Organogenesis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received Massachusetts Capital Resource Company , or assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time or from time to time before 5:00 P.M., Boston time, on August 31, 2019, or such later time as may be specified in Section 17 hereof, 30,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company, which number of shares shall increase to 40,000 shares on August 31, 2013 if any portion of the Notes are outstanding on said date, and shall increase to 50,000 shares on August 31, 2015 if any portion of the Notes are outstanding on said date, at a purchase price per share of Eight Dollars ($8.00) (such purchase price per share as adjusted from time to time as herein provided is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”). The number and character of such shares of Common Stock and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

This Warrant is one of the Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) evidencing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company, issued pursuant to a certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of November 3, 2010, between the Company and the Persons listed in the Schedule of Purchasers attached thereto, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of the Company and the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to all of the benefits of the Agreement, as provided therein.

 

As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, have the following respective meanings:

 

(a)         The term “Company” shall include Organogenesis, Inc., and any corporation which shall succeed or assume the obligations of the Company hereunder.

 

(b)         The term “Common Stock” includes the Company’s Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, as authorized on the date of the Agreement and any other securities into which or for which any of such Common Stock may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.

 

(c)          The term “Other Securities” refers to any stock (other than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or otherwise) which the holders of the Warrants at any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of the Warrants, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or which at any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or otherwise.

 


 

1.              Exercise of Warrant.

 

1.1.         Full Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in full by the holder hereof by surrender of this Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such holder, to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price then in effect.

 

1.2.         Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in subsection 1.1 except that the amount payable by the holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock designated by the holder in the subscription at the end hereof by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect. On any such partial exercise the Company at its expense will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the holder hereof or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant or Warrants may still be exercised.

 

1.3.         Payment by Notes Surrender. Notwithstanding the payment provisions of subsections 1.1 and 1.2, all or part of the payment due upon exercise of this Warrant in full or in part may be made by the surrender by such holder to the Company of any of the Company’s Notes issued pursuant to the Agreement and such Notes so surrendered shall be credited against such payment in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus premium (if any) and accrued interest to the date of surrender.

 

1.4            Net Issue Election. The holder hereof may elect to receive, without the payment by such holder of any additional consideration, shares equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such holder, at the office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to such holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)
    A

 

where X =                                          the number of shares to be issued to such holder pursuant to this subsection 1.4.

 

Y =                                       the number of shares covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this subsection 1.4.

 

A =                                       the fair market value of one share of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, as at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this subsection 1.4.

 

B =                                       the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this subsection 1.4.

 


 

The Board of Directors of the Company shall promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the holder hereof as to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock.

 

1.5.         Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such holder any such rights.

 

1.6.         Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of the Warrants pursuant to subsection 4.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent appointed pursuant to section 12 and shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this section 1.

 

2.              Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof, or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then current market value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to section 1 or otherwise.

 

3.              Adjustment for Dividends in Other Stock, Property, etc.; Reclassification, etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall have received, or (on or after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders eligible to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,

 

(a)         other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) by way of dividend, or

 

(b)         any cash (excluding cash dividends payable solely out of earnings or earned surplus of the Company), or

 

(c)          other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement,

 

other than additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued as a stock dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which are provided for in subsection 5.4), then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in section 1, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the

 


 

cases referred to in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this section 3) which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise if on the date hereof he had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and all such other or additional stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this section 3) receivable by him as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by sections 4 and 5.

 

4.              Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.

 

4.1.         Reorganizations, Mergers, Etc.. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, the holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in sections 3 and 5.

 

4.2.         Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this section 4 to a bank or trust company having its principal office in Boston, Massachusetts, as trustee for the holder or holders of the Warrants.

 

4.3.         Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this section 4, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in section 6.

 

5.              Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. In the event that the Company shall (i) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and

 


 

the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this subsection 5. The holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in section 1, be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this subsection 5) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Purchase Price which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this subsection 5) be in effect, and (ii) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

 

6.              No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable on the exercise of the Warrants above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding, and (c) will not transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other person (corporate or otherwise), or consolidate with or merge into any other person or permit any such person to consolidate with or merge into the Company (if the Company is not the surviving person), unless such other person shall expressly assume in writing and will be bound by all the terms of the Warrants.

 

7.              Accountants’ Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause independent certified public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to each holder of a Warrant, and will, on the written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish to such holder a like certificate setting forth the Purchase Price at the time in effect and showing how it was calculated.

 


 

8.              Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of

 

(a)         any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class or securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or

 

(b)         any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person, or

 

(c)          any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or

 

(d)         any proposed issue or grant by the Company of any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or any right or option to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities (other than the issue of Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrants),

 

then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and (iii) the amount and character of any stock or other securities, or rights or options with respect thereto, proposed to be issued or granted, the date of such proposed issue or grant and the persons or class of persons to whom such proposed issue or grant is to be offered or made. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.

 

9.              Reservation of Stock, etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrants.

 

10.       Exchange of Warrants. On surrender for exchange of any Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company, the Company at its expense will issue and deliver to or on the order of the holder thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such holder (on payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.

 


 

11.       Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

 

12.       Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to each holder of a Warrant, appoint an agent having an office in either Boston, Massachusetts or New York, New York for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of the Warrants pursuant to section 1, exchanging Warrants pursuant to section 10, and replacing Warrants pursuant to section 11, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

 

13.       Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
