Dear Lisa Bacerra:

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Bank"), has made certain credit accommodations available to Hemacare Corporation, a California corporation, and Coral Blood Services, Inc., a California corporation (collectively, “Borrowers” and each, a “Borrower”) pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of December 4, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”). Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings given in the Credit Agreement.

The following Events of Default exist under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing Events of Default”):

(i) Borrowers failed to maintain their Tangible Net Worth as required by Section 4.9(a) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010. For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 their Tangible Net Worth was to be not less than $5,090,000, but instead was $4,846,000.

(ii) Borrowers failed to maintain their net income after taxes as required by Section 4.9(c) of the Credit Agreement for the rolling 2 quarter period ended September 30, 2010. For such period their net income after taxes was to be not less than $200,000, but instead was ($396,000).

(iii) Prior to September 30, 2010, Borrowers incurred indebtedness for borrowings in violation of Section 5.2 without the prior written consent of Bank. Borrower incurred indebtedness of $97,900.

As of the date of this letter, there are no outstanding advances under the Line of Credit, but there is an outstanding Letter of Credit in the amount of $660,150 (the “Prior Issued Letter of Credit”).

Borrowers have asked Bank to waive the Existing Events of Default and continue to make advances to Borrowers and issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrowers under the Line of Credit until the scheduled maturity date thereof. Bank is willing to waive the Existing Events of Default and continue to extend credit to Borrowers under the Credit Agreement until the scheduled maturity date, subject to the following terms and conditions. Accordingly, this letter will confirm the following agreement between Bank and Borrowers:

1. Bank hereby waives the Existing Events of Default, subject to the terms and conditions herein. This waiver applies only to the Existing Events of Default for the prior periods indicated above.

2. Section 1.1(b) shall be deleted hereby and replaced by the following:

(b) Limitation on Borrowings. Outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit, including outstanding advances and Letters of Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set forth above, shall not at any time exceed the amount of cash collateral in a segregated, blocked deposit account maintained by Hemacare Corporation and Coral Blood Services, Inc., or either of them, with Bank, in which Bank has been granted a security interest of first priority to secure all present and future indebtedness of Borrower to Bank pursuant to such security agreement as Bank may require (the “Pledged Account”).”

3. Section 1.4 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of the first paragraph thereunder:

“The foregoing collateral shall include, without limitation, the Pledged Account and all other deposit accounts of Borrower with Bank.”

4. Borrowers hereby acknowledge that as a result of the foregoing requirement for cash collateral, if Borrowers have not already done so, then concurrently with the execution and delivery of this letter by Borrowers to Bank, Borrowers will (a) execute and deliver to Bank such security agreement as Bank may require in connection therewith, and (b) open the Pledged Account and deposit funds therein in an amount sufficient to cover all outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit (including without limitation the Prior Issued Letter of Credit). Borrowers hereby further acknowledge that they are jointly and severally liable for all such outstanding borrowings, including without limitation the Prior Issued Letter of Credit.

5. Section 4.3(d) is hereby modified to delete the part thereof that would require a monthly borrowing base certificate, an aged listing of accounts receivable and accounts payable and a reconciliation of accounts.

6. Section 4.9 is hereby deleted.

7. Concurrently with the execution and delivery by Borrowers to Bank of this letter, Borrowers shall pay to Bank a restructure fee of $4,000.
