Effective as of October 14, 2009, the Board of Directors of Global Med Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") has appointed Darren Craig to the position of Acting Chief Financial Officer.

In the event that Mr. Craig's employment is terminated by the Company for "cause" or if Mr. Craig resigns without "good reason" then Mr. Craig would be entitled to his base salary through the date of termination or resignation, including any accrued but unused vacation time.

In the event that Mr. Craig terminates his employment for good reason, if the Company terminates Mr. Craig's employment for any reason other than cause, death or disability or the Company fails to renew the new employment agreement after the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, then Mr. Craig would be entitled to (i) the continuation of his benefits for the remainder of the initial term or the then current renewal term and (ii) subject to the execution of a release by Mr. Craig, severance consisting of continuation of his base salary until the earlier of (A) the date that Mr. Craig elects to engage or cause others to engage in a "Competing Business" (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (B) six (6) months following the date of termination or non-renewal.
