--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$3,000,000.00 OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA
NOVEMBER 30, 1998
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned CHOLESTECH CORPORATION ("Borrower")
promises to pay to the order of XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank")
at its office at EAST BAY RCBO, XXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXX 000, XXXXXXX, XX 00000,
or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of
the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal
sum of $3,000,000.00, or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding,
with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its
disbursement as set forth herein.
INTEREST:
(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a
rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time. The "Prime
Rate" is a base rate that Bank from time to time establishes and which serves
as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those
loans making reference thereto. Each change in the rate of interest hereunder
shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within
Bank.
(b) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable
on the last day of each month, commencing DECEMBER 31, 1998.
(c) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or
such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by
acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to 4% above the rate of
interest from time to time applicable to this Note.
(d) Collation of Payments. Borrower authorizes Bank to collect all
interest due hereunder by charging Xxxxxxxx's demand deposit account number
4187-518166 with Bank, or any other demand deposit account maintained by any
Borrower with Bank, for the full amount thereof. Should there be insufficient
funds in any such demand deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the
full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.
BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:
(a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the
term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings,
and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this
Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note;
provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall
not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal
balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced
hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made
hereon by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time
to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be
due and payable in full on NOVEMBER 30, 1999.
(b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal
sum available hereunder, may be made by the holder at the oral or written
request of (i) XXXXXX XXXXXXXX AND/OR XXXXXX XXXXXX AND/OR XXXXXXX XXXXXXX, any
one acting alone, who are authorized to request advances and direct the
disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such
authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any
person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of any account of any
Borrower with the holder, which advances, when so deposited, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of each Borrower
regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized to request
advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have
no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has
been authorized by any Borrower.
(c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be
credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding
principal balance hereof.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

Default" under this Note:

connection with this Note.

this Note or any general partner or joint venturer in any Borrower which is a

obligation for borrowed money, any purchase obligation, or any other liability
of any kind to any person or entity, including the holder.
