WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this

Secondary Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, setting forth certain
covenants of the Stockholders with respect to certain additional Shares
beneficially owned by the Stockholders (the "Secondary Voting Agreement");

Merger Agreement, Grifols has required that the Stockholders enter into this
Agreement and the Secondary Voting Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce Grifols to enter into the Merger Agreement,
the Stockholders are willing to enter into this Agreement and the Secondary
Voting Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, Grifols and each of the Stockholders, severally and not jointly, hereby
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
TRANSFER AND VOTING OF SHARES;
OTHER COVENANTS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.1 VOTING OF SHARES. Each Stockholder agrees, at any meeting
of the stockholders of the Company and at every adjournment or postponement
thereof, however called, and in any action by consent of the stockholders of the
Company (any such meeting or action by consent, a "Stockholders' Meeting"), that
such Stockholder shall vote its Owned Shares (i) in favor of the approval and
adoption of the Merger Agreement (as amended from time to time); (ii) in favor
of any other matter reasonably determined to be necessary for consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) against any action
or agreement that would result in a breach in any material respect of any
covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation of the Company
under the Merger Agreement; and (iv) against any action or agreement that would
reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay or attempt to discourage
the Merger; and in connection with the foregoing to execute any documents which
are necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the foregoing, including
without limitation a Proxy or Proxies in favor of Grifols or its nominees to
vote such Owned Shares directly solely with respect to the matters referred to
in this Section 1.1. Except as set forth in this Agreement, each Stockholder may
vote its Owned Shares on all other matters submitted for the vote or consent of
such Stockholder.
Section 1.2 NO INCONSISTENT ARRANGEMENTS. Except as contemplated by
this Agreement, each Stockholder shall not during the term of this Agreement (i)
transfer (which term shall include, without limitation, any sale, assignment,
gift, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition), or consent to any transfer
of, any or all of such Stockholder's Owned Shares or any interest therein, or
create or permit to exist any Lien on such Owned Shares; (ii) enter into any
contract, option or other agreement or understanding with respect to any
transfer of any or all of such Owned Shares or any interest therein; (iii) grant
any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization in or with respect to such
Owned Shares; (iv) deposit such Owned Shares into a voting trust or enter into a
voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Owned Shares; or (v) take
any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the
performance of such Stockholder's obligations hereunder or the transactions
contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, each Stockholder may transfer all or any of such
Stockholder's Owned Shares to any trust, partnership or similar vehicle formed
for estate, tax or family planning purposes of which such Stockholder controls
and directs the vote, provided that as a condition of such transfer, such
Stockholder notifies Grifols and provides Grifols with documentation reasonably
satisfactory to Grifols indicating that the transferee agrees to be bound by all
of the provisions of this Agreement. Each Stockholder agrees that this Agreement
and each Stockholder's obligations hereunder shall attach to Stockholder's Owned
Shares and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or
beneficial ownership of such Owned Shares shall pass, whether by operation of
law or otherwise, including, without limitation, such Stockholder's heirs,
guardians, administrators or successors.
SECTION 1.3 IRREVOCABLE PROXY; POWER OF ATTORNEY. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each of the Stockholders hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Grifols or its designees as its attorney and proxy in
accordance with the DGCL, with full power of substitution
2
and re-substitution, to vote such Stockholder's Owned Shares at any
Stockholders' Meeting solely with respect to the matters referred to in Section
1.1 hereof. This proxy and power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest. Each Stockholder hereby revokes all other proxies and power of
attorney with respect to its Owned Shares that it may have heretofore appointed
or granted, and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be granted (and
if granted, shall not be effective) by any Stockholder with respect thereto,
other than for the sole purpose of voting Owned Shares as contemplated hereby.
Each Stockholder hereby further agrees to execute the proxy in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Proxy").
Section 1.4 STOP TRANSFER. Each Stockholder shall not request the
Company to register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or
uncertificated interest representing any of such Stockholder's Owned Shares,
unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement and acknowledges
that Grifols and the Company may notify the Company's transfer agent of the
terms hereof.
SECTION 1.5 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. From and after the date hereof and
continuing until the termination of this Agreement, each Stockholder shall not,
nor shall it permit or authorize any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents or representatives (collectively, the "Representatives") to, (i) solicit
or initiate, or encourage, directly or indirectly, any inquiries regarding or
the submission of, any Alternative Proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions
or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information or data with
respect to, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate the making of any
proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably, be expected to lead to, any
Alternative Proposal; (iii) enter into any agreement with respect to any
Alternative Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Alternative Proposal;
or (iv) take any action which would make any representation or warranty of the
Stockholder in this Agreement untrue or incorrect or prevent, burden or
materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement, each Stockholder shall, and shall
cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any existing activities,
discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect
to any of the foregoing. Each Stockholder will promptly notify Grifols of the
existence of any proposal, discussion, negotiation or inquiry received by such
Stockholder with respect to an Alternative Proposal, and each Stockholder will
promptly communicate to Grifols the terms of any such proposal, discussion,
negotiation or inquiry which it may receive (and will promptly provide to
Grifols copies of any written materials received by it in connection with such
proposal, discussion, negotiation or inquiry) and the identity of the Person
making such proposal or inquiry or engaging in such discussion or negotiation.
Nothing in this Section 1.5 shall be a limitation on any Stockholder or
Representative thereof serving as a director of the Company or as an officer of
the Company acting at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company and
in such capacity taking any action on behalf of the Company that the Company is
permitted to take under the Merger Agreement.

Agreement.

or creation of such other rights, that would not materially impair the ability
of Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or prevent the consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
4

Stockholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by Stockholder will

further force and effect (i) by the unanimous written consent of the parties

at the Effective Time; (iii) except for the transactions expressly contemplated
by the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements, in the event that Grifols or
any of its affiliates (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) shall in any
manner, directly or indirectly (A) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether
publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in or in any way
assist any other Person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or

immediately following the consummation of a transaction in respect of an
Alternative Proposal; (v) in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated
by (A) the Company and/or Grifols, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 10.1
or 10.2(c) of the Merger Agreement, (B) Grifols pursuant to Section 10.3(b) of
the Merger Agreement, or (C) the Company pursuant to Section 10.4(a) of the
Merger Agreement; or (vi) in the event clauses (i) through (v) of this Section
4.1 shall not apply, on the date nine (9) months following the date hereof. No
such termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from any
liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to its termination.
SECTION 4.2 FURTHER ASSURANCE. From time to time, at another party's
request and without further consideration, each party hereto shall execute and
deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be
reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective, in the most
expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
SECTION 4.3 NO WAIVER. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any
right, power, or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in
respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other
party hereto with its obligations hereunder, any custom or practice of the
parties at variance with the terms hereof shall not constitute a waiver by such
party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to
demand such compliance. Any party hereto may (i) extend the time for the
performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto,
(ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other
parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and
(iii) waive compliance by the other parties hereto with any of their agreements
or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to
any such extension or waiver shall be valid only as against such party and only
if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such party. The failure of
any party hereto to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise
shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
SECTION 4.4 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each Stockholder acknowledges that if
such Stockholder fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement
immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused to Grifols for which
money damages would not be an adequate remedy. In such event, each Stockholder
agrees that Grifols shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may
have, to specific performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, if Grifols should
institute an action or proceeding seeking specific enforcement of the provisions
hereof, each Stockholder hereby waives the claim or defense that Grifols has an
adequate remedy at law and hereby agrees not to assert in any such action or
proceeding the claim or defense that such a remedy at law exists. Each
Stockholder further agrees to waive any requirements for the securing or posting
of any bond in connection with obtaining any such equitable relief.
SECTION 4.5 NOTICE. All notices and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing (including facsimile or similar writing) and shall be
effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the
facsimile number specified in this Section 4.5 and the appropriate facsimile
confirmation is received or (ii) if given by any other means, when
