Agreement

Now,
Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be
legally bound, the parties hereto represent, warrant and agree as
follows:

Definitions.  Capitalized terms used herein without
definitions shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit
Agreement.

Amendment to Credit Agreement.   The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 3.1(d) -  Repayments and
Prepayments. 

The following shall be added to the end of Section 3.1(d) of the
Credit Agreement:

“Notwithstanding the
foregoing during the time period from March 12, 2003 through
September 30, 2004 (the “Waiver Period”),
and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred
during such Waiver Period, the Borrower may receive net proceeds
from the issuance of equity securities, which otherwise would
constitute Net Proceeds, in an amount up to Twenty Five Million
Dollars ($25,000,000) (the “Exempt Net
Proceeds”), and such Exempt Net Proceeds shall not be
subject, during the Waiver Period and thereafter, to the provisions
of this Section 3.1(d); provided, however, any amounts
received in excess of Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000)
during the Waiver Period shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 3.1(d).”

Amendments to Equipment Agreement.  Borrower agrees
(a) to the amendments to Statements of Work (as defined in the
Equipment Agreement) set forth in Section 3.1 below, (b)
that such amendments shall constitute Change Orders (as defined in
the Equipment Agreement) agreed to between the parties for purposes
of the Equipment Agreement, and (c) that all the provisions in the
Equipment Agreement relating to effecting Change Orders shall be
deemed to have been complied with in connection with the Change
Orders below upon the parties’ execution of this
Amendment.

The agreed-on Change Orders are as follows:

Borrower shall not charge Lender for any additional costs to
complete the PS500 Wright Medical and Guidant systems effective
January 1, 2003.  The billings dated January 24, 2003, for
December 2002 activity, shall constitute the final billings on the
procurement and installation of these systems.  These systems
shall be delivered by Borrower to Titan Scan Technologies
Corporation (“Titan Scan”) at the
expected system performance level in terms of power and utilization
(in accordance with the Statement of Work issued to Borrower),
which is for Guidant 3kW, 10 MeV, and for Wright 3kW, 5 MeV, 24
hour per day, 7 days per week operation with 95%
“up-time.” 

Billings by Borrower of the applicable Lender entity for
activity after December 31, 2002 on the demo PS500 unit in Dublin,
California shall not exceed $200,000 to finish the unit as
currently agreed under the applicable Statement of Work.  The
current agreement between the parties is for the system to
substantially operate at the same capability as the unit installed
at Wright Medical, including automated material handling and
electron beam energy of 5MeV and power at 3kW.  However, if
directed by Titan Scan through a Change Order signed by the Chief
Financial Officer of Lender (or his designate in writing),
additional work shall be billed accordingly.

There shall be no future billings by Borrower of the applicable
Lender entity for Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) on the PS500 line
effective January 1, 2003 unless new work is directed by Titan Scan
through a Change Order signed by the Chief Financial Officer of
Lender (or his designate in writing).

There shall be no future billings by Borrower of the applicable
Lender entity on the Baxter Cygnet and Baxter PI#1 systems
effective January 1, 2003.  The parties agree that these
systems were complete as of such time.

Billings by Borrower of the applicable Lender entity to complete
the production and installation of the Baxter PI#2 system shall not
exceed $24,000 after January 1, 2003.  This amount is
consistent with the estimate for project completion provided by
Borrower to Titan Scan in January 2003.

The current delivery schedules for all systems being produced by
Borrower for Titan Scan shall not change as a result of this
Amendment and the Change Orders contained herein.

Borrower shall enter into a Two Year Service Contract with
Lender and/or Titan Scan to be agreed upon by the parties to
provide technical services to installed and fielded Titan Scan
medical sterilization systems.  If an agreement on a Two Year
Service Contract is not reached, Borrower shall provide technical
services on a time and materials basis, the rate of which shall be
Borrower labor costs, plus allocation of fringe, occupancy, and
direct overhead application, plus 20% margin.  The rates shall
be renewable annually.  

Except to the extent
modified by this Amendment and the Change Orders contained herein,
all other terms of the Equipment Agreement and any Statements of
Work issued thereunder remain unchanged and in full force and
effect.

Limitation of Amendment.  Each of the amendments set
forth in Section 2 and Section 3 above shall be
limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (i) be an
amendment to or waiver of any other term or condition of the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Equipment Agreement,
(ii) prejudice any right or remedy which Lender may now have or may
have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the Equipment Agreement, or (iii) be
a consent to any future amendment, waiver or modification of any
other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the Equipment Agreement. 

Representations and Warranties.  In order to induce
Lender to enter into this  Amendment, Borrower represents and
warrants to Lender as follows:

Borrower has the power and authority to execute and deliver this
Amendment and to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement
and the Equipment Agreement, each as amended by this Amendment, and
each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

The execution and delivery by Borrower of this Amendment and the
performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Credit
Agreement and the Equipment Agreement, each as amended by this
Amendment, and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a
party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part
of Borrower; 

This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower
and is the binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
moratorium or other similar laws of general application and
equitable principles relating to or affecting creditors’
rights.

SECTION
6.  Full Force and Effect; Reaffirmation.
Except to the extent expressly provided in this Amendment, the
terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the Equipment
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  Borrower
hereby reaffirms its obligations under each of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party.

SECTION 7.  
Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by
and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the state of California.

SECTION 8.
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be
deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

	Schedules III and V to the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by deleting same in their entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the new Schedules III and V, as the case may be, as each appears as attached hereto (with such technical modifications thereto as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent and as may be required to be made on the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date to reflect changes to the Real Property or Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owned or held by the Borrower, the Grove Acquired Entities and their respective Subsidiaries after the First Amendment General Effective Date and on or prior to the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date).

	The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by inserting new Schedules XIV, XV and XVI thereto in the form of Schedules XIV, XV and XVI, respectively, attached hereto.

	Miscellaneous Provisions.

	In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:

(a)no Default or Event of Default exists as of (x) the First Amendment General Effective Date, both before and after giving effect thereto and (y) the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date, both before and after giving effect thereto; 

(b)all of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects on the First Amendment General Effective Date and the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date, both before and after giving effect to each such date (and, in the case of the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date, the consummation of the Grove Transaction on such date), with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the First Amendment General Effective Date or the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date, as the case may be (it being understood that any representation or warranty made as of a specific date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date); and 

(c)at the time of the consummation of the Grove Transaction (and immediately after giving effect thereto), the consummation of same shall not (i) contravene any provision of any material applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the material properties or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its material property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of limited partnership, limited partnership agreement or any equivalent organizational document of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

	This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

	This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

	THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

	(a) The provisions of Sections 28, 43 and 44 of Part I of this Amendment shall become effective on the date (the "First Amendment General Effective Date") when each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of facsimile transmission) the same to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office.

(b) The provisions of Sections 1 through 27, inclusive, Sections 29 through 42, inclusive, and Sections 45 and 46 of Part I of this Amendment shall become effective on the date (the "First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date") when each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

	the Lenders shall have received a copy of the detailed consolidated financial projections for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and after giving effect to the Grove Transaction, the related financings therefor and the transactions and financings contemplated by this Amendment for the five fiscal years ended after the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date (the "Updated Projections");

	the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent then due;

	the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date and signed on behalf of the Borrower by an appropriate officer of the Borrower, stating that all of the conditions in clauses (i) and (ii), inclusive, above, clauses (i) through (xvii), inclusive, of Section 1 of Part I of this Amendment and Section 6 of the Credit Agreement have been satisfied on such date; and

	the First Amendment General Effective Date shall have occurred.

Unless the Administrative Agent has received actual notice from any Lender that the conditions contained above have not been met with satisfaction, upon the satisfaction of the conditions described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence and upon the Administrative Agent's good faith determination that the other conditions described above have been met, the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date shall be deemed to have occurred, regardless of any subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been met (although the occurrence of the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date shall not release the Borrower from any liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions specified above).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Grove Transaction is not consummated on the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date, the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date shall be deemed not to have occurred and Sections 1 through 27, inclusive, Sections 29 through 42, inclusive, and Sections 45 and 46 of Part I of this Amendment shall be deemed never to have become effective, notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions specified in clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, of this Section 5.

	So long as the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date occurs, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender which has executed a counterpart hereof on or prior to 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on May 8, 2002, a consent fee equal to 1/8 of 1% of the sum of (x) its Revolving Loan Commitment as in effect on the First Amendment General Effective Date and (y) the aggregate principal amount of its Term Loans outstanding on the First Amendment General Effective Date.  All fees payable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date, which fees shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Lenders in the amounts specified in the immediately preceding sentence.

	From and after the First Amendment General Effective Date and the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date, all references in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby on the First Amendment General Effective Date or the First Amendment Acquisition Effective Date, as the case may be.
