Special Warrant Offer Ortec is offering to permit the holders of its outstanding Series C Warrants to exercise their Series C Warrants in accordance with the following provisions: A. The holders shall each be entitled to purchase one-third (1/3) (three ninths (3/9)) of such shares of Ortec common stock they could otherwise purchase upon exercise of such portions of their Series C Warrants they elect to exercise (the "Exercised Series C Warrants") pursuant to this Special Warrant Offer, at a reduced exercise price of $1.67 per share (the "Adjusted Exercise Price"); B. Concurrently with such exercise of the Exercised Series C Warrants, the holder shall be entitled to purchase an additional two ninths (2/9) of such shares of Ortec common stock they could otherwise purchase upon exercise of such Exercised Series C Warrants, at the reduced exercise price of one cent ($0.01) per share (the "Second Adjusted Exercise Price"); and C. Surrender the right to purchase the remaining four ninths (4/9) of such shares of Ortec common stock they could otherwise purchase upon exercise of such Exercised Series C Warrants. For warrant holders whose participation in this Special Warrant Offer would result in ownership in excess of 9.99% of the common stock currently outstanding, such holders shall be issued in lieu of Ortec's common stock so many shares of Ortec's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock as would entitle such holder to acquire, upon conversion, the same number of shares of Ortec's common stock.

All common shares delivered to the holder pursuant to this Special Warrant Offer are registered for resale pursuant to Ortec's prospectus dated September 28, 2004.
