Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On November 13, 2007, CytoCore, Inc. announced that it had entered into a Distribution Agreement with Palex Medical SA, a distributor of medical products and services to hospitals (“Palex”). Pursuant to the agreement, Palex will act as the exclusive distributor in Spain of CytoCore’s SoftPap™ cervical cell collection device designed to screen for cervical cancer.

     The agreement provides for certain annual minimum purchase requirements for the products, ranging from 600,000 units in the first 12-month period to 2.4 million units in the third 12-month period. Prices are established for the products for the first 12-month period and thereafter will be determined by mutual agreement of the parties. Procedures for the return of products and product recalls are as set forth in the agreement.

     The agreement also provides that the parties shall both work to promote the products, including advertising and marketing efforts. Palex must use its best efforts to create and maintain a market for, and increase the sales of, the products in Spain and provide at its own expense an organization for the continuous sale, promotion and distribution thereof, including its own sales force. CytoCore will provide initial product training and marketing materials, and may from time to time provide advertising, promotional and instructional materials that Palex must distribute at its own expense. The distributor is free to utilize advertising to promote the sale of the products in Spain so long as such advertising is approved in advance by the Company.

     The agreement’s initial term is five years, and automatically renews for an additional three-year period unless notice of termination is received by a party at least 12 months prior to the expiration of the initial term. CytoCore also has the right to terminate the agreement upon 60 days notice in the event Palex fails to attain the annual minimum purchase requirements or in the event the continued performance of the agreement becomes impractical due to the enactment or threatened enactment of any ordinance, statute, regulation law or similar provision. The agreement also provides for termination by either party in the event of a breach that remains uncured or by CytoCore under certain circumstances, including the sale or insolvency of the distributor or the participation of Palex in any illegal or prohibited re-export or sale activities.

     Under the agreement, Palex may not market, sell, promote or otherwise distribute any products that are comparable to or compete directly or indirectly with the Company’s products without CytoCore’s consent, and the distributor may not establish any branch, or maintain any distribution depot, outside of its territory for the sale of the products. Breach of any such non-competition obligation constitutes grounds for termination of the agreement. The distributor is also bound by confidentiality obligations.

     A copy of the press release announcing the agreement with Palex is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
