BORROWER WILL PAY LENDER AT LENDER'S ADDRESS SHOWN ABOVE OR AT SUCH OTHER PLACE AS LENDER MAY DESIGNATE IN WRITING. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. Subject to designation of a different interest rate index by Borrower as provided below, the interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is the rate of interest set from time to time by Bank as its Prime Rate. California Bank & Trust Prime Rate is determined by Bank as a means of pricing credit extensions to some customers and is neither tied to any external rate of interest or index nor is it necessarily the lowest rate of interest charged by Bank at any given time for any particular class of customers or credit extensions (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans and is set by Lender in its sole discretion. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. THE INDEX CURRENTLY IS 4.750%. THE INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE AT A RATE EQUAL TO THE INDEX, RESULTING IN AN INITIAL RATE OF 4.750%. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. INTEREST RATE OPTIONS. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Borrower will be able to select, from one of the following Rate Options, an interest rate which will be applicable to a particular dollar increment of amounts outstanding, or to be disbursed, under this Note.

An "Interest Period" is a one, two or three month period as selected by Borrower in a writing delivered to Lender as provided below. Interest based on this Rate Option is a floating rate and will change on and as of the date of a change in London Interbank Offered Rate (the "Interest Period"). Adjustments in the interest rate due to changes in the maximum nonusurious interest rate allowed (the "Highest Lawful Rate") shall be made on the effective day of any change in the Highest Lawful Rate. Under this Rate Option, Borrower shall make monthly interest payments on the same day of the month, with a final payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the case of an Interest Period greater than three (3) months, at three month (3 month) intervals after the first day of such Interest Period. The following provisions concerning Rate Options are a part of this Note: SELECTION OF RATE OPTIONS. Provided Borrower is not in default under this Note, Borrower may request (a "Rate Request") that a $250,000.00 increment or any amount in excess thereof (an "Increment") of the outstanding principal of, or amounts to be disbursed under, this Note bear interest at the selected rate.

Borrower's Rate Request will become effective, and interest on the increment designated will be calculated at the rate (the "Effective Rate"), which Borrower requested, for the applicable Interest Period, subject to the following: (1) Notwithstanding any Rate Request, interest shall be calculated on the basis of the Default ion if (a) Lender, in good faith, is unable to ascertain the requested Rate Option by reason of circumstances then affecting the applicable money market or otherwise, (b) it becomes unlawful or impracticable for Lender to maintain loans based upon the requested Rate Option, or (c) Lender, in good faith, determines that it is impracticable to maintain loans based on the requested Rate Option because of increased taxes, regulatory costs, reserve requirements, expenses or any other costs or charges that affect such Rate Options. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in this "Interest Rate Options" section, any increment to which a requested Rate Option applies shall be immediately (or at the option of Lender, at the end the current Interest Period), without further action of Lender or Borrower, converted to an increment to which the Default Option applies. (2) Borrower may have no more than a total of 3 Effective Rates applicable to amounts outstanding under this Note at any given time. (3) A Rate Request shall be effective as to amounts to be disbursed under this Note only if, on the effective date of the Rate Requests, such amounts are in fact disbursed to or for Borrower's account in accordance with the provisions of this Note and any related loan documents. (4) Any amounts of outstanding principal for which a Rate Request has not been made, or is otherwise not effective, shall bear interest until paid in full at the Default Option. (5) Any amounts of outstanding principal bearing interest based upon a Rate Option shall bear interest at such rate until the end of the Interest Period therefor, and thereafter shall bear interest based upon the Default Option unless a new Rate Request for a Rate Option complying with the terms hereof has been made and has become effective.

PROMISE TO PAY. INTERNATIONAL REMOTE IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. ("BORROWER") PROMISES TO PAY TO CALIFORNIA BANK & TRUST ("LENDER"), OR ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF ONE MILLION & 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) OR SO MUCH AS MAY BE OUTSTANDING, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST ON THE UNPAID OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF EACH ADVANCE. INTEREST SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF EACH ADVANCE UNTIL REPAYMENT OF EACH ADVANCE. PAYMENT. BORROWER WILL PAY THIS LOAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING PAYMENT SCHEDULE: SUBJECT TO ANY PAYMENT CHANGES RESULTING FROM CHANGES IN THE INDEX, BORROWER WILL PAY 12 CONSECUTIVE MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST, BEGINNING FEBRUARY 28, 2002 FOLLOWED BY 48 PRINCIPAL PLUS INTEREST PAYMENTS. BORROWER'S FIRST PRINCIPAL PLUS INTEREST IS DUE FEBRUARY 28, 2003, AND ALL SUBSEQUENT PRINCIPAL PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST PAYMENTS ARE DUE ON THE SAME DAY OF EACH MONTH AFTER THAT. BORROWER'S FINAL PAYMENT DUE FEBRUARY 28, 2007, WILL BE FOR ALL PRINCIPAL AND ACCRUED INTEREST NOT YET PAID. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PAYMENTS WILL BE APPLIED FIRST TO ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST, THEN TO PRINCIPAL, AND ANY REMAINING AMOUNT TO ANY UNPAID COLLECTION COSTS AND LATE CHARGES. THE ANNUAL INTEREST RATE FOR THIS NOTE IS COMPUTED ON A 365/360 BASIS; THAT IS, BY APPLYING THE RATIO OF THE ANNUAL INTEREST RATE OVER A YEAR OF 360 DAYS, MULTIPLIED BY THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE, MULTIPLIED BY THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF DAYS THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE IS OUTSTANDING. BORROWER WILL PAY LENDER AT LENDER'S ADDRESS SHOWN ABOVE OR AT SUCH OTHER PLACE AS LENDER MAY DESIGNATE IN WRITING. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. Subject to designation of a different interest rate index by Borrower as provided below, the interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is the rate of interest set from time to time by Bank as its Prime Rate. California Bank & Trust Prime Rate is determined by Bank as a means of pricing credit extensions to some customers and is neither tied to any external rate of interest or index nor is it necessarily the lowest rate of interest charged by Bank at any given time for any particular class of customers or credit extensions (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans and is set by Lender in its sole discretion. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. THE INDEX CURRENTLY IS 4.750%. THE INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS A NOTE WILL BE AT A RATE EQUAL TO THE INDEX, RESULTING IN AN INITIAL RATE OF 4.750%. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. INTEREST RATE OPTIONS. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Borrower will be able to select, from one of the following Rate Options, an interest rate which will be applicable to a particular dollar increment of amounts outstanding, or to be disbursed, under this Note. Principal shall be payable as specified herein in the "Payment" section, and interest shall be payable as specified for each Rate Option. The following Rate Options are available to Borrower: (A) DEFAULT OPTION. The interest rate margin and index described in the "VARIABLE INTEREST RATE" paragraph herein (the "Default Option"). (B) LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE. A margin of 2.000 percentage points over London Interbank Offered Rate. For purposes of this Note, low London Interbank Offered Rate shall mean the rate of interest at which deposits in U.S. Dollars for the relevant Interest Period is offered to first class banks in the London Interbank market as quoted for the mid-moving average LIBOR Rate as published by Telerate Systems, Inc. or such other publication of such rate as the holder of this Note shall reasonably select, two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of the relevant Interest Period. An "Interest Period" is a one, two or three month period as selected by Borrower in a writing delivered to Lender as provided below. Interest based on this Rate Option is a floating rate and will change on and as of the date of a change in London Interbank Offered Rate (the "Interest Period"). Adjustments in the interest rate due to changes in the maximum nonusurious interest rate allowed (the "Highest Lawful Rate") shall be made on the effective day of any change in the Highest Lawful Rate. Under this Rate Option, Borrower shall make monthly interest payments on the same day of the month, with a final payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the case of an Interest Period greater than three (3) months, at three month (3 month) intervals after the first day of such Interest Period. The following provisions concerning Rate Options are a part of this Note: SELECTION OF RATE OPTIONS. Provided Borrower is not in default under this Note, Borrower may request (a "Rate Request") that a $250,000.00 increment or any amount in excess thereof (an "Increment") of the outstanding principal of, or amounts to be disbursed under, this Note bear interest at the selected rate. Borrower may make this Rate Request by telephonic notice, however no later than 10:00 AM PDT three (3) business days prior to the effective date of the Rate Request to permit Lender to quote the rate requested.* APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE. Borrower's Rate Request will become effective, and interest on the increment designated will be calculated at the rate (the "Effective Rate"), which Borrower requested, for the applicable Interest Period, subject to the following: (1) Notwithstanding any Rate Request, interest shall be calculated on the basis of the Default Option if (a) Lender, in good faith, is unable to ascertain the requested Rate Option by reason of circumstances then affecting the applicable money market or otherwise, (b) it becomes unlawful or impracticable for Lender to maintain loans based upon the requested Rate Option, or (c) Lender, in good faith, determines that it is impracticable to maintain loans based on the requested Rate Option because of increased taxes, regulatory costs, reserve requirements, expenses or any other costs or charges that affect such Rate Options. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in this "Interest Rate Options" section, any increment to which a requested Rate Option applies shall be immediately (or at the option of Lender, at the end the current Interest Period), without further action of Lender or Borrower, converted to an increment to which the Default Option applies. (2) Borrower may have no more than a total of 3 Effective Rates applicable to amounts outstanding under this Note at any given time. (3) A Rate Request shall be effective as to amounts to be disbursed under this Note only if, on the effective date of the Rate Requests, such amounts are in fact disbursed to or for Borrower's account in accordance with the provisions of this Note and any related loan documents. (4) Any amounts of outstanding principal for which a Rate Request has not been made, or is otherwise not effective, shall bear interest until paid in full at the Default Option. (5) Any amounts of outstanding principal bearing interest based upon a Rate Option shall bear interest at such rate until the end of the PROMISSORY NOTE LOAN NO: 932900001-4 (CONTINUED) PAGE 2 ================================================================================ Interest Period therefor, and thereafter shall bear interest based upon the Default Option unless a new Rate Request for a Rate Option complying with the terms hereof has been made and has become effective. (6) If Borrower is in default under this Note ("Default"), then Lender shall no longer be obligated to honor any Rate Requests. (7) No Interest Period shall extend beyond the maturity date of this Note. NOTICES: AUTHORITY TO ACT. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the agreement of Lender herein to receive certain notices by telephone is solely for Borrower's convenience. Lender shall be entitled to rely on the authority of the person purporting to be a person authorized by Borrower to give such notice, and Lender shall have no liability to Borrower on account of any action taken by Lender in reliance upon such telephonic notice. Borrower's obligation to repay all sums owing under the Note shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by Lender to receive written confirmation of any telephonic notice or the receipt by Lender of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by Lender to be contained in the telephonic notice. PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE OF $200.00. Other than Borrower's obligation to pay any minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: California Bank & Trust, Commercial Loan Center, 550 South Hope Street, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 90071. LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 6.000% OF THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PAYMENT OR $500.00, WHICHEVER IS LESS. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon Borrower's failure to pay all amounts declared due pursuant to this section, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 5.000 percentage points over the Index. DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note: PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note. OTHER DEFAULTS. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower. DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related documents. FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter. INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower. CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS.
