AGREEMENT effective as of the EFFECTIVE DATE, by and between The New York
Blood Center, Inc. ("NYBC"), having an office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, U.S.A., and Melville Biologics, Inc., a Delaware Corporation,
having an office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ("LICENSEE").
WHEREAS, NYBC has developed know-how and patent rights relating to virus
inactivation, utilizing light and certain compounds, for use with blood derived
therapeutic products; and
WHEREAS, LICENSEE desires to acquire a non-exclusive license under such
NYBC know-how and patent rights for the manufacture and sale of certain
products; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, NYBC and LICENSEE mutually agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. DEFINITIONS
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall be defined as set
forth below:
1.1 "AFFILIATE" shall mean a corporation or other business entity controlled
by, controlling or under common control with LICENSEE. For this purpose,
control of a corporation or
other business entity shall mean direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting interest in, or a fifty percent
(50%) or greater interest in the equity of, such corporation or other
business entity, or the maximum percentage that a foreign investor may own,
if equal to or less than fifty percent (50%), pursuant to local laws,
customs or regulations of any country, but such corporation, or other
business entity, shall be deemed to be an AFFILIATE for only so long as
such ownership or control exists. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, for the purpose of this Agreement, NYBC is not an AFFILIATE of
LICENSEE.
1.2 "CONTRACT MANUFACTURING" shall mean the viral inactivation processing by
LICENSEE of material supplied by or on behalf of SUPPLIERS/PURCHASERS such
that the material becomes PRODUCT, which PRODUCT (or its equivalent) is
intended for sale and/or distribution by such SUPPLIERS/PURCHASERS.
1.3 "CONTRACT MANUFACTURING SALES" shall mean the product of the number of
UNITS produced by CONTRACT MANUFACTURING and shipped to
SUPPLIERS/PURCHASERS times the price at which each UNIT is sold by the
SUPPLIERS/PURCHASERS to third parties, less allowances for return of
PRODUCTS or adjustments for defective quality. PRODUCT shall be deemed to
have been sold when first shipped and billed; provided, however, that when
transfers thereof are made between SUPPLIERS/PURCHASERS and their
affiliates, such PRODUCT shall not be deemed to have been sold until sold
to a purchaser independent of SUPPLIERS/PURCHASERS and their affiliates in
a bona fide, arm's-length transaction between unrelated parties. Payments
shall accrue hereunder only once with respect to the same UNIT of PRODUCT.
1.4 "DIRECT SALES" shall mean the total consideration received by LICENSEE
and/or its AFFILIATES from the sale, transfer or disposal of PRODUCT to
third parties, exclusive
-2-
of amounts received by LICENSEE and its AFFILIATES as a result of CONTRACT
MANUFACTURING, less allowances for return of PRODUCTS or adjustments for
defective quality. PRODUCT shall be deemed to have been sold when first
shipped and billed; provided, however, that when transfers thereof are made
between LICENSEE and its AFFILIATES, such PRODUCT shall not be deemed to
have been sold until sold to a purchaser independent of LICENSEE and its
AFFILIATES in a bona fide, arm's-length transaction between unrelated
parties. Payments shall accrue hereunder only once with respect to the same
UNIT of PRODUCT.
1.5 "EFFECTIVE DATE" of this Agreement shall mean the date of closing of the
sale of shares of common stock of LICENSEE to one or more funds controlled
by Ampersand Ventures, so long as this occurs prior to December 1, 1995.
1.6 "KNOW-HOW" shall mean the NYBC proprietary technical information relating
to the inactivation of viruses by the use of light and/or certain compounds
as described generally on Appendix A.
1.7 "PATENT RIGHTS" shall mean the NYBC patents and patent applications listed
on Appendix A relating to the inactivation of viruses by the use of light
and/or certain compounds.
1.8 "PRODUCT(S)" shall mean any product listed on Appendix B, the manufacture,
use or sale of which (1) involves the use of KNOW-HOW or (2) is covered by
a claim of PATENT RIGHTS. Appendix B may be added to during the term of
this Agreement only in the manner specified in paragraph 2.4.
1.9 "TERRITORY" shall mean worldwide.
-3-
1.10 "SUPPLIERS/PURCHASERS" shall mean non-AFFILIATES of LICENSEE who receive
PRODUCT from LICENSEE as a result of CONTRACT MANUFACTURING and who sell
and/or resell PRODUCT to third parties.

a non-exclusive license under PATENT RIGHTS and KNOW-HOW (a) to make, use,
sell, or otherwise dispose of PRODUCT, and (b) to use the methods covered
by such PATENT RIGHTS and KNOW-HOW for the manufacture, use and sale of
PRODUCT.
2.2 The license grant herein is limited to making, using, selling, or disposing

2.3 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as a
grant, by implication or otherwise, of any license except as expressly

the PATENT RIGHTS and KNOW-HOW licensed under this Agreement in the
development, manufacture or use of any product not listed on Appendix B,
unless first permitted to do so under a separate written agreement with
NYBC.
2.4 Any amendment of Appendix B to add products shall require the written
consent of NYBC. NYBC may, in its sole and unfettered discretion and under
terms and conditions acceptable
-4-
["****" indicates material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.]
to NYBC, consent to the amendment of Appendix B to include additional
products. LICENSEE may not unilaterally add any products to Appendix B.
ARTICLE III. DISCLOSURE AND IMPROVEMENTS
3.1 LICENSEE acknowledges receipt of KNOW-HOW.
3.2 NYBC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to inspect LICENSEE's
manufacturing sites, validation and/or processing records as they pertain

3.3 LICENSEE hereby grants to NYBC an irrevocable, royalty-bearing non-
exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to make, have made,
use or sell blood derived therapeutic products (exclusive of all products
licensed exclusively to LICENSEE by NYBC) under any improvements made by
LICENSEE, whether patentable or not, so long as the manufacture, use or
sale of such improvements would infringe a claim of the PATENT RIGHTS.
During the term of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall provide NYBC with copies
of all patent applications and patents including such improvements within
thirty (30) days of the filing of such applications and within thirty (30)

4.4 All payments due under this Agreement shall be made in United States
dollars. All royalty calculations hereunder shall be based on the currency

4.5 If it is necessary for LICENSEE to pay royalties under issued patents,
patent applications or know-how to any third party in order to make, have
made, use or sell PRODUCTS, LICENSEE may offset the royalties payable to
third parties against royalties payable to NYBC, provided that under no
circumstances may royalties to NYBC be reduced by more than a total of
******** (i.e. fall below ********* of DIRECT SALES and CONTRACT
MANUFACTURING SALES) in any calendar year as a result of such offsets.
ARTICLE V. REPORTS, RECORDS AND ACCOUNTING FOR ROYALTIES
5.1 Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the
term of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall forward to NYBC a written report
setting forth DIRECT SALES and CONTRACT MANUFACTURING SALES. All such
information shall be

presented on a country-by-country basis for the previous calendar quarter
and shall indicate the amount of royalties due, together with sufficient
supporting information to enable confirmation by NYBC.
5.2 LICENSEE shall keep full and accurate books of accounts and other records
in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, showing all
information necessary for NYBC to ascertain and verify the royalties
payable by LICENSEE hereunder. During the term of this Agreement, and for

ten percent (10%) or greater, then the costs of such inspection shall be
borne by LICENSEE.
5.3 On or about June 1 of each year during the term of this Agreement, LICENSEE
shall provide a written report to NYBC describing LICENSEE's efforts to
commercialize PRODUCTS, including a description of LICENSEE's efforts to
obtain any required governmental approval to market PRODUCTS. NYBC agrees
to keep such reports confidential, if requested to do so by LICENSEE.
