Other Financing: On January 14, the Company completed a private financing with the assistance of Oscar Gruss & Son, Incorporated as placement agent. Pursuant to the terms of the financing, the Company sold 1,077,540 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at a price of $6.25 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock can be converted into 5 shares of the Company's common stock, and the Company can force conversion if the Company's common stock trades above $5.00 per share. In addition to the conversion provision, the following summarizes key rights that holders of the Preferred Stock have. All summarized information is qualified by the Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Stock which was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. VOTING. So long as in excess of 35% of the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold pursuant to this Offering remains outstanding, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote for one director, as a separate class, and approval by holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, is required for certain events including (i) any issuance of a new series of shares having rights, preferences, or privileges with respect to liquidation preference, redemption or dividend rights senior or equivalent to the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) any payment or declaration of any dividends rights or any other distribution or redemption of any capital stock of the Company, (iii) any sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's property or business or any consolidation or merger with any entity in which the Company is not the survivor, (iv) an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaw, and (v) any investments of another business exceeding $1 million in the aggregate. Unless required by law, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on all other matters with class, on an as converted basis. DIVIDENDS. Each Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive non- cumulative dividends at the same rate and same time as any dividends declared on the Company's Common Stock determined on an as converted basis. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. Upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holder of each Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to received a liquidation preference equal to $6.25 per share which shall increase at the rate of 8% per share, per year, compounded annually on each anniversary date ("Liquidation Preference Amount") of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock before there are any distributions to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other securities ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock. After payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Liquidation Preference Amount, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further distribution. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets to distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to the holders of all Series A Preferred Stock, then the amount to be distributed shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any other holders of Preference Shares of equal rank. REDEMPTION. After five years, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to require the Company to repurchase from such holder each Series A Preferred Stock for the Liquidation Preference Amount. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6,270,985 after deducting sales agent commissions and expenses of the offering of approximately $463,640. The Company will use the proceeds to finance the manufacturing of the CryoSeal{TM} and BioArchive{TM} Systems and disposables, other clinical studies, obtaining regulatory approvals, and for general working capital.

Since it is the intent of the parties that the Purchasers receive freely tradable securities, in the event the Company does not file the Registration Statement within forty-five (45) days or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the Closing Date, the aggregate number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares will be immediately increased by 5% and will thereafter be increased by an additional 5% per month for each additional thirty (30) days beyond the forty-five (45) day period or the one hundred-twenty (120) day period, as the case may be, in which the Company is not in compliance with the provisions of this Section and the Company will take all required action, necessary for the solicitation of such shareholder approval as shall be necessary for the issuance of the additional shares. 11 6.2 ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS. The Company hereby agrees to: (a) Supply to each of the Purchasers one true copy of the Registration Statement (and any supplement or amendment thereto) and such number of the preliminary, final and any other prospectus and amendments thereto, prepared in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act Regulations as each Purchaser may request in order to facilitate the public sale of shares. (b) Notify each of the Purchasers immediately, and conform the notice in writing, (i) of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (including any post-effective amendment), (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the SEC, (iii) of any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (v) immediately notify each of the Purchasers at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment. (c) Use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the Closing Date; (b) sixty (60) days after the Company gives written notice to the Purchaser that all of the Purchased Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act Regulations ("Rule 144") within any three (3) month period without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and without other restrictions other than as provided in Rule 144. (d) Give the Purchasers notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statements (including any post-effective amendment) or any amendment or supplement to the final Prospectus (including any revised prospectus which the Company proposes for use by the Purchasers in connection with the offering of the Purchased Shares which differs from the prospectus on file at the SEC at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective, whether or not such revised prospectus is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act) and furnish each of the Purchasers with copies of any such amendment or supplement a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be. The term "Prospectus" shall refer to the final prospectus and any revised prospectus provided to the Purchasers from time to time thereafter and all material incorporated by reference therein. 12 (e) If any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a Purchaser, amend or supplement the Prospectus so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Prospectus as soon as possible will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a Purchaser, not misleading, and furnish to each of the Purchasers such copies of such amendment or supplement as such Purchaser shall request. (f) In the event of an underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. (g) Cause its Common Stock to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. (h) In the event that the Company files a Registration Statement on a form, other than Form S-3, or any substitute therefor, furnish to each of the Purchasers at the effective date of such Registration Statement upon request a signed counterpart, addressed to Purchaser, of (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, covering such matters as are typically addressed in opinions rendered by Company counsel to underwriters of public securities of the Company, dated the effective date of the Registration Statement and in form reasonably acceptable to the Company and each of the Purchasers, and (ii) "comfort" letters signed by the Company's independent public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company's financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, In the case of (i) and (ii) covering substantially the same matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the accountants' "comfort" letter) with respect to events subsequent to the date of the financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' `'comfort" letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities. 13 (i) Make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first month after the Effective Date, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11 (a) of the Securities Act; and (j) In connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, give the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give such persons such access to the Company's books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, its counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified the Company financial statements, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Purchasers or such underwriters or their respective counsel, in order to conduct a reasonable and diligent investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. Without limiting the foregoing, each Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment, supplement or any other document filed with respect to a registration shall be subject to review and approval by the Purchasers and their counsel. (k) The Company acknowledges that the acquisition of the Purchased Shares hereunder may cause one or more Purchasers to be deemed to be an "affiliate" under Rule 144 of the Securities Act Regulations and may limit such Purchaser's ability to sell shares of the Company not covered by an effective registration statement. Therefore, the Company agrees to maintain the effectiveness of any Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering shares of Common Stock acquired by a Purchaser other than in connection herewith for so long as the Registration Statement to be filed hereunder remains effective. 6.3 EXPENSE OF REGISTRATION. All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions, incurred in effecting any registration pursuant to this Section 6, including, without limitation, all costs of preparation and registration, filing fees, printing expenses, expenses of compliance with Blue Sky laws, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Purchasers shall be borne by the Company. 6.4 INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A(b) of the Securities Act Regulations, if applicable, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto). 14 (b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information to the Company by such Purchaser for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the obligations of each such Purchaser hereunder shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the net proceeds received by the Purchaser in connection with the sale of shares under the Registration Statement. (c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof and so long as the indemnifying party continues to defend the matter, the indemnifying party shall not be liable under this indemnity for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, provided however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its expense in any such action and participate in the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by the indemnifying party with respect to the claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between the indemnified party and any other indemnified party with respect to the claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of no more than one additional counsel for the indemnified parties per venue. 15 6.5 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages, or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party thereunder shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and each Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Purchaser shall be required to contribute an amount not to exceed the net proceeds to it from the sale of shares by it pursuant to the Registration Statement. The relative fault of the Company and each Purchaser shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by each Purchasers and the parties' relative intent and knowledge. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each director of each Purchaser, each officer of any Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contributions as such Purchaser, and each director of the Company, eachtration Statements, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 7 TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. (a) The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions") to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by any Purchaser to the Company within four days of the date a conversion notice together with one or more certificates representing the Preferred Stock being converted ("Conversion Package") are received by the Company or the Transfer Agent pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation. Prior to registration of the Conversion Share under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 3.3 hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement except for the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations. If during such time as the Registration Statement is effective or the Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form, substance and scope, that registration of a resale by such Purchaser of any of the Securities is not required under the Securities Act (whether pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise), the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, immediately instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates (without "stop transfer orders" or restrictive legends, if appropriate) in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that a breaobligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section will be inadequate and agrees that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 16 Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the Company does not deliver the foregoing certificates within four (4) days of the date the Conversion Package is delivered, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares will immediately be increased by 5% and will thereafter be increased by an additional 5% per month for each additional month in which the Company has failed to deliver such certificates. 8 ADDITIONAL REMEDY. In addition to any other remedy available to the Purchasers, in the event of any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company in this Agreement or in any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith, any Purchaser may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the Preferred Shares or Common Stock received upon conversion of the Preferred Shares held by such Purchaser at a redemption price of $6.25 per share, plus interest at a rate of 8% per annum accruing from the Closing Date compounded daily. 9 NOTICES.

For purposes of this Section 5(i), the Dilution Price shall be initially equal -five cents ($1.25).. (a) If at any time after the Series A Original Issue Date, the Corporation shall issue for cash or other consideration shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock calculated by including the aggregate proceeds per share to the Corporation upon issuance and any additional consideration per share payable to the Corporation upon any such conversion, exchange or exercise (in each case before deduction of any per share discounts, commissions, fees and other expenses of issuance and marketing), (the "New Issue Price), that is less than the Dilution Price then in effect, the Dilution Price shall be automatically adjusted down to the new Issue Price and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically adjusted to equal the result obtained by dividing the initial Purchase Price of $6.25 for each share of Series A Preferred Stock by the New Issue Price. In the event that this Section 5(i) applies, the Series A Conversion Rates shall determined by this Section 5(i)(a). For example, assume that (i) the Series A Conversion Rate was five (5) shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock; (ii) the initial Purchase Price was $6.25 per share, and (iii) the Purchaser had acquired 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $625.00. If the New Issue Price is $.50 per share, the new Dilution Price would be $.50 per share and each share of Series A Preferred Stock would be convertible into 12.5 shares of Common Stock. (b) For the purpose of this Section 5(i), the issuance by the Corporation of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock shall be deemed to involve the immediate issuance of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exchimum aggregate consideration receivable by the Corporation upon such conversion, exchange or exercise. In the event that securities are issued by the Corporation that result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 5(i) and such securities are not converted, exchanged or exercised prior to the expiration of the right of the holders of such securities to effect any such action, then immediately upon such expiration of the right of the holders of such securities to effect any such action, the Series A Conversion Rate and Dilution Price shall be recomputed (but such redetermination shall not affect the Series A Conversion Rate of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have been converted prior to such expiration) and effective immediately upon such expiration the Dilution Price and Series A Conversion Rate shall be increased to the ratio which it would have been (but reflecting and other adjustments in the Series A Conversion Rate made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 5 after the issuance of such securities) had such adjustments to the Series A Conversion Rate and Dilution Price not been made. 7 (j) ISSUE TAXES. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that maybe payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, which tax or charge shall be borne by the transferor. (k) RESERVATION OF STOCK. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock one and one-half times the number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect any conversion of any or all outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. (l) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by a holder of such stock shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, if, after aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors). (m) SUCCESSIVE CHANGES. The above provisions of this Section 5 shall similarly apply to successive combinations, subdivisions, dividends and distributions on or of the Common Stock after the Series A Original Issue Date. (n) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. On the Series A Original Issue Date, and thereafter, from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days of the occurrence of any event which would have the result of changing the Series A Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall notify the holders of the Seriesting from such change and the calculation in reasonable detail. 8 SECTION 6.
