SECTION 8.11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

SECTION 8.12. ARBITRATION.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit
to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among
them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other
agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in
any way (i) the loan and related Loan Documents which are the subject of this
Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration,
repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement,
enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location
in California selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code),
notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents
between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other
administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the
AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim
is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and
costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the
AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial
dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex
commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there
is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and
procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to
submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs
and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any
dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party
that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any
similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The
arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose
against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies
relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession;
or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive
relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the
pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a
waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to
arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of
the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which
the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single
arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of
greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy
exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three
arbitrators; provided that all three arbitrators must actively participate in
all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney
licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired judge of the state or
federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of

 

- 16 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of
the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an
issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in
determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide
(by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any
pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state
a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all
disputes in accordance with the substantive law of California and may grant any
remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the
scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any
award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs
and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator
deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable
law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for
judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not
constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to
submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such
action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in
accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters
directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later
than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the
dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or
any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator
upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s
presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is
available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute arising
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate
arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other
disputes or included in any class proceeding.

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs
and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h) Real Property Collateral; Judicial Reference. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the
dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in
part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or
security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the
arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits
that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of
California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations of the
parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such
indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any
such dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a
referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et
seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE

 

$15,000,000.00   Palo Alto, California   November 8, 2006

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned NATUS MEDICAL INCORPORATED (“Borrower”)
promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”)
at its office at 400 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto, California, 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 Fifteen
Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00), 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.

DEFINITIONS:

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after
each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth
at the place defined:

(a) “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on
which commercial banks in California are authorized or required by law to close.

(b) “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a Business Day and continuing
for one (1) month, two (2) months or three (3) months, as designated by
Borrower, during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of
this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR; provided however, that
no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a principal amount less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall
extend beyond the scheduled maturity date hereof. If any Fixed Rate Term would
end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) “LIBOR” means the rate per annum and determined pursuant to the following
formula:

 

LIBOR =      Base LIBOR       100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage   

(i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits
quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding
that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates
of interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate
Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal
to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately
equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies. Borrower
understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market
Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank
Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited
to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.

(ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
“Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve
Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve
percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate Term.

(d) “Prime Rate” means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced
within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the understanding
that the Prime Rate is one of Bank’s base rates and serves as the basis upon
which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making
reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its
announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate.

 

- 20 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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) either (i) at a
fluctuating rate per annum one-quarter percent (0.25%) below the Prime Rate in
effect from time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank
to be two percent (2.00%) above LIBOR in effect on the first day of the
applicable Fixed Rate Term. When interest is determined in relation to the Prime
Rate, each change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on
the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank. With respect to each
LIBOR selection hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal
amount, interest rate and Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto and any payments
made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic
entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be
prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.

(b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note
bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower
at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion
thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate or to LIBOR for
a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this
Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may
convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in
relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as
Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR option for
all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of
each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the
interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject
thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable Fixed
Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic
method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection,
(A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof
not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such
notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate
Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at it’s sole option
but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed
rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when
quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request
from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable
fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any
advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower
shall be deemed to have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or
the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.

(c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon
demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and
all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes
(except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign
governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future,
supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage
(without duplication), assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign
governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or
other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the extent
they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the
foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder,
any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive
and binding upon Borrower.

(d) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the
last day of each month, commencing November 30, 2006.

(e) 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 four percent (4%) above
the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

 

- 21 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
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 May 7, 2008.

(b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum
stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of
(i) James B. Hawkins or Steven J. Murphy, any one acting alone, who are
authorized to request such advance and direct the disposition of such advance
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 deposit account of Borrower, which
advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to
or for the benefit of 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 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. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the
outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in
relation to the Prime Rate, if any, and second, to the outstanding principal
balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with
such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first.

PREPAYMENT:

(a) Prime Rate. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which
bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate at any time, in any
amount and without penalty.

(b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears
interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the minimum amount
of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); provided however, that if the
outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less than said
amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal
balance thereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to
Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at
any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto by
acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a
fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from
the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures,
calculated as follows for each such month:

 

  (i) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on
the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it
remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable
thereto.

 

  (ii) Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest
which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the
remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of
prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to
the amount prepaid.

 

  (iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero,
discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.

Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank
incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is
difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or
liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment
fee and agrees that said amount represents a

 

- 22 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of
Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such
prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum
four percent (4.00%) above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed
on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed). Each change in the rate of
interest on any such past due prepayment fee shall become effective on the date
each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that
certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of November 8, 2006,
as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the
payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event
of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default”
under this Note.

MISCELLANEOUS:

(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this
Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and interest
outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of
dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if
any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately
cease and terminate. Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand
the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all
allocated costs of the holder’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the
holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s rights and/or the
collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under this Note, and
the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note,
including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether
incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or
otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any
bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding,
contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to
Borrower or any other person or entity.

(b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign
this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint
and several.

(c) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.
