipt of notice (oral or written) from Imatron that Imatron no longer
intends to use its best efforts to assist the Borrower in obtaining
financing or no longer intends to use its best efforts to cause the
placement and purchase of ten (10) Cardiology Machines from the
Borrower."
10. Except as otherwise set forth herein this Agreement shall not impair,
limit, restrict or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower to Lender under
the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby acknowledges, agrees and represents that (a)
Borrower is indebted to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Note as modified
hereby and Borrower agrees that the Loan Documents are valid and binding and are
in full force and effect according to their terms and conditions; (b) the Liens,
security interests and assignments created and evidenced by the Loan Documents
are, respectively, valid and subsisting liens, security interests and
assignments of the respective dignity and priority recited in the Loan
Documents; (c) Borrower has no claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims
against Lender whether arising under the Loan Documents or otherwise; and (d)
Lender is not in default and no event has occurred which, with the passage of
time, giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Lender of
Lender's obligations under the Security Documents. To the extent Borrower now
has any claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims against Lender or the
repayment of all or a portion of the Note, whether known or unknown, fixed or
contingent, the same are hereby forever irrevocably waived and released in their
entirety.
11. Lender has been advised that Borrower has amended or modified the BCPA
Contract. Lender has not and does not consent to any such amendments or
modifications and nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the Lender's
agreement and consent to be bound by the terms or conditions of any amendments
or modifications. The provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute Lender's
consent or agreement to the amount of the payment credits allegedly given by
Borrower to BCPA under any amendments to the BCPA Contract.
12. Lender and Borrower agree that, except as modified herein, all of the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents are hereby ratified and reaffirmed.
13. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be binding upon
Lender unless the Borrower satisfies or fulfills each of the following
conditions on or before May 1, 1998:
(a) Borrower's delivery to Lender of a certificate of an officer of
Borrower certifying that attached thereto is a true and correct copy of
resolutions of the Board of Directors of Borrower authorizing the execution of

whether equity or debt ("Financing"), in an amount in excess of $1,000,000 in
the aggregate ("Financing Threshold") after the date of this Agreement, the
Senior Creditor hereby agrees that (provided that principal and interest on the
Senior Debt is not past due) one-half (1/2) of each dollar received above the
Financing Threshold from such Financing may be used to repay principal and
interest owing to the Subordinated Creditor; provided that a like amount is used
to pay principal and interest owing to the Senior Debt.
(b) The Subordinated Creditor agrees that until payment in full of the
Senior Debt, no holder of Subordinated Debt shall take any action to (x)
accelerate the maturity of, or demand as immediately due and payable, all or any
part of the Subordinated Debt, (y) commence, continue or participate in any
judicial, arbitral or other proceeding or any other enforcement action of any
kind against Borrower or any of such Borrower's assets (including any
involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code) seeking, directly or
indirectly, to enforce any of their rights or remedies, or to enforce any of the
obligations incurred by Borrower under or in connection with the Subordinated
Debt or the Subordinated Debt Documents, or (z) commence or pursue any judicial,
arbitral or other proceeding or legal action of any kind, seeking injunctive or
other equitable relief to prohibit, limit or impair the commencement or pursuit
by Senior Creditor of any of its rights or remedies under or in connection with
the Senior Creditor Loan Documents or otherwise available to Senior Creditor
under applicable law.
6. Turnover of Prohibited Transfers. If notwithstanding the provisions of this
Agreement any payment, distribution, Collateral or security (other than
Reorganization Securities), or the proceeds thereof, are received by any holder
of Subordinated Debt on account of or with respect to any of the Subordinated
Debt, such payment, distribution, Collateral or security (other than
Reorganization Securities) shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall

form received (except for the addition of any endorsement or assignment
necessary to effect a transfer of all rights therein to Senior Creditor) for

by the Inter-Creditor Agreement. Senior Creditor is irrevocably authorized to
supply any required endorsement or assignment which may have been omitted. Until
so delivered, Subordinated Creditor shall exercise its best efforts to ensure
that such payment, distribution or security shall not be commingled with other
funds or property of Subordinated Creditor.
7. Amendments to Documents.
(a) Senior Creditor and Borrower shall be authorized to amend any of
the Senior Creditor Loan Documents to which they are a party in accordance with
the terms thereof, and without prior notice to or the consent of any of the
holders of the Subordinated Debt.
(b) Without the prior written consent of Senior Creditor (which
consent may be given or withheld in Senior Creditor's sole discretion), no
provision of the Subordinated Debt Documents shall be amended, modified or
supplemented if the effect thereof would be to (i) advance the originally
scheduled dates for the payment of principal, interest or other sums payable in
respect of any Subordinated Debt, or modify in any manner adverse to Borrower
the dates for or premiums payable in connection with prepayments, (ii) impose on
Borrower prepayment charges, closing fees or other fees or (iii) impose on
Borrower any representations, warranties, covenants, events of default or other
provisions that are more restrictive or burdensome to Borrower than the terms
and provisions of the Subordinated Debt Documents as in effect on the date of
this Agreement.
8. Certain Waivers and Consents. Borrower and Subordinated Creditor each hereby
waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be
asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement in any
action brought therefor by Senior Creditor. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, Borrower and Subordinated Creditor each hereby further waives:
presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor,
notice of payment or nonpayment and any and all other notices and demands of any
kind in connection with all negotiable instruments evidencing all or any portion
of the Senior Debt; the right to require Senior Creditor to xxxxxxxx any
Collateral or security, or to enforce any Lien that Senior Creditor may now or
hereafter have in any Collateral securing the Senior Debt or to pursue any claim
it may have against any guarantor of the Senior Debt, as a condition to Senior
Creditor's entitlement to receive any payment on account of the Senior Debt;
notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by Senior Creditor; and notice of any
credit made available to Borrower, extensions of time granted, amendments to the
Loan Agreement or the other Senior Creditor Loan Documents, or other action
taken in reliance hereon. Subordinated Creditor hereby consents and agrees that
Senior Creditor may, without in any manner impairing, releasing or otherwise
affecting the subordination provided for in this Agreement or any of Senior
Creditor's rights hereunder and without prior notice to or the consent of
Subordinated Creditor: release, renew, extend, compromise or postpone the time
of payment of any of the Senior Debt; substitute, exchange or release any or all
of the Collateral or decline or neglect to perfect Senior Creditor's Lien upon
any of the Collateral; add or release any Person primarily or secondarily liable
from any of the Senior Debt; amend or modify any of the Senior Creditor Loan
Documents or waive any Senior Debt Default; and increase or decrease the amount
of the Senior Debt or the rate of interest or the amount of any other charges
payable in connection therewith.
9. Subrogation. Provided that the Senior Debt has been indefeasibly paid and
discharged and any commitment that Senior Creditor may have under the Senior
Creditor Loan Documents to make loans or extend other credit has been terminated
or expired, the holders of Subordinated Debt shall be subrogated (without any
representation by or recourse to Senior Creditor) to the rights of Senior
Creditor to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities
payable or distributable on account of the Senior Debt, to the extent that the
Senior Creditor would be entitled to have such payments and distributions paid
over to or for its benefit; and for the purpose of such subrogation, no payment
or distribution to Senior Creditor of any cash, property or securities to which
the holders of Subordinated Debt would otherwise be entitled except for the
provisions of this Agreement, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement to Senior Creditor by the holders of Subordinated Debt, shall, as
between Borrower and its creditors other than Senior Creditor and the holders of
Subordinated Debt, be deemed to be a payment by Borrower to or on account of any
Subordinated Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement are
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Senior Creditor, on
the one hand, and the holder of Subordinated Debt, on the other. In no event,
however, shall any holder of Subordinated Debt have any rights or claims against
Senior Creditor for any impairment of Subordinated Creditor's subrogation rights
that might result from Senior Creditor's release of any Lien upon any
Collateral, forgiveness, compromise, extension or discharge of any Senior Debt,
release of Borrower, or vote to accept or reject any Plan.
10. Statement of Account. Subordinated Creditor agrees to render to Senior
Creditor from time to time upon Senior Creditor's request therefor a statement
of Borrower's account with Subordinated Creditor and Borrower agrees to afford
Senior Creditor access to the books and records of Borrower in order that Senior
Creditor may make a full examination of the state of accounts of Borrower with
Subordinated Creditor
11. Validity of Subordinated Debt. The provisions of this Agreement
subordinating the Subordinated Debt to the Senior Debt are solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of Senior Creditor and Subordinated
Creditor and shall not impair, as between Subordinated Creditor and Borrower,
the obligation of Borrower, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the
Subordinated Debt in accordance with its terms except as payment thereof may be
postponed in accordance with this Agreement.
12. Indulgences Not Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of
Senior Creditor to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof or give rise to an estoppel, nor be construed
as an agreement to modify the terms of this Agreement, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege
with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver by a party hereunder shall be
effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party making such waiver,
and then only to the extent specifically stated in such writing.
13. Duration. This Agreement shall become effective when executed by Borrower
and Subordinated Creditor and accepted by Senior Creditor in Denver, Colorado,
and, when so accepted, shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination,
and shall remain in effect until all of the Senior Debt has been paid in full in
immediately available funds. Senior Creditor may, without notice to Subordinated
Creditor, extend or continue credit and make other financial accommodations to
or for the account of Borrower in reliance upon this Agreement. The provisions
of this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment of any Senior Debt is rescinded or otherwise must
be returned by Senior Creditor, all as if any such payment had not been made.
14. Default and Enforcement. If at any time any holder of Subordinated Debt
fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement that is applicable to such
holder, Senior Creditor may demand specific performance of this Agreement,
whether or not Borrower itself has complied with the terms hereof, and may
exercise any other remedy available at law or equity. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if any holder of Subordinated Debt, in violation of
this Agreement, shall institute or participate in any action, suit or proceeding
against Borrower, then Borrower may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea this
Agreement and Senior Creditor is irrevocably authorized to intervene and to
interpose such defense or plea in its or Borrower's name. If any holder of
Subordinated Debt attempts to assert or enforce any Lien with respect to any
Collateral in violation of this Agreement, Borrower or Senior Creditor (in
Borrower's or Senior Creditors name) may by virtue of this Agreement restrain
such enforcement.
15. Litigation; Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower, Senior Creditor, Subordinated
Creditor and each other holder of Subordinated Debt each hereby irrevocably
consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Colorado and of any
federal court located in the State of Colorado, in connection with any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. In any such litigation,
Borrower, Subordinated Creditor, each other holder of Subordinated Debt and
Senior Creditor each hereby waives personal service of any summons, complaint or
other process, and agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified mail
direct to Borrower, Subordinated Creditor and Senior Creditor at their
respective places of business set forth in Section 16 hereof, and, in the case
of any other holder of Subordinated Debt, at the last known address for such
holder. Within 30 days after such mailing, the party so served shall appear and
answer to such summons, complaint or other process. Should the party so served
fail to appear or answer within said 30-day period, then such party failing to
appear or answer shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered against
such party for the amount or other relief as demanded in any summons, complaint
or other process so served. In the alternative, in its sole discretion, any
party may effect service upon any other party in any other form or manner
permitted by applicable law. The choice of forum set forth herein shall not be
deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum or the
taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce the same in any appropriate
jurisdiction, or the commencement by Senior Creditor or Subordinated Creditor,
in its sole discretion, of any action or suit in any jurisdiction where any
Collateral may be found to repossess or foreclose upon any such Collateral.
16. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any notice, demand,
request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be
given to or served upon any of the parties by the other party, or whenever any
party desires to give or serve upon any other party any communication with
respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to

by the party entitled to receive such notice. Failure or delay in delivering
copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication to any person (other than Senior Creditor, Subordinated Lender or
Borrower) designated above to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect
the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication.
17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and expresses the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, inducements or
conditions, whether express or implied, oral or written. Neither this Agreement
nor any portion or provision hereof may be changed, waived or amended orally or
in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Senior Creditor,
Borrower and Subordinated Creditor.
18. Additional Documentation. Borrower and Subordinated Creditor shall execute
and deliver to Senior Creditor such further instruments and shall take such
further action as Senior Creditor may reasonably request from time to time in
order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.
19. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Senior
Creditor, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon both Borrower
and Subordinated Creditor and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, that neither Subordinated Creditor nor any subsequent holder of any
Subordinated Debt shall assign or transfer to any Person any part of the
Subordinated Debt.
20. Defects Waived. This Agreement is effective notwithstanding any defect in
the validity or enforceability of any instrument or document at any time
evidencing or securing the whole or any part of the Senior Debt.
21. Governing Law. The validity, construction and enforcement of this Agreement
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Colorado.
22. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and
separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held
invalid or unenforceable, it is the intent of the parties that such invalidity
or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision hereof, and that this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid
or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
23. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties to this Agreement on separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but
all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature
delivered by a party by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be an original
signature hereto.
24. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH
COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN
EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL
LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR
DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO
ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN
CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED
WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS HEREUNDER.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be

POSITRON CORPORATION
Right to Purchase 1,150,000 Shares
(Subject to adjustment)
Stock Purchase Warrant for Common Stock
POSITRON CORPORATION (hereinafter called the "Company"), a Texas
corporation, hereby certifies that, for value received,
PROFUTURES BRIDGE CAPITAL FUND, L.P.
or registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the Company
at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as hereinafter
defined) an aggregate of One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,150,000)
fully paid and non-assessable shares, subject to adjustment as provided below,
of the Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock") of the Company, on the
payment therefor of the purchase price (subject to adjustment as stated herein)
which shall be equal to $0.25 (the "Exercise Price") for each share of the
Common Stock so purchased, upon the surrender of this Warrant duly signed by the
registered Holder hereof at the time of exercise, accompanied by payment of the
purchase price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set
forth.
I. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall be exercisable during the period
beginning April 1, 1998 and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Houston time) on March 31, 2008
(the "Exercise Period"). During the Exercise Period, this Warrant may be
exercised, in whole or in part at any time as follows:
The Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company at its
then principal office or that of the duly authorized and acting transfer agent
for its Common Stock, together with an exercise form substantially in the form
of the exercise form on the last page of this Warrant signifying the Holder's
election to exercise this Warrant and specifying the number of shares of Common
Stock to be purchased, duly signed, together with the purchase price of the
Common Stock in the form of a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the
order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price,
adjusted as provided herein, for the number of shares of Common Stock being
purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event may this
Warrant be exercised by any Holder who is not an accredited investor as such
term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act.
II. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATE ON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the
exercise of this Warrant and payment of the purchase price, the Company will
cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the registered Holder hereof
or its assigns, or such Holder's nominee or nominees, a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock of the Company to
which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise (and in the case of a
partial exercise, a Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised portion remaining
subject to exercise prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period set forth
herein or, at the Holder's option, this Warrant shall be returned to the Holder
with an appropriate notation made hereon). For all corporate purposes, such
certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder
or such Holder's designee to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date the duly executed
exercise form pursuant to this Warrant, together with full payment, is received
by the Company as aforesaid. No fraction of a share or scrip certificate for
such fraction shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant; in lieu
thereof, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Holder cash equal to a
like fraction at the prevailing market price for such share as determined by the
Company.
III. NET ISSUE EXERCISE. In lieu of exercising this Warrant, the Holder may
elect to receive shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or
the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares using the
following formula:
X = Y (A- B)
A
Where X = The number of shares to be issued to Holder Y = The number of shares
then purchasable under this Warrant A = The fair market value of one
share B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculations
For purposes of this provision, the fair market value of the shares of Common
Stock of the Company shall mean the average of the closing bid and asked prices
of the shares quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the closing price
quoted in any exchange or quotation system on which the shares are listed,
whichever is applicable, as published in the Wall Street Journal for the ten
(10) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value. If
the shares are not traded Over-The-Counter or on an exchange or quotation
system, the fair market value shall be the price per share which the Company
could obtain from a willing buyer for shares sold by the Company from authorized
but unissued shares, as such price shall be agreed by the Company and the
Holder.
IV. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS.
A. Dividends. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant, in the
event that a dividend shall be declared upon the Common Stock of the Company
payable in shares of said stock, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
this Warrant shall be adjusted by adding thereto the number of shares which
would have been distributable thereon if such shares had been outstanding on the
date fixed for determining the shareholders entitled to receive such stock
dividend. If at any time the Company shall pay any dividend or make any
distributions upon its Common Stock other than a dividend payable in shares of
said stock or shall offer to the holders of its Common Stock for subscription or
purchase by them any shares of any class or any other rights, the Company shall
cause notice thereof to be mailed to the Holder at its address appearing on the
registry books of the Company at least thirty days prior to the record date as
of which holders of shares shall participate in such dividend, distribution or
subscription rights, specifying such date.
B. Reorganizations/Consolidation/Mergers. Except as otherwise provided
in this Warrant, in the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares of stock or other securities of the Company or, of another corporation,
whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of
shares, merger or consolidation, then there shall be substituted for the shares
of Common Stock covered by this Warrant, the number and kind of shares of stock
or other securities which would have been substituted therefor if such shares
had been outstanding on the date fixed for determining the shareholders entitled
to receive such changed or substituted stock or other securities.
C. Other Changes.
1. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to
Paragraph IV.D., the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be
entitled to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price in effect on the date
purchase rights under this Warrant are exercised, the number of shares of Common
Stock, calculated to the nearest full share, determined by (a) multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to the
adjustment of the Exercise Price by the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment, and (b) dividing the product so obtained by the
adjusted Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
2. In the event there shall be any change, other than
specified elsewhere in this Warrant, in the number or kind of outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Company or of any stock or other securities into which
such Common Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged,
and if such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of
shares covered by this Warrant, such adjustment shall be made by the Board of
Directors of the Company and the Holder.
D. Purchase Price Adjustments. The Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment as follows:
1. In case the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock
(i) by way of split-up of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii) by way of
dividends payable in Common Stock, the Exercise Price thereafter shall be
immediately adjusted and the adjusted Exercise Price shall be equal to the
quotient determined by dividing (A) the product of the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance multiplied by the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance by (B) the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance.
2. No reorganization of the Company and no consolidation or
merger thereof with or into any other corporation or corporations and no
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other
corporation shall be made unless, as a part of such reorganization,
consolidation or merger or conveyance arrangements shall be made whereby the
Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to convert the same into a
warrant or warrants for any stock, securities or other assets given in exchange
for the Common Stock of the Company on such reorganization, or in connection
with such consolidation, merger or conveyance, in such amount and with an
Exercise Price for such value (but not below the par value of the securities
subject to the new warrant) as would, at the time, have been given in exchange
for the Common Stock. The Company shall not increase the par value per share of
any stock or securities issuable under the Warrant to an amount more than $0.01
per share.
3. In case the Company, by reclassification of its Common
Stock or by amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, shall reduce the
number of shares of such Common Stock outstanding, the Exercise Price thereafter
shall be immediately adjusted, and the adjusted Exercise Price shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately before such reduction by the then Exercise Price and the resulting
product shall be divided by the reduced number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding, and the quotient resulting from such division (or the par value of
the Common Stock, whichever is higher) shall be the Exercise Price after such
adjustment, until a further adjustment of the Exercise Price of the Common Stock
shall be required to be made by reason of a further reduction of the number of
shares of such Common Stock outstanding.
4. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the
date of this Warrant issues any additional shares of Common Stock for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the issuance of such additional shares, or without consideration (other than
pursuant to a transaction covered by Paragraphs IV.D.1. or 3. above) then, and
thereafter successively upon each such issuance, but only if the following
calculation shall result in a reduction of the Exercise Price, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares
shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing (a) an amount equal
to (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
following the last previous adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this
Paragraph IV.D. (or on the date of this Warrant if there shall have been no
previous adjustment) multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance, plus (ii) the consideration, if any, received or deemed
to have been received by the Company upon such issuance and upon the issuance of
any Common Stock issued subsequent to the last previous adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Paragraph IV.D. (or subsequent to the date of
this Warrant if there shall have been no such previous adjustment), by (b) the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
issuance of such additional shares. Without limiting the foregoing this
Paragraph IV.D. applies to the issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise of
warrants issuable by the Company pursuant to the Agreement to Issue Warrants of
even date herewith between the Company and ProFutures Bridge Capital Fund, L.P.
E. No Fractional Shares. No adjustment or substitution provided for in
this Warrant shall require the Company to issue or to sell a fractional share
and the total adjustment or substitution with respect to this Warrant shall be
limited accordingly.
F. Calculation. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price and upon
each change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, and in the event of any change in the rights of the
holder by reason of other events hereinabove set forth, the Company shall
forthwith give written notice thereof to the holder in the form of a
certificate, executed by its President or one of its Vice Presidents, stating
the adjusted Exercise Price and the new number of shares so deliverable, or
specifying the other shares of stock, securities or assets and the amount
thereof so deliverable and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
G. Exempt Transactions. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein
to the contrary, no adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price or the number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder in respect of (a) any options,
warrants or other securities outstanding as of the date hereof that are
exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common Stock, (b)
options that may hereafter be granted in accordance with any employee stock
option plan in effect as of the date hereof, (c) the issuance after the date
hereof of any additional shares of Series A 8% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable
Preferred Stock or Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
as dividend in respect of any such outstanding preferred stock, (d) the issuance
of any securities to General Electric Company (or its affiliates) in order to
fund in all or in part the acquisition of assets pursuant to the Acquisition
Agreement (herein so called) dated July 15, 1996 between the Company and General
Electric Company, as such agreement is amended from time to time, or the
issuance of any securities to finance in all or in part the acquisition by the
Company of such assets, or (e) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise, conversion or exchange or any of the securities described in any
one or more of clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above.

written request of one or more persons holding 75% or more of the Registrable
Shares (the "Initiating Holders") that the Company effect the registration under
the Act of the offer and sale of all or part of such Initiating Holders'
Registrable Shares, the Company promptly will give written notice of such
requested registration to all of the other holders of Registrable Shares, and
thereupon the Company will effect, at the earliest possible date, the
registration under the Act of (i) the Registrable Shares which the Company has
been so requested to register by such Initiating Holders, and (ii) all other
Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested to register by the other
holders of the Registrable Shares by written request given to the Company within
30 days after the giving of such written notice by the Company, all to the
extent requisite to permit the public disposition of the Registrable Shares so
to be registered. The Company shall be required to effect only one registration
pursuant to this Paragraph V.B.
2. Whenever the Company shall effect a registration pursuant
to this Paragraph V.B., no securities other than Registrable Shares shall be

C. Piggy-Back Registration.
1. Intentionally Deleted.
2. Whenever the Company proposes to file a Registration
Statement at any time and from time to time, it will, prior to such filing, give
written notice to the Holder of its intention to do so and, upon the written
request of the Holder given within 20 days after the Company provides such
notice, the Company shall cause all Registrable Shares which the Company has
been requested by the Holder to register to be registered under the Act to the
extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with
the intended method of distribution proposed in such registration; provided that
the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration
effected pursuant to this Paragraph without obligation to the Holder. No
registration effected under this Paragraph V.C. shall relieve the Company of its
obligation to effect a registration upon request under Paragraph V.B.
3. No person may participate in any Registration Statement
filed pursuant to this Paragraph V.C. unless such person (a) agrees to sell such
person's Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Company, and (b) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and
other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements; provided, however, that no such person shall be required to make
any representations or warranties in connection with any such registration other
than representations and warranties as to (i) such person's ownership of his or
its Registrable Shares to be sold or transferred free and clear of all liens,
claims and encumbrances, (ii) such person's power and authority to effect such
transfer, and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws
as may be reasonably requested; provided further, however, that the obligation
of such person to indemnify pursuant to any such underwriting arrangements shall

Shares, and the liability of each such person will be in proportion to, and
provided further that such liability will be limited to, the net amount received
by such person from the sale of his or its Registrable Shares pursuant to such
registration; and provided, further, that no Selling Holder shall be required to
agree to any lock-up period in excess of 120 days.
4. Unless the managing underwriter otherwise agrees, each of
the Company and the Holders agrees, and the Company agrees, in connection with
any underwritten registration, to use its reasonable efforts to cause is
affiliates to agree, not to effect any public sale or private offer or
distribution of any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalent during the ten
business days prior to the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any
underwritten registration and during such time period after the effectiveness
under the Securities Act of any underwritten registration (not to exceed 120
days) (except, if applicable, as part of such underwritten registration) as the
Company and the managing underwriter may agree.
5. If the Registrable Shares requested to be included in the
Registration Statement by the Holder pursuant to a registration effected
pursuant to Paragraph V.C.2. differ from the type of securities proposed to be
registered by the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company that
due to such differences the inclusion of such Registrable Shares would
materially and adversely affect the price or success of the offering (a
"Material Adverse Effect"), then (i) the number of such Holder's Registrable
Shares to be included in the Registration Statement shall be reduced to an
amount which, in the judgment of the managing underwriter, would eliminate such
Material Adverse Effect or (ii) if no such reduction would, in the judgment of
the managing underwriter, eliminate such Material Adverse Effect, then the
Company shall have the right to exclude all such Registrable Shares from such
registration statement provided no other securities of such type are included
and offered for the account of any other person in such Registration Statement.
Any partial reduction in number of Registrable Shares to be included in the
Registration Statement pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be effected pro rata based on the ratio which such Holder's
requested shares bears to the total number of shares requested to be included in
such Registration Statement by all persons who have requested that their shares
be included in such Registration Statement. If the Registrable Shares requested
to be included in the Registration Statement pursuant to a registration effected
pursuant to Paragraph V.C.2. are of the same type as the securities being
registered by the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company that
the inclusion of such Registrable Shares would cause a Material Adverse Effect,
the Company will be obligated to include in such Registration Statement, as to
each Holder, only a portion of the shares such Holder has requested to be
registered equal to the ratio which such Holder's requested shares bears to the
total number of shares requested to be included in such registration statement
by all persons (other than (i) the Company, if such registration has been
initiated by the Company for securities to be offered by the Company and (ii) by
persons exercising their right to cause a Demand Registration) who have
requested that their shares be included in such Registration Statement. It is
acknowledged by the Holder, that pursuant to the foregoing provision, the
securities to be included in such registration shall be allocated (x) first, to
the Company, if such registration has been initiated by the Company for
securities to be offered by the Company, (y) second, to securities offered by
persons exercising their right to cause a Demand Registration, if such
registration is a Demand Registration and (z) third, to the Holder and all other
persons requesting securities to be included therein in accordance with the
above described ratio. If as a result of the provisions of this Paragraph V.C.5.
any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Securities in a
registration that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may
withdraw such Holder's request to include Registrable Shares in such
Registration Statement. As used herein, the term "Demand Registration" shall
mean a registration of Common Stock under the Act requested by a person pursuant
to a contractual right of such person to demand that the Company initiate such a
registration. This Paragraph V.C.5. does not apply to a registration effected
pursuant to Paragraph V.C.1.
D. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the
provisions of this Warrant to effect the registration of any of the Registrable
Shares under the Act, the Company shall:
1. File with the Commission a Registration Statement with
respect to such Registrable Shares and cause that Registration Statement to
become and remain effective;
2. As soon as reasonably practicable prepare and file with
the Commission any amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and
the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep the Registration Statement effective until 180 days from the effective
date;
3. As soon as reasonably practicable furnish to the Selling
Holders such reasonable numbers of copies of the prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such
other documents as the Selling Holders may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares owned
by the Selling Holders;
4. As soon as reasonably practicable register or qualify the
Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or
Blue Sky laws of such states as any Selling Holder shall reasonably request, and
do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to
enable the Selling Holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition in
such states of the Registrable Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required in connection with this Paragraph V.D.4. to qualify as a foreign
corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction; and
5. Obtain a comfort letter from the Company's independent
public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type
customarily covered by comfort letters and an opinion from the Company's counsel
in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered in
public issuances of securities, in each case addressed to the Selling Holders.
If the Company has delivered a preliminary or final prospectus to the
Selling Holders and after having done so the prospectus is amended to comply
with the requirements of the Act, the Company shall promptly notify the Selling
Holders and, if requested, the Selling Holders shall immediately cease making
offers of Registrable Shares and return all prospectuses to the Company. The
Company shall promptly provide the Selling Holders revised prospectuses and,
following receipt of the revised prospectuses, the Selling Holders shall be free
to resume making offers of the Registrable Shares.
E. Allocation of Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses
of all registrations under this Warrant. For purposes of this Warrant, the term
"Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in
complying with this Paragraph V., including without limitation, all registration
and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, the fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and the fees and disbursements of one
counsel selected by all of the Selling Holders, the fees and disbursements of
the Company's accountants, state Blue Sky fees and expenses, and the expense of
any special audits incident to or required by any such registration, but
excluding underwriting discounts, selling commissions and the fees and expenses
of the Selling Holders' own counsel (other than the counsel selected to
represent all of the Selling Holders).
F. Indemnification.
1. In the event of any registration of any of the
Registrable Shares under the Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each of the Selling Holders, each of its directors,
officers or partners and each other person, if any, who controls such seller
within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such seller or controlling
person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act, Blue Sky laws or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement
under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Act, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration
Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;
and the Company will reimburse such seller and each such controlling person for
any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such seller or
controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage or liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage
or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission
made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or
any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Company, in writing, by or on behalf of a Selling
Holder or controlling person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
2. In the event of any registration of any of the Holder's
Registrable Shares under the Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Selling Holder
will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act
or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, to which the Company, such directors and officers or controlling
persons may become subject under the Act, Exchange Act, Blue Sky laws or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement
under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Act, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration
Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or
arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading,
if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of a Selling
Holder, specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such
Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided, however,
that the obligations of the Selling Holder hereunder shall be limited to an
amount equal to the proceeds realized by such Selling Holder from the
Registrable Shares sold as contemplated herein.
3. Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Paragraph (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to
provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be
sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any
such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation,
shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld); and, provided, further than the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Paragraph. The Indemnified
Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense; provided,
however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if representation of
such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
litigation, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or
settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party.
G. Information by Holder. The Selling Holders shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding the Selling Holders and the distribution proposed by
the Selling Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be
required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance
referred to in this Paragraph.
H. Time. If a request for registration is made pursuant to Paragraph V.B.,
and if for any reason (including because of a postponement by the Company
pursuant to paragraph V.B.5., but excluding because of a default by the Selling
Holders with respect to any obligation of theirs hereunder pertaining such
registration) a Registration Statement is not effective with respect to such
Registrable Shares within 120 days after the request for registration is made,
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant shall be increased,
and the Exercise Price shall be reduced, as provided in Paragraph IV. as if the
Company on the 121st day after the request for registration declared and paid a
dividend upon the Common Stock of 4/10ths of one share of Common Stock for each
share of Common Stock then outstanding.
I. Suspension of Dispositions. Each Selling Holder agrees that, upon
receive of any notice (a "Suspension Notice") from the Company of the happening
of any event which makes any statement made in a registration statement or
related prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any changes in such
registration statement, prospectus or documents so that they will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Shares until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus, or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the
Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies
of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in
the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to
the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the
time of receipt of such notice. The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to remedy
the Advice as promptly as practicable.
VI. LOST STOLEN, DESTROYED OR MUTILATED WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) to it of the
ownership of and the loss, theft or destruction or mutilation of the Warrant,
and (in the case or loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory (in
the exercise of reasonable discretion) to it, and (in the case of mutilation)
upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue and deliver,
in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
VII. RESTRICTIONS. TRANSFER AND TRANSFER
A. Owner of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the person in
whose name this Warrant is registered as the Holder and owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone
other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer
as provided below.
B. Transfer of Warrant. The Company agrees to maintain at its then
principal place of business books for the registration of and the registration
of transfers of the Warrant, and, subject to the provisions of subsections C and
D below, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in
part, on said books at said office, upon surrender of this Warrant at said
office, together with a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the
Holder hereof or its duly authorized agent or attorney and funds sufficient to
pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such
surrender and payment the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled.
C. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither this Warrant nor the shares of
Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 or any other securities laws (the "Acts"). Therefore, in
order, among other things, to insure compliance with the Acts, notwithstanding
anything else in the Warrant to the contrary, the Holder of this Warrant,
including any successive Holder, agrees by accepting this Warrant as follows:
This Warrant and the shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon the
exercise hereof, may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the
absence of (i) an effective registration statement or post-effective amendment
thereto for such Warrant, or shares of Common Stock of the Company,
respectively, under the Acts, or (ii) an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under such Acts.
In no event may this Warrant be transferred to any person who is not an
accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under
the Act.
D. Legend on Shares. Each certificate for shares of Common Stock
initially issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise
such Shares are registered under the Acts, shall bear the following legend (and
any additional legend required under said acts or otherwise):
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state
securities acts (the "Acts") and cannot be transferred except
(i) pursuant to a registration statement effective under the
Acts, or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Acts."
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Acts of
the securities represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the
opinion of such counsel as shall be approved by the Company, the securities
represented thereby need no longer be subject to the transfer restrictions
contained in this Warrant. The transfer and transfer restriction provisions of
this Warrant shall be binding upon all subsequent Holders of the Warrant.
VIII. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants that during the Exercise
Period it will reserve from its authorized and unissued common stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the delivery of stock pursuant to the
exercise of this Warrant.
IX. MISCELLANEOUS. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any rights of a
stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, any right to vote or
to consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of the Company; provided,
however, that this Paragraph is subject to Paragraph VI.
X. HEADINGS. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference
only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

CONSENT TO SENIOR LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Consent (the "Consent") is entered into this 28th day of April,
1998 by Positron Corporation, a Texas corporation ("Borrower") and Uro-Tech
Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Lender").
RECITALS
A. Lender and Borrower entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
dated as of November 14,1995 and Promissory Note (the "Note") of even date
therewith in the original principal amount of $1,000,000.00 executed by Borrower
and payable to the order of Lender (together with certain addenda and other
instruments, documents or agreements entered into in connection therewith and
any extensions, amendments replacements or modifications to any of the foregoing
being referred to as the "Loan Documents") pursuant to which Lender agreed to
extend Loans and financial accommodations to the Borrower.
B. The Parties mutually agree that it is in their mutual interest to
modify certain terms of the Note and Loan Documents to enable Borrower to
obtain additional financing and other support from Imatron Inc., a New Jersey
corporation ("Imatron").
C. Any and all initially capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Documents unless specifically defined
herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and promises contained herein the parties hereto do hereby agree as
follows:
1. Lender hereby consents to the following actions:
(a) Borrower is authorized to issue and sell to Imatron shares
of the Borrower's common stock, $0.01 par value, for $100.00, pursuant to that
certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and between Borrower and Imatron dated April
____, 1998.
(b) Borrower is authorized to borrow $500,000.00 from Imatron
(the "Imatron Loan") upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Board of
Directors of the Borrower.
(c) In connection with the Imatron Loan, the Borrower may
grant to Imatron a lien on all the personal property of the Borrower, which lien
is senior to Lender's lien on such property, and Lender agrees to subordinate
its interest in Borrower's property pursuant to a Subordination Agreement in the
form as that attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2. Borrower acknowledges that certain Events of Default have occurred
(the "Prior Defaults") and are continuing as of the date of this Agreement. In
order to allow
the Borrower to consummate the Imatron Loan, the Lender agrees to waive
all Prior Defaults and not to pursue any remedies available under the Loan
Documents as a result of the Prior Defaults. The waiver of the Prior Defaults
and Lender's agreement not to pursue its remedies with respect to Prior Defaults
shall in no way be construed as a waiver or impairment of the Lender's interests
and right under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, Lender's
right to exercise any rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents with
respect to Events of Default occurring at any time or from time to time after
the date of this Agreement, and such rights shall be cumulative and not
exclusive.
3. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement shall not
impair, limit, restrict or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower to
Lender under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby acknowledges, agrees and
represents that (a) Borrower is indebted to Lender pursuant to the terms of the
Note as modified hereby and Borrower agrees that the Loan Documents are valid
and binding and are in full force and effect according to their terms and
conditions; (b) except as modified or deemed to be modified by the Subordination
Agreement attached hereto, the Liens, security interests and assignments created
and evidenced by the Loan Documents are, respectively, valid and subsisting
liens, security interests and assignments of the respective dignity and priority
recited in the Loan Documents; (c) Borrower has no claims, offsets, defenses or
counterclaims against Lender whether arising under the Loan Documents or
otherwise; and (d) Lender is not in default and no event has occurred which,
with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default
by Lender of Lender's obligations under the Security Documents.
4. Lender and Borrower agree that, except as modified herein and in
the Subordination Agreement, all of the terms and conditions of the Loan
Documents are hereby ratified and reaffirmed.
5. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be binding
upon Lender until Borrower's satisfaction or fulfillment of the following
matters:
(a) Borrower's delivery to Lender and to Imatron of a
certificate of an officer of Borrower certifying that attached thereto is a true
and correct copy of resolutions of the Board of Directors of Borrower
authorizing the execution of this Agreement and of the Subordination Agreement;
(b) Borrower's delivery to Lender and to Imatron of a duly
executed Subordination Agreement;

in favor of the Senior Debt.

extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower and Subordinated Creditor each
hereby further waives: presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice
of default or dishonor, notice of payment or nonpayment and any and all other
notices and demands of any kind in connection with all negotiable instruments
evidencing all or any portion of the Senior Debt; the right to require Senior
Creditor to marshal any Collateral or security, or to enforce any Lien that
Senior Creditor may now or hereafter have in any Collateral securing the Senior
Debt or to pursue any claim it may have against any guarantor of the Senior
Debt, as a condition to Senior Creditor's entitlement to receive any payment on
account of the Senior Debt; notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by Senior
Creditor; and notice of any credit made available to Borrower, extensions of
time granted, amendments to the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement or the
other Senior Creditor Loan Documents, or other action taken in reliance hereon.

without in any manner impairing, releasing or otherwise affecting the

hereunder and without prior notice to or the consent of Subordinated Creditor:

decline or neglect to perfect Senior Creditor's Lien upon any of the Collateral;
add or release any Person primarily or secondarily liable from any of the Senior
Debt; amend or modify any of the Senior Creditor Loan Documents or waive any
Senior Debt Default; and increase or decrease the amount of the Senior Debt or

therewith
I. Subrogation. Provided that the Senior Debt has been indefeasibly
paid and discharged and any commitment that Senior Creditor may have under the
Senior Creditor Loan Documents to make loans or extend other credit has been
terminated or expired, the holders of Subordinated Debt shall be subrogated
(without any representation by or recourse to Senior Creditor) to the rights of
Senior Creditor to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or
securities payable or distributable on account of the Senior Debt, to the extent
that the Senior Creditor would be entitled to have such payments and
distributions paid over to or for its benefit; an for the purpose of such
subrogation, no payment or distribution to Senior Creditor of any cash, property
or securities to which the holders of Subordinated Debt would otherwise be
entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement, and no payment pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement to Senior Creditor by the holders o
Subordinated Debt, shall, as between Borrower and its creditors other than
Senior Creditor and the holders of Subordinated Debt, be deemed to be a payment
by Borrower to or on account of any Subordinated Debt, it being understood that
the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of Senior Creditor, on the one hand, and the holder of
Subordinated Debt, on the other. In no event, however, shall any holder of
Subordinated Debt have any rights or claims against Senior Creditor for any
impairment of Subordinated Creditor's subrogation rights that might result from
Senior Creditor's release of any Lien upon any Collateral, forgiveness,
compromise, extension or discharge of any Senior Debt, release of Borrower, or
vote to accept or reject any Plan.
J. Statement of Account. Subordinated Creditor agrees to render to
Senior Creditor from time to time upon Senior Creditor's request therefor a
statement of Borrower's account with Subordinated Creditor and Borrower agrees
to afford Senior Creditor access to the books and records of Borrower in order
that Senior Creditor may make a full examination of the state of accounts of
Borrower with Subordinated Creditor.
K. Validity of Subordinated Debt. The provisions of this Agreement
subordinating the Subordinated Debt to the Senior Debt are solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of Senior Creditor and Subordinated
Creditor and shall not impair, as between Subordinated Creditor and Borrower,
the obligation of Borrower, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the
Subordinated Debt in accordance with its terms except as payment thereof may be
postponed in accordance with this Agreement.
L. Indulgences Not Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the
part of Senior Creditor to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or give rise to an estoppel, nor be
construed as an agreement to modify the terms of this Agreement, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect
to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or
privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver by a party hereunder
shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party snaking such
waiver, and then only to the extent specifically stated in such writing.
M. Duration. This Agreement shall become effective when executed by
Borrower and Subordinated Creditor and accepted by Senior Creditor in So. San
Francisco, CA and, when so accepted, shall constitute a continuing agreement of
subordination, and shall remain in effect until all of the Senior Debt has been
paid in full in immediately available funds. Senior Creditor may, without notice
to Subordinated Creditor, extend or continue credit and make other financial
accommodations to or for the account of Borrower in reliance upon this
Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any Senior Debt is
rescinded or otherwise must be returned by Senior Creditor, all as if any such
payment had not been made.
N. Default and Enforcement. If at any time any holder of Subordinated
Debt fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement that is applicable to
such holder, Senior Creditor may demand specific performance of this Agreement,
whether or not Borrower itself has complied with the terms hereof, and may
exercise any other remedy available at law or equity. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if any holder of Subordinated Debt, in violation of
this Agreement, shall institute or participate in any action, suit or proceeding
against Borrower, then Borrower may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea this
Agreement and Senior Creditor is irrevocably authorized to intervene and to
interpose such defense or plea in its or Borrower's name. If any holder of
Subordinated Debt attempts to assert or enforce any Lien with respect to any
Collateral in violation of this Agreement, Borrower or Senior Creditor (in
Borrower's or Senior Creditors name) may by virtue of this Agreement restrain
such enforcement.
O. Litigation; Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower, Senior Creditor,
Subordinated Creditor and each other holder of Subordinated Debt each hereby
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
California and of any federal court located in the State of California, in
connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement. In any such litigation, Borrower, Subordinated Creditor, each other
holder of Subordinated Debt and Senior Creditor each hereby waives personal
service of any summons, complaint or other process, and agrees that the service
thereof may be made by certified mail direct to Borrower, Subordinated Creditor
and Senior Creditor at then respective places of business set forth in Section
16 hereof, and, in the case of any other holder of Subordinated Debt, at the
last known address for such holder. Within 30 days after such mailing, the party
so served shall appear and answer to such summons, complaint or other process.
Should the party so served fail to appear or answer within said 30-day period,
then such party failing to appear or answer shall be deemed in default and
judgment may be entered against such party for the amount or other relief as
demanded in any summons, complaint or other process so served. In the
alternative, in its sole discretion, any party may effect service upon any other
party in any other form or mariner permitted by applicable law. The choice of
forum set forth herein shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any
judgment obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement
to enforce the same in any appropriate jurisdiction, or the commencement by
Senior Creditor or Subordinated Creditor, in its sole discretion, of any action
or suit in any jurisdiction where any Collateral may be found to repossess or
foreclose upon any such Collateral.
P. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or

17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and expresses the
entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
inducements or conditions, whether express or implied, oral or written Neither
this Agreement nor any portion ox provision hereof may be changed, waived or
amended orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by
Senior Creditor, Borrower and Subordinated Creditor.

execute and deliver to Senior Creditor such further instruments and shall take
such further action as Senior Creditor may reasonably request from tune to time
in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.
19. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of Senior Creditor, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon both
Borrower and Subordinated Creditor and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, however, that neither Subordinated Creditor nor any subsequent holder
of any Subordinated Debt shall assign or transfer to any Person any part of the
Subordinated Debt.
20. Defects Waived. This Agreement is effective notwithstanding any
defect in the validity or enforceability of any instrument or document at any

held invalid or unenforceable, it is the intent of the parties that such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision hereof, and that this Agreement shall be construed as if
such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
23. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties to this Agreement on separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but
all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature
delivered by a party by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be an original
signature hereto.
24. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION
WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED
BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND
FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT
THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE,
TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING
IN-CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED
WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS HEREUNDER.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
