Zila and its Subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the "DEBTORS". RECITALS: A. Bank One and Zila have entered into the following credit facilities (collectively, the "LOANS"): (i) a certain revolving line of credit in the maximum principal amount of $9,000,000 (the "LINE OF CREDIT LOAN") pursuant to the Loan Agreement between Zila and Bank One dated December 1, 2000 ("LOC LOAN AGREEMENT") as evidenced by the Promissory Note dated December 1, 2000, in the maximum principal amount of $9,000,000 executed by Zila in favor of Bank One ("LINE OF CREDIT PROMISSORY NOTE"); (ii) a certain construction loan ("PROJECT LOAN"), as evidenced by a certain Project Note executed by Oxycal in favor of Bank One in the principal amount of $5,000,000 ("PROJECT NOTE"), in connection with those certain 1999A Bonds and Taxable 1999B Bonds in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (collectively, the "BONDS") issued pursuant to a certain Trust Indenture between The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Yavapai, as Issuer, and Bank One, as Trustee, dated March 1, 1999 ("BOND TRUST INDENTURE"), two Irrevocable Letters of Credit (No. STI 13306 and No. STI 13307), each dated April 14, 1999, issued by Bank One in favor of the owners of the Bonds in an aggregate amount of $5,061,645.00 ("LETTERS OF CREDIT"), and a certain Reimbursement Agreement between Bank One and Oxycal dated March 1, 1999 ("REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT"); and (iii) a certain building loan in the initial principal amount of $450,000 ("BUILDING LOAN"), as evidenced by a certain Promissory Note in the amount of $450,000 executed by Zila in favor of Valley National Bank of Arizona (Bank One was formerly known as Valley National Bank of Arizona), as subsequently amended by a certain Modification Agreement between Zila and Bank One dated April 15, 1996, and as further amended by a certain Promissory Note Second Modification Agreement between Zila and Bank One dated February 26, 1998 (as amended from time to time, the "BUILDING PROMISSORY NOTE"). B. The total amount of the Line of Credit Loan available to Zila for the benefit of Zila and its Subsidiaries depends on the aggregate amount of accounts receivable and inventory of Zila and its Subsidiaries from time to time that are included in the Borrowing Base (as defined in the LOC Loan Agreement) of Zila and its Subsidiaries. Each of the Subsidiaries has previously executed a Commercial Guaranty dated on or about December 1, 2000 (or subsequent thereto) pursuant to which each Subsidiary is guaranteeing all of Zila's liabilities, obligations, debts and indebtedness to Bank One, whether then existing or thereafter incurred, and Oxycal has previously executed an Unconditional Guarantee of Payment dated March 1, 1999 with respect to the Reimbursement Agreement (collectively, together with any other guarantees 2 executed by the Debtors in favor of Bank One, the "GUARANTEES"). In addition, the parties intended that each of the Subsidiaries would grant a security interest in its assets to secure the Line of Credit Loan and to induce Bank One to enter into the LOC Loan Documents, and Bank One understood that the LOC Loan Documents provided Bank One with a perfected security interest in the assets of each of the Subsidiaries as collateral for the Line of Credit Loan. C. Bank One has recently become aware, or has been made aware by Zila, of the following: (i) the documentation executed by Zila and its Subsidiaries for the Line of Credit Loan based upon a borrowing base consisting of the assets of Zila as well as the assets of its Subsidiaries failed to provide for the grant and perfection of security interests in the assets of its Subsidiaries, contrary to the intention of the parties hereto at the time the Line of Credit Loan was underwritten, approved and documented; (ii) the maturity date of the Building Loan is April 1, 2001; and (iii) certain covenant defaults and/or non-compliance events under the Line of Credit Loan have occurred ("NONCOMPLIANCE EVENTS"), as set forth in more detail on EXHIBIT A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. D. Each of the Debtors desire that Bank One (i) forbear in exercising any remedy with respect to the Noncompliance Events, (ii) extend the maturity date of the Building Loan, and (iii) amend the Loan Documents in certain other respects, and Bank One is willing to agree to such forbearance, extension and amendments provided that (a) each of the Subsidiaries executes documentation to provide Bank One with the perfected security interests that were intended at the time the LOC Loan Documents were executed, (b) the Debtors agree to cross-collateralize and cross-default all of the Loans, (c) the Debtors agree to enter into a more comprehensive modification agreement, mutually acceptable to the Debtors and Bank One, prior to the end of the Noncompliance Period (defined below), and (c) such forbearance, extension and amendments are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Modification Agreement. AGREEMENT: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter stated, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1.

FORBEARANCE BY BANK ONE WITH RESPECT TO NONCOMPLIANCE EVENTS. 3.1 Initial Forbearance Agreement. Each of the Debtors acknowledges and agrees that Zila is in default under the LOC Loan Agreement as described in the Noncompliance Events set forth on EXHIBIT A, attached hereto and incorporated herein.

Bank One's forbearance with respect to the Noncompliance Events will terminate at the end of the Noncompliance Period if the Second Loan Modification Agreement has not been executed prior to the end of the Noncompliance Period. If the Second Loan Modification Agreement is executed prior to the end of the Noncompliance Period, the forbearance terms in the Second Loan Modification Agreement shall apply immediately upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Second Loan Modification Agreement as set forth therein. 4. AMENDMENTS TO LOAN DOCUMENTS. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Loan Documents are hereby amended in all respects to the extent necessary to accomplish the following changes: 4.1 Extension of Building Loan. The maturity date of the Building Loan and the Building Promissory Note is hereby changed from April 1, 2001 to May 31, 2001, with any additional extension to be agreed upon in the Second Loan Modification Agreement. 4.2 Modifications to LOC Loan Documents. Effective on the Effective Date of this Agreement (unless otherwise stated below), the following limitations shall apply to all Advances under the LOC Loan Agreement: (a) The total outstanding principal amount of all Advances under the LOC Loan Agreement shall not exceed $7,250,000.00. (b) The definitions of "Account", "Eligible Accounts", "Inventory" and "Eligible Inventory" are not limited to such accounts and inventory of Zila, but shall also include such accounts and inventory of the Subsidiaries provided that all other conditions for eligibility are satisfied, and each reference to "Borrower" in such definitions shall be deemed to be a reference to Zila and the relevant Subsidiaries. (c) "Borrowing Base" will mean the sum of (i) 80.0% of the aggregate amount of Eligible Accounts, plus (ii) the lesser of (a) 50.0% of the aggregate amount of Eligible Inventory, (b) 50.0% of the aggregate amount of Eligible Accounts, or (c) $1,000,000.00. 4 5 (d) The rate of interest charged by Bank One on the LOC Loan will be at the default rate of 3.000% over the Index, effective on April 30, 2001, and continuing until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Noncompliance Period or (ii) the effectiveness of the Second Loan Modification Agreement; provided, however, if the Noncompliance Period has expired and the Second Loan Modification Agreement has not become effective, the foregoing provision does not in any way restrict or otherwise affect the right of Lender to collect a default rate of interest in accordance with the terms of the LOC Loan Documents. (e) For the Noncompliance Period, Zila will deliver to Lender the following borrowing base certificates on the dates set forth below, in form and detail satisfactory to Lender and executed by the chief financial officer of Zila or other officer or person acceptable to Lender, together with such supporting documentation as Lender may request: (i) a borrowing base certificate as of April 30, 2001 on May 9, 2001; (ii) a borrowing base certificate as of May 14, 2001 on May 18, 2001; and (iii) a borrowing base certificate as of May 28, 2001 on May 31, 2001; Such supporting documentation will include, without limitation, an aging and listing of all accounts receivable, which itemizes each account debtor by name, states the total amount payable to Zila and its Subsidiaries and contains a breakdown indicating future amounts due and when due, current amounts due, amounts 30-59 days past due, amounts 60-89 days past due, and amounts 90 or more days past due, and reflecting any credit adjustments, returns and allowances. 4.3 Cross-Defaulting of Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Modification Agreement or any other Loan Document, each of the Debtors agrees with Bank One that the Line of Credit Loan, the Project Loan and the Building Loan shall be cross-defaulted, and a default under this Modification Agreement (or any document executed in connection herewith) or any other Loan Document shall be a default under all other such documents entitling Bank One to exercise all remedies available under such documents, subject only to any required notices and cure periods as expressly made applicable therein. 4.4 Cross-Collateralization of Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Modification Agreement or any other Loan Document, each of the Debtors agrees with Bank One that the Line of Credit Loan, the Project Loan, the Building Loan and all other Obligations shall be cross-collateralized, the collateral, and the liens and security interests therein, for each of the Loans shall secure all of the Loans and all of the Obligations and shall constitute collateral, and liens and security interests therein, with respect to all of the Loans and all of the Obligations, and a default under this Modification Agreement (or any document executed in connection herewith) or any other Loan Document, subject only to any required notices, cure periods and procedures for realization on collateral as expressly made applicable therein, shall entitle Bank One to apply the collateral and the proceeds thereof to the Loans and other Obligations as Bank One may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Zila and Oxycal agree to execute appropriate amendments to each of its deeds of trust that secure any portion of the Loans ("DEEDS OF TRUST") to cause such Deeds of Trust to secure all of the Loans, such amendments to be in form and substance acceptable to Bank One ("AMENDMENTS TO DEEDS OF TRUST"). 5 6 4.5 Release of Collateral. The cross-collateralization set forth in Section 4.4 above shall continue so long as either (a) any of the Loans are outstanding, or (b) Bank One has any continuing commitment to advance funds under any of the Loans; provided, however, the collateral for the Line of Credit Loan will be released (and the security agreements and UCC financing statements executed in connection with the Line of Credit Loan will be terminated, except for the Oxycal Security Agreement defined below and UCC financing statements executed by Oxycal) once the LOC Loan and all obligations related thereto have been paid and performed in full and Bank One has no further commitment under the LOC Loan Agreement, but only if no event of default, and no event which with notice and the passage of time would constitute an event of default ("INCIPIENT DEFAULT"), has occurred under the Project Loan Documents or the Building Loan Documents (other than an event of default or incipient default under the LOC Loan Documents that has triggered an event of default or incipient default under the Project Loan Documents or Building Loan Documents solely due to the cross-defaulting of the Loans). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Modification Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, (a) the Deeds of Trust, and the real property pledged as collateral thereunder, and the Security Agreement dated March 1, 1999, executed by Oxycal in favor of Zila ("OXYCAL SECURITY AGREEMENT"), and the personal property pledged as collateral thereunder, shall continue to secure the Line of Credit Loan so long as any amounts are owed to Bank One under the LOC Loan Documents even after full payment and performance of the Building Loan and the Project Loan, and (b) the Deeds of Trust, and the real property pledged as collateral thereunder, shall continue to secure and cross-collateralize the Project Loan and the Building Loan until full payment and performance of both the Project Loan and the Building Loan and Bank One has no further obligation under the Letters of Credit; provided, however, Bank One agrees to release its lien with respect to the building securing the Building Loan (as such building is more specifically described on Exhibit "A" to the Deed of Trust dated March 8, 1991 executed by Zila, the "BUILDING") upon either: (i) the repayment in full of all amounts due under the Building Loan and the Line of Credit Loan with no further commitment of Bank One to advance under the Line of Credit Loan, or (ii) the refinance, sale or sale/leaseback of the Building in which (A) the proceeds of such refinance, sale or sale/leaseback are paid to Bank One to be applied to the repayment of the Building Loan in full with any excess to be applied to pay down the Line of Credit Loan, and (B) if a refinance, the amount of such refinance is at least 75% of the appraised valued of the Building based upon an appraisal acceptable to Bank One, or if a sale or sale/leaseback, the amount of such sale is at least the amount of the appraised value of the Building based upon such an appraisal. 4.6 Further Documentation. The items in this Section 4 and additional issues will be addressed more fully in the provisions of the Second Loan Modification Agreement and other documents executed in connection therewith; provided, however, if the Second Loan Modification Agreement is not executed or does not become effective for any reason, such failure to execute or become effective shall not affect the effectiveness of this Modification Agreement and the documents executed in connection herewith. 5. REAFFIRMATION OF EXISTING SECURITY INTERESTS AND GRANT OF SECURITY INTERESTS. 5.1 Reaffirmation of Existing Security Interests. Each of the Debtors hereby confirms and agrees that Bank One's security interests in the assets of Zila and its Subsidiaries and all of the collateral previously pledged to Bank One pursuant to the Loan Documents shall continue to secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations to Bank One. 6 7 5.2 Grant of Security Interests in Assets of Subsidiaries as Initially Intended. Without affecting any security interests previously granted to Bank One with respect to the Loans, each of the Subsidiaries hereby grants to Bank One, to secure the Line of Credit Loan as well as all of the other Obligations under the Loan Documents, a security interest in all of such Subsidiary's right, title and interest in and to the personal property described on EXHIBIT B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Each of the Subsidiaries agrees to execute such documents as are necessary to document and perfect the security agreements granted to Bank One under this Section 5.2, including, without limitation, all security agreements, UCC financing statements and other documents and instruments requested by Bank One. Such documents and instruments requested by Bank One shall be executed by each of the Subsidiaries and delivered to Lender on or prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. 6.

The Addendum to the LOC Loan Agreement contains an affirmative financial covenant with respect to the debt service coverage ratio, which requires that Zila will maintain on a consolidated basis, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of (a) net income plus Depreciation and Amortization plus nonrecurring merger related expenses for the twelve month period then ending, to (b) current maturities of long term debt for the same such twelve month period, of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. Zila and its Subsidiaries did not meet the minimum required debt service coverage ratio as of quarter ended April 30, 2001. The section of the LOC Loan Agreement entitled "Events of Default" states that the failure of Zila or any Subsidiary to comply with or perform when due any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in the LOC Loan Agreement constitutes an Event of Default under the LOC Loan Agreement. 2. The conditions precedent to Advances set forth in the LOC Loan Agreement include the requirement that no material adverse change in the financial condition of Zila or any of the Subsidiaries since the effective date of the most recent financial statements furnished to Bank One shall have occurred and be continuing. As of April 30, 2001, there has been a material adverse change in the financial condition of Zila and its Subsidiaries since the effective date of the previous financial statements provided to Bank One by Zila. 14 15 EXHIBIT B DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL All of each Subsidiary's right, title and interest in and to the following described personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located: All inventory, chattel paper, accounts and general intangibles, together with all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located: (a) all attachments, accessions, accessories, tools, parts, supplies, increases, and additions to and all replacements and substitutions for any property described above; (b) all products and produce of any of the property described above; (c) all proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) from the sale, lease, destruction, loss, or other disposition of any of the property described above; and (d) all records and data relating to any of the property described above, whether in the form of a writing, photograph, microfilm, microfiche, or electronic media, together with all of such Subsidiary's right, title and interest in and to all computer software required to utilize, create, maintain, and process any such records or data on electronic media. 15
