of September 26, 2003, between Borrower and Lender. All capitalized terms used in this Supplement
and not otherwise defined in this Supplement have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 10 of

up to the aggregate original principal amount of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) to finance
Currently Owned Equipment and Inventory and/or the acquisition of Eligible Equipment and Inventory;
provided, however, that Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of the Commitment shall be immediately
available to the Borrower and may be used to refinance Currently Owned Equipment and Inventory
and/or future acquisitions of Eligible Equipment and Eligible Inventory and that the remaining Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000) of the Commitment shall be contingent upon Borrower providing evidence
satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has received at least Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) of
new equity funding (excluding the conversion of any debt funded prior to August 1, 2003),
subsequent to August 1, 2003, but prior to December 31, 2004; provided further, that Borrower may
elect, on or before March 31, 2004, to use up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) of the
contingent Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) of the Commitment (if and when the contingency has
been satisfied) for Currently Owned Equipment and Inventory.




          “Current Book Value” means (i) with respect to a Loan for Currently Owned Equipment and
Inventory that is funded on or before October 31, 2003, the value of any item of Eligible Equipment

2003 (the “EY Value”); and (ii) with respect to a Loan for Currently Owned Equipment and Inventory
that is funded after October 31, 2003, the value of any item of Eligible Equipment and/or Inventory
determined as the product of (a) the EY Value, multiplied by (b) a fraction in which (i) the
numerator is 36, less the number of full or partial months after October 31, 2003 in which the
Borrowing Request is made, and in which (ii) the denominator is 36 (i.e. a Loan requested in the
sixth month after October 31, 2003 will have a Current Book Value of 30/36 of the EY Value).




          “Currently Owned Equipment and Inventory” means Eligible Equipment and Eligible

following Borrower’s submission of the Borrowing Request for such Loan, plus two and 538/1000
percent (2.538%); provided, however, that in no event shall the Designated Rate for an Loan
be less than six and 538/1000 percent (6.538%).




 









 








          “Eligible Equipment” means Intravascular Ultrasound Systems, WaveMap Systems, computer
equipment, lab and shop equipment, manufacturing equipment, test equipment, office equipment and

execution of the respective Borrowing Request) and that is not the subject of a license
agreement(s) between Borrower and any Person.




          “Eligible Inventory” means Intravascular Ultrasound Systems, including Catheter Utilization
Equipment and WaveMap Systems (whether or not the same may have been Eligible Equipment), or items
approved by Lender in writing (such approval to be evidenced by Lender’ execution of the respective
Borrowing Request) which Borrower (a) has placed in the possession of a third party under a lease,
license or other use agreement, as part of Borrower’s so-called Customer Utilization Program or
otherwise, (b) holds for sale or lease to a third party or is to be furnished under a contract of
service, (c) is furnished by the Borrower to a third person under a contract of service; provided,
however, that no item of Evaluation Inventory shall be Eligible Inventory at a time when Lender’s
Collateral includes other Evaluation Inventory having an aggregate current Book Value of
$500,000.00 or more; and, provided, further, that “Eligible Inventory” shall not include any item
described herein that is utilized by Borrower in its Customer Acquisition Program.

finance Borrower’s acquisition or carrying of specific items of Eligible Equipment and/or Eligible

Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 18, 2003, as may be amended or supplemented from time to
time; provided, however, that such amendment or supplement does not increase the amount of
borrowings under such agreement, the amortization of such amounts, or otherwise materially
adversely effect Lender’s rights hereunder.




          “Permitted Lien” includes, in addition to those liens defined in the Loan and
Security Agreement, the security interest in favor of Silicon Valley Bank securing the
Permitted Indebtedness.




          “Prime Rate” means the “prime rate” of interest, as published from time to time by The
Wall Street Journal in the “Money Rates” section of its Western Edition newspaper.




          “Terminal Payment” means a payment equal to ten percent (10%) of the original principal
amount of such Loan payable upon the maturity of such Loan.

               (iv) All Eligible Equipment and Eligible Inventory financed hereunder
shall be

          (b) Sale

the Sale Item to its customer,
Borrower shall (i) replace such Sale Item with Eligible
Equipment or Eligible Inventory of a model,

month.




     2. Prepayment.
Borrower may voluntarily prepay any Loan in whole but not in part
at any time
by tendering to Lender payment in respect of such Loan (i) all accrued and unpaid Basic Interest on
such Loan as of the date of prepayment; (ii) the undiscounted Terminal Payment on such Loan, if
applicable; and (iii) an amount equal to the undiscounted, total amount of all installment payments
of principal and Basic Interest that would have accrued and been payable from the date of prepayment
through the stated Maturity Date of the Loan had it remained outstanding and been paid in accordance
with the terms of the related Note.



     3. Limitations on Other Indebtedness; Subordination of Debt to Lender. At all times after
the initial Loan is advanced and so long as any Loans remain outstanding, Borrower shall not incur
or permit to exist any Indebtedness for borrowed money, other than Permitted Indebtedness to Silicon
Valley Bank, unless such



3









 




Indebtedness is (a) approved by the Lender in its sole and reasonable discretion, and (b) the right
to payment of such Indebtedness, the priority of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) securing
the same, and the rights of the holder thereof to enforce remedies against Borrower following
default have been made subordinate to the Liens of Lender and the prior payment of the Obligations
to Lender under the Loan Documents pursuant to a written subordination agreement approved by Lender
in its sole, reasonable discretion (except that regularly scheduled payments of accrued interest on
such subordinated Indebtedness may be paid by Borrower and retained by the holder so long as no
Event of Default has occurred).




     5. Partial Releases of Silicon Valley Bank Lien. As an additional condition precedent
under Section 4.2 of the Loan and Security Agreement, on or prior to each Borrowing Date, Lender
shall be in receipt of an executed release from Silicon Valley Bank of any and all Liens on the
Collateral that is the subject of the Borrowing Request.



     6. Issuance of Warrant to Lender. As additional consideration for the making of the
Commitment, Lender shall be issued a warrant issued by Borrower (the “Warrant”) initially
exercisable for 140,000 of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Borrower’s Series B Preferred
Stock. The Warrant shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and shall be
exercisable at any time and from time to time through
December 31, 2014. Borrower acknowledges that
Lender has assigned its rights to receive the Warrant to its parent,
Venture Lending & Leasing III,
LLC; in connection therewith, Borrower shall issue the Warrant
directly to Venture Lending & Leasing
III, LLC. Upon request of Borrower, Lender shall furnish to Borrower a copy of the agreement in
which Lender assigned the Warrant to Venture Lending & Leasing III, LLC.



     7. Fee Payment. As an additional condition precedent under Section 4.1 of the Loan and
Security Agreement, on or prior to the initial Borrowing Date, Borrower shall pay Lender Seven
Thousand Dollars ($7,000.00).



     8. Delivery of Ernst & Young Valuation. As an additional condition precedent under 4.1 of
the Loan and Security Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to the Lender not less than 5 Business Days
prior to the first Borrowing Date a true copy of the Ernst & Young asset valuation report dated as
of July 18, 2003, regarding the Borrower’s Currently Owned Equipment and Inventory.



     9. Completion of Due Diligence; Payment and Disposition of Commitment Fee. As an
additional condition precedent under Section 4.1 of the Loan and Security Agreement, Lender shall
have completed to its satisfaction its due diligence review of Borrower’s business and financial
condition and prospects, and Lender’s credit committee shall have approved the Commitment. If this
condition is not satisfied, Lender shall refund to Borrower the Thirty-Five Thousand Dollar
($35,000.00) commitment fee previously paid to Lender on account of the Commitment. Lender agrees
that with respect to each Loan advanced, on the Borrowing Date
applicable to such Loan, Lender shall
credit against the payments due from Borrower on such date in respect
of such Loan an amount equal
to the product of Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) and a fraction the numerator of which
is the principal amount of such Loan and the denominator of which is Seven Million Dollars
($7,000,000.00), until the aggregate amount of such credits equals but does not exceed Thirty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00).



     10. Insurance Coverage. As an additional condition precedent to each Loan under Section 4.2 of
the Loan Agreement, on or prior to the Borrowing Date for a specific Loan, Borrower shall provide to
Lender insurance certificates or endorsements showing that all-risk casualty insurance coverage is
in effect with respect to each item of Equipment or Inventory that is provided as collateral
security for such Loan, in amounts and of the types required under Section 5.5 of the Loan and
Security Agreement. The certificate or endorsement shall name Lender
as additional loss payee with
respect to the Equipment or Inventory, and specify that coverage as to Lender shall not
be invalidated by any action of or breach of warranty by Borrower of any provision thereof pursuant
to a standard lender’s loss payable clause, include a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender,
and provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender by the underwriter or
insurance company in the event of cancellation or expiration.

     The undersigned (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of VENTURE LENDING & LEASING III,
INC., a Maryland corporation (“Lender”), at its office at 2010 North First Street, Suite 310, San
Jose, California 95131, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, in lawful
money of the United States of America,
the principal sum of
                                        
Dollars ($                                        ), with Basic Interest thereon
(except as otherwise provided herein) from the date hereof until maturity, whether scheduled or
accelerated, at a fixed rate per annum equal to [ the Prime Rate on the Business Day Lender
prepares the Note plus 2.538%, but
in no event less than 6.538%; the “Designated Rate”)
[, and a Terminal Payment in the sum of                     
[10.00% of face amount] Dollars ($                     ) payable on the Maturity Date.]



     This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to all the benefits of, a Loan
and Security Agreement dated as of September, 2003, between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan
Agreement”). Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in
the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of
this Note upon the happening of certain stated events.



     Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable as follows:



     On the Borrowing Date, Borrower shall pay (i) interest at a rate of twelve percent (13.2%) per
annum, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of this Note for the period from the
Borrowing Date through [the last day of the same
month]; and (ii) a first
(1st)
amortization installment of principal and Basic Interest at the Designated Rate in
the amount of                                         , in advance for the month of [first full month after
Borrowing Date] and (iii) a thirty-sixth (36th), amortization installment of principal and Basic Interest at the
Designated Rate in the amount of $                                          , in advance for the month of [date of last regular
amortization payment].



     Commencing on the first day of the second full month after the Borrowing Date, and continuing
on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, principal and Basic Interest at the
Designated Rate shall be payable, in
advance, in thirty-three (33) equal consecutive installments of                                                              Dollars
($                    ) each, with a 34th installment equal to the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued Basic
Interest
at the Designated Rate on                                         , 200                     . The Terminal Payment and unpaid expenses, fees, interest and
principal amount shall be due and payable on [one month
later], 200                    .]



     Any unpaid payments of principal or interest on this Note shall bear interest from their
respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a rate per annum equal to the Default
Rate. Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.



     Interest, charges and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were
used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess
of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.



 









 





     If Borrower is late in making any payment under this Note by more than five (5) Business Days,
Borrower agrees to pay a “late charge” of five percent (5%) of the installment due, but not less
than fifty dollars ($50.00) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be charged by
Lender for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent
amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of
the circumstances existing on the date of this Note and represents a fair and reasonable estimate
of the costs that will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely
payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient.
Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other
amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Note or any of the other Loan
Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.



     This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
California.
