Item 2.04

Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

 

As reported in our 8-K filed June 3, 2005, beginning May 27, 2005 and thereafter, we received gross proceeds of $3,186,000 through the issuance of 8% promissory notes due December 31, 2005. The outstanding principal together with all unpaid and accrued interest were to automatically convert into equity securities issued by us in an equity financing or a combination of equity financings wherein we sold our equity securities and received gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000. The promissory notes were to convert to our equity securities at the same price as paid by the purchasers for our equity securities in such financings except that in determining the number of equity securities to be acquired by the note holders, the notes were to be valued at 120% of their principal amounts, plus interest accrued on the original principal amounts before such 20% increase. Subsequently on September 14, 2005 and September 29, 2005 we received an additional $300,000 in 8% promissory notes due December 31, 2005 with similar terms. On October 12, 2005, the promissory notes were amended to reduce the amount of gross proceeds we had to receive in such equity financings to trigger the conversion of the notes to our equity securities, from the original $5,000,000 to $2,514,000. In consideration of this amendment the holders will receive 20,000 seven-year Series F warrants to purchase our common stock at $.50 per common share for each $100,000 of outstanding principal amount of the note that is being converted into our equity securities. As a result of our receipt of gross proceeds of approximately $2,650,000 from the sale of our equity securities on October 12, 2005 all of the notes were converted into an aggregate of 17,205,421 shares of our common stock and Series F warrants to purchase an additional aggregate 9,299,910 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share.

 

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On October 12, 2005, we entered into definitive common stock purchase agreements for $3,300,591 in connection with a private placement in which we agreed to issue common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share. We have already received gross proceeds of $2,649,541 for which we are issuing 10,598,164 shares. In addition each purchaser will receive our Series F common stock purchase warrants to purchase 50% of the number of common shares purchased. The Series F warrants are exercisable at $0.50 per share. Investors who purchased our common stock and Series F warrants in this current financing in an amount equal to at least 40% of their past cash investments in our January 5, 2005 equity private placement which was completed at $0.83 cents per share (in which they purchased our common stock and our Series E warrants), or who converted our promissory notes on that January 5, 2005 date to shares of our common stock and Series E warrants, had the exercise price of their Series E warrants reduced to $.001 from $1.80 and $1.50 per share. Purchasers whose participation in our current private placement whose holdings would result in ownership in excess of 9.99% of our outstanding common stock were given the option to receive our Series D preferred shares which will be convertible to the same number of shares of our common stock they would otherwise acquire in this current private placement.

 

 


 

 

The Series F warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions. We may redeem the Series F warrants at any time after twelve months after their issuance should our common stock trade above $1.00 for ten consecutive trading days.

 

We are required to file a registration statement registering the shares of the common stock and the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of our Series F warrants, which we sold in this current private placement. That registration statement is required to be filed no later than January 6, 2006. We are required to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 60 business days thereafter. If the registration statement is not filed by January 6, 2006, or is not declared effective within 90 business days of its filing we must pay the investors cash liquidated damages equal to 1.5% of the amount they invested in the current private placement for the first 30 days of our default, and 1% of the amount invested for each 30 days thereafter.

 

Burnham Hill Partners, a division of Pali Capital (“BHP”), our placement agent, will receive a cash fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds (including cash received for our promissory notes, approximately half of which we paid to BHP upon placement of the notes) received by us in this current private placement. BHP will also receive warrants to purchase so many shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per common share, equal to 10% of the shares of our common stock and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series D preferred stock, which we have sold in this current private placement. BHP has the option to take $174,300 of their fee due for conversion of our promissory notes to purchase our common stock and our Series F warrants at the same price as paid by the investors in this current private placement for those securities. Additionally, subject to our receipt of a minimum of $5,000,000 of gross proceeds raised under our Letter Agreement with BHP dated September 23, 2005, placement agent warrants for the purchase of 2,746,376 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.95 per share, which we issued to BHP and its designees in connection with the private placement of our common stock and our Series E warrants which closed on January 5, 2005,will have their exercise price reduced to $0.35 per share. For a period of 36 months ending in October 2008 we shall pay BHP a cash fee of 6% of the proceeds we receive from the exercise of any of our warrants issued to investors who paid cash for our securities.

 

For a period of nine months following the completion of this current financing, BHP shall have the right to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with our subsequent financings. During this time, BHP will be entitled to an industry standard fee for completion of a strategic transaction by us. BHP in its sole discretion may apply all or a portion of the $250,000 advisory fee it earned under the advisory agreement between us and BHP dated January 4, 2005, as the purchase price for the common stock and Series F warrants we sold in this current financing.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreements, we may enter into subsequent closings on this Private Placement prior to the close of business on October 31, 2005. Additionally, the purchasers in the Private Placement may increase their investment by an amount equal to 50% of their initial investment in this Private Placement prior to the close of business on October 31, 2005. This report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy our common stock or Series F warrants.

 

 


 

The sale of our common stock and our Series F warrants in our current private placement is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) pursuant to the provisions of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, since all the purchasers were accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501 in Regulation D.

OF

ORTEC INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Expires October     , 2012

No.: W-F-___    Number of Shares: ___________
Date of Issuance: October      , 2005    

                FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, Ortec International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), hereby certifies that ______________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the period specified in this Warrant, up to _________________________________ (_____________) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 9 hereof.

                1.             Term.  The right to subscribe for and purchase shares of Warrant Stock represented hereby shall commence on October     , 2005 and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on October , 2012 (such period being the “Term”).

                2.             Method of Exercise Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.

                (a)           Time of Exercise.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Term.


                (b)           Method of Exercise.  The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 2, but only when a registration statement under Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant.

                (c)           Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing one (1) year following the Original Issue Date, if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock either (A) has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission by the date such registration statement is required to be effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or (B) is not effective at the time of exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

   X = Y - (A)(Y)
        B
     
Where    X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
   
   Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
 
   A =  the Warrant Price.
 
   B = the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.

                (d)           Issuance of Stock Certificates.  In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not

-2-


exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall have been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer’s expense within such time.

                (e)           Transferability of Warrant.  Subject to Section 2(g), this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of subsection (g) of this Section 2, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto.

                (f)            Continuing Rights of Holder.  The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.

                (g)           Compliance with Securities Laws.

                   (i)            The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
 
                   (ii)           Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
 
  THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS  

-3-


     
  AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR ORTEC INTERNATIONAL, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.  
 
                  (iii)          The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Issuer may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(g), the Issuer will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(g) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant.

                (h)           In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

-4-


                3.             Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.

                (a)           Stock Fully Paid.  The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

                (b)           Reservation.  If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.

                (c)           Covenants.  The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

                (d)           Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants.  Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the

-5-


case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.

                4.             Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number.  The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5.

                (a)           Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

                  (i)           In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”): (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.
 
                  (ii)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Issuer will not effect any Triggering Event if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such

-6-


   
  Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.

                (b)           Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:

                                  (i)            take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Additional Shares of Common Stock,
 
                                  (ii)           subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
 
                                  (iii)          combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

                (c)           Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any divi­dend or other distribution of:

                                  (i)            cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer),
 
                                  (ii)           any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or
 
                                  (iii)          any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock),

-7-


then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm of recognized national standing acceptable to the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b).

                (d)           Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

                                (i)           In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Original Issue Date issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction:

                  (A)          the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and
 
                  (B)           the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

                                (ii)           No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be made under paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights

-8-


therefor pursuant to Sections 4(e) or 4(f), or in connection with any Permitted Issuances.

                (e)           Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights.  If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell any warrants or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, and the Warrant Consideration (hereafter defined) per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such warrant or option shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the Warrant Price then in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such warrants or options plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the Warrant Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all such warrants or options, would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and (2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding assuming the exercise or conversion of all such warrants and options. No adjustments of the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. No adjustments of the Warrant Price shall be required under this Section 4(e) in connection with any Permitted Issuances.

                (f)            Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents.  If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the Common Stock Equivalent Consideration (hereafter defined) per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the Warrant Price then in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, shall upon each such issuance or sale be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the Common Stock Equivalent Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all such Common Stock Equivalents, would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and (2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding assuming the exercise or conversion of all such Common Stock Equivalents. No further adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made under this Section 4(f) upon the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4(e). No

-9-


further adjustments of the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. No adjustments of the Warrant Price shall be required under this Section 4(f) in connection with any Permitted Issuances.

                (g)           Superseding Adjustment.  If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f) as the result of any issuance of warrants, other rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(g) above, there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or other rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new ad­justment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

                (h)           Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer.  If the Issuer at any time while this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock at a price per share greater than the Per Share Market Value, then the Warrant Price upon each such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Per Share Market Value; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this subsection (h), the date as of which the Per Share Market Price shall be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual purchase, redemption

-10-


or acquisition of such Common Stock. For the purposes of this subsection (h), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be a purchase of the underlying Common Stock, and the computation herein required shall be made on the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made, whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on such date.

                (i)            Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section.  The following provisions shall be ap­plicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:

                                (i)           Computation of Consideration.  To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as de­termined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrant or right plus the additional con­sideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrant or other right for one share of Common Stock (together the “Warrant Consideration”). The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock Equivalent, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or other exercise of such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalent for one share of Common Stock (together the “Common Stock Equivalent Consideration”). In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.

                                (ii)           When Adjustments to Be Made.  The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this

-11-


Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

                                (iii)          Fractional Interests.  In computing ad­justments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the near­est one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.

                                (iv)          When Adjustment Not Required.  If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

                (j)            Form of Warrant after Adjustments.  The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

                (k)           Escrow of Warrant Stock.  If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exer­cises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property returned.

                5.             Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and

-12-


Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national accounting firms currently known as the “big five” selected by the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

                6.             Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with and exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.

                7.             Call.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, commencing one (1) year following the date the Registration Statement (as defined below) is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer may call up to one hundred percent (100%) of this Warrant then still outstanding by providing the Holder of this Warrant written notice pursuant to Section 13 (the “Call Notice”); provided, that, in connection with any call by the Issuer under this Section 7, (A) the Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock has been greater than $1.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of delivery of the Call Notice (a “Call Notice Period”); (B) a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the (i) Warrant Stock and (ii) the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Issuer’s Series D Preferred Stock which are not saleable in the public securities market pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144(k) of Regulation D, issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (the “Registration Statement”) is then in effect and has been effective, without lapse or suspension of any kind, for a period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, (C) trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the OTC Bulletin Board (or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading) and (D) the Issuer is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); provided, further, that the Registration Statement must be effective from the date of delivery of the Call Notice until the date which is the later of (i) the date the Holder exercises the Warrant pursuant to the Call Notice and (ii) the 20th day after the Holder receives the Call Notice (the “Early Termination Date”). The rights and privileges granted pursuant to this Warrant with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock subject to the Call Notice (the “Called Warrant Shares”) shall expire on the Early Termination Date if this Warrant is not exercised with respect to such Called Warrant Shares prior to such Early Termination Date. In the event this Warrant is not exercised with respect to the Called Warrant Shares, the Issuer shall remit to the Holder of this Warrant (i) $.01 per Called Warrant Share and (ii) a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, which shall not have been subject to the Call Notice upon the Holder tendering to the Issuer the applicable Warrant certificate.

                8.             Certain Exercise Restrictions.

                                (a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would cause the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time to exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that such Holder would like to waive this Section 8(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 8(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect (i) during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant or (ii) upon the Holder’s receipt of a Call Notice.

                                (b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would cause the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time to exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with a Waiver Notice that such holder would like to waive this Section 8(b) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 8(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Warrant Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect (i) during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant or (ii) upon the Holder’s receipt of a Call Notice.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


                This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT this (“Agreement”), dated as of October ____, 2005 by and between Ortec International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers listed on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), for the purchase and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) by the Purchasers.

                The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

Section 1.1       Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrants.

                                (a)           Upon the following terms and conditions, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a price per share of $.25 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”). The minimum purchase price hereunder shall be no less than $6,000,000 (the “Minimum Purchase Price”). The aggregate purchase price sold hereunder shall be the sum of the Minimum Purchase Price and the aggregate purchase price of any Shares sold in excess of the Minimum Purchase Price (the “Purchase Price”). The Minimum Purchase Price includes conversion of $3,486,000 of promissory notes recently issued by the Company for loans made to it in May through September of 2005 which will have converted into shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such notes as more fully described on Schedule 1.1(a) attached hereto. The Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), including Regulation D (“Regulation D”), and/or upon such other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to any or all of the investments to be made hereunder.

                                (b)           In the event that a Purchaser would own in excess of 9.99% of the Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined below), such Purchaser shall purchase shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties contained herein, shall apply to the purchase of the Series D Preferred Stock and, accordingly, any reference in this Agreement to “Shares” shall also be deemed to include such shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock pays no dividends and shall convert into Common Stock when such Purchaser’s beneficial ownership percentage falls below 9.99%.


                                (c)           Upon the following terms and conditions, the Purchasers shall be issued Series F Warrants, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrants”), to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A hereto. The Warrants shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance, shall have a term of seven (7) years and shall have an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price (as defined in the Warrants). Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (and such shares when issued) are herein referred to as the “Warrant Shares”. The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.

                                (d)           For a period of forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (as defined below), each of the Purchasers shall have the right to purchase additional Shares equal to [________] percent (_____%) of such Purchaser’s initial investment in the Shares on the Closing Date on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement (the “Additional Investment Right”).

                                Section 1.2       Purchase Price and Closing.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree to purchase the number of Shares and Warrants, in each case, set forth opposite their respective names on Exhibit A. The Shares and Warrants shall be sold and funded in separate closings (each, a “Closing”). The initial Closing under this Agreement (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place on or about October ___, 2005 (the “Initial Closing Date”) for the sale of Shares in an amount equal to at least the Minimum Purchase Price. Subsequent Closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) under this Agreement shall take place no later than the date immediately preceding the sixtieth (60th) business day following the Initial Closing Date (each, a “Subsequent Closing Date”). The Initial Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. Each Closing under this Agreement shall take place at the offices of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036 or at such other place as the Purchasers and the Company may agree upon; provided, that all of the conditions set forth in Article IV hereof and applicable to each Closing shall have been fulfilled or waived in accordance herewith. At each Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Purchaser (i) a certificate registered in the name of the Purchaser representing the number of Shares that such Purchaser is purchasing pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) a Warrant to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser on Exhibit A and (iii) any other deliveries as required by Article IV. At each Closing, each Purchaser shall deliver its Purchase Price by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company.

ARTICLE II

Representations and Warranties

                                Section 2.1       Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows, as of the date hereof and the Closing

- 2 -


Date, except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions attached hereto with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the section number herein:

                                (a)           Organization, Good Standing and Power.  The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. The Company does not have any subsidiaries or own securities of any kind in any other entity except as set forth in Section 2.1(g) hereto. The Company and its subsidiary is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect on the business, operations, properties, assets, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company that is material and adverse to the Company and its subsidiary, taken as a whole, and any condition, circumstance or situation that would prohibit the Company from entering into and performing any of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (as defined below).

                                (b)           Authorization; Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Warrants and that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company and the Purchasers, dated as of the date hereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement” and, together with this Agreement and the Warrants, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by the Company, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

                                (c)           Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of the Company as of the date of this Agreement consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 26,498,749 were issued and 26,496,749 were outstanding as of July 27, 2005, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 3,557.39 were issued and outstanding as of July 27, 2005. All of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and any other outstanding security of the Company have been duly and validly authorized. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Schedule II of the Registration Rights Agreement and as set forth in the Commission Documents, no shares of Common Stock or any other security of the Company are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company except for options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to the Company’s Employee Stock Option Plans and warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock (half of which warrants are exercisable at $0.50 per share and the other

- 3 -


half at $1.00 per share). Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement, securities and agreements referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and as set forth in the Commission Documents, there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except for customary transfer restrictions contained in agreements entered into by the Company in order to sell restricted securities or as provided in the Commission Documents, the Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or understanding granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities except for its outstanding Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and its outstanding Series B, C and E Warrants, the shares of Common Stock referred to in items numbered 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, and some of the shares referred to in item numbered 1, on Schedule II to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement or understanding restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company.

                                (cc)         Independent Nature of Purchasers.  The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the

- 11 -


performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its subsidiary which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company further acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. For reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers. Such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such Purchaser and the other Purchasers may retain their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

                                (dd)         No Integrated Offering.  Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or its subsidiary take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review.

                                (ee)         Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective and intends to comply with other applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, upon the effectiveness of such provisions.

                                Section 2.2       Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.  Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants to the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other Purchaser as follows as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

- 12 -


                                (a)           Organization and Standing of the Purchasers.  If the Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

                                (b)           Authorization and Power.  Each Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction Documents and to purchase the Securities being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is required. When executed and delivered by the Purchasers, the other Transaction Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of each Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

                                (c)           No Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Purchaser’s charter or organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser’s respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Purchaser or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

                                (d)           Acquisition for Investment.  Each Purchaser is purchasing the Shares and Warrants solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Shares or Warrants, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Shares or Warrants to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Shares or the Warrants for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares or the Warrants at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment in the Company, (ii) is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities and (iii) has been given full access

- 13 -


to such records of the Company and its subsidiary and to the officers of the Company and its subsidiary as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.

                                (e)           Rule 144.  Each Purchaser understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that such Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Each Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

Certificate Legend

                                Section 5.1       Legend.  Each certificate representing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):

  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR ORTEC INTERNATIONAL, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.  

                The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such Shares or Warrant Shares, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Shares or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Shares or Warrant Shares,

provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

                                Section 6.1       General Indemnity.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser (and its respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) (“Losses”) incurred by each Purchaser as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. The Purchasers severally but not jointly agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchasers herein. The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.

                                Section 6.2       Indemnification Procedure.  Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will not defend any action, proceeding or claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any

- 21 -


negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VII

The parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of New York. The Company and each Purchaser consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least a majority of all Shares then held by the Purchasers. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.3 shall be binding upon each Purchaser (and their permitted assigns) and the Company.

                                                                                                                                                         _____________ ____, 2005


                To the purchasers of Ortec International, Inc.’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and Series F Warrants (the “Warrants”) who purchased their securities on or about _____________ ___, 2005 pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of _____________ , 2005 entered into by and among Ortec International, Inc. (the “Company”) and the purchasers who were parties thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”):

                This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 4.2(f) of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this opinion shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement except that for the purposes of this opinion “Shares” shall also include any shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement and the phrase “Common Stock (or Shares) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants” shall be also deemed to include shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

                We are the attorneys for the Company and have acted as its counsel in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. We have examined originals or copies of the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the organizational documents of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Orcel, LLC (“Orcel”). In addition, we have examined such records, documents, certificates of public officials and of the Company and Orcel, made such inquiries of officials of the Company and Orcel, and considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions set forth herein.

                We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of officers of the Company and Orcel) and the authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as copies. In making our examination of the Transaction Documents, we have assumed that you each have authority to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe the provisions of, the Transaction Documents, and have duly


authorized, executed and delivered the Transaction Documents to which each of you is a party, and that the Transaction Documents to which each of you is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of you enforceable against each of you in accordance with their terms.

                Whenever our opinion herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is indicated to be based on our knowledge, or of which we are aware, it is intended to signify that, in the course of our representation of the Company and Orcel in connection with the matter described in the second paragraph hereof, and numerous other matters, none among Gabriel Kaszovitz, Saul Kaszovitz, Larry Miller or Irving Rothstein has acquired actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts. Please be advised that the above named persons are the only attorneys of this firm who have been currently actively engaged in the representation of either the Company or Orcel in connection with this or other matters. While we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company and Orcel, whenever we refer to our knowledge with respect to the existence or absence of facts, it is after due inquiry, and based upon Gabriel Kaszovitz’s extensive familiarity with the Company’s and Orcel’s business.

                The opinions hereinafter expressed are subject to the following further qualifications and exceptions: 

                (1)       The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, including, without limitation, laws relating to fraudulent transfers or conveyances, preferences and equitable subordination.

                (2)           Limitations imposed by general principles of equity upon the availability of equitable remedies or the enforcement of provisions of the Transaction Documents, and the effect of judicial decisions which have held that certain provisions are unenforceable where their enforcement would violate the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or would be commercially unreasonable, or where a default under a provision of any Transaction Document is not material.

                (3)           We express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions expressed herein of (a) the compliance or non-compliance by any of you with any law or regulation applicable to any of you, or (b) the legal or regulatory status or the nature of each of your businesses.

                (4)           The effect of judicial decisions which may permit the introduction of extrinsic evidence to supplement the terms of the Transaction Documents or to aid in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents.

                (5)           The enforceability of provisions of the Transaction Documents providing for indemnification or contribution, to the extent such indemnification or contribution is against public policy.

                (6)           The enforceability of provisions of the Transaction Documents imposing or which


are construed as effectively imposing a penalty.

                (7)           We express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions of the Transaction Documents which purport to establish evidentiary standards or to make determinations conclusive or powers absolute.

                (8)           The enforceability of any provisions of the Transaction Documents which purports to establish a particular court or courts as the forum for the adjudication of any controversy relating to the Transaction Documents.

                (9)           The circumstances under which rights of setoff may be exercised.

                (10)         Our opinion is based upon current statutes, rules, regulations, cases and official interpretative opinions.

                Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

                1.             The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the state of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary.

                2.             The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the Shares, the Warrants and (except as hereafter stated) the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered, and the Shares and the Warrants have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The issuance of the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

                3.             The Shares and the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, thereafter when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Warrants, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                4.             The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants and with respect to the


issuance of the Common Stock, the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, do not (i) violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) to our knowledge, after due inquiry, conflict with, require consent, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party, (iii) to our knowledge, after due inquiry, create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, or, to our knowledge, after due inquiry, any judgment, injunction or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations), applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clause (i) above, for such conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

                5.             No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares and the Warrants, except for filings required by federal or state securities laws. With respect to the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, no consent, approval or authorization is required.

                6.             To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents, there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, except for past due obligations owing by the Company to its vendors and to others. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.

                7.             Conditioned on the accuracy of each Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement, the offer, issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

                8.             The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing will not be, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                We are counsel admitted to practice in the State of New York. This opinion is limited in all respects to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporate Law of the State of


Delaware and federal laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

                This opinion is for the benefit of and may be relied upon, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, by the Purchasers, their respective successors and assigns and their respective counsel. Otherwise, this opinion may not be used, published, circulated or relied upon by any other person for any purpose without our prior written consent. This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you after the date hereof of facts or circumstances that come to our attention or changes in laws or regulations that occur which could affect the opinions contained herein.

  Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:

This letter Agreement (the “Agreement”) confirms the engagement of Burnham Hill Partners (“BHP”), a division of Pali Capital, Inc., by Ortec International (the “Company”) to act as its exclusive placement agent and in connection with the private placement of convertible promissory notes, common stock, common stock purchase warrants and Series D convertible preferred stock with an initial closing that occurred May 27, 2005 and a final closing to be completed prior to November 15, 2005 (the “Financing”).

As compensation related to the Financing, the Company shall pay to BHP a cash fee equal to ten (10%) percent of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Financing, other than in connection with the convertible promissory notes issued beginning May 27, 2005 for which BHP shall be paid an initial cash fee of five (5%) percent and an additional five (5%) percent upon conversion of the promissory notes into common stock or Series D Preferred Stock. At BHP’s sole discretion, BHP may apply the remaining five (5%) percent cash fee owed upon conversion of the promissory notes issued beginning May 27, 2005 as purchase price for the common stock and common stock purchase warrants sold in the Financing. Subject to a minimum of $5 million dollars of gross proceeds raised under this Agreement, all Placement Agent Warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement completed on January 5, 2005 shall have their exercise prices adjusted to $.35 per share.

For a period of thirty-six (36) months from the Closing, BHP shall receive a cash fee equal to six (6%) percent of the gross proceeds raised from future cash exercises of currently outstanding investor common stock purchase warrants and common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Financing.

In addition, BHP or their assigns shall be issued Placement Agent Warrants in an amount equal to ten (10%) percent of the common shares (or common share equivalents in connection with the Series D) issued in connection with the Financing. For purposes of calculating the number of Placement Agent Warrants to be issued, all common shares (inclusive of Series D) issued in connection with and upon conversion of the promissory notes issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be included. The Placement Agent Warrants shall be exercisable at $.30 per share. The shares underlying the Placement Agent Warrants shall have standard piggyback registration rights, a cashless exercise provision and shall be non-redeemable.


For a period of nine (9) months following the completion of the Financing, BHP shall have the right to act as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with subsequent financing activity.

In connection with a strategic transaction, defined as merger, acquisition, consolidation, sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, a licensing or similar transaction (a, “Strategic Transaction”), BHP shall be paid a fee to be negotiated in good faith between the Company and BHP based on industry standard fees for such transactions. BHP in its sole discretion may apply all or a portion of the $250,000 Advisory Fee due under the Advisory Agreement between the Company and BHP dated January 4, 2005, as purchase price for the common stock and common stock purchase warrants sold in the Financing.

The Company shall provide to BHP quarterly reimbursement of all documented out-of-pocket expenses, which amount shall not exceed $2,000 without the prior written approval of the Company.

Notice given pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be sent by recognized overnight courier or personally delivered (a) if to the Company, to the Company’s office at 3960 Broadway, New York, NY 10032. Attention: Ron Lipstein, Chief Executive Officer; and (b) if to BHP, to its office at 570 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022. Attention: Jason Adelman, Managing Director.

No advice or opinion rendered by BHP, whether formal or informal, may be disclosed, in whole or in part, or summarized, excerpted from or otherwise referred to without our prior written consent unless required by law, government regulations, or legally required in court proceedings. In addition, BHP may not be otherwise referred to without its prior written consent. Since BHP will be acting on behalf of the Company in connection with its engagement hereunder, the Company has entered into a separate letter Agreement, dated the date hereof, providing for the indemnification by the Company of BHP and certain related persons and entities.

BHP is a division of Pali Capital Inc., a European American Investment Group Company. The letter agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to BHP and the Company in the event that BHP becomes an independent entity. In connection with this engagement, BHP is acting as an independent contractor with duties owing solely to the Company. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

The Indemnification Agreement entered into between the Company and BHP on January 4, 2005 shall govern this Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this letter Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement or the indemnification Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect

We are delighted to accept this engagement and look forward to working with you on this assignment. Please confirm that the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding by signing and returning to us the enclosed duplicate of this Agreement.

                                In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

                                (a)           Prepare and file with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Date, a Registration Statement on Form S-2 (or if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-2 such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in accordance with the

-3-


method or methods of distribution thereof as specified by the Holders (except if otherwise directed by the Holders), and cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to the Special Counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Special Counsel, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of such Special Counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Special Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within three (3) Business Days of their receipt thereof. If the Special Counsel shall so reasonably object in writing, the Filing Date and Effectiveness Date shall be extended by the time that the Company and the Special Counsel shall reasonably need to respond to and/or comply with such objections.

                                (b)           (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii) respond as promptly as possible, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Special Counsel true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

                                (c)           Notify the Special Counsel as promptly as possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than five (5) days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Business Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration

-4-


Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement contemplated hereby ceases to be true and correct in all material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                                (d)           Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

                                (e)           If requested by the Special Counsel or by a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.

                                (f)            Furnish to the Special Counsel and upon request to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

                                (g)           Promptly deliver to the Special Counsel and each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

                                (h)           Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and the Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such

-5-


registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

                                (i)           Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends (provided that the issuance of such unlegended certificates is in compliance with applicable securities laws), and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request at least three (3) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

                                (j)            Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(vi), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                                (k)           Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement to be listed or traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or any other securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed as and when required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

                                (l)            Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.

                                (m)          The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

                                If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (if such

-6-


reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.

                                Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it has received copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in Section 3(g) and notice from the Company that such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by Section 3(c) and (ii) it and its officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to them in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

                                Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(v), 3(c)(vi) or 3(n), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.

                                (n)           If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose, then the Company may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed twenty (20) consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 3(n) for more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period; provided, however, that no such postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive twenty (20) day periods, arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.

     4.                        Registration Expenses.

                                All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company, except as and to the extent specified in Section 4, shall be borne by the Company whether or not the Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with The Nasdaq SmallCap Market and each other securities

-7-


exchange or market on which Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the NASD Regulation, Inc. and (C) in compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligilibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities may designate)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of photocopying prospectuses if the photocopying of prospectuses is requested by any Holder), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s independent public accountants (including the expenses of any comfort letters, if needed, or costs associated with the delivery by independent public accountants of such needed comfort letter or comfort letters). In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.

     5.                        Indemnification.

                                (a)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder or such other Indemnified Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, which information was reasonably relied on by the Company for use therein or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in

-8-


any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                                (b)           Indemnification by Holders.  Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review), as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was reasonably relied upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holders shall be liable under this Section 5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the lesser of (i) the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation and (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid by the Holder for the Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

                                (c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

                                An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the

-9-


Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

                     All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

                                (d)           Contribution.  If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

                     The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately

-10-


preceding paragraph.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                     The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties

                6.             Rule 144.

                     As long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities or Warrants, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, at the Holder’s request, to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. As long as any Holder owns Registrable Securities or Warrants, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Holder, at the Holder’s request, and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions relating to such sale pursuant to Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

                7.             Miscellaneous.

                                (a)           Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

                                (b)           No Inconsistent Agreements.  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has, as of the date hereof entered into and currently in effect, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this

-11-


Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as disclosed in Section 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement currently in effect granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

                                (c)           No Piggyback on Registrations.  Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto or as disclosed in Section 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Schedule II hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing such right to any of its securityholders, unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

                                (d)           Piggy-Back Registrations.  If at any time when there is not an effective Registration Statement covering (i) the Shares or (ii) Warrant Shares, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall send to each holder of Registrable Securities written notice of such determination and, if within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, any such holder shall so request in writing, (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Purchasers), the Company will cause the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the holder, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to such holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in accordance with Section 4 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this Section 7(d) for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7(d) that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Registrable Securities in such

registration statement, then if the Company after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities, would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if Securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).

                                (e)           Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events.  The Company and the Holders agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date and not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or if certain other events occur. The Company and the Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following the Effectiveness Date, or (B) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within three (3) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or not subject to further review, or (C) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded immediately by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with and declared effective by the Commission, or (D) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board (or other principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) for any reason for more than three (3) Business Days in the aggregate, or (E) the Company breaches in a material respect any covenant or other material term or condition to this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement (other than a representation or warranty contained therein) or any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to the Company, or (F) the Company has breached Section 3(n) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clauses (A) and (D) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (B) the date on which such three (3) Business Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (C) after more than fifteen (15) Business Days, or for purposes of clause (D) the date on which such three (3) Business Day period is exceeded, or for clause (E) the date on which such thirty (30) day period is exceeded, or for clause (F) the date the Company has breached Section 3(n) hereof, being referred to as

-13-


Event Date”), the Company shall pay an amount in cash as liquidated damages to each Holder equal to one-point-five percent (1.5%) for the first calendar month and one percent (1%) per calendar month thereafter or portion thereof of the Holder’s initial investment in the Shares issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement from the Event Date until the earlier of (x) the date when the applicable Event has been cured, or (y) when the Effectiveness Period ends, which shall be pro rated for such periods less than thirty (30) days (the “Periodic Amount”). Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall be due and payable immediately upon demand at the option of the Holders in cash. The parties agree that the Periodic Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that may be incurred by the Holders if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date or has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or if any other Event as described herein has occurred.

                                (f)            Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and held by the Holders.

                                (g)           Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earlier of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified for notice prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified for notice later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

                                (h)           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder. Each Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

                                (i)            Assignment of Registration Rights.  The rights of each Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any Affiliate of such Holder or any other Holder or Affiliate of any other Holder of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement, and (vi) at least 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities (appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, split or combination of the Common Stock) are being transferred to such transferee or assignee in connection with such assignment of rights. In addition, each Holder shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any other Person with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights to assignment shall apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.

                                (j)            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

                                (k)           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts of law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted.

                                (l)            Cumulative Remedies.  The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

-15-


                                (m)          Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

                                (n)           Headings.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

                                (o)           Shares Held by the Company and its Affiliates.  Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than any Holder or transferees or successors or assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason of its holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

                                (p)           Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate on the date when all remaining Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144.

                                (q)           Independent Nature of Purchasers.  The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that the decision of each Purchaser to purchase securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto (including, but not limited to, the (i) inclusion of a Purchaser in the Registration Statement and (ii) review by, and consent to, such Registration Statement by a Purchaser) shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional

-16-


party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
