to which Pall and Vitex agreed to combine their efforts and resources in the
development and commercialization of systems used in the inactivation of viruses
and pathogens in red blood cells and/or platelets.
WHEREAS, Pall and Vitex have concluded that it is in the best interests of the
development program to restructure the relationship of the parties by (i)
providing Vitex with a one year opportunity to add additional marketing and
distribution partners with the overall objective of promoting the worldwide
commercialization of the INACTINE red cell system, while retaining Pall's
technical and financial involvement in the program, (ii) preserving Pall's
rights to continue its marketing responsibilities in those geographic areas not
covered by new partners or, alternatively, to convert its investment in the
development program into a royalty structure combined with use of Pall products
in the INACTINE treatment process, and (iii) modifying Pall's financial
responsibility to the program during the one-year period commencing on the Date
of this Agreement consistent with the above.
WHEREAS, the board of directors of Vitex, and the board of directors of Pall

ARTICLE II
TERMINATION OF ORIGINAL AGREEMENT;
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PAYMENTS
The Original Agreement is hereby terminated and, except as expressly provided in
subparagraph (a) below, the parties shall, after the Date of this Agreement,
have no further rights, obligations, liabilities or claims thereunder, whether
arising or based on events occurring before or after the Date of this Agreement,
any and all such claims being hereby released, waived and extinguished.
(a) In lieu of payments that Pall would otherwise have been required to
make under Section 2.06 of the Original Agreement for the months of May, June
and July 2002, Pall shall pay Vitex within ten days after the Date of this
Agreement (i) for the month of May, [*****], (ii) for the month of June, [*****]
and (iii) for the month of July, [*****], in full satisfaction of Pall's
obligations under such Section 2.06 for such period.
ARTICLE III
SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT; USE AND PRICING
OF PALL PRODUCTS; ROYALTY PAYMENTS
SECTION 3.01 SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT; OPTION FOR MARKETING RIGHTS.
(a) Systems Development. Following the execution of this Agreement, Vitex shall
continue to work diligently and use its best efforts to (i) develop, including
conducting research and development and clinical work, and obtain Regulatory
Approval for a System or Systems, and (ii) thereafter, market, sell and
distribute, or cause to be marketed, sold and distributed Systems for the
Inactivation of Red Blood Cells or Platelets. From the Date of this Agreement
and unless and until Pall exercises its right to reacquire marketing rights
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.01(c) below, Vitex shall be solely
responsible for all aspects relating to the production, manufacturing, assembly,
sterilization, packaging, warehousing, marketing and distribution of Systems and
Pall shall have no further rights or obligations with respect to the Systems or
such activities, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. All
activities of Vitex set forth in this Section 3.01 shall be conducted in
compliance with all pertinent regulatory requirements of the FDA and other
relevant Governmental Authorities.
(b) New Marketing Partners. During the one-year period commencing on the Date of
this Agreement, Vitex shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to attract
new marketing and distribution partners to promote the worldwide
commercialization of the System. Vitex shall have the sole authority to
negotiate partnership agreements with any such new partners without approval by
Pall.
(c) Option for the Marketing Rights. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections
3.01(a) and (b), the parties agree that Pall shall have the right, exercisable
on August 1, 2003, to request, by written notice, and obtain from Vitex all
marketing and distribution rights with respect to the
----------
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omissions.
8
Systems in those countries of the world in which Vitex has not, as of August 1,
2003, sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed such rights to another Person, on
terms and conditions substantially consistent with the Original Agreement, and
on such other terms and conditions as shall be in good faith negotiated by and
mutually acceptable to Pall and Vitex. In addition, upon the exercise by Pall of
the marketing rights option provided in this Section 3.01(c): (i) any
outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Note (as defined in Section 5.01
hereof) will, at Pall's election, either (x) be converted into Vitex common
stock at the average closing prices of such common stock on the NASDAQ National
Market for the ten trading days immediately preceding August 1, 2003 or (y) the
maturity date of the Revolving Credit Note will be extended for a term of not
less than one year; and (ii) Pall's obligations to fund eligible R&D costs of
the Systems development program will be proportional to the marketing and
distribution rights reacquired by Pall (if any), i.e., Pall's R&D payments will
be based on a percentage reflecting the number of units used in red cell
transfusions in the territories reacquired by Pall divided by the total number
of units used in red cell transfusions in the United States, Europe and Japan.
Pall and Vitex will jointly agree on the data source and year for red cell
transfusion statistics.
(d) Quarterly Program Reviews. On a quarterly basis until August 1, 2003, Vitex
will provide Pall with an in-depth review of progress in the Systems development
program, including scientific progress, system development, clinical trials,
commercialization efforts and plans for the upcoming quarter. The review will be
held, at Pall's option, by telephone conference call or meeting at Pall's
offices, unless agreed otherwise by the parties. Vitex will distribute an agenda
in advance of the call or meeting for review and proposed modification (if any)
by Pall.
SECTION 3.02 PRODUCTION OF SYSTEMS; USE OF PALL PRODUCTS. Vitex shall have the
right to, but, except as otherwise provided in the immediately following
sentence, shall not be required to, use in the manufacture and production of
Systems any Pall Bags, Pall Solutions and Pall Filters (collectively, "Pall
Products"). With respect to any and all Systems sold by Vitex to a customer
which contain a leukocyte reduction filter and in all instances in which Vitex
itself performs leukoreduction for a customer in a processing center or
elsewhere, Vitex shall purchase and use only Pall Filters; provided, however,
that Vitex shall only be required to purchase and use in each country only those
Pall Filters which are permitted to be used in that country.
SECTION 3.03 PRICING OF PALL PRODUCTS. Vitex shall enjoy, with respect to all
Pall Products purchased under or as a result of Section 3.02, prices for each
separate model of a product which are not greater than the prices being offered
by Pall for such model to clients who purchase like quantities of Pall Products
in the respective territory during the same period of time. For purposes of
clarification, the scope of this Section 3.03 is forward-looking and not
retroactive and Pall shall not, if at any time during this Agreement it enters
into an agreement with any customer providing such customer with more favorable
pricing than the pricing offered to Vitex, be required to give Vitex any refunds
or credits for purchases made in any prior periods, provided, however, that if
Pall gives any customer a refund or credit and the prices charged to Vitex were
based on the prices charged to such customer, Pall shall give Vitex a
proportional refund or credit after taking into account the respective
quantities purchased by Vitex and such customer.
9
SECTION 3.04 REGULATORY ACTIVITIES. In any country in which Vitex sells Systems
or performs the Inactivation of Red Blood Cells or Platelets or in which the
System is otherwise licensed for use under the applicable local requirements,
Vitex shall take all actions necessary to ensure that those Pall Products which
are permitted to be used in that country are recognized by the relevant
Governmental Authority as being tested for use with the Vitex Inactivation
Compounds and/or in Systems. Concurrently, Vitex has the right to license any
other supplier of blood bags and solutions licensed for use in the respective
country.
SECTION 3.05 ROYALTY PAYMENTS. In the event that Pall does not elect on August
1, 2003 to exercise its right to reacquire marketing rights pursuant to Section
3.01, Pall will, as of August 2, 2003 and until the Royalty Termination Date, be
entitled to, and Vitex shall pay Pall, royalties with respect to the
Inactivation of Red Blood Cells or Platelets as follows: (i) [*****] per unit of
Red Blood Cells or Platelets for which Vitex performs Inactivation or with
respect to which such Inactivation is performed by a third party using a System
(such Red Blood Cells or Platelets being hereinafter referred to as the "Vitex
Inactivated Unit") [*****] ; (ii) [*****] per Vitex Inactivated Unit [*****];
and (iii) [*****] per Vitex Inactivated Unit [*****]. Vitex shall not be
required to pay Pall any royalties hereunder for any Vitex Inactivated Units
once Pall has received aggregate royalty payments hereunder equal to [*****].
The date on which Pall has received royalty payments under this Section 3.05
equal to [*****] is referred to herein as the "Royalty Termination Date".
SECTION 3.06 TIMING OF ROYALTY PAYMENTS. Vitex shall send to Pall an analysis of

Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omissions.
11
Facility Date"), establish on its books a revolving credit facility of
$5,000,000 in favor of Vitex (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility shall
expire at the close of the Business Day on the earlier of (i) Friday, August 1,
2003 or (ii) the date of the closing by Vitex of a financing of more than
[*****] (the "Stated Expiry Date"). Vitex shall be authorized to draw on the
Credit Facility at any time following the Credit Facility Date and until the
close of business on the earlier of May 15, 2003 or the Stated Expiry Date, in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, in a single or
multiple drawings (the date on which a drawing is made being hereinafter
referred to as the "Draw-Down Date"), provided that each draw shall be in an
amount not less than $500,000 or whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof,
and, provided, further, that all drawings by Vitex in any Pall Quarter shall not
exceed, in the aggregate, (i) $2,500,000 plus (ii) the principal amount repaid
on the Credit Facility in that Pall Quarter. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no draws may be made under this Credit Facility until Vitex has
obtained and delivered to Pall executed Control Agreements (as defined in
Section 5.08(c)) with respect to all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts
listed on Schedule 5.08(c).
All loans made by Pall to Vitex under the Credit Facility shall be evidenced by
a single revolving credit note in the form of Exhibit 1 to this Agreement (the
"Revolving Credit Note"), delivered to Pall on the first Draw-Down Date and
payable to Pall in the principal amount of $5,000,000.
Any drawing under and in compliance with the terms of this Section 5.01 shall be
duly honored by Pall on presentation to Pall, at the address set forth in
Section 9.01 of this Agreement, to the attention of Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx (or such
Person as he may designate in writing), of (i) on the first Draw-Down Date, the
Revolving Credit Note, and thereafter, a written notice, signed by an officer of
Vitex, which references the Revolving Credit Note and indicates the amount of
the drawing being made and provides wire transfer instructions for Vitex,
together with (ii) a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief
Financial Officer of Vitex to the effect that on and as of the Draw-Down Date,
no Event of Default, as defined in Section 5.06 hereof, has occurred and is
continuing (collectively, the "Draw-Down Instruments"). If Pall receives the
Draw-Down Instruments at such office, all in conformity with the terms and
conditions of this Article V, Pall shall honor the same within three Business
Days of its receipt, by payment made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions furnished by Vitex.
Pall shall, and is hereby authorized by Vitex to, endorse on the schedule
attached to the Revolving Credit Note (or on a continuation of such schedule
attached to such Revolving Credit Note and made a part thereof) an appropriate
notation evidencing the date and amount of each drawing by Vitex from Pall, as
well as the date and amount of each payment and prepayment with respect thereto;
provided, however, that the failure of any person to make such a notation on the
Revolving Credit Note shall not affect any obligations of Vitex under such
Revolving Credit Note. Any such notation shall be conclusive and binding as of
the date and amount of such drawing or portion thereof, or payment or prepayment
of principal or interest thereon, absent manifest error.
Vitex shall have the right, at any time or from time to time prior to the Stated
Expiry Date, to

12
repay all or any portion of the indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit
Facility in an amount not less than $500,000 or whole multiples of $100,000 in
excess thereof, provided that all interest to the date of repayment on the
amount being repaid is paid, together with the principal amount being repaid.
Upon any such repayment, the principal amount repaid shall be restored to the
amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility and shall become
available for re-borrowing upon compliance with all of the terms and conditions
to borrowing set forth in this Article V.
All amounts drawn under this Credit Facility and not repaid before the Stated
Expiry Date shall be fully repaid by Vitex on the Stated Expiry Date. All
principal amounts drawn under this Credit Facility shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to two percentage points above the XX Xxxxxx Chase Bank prime
rate, as in effect and announced by XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx Bank from time to time (the
"Prime Rate"). All such interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during
which it accrues, and shall be paid by Vitex monthly, in arrears, on the first
Business Day of each month (with the first payment on each drawing to be made on
the first Business Day of the month immediately succeeding the Draw-Down Date of
such drawing). Vitex shall not, with respect to any amounts owed by Vitex under
this Article V, have any right of offset or set-off against, or any right to
reduce or cancel its payment of such amounts as a result of, any amounts owed or
claimed to be owed by Pall to Vitex pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
including but not limited to, subparagraph (a) of Article II of this Agreement,
or owed or claimed to be owed by Pall to Vitex based on any other agreement,
transaction or event.
SECTION 5.02 NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDIT FACILITY. Vitex's rights under this
Article V are not transferable or assignable by Vitex and shall at all times
inure solely to the benefit of Vitex.
SECTION 5.03 PAYMENTS BY VITEX. In addition to any other amounts payable by
Vitex to Pall under Article V of this Agreement, Vitex shall pay all costs and
expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
incurred by Pall in the collection and enforcement of all amounts owed under the
Credit Facility and the collection of and enforcement of Pall's rights hereunder
with respect to Collateral. All payments required to be made by Vitex under this
Article V shall be made in Dollars immediately available to Pall at its office
set forth in the Preamble to this Agreement or by wire transfer if wire transfer
instructions are furnished by Pall to Vitex. All such payments shall be made to
Pall free and clear of any and all present and future taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, deductions, withholdings, fees, liabilities and similar charges other
then those imposed on the overall net income of Pall. Any payment otherwise due
hereunder on a day which is not a Business Day shall be paid on the next ensuing
Business Day, with any interest computed to the day of payment.
SECTION 5.04 PLEDGE OF COLLATERAL. To secure the prompt payment when due of all
amounts owed from time to time by Vitex pursuant to and in connection with the
Credit Facility and in consideration of the agreement of Pall to make the Credit
Facility available to Vitex, for value received, Vitex hereby pledges, assigns,
transfers and grants to Pall a first priority security interest in all of
Vitex's right, title and interest (whether now owned or existing or hereafter
arising or acquired) in and to the Collateral, subject, in the case of all
Collateral other than the
13
Pharma Cash Payment, the Deposit Accounts and the Securities Accounts, to the
Permitted Liens and subject, in the case of the Deposit Accounts and the
Securities Accounts, to the Banker Liens (the Permitted Liens, with respect to
all Collateral other than the Pharma Cash Payment, the Deposit Accounts and the
Securities Accounts, and the Banker Liens, with respect to the Deposit Accounts
and the Securities Accounts, herein referred to as the "Permitted Exclusions").
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Vitex shall at all times remain
liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral for the
performance of its obligations thereunder.
SECTION 5.05 CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; BINDING ON SUCCESSORS. (a) This
Article V creates a continuing first priority security interest in the
Collateral (subject to the Permitted Exclusions) and shall remain in full force
and effect until (i) Pall has received indefeasible payment in full of all
amounts due and outstanding under the Credit Facility, and (ii) either (x) the
Stated Expiry Date has occurred or (y) Vitex has, in a writing furnished to and
acceptable to Pall, surrendered its right to any further borrowings under the
Credit Facility (such date, on which (i) and (ii) have been satisfied, being
referred to as the "Release Date"). Vitex shall take all steps required from
time to time to maintain the priority of this security interest. Upon the
Release Date, the security interest granted under this Article V shall
automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Vitex,
including, but not limited to, all rights of Vitex to such portion of the Pharma
Cash Payment with respect to which Pall has not exercised any of its rights
under Section 5.06 below. Upon such termination, Pall shall, at Vitex's expense,
execute and deliver to Vitex such documents as Vitex shall reasonably request to
evidence such termination, including, but not limited to, notices to the banks
or facilities which executed Control Agreements notifying them of the
termination of the Control Agreements, as reasonably requested by Vitex.
(b) This Article V and Vitex's obligations hereunder shall be binding on Vitex
and its successors, transferees and assigns.
SECTION 5.06 EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES. (a) Pall's obligations under Section
5.01 hereof to advance funds to Vitex upon the presentation of the Draw-Down
Instruments shall cease and terminate, and Pall may, by notice to Vitex given in
accordance with Section 9.01, declare all amounts drawn under the Credit
Facility (and interest thereon) to be immediately due and payable, at any time
when any of the following events (each, an "Event of Default") shall have
occurred and be continuing:
(i) the principal of, interest on or any other amount payable in respect of
the Credit Facility shall not be paid when due, provided that if the payment of
any interest is made within ten days of the date on which such payment is due,
such payment shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder;
(ii) A Material Default by Vitex shall have occurred (i.e., the 30-day
cure period after notice provided for in the definition of "Material Default" in
Article I has expired and the default remains uncured), or any representation or
other statement of Vitex herein or in any document delivered in connection
herewith shall be or shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect
when made;
14
(iii) Vitex makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition
in bankruptcy, is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, petitions or applies to any
tribunal for any receiver of or any trustee for all or any substantial part of
its property, commences any proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any
jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, or there is commenced against
Vitex any such proceeding which remains undismissed for a period of 60 days;
(iv) a final judgment or judgments not covered by insurance for the payment of
money in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against Vitex and
the same shall remain undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days during
which execution shall not be effectively stayed; or
(v) at any time when the security interest of Pall in a material portion of
the Collateral ceases to be a fully-perfected first priority lien thereon except
as otherwise permitted by the Permitted Exclusions;
provided, that, upon the occurrence of any event described in clause (iii) above
all obligations of Vitex under this Article V shall automatically become due and
payable without any demand or other action by Pall.
(b) At such time as all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility shall
have become fully due and payable, Pall may, but shall not be obligated to,
exercise, in any order or combination (subject to the terms of Section 5.06(e)),
all rights and remedies provided to it hereunder or under applicable law.
(c) At any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred), Pall, at
the reasonable expense of Vitex, shall have the right, to the extent that in
Pall's reasonable judgment it may be necessary or desirable to protect the
security interest granted to Pall hereunder, to: (i) at all reasonable times
(but not more than twice during the time that the Credit Facility is in effect)
and on reasonable notice, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral is
situated and examine the same, or (ii) request from Vitex information concerning
the Collateral. Pall shall be under no duty or obligation to take any action to
preserve any rights of or against any prior or other parties in connection with
the Collateral, to exercise any managerial rights with respect to any
Collateral, to preserve the Collateral, or to make collections or enforce
payment thereon, or to make or give any presentments, demands for performance,
notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor
or notices of any other nature in connection with the Collateral, whether or not
an Event of Default shall have occurred.
(d) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pall may
exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Pall may, subject to Section 5.06(e), in its sole discretion, (i)
demand, collect and receive all moneys due and to become due under any
Collateral; (ii) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law
or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or
any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;
(iii) defend, settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding
brought against Vitex with respect to any Collateral; and (iv) without notice
except as specified below, sell, transfer, pledge (or make any agreement with
respect to) the Collateral or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any exchange or through any broker or elsewhere, at such
time or times and on such price and upon such other terms as
15
Pall may deem commercially reasonable. At any sale discussed in (iv) above, Pall
may be the purchaser at such sale and shall be entitled to use and apply any
amounts due to it under the Credit Facility as a credit on account of the
purchase price. Any purchaser at such sale shall hold the property sold free and
clear of any claim on the part of Vitex, and Vitex hereby waives (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
which it now has or may have in the future. Vitex agrees that, to the extent
that notice of sale shall be required under applicable law, at least ten days'
notice to Vitex, given in a manner set forth in Section 9.01 of this Agreement,
of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private
sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Pall shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. Pall may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
Vitex hereby waives any claim against Pall arising by reason of the fact that
the price obtained at any sale was less than the price which could have been
obtained through a sale by a different method or at a different time than that
of such sale.
(e) In exercising its rights in respect of Collateral provided for under
Sections 5.06(b) and 5.06(d) above, Pall agrees as follows:
(i) at all times, Pall shall first (before exercising any other rights
provided to it under Sections 5.06(b) and (d) above and 5.06(e)(ii) and (iii)
below) demand and attempt to collect and receive the amount of the Pharma Cash
Payment (which, pursuant to the terms of the Pharma Agreement, may only be
claimed on or after August 13, 2003) and Pall shall exercise the other rights
provided to it under such Sections only to the extent that, (x) the outstanding
amounts owed by Vitex under Article V are in excess of the amount of the Pharma
Cash Payment that is, under the terms of the Pharma Agreement, collectible (and
Pall can, subject to the proviso set forth in clause (ii) below, in such event
exercise such other rights at any time, whether prior to or after August 13,
2003, to the extent of such excess), or (y) despite its commercially reasonable
efforts, Pall is unable to collect and receive within thirty (30) days of its
first demand (provided such demand is made on or after August 13, 2003) all or
any portion of the Pharma Cash Payment (and Pall can in such event exercise such
other rights after such thirtieth day with respect to the difference between the
outstanding amounts and the Pharma Cash Payment collected, if any);
(ii) after giving effect to paragraph (i) above, Pall shall next (before
exercising any other rights provided to it under Sections 5.06(b) and (d))
exercise its rights under such Sections against and look to Vitex's rights,
interest and title in and to all cash and cash equivalents which constitute
Collateral, including, but not limited to, all Deposit Accounts, Payment
Intangibles and Securities Accounts and other securities and Investment Property
of Vitex (other than capital stock of Vitex), provided, however, that Pall shall
not exercise its rights with respect to the Deposit Accounts and the Securities
Accounts (including, but not limited to, delivering a Blocked Account Notice (as
such term is defined in Exhibit 3 to this Agreement) or delivering a Notice of
Exclusive Control (as such term is defined in Exhibit 4 to this Agreement) prior
to August 13, 2003; and
(iii) after giving effect to paragraphs (i) and, after August 13, 2003,
(ii) above, Pall
16
shall then exercise the rights provided to it under Sections 5.06(b) and (d)
with respect to the other Collateral not covered by (i) or (ii), including, but
not limited to, with respect to Vitex's rights, interest and title in and to all
tangible personal property and goods owned or leased by Vitex that constitute
Collateral, including, but not limited to the Equipment.
SECTION 5.07 OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. All obligations of Vitex under this Article V
are absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangements, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like
of Vitex (or Pall); (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating hereto; (c) any
exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under
or in respect of this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating
hereto; or (d) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, Vitex.
SECTION 5.08 PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS: UCC FILINGS; DEPOSIT AND
SECURITIES ACCOUNT AGREEMENTS. (a) Vitex hereby authorizes Pall to file (and
Vitex shall reimburse Pall for all costs and expenses of such filing) one or
more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to
all or any part of the Collateral. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction
of this Agreement or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing
statement where permitted by law.
(b) Vitex shall, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, execute an
Assignment Agreement in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 2, assigning to Pall
as Collateral for Vitex's obligations under the Credit Facility all of Vitex'
rights to the Pharma Cash Payment. In addition, Vitex hereby authorizes Pall to
notify Precision Pharma Services, Inc. of this assignment concurrently with the
execution of this Agreement or at any time thereafter.
(c) Vitex shall, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or promptly
thereafter, but in any event no later than sixty days thereafter, and at any
time thereafter when Vitex shall open any new Deposit Account or Securities
Account, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the banks or
facilities in which Vitex maintains Deposit Accounts to execute Deposit Account
Agreements substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3 and all
brokerage firms or other Persons with which Vitex maintains Securities Accounts
(including but not limited to money market or other mutual funds) to execute
Security Account Agreements substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
4, thereby perfecting Pall's security interest in such Deposit Accounts and
Securities Accounts (such agreements referred to collectively as the "Control
Agreements"). Schedule 5.08(c) to this Agreement sets forth a full and complete
list of all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts maintained by Vitex
(including the account number of each such account and the name and address of
the financial institution at which it is held). Vitex shall, until the Release
Date, promptly inform Pall, in writing, of any new Deposit Accounts or
Securities Accounts opened by Vitex (including the account number of each
account and the name and address of the financial institution at which it is
held) or any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts set forth on Schedule
5.08(c) which Vitex has closed.
17
SECTION 5.09 VITEX COVENANTS RELATED TO CREDIT FACILITY. From and after the Date
of this Agreement and until the Release Date Vitex shall: (a) not change its
type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure
without giving Pall 30 days' advance written notice thereof; (b) preserve,
protect and keep the Collateral owned or leased by it in such condition as is
sufficient for the conduct of its business in accordance with past practice and
make all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements
thereto, not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose and otherwise deal with
the Collateral in all such ways as are consistent with its historical practice;
(c) not, without the written consent of Pall, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, in any Pall Quarter sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, except in the ordinary course of business,
or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral having an aggregate
value in excess of $250,000 or the Pharma Cash Payment, or participate in a
merger, tender offer, exchange offer or consolidation; (d) not create or suffer
to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral (other than
Permitted Liens); (e) promptly notify Pall in writing of any substantial or
material damage to the Collateral in excess of $250,000 and not covered by
insurance and of any event of which Vitex becomes aware causing material loss or
depreciation in the value of the Collateral in excess of $250,000 or which could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Collateral or on
the business or operations of Vitex and not covered by insurance; (f) pay
promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies
imposed upon, and all claims against, the Collateral, except to the extent the
validity thereof is being contested in good faith; (g) except for the
disposition of collections and other proceeds of the Collateral received in the
ordinary course of business and without violation of this Section 5.09, not
remove or permit to be removed any part of the Collateral in any Pall Quarter
having an aggregate value in excess of $250,000 from its place of business
without the prior written consent of Pall; (h) in the event Vitex changes its
name or address, promptly notify Pall of such name or address change; and (i)
not, without the prior written consent of Pall, (x) open any Deposit Account or
Securities Account (other than an account set forth on Schedule 5.08(c) hereto)
unless the bank or financial institution which shall be holding such new account
shall have executed and delivered to Pall a Control Agreement, or (y) close any
Deposit Account or Securities Account. Further, Vitex shall, at its own expense,
establish and maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, at all
times until the Release Date, with respect to all amounts (principal and
interest) outstanding under the Credit Facility, such insurance with respect to
the Collateral, including but not limited to casualty insurance, as shall be in
accordance with the general practices of the businesses engaged in the same
industry in similar geographic areas. Such policies shall provide for at least
thirty days prior written notice of cancellation to Pall. Vitex shall provide
Pall upon execution of this Agreement with a certificate evidencing compliance
with the foregoing insurance provision.
SECTION 5.10 UCC TERMINATION FILINGS. Vitex shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain and file in all applicable jurisdictions and with
all applicable recording offices, within sixty (60) days of the Date of this
Agreement, Uniform Commercial Code termination statements terminating such of
those Uniform Commercial Code financing statement filings marked on Schedule
8.01(f) with an asterisk.
18
SECTION 5.11 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Vitex further agrees that, from time to time,
at its own expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable,
or that Pall may reasonably request, in order to perfect, preserve and protect
any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable
Pall to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Collateral.
SECTION 5.12 PALL APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Vitex hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Pall and any officer or agent thereof, with full power
of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of Vitex and in the name of Vitex or
in its own name, without notice to or assent by Vitex, to, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, do, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 5.06(e), at Pall's option, at any time, or from
time to time, all acts and things which Pall reasonably deems necessary to
protect, perfect, maintain, preserve or realize upon the Collateral, and Pall's

To: ________________________ ("Bank")
________________________
________________________
________________________
Attn: ________________________
Date: ________________________
Re: Depositor: V.I. Technologies, Inc.
Secured Party: Pall Corporation
Deposit Account:
Title: V.I. Technologies, Inc.
No.: ________________________
Type: ________________________
Gentlemen and Ladies:
1. Security Interest in Deposit Account. This is to confirm to Bank that
Depositor named above has assigned and granted to Secured Party a security
interest in the Deposit Account maintained by Depositor with Bank and in all
moneys and credits now or hereafter becoming due, owing or payable in connection
with the Deposit Account, and any and all future deposits thereto, and any and
all proceeds thereof, including any interest earned thereon. Depositor hereby
agrees that the Deposit Account is subject to the sole dominion and control of
Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof.
2. Bank Acknowledgment. This Deposit Account Agreement
(this "Agreement") shall constitute written notice by Secured Party to Bank.
Bank represents and agrees that: (a) Bank has received Secured Party's notice of
security interest in the Deposit Account; (b) Bank maintains the Deposit Account
in Depositor's name at the banking office named above; (c) as of the date
hereof, Bank does not have knowledge of a security interest in the Deposit
Account claimed by any person other than Secured Party; and (d) prior to receipt
of a Blocked Account Notice (defined below) by Bank, Depositor shall have the
exclusive right to instruct Bank with respect to matters relating to the
withdrawal, operation and administration of, and investment and application of,
funds on deposit in the Deposit Account. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph
11 hereof, for so long as this Agreement remains effective, Bank's rights of
setoff/banker's lien against the funds in the Deposit Account are subordinate to
Secured Party's security interests.
3. Secured Party's Orders. (a) Depositor, Bank and Secured Party hereby
agree that (i) prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), Bank shall honor
all withdrawal, payment,
transfer or other instructions received from Depositor (but not those from
Secured Party) concerning the Deposit Account and (ii) on and after the
Effective Time, Bank shall honor only such Orders (as defined below) received
from Secured Party (but not those from Depositor or any other party) concerning
the Deposit Account, except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3(c) and 3(d)
below.
(b) For the purposes hereof, (i) the "Effective Time" shall be the
opening of business on the Business Day (as defined below) next succeeding the
Business Day on which a notice purporting to be signed by Secured Party in
substantially the form attached as Schedule A hereto (a "Blocked Account
Notice") is actually received by Bank at the address set forth on Schedule B;
provided, that, if any such notice is so received after 3:00 p.m. on any
Business Day, the "Effective Time" shall be the opening of business on the
second Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such receipt
occurs and (ii) a "Business Day" is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
other day on which Bank is or is authorized or required by law to be closed.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Secured Party
shall not give a Blocked Account Notice before August 13, 2003 (the "Effective
Date"). The parties hereto agree that any Blocked Account Notice received by
Bank before the Effective Date shall be deemed null and void and Bank shall not
honor or comply with any Orders (as defined in Paragraph 4 below) received from
Secured Party before the Effective Date.
(d) Secured Party agrees, simultaneously with the delivery of a Blocked
Account Notice to Bank, to deliver a copy thereof to Depositor at the address
set forth for Depositor on Schedule B. If Depositor, in good faith, disputes the
exercise by Secured Party of its right to deliver a Blocked Account Notice and
the giving of Orders to Bank on or after the Effective Time, Depositor shall
have ten (10) days from the date Secured Party gives the Blocked Account Notice
to give notice of such dispute (the "Dispute Notice") to Secured Party and Bank.
Upon Bank's actual receipt of the Dispute Notice, Bank shall (i) give notice to
Secured Party confirming Bank's receipt of such Dispute Notice and (ii) continue
to maintain the Deposit Account until otherwise directed by (the "New
Direction") (A) joint written instructions from Secured Party and Depositor or
(B) a final, nonappealable judgment, order or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The period of time between Bank's actual receipt of the Dispute
Notice and Bank's actual receipt of the New Direction is herein referred to as
the "Dispute Period". During the Dispute Period, Bank shall not honor or comply
with any Orders received from either Secured Party or Depositor.
4. Documentation. Secured Party agrees that before it attempts to give
Bank any orders or instructions concerning the Deposit Account, including, but
not limited to, withdrawal orders, receipts, or other Items (as defined below),
orders for funds transfers, stop payment orders, instructions not to allow
withdrawals, instructions to close the Deposit Account, or instructions to
transfer title of the Deposit Account to another person (collectively,
"Orders"), Secured Party shall deliver to Bank such documentation as Bank may
from time to time reasonably request to evidence the authority of those
partners, officers, employees or agents whom Secured Party authorizes to give
Orders. Bank shall have no obligation to act on Secured Party's Orders until
Secured Party delivers a Blocked Account Notice to Bank.
5. Release of Security Interest; Termination of Agreement. Except as
provided below, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect until Bank receives Secured Party's written notice of release of its
security interest in, or reassignment to Depositor of, the Deposit Account
("Secured Party's Release"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Secured Party
or Bank may terminate this Agreement by giving twenty (20) days' written notice
to the other and to Depositor during which 20-day period this Agreement shall
remain in effect. Following such notice of termination Bank shall follow Secured
Party's Orders for the payment of the net balance of collected funds in the
Deposit Account to Depositor or to Secured Party. Notwithstanding any provision
herein to the contrary, if Bank elects to give notice to terminate this
Agreement during the Dispute Period, then following such notice of termination,
Bank shall transfer the net balance of collected funds in the Deposit Account
(a) as directed by the New Direction if it has been received by Bank, or (b) if
Bank has not received the New Direction, to a third party designated by Secured
Party (the "escrow agent"), to be held in escrow until the escrow agent shall
receive the New Direction.
6. Deposits by Secured Party. For so long as this Agreement remains in
force, Bank may accept from either Depositor or Secured Party, whether for
collection or for deposit into the Deposit Account, any checks, drafts, or other
instruments for the payment of money (each an "Item" and collectively, "Items")
payable or endorsed to Depositor, to Secured Party, to both of them, or to cash
or bearer, whether endorsed by written or stamped endorsement, and with or
without designation or signature of the person making such endorsement, or
endorsed in the form "Credited to the Account of the Within Named Payee -
Absence of Endorsement Guaranteed," or words of similar meaning, or unendorsed.
Secured Party and Depositor jointly and severally agree that as between Bank, on
the one hand, and Secured Party and Depositor, on the other hand, each such Item
shall be deemed to bear the special endorsement by Depositor to Secured Party,
and by Secured Party to Bank for deposit, of each such Item.
7. Bank's Authority. Bank shall be fully protected in: (a) before
receipt by Bank of a Blocked Account Notice and from and after withdrawal by
Secured Party of such Blocked Account Notice, acting upon any Orders concerning
the Deposit Account which it reasonably believes to have been given by
Depositor; (b) after receipt by Bank of a Blocked Account Notice, but subject to
the provisions of paragraphs 3(c) and 3(d) above, acting upon any Orders which
it reasonably believes to have been given by Secured Party under this Agreement
without making any inquiry as to Secured Party's right or authority to give such
Orders or as to the application by Secured Party of any payment made pursuant
thereto; (c) disclosing to Secured Party such information concerning the Deposit
Account including, without limitation, copies of periodic statements and
correspondence between Bank and Depositor concerning the Deposit Account, as
Secured Party may from time to time request; provided, however, that Bank shall
have no obligation to disclose to Secured Party any information which Bank does
not ordinarily make available to its depositors; and (d) until given Orders to
the contrary by Secured Party, continuing to pay interest earned on the Deposit
Account in accordance with Depositor's instructions. Anything in this Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
3(c) and 3(d) above, Bank's only obligation after receipt of a Blocked Account
Notice is to follow Secured Party's Orders with respect to the Deposit Account.
After receipt of a Blocked Account Notice, Bank, upon at least ten (10) days'
written notice to Secured Party, may decline to accept deposits to the Deposit
Account.
8. Deposit Account Agreements. For so long as this Agreement remains in
effect Secured Party's transactions involving the Deposit Account shall be
subject, except to the extent inconsistent herewith, to the provisions of such
deposit account agreements (including, without limitation, account analysis
agreements, night depository agreements, and funds transfer agreements),
disclosures, and fee schedules as are in effect from time to time for accounts
like the Deposit Account.
9. Bank Reliance on Notices. Bank may request such confirmation as is
reasonably necessary or desirable to verify the genuineness, validity or
accuracy of any Orders, Blocked Account Notice, withdrawal of Blocked Account
Notice, Dispute Notice, Secured Party's Release or any other notice or
instructions received from either Depositor or Secured Party hereunder and shall
not be liable to any person for any damages alleged to have resulted from any
delay occasioned by seeking such confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Bank may, without inquiry or investigation, rely on any Orders, Blocked Account
Notice, withdrawal of Blocked Account Notice, Dispute Notice, Secured Party's
Release or any other notice or instructions that Bank believes to have been
given by either Depositor or Secured Party hereunder.
10. Bank's Disclaimers; Scope; Title to Deposit Account. Secured Party
and Depositor acknowledge and agree that: (a) Bank makes no representations or
warranties, express or implied, concerning the validity, effectiveness,
perfection or priority of Secured Party's security interest in the Deposit
Account; (b) except as otherwise required by law or by the terms of this
Agreement or any other present or future agreement with Depositor or Secured
Party, Bank has no obligation to notify Secured Party of any past, present or
future lien, demand, claim, claim of security interest, adverse claim, notice,
notice to withhold or other claim for taxes, court or administrative order,
summons, warrant, subpoena, search warrant, execution, attachment, writ, seizure
order or other form of legal process or notice, whether filed, published, sent
to or received by Bank, and whether affecting or purporting to affect the
Deposit Account; (c) this Agreement applies only to the Deposit Account
designated above, but not to any other deposit account which Depositor may now
or hereafter maintain with Bank; and (d) unless, after delivering a Blocked
Account Notice to Bank, Secured Party instructs Bank to transfer title to the
Deposit Account to itself, Bank shall continue to maintain the Deposit Account
in the name of Depositor.
11. Rights Reserved by Bank. Nothing herein constitutes a waiver of, and
Bank expressly reserves all of, its present and future rights (whether described
as rights of set off, banker's lien, chargeback or otherwise, and whether
available to Bank at law, in equity, under any other agreement between Bank and
Depositor concerning the Deposit Account or otherwise) with respect to (a) Items
deposited to the Deposit Account and returned unpaid, whether for insufficient
funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the timeliness of return of
any such Item, and (b) overdrafts on the Deposit Account, including but not
limited to "daylight overdrafts", and (c) Bank's usual and customary charges for
services rendered in connection with the Deposit Account. Secured Party
acknowledges and agrees that its security interest in the Deposit Account is
subordinate to the rights reserved by Bank in this Paragraph 11.
12. Indemnification of Bank by Depositor. In order to induce Bank to
agree to the terms of this Agreement, Depositor agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold Bank, its directors,
officers, employees, attorneys, successors and assigns, harmless from and
against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including,
without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of: (a)
acts, errors or omissions of Depositor or Secured Party or the agent of any of
them; or (b) Bank's otherwise acting in accordance with the provisions hereof,
excepting only liability occasioned solely by Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
13. Notices; Written Orders to Bank. Any notice given by any party under
this Agreement shall be effective only if (a) given in writing and (b) hand
delivered, sent by registered first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, or sent by telecopier
or other authenticated message, charges prepaid and addressed to the respective
addresses set forth in Schedule B attached hereto or in Bank's records for
Depositor. Either Secured Party, Depositor or Bank may change the place to which
notices, requests, and other communications are to be sent by giving written
notice of such change to the others. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall
have no obligation to act upon any Orders, Blocked Account Notice, withdrawal of
Blocked Account Notice, Dispute Notice, Secured Party's Release, or other
notices or instructions hereunder until received in writing by Bank.
14. Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Rights; Entire Agreement;
Amendments; New York Law; Counterparts; Captions; Severability; Non-Waiver;
Bankruptcy/Legal Process; Rights Cumulative; Corporate/Partnership Authority.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of Bank, Secured Party and Depositor and their respective successors and assigns
and to no other person, firm or entity; provided, however, that Depositor may
not assign any of its rights hereunder without Bank's prior written consent,
which Bank shall not unreasonably withhold. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between Bank, on the one hand, and Secured Party and Depositor,
on the other hand, concerning the subject matter hereof. Except to the extent
inconsistent herewith, all other agreements between Bank and Depositor
concerning the Deposit Account shall remain in full force and effect. This
Agreement may not be amended or its provisions waived except by a writing signed
by Bank. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with
New York law, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of
which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. The captions of
paragraphs of this Agreement are for reference only and are not to be construed
in any way as a part hereof. To the extent a provision of this Agreement is
unenforceable, this Agreement will be construed as if the unenforceable
provision were omitted. Bank's failure or delay in exercising any of its rights,
powers or privileges under this Agreement shall not be considered a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege by Bank preclude other or further exercise thereof. In the event that
Depositor becomes subject to voluntary or involuntary proceedings under the
United States Bankruptcy Code, or if Bank is served with legal process that Bank
in good faith believes affects the Deposit Account, Bank shall have the right to
place a hold on funds deposited to the Deposit Account until such time as Bank
receives an appropriate court order or other assurances satisfactory to Bank
establishing that the funds may be disbursed according to the provisions and
instructions contained in this Agreement. All of Bank's rights and remedies,
whether available under this Agreement or otherwise, are cumulative, and in
addition to other rights or remedies available to Bank. Each person signing on
behalf of a party hereto warrants that such party has performed all corporate or
partnership actions necessary to make this Agreement a binding obligation,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
The foregoing is hereby acknowledged and agreed to:

EXHIBIT 4
FORM OF SECURITIES ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
To: ________________________ ("Broker")
________________________
________________________
________________________
Attn: ________________________
Date: ________________________
Re: Customer: V.I. Technologies, Inc.
Secured Party: Pall Corporation
Securities Account:
Title: V.I. Technologies, Inc.
No.: ________________________
Type: ________________________
Gentlemen and Ladies:
1. Security Interest in Securities Account. This is to confirm to Broker
that Customer named above has assigned and granted to Secured Party a security
interest in the Securities Account maintained by Customer with Broker and in all
financial assets, moneys, instruments, securities, credits and other property
now or hereafter becoming due, owing or payable in connection with the
Securities Account, and any and all future deposits thereto, and any and all
proceeds thereof, including any interest or cash dividends earned thereon.
Customer hereby agrees that the Securities Account is subject to the sole
dominion and control of Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof.
2. Broker Acknowledgment. This Securities Account Agreement (this
"Agreement") shall constitute written notice by Secured Party to Broker. Broker
represents and agrees that: (a) Broker has received Secured Party's notice of
security interest in the Securities Account; (b) Broker maintains the Securities
Account in Customer's name; (c) attached hereto as Exhibit I is a statement
produced by Broker in the ordinary course of its business regarding the property
credited to the Securities Account at the statement's date and Broker does not
have any knowledge of any inaccuracy in the statement, (d) as of the date
hereof, Broker does not have knowledge of a security interest in the Securities
Account claimed by any person other than Secured Party; and (e) prior to receipt
of a Notice of Exclusive Control (defined below) by Broker, Customer shall have
the exclusive right to instruct Broker with respect to matters relating to the
withdrawal, disposition, transfer, redemption, operation and administration of,
and investment and application of (each an "entitlement order"), any property in
the Securities Account. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11 hereof, for so
long as this Agreement
remains effective, Broker's rights of setoff against the property in the
Securities Account are subordinate to Secured Party's security interests.
3. Orders to Broker. (a) Customer, Broker and Secured Party hereby agree
that (i) prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), Broker shall honor and
comply with all entitlement orders or other instructions or directives
(collectively, the "Orders") received from Customer (but not those from Secured
Party) concerning the Securities Account, (ii) on and after the Effective Time,
Broker shall honor only such Orders received from Secured Party (but not those
from Customer or any other party) concerning the Securities Account, except as
otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3(c) and 3(d) below, (iii) Broker shall not, at
any time, comply with any Order originated by Customer that would require Broker
to make a free delivery to Customer or any other person, and (iv) Broker shall
not agree with any third party that Broker will honor and comply with Orders
originated by such third party.
(b) For the purposes hereof, (i) the "Effective Time" shall be the
opening of business on the Business Day (as defined below) next succeeding the
Business Day on which a notice purporting to be signed by Secured Party in
substantially the form attached as Schedule A hereto (a "Notice of Exclusive
Control") is actually received by Broker at the address set forth on Schedule B;
provided, that, if any such notice is so received after 3:00 p.m. on any
Business Day, the "Effective Time" shall be the opening of business on the
second Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such receipt
occurs and (ii) a "Business Day" is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
other day on which Broker is or is authorized or required by law to be closed.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Secured Party
shall not give a Notice of Exclusive Control before August 13, 2003 (the
"Effective Date"). The parties hereto agree that any Notice of Exclusive Control
received by Broker before the Effective Date shall be deemed null and void and
Broker shall not honor or comply with any Orders received from Secured Party
before the Effective Date.
(d) Secured Party agrees, simultaneously with the delivery of a Notice of
Exclusive Control to Broker, to deliver a copy thereof to Customer at the
address set forth for Customer on Schedule B. If Customer, in good faith,
disputes the exercise by Secured Party of its right to deliver a Notice of
Exclusive Control and the giving of Orders to Broker on or after the Effective
Time, Customer shall have ten (10) days from the date Secured Party gives the
Notice of Exclusive Control to give notice of such dispute (the "Dispute
Notice") to Secured Party and Broker. Upon Broker's actual receipt of the
Dispute Notice, Broker shall (i) give notice to Secured Party confirming Bank's
receipt of such Dispute Notice and (ii) continue to maintain the Securities
Account until otherwise directed by (the "New Direction") (A) joint written
instructions from Secured Party and Customer or (B) a final, nonappealable
judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. The period of
time between Broker's actual receipt of the Dispute Notice and Broker's actual
receipt of the New Direction is herein referred to as the "Dispute Period".
During the Dispute Period, Broker shall not honor or comply with any Orders
received from either Secured Party or Customer.
4. Documentation. Secured Party agrees that before it attempts to give
Broker any Orders concerning the Securities Account, Secured Party shall deliver
to Broker such
documentation as Broker may from time to time reasonably request to evidence the
authority of those partners, officers, employees or agents whom Secured Party
authorizes to give Orders. Broker shall have no obligation to act on Secured
Party's Orders until Secured Party delivers a Notice of Exclusive Control to
Broker.
5. Release of Security Interest; Termination of Agreement. Except as
provided below, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect until Broker receives Secured Party's written notice of release of its
security interest in, or reassignment to Customer of, the Securities Account
("Secured Party's Release"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Secured Party
or Broker may terminate this Agreement by giving twenty (20) days' written
notice to the other and to Customer during which 20-day period this Agreement
shall remain in effect. Following such notice of termination Broker shall follow
Secured Party's Orders for the transfer of the property credited to the
Securities Account to Customer or to Secured Party. Notwithstanding any
provision herein to the contrary, if Broker elects to give notice to terminate
this Agreement during the Dispute Period, then following such notice of
termination, Broker shall transfer the property credited to the Securities
Account (a) as directed by the New Direction if it has been received by Broker,
or (b) if Broker has not received the New Direction, to a third party designated
by Secured Party (the "escrow agent"), to be held in escrow until the escrow
agent shall receive the New Direction.
6. Statements, Confirmations and Notices of Adverse Claims. Broker shall
send copies of all statements and confirmations for the Securities Account
simultaneously to Customer and Secured Party. Broker will use reasonable efforts
promptly to notify Secured Party and Customer of any claims by a third party
that it has a property interest in the Securities Account or any property
therein and that it is a violation of such third party's rights for anyone else
to hold, transfer or deal with the property in the Securities Account.
7. Broker's Authority. Broker shall be fully protected in: (a) before
receipt by Broker of a Notice of Exclusive Control and from and after withdrawal
by Secured Party of such Notice of Exclusive Control, but subject to the
provisions of paragraphs 3(c) and 3(d) above, acting upon any Orders concerning
the Securities Account which it reasonably believes to have been given by
Customer; (b) after receipt by Broker of a Notice of Exclusive Control, but
subject to the provisions of paragraphs 3(c) and 3(d) above, acting upon any
Orders which it reasonably believes to have been given by Secured Party under
this Agreement without making any inquiry as to Secured Party's right or
authority to give such Orders or as to the application by Secured Party of any
payment made pursuant thereto; (c) disclosing to Secured Party such information
concerning the Securities Account including, without limitation, copies of
periodic statements and correspondence between Broker and Customer concerning
the Securities Account, as Secured Party may from time to time request;
provided, however, that Broker shall have no obligation to disclose to Secured
Party any information which Broker does not ordinarily make available to its
Customers; and (d) until given Orders to the contrary by Secured Party,
continuing to pay and/or distribute interest or cash dividends earned on the
Securities Account in accordance with Customer's instructions. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 3(c) and 3(d) above, Broker's only obligation after receipt of a
Notice of Exclusive Control is to follow Secured Party's Orders with respect to
the Securities Account.
8. Securities Account Agreements. For so long as this Agreement remains
in effect Secured Party's transactions involving the Securities Account shall be
subject, except to the extent inconsistent herewith, to the provisions of such
Securities Account agreements (including, without limitation, account analysis
agreements and funds transfer agreements), disclosures, and fee schedules as are
in effect from time to time for accounts like the Securities Account.
9. Broker Reliance on Notices. Broker may request such confirmation as
is reasonably necessary or desirable to verify the genuineness, validity or
accuracy of any Orders, Notice of Exclusive Control, withdrawal of Notice of
Exclusive Control, Dispute Notice, Secured Party's Release or any other notice
or instructions received from either Customer or Secured Party hereunder and
shall not be liable to any person for any damages alleged to have resulted from
any delay occasioned by seeking such confirmation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Broker may, without inquiry or investigation, rely on any Orders,
Notice of Exclusive Control, withdrawal of Notice of Exclusive Control, Dispute
Notice, Secured Party's Release or any other notice or instructions that Broker
believes to have been given by either Customer or Secured Party hereunder.
10. Broker's Disclaimers; Scope; Title to Securities Account. Secured
Party and Customer acknowledge and agree that: (a) Broker makes no
representations or warranties, express or implied, concerning the validity,
effectiveness, perfection or priority of Secured Party's security interest in
the Securities Account; (b) except as otherwise required by law or by the terms
of this Agreement or any other present or future agreement with Customer or
Secured Party, Broker has no obligation to notify Secured Party of any past,
present or future lien, demand, claim, claim of security interest, adverse
claim, notice, notice to withhold or other claim for taxes, court or
administrative order, summons, warrant, subpoena, search warrant, execution,
attachment, writ, seizure order or other form of legal process or notice,
whether filed, published, sent to or received by Broker, and whether affecting
or purporting to affect the Securities Account; (c) this Agreement applies only
to the Securities Account designated above, but not to any other Securities
Account which Customer may now or hereafter maintain with Broker; and (d)
unless, after delivering a Notice of Exclusive Control to Broker, Secured Party
instructs Broker to transfer title to the Securities Account to itself, Broker
shall continue to maintain the Securities Account in the name of Customer.
11. Prior Lien Reserved by Broker. Nothing herein constitutes a waiver
of, and Broker expressly reserves and retains its prior lien on property in the
Securities Account to secure payment for property purchased for the Securities
Account and Broker's normal commissions and usual and customary fees for
services rendered in connection with the Securities Account. Secured Party
acknowledges and agrees that its security interest in the Securities Account is
subordinate to the rights reserved by Broker in this Paragraph 11.
12. Indemnification of Broker by Customer. In order to induce Broker to
agree to the terms of this Agreement, Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold Broker, its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, successors and
assigns, harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and
expense, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses,
arising out of: (a) acts, errors or omissions of Customer or Secured Party or
the agent of any of them; or (b) Broker's otherwise acting in accordance with
the provisions
hereof, excepting only liability occasioned solely by Broker's gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
13. Notices; Written Orders to Broker. Any notice given by any party
under this Agreement shall be effective only if (a) given in writing and (b)
hand delivered, sent by registered first class mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, or sent by
telecopier or other authenticated message, charges prepaid and addressed to the
respective addresses set forth in Schedule B attached hereto or in Broker's
records for Customer. Either Secured Party, Customer or Broker may change the
place to which notices, requests, and other communications are to be sent by
giving written notice of such change to the others. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Broker shall have no obligation to act upon any Orders, Notice of
Exclusive Control, withdrawal of Notice of Exclusive Control, Dispute Notice,
Secured Party's Release, or other notices or instructions hereunder until
received in writing by Broker.
14. Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Rights; Entire Agreement;
Amendments; New York Law; Counterparts; Captions; Severability; Non-Waiver;
Bankruptcy/Legal Process; Rights Cumulative; Corporate/Partnership Authority.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of Broker, Secured Party and Customer and their respective successors and
assigns and to no other person, firm or entity; provided, however, that Customer
may not assign any of its rights hereunder without Broker's prior written
consent, which Broker shall not unreasonably withhold. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between Broker, on the one hand, and Secured
Party and Customer, on the other hand, concerning the subject matter hereof.
Except to the extent inconsistent herewith, all other agreements between Broker
and Customer concerning the Securities Account shall remain in full force and
effect. This Agreement may not be amended or its provisions waived except by a
writing signed by Broker. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with New York law, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. The
captions of paragraphs of this Agreement are for reference only and are not to
be construed in any way as a part hereof. To the extent a provision of this
Agreement is unenforceable, this Agreement will be construed as if the
unenforceable provision were omitted. Broker's failure or delay in exercising
any of its rights, powers or privileges under this Agreement shall not be
considered a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege by Broker preclude other or further exercise thereof.
In the event that Customer becomes subject to voluntary or involuntary
proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or if Broker is served with
legal process that Broker in good faith believes affects the Securities Account,
Broker shall have the right to place a hold on funds deposited to the Securities
Account until such time as Broker receives an appropriate court order or other
assurances satisfactory to Broker establishing that the funds may be disbursed
according to the provisions and instructions contained in this Agreement. All of
Broker's rights and remedies, whether available under this Agreement or
otherwise, are cumulative, and in addition to other rights or remedies available
to Broker. Each person signing on behalf of a party hereto warrants that such
party has performed all corporate or partnership actions necessary to make this
Agreement a binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
15. Financial Assets. All property credited to the Securities Account
shall be treated as financial assets under Article 8 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code (the "UCC").
16. Rights of Secured Party in Securities Account. Broker hereby agrees
that Secured Party will be entitled to all rights and remedies to which a person
in control of "financial assets" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of
the UCC) is entitled pursuant to Part 5 of Article 8 of the UCC and Article 9 of
the UCC, and Broker agrees to follow the instructions of Secured Party with
respect to the disposition, transfer or redemption of any and all moneys,
instruments, securities and other property deposited in or credited to the
Securities Account without further consent from Customer.
Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time Broker shall receive an
"entitlement order" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC)
issued by Secured Party and relating to the Securities Account, Broker shall
comply with such entitlement order without further consent of Customer or any
other person. Broker hereby agrees that it shall be a "securities intermediary"
within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and that the Securities
Account shall be maintained as a "securities account" (as such term is defined
in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) to the extent that any "investment property" (as
defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) is maintained in or in respect of
the Securities Account and that each item of investment property credited to the
Securities Account shall be treated as a financial asset. Broker further agrees
that all securities or other investment property underlying any financial assets
credited to the Securities Account shall be registered in the name of Broker,
endorsed to it or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained
in its name.
17. Securities Intermediary's Jurisdiction. The "Securities
Intermediary's Jurisdiction" within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC is
and shall continue to be the State of New York.
The foregoing is hereby acknowledged and agreed to:

SCHEDULE 8.01(e)
LITIGATION
ETHANOL USAGE
Vitex used ethanol within its Plasma Operations as a concentration agent in its
plasma fractionation process and in column regeneration for the transfusion
plasma process. Ethanol had been purchased by Vitex on the assumption that it is
entitled to tax-exempt status based on operations and usage in manufacturing. An
application to formalize tax-exempt status has been pending before the U.S.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (the "Bureau") since 1998. The Bureau
initiated its review in 2000 and requested Vitex to pay ethanol excise tax until
a determination is made. On advice of counsel, Vitex commenced paying the excise
tax in October 2000 while the review was in process.
In the event of a determination that Vitex is not eligible for tax exemption,
the Bureau advised Vitex that it would be entitled to a drawback arrangement for
alcohol usage. To date, Vitex has recovered $2.6 million in drawback claims from
the Bureau related to plasma fractionation. The Bureau has disallowed drawback
on the transfusion plasma process and Vitex is challenging this decision. Due to
the uncertainty of securing drawback rights on transfusion plasma, Vitex has
fully reserved all related tax deposits. Management continues to pursue
tax-exempt status.
At June 30, 2002, Vitex had filed for recovery of deposits made to the Bureau in
the amount of [*****] million. [*****]. [*****] has indemnified Vitex for any
settlement amounts in excess of [*****].
