Should any complications occur during labour, the discretion to collect CB and/or CTC is entirely on the medical service provider of the Clients. The medical service provider in no way acts as an agent of Lifeline and therefore, collection of CB and/or CTC cannot be guaranteed by Lifeline and therefore the Clients release from liability and waive all claims against Lifeline and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and consultants with regards to the collection of the CB and/or CTC. d. Lifeline does not provide any guarantee against any possible loss due to natural disasters or any other cause which is reasonably beyond Lifeline s control, or any Act of God, which may cause destruction or deterioration to the CB and/or the CTC, for any reason other than Lifeline s gross negligence.

The Clients further acknowledge and accept that Lifeline is not responsible for the actions of others including but not limited to the Client s medical service provider, the hospital or its staff, and transporters of the CB and/or the CTC. 7. Informed Consent a. The Clients hereby acknowledge, declare and accept that they have full knowledge of the terms set out in this Agreement and that they are bound by the said terms and that that they have been fully informed and fully understand the nature of the Service(s) provided by Lifeline and its potential dangers and risks. b. The Clients acknowledge, understand and accept: (i) that alternative sources of stem cells exist, and that cells harvested from these alternative sources have been used successfully to treat diseases and or medical conditions; and (ii) that the procurement (collection), processing and storage of CB and of CTC are procedures that do not guarantee the suitability of the cellular therapy product(s) or the stored cells and or tissue for their support of any medical condition anytime in the future and that the clinical applications of such cellular therapy products continue to evolve, change or differentiate and that new Page 3 of 4

6 applications will possibly continue to be discovered; and (iii) that the CB cells and CTC cells will be stored in appropriate equipment however, the duration of sustainable and proliferate value of the stored cells necessary (a) to rejuvenate the hematopoietic system, (b) to support other therapies, is not yet scientifically proven; and (iv) the potential dangers of future use of the CB and of the CTC, which include among others, the possibility that treatment with the use of CB cells and/or CTC cells may not be effective, that there is a risk of intoxification, organ damage, failure to engraft and possibility of death; and (v) the use of CB cells and of CTC cells may not be suitable for treatment of all diseases or conditions and that the decision to use or not to use the CB cells and/or CTC cells lies primarily on the medical service provider and the application (transplant) Medical Centre with the consent of the Clients, and the Child; and (vi) that the number of CB cells contained in the stored unit may not be sufficient for use by any person and may not be sufficient for use for a specific and or any treatment as this will be determined in the future according to the type of the disease, the patients weight, age, applications of laboratory multiplication techniques of cells and or any other factors or criteria which may not be known today; and (vii) that the CTC cells contained in the stored unit are not intended to be used as a cellular therapy product directly but have to undergo laboratory manipulation for the expansion of this cell population and the manufacturing of an appropriate cellular therapy product prior to application; and (viii) that the Sample(s) stored by Lifeline under this Agreement may never be found necessary for use and that there is no way to determine whether the Child or a family member will ever develop a disease or condition which may require a stem cell treatment. c. As Lifeline is in no way providing medical advice, care or treatment to the Clients, the Clients are strongly advised to obtain independent medical advice with regards to receiving the Service(s) from Lifeline, including without limitation, potential benefits, risks and dangers of collecting and storing the Sample(s). 8. Clinical Tests and Personal Data a. The Clients understand and accept that for the purpose of testing whether the CB and/or CTC is suitable for storage, it may be necessary to obtain a blood sample from the Mother either seven days before and/or after the delivery of the child in order to carry out a variety of clinical tests including but not limited to tests for Hepatitis B and C, HIV, infectious agents, including those causing AIDS, hepatitis and syphilis. The Clients further understand and accept that the CB and/or CTC of the Child may also be tested by Lifeline for any and or all of the above mentioned diseases and infections and any other infections and diseases that Lifeline may deem proper. b. Lifeline acknowledges the right of the Clients to request the results of any clinical tests carried out by Lifeline and undertakes to provide such results to the Clients upon their request. c. The Clients hereby provide their express consent to Lifeline to: (i) obtain the Mother s blood sample (ii) carry out any and all of the above tests and or any other tests deemed necessary by Lifeline to the Mother s and or the Child s blood and or the CB and/or the CTC; (iii) release internally and or to its subcontractors the results of any tests, of which Lifeline was informed of, with regards to the Mother and or the Child and to release the Child s and family s medical records (including the Father s) to Lifeline and its subcontractors. d.
