         this Agreement) during the period commencing on the Effective Date and
         ending on the four month anniversary of the VLU Approval Date.

                  (iii) During the period commencing on the date that is six
         months prior to the Expected DFU Approval Date and ending on the
         eighteen month anniversary of the date on which Orcel'r' receives
         Regulatory Approval for the treatment of DFU, Agent shall spend a
         minimum of US$1,000,000 (the "Initial DFU Marketing Amount") in support

         provision of Reimbursement Support Services (as defined in Section 10).
         Within thirty (30) days after the end of each six-month period of each
         Target Year of the Term, Agent shall provide Ortec with a report
         setting forth in reasonably sufficient detail Agent's calculation of

                  Commissions and Transaction Fees payable to Agent as provided
                  in Section 4 and which are attributable to such invoices),
                  minus

                  (B) any amounts invoiced, due and payable by Ortec to Agent
                  pursuant to the Manufacturing Agreement during the immediately

                  (D) any amounts previously paid by Agent to Ortec pursuant to
                  this Section 3(c)(i) which are attributable to invoiced
                  Products manufactured by a Person other than Agent and which
                  are subsequently returned by customers due to Product being
                  defective, minus

                  (E) Transaction Fees attributable to a shipment of Product to
                  a customer in replacement of Product returned by such customer
                  for the reasons described in clause (C) or (D) above, minus

                  (F) shipment fees reimbursed to, or paid for by Agent on

                  (D) above;

         provided, however, that clauses (C) and (D) shall only apply in cases
         where a refund of the applicable invoiced amount is actually paid by

         calculation of the Commissions and Transaction Fees deducted from such
         payment.

                  (ii) Other than with respect to returned Products for the

                                       7




<PAGE>



         respect to any accounts receivable not collected by Agent within ninety
         (90) days (the "Allowed Collection Period") after the applicable
         invoice issuance date (excluding any Applicable Sales Tax portion of an
         uncollected invoice, each, an "Overdue Invoice Amount"), Agent shall
         pay to Ortec into the Lockbox Account, on or prior to the last business
         day of the calendar month within which one hundred (100) days (the
         "Overdue Payment Period") after the invoice issuance date falls, the
         following amount (the "Section 3(c)(ii) Amount"): (A) the Overdue
         Invoice Amount less (B) (x) any Commissions and Transaction Fees
         payable to Agent as provided in Section 4 and which are attributable to
         such Overdue Invoice Amount and (y) any Pro Rata Manufacturing Fees
         attributable to such Overdue Invoice Amount, but only to the extent of
         any overdue invoiced amounts payable by Ortec to Agent under the
         Manufacturing Agreement, in which event the amount of such Pro Rata
         Manufacturing Fees not paid into the Lockbox Account shall be deducted
         from and applied to such overdue invoiced amounts payable by Ortec to
         Agent. Prior to the end of the 1st Target Year, the parties shall
         reconsider whether the duration of the Allowed Collection Period should
         be increased, taking into consideration the average period of time (the
         "Average Reimbursement Period") it takes for customers of Products in
         the Territory to obtain reimbursement of the cost of Product from
         third-party payors (e.g., Medicare). If the Average Reimbursement
         Period, which shall be reasonably determined in good faith by Agent
         based on a survey of customers in the Territory, exceeds seventy-five
         (75) days, each of the Allowed Collection Period and the Overdue
         Payment Period shall be increased by such excess number of days;
         provided, however, that the Allowed Collection Period and the Overdue
         Payment Period shall not exceed one hundred twenty (120) days and one
         hundred fifty (130) days, respectively. In the event of the foregoing,
         Agent shall provide Ortec with the results of such survey.

                  (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, Agent shall use the
         following procedures in matching payments received from customers to
         invoices relating to sales of Products hereunder: with respect to any
         payment received from a customer, if more than one invoice is
         outstanding with respect to such customer's account, Agent shall use
         commercially reasonable efforts to match invoices to applicable
         customer payments. If after such efforts Agent is unable to match any
         payment to a particular invoice, Agent shall apply the "first-in,
         first-out" principle in determining the invoice to which such payment
         applies. One or more invoices issued on the same date shall be
         aggregated and treated as a single invoice for purposes of this
         paragraph.

         (d) Reports. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month
during the Term, Agent shall provide Ortec with monthly reports relating to
Agent's Marketing Efforts and Product sales, invoices outstanding, collections,
inventories and other matters relevant to this Agreement in respect of such
month as Ortec shall reasonably request from time to time.

         (e) Access to Information; Audit. Agent shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to a mutually agreeable independent certified public accountant
access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to such
information (including all relevant books and records of Agent) as reasonably
requested by Ortec to the extent such information relates to Agent's activities
under this Agreement. Furthermore, Ortec shall have the right (through such
accountant) to review and audit such information (including all relevant books
and records of

                                       8




<PAGE>



Agent) to its satisfaction for purposes of determining Agent's compliance with
the terms of this Agreement. Such accountant shall be bound in confidence to
disclose only noncompliance with the terms of this Agreement. If Agent has
underpaid any amount due, or spent less than any minimum marketing expenditures
required to be spent, under this Agreement resulting in a cumulative discrepancy
of more than seven and one-half percent (7.5%), Agent shall reimburse Ortec for
the costs of such audit (with the cost of the audit to be paid by Ortec in all
other cases). If any examination or audit of the records described above
discloses an under- or over-payment of amounts due hereunder, the party owing
any money hereunder shall pay the same to the party entitled thereto within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the written results of such audit pursuant to
this clause (e). Ortec's right to audit under this clause (e) shall be
exercisable no more than once per calendar year during the Term and the one year
period following the end of the Term, in each case in respect of the current or
immediately preceding calendar year.

         (f) Sales Tax. Agent shall comply with the following provisions in
connection with any Applicable Sales Tax that arises in connection with the sale
of Products pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to Section 2 of the Consent and
Agreement, on behalf of Ortec, Agent shall (i) collect Applicable Sales Tax on
behalf of Ortec from customers of Products; (ii) separately set forth any
Applicable Sales Tax on invoices issued to customers of Products; and (iii)
separately designate as "Sales Tax" any Applicable Sales Tax amounts remitted to
Ortec pursuant to Section 3(c). Ortec shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend
Agent from any and all Losses (as defined below), including any interest or
penalties, with respect to sales taxes that arise in connection with the sale of
Products pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Agent shall not be
entitled to any such indemnification or other action by Ortec with respect to
any portion of such Losses that arise as a result of the failure by Agent to
comply with the provisions of this Agreement or the Consent and Agreement. Ortec
shall be responsible for the timely payment of such sales taxes to the
appropriate governmental authorities and shall provide to Agent evidence that
such sales taxes were timely paid within five (5) days after the earlier of (x)
the date of each such payment and (y) the last date on which each such payment
shall be due and payable without interest or penalty.

         4. COMMISSIONS; TRANSACTION FEE.

         (a) Agent will be entitled to a commission on the Net Sales of each
separate order for Products (the "Commission"). The applicable Commission rate
shall be based on the cumulative aggregate amount of Product Units sold under
this Agreement, as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Cumulative Aggregate Product Units Sold               Commission Rate (of Net Sales)

                  14,501 - 42,000 Units                                      30%
        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Over 42,000 Units                                        27%
        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agent will be entitled to withhold the applicable Commission from amounts paid
by Agent to Ortec with respect to related customer invoices pursuant to Section
3(c).

                                       9




<PAGE>



         (b) In addition to Commissions, Agent will be entitled to a Transaction
Fee (as set forth in Exhibit D) per each separate order shipped by Agent for
Products under this Agreement in order to cover Agent's expenses in connection
with order processing, distribution, accounts receivable collection and
accounting. Agent will be entitled to withhold the applicable Transaction Fees
from amounts paid by Agent to Ortec with respect to related customer invoices
pursuant to Section 3(c).


         5. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall continue until the date that is six (6) years after the
Launch Date (the "Initial Expiration Date"), unless terminated earlier pursuant
to Section 11 below (the "Term"). The Term shall be automatically extended
beyond the Initial Expiration Date for successive periods of one (1) year each
unless and until either Ortec or Agent gives the other written notice, at least
six (6) months prior to the Initial Expiration Date or any anniversary thereof
to which the Term has then been extended, that the notifying party has elected
not to extend the Term beyond the Initial Expiration Date or such anniversary
thereof to which the Term has then been extended, as the case may be.


         6. PROMOTION; PRODUCT SUPPLY; THAW RINSE SYSTEM; PRICE.

         (a) Promotion. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to market
and promote the Products in the Territory in accordance with the applicable
Marketing Plan.

         (b) Source. During the Term, pursuant to, but except as provided in,
the Manufacturing Agreement, Agent shall be the exclusive source of Products for
all orders for Products solicited or received by Agent under this Agreement. At
any time during the Term in which Agent is not the exclusive source of Products
for the Territory, Ortec shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely
supply Agent with, or cause to have supplied to Agent, its requirements of
Products in connection with this Agreement consistent with maximizing sales of
Products in the Territory.

         (c) TRS Machines; TRS Trays.

                  (i) Prior to November 30, 2004, Ortec shall ensure that a
         minimum of forty (40) TRS Machines are available and ready for prompt
         shipment to Agent. Ortec shall deliver to Agent that number of such TRS
         Machines requested by Agent within seven (7) days of a delivery request
         by Agent. Such TRS Machines shall be distributed by Agent for use by
         customers of Products in the Territory. Prior to December 31, 2005, the
         parties shall agree upon a commercially reasonable plan of distribution
         with respect to the provision of additional TRS Machines to customers
         in the Territory ("TRS Distribution Plan"), taking into consideration
         the number of Product Units purchased by a customer and the cost of the
         TRS Machines at such time. Ortec shall be responsible for manufacturing
         and delivering to Agent TRS Machines pursuant to the TRS Distribution
         Plan. In addition, Ortec shall provide to Agent the operating
         instructions for the TRS Machines. Agent shall be responsible for
         distributing the TRS Machines to customers in the Territory pursuant to
         the TRS Distribution Plan. Ortec shall use all commercially

                                       10




<PAGE>



         reasonable efforts to manufacture (or cause to be manufactured), make
         available and deliver to Agent enough TRS Machines in order to satisfy
         customer demand and use of the Products in the Territory.

                  (ii) Prior to November 30, 2004, Ortec shall ensure that a
         minimum of five hundred (500) TRS Trays are available and ready for
         prompt shipment to Agent. Ortec shall deliver to Agent that number of
         such TRS Trays requested by Agent within seven (7) days of a delivery
         request by Agent. Such TRS Trays shall be distributed by Agent for use
         by customers of Products in the Territory. Within sixty (60) days prior
         to each calendar quarter, Agent shall place an order for the quantity
         of TRS Trays Agent will need for distribution to customers during such
         calendar quarter. Ortec shall ensure that the TRS Trays ordered by
         Agent are available and ready for shipment to Agent within thirty (30)
         days after such order is placed. Ortec shall deliver to Agent that
         number of TRS Trays requested by Agent within seven (7) days of each
         such delivery request (but, in no event, sooner than 30 days after the
         original order for such TRS Trays is placed by Agent). Ortec shall use
         all commercially reasonable efforts to manufacture (or cause to be
         manufactured) and deliver to Agent enough TRS Trays in order to satisfy
         customer demand and use of the Products in the Territory, taking into
         the account the fact that the total number of TRS Tray units ordered by
         Agent for distribution during any calendar quarter will likely exceed
         the total number of Product Units sold in the Territory during such
         calendar quarter by approximately ten percent of Product Unit sales.

                  (iii) Title to all TRS Machines shall remain with Ortec and
         shall never vest in Agent or customer. Title to all TRS Trays shall
         remain with Ortec until transferred to the ultimate customer and will
         never vest in Agent. Risk of loss with respect to TRS Machines and TRS
         Trays shall only vest and remain with Agent during those times in which
         Agent has actual physical custody of such items. Ortec shall be solely
         responsible for all costs and expenses in connection with the
         manufacture and delivery (including shipping costs) of TRS Machines and
         TRS Trays under this Section 6(c).

         (d) Price; Price Changes. Ortec shall retain final decision-making
authority with respect to establishing prices for the Products; provided,
however, that Ortec shall consult with Agent in the establishment of such prices
in the Territory and prior to (but not less than ten business days) making any
changes thereto. Agent shall quote and offer prices for the Products to
customers on Ortec's behalf in accordance with the prices established by Ortec,
provided that Agent may offer commercially reasonable discounts or rebates to
customers in the Territory in accordance with such guidelines as may be
negotiated, in good faith, and agreed upon (in writing) from time to time by
Ortec and Agent during the Term (it being understood and agreed that, other than
negotiating such discount guidelines in good faith with Agent, Ortec shall have
no obligation to consent to the allowance of discounts or rebates).

         7. TITLE. In accordance with the Manufacturing Agreement, after
delivery by Agent to the carrier for shipment, title and risk of loss with
respect to Products shall pass to and remain with Ortec until transferred to the
ultimate customer and will never vest in Agent thereafter.

                                       11

         8. ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING.

         (a) Agent shall establish and maintain a system for the receipt,
recording and maintenance of Adverse Event information with respect to the
Products during regular business hours, which shall comply with all applicable
FDA regulations. Agent shall promptly notify the pharmacovigilance
representative of Ortec designated pursuant to Section 8(c) of all Adverse
Events concerning a Product reported to its personnel. Ortec and Agent shall
prepare an Adverse Event reporting form that may be used by the Agent as a basis
for such reports. Agent shall promptly notify Ortec of any complaint received by
Agent in sufficient detail and in sufficient time to allow Ortec to comply with
Adverse Event regulatory requirements imposed upon Ortec with respect to the
Products in the Territory. Ortec shall promptly advise Agent of any regulatory
developments (e.g., proposed recalls, labeling and other registrational dossier
changes, etc.) affecting the Products in the Territory.

         (b) Ortec shall have sole responsibility for notifying the FDA of any
Adverse Events relating to a Product. Agent shall assist Ortec by promptly
obtaining such follow-up information to the initial report from the reporter as
Ortec may reasonably request. Ortec shall hold the master safety database for a
Product.

         (c) All Adverse Event information to be reported to Ortec under this
Section 8 shall be reported as follows:

                      Ortec International, Inc.
                      3960 Broadway
                      New York, NY 10032
                      Attention: Steven Peltier
                      Telephone: (212) 740-6999
                      Facsimile: (212) 740-2570
                      E-Mail: steve.peltier@ortecinternational.com

or to such other address, contact person, telephone number, facsimile number or
e-mail address as may be specified by Ortec in writing to Agent.

         (d) Ortec shall be responsible for making all determinations as to how
Adverse Events concerning a Product will be reported to the FDA.

         9. PRODUCT TRADEMARK; PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS. The Products shall be
promoted and sold in the Territory under the Product Trademark. During the Term,
Ortec hereby grants to Agent a royalty-free license to use the Product Trademark
for the purposes of Agent's promotional activities pursuant to this Agreement
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Agent shall utilize
the Product Trademark only in the format(s) approved by Ortec. The parties agree
that Agent shall own all right, title and interest in and to all trade dress,
logos and promotional materials created by, for or under Agent's direction in
connection with this Agreement, including all intellectual property rights
associated therewith (in each case, other than the Product Trademark)
(collectively, the "Promotional Materials"). In the event that Ortec notifies
Agent of its desire to license or acquire all or a portion of such Promotional
Materials from Agent, Ortec and Agent shall negotiate the terms and conditions
of such license or acquisition, as applicable, in good faith; provided, however,
that if the parties

                                       12




<PAGE>



cannot agree upon a royalty rate or purchase price, as applicable, within a
reasonable amount of time (but no sooner than sixty days after commencement of
negotiations), such royalty rate or purchase price shall be determined by an
independent third party investment bank, or accounting or consulting firm,
mutually agreed upon by the parties, which entity shall have experience in
valuing intellectual property rights.

         10. REIMBURSEMENT SUPPORT. During the Term, Agent shall provide
reasonable reimbursement (i.e., third-party payment for medical products)
support services to customers of Products in the Territory ("Reimbursement
Support Services"), including reasonable monitoring of customers' claims for
reimbursement.

         11. TERMINATION.

         (a) This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

                           (1) In the event of a material breach of this
                  Agreement by either party, the other party shall have the
                  right to deliver a written notice of default to the defaulting
                  party (a "Default Notice"). In the event any such breach is
                  not cured within 90 days after service of the Default Notice,
                  this Agreement shall terminate if the non-defaulting party
                  delivers a written notice of termination to the defaulting
                  party within 180 days after the expiration of such 90-day cure
                  period. The parties agree that the failure of Agent to meet
                  the minimum spending amounts in accordance with clause (ii),
                  (iii) or (iv) of Section 3(b) shall be deemed a material
                  breach of this Agreement, provided that Agent shall have the
                  opportunity to cure any such breach in accordance with this
                  Section 11(a)(1). If the Manufacturing Agreement is terminated
                  for any reason and Agent is no longer the supplier of the
                  Products for the Territory, in no event shall Agent be deemed
                  to be in breach of this Agreement nor shall Ortec have the
                  right to terminate under Section 11(a)(2), if such breach or
                  failure of Agent to meet certain performance obligations
                  (including, without limitation, Agent's obligations to meet
                  certain Minimum Sales Target Amounts under Section 11(a)(2))
                  is primarily the result of or otherwise attributable to
                  Agent's inability to timely obtain its requirements of Product
                  from any subsequent supplier of Product and/or Ortec in
                  connection with its performance under this Agreement.

                           (2) By Ortec after the twelve (12) month anniversary
                  of the Effective Date and anytime thereafter, upon six (6)
                  month's prior written notice to Agent (which notice may not be
                  sent prior to such twelve month anniversary), if the aggregate
                  sales of Product Units under this Agreement attributable to
                  each of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Target Years (and,
                  if applicable, each New Target Year (as defined in Exhibit A))
                  do not exceed the Minimum Sales Target Amount set forth in
                  Exhibit A with respect to each such Target Year or New Target
                  Year; provided, however, that (i) in the event that Agent
                  fails to meet the applicable Minimum Sales Target Amount for
                  such a Target Year or New Target Year, Ortec may only exercise
                  its right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (2)
                  prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day period following
                  end of the applicable

                                       13




<PAGE>



                  Target Year or New Target Year (e.g., if the 2nd Target Year
                  expires on March 31, 2007 and Agent fails to meet the Minimum
                  Sales Target Amount for such Target Year, Ortec must exercise
                  its termination right, if at all, prior to or on May 30,
                  2007), except that, if Ortec does not timely receive the sales
                  report described in Section 3(d) in respect of sales for the
                  last month of such Target Year or any other monthly sales
                  report due hereunder by the end of such Target Year, such
                  60-day period shall be extended by one day for each day that
                  such sales report is late, and (ii) Ortec shall have no right
                  to terminate this Agreement under this clause (2) if Agent's
                  failure to meet the applicable Minimum Sales Target Amount is
                  primarily due to (x) the unavailability of enough Product
                  Units to Agent, either from Agent's own production under the
                  Manufacturing Agreement or from third party manufacturing
                  sources arranged by Ortec, provided that this clause (x) shall
                  have no effect (i.e., Ortec shall once again have the right to
                  terminate this Agreement under and in accordance with this
                  clause (2)) in respect of the first full Target Year following
                  the expiration of the six-month period after the completion of
                  a New Custom Production Suite or the occurrence of an Other
                  Capacity Event, whichever is earlier, and each Target Year
                  thereafter, (y) a Force Majeure on the part of Agent or the
                  suspension of Ortec's license or authority to commercialize
                  Orcel'r' for the VLU or DFU indication in the Territory, or
                  (z) Ortec's failure to make available to Agent enough TRS
                  Machines in accordance with the TRS Distribution Plan and/or
                  TRS Trays for the TRS Machines already delivered in order to
                  satisfy customer demand and use of the Products in the
                  Territory, except when such failure on the part of Ortec is
                  due primarily to the failure of Agent to accurately and timely
                  forecast such demand.

                           (3) By Agent, upon six (6) month's prior written
                  notice to Ortec, if the average of the monthly sales of
                  Product Units under this Agreement attributable to any
                  consecutive six-month period during the Term, commencing with
                  the period starting on January 1, 2007, does not equal or
                  exceed 1500 Product Units (such an event, a "Section 11(a)(3)
                  Termination Event"). For the avoidance of doubt, the average
                  of monthly sales for any six-month period shall be calculated
                  by dividing the sum of all Product Units sold by Agent during
                  the applicable six-month period by six; provided, however,
                  that in the event a Section 11(a)(3) Termination Event occurs,
                  Agent may only exercise its right to terminate this Agreement
                  under this clause (3) within 45 days following the expiration
                  of the applicable six-month period.

                           (4) By either party, by written notice to the other
                  party, if the other party shall (i) voluntarily commence any
                  proceeding or file any petition seeking relief under Title 11
                  of the United States Code or any other Federal, state
                  bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership or similar
                  law (a "Bankruptcy Law"), (ii) consent to the institution of,
                  or fail to contravene in a timely and appropriate manner, any
                  such proceeding or the filing of any such petition, (iii)
                  apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver,
                  trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar official for such
                  party or for a substantial part of its property or assets,
                  (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a
                  petition filed against it in any such

                                       14

                  proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of
                  creditors, (vi) take corporate action for the purpose of

                           (7) By either party, upon the occurrence of a Change

                  Agent prior to the effective date of such termination, and
                  (iii) Agent may only terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
                  provision if Agent reasonably determines that (x) the
                  acquiring entity or successor to Ortec, as the case may be, is
                  a direct or indirect competitor of Agent or any of its
                  Affiliates or (y) such Change of Control of Ortec has or may
                  otherwise have an adverse financial impact on Agent's and/or
                  its Affiliates' business or operations.

         (b) Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the parties
shall cooperate to effect the transfer to Ortec or Ortec's designee of the
responsibilities of Agent hereunder (including, without limitation, the transfer
by Agent to Ortec or Ortec's designee of inventories of Products and accounts
receivable).

         (c) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Agent shall
promptly provide Ortec with originals or copies of all account and business
information, including, without limitation, (i) customer lists, (ii) account
records, (iii) account balances, (iv) current inventory levels and (v) other
records or information, in each case to the extent relating to the business
conducted under this Agreement, that Ortec may reasonably request.

         19. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. None of the provisions herein contained

partnership, joint venture or similar relationship be created pursuant to this
Agreement.

         22. NONWAIVER. Waiver by a party of a breach hereunder by the other

any other provision. No delay or omission by a party in exercising or availing
itself of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude the later
exercise of any such right, power or privilege by such party. No waiver shall be

granting the waiver.

         23. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute
any document or documents that may be reasonably requested from time to time by
the other party to implement or complete such party's rights or obligations

Manufacturing Agreement and the Consent and Agreement, there are no other
agreements or understandings, written or oral, between the parties, regarding
this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by a
written document executed by both parties to this Agreement, and such written
modifications shall be attached to this Agreement. If any term or other
provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced
by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or
legal substance of the transactions hereby is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to either party. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which between the parties comes as close
as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

and authority to so execute this Agreement.

         26. SECTION HEADINGS. The section headings set forth herein are for

         27. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.

         28. FORCE MAJEURE. In the event of strikes, lock-outs or other
industrial disturbances, rebellions, mutinies, epidemics, landslides, lightning,
earthquakes, fires, hurricanes or other storms, floods, sinking, drought, civil
disturbances, explosions, acts or decisions of duly constituted municipal, state
or national governmental authorities or of courts of law, as well as
impossibility to obtain equipment, supplies, fuel or other required materials,
in spite of having acted with reasonable diligence, or by reason of any other
causes which are not under the control of the party requesting the abatement of
performance, or causes due to unexpected circumstances which are not possible to
eliminate or overcome with due diligence by such party ("Force Majeure"), the
parties agree that, if either Agent or Ortec finds itself wholly or partially
unable to fulfill its respective obligations under this Agreement by reasons of
Force Majeure, the party affected shall advise such other party in writing of
its inability to perform, giving a detailed explanation of the occurrence of the
event which excuses performance as soon as possible after the cause or event has
occurred. If such notice is given, the performance of the party giving the
notification shall be abated, and any time deadlines shall be extended for so
long as performance may be prevented by Force Majeure; provided, however, that
in the event the suspension of performance continues for more than ninety (90)
days after the date of the occurrence of such

                                       19




<PAGE>



Force Majeure, and such failure to perform would constitute a material breach of
this Agreement in the absence of such Force Majeure, the nonaffected party may
terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the other party. No
party shall be required to make up any performance that was prevented by Force
Majeure.

         29. SARBANES-OXLEY COMPLIANCE. During the Term, each party shall
reasonably cooperate with the other party (the "Complying Party') in order for
the Complying Party to satisfy its obligations under Sections 302 and 906 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any rules and regulations thereto, in each case
to the extent such cooperation is related to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

                                    EXHIBIT A

                          MINIMUM SALES TARGET AMOUNTS


The Minimum Sales Target Amount for each Target Year shall equal 75% of the
Total US Forecast Amount (as defined below):

         "Total US Forecast Amount" with respect to each Target Year is defined
as:

                  1st Target Year:  10,000 Product Units
                  2nd Target Year:  25,000 Product Units
                  3rd Target Year:  40,000 Product Units
                  4th Target Year:  60,000 Product Units
                  5th Target Year:  80,000 Product Units
                  6th Target Year:  100,000 Product Units

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) Ortec does not receive
Regulatory Approval of Orcel'r' for the VLU indication prior to or on March 31,
2005, (ii) Ortec does not receive Regulatory Approval of Orcel'r' for the DFU
indication by July 1, 2007, (iii) the FDA approved label for the Product
incorporates commercially significant restrictions that could significantly
restrict usage of the Product or the patient population, or (iv) Ortec does not
pay to Agent the Construction Fee (as defined in the Manufacturing Agreement)
when such fee becomes due and payable under the Manufacturing Agreement, the
Minimum Sales Target Amounts set forth above for the Target Years shall no
longer apply, and Ortec and Agent shall renegotiate in good faith and promptly
agree upon a new Minimum Sales Target Amount for each such Target Year.

If this Agreement has not been terminated prior to the end of the ninth month of
the 6th Target Year or of each succeeding Target Year thereafter, and is
expected to remain in effect during the Target Year following each such year
(starting with the 7th Target Year, each a "New Target Year"), the parties shall
promptly negotiate in good faith and agree upon a Minimum Sales Target Amount
for each New Target Year, taking into account the then most recent sales and
forecast information available to the parties; provided, however, that the
Minimum Sales Target Amount for each New Target Year shall not be less than
75,000 Product Units.

as the amount equal to 75% of the product of (i) the Total US Forecast Amount
for such Target Year and (ii) the lower of (x) One Thousand One Hundred Dollars
($1100) and (y) the average price of a Product Unit during the prior Target
Year.

     o Bonus/Commission
     o Benefits
       o Charged as a Fixed Percentage of Base + Bonus/Commission

                                 TRANSACTION FEE

The Transaction Fee amount applicable to an order of Products shall be
calculated based upon the (i) the size (i.e., small box or large box) and (ii)

<S>                                                              <C>                         <C>
Raw Materials (Box, Dry Ice, etc)                                $ 22.91                     $ 32.34
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freight                                                          $ 30.25                     $ 43.89
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labor                                                            $ 25.98                     $ 25.98

Total                                                            $ 79.14                    $ 102.21
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Example: If a customer submits an order for 12 Product Units, the Transaction
Fee applicable to such order shall equal $181.35. The calculation is as follows:

                             $79.14  (Small Box containing 2 Product Units)

                           + $102.21 (Large Box containing 10 Product Units)
                           -------------------------------------------------

                             $181.35 (Total Transaction Fee/Order)

* The parties acknowledge and agree that Agent has had no participation or
involvement in the design of the Product package or the shipping/stability
studies conducted with respect to such packaging. In addition, the parties
acknowledge and agree that the Transaction Fee has been determined based upon
information provided to Agent by Ortec relating to dry ice requirements and
stability. In the event that such information is incorrect, the Transaction Fee
shall be promptly adjusted in accordance with the following paragraph.

** On a quarterly basis during the first year after Regulatory Approval of the
VLU indication and on an annual basis thereafter, Agent shall evaluate the
actual costs of raw materials, freight and labor associated with order
entry/processing and distribution (including obtaining Product Units from
inventory, packaging, labeling and shipment) of Products hereunder. The
Transaction Fee shall be adjusted upwards or downwards in order to take into
account any increase or decrease, respectively, of such actual costs (in the
aggregate). Agent shall provide Ortec with written notice of any such
adjustments at least 30 days prior to implementation thereof, together with
reasonable data supporting any such increase or decrease.
