1.             GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. For valuable consideration,
the undersigned HemaCare Corporation and Coral Blood Services, Inc., or

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) a security interest in all goods, tools,
machinery, furnishings, furniture and other equipment, now or at any time
hereafter, and prior to the termination hereof, owned or acquired by Debtor,
wherever located, whether in the possession of Debtor or any other person and
whether located on Debtor’s property or elsewhere, and all improvements,
replacements, accessions and additions thereto and embedded software included

accounts, contract rights, chattel paper (whether electronic or tangible),

intangibles and other rights to payment of every kind now or at any time
hereafter arising out of any such sale, lease, collection, exchange or other
disposition of any of the foregoing, (b) all rights to payment, including

foregoing, and (c) all rights to payment with respect to any claim or
cause of action affecting or relating to any of the foregoing (hereinafter

liabilities of Debtor, or any of them, heretofore, now or hereafter made
incurred or created, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising,
whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
determined or undetermined, including under any swap, derivative, foreign
exchange, hedge, deposit, treasury management or other similar transaction or
arrangement, and whether Debtor may be liable individually or jointly with
others, or whether recovery upon such Indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes
unenforceable.

 

3.             TERMINATION. This Agreement will terminate upon the
performance of all obligations of Debtor to Bank, including without limitation,
the payment of all Indebtedness of Debtor to Bank, and the termination of all
commitments of Bank to extend credit to Debtor, existing at the time Bank
receives written notice from Debtor of the termination of this Agreement.

 

4.             OBLIGATIONS OF BANK. Bank has no obligation to make any

respect; (b) Debtor is the owner and has possession or control of the
Collateral and Proceeds; (c) Debtor has the exclusive right to grant a
security interest in the

created hereby or as otherwise agreed to by Bank, or as heretofore disclosed by
Debtor to Bank, in writing; (e) all statements contained herein are true
and complete in all material respects; (f) no financing statement covering
any of the Collateral or Proceeds, and naming any secured party other than

this Agreement, and Debtor acknowledges that no sale or other disposition of
any Collateral, including without limitation, any Collateral which Debtor may
deem to be surplus, has been or shall be consented to or acquiesced in by Bank,
except as specifically set forth in writing by Bank.

or replacement of the Collateral; (I) to exercise all rights, powers and
remedies which Debtor would have, but for this Agreement, with respect to all
the Collateral and Proceeds subject hereto; (m) to enter onto Debtor’s
premises in inspecting the Collateral; and (n) to do all acts and things
and execute all documents in the name of Debtor or otherwise, deemed by Bank as
necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation and
perfection of its rights hereunder or enforcement of its rights hereunder after
an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 7,
the Bank shall only exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 7(a),
(b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h), (j), (k), (I) and (m) when Debtor is in
default.

 

8.             PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES,
LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS.  Debtor
agrees to pay, prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges,
liens and assessments against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure
of Debtor to do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the
sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to
discharge the same. Any such payments made by Bank shall be obligations of
Debtor to Bank, due and payable immediately upon demand, together with interest
at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and
shall be secured by the Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

 

9.             EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The
occurrence of
any of the following shall constitute an “Event
of Default” under this Agreement: (a) any default in the payment or
performance of any obligation, or any defined event of default, under (i) any
contract or instrument evidencing any Indebtedness, or (ii) any other
agreement between Debtor and Bank, including without 

 

3

 

limitation any loan agreement, relating to or executed in connection with
any Indebtedness; (b) any representation or warranty made by Debtor herein
shall prove to be incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when
made; (c) Debtor shall fail to observe or perform any obligation or
agreement contained herein; (d) any impairment in the rights of Bank in
any Collateral or Proceeds, or any attachment or like levy on any property of
Debtor; and (e) Bank, in good faith, believes any or all of the Collateral
and/or Proceeds to be in danger of misuse, dissipation, commingling, loss,
theft, damage or destruction, or otherwise in jeopardy or unsatisfactory in
character or value.

 

10.           REMEDIES.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have the  right to declare immediately due
and payable all or any Indebtedness secured hereby and to terminate any
commitments to make loans or otherwise extend credit to Debtor. Bank shall have
all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a secured party
upon default under the California Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise provided
by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to contact all persons
obligated to Debtor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons
to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Bank, and (b) to
sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. All rights,
powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative. No delay, failure
or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy
hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege
or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power,
privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or
remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Bank of any
default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof,
must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in
writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for
cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property
of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all
commercially reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in
the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in
the costs and credit risks of such dispositions. While an Event of Default
exists: (a) Debtor will deliver to Bank from time to time, as requested by
Bank, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b) Debtor will not
dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by Bank; (c) at
Bank’s request, Debtor will assemble and deliver all Collateral and Proceeds,
and books and records pertaining thereto, to Bank at a reasonably convenient
place designated by Bank; and (d) Bank may, without notice to Debtor,
enter onto Debtor’s premises and take possession of the Collateral. Debtor
further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to process or prepare any
Collateral for sale or other disposition.

 

11.           DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND
PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing
of Collateral hereunder, Bank may disclaim all warranties of title, possession,
quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral
or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Bank to the payment of
expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by
Bank toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as
Bank may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds
and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility
with respect to any of the

 

foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all
rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so
transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so transferred,
Bank shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein given.

 

4

 

12.           STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all
Indebtedness shall have been paid in full and all commitments by Bank to extend
credit to Debtor have been terminated, the power of sale or other disposition
and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to Bank hereunder
shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Bank at any time and from time
to time irrespective of the fact that the Indebtedness or any part thereof may
have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal
liability of Debtor may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased
due to the payment in full of all Indebtedness secured hereunder.

 

13.           MISCELLANEOUS. When there is more than one Debtor named
herein: (a) the word “Debtor” shall mean all or any one or more of them as
the context requires; (b) the obligations of each Debtor hereunder are
joint and several; and (c) until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in
full, no Debtor shall have any right of subrogation or contribution, and each
Debtor hereby waives any benefit of or right to participate in any of the
Collateral or Proceeds or any other security now or hereafter held by Bank.
Debtor hereby waives any right to require Bank to (i) proceed against
Debtor or any other person, (ii) marshal assets or proceed against or
exhaust any security from Debtor or any other person, (iii) perform any
obligation of Debtor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (d) make
any presentment or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance,
protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection
with any Collateral or Proceeds. Debtor further waives any right to direct the
application of payments or security for any Indebtedness of Debtor or
indebtedness of customers of Debtor.

 

14.           NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands required under
this Agreement must be in writing, addressed to Bank at the address specified
in any other loan documents entered into between Debtor and Bank and to Debtor
at the address of its chief executive office (or principal residence, if
applicable) specified below or to such other address as any party may designate
by written notice to each other party, and shall be deemed to have been given
or made as follows: (a) if personally delivered, upon delivery; (b) if
sent by mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt or three (3) days
after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class and postage prepaid; and (c) if
sent by telecopy, upon receipt.

 

15.           COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Debtor shall pay to
Bank immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances,
charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include
outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of Bank’s in-house counsel),
incurred by Bank in connection with (a) the perfection and preservation of
the Collateral or Bank’s interest therein, and (b) the realization,
enforcement and exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred by
this Agreement, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an
arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing
incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without
limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by
Bank or any other person) relating to Debtor or in any way affecting any of the
Collateral or Bank’s ability to exercise any of its rights or remedies with
respect thereto. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Debtor with interest
from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of ten percent (10%) or Bank’s Prime Rate in effect from time to time.

 

16.           SUCCESSORS;
ASSIGNS; AMENDMENT. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators,
legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties, and may be
amended or modified only in writing signed by Bank and Debtor.

17.           SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Agreement shall be  held
to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions of
this Agreement.

NOW,
THEREFORE, Bancorp, the Bank, and the Reserve Bank agree as follows:

 

Board
Oversight

 

1.             Within
60 days of this Agreement, the board of directors of the Bank shall submit to
the Reserve Bank a written plan to strengthen board oversight of the management
and operations of the Bank.  The plan
shall, at a minimum, address, consider, and include:

 

(a)           The
actions that the board of directors will take to improve the Bank’s condition
and maintain effective control over the Bank’s senior management and major
operations and activities, including but not limited to concentrations of
credit, appraisal review, asset quality, allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”),
capital, earnings, and liquidity;

 

(b)           measures
to ensure that Bank management and staff comply with approved policy
guidelines; and

 

(c)           a
description of the information and reports that will be regularly reviewed by
the board of directors in its oversight of the operations and management of the
Bank, including information on the Bank’s adversely classified assets, credit
concentrations, ALLL, capital, earnings, and liquidity.

 

Concentrations of Credit

 

2.             Within 60 days of this
Agreement, the Bank shall submit to the Reserve Bank an acceptable written plan
to strengthen the Bank’s management of commercial real estate (“CRE”)
concentrations, including steps to reduce the risk of concentrations.  The plan shall, at a minimum, include:

 

(a)           Procedures to
identify, limit, and manage concentrations of credit that are consistent with
the  Interagency Guidance on
Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management
Practices, dated December 12, 2006 (SR 07- 1); and

 

2

 

(b)           establishment of
concentration limits, including but not limited to, by loan type, geographic
location, counterparty, and borrower; and

 

(c)           a schedule for
reducing the outstanding dollar amount of CRE loans.

 

Appraisal
Review Program

 

3.             Within
60 days of this Agreement, the Bank shall submit to the Reserve Bank an
acceptable revised appraisal review program that shall, at a minimum, address,
consider, and include standards to ensure the independence of the Bank’s
appraisal review and evaluation process.

 

Asset Improvement

 

4.             (a)           The
Bank shall not, directly or indirectly, extend or renew any credit to or for
the benefit of any borrower, including any related interest of the borrower,
who is obligated to the Bank in any manner on any extension of credit or
portion thereof that has been charged off by the Bank or classified, in whole
or in part, “loss” in the report of examination of the Bank conducted by the
Reserve Bank and the California Department of Financial Institutions that
commenced on March 30, 2009 (“Report of Examination”) or in any subsequent
report of examination, as long as such credit remains uncollected.

 

(b)           The Bank shall not, directly or
indirectly, extend or renew any credit to or for the benefit of any borrower,
including any related interest of the borrower, whose extension of credit has
been classified “doubtful” or “substandard” in the Report of Examination or in
any subsequent report of examination, without the prior approval of the Bank’s
board of directors or the Bank’s loan committee.  The board of directors or loan committee
shall document in writing the reasons for the extension of credit or renewal,
specifically certifying that: (i) the extension of credit is necessary to
protect the Bank’s interest in the ultimate collection of the credit already

 

3

 

granted
or (ii) the extension of credit is in full compliance with the Bank’s
written loan policy, is adequately secured, and a thorough credit analysis has
been performed indicating that the extension or renewal is reasonable and
justified, all necessary loan documentation has been properly and accurately
prepared and filed, the extension of credit will not impair the Bank’s interest
in obtaining repayment of the already outstanding credit, and the board of
directors or loan committee reasonably believes that the extension of credit or
renewal will be repaid according to its terms. 
The written certification shall be made a part of the minutes of the
board of directors meetings, and a copy of the signed certification, together
with the credit analysis and related information that was used in the
determination, shall be retained by the Bank in the borrower’s credit file for
subsequent supervisory review.  For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “related interest” is defined as set forth
in section 215.2(n) of Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”)
(12 C.F.R. § 215.2(n)).

 

5.               (a)           Within 60 days of this Agreement, the Bank shall submit to
the Reserve Bank an acceptable written plan designed to improve the Bank’s
position through repayment, amortization, liquidation, additional collateral,
or other means on each loan or other asset in excess of $1,000,000, including
OREO, that (i) is past due as to principal or interest more than 90 days
as of the date of this Agreement; (ii) is on the Bank’s problem loan list;
or (iii) was adversely classified in the Report of Examination.  In developing the plan for each loan, the
Bank shall, at a minimum, review, analyze, and document the financial position
of the borrower, including source of repayment, repayment ability, and
alternative repayment sources, as well as the value and accessibility of any
pledged or assigned collateral, and any possible actions to improve the Bank’s
collateral position.

 

 

4
