                              TERMINATION AGREEMENT


TERMINATION AGREEMENT dated the 1st day of March, 2004, and effective as of
October 1, 2003 (the "Agreement"), by and between Viral Genetics, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Viral Genetics"), and New York International Commerce
Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("NYIC").


                               WI T N E S S E T H:


WHEREAS, Viral Genetics and NYIC are parties to a Mutual Cooperation and Joint
Venture Agreement, dated March 25, 2002, as amended by the Amendment to the
Mutual Cooperation and Joint Venture Agreement made and entered into as of July
1, 2003 (jointly, the "Joint Venture Agreement"), pursuant to which Viral
Genetics and NYIC agreed to jointly exploit the Intellectual Property Rights and
Products in the Territory; and;


WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Parties agree to
terminate the Joint Venture Agreement and the cooperative venture contemplated
therein.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal adequacy of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:


1. Definitions. Except for those terms expressly defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the same meanings herein as are given to such terms
under the Joint Venture Agreement.

2. Termination; Distribution of Assets. Upon the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Joint Venture Agreement and the cooperative venture contemplated
under the Joint Venture Agreement is hereby terminated and Viral Genetics and
NYIC shall not have any obligations or duties to the other under the Joint
Venture Agreement, except as expressly specified herein.

3. Exploitation in the Territory, Assistance of NYIC. NYIC irrevocably agrees
that Viral Genetics shall be free to exploit the Intellectual Property in the
Territory and to market, manufacture and sell Products in the Territory as Viral
Genetics determines appropriate. Notwithstanding the termination of the Joint
Venture Agreement as provided for herein, NYIC

                                       1
<PAGE>

agrees that during the Term (as hereinafter defined) NYIC shall have its
directors and officers reasonably available to consult (in the form of providing
advice) with Viral Genetics about doing business in the PRC and elsewhere in the
Territory, upon the mutual convenience of the parties. It is agreed that the
directors and officers of NYIC shall not be required to spend any specific
amount of time providing the assistance to Viral Genetics as contemplated by
this Section 3. The directors and officers of NYIC shall not be required to
travel in connection with any such consulting session and Viral Genetics
acknowledges that the provision of any requested consulting services is subject
to the other commitments of the directors and officers of NYIC. Viral Genetics
shall pay for in advance any out-of-pocket costs and expenses that may be
incurred in providing any requested consulting services contemplated by this
Section 3.

4. Purchase of Assets. NYIC agrees to sell and Viral Genetics agrees to purchase
all of the assets of NYIC located in the People's Republic of China, as listed
in Schedule A (the "Assets"), for a purchase price of $1. The parties agrees to
execute, cause or give effect to such other agreements, title transfers,
assignments, or other documents or actions as are required in order to effect
said asset purchase. The parties shall act as promptly as reasonably possible.
The Parties agree that the cost of establishing clear title by NYIC to the
Assets would be prohibitive in relation to the estimated aggregate value of the
Assets and given their location in China. In lieu of this, NYIC represents in
good faith that NYIC has no knowledge of any circumstances that would preclude
the legal transfer of title or other valid form of ownership to Viral under this
Agreement, and to the best of its knowledge, the Assets represent physical goods
which exist as of the date hereof.. NYIC makes no representation as to the
physical condition of the Assets, and Viral accepts such Assets in "AS IS" and
"WHERE IS" condition. NYIC forgoes any and all claims to the Assets, whether
past, present or future.

5. Mr. Richard Liu. NYIC agrees that notwithstanding anything set forth in the
Joint Venture Agreement, following the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Mr. Richard Liu ("Liu") shall resign as an officer of NYIC and Viral Genetics
shall be free to hire or otherwise retain the services of Liu. Concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Viral Genetics shall use its best
efforts to cause Liu to grant to NYIC, and NYIC shall grant to Liu a general
release relating to any matter arising out of Liu being an officer, director or
employee of NYIC or in any way relating to the transactions contemplated by the
Joint Venture Agreement from the beginning of time to the date of the release.
The release from Liu shall be in form, substance and scope that is reasonably
satisfactory to NYIC. Failure to obtain such release shall not affect the right
of Viral Genetics to employ Liu pursuant to this Section 5.

6. Consideration. In consideration of NYIC agreeing to terminate the Joint
Venture Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
         (a) Royalty.
                  (i) Viral Genetics agrees that either it or any other present
         or future entity through which they may engage in business, operations
         or activities in the Territory, shall pay a royalty to NYIC equal to
         five percent (5%) (the "Royalty") of all Gross Profits obtained by them
         from the sale of Products in the Territory, for the period commencing
         on the date of this Agreement and ending fifteen (15) years from and
         including said date. There shall be no minimum Royalty payable to NYIC.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  (ii) The Royalty will be paid on a calendar quarterly basis,
         no later than forty-five (45) days after the applicable quarter and
         each payment shall be accompanied by a statement (the "Royalty
         Statement"), which shall be certified as being accurate by Viral
         Genetics' Chief Financial Officer, which shall set forth in reasonable
         detail the calculation of Gross Profits for the quarter and the amount
         of the Royalty payable to NYIC. The royalty shall be paid to NYIC in
         U.S. Dollars.
                  (iii) NYIC shall have the right to dispute any Royalty
         Statement that it objects to and to conduct an audit (using experts and
         advisors chosen by NYIC) of Viral Genetics solely for purposes of
         determining the amount of the Royalty payable to NYIC. NYIC shall bear
         its own costs and expenses incurred with any such dispute or audit;
         provided that if as a result thereof the amount of the Royalty payable
         to NYIC is increased from that which was shown on the Royalty Statement
         by more than $10,000, then Viral Genetics shall reimburse NYIC for such
         costs and expenses. Said audit shall be conducted in a manner that does
         not interfere with the ability of Viral Genetics to conduct its day to
         day business, or otherwise materially impact Viral Genetics'
         operations.
                  (iv) NYIC shall not have the right to dispute any Royalty
         Statement, unless NYIC notifies Viral Genetics in writing within 180
         days after NYIC's receipt of the applicable Royalty Statement that NYIC
         disputes the Royalty Statement, and such notice shall describe in
         reasonable detail the nature of the dispute.
                  (v) For purposes hereof, "Gross Profits" shall be defined as
         in the Joint Venture Agreements. For purposes of determining Gross
         Profits and the amount of the Royalty payable to NYIC, any amounts
         which are included in any Gross Profits which are received by Viral
         Genetics in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted to
         U.S. Dollars as of the last day of the relevant quarter, regardless of
         whether or not such amounts were actually so converted or repatriated
         out of the Territory.

         (b) Other Consideration. Within not less than five (5) business days of
the execution and delivery of this Agreement
                  (i) Viral Genetics shall deliver to NYIC certificates
         representing o (o) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the common
         stock of Viral Genetics;
                  (ii) Viral Genetics shall deliver to NYIC options to purchase

                  stock of Viral Genetics at a price of $o per share,
                  exercisable until April 1, 2007;
                           (2) an option to purchase o (o) shares of the common
                  stock of Viral Genetics at a price of $o per share,
                  exercisable until April 1, 2007;

         it has been in a confidential relationship with Viral Genetics and has
         had access to non-public confidential information and trade secrets of
         Viral Genetics (collectively, "Viral Genetics Confidential

         lists, marketing and sales strategies and procedures, computer
         programs, databases and software, supplier, vendor and service

         disclosure, becomes generally known to the public; (iii) information

         secrecy to Viral Genetics; (iv) information the disclosure of which is
         compelled by applicable law, regulation or subpoena (including judicial

         in the event that NYIC is requested or required by applicable law,
         regulation or subpoena to disclose any Viral Genetics Confidential
         Information, NYIC agrees, to the extent practicable, to provide Viral
         Genetics with prompt written notice of such request or requirement so
         that Viral Genetics may seek an appropriate protective order or relief
         therefrom or may waive the requirements of this Section 13(a). If,
         failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver
         hereunder, NYIC is compelled to disclose Viral Genetics Confidential

         Confidential Information"). NYIC Confidential Information includes, but

         price lists, marketing and sales strategies and procedures, computer
         programs, databases and software, supplier, vendor and service

         NYIC Confidential Information and not use or permit the use of, or
         disclose, discuss, communicate or transmit or permit the disclosure,
         discussion, communication or transmission of, any NYIC Confidential

         that was known by Viral Genetics prior to entering into the Joint
         Venture Agreement; (ii) information that, by means other than
         disclosure by Viral Genetics, becomes generally known to the public;
         (iii) information that becomes available to Viral Genetics on a
         nonconfidential basis from a source other than NYIC; provided, however,
         that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or
         other obligation of secrecy to NYIC; (iv) information, contacts,
         strategies, relationships, or actions related to, or learned by, Viral

         any plan, idea, proposal, or strategy for obtaining any license and
         effecting distribution of Viral Genetics products in Asia.; or (v)
         information the disclosure of which is compelled by applicable law,
         regulation or subpoena (including, without limitation, judicial or
         administrative proceedings and legal process). In that connection, in
         the event that Viral Genetics is requested or required by applicable
         law, regulation or subpoena to disclose any NYIC Confidential
         Information, Viral Genetics agrees , to the extent practicable, to
         provide NYIC with prompt written notice of such request or requirement
         so that NYIC may seek an appropriate protective order or relief
         therefrom or may waive the requirements of this Section 13(b). If,
         failing

                                       6
<PAGE>

         the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder,
         Viral Genetics is compelled to disclose NYIC Confidential Information
         under risk of liability for contempt or other censure or penalty, it
         may disclose such NYIC Confidential Information, but only to the extent
         so required.

13. Non-Disturbance of Relationships. For so long as NYIC is receiving payment
of the Royalty hereunder, and for an additional ten (10) years following the
Term, if Viral Genetics has complied with all of its obligations hereunder, NYIC
shall not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, whether as a stockholder,
lender, instructor, advisor or consultant, engage in any business or activity
anywhere in the world which is competitive with the business and activities of
Viral Genetics or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

14. Waiver of Notice. Each of NYIC and Viral Genetics hereby waive any notice
period which may be required in the Joint Venture Agreement or otherwise.

15. Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by NYIC of Viral
Genetics of any of the provisions of Sections 13 or 14 hereof, the parties
hereto shall be entitled to an injunction (both temporary and permanent) to be
issued by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to restrain such other
party from committing or continuing any such violation, breach and other
equitable relief (in each case without being required to post a bond or other
security or to establish irreparable harm or to prove any actual damages). In
any proceeding for an injunction, the parties agree that their ability to obtain
damages shall not be a bar or be interposed as a defense to the granting of a
temporary or permanent injunction against them. Each of the parties acknowledges
that the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of any
breach as aforesaid and that such parties may suffer irreparable damage and
injury in the event of such a breach. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as prohibiting the parties hereto from pursuing any other remedy or
remedies available to them in respect of such breach or threatened breach. In
addition, if any term or provision of Sections 13 or 14 shall be held invalid or
unenforceable because of its duration, geographic scope or for any other reason,
the court making such determination shall have the power to modify such
provision (whether by limiting the geographic scope, reducing the duration or
otherwise to the minimum extent necessary to make such term or provision valid
and enforceable), and such term or provision shall be enforceable in such
modified form.

16. Indemnification.
         (a) Viral Genetics hereby indemnifies and defends NYIC and each of
         NYIC's officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, advisors

         NYIC Indemnitee harmless from, any loss, liability, obligation,
         deficiency, damage or expense including, without limitation, interest,
         penalties, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively,
         "Damages"), that any NYIC Indemnitee may suffer or incur based upon,
         arising out of, relating to or in connection with (whether or not in
         connection with any third party claim): (i) any breach of any
         representation or warranty made by Viral Genetics contained in this
         Agreement; (ii) the failure of Viral Genetics to perform or to comply
         with any covenant or condition required to be performed or complied
         with by Viral Genetics in accordance with this

                                       7
<PAGE>

         Agreement; (iii) third party claims relating to any of the Products;
         and (iv) any of the business or activities that may be conducted,
         directly or indirectly, by Viral Genetics in the Territory or
         otherwise.
         (b) NYIC hereby indemnifies and defends Viral Genetics and each of the
         officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, advisors or
         representatives of Viral Genetics (each, a "Viral Genetics Indemnitee")
         against, and holds each Viral Genetics Indemnitee harmless from, any
         Damages that such Viral Genetics Indemnitee may suffer or incur arising
         from, related to or in connection with: (i) any breach of any
         representation or warranty made by NYIC contained in this Agreement;
         (ii) NYIC's failure to perform or to comply with any covenant or
         condition required to be performed or complied with by NYIC in
         accordance with this Agreement; (iii) the termination of the Joint
         Venture Agreements and (iv) the issuance of shares and options pursuant
         to the assignments contained in Section 6 (b)(iii) hereof.
         (c) Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims.
         (i) Promptly after notice to an indemnified party of any claim or the
         commencement of any action or proceeding, including any actions or
         proceedings by a third party (hereafter referred to as "Proceeding" or
         "Proceedings"), involving any Damage referred to in this Section, such
         indemnified party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect
         thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to this
         Section, give written notice to the indemnifying party, setting forth
         in reasonable detail the nature thereof and the basis upon which such
         party seeks indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the
         failure of any indemnified party to give such notice shall not relieve
         the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the
         extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the
         failure to give such notice.
         (ii) In the case of any Proceeding by a third party against an
         indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall, upon notice as
         provided above, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
         satisfactory to the indemnified party, and, after notice from the
         indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its assumption of the
         defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such
         indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred
         by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof (but
         the indemnified party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
         participate at its own cost and expense in such defense by counsel of
         its own choice) or for any amounts paid or foregone by the indemnified
         party as a result of any settlement or compromise thereof that is
         effected by the indemnified party (without the written consent of the
         indemnifying party).
         (iii) Anything in this Section 15(c) notwithstanding, if both the
         indemnifying party and the indemnified party are named as parties or
         subject to such Proceeding and either party determines with advice of
         counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it
         that are different from or additional to those available to the other
         party or that a material conflict of interest between such parties may
         exist in respect of such Proceeding, then the indemnifying party may
         decline to assume the defense on behalf of the indemnified party or the
         indemnified party may retain the defense on its own behalf, and, in
         either such case, after notice to such effect is duly given hereunder
         to the other party, the indemnifying party shall be relieved of its
         obligation to assume the defense on behalf of the indemnified party,
         but shall be required to pay any legal or other expenses

                                       8
<PAGE>

         including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
         disbursements, incurred by the indemnified party in such defense.
         (iv) If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such
         Proceeding, the indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the
         indemnifying party and shall appear and give testimony, produce
         documents and other tangible evidence, allow the indemnifying party
         access to the books and records of the indemnified party (to the extent
         they are applicable to the Joint Venture or this Agreement) and
         otherwise assist the indemnifying party in conducting such defense. No
         indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party,
         consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or
         compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
         giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a
         release from all liability in respect of such claim or Proceeding.
         Provided that proper notice is duly given, if the indemnifying party
         shall fail promptly and diligently to assume the defense thereof, then
         the indemnified party may respond to, contest and defend against such
         Proceeding and may make in good faith any compromise or settlement with
         respect thereto, and recover from the indemnifying party the entire
         cost and expense thereof including, without limitation, reasonable
         attorneys' fees and disbursements and all amounts paid or foregone as a
         result of such Proceeding, or the settlement or compromise thereof. The
         indemnification required hereunder shall be made by periodic payments
         of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or
         defense, as and when bills or invoices are received or loss, liability,
         obligation, damage or expense is actually suffered or incurred.

17. Publicity. Neither Viral Genetics or NYIC shall issue or make, or cause to
have issued or made, the publication or dissemination of any press release or
other public announcement or disclose any matter relating to the existence of
this Agreement, the other documents and the transactions contemplated hereby
without the prior written consent of the other, except as may be required
pursuant to applicable law, regulation or subpoena. Either party to this
Agreement shall have the right to publicize the existence of the Agreement but
not the material terms thereof, except that NYIC specifically consents to the
disclosure of the existence and material terms of this Agreement in the annual
Form 10-KSB filing of Viral with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 2003. If either party intends to
publicize this Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of a press
release), then the prior written approval of the other party shall be required,
and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

18. Further Assurances. From time to time prior to, at and after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, Viral Genetics and NYIC shall execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such further documents and
instruments and take such further action as Viral Genetics or NYIC may
reasonable request in order to more effectively give effect to this Agreement.

19. Miscellaneous.

         of the parties hereto shall survive the date hereof.
         (b) Successors and Assigns; Assignment; Intended Beneficiaries. This
         Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Viral
         Genetics and NYIC and their respective

<PAGE>

         heirs, successors and permitted assigns. For purposes hereof,
         successors of Viral Genetics and NYIC shall include, without
         limitation, any corporation or corporations acquiring, directly or
         indirectly, all or substantially all of the assets of Viral Genetics
         and NYIC, respectively, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase,
         lease or otherwise. No party shall assign this Agreement or delegate
         any of their obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
         the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NYIC may elect to
         assign portions of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 3 to
         various third parties ("NYIC Assignees"). Viral hereby provides its
         consent to such assignment(s) provided that NYIC and each of the NYIC
         Assignees shall execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the
         form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Further, in the event that any such
         assignment includes assignment of shares and or options, each NYIC
         Assignee shall provide to Viral a standard investor representation
         letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

         (c) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
         of this Agreement, or part of any provision of this Agreement, shall
         not affect the other provisions or parts hereof, and this Agreement
         shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable
         provisions or parties were omitted.
         (d) Expenses. Each party shall pay its own expenses in connection with
         this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
         (e) Amendment; Entire Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified,
         amended, altered or supplemented, except by a written agreement
         executed by each of the parties hereto. This Agreement, including the
         schedules and exhibits hereto, and the instruments and other documents
         delivered pursuant to this Agreement contain the entire understanding
         and agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
         supersedes all prior and/or contemporaneous understandings and
         agreements of any kind and nature (whether written or oral) among the
         parties with respect to such subject matter, all of which are merged
         herein.
         (f) Waiver. Any waiver by Viral Genetics, on the one hand, and NYIC, on
         the other hand, of any breach of or failure to comply with any
         provision or condition of this Agreement by the other party shall not
         be construed as, or constitute, a continuing waiver of such provision
         or condition, or a waiver of any other breach of, or failure to comply
         with, any other provision or condition of this Agreement, any such
         waiver to be limited to the specific matter and instance for which it
         is given. No waiver of any such breach or failure or of any provision
         or condition of this Agreement shall be effective unless in a written
         instrument signed by the party granting the waiver. No failure or delay
         by either party to enforce or exercise its rights hereunder shall be
         deemed a waiver hereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
         such right or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce
         such rights, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
         exercise of any other right.
         (g) Notices. All notices, demands, consents, requests, instructions and
         other communications to be given or delivered or permitted under or by
         reason of the provisions of this Agreement or in connection with the
         transactions contemplated hereby shall be in writing and shall be
         deemed to be delivered and received by the intended recipient as
         follows: (a) if personally delivered, on the Business Day of such

         cannot be delivered because of a changed address of which no notice was
         given (in accordance with this Section 18), or the refusal to accept
         same, the notice, demand, consent, request, instruction or other
         communication shall be deemed received on the second Business Day the
         notice is sent (as evidenced by a sworn affidavit of the sender). All
         such notices, demands, consents, requests, instructions and other
         communications will be sent to the following addresses or facsimile

         (h) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by
         and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California
         applicable to agreements made and to be performed in that state,

         laws which would result in the application of the laws of another
         jurisdiction. This

                                       11
<PAGE>

         Agreement shall be construed and interpreted without regard to any
         presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted.
         Each of the parties unconditionally and irrevocably consents to the
         exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of California and the
         Federal District Court for the _____ District of California with
         respect to any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
         this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby, and each of the
         parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any objection to
         venue in any such Court, and agrees that service of any summons,
         complaint, notice or other process relating to such suit, action or
         other proceeding may be effected in the manner provided in Section
         18(g). Each of the parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
         waives the right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or proceeding
         arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions
         contemplated hereby.
         (i) Severability. The parties agree that should any provision of this
         Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
         jurisdiction, that holding shall be effective only to the extent of
         such invalidity, illegally or unenforceability without invalidating or
         rendering illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and
         any such invalidity, illegally or unenforceability in any jurisdiction
         shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
         other jurisdiction. It is the intent of the parties that this Agreement
         be fully enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
         (j) Counterparts; Headings; etc. This Agreement may be executed in two
         or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate
         counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an
         original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one
         and the same document. This Agreement shall become effective when one
         or more counterparts, taken together, shall have been executed and
         delivered by all of the parties. The section headings contained in this
         Agreement (including, without limitation, section headings and headings
         in the exhibits and schedules) are inserted for reference purposes only

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

THE HOLDER OF THIS OPTION, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, BOTH WITH RESPECT TO THE OPTION
AND COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE OPTION, AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER
THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE LAWS
OF THE APPLICABLE STATE OR A "NO ACTION" OR INTERPRETIVE LETTER FROM THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, AND ITS COUNSEL, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OR
TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH STATE
STATUTES.

         This is to certify that, for value received, [name] (the "Optionee") is
entitled to purchase from VIRAL GENETICS, INC. (the "Company" or "Corporation"),
on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of
__________________ shares ("Option Shares") of the Company's common stock, par
value $0.001 (the "Common Stock"), at the purchase price of $[__] per share
("Option Price"). Upon exercise of this option in whole or in part, a
certificate for the Option Shares so purchased shall be issued and delivered to
the Optionee. If less than the total option is exercised, a new option of
similar tenor shall be issued for the unexercised portion of the options
represented by this Agreement.

         This option is granted subject to the following further terms and
conditions:

         1.       This option shall vest and be exercisable immediately. The
                  right to exercise this option with respect to any of the
                  Option Shares shall terminate on April 1, 2007. In order to
                  exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the
                  Option Shares for which this option is at the time
                  exercisable, Optionee (or in the case of exercise after
                  Optionee's death, Optionee's executor, administrator, heir or
                  legatee, as the case may be) must take the following actions:

         (a)      Deliver to the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation an
                  executed notice of exercise in substantially the form of that
                  attached to this Agreement (the "Exercise Notice") in which
                  there is specified the number of Option Shares which are to be
                  purchased under the exercised option.

         (b)      Pay the aggregate Option Price for the purchased shares
                  through full payment in cash or by check made payable to the
                  Corporation's order;

                                      A-1
<PAGE>

         (c)      Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the
                  person or persons exercising the option (if other than
                  Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

         (d)      For purposes of this Agreement, the Exercise Date shall be the
                  date on which the executed Exercise Notice shall have been
                  delivered to the Company. Payment of the Option Price for the
                  purchased shares must accompany such Exercise Notice.

         (e)      Upon such exercise, the Company shall issue and cause to be
                  delivered with all reasonable dispatch (and in any event
                  within five business days of such exercise) to or upon the
                  written order of the Optionee at its address, and in the name
                  of the Optionee, a certificate or certificates for the number
                  of full Option Shares issuable upon the exercise together with
                  such other property (including cash) and securities as may
                  then be deliverable upon such exercise. Such certificate or
                  certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the
                  Optionee shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of
                  such Option Shares as of the Exercise Date.

         2. The Optionee acknowledges that the shares subject to this option
have not and will not be registered as of the date of exercise of this option
under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. The Optionee
acknowledges that this option and the shares issuable on exercise of the option,
when and if issued, are and will be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule
144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any
other applicable state registration requirements. The Company is under no
obligation to register the securities under the Securities Act or under
applicable state statutes. In the absence of a registration or an available
exemption from registration, sale of the Option Shares may be practicably
impossible.

         3. The Company, during the term of this Agreement, will obtain from the
appropriate regulatory agencies any requisite authorization in order to issue
and sell such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Agreement.

         4. The number of Option Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
option and the Option Price per share shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time subject to the following terms. If the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company are increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares of the Company through reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock
split, the Company or its successors and assigns shall make an appropriate and
proportionate adjustment in the number or kind of shares, and the per-share
Option Price thereof, which may be issued to the Optionee under this Agreement
upon exercise of the options granted under this Agreement. The purchase rights
represented by this option shall not be exercisable with respect to a fraction
of a share of Common Stock. Any fractional shares of Common Stock arising from
the dilution or other adjustment in the number of shares subject to this option
shall rounded-up to the nearest whole share.

         5. The Company covenants and agrees that all Option Shares which may be
delivered upon the exercise of this option will, upon delivery, be free from all
taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the purchase thereof; provided, that
the Company shall have no obligation with respect to any income tax liability of
the Optionee and the Company may, in its discretion, withhold such amount or
require the Optionee to make such provision of funds or other consideration as
the Company deems necessary to satisfy any income tax withholding obligation
under federal or state law.

                                      A-2
<PAGE>

         6. The Company agrees at all times to reserve or hold available a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to cover the number of Option Shares
issuable upon exercise.

         7. This option shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights
or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, or to any other rights
whatsoever, except the rights herein expressed, and no dividends shall be
payable or accrue in respect of this option or the interest represented hereby
or the Option Shares purchasable hereunder until or unless, and except to the
extent that, this option shall be exercised.

         8. The Company may deem and treat the registered owner of this option
as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

         9. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be
invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not be construed as rendering any other provisions
contained herein invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions shall
be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or
unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

         10. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the state of California, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof.

         11. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be
binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the person to whom an
option is granted hereunder, and such person's heirs, executors, administrators,
legatees, personal representatives, assignees, and transferees.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this option to be executed
on the ___ day of __________, 200_, by the signature of its duly authorized
officer.

foregoing option and acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions set

TO:      Viral Genetics, Inc.

         The Optionee, holder of the attached option, hereby irrevocable elects

         If acquired without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("Securities Act"), the Optionee represents that the Common Stock is
being acquired without a view to, or for, resale in connection with any
distribution thereof without registration or other compliance under the
Securities Act and applicable state statutes, and that the Optionee has no
direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting
of such an undertaking. The Optionee understands that the Common Stock has not
been registered, but is being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under
the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions by
an issuer not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the
Common Stock may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with these
exemptions. The Optionee acknowledges that the Common Stock must be held and may
not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Company is under no obligation to register the Common Stock under
the Securities Act, except as provided in the Agreement for the option. The
certificates representing the Common Stock will bear a legend restricting
transfer, except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
statutes.

         The Optionee agrees and acknowledges that this purported exercise of
the option is conditioned on, and subject to, any compliance with requirements
of applicable federal and state securities laws deemed necessary by the Company.

EXHIBIT C

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS


Viral Genetics, Inc.
905 Mission Street
South Pasadena, CA 91030

Re:      Acquisition of Common Stock and or Options to Purchase Common Stock

Gentlemen:

         In connection with the acquisition by the undersigned of the of common
stock and/or options to purchase common stock, including the common stock
underlying such options (collectively the "Securities") of Viral Genetics, Inc.,
in a private transaction from New York International Commerce Group, Inc., the
undersigned represents that the Securities are being acquired without a view to,
or for, resale in connection with any distribution of such Securities or any
interest therein without registration or other compliance under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and that the undersigned has no
direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting
of such an undertaking.

         The undersigned understands that the Securities have not been
registered, but are being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the
Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions not
involving any public offering and transaction by a person other than an issuer,
underwriter, or dealer, and that any disposition of the subject Securities may,
under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make
the undersigned an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. It is
understood that the definition of an "underwriter" focuses on the concept of
"distribution" and that any subsequent disposition of the subject Securities can
only be effected in transactions that are not considered distributions.
Generally, the term "distribution" is considered synonymous with "public
offering" or any other offer or sale involving general solicitation or general
advertising. Under present law, in determining whether a distribution occurs
when securities are sold into the public market, under certain circumstances one
must consider the availability of public information regarding the issuer, a
holding period for the securities sufficient to assure that the persons desiring
to sell the securities without registration first bear the economic risk of
their investment, and a limitation on the number of securities which the
stockholder is permitted to sell and on the manner of sale, thereby reducing the
potential impact of the sale on the trading markets. These criteria are set
forth specifically in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. After one
year from the date the Securities are fully paid for and the subscription is
accepted by the issuer, all as calculated in accordance with Rule 144(d), sales
of the Securities in reliance on Rule 144 can only be made in limited amounts in
accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule. After two years from the
date the Securities are fully paid for, as calculated in accordance with Rule
144(d), they can generally be sold without meeting these conditions provided the
holder is not (and has not been for the preceding three months) an affiliate of
the issuer.

         The undersigned acknowledges that the Securities must be held and may
not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. The issuer is under no obligation to register the
Securities under the Securities Act or under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as may be expressly agreed to by it in
writing. If Rule 144 is available, and no assurance is given that it will

                                      C-1
<PAGE>

be, initially only routine sales of such Securities in limited amounts can be
made in reliance on Rule 144 in accordance with the terms and conditions of that
rule. The issuer is under no obligation to the undersigned to make Rule 144
available, except as may be expressly agreed to by it in writing. In the event
Rule 144 is not available, compliance with Regulation A or some other disclosure
exemption may be required before the undersigned can sell, transfer, or
otherwise dispose of such Securities without registration under the Securities
Act. The issuer's registrar and transfer agent will maintain a stop transfer
order against the registration of transfer of the Securities, and the
certificates representing the Securities will bear a legend in substantially the
following form so restricting the sale of such Securities:

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
         UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (the "Securities Act"),
         AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144
         PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
         FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
         EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

         The issuer may refuse to register transfer of the Securities in the
absence of registration under federal securities laws or compliance with Rule
144, unless the undersigned furnishes the issuer with a "no action" or
interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission or an opinion
of counsel reasonably acceptable to the issuer stating that the transfer is
proper. Further, unless such letter or opinion states that the Securities are
free of any restrictions under the Securities Act, the issuer may refuse to
transfer the Securities to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to the
issuer the same representations and agree to the same conditions with respect to
such Securities as set forth herein. The issuer may also refuse to transfer the
Securities if any circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the
transferee's representations are not accurate.
