	2.2
	Acceptance of Accounts Receivable. Bank is not obligated to finance any accounts receivable. Bank may approve any Account Debtor's
credit before buying any receivable. When Bank accepts a receivable, it will pay Borrower the Advance Rate times the face amount of the receivable (the "Advance"). Bank may, in its reasonable
discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate. When Bank makes an Advance, the receivable becomes a "Financed Receivable." All representations and warranties in Section 6 must be true
as of the date of the Invoice Transmittal and of the Advance and no Event of Default exists would occur as a result of the Advance. The aggregate amount of all Financed Receivables outstanding at any
time may not exceed the Facility Amount.

	Temporary Advance Limit. Until such time as Bank shall have received, reviewed and approved all such restated financial statements as
Bank may require, the aggregate amount of all Advances shall not exceed $2,400,000 (the "Temporary Advance Limit"). In the event the aggregate amount of all Advances exceeds the Temporary Advance
Limit, Borrower must immediately pay in cash to Bank the excess. 

        3.     Collections, Finance Charges, Remittances and Fees. The Obligations shall be subject to the following fees and Finance
Charges. Fees and Finance Charges may, in Bank's discretion, be charged as an Advance, and shall thereafter accrue fees and Finance Charges as described below. Bank may, in its discretion, charge fee
and Finance Charges to Borrowers deposit account maintained with Bank. 

	3.1
	Collections. Collections will be credited to the Financed Receivables Balance, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply
Collections to the Obligation in any order it chooses. If Bank receives a payment for both Financed Receivable and a non Financed Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable
and, if there is not an Event of Default, the excess will be remitted to the Borrower, subject to Section 3.10.

	3.2
	Finance Charges. In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on
account of the Obligations            Business Days after receipt of the Collections. Borrower will pay a finance charge (the "Finance Charge") of the Applicable Rate times the number
of days in the Reconciliation Period times the outstanding average daily Financed Receivable Balance for that Reconciliation Period. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at
5 percent above the Applicable Rate effective immediately before the Event of Default.

	3.3
	Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of $80,000.00 is due upon execution of this Agreement, and
annually thereafter upon each renewal and extension of this Agreement

	3.4

Silicon Valley Bank.

	3.6
	Accounting. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide an accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period,
including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges and the Collateral Handling Fee. If Borrower does not object to the accounting in writing within
30 days it is considered correct. All Finance Charges and other interest and fees calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.

	3.7
	Deductions. Bank may deduct fees, finance charges and other amounts due from any Advances made or Collections received by Bank.

	3.8
	Good Faith Deposit. Borrower has paid to Bank a Good Faith Deposit of $10,000.00 to initiate Banks due diligence review process. Any
portion of the deposit not utilized to pay expenses will be applied to the Facility Fee.

	3.9
	Account Collection Services. All Borrowers' receivables are to be paid to the same address/or party and Borrower and Bank must agree on
such address. If Bank collects all receivables and there is not an Event of Default or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within five
(5) days of receipt ot those collections, Bank will give Borrower, the receivables collections it receives for receivables other than Financed Receivables and/or amount
in excess of the amount for which Bank has made an Advance to Borrower, less any amount due to Bank, such as the Finance Charge, Administrative Fee, Collateral Handling Fee and expenses or otherwise.
This Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to do any act other than to turn over amounts. All receivables and collections are Collateral and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank
need not remit collections of Collateral and may apply them to the Obligations.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT  

        This Intellectual Property Security Agreement (this "IP Agreement") is made as of the Effective Date by and between Fischer Imaging Corporation, a  Delaware corporation ("Grantor"), and Silicon Valley Bank, a California banking corporation ("Bank"). 

RECITALS  

        A.
Bank will make advances to Grantor ("Advances") as described in the Accounts Receivable Financing Agreement (the "Financing Agreement"), but only if Grantor grants Bank a security
interest in its Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents, and Mask Works. Defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Financing Agreement 

        B.
Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, Grantor has granted to Bank a security interest in all of Grantor's right title and interest, whether presently existing or hereafter
acquired in, to and under all of the Collateral. 

        NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged and intending to be legally bound, as
collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due of Grantor's Indebtedness under the Financing Agreement, Grantor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows: 

        1.     Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of all of Grantor's
present or future Indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to Bank, Grantor hereby grants a security interest in all of Grantor's right, title and interest in, to and under its Intellectual Property
Collateral (all of which shall collectively be called the "Intellectual Property Collateral"), including, without limitation, the following: 

        (a)   Any
and all copyright rights, copyright applications, copyright registrations and like protections in each work or authorship and derivative work thereof, whether
published or unpublished and whether or not the same also constitutes a trade secret, now or hereafter existing, created, acquired or held, including without limitation those set forth on  Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the "Copyrights"); 

        (b)   Any
and all trade secrets, and any and all intellectual property rights in computer software and computer software products now or hereafter existing, created, acquired
or held; 

        (c)   Any
and all design rights which may be available to Grantor now or hereafter existing, created, acquired or held; 

        (d)   All
patents, patent applications and like protections including, without limitation, improvements, divisions, continuations, renewals, reissues, extensions and
continuations-in-part of the same, including without limitation the patents and patent applications set forth on  Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the "Patents"); 

        (e)   Any
trademark and servicemark rights, whether registered or not, applications to register and registrations of the same and like protections, and the entire goodwill of
the business of Grantor
connected with and symbolized by such trademarks, including without limitation those set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto (collectively, the
"Trademarks") 

        (f)    All
mask works or similar rights available for the protection of semiconductor chips, now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation those set forth on  Exhibit D attached hereto
(collectively, the "Mask Works"); 

2

 

        (g)   Any
and all claims for damages by way of past, present and future infringements of any of the rights included above, with the right, but not the obligation, to sue for
and collect such damages for said use or infringement of the intellectual property rights identified above; 

        (h)   All
licenses or other rights to use any of the Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, or Mask Works and all license fees and royalties arising from such use to the extent
permitted by such license or rights; and 

        (i)    All
amendments, extensions, renewals and extensions of any of the Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents, or Mask Works; and 

        (j)    All
proceeds and products of the foregoing, including without limitation all payments under insurance or any indemnity or warranty payable in respect of any of the
foregoing. 

        2.     Authorization and Request. Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of Copyrights and the Commissioner of Patents
and Trademarks record this IP Agreement. 

        3.     Covenants and Warranties. Grantor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows: 

        (a)   Grantor
is now the sole owner of the Intellectual Property Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Grantor to its customers in the ordinary
course of business. 

        (b)   Performance
of this IP Agreement does not conflict with or result in a breach of any IP Agreement to which Grantor is bound, except to the extent that certain
intellectual property agreements prohibit
the assignment of the rights thereunder to a third party without the licenser's or other party's consent and this IP Agreement constitutes a security interest. 

        (c)   During
the term of this IP Agreement, Grantor will not transfer or otherwise encumber any interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral, except for
non-exclusive licenses granted by Grantor in the ordinary course of business or as set forth in this IP Agreement 

        (d)   To
its knowledge, each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or
in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the rights of any third party; 

        (e)   Grantor
shall promptly advise Bank of any material adverse change in the composition of the Collateral, including but not limited to any subsequent ownership right of
the Grantor in or to any Trademark, Patent, Copyright, or Mask Work specified in this IP Agreement, 

        (f)    Grantor
shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and Mask Works, (ii) use its best
efforts to detect infringements of the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and Mask Works and promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements detected and (iii) not allow any Trademarks,
Patents, Copyrights, or Mask Works to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless Grantor determines that
reasonable business practices suggest that abandonment is appropriate. 

        (g)   Grantor
shall promptly register the most recent version of any of Grantor's Copyrights, if not so already registered, and shall, from time to time, execute and file such
other instruments, and take such further actions as Bank may reasonably request from time to time to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank's interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral; 

        (h)   This
IP Agreement creates, and in the case of after acquired Intellectual Property Collateral, this IP Agreement will create at the time Grantor first has rights in such
after acquired Intellectual Property Collateral, in favor of Bank a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral in the United States securing the
payment and 

3

 

performance
of the obligations evidenced by the Note and the Financing Agreement upon making the flings referred to in clause (i) below; 

        (i)    To
its knowledge, except for, and upon, the filing with the United States Patent and Trademark office with respect to the Patents and Trademarks and the Register of
Copyrights with respect to the Copyrights and Mask Works necessary to perfect the security interests created hereunder and except as has been already made or obtained, no authorization, approval or
other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any U.S. governmental authority of U.S. regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant by Grantor of the security interest granted hereby
or for the execution, delivery or performance of this IP Agreement by Grantor in the U.S. or (ii) for the perfection in the United States or the exercise by Bank of its rights and remedies
thereunder; 

        (j)    All
information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to Bank by or on behalf of Grantor with respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral is accurate and complete
in all material respects. 

        (k)   Grantor
shall not enter into any agreement that would materially impair or conflict with Grantor's obligations hereunder without Bank's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Grantor shall not permit the inclusion in any material contract to which it becomes a party of any provisions that could or might in any way prevent the
creation of a security interest in Grantor's rights and interest in any property included within the definition of the Intellectual property Collateral acquired under such contracts, except that
certain contracts may contain anti-assignment provisions that could in effect prohibit the creation of a security interest in such contracts. 

        (l)    Upon
any executive officer of Grantor obtaining actual knowledge thereof, Grantor will promptly notify Bank in writing of any event that materially adversely affects the
value of any material Intellectual Property Collateral, the ability of Grantor to dispose of any material Intellectual Property Collateral of the rights and remedies of Bank in relation thereto,
including the levy of any legal process against any of the Intellectual Property Collateral. 

        4.     Bank's Rights. Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take, at Grantor's sole expense, any actions that
Grantor is required under this IP Agreement to take but which Grantor fails to take, after fifteen (15) days' notice to Grantor. Grantor shall reimburse and indemnify Bank for all reasonable
costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the reasonable exercise of its rights under this Section 4. 

        5.     Inspection Rights. Grantor hereby grants to Bank and its employees, representatives and agents the right to visit, during
reasonable hours upon prior reasonable written notice to Grantor, and any of Grantor's plants and facilities that manufacture, install or store products (or that have done so during the prior
six-month period) that are sold utilizing any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, and to inspect the products and quality control records relating thereto upon reasonable written
notice to Grantor and as often as may be reasonably requested, but not more than one (1) in every six (6) months; provided, however, nothing herein shall entitle Bank access to Grantor's
trade secrets and other proprietary information. 

        6.     Further Assurances; Attorney in Fact. 

        (a)   On
a continuing basis, Grantor will, subject to any prior licenses, encumbrances and restrictions and prospective licenses, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and
file and record in the proper filing and recording places in the United States, all such instruments, including appropriate financing and continuation statements and collateral agreements and filings
with the United States Patent and Trademarks Office and the Register of Copyrights, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as requested by Bank, to perfect
Bank's security interest in all Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, and Mask Works and otherwise to 

4

 

carry
out the intent and purposes of this IP Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Bank the grant or perfection of a security interest in all Intellectual Property Collateral. 

        (b)   Grantor
hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of
Grantor, Bank or otherwise, from time to time in Bank's discretion, upon Grantor's failure or inability to do so, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Bank may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this IP Agreement, including: 

          (i)  To
modify, in its sole discretion, this IP Agreement without first obtaining Grantor's approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibit A,
Exhibit B, Exhibit C, and Exhibit D hereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or Mask Works acquired by
Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, or Mask Works in which Grantor no longer has or claims any right,
title or interest, and 

         (ii)  To
file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral
without the signature of Grantor where permitted by law. 

        7.     Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this IP Agreement 

        (a)   An
Event of Default occurs under the Financing Agreement, or 

        (b)   Grantor
breaches any warranty or agreement made by Grantor in this IP Agreement 

        8.     Remedies. Upon the occurrence and Continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right to exercise all the
remedies of a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right to require Grantor to assemble the Intellectual Property Collateral and any tangible
property in which Bank has a security interest and to make it available to Bank at a place designated by Bank. Bank shall have a nonexclusive, royalty free license to use the Copyrights, Patents,
Trademarks, and Mask Works to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Bank to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default Grantor will pay any expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Bank in connection with the exercise of any of Bank's rights hereunder, including without limitation any expense incurred in disposing of the Intellectual
Property Collateral. All of Bank's rights and remedies with respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral shall be cumulative. 

        9.     Indemnity. Grantor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against
(a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this IP Agreement, and (b) all losses or
expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to transactions between Bank and Grantor, whether under this IP
Agreement or otherwise (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

        10.   Reassignment At such time as Grantor shall completely satisfy all of the obligations secured hereunder, Bank shall
execute and deliver to Grantor all deed, assignments, and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to reinvest in Grantor full title to the property assigned hereunder, subject to any
disposition thereof which may have been made by Bank pursuant hereto. 

        11.   Course of Dealing. No course of dealing, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. 

5

 

        12.   Attorneys' Fees. If any action relating to this IP Agreement is brought by either party hereto against the other party,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements. 

        13.   Amendments. This IP Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto. 

        14.   Counterparts. This IP Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. 

        15.   Law and Jurisdiction. This IP Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
California, without regard for choice of law provisions. Grantor and Bank consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any State or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California 

        16.   Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises
with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any nonpublic information thereby received or received pursuant to this IP Agreement except that
the disclosure of this information may be made (i) to the affiliates of the Bank, (ii) to prospective transferee or purchasers of an interest in the obligations secured hereby, provided
that they have entered into comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Grantor and have deliver a copy to Grantor, (iii) as required by law, regulation, rule or order, subpoena judicial
order or similar order and (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank.

        (1)   Item

        C.    Waiver of Financial Covenant Default.    

        (1)   Bank
hereby waives Borrower's existing default under the Accounts Receivable Financing Agreement by virtue of Borrower's failure to comply with the Tangible Net Worth

2003, Borrower shall be in compliance with this covenant, as amended herein. 

        Bank's
agreement to waive the above-described default (1) in no way shall be deemed an agreement by the Bank to waive Borrower's compliance with the above-described covenant as of
all other dates and (2) shall not limit or impair the Bank's right to demand strict performance of this covenant as of all other dates and (3) shall not limit or impair the Bank's right
to demand strict performance of all other covenants as of any date. 

        3.    CONSISTENT CHANGES.    The Existing Documents are each hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes
described above. 

        4.    PAYMENT OF LINE FEE.    Borrower shall pay Bank a fee in the amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) ("Line
Fee") plus all out-of-pocket expenses. 

        5.    NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER.    Borrower agrees that, as of this date, it has no defenses against the obligations to
pay any amounts under the Indebtedness. 

        6.    CONTINUING VALIDITY.    Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank is
relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Accounts Receivable

Financing
Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank's agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this
Accounts Receivable Financing Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Accounts Receivable Financing Modification
Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Documents, unless the party is
expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Accounts Receivable Financing Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not
only to this Accounts Receivable Financing Modification Agreement, but also to any subsequent Accounts Receivable Financing modification agreements. 

        7.    CONDITIONS.    The effectiveness of this Accounts Receivable Financing Modification Agreement is conditioned
upon payment of the Line Fee. 

        8.    COUNTERSIGNATURE.    This Accounts Receivable Financing Modification Agreement shall become effective only when
executed by Borrower and Bank. 

        This
Accounts Receivable Financing Modification Agreement is executed as of the date first written above.
