This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated September 10, 2003, between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”), whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 and XENOGEN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), whose address is 860 Atlantic Avenue, Alameda, California 94501 provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

 

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.

 

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.

 

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

 

2.1 Credit Extensions.

 

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

 

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

 

(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

 

(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 noon Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account. Each Advance must be in a minimum amount of $100,000. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

 

(c) The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.

 

2.2 Overadvances.

 

If Borrower’s Obligations under Section 2.1.1 exceed the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the excess.

 

1


2.3 Interest Rate, Payments.

 

(a) Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate equal to the greater of: (i)150 basis points (1.50%) above the Prime Rate or (ii) five and one half percent (5.5%). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(b) Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on the first day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts including Account Number                              for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

 

2.4 Fees.

 

Borrower will pay:

 

(a) Loan Fee. Borrower shall pay Bank a loan fee in the amount of $60,000, fully earned on the Closing Date and payable as follows: (y) $30,000 payable on the Closing Date and (z) $30,000 payable on the earlier of: (1) the first anniversary of the Closing Date or (2) the termination of this Agreement.

 

(b) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after the date of this Agreement, are payable when due.

 

3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS

 

Bank’s obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the following conditions precedent:

 

(a) receipt by Bank of the Borrower’s resolution authorizing the transaction in form and substance satisfactory to Bank;

 

(b) receipt by Bank of the Loan Fee due on the Closing Date;

 

(c) receipt by Bank of Borrower’s insurance certificate with Lender’s loss payable endorsement reflecting Bank as loss payee;

 

(d) Intercreditor Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank by and between Bank and the lenders providing equipment financing;

 

2


(e) receipt by Bank of Borrower’s financial projections approved by Borrower’s Board of Directors; and

 

(f) receipt by Bank of all other agreement, documents and fees that Bank may require.

 

3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions.

 

Bank’s obligations to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the following:

 

(a) timely receipt of any Payment/Advance Form; and

 

(b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be materially true on the date of the Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing, or result from the Credit Extension (provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to another date shall be materially true as of such date). Each Credit Extension is Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties of Section 5 remain true.

 

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

4.1 Grant of Security Interest.

 

Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each of Borrower’s duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest granted herein does not extend to and the term “Collateral” does not include any license or contract rights to the extent (i) the granting of a security interest in it would be contrary to applicable law, or (ii) that such rights are nonassignable by their terms (but only to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 9406 of the Code) without the consent of the licensor or other party (but only to the extent such consent has not been obtained). Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other similar agreement that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Without prior notice to Bank, Borrower shall not enter into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition. Borrower shall take such steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for such licenses or contract rights to be deemed “Collateral” and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the term Collateral shall not include any property that is subject to a Lien that is otherwise permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and Bank agrees to execute any instruments

 

3


or documents necessary to release its interest in such property and to effect the foregoing. Bank agrees to terminate its security interest and any relating UCC-1 financing statements upon payment in full, in immediately available funds, of the Obligations.

 

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

 

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization.

 

Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

 

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

 

5.2 Collateral.

 

Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

 

5.3 Litigation.

 

Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers and legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

 

5.4 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.

 

All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

 

4


5.5 Solvency.

 

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

 

5.6 Regulatory Compliance.

 

Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

 

5.7 Subsidiaries.

 

Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

 

5.8 Full Disclosure.

 

No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements to Bank) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading. It being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results.

 

5


6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

 

Borrower will do all of the following:

 

6.1 Government Compliance.

 

Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations. Borrower will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

6.3 Inventory; Returns.

 

Borrower will keep all Inventory in good and marketable condition, free from material defects. Returns and allowances between Borrower and its account debtors will follow Borrower’s customary practices as they exist at execution of this Agreement.

Borrower will make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of all material federal, state, and local taxes or assessments, and will deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment; provided that Borrower or a Subsidiary need not make any payment if the amount or validity of such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and is reserved against to the extent required by GAAP.

 

6.5 Insurance.

At Bank’s request, Borrower will deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at Borrower’s option, be payable to Borrower to replace the property subject to the claim, provided that any such replacement property shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, at Bank’s option, proceeds payable under any policy will be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

 

6.6 Accounts.

 

Borrower will maintain its primary operating accounts with Bank. Additionally, Borrower agrees to transfer and maintain with Bank or Bank’s Affiliates all of its depository (other than operating accounts) and investment accounts so long as Bank’s and Bank’s Affiliates depository and investment accounts products are competitive with those offered by Borrower’s current depository institution and/or investment services provider.

 

6.7 Financial Covenants.

 

Borrower will maintain at all times:

7.3 Mergers or Acquisitions.

8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

Any one of the following is an Event of Default:

 

8.1 Payment Default.

8.2 Covenant Default.

 

If Borrower does not perform any obligation in Section 6 or violates any covenant in Section 7 or does not perform or observe any other material term, condition or covenant in this Agreement, any Loan Documents, or in any agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under a term, condition or covenant that can be cured, has not cured the default within 10 days after it occurs, or if the default cannot be cured within 10 days or cannot be cured after Borrower’s attempts within 10 day period, and the default may be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower has an additional period (of not more than 30 days) to attempt to cure the default. During the additional time, the failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);

 

8.3 Material Adverse Change.

 

If there (i) occurs a material adverse change in the business operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; or (ii) is a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Obligations; or (iii) is a material impairment of the value or priority of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral.

10


material portion of Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any of Borrower’s assets by any government agency and not paid within 15 Business Days after Borrower receives notice.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

9.1 Rights and Remedies.

 

When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

 

(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

 

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

 

(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

 

(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

 

(e) Bank may place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any control agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral.

 

(f) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

 

(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; and

 

(h) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

 

9.2 Power of Attorney.

 

Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any

 

12


Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

 

9.3 Accounts Collection.

 

When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

 

9.4 Bank Expenses.

 

If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.

 

If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

9.6 Remedies Cumulative.

 

Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

 

13


9.7 Demand Waiver.

 

Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

 

10. NOTICES

 

All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an overnight delivery service, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to the addresses set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party written notice.

THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

12.1 Successors and Assigns.

 

This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights under it without Bank’s prior written consent which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion.

12.2 Indemnification.

 

Borrower will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, except for obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses incurred, or paid by Bank from, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses and Bank Expenses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.6 Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

 

12.7 Survival.

 

All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank will survive until all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run.

 

12.8 Confidentiality.

 

In handling any confidential information, Bank will exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made (i) to Bank’s subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the loans, (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit and (v) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement.
