THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR EXCHANGED.

Event of Default For the purposes of this Note, the Company shall be in default upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each such event being an "Event of Default"):

(a) default shall be made in the payment of any installment of principal or interest on this Note or any other sum secured hereby when due and the Company fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after written notice of default is sent to the Company;

(b) there is a material default by the Company in the observance or performance of any non-monetary covenant or agreement contained herein and the Company fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice of default is sent to the Company (or within such other time period as may be therein specifically provided);


(c) failure of the Company to comply in any way with the obligations, terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Agreement, or breach by the Company of any obligations, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that is not cured within thirty (30) days from the date the Subscriber delivers notice of such failure or breach to the Company;

(d) filing of a petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws by or against the Company, which filing or proceeding, is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing or commencement thereof, or if the Company shall cease or suspend the conduct of its usual business or if the Company shall become, or in light of its usual business conditions is likely to become, insolvent and is unable to pay its debts or liabilities as they fall due;

(e) a petition to a court of competent jurisdiction shall be filed for the entry of an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against the Company seeking any reorganization, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, and such  petition shall remain unvacated or not removed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive) from the first date of entry thereof or rejected by such court; or any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any part of the Assets, or of any or all of the royalties, revenues, rents, issues or profits thereof, shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of the Company and such appointment shall remain unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive);

(f) a writ of execution or attachment or any similar process shall be issued or levied against all or any part of or interest in the Assets, or any judgment involving monetary damages shall be entered against the Company which shall become a lien on the Assets or any portion thereof or interest therein and such execution, attachment or similar process or judgment is not released, bonded, satisfied, vacated or stayed within sixty (60) days after its entry or levy; or

(g) the Company ceases or threatens to cease to carry on its business; or

(h) the Company admits its inability to pay its debts upon their falling due.

If any Event of Default occurs, subject to any cure period, the full Principal Amount, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof to the date of acceleration shall become, at the Holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash.  Upon payment of the full Principal Amount, together with interest and a default interest at the rate of 12% per annum (accruing as from the time of occurrence of the Event of Default) and other amounts owing in respect thereof, in accordance herewith, this Note shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Company.  The Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law.  Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Note holder until such time, if any, as the full payment under this Section 2 shall have been received by it.  No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

3. ConversionThis Note, all or any part of the Principal Amount of the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be convertible into the following: (i) Units consisting of (1) Conversion Shares and one (1) Warrant Share (such Warrant Shares to be issued at the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of the Warrant).


3.1 Conversion Price; Conversion Shares.  The conversion price for the Principal Amount and interest accrued under this Note shall be $7.00 ("Conversion Price").  The number of Units issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be converted by (y) the applicable Conversion Price.

1.2 Mandatory Conversion

           (a)  The entire Principal Amount under this Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically convert into Units if at any time from and after the issue date hereof, the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or other national stock exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted) equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (which amount may be adjusted for certain capital events, such as stock splits, as described herein) for ten (10) consecutive Trading Days (a "Conversion Event"). The Principal Amount under this Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall convert at $7.00 per share.  Within five (5) Business Days after such Conversion Event, the Company shall notify the Holder that the Note must be automatically converted pursuant to this Section 3.2 and specify the Principal Amount of the Note and accrued interest that will automatically converted and the date on which such conversion was effected.

(b) On the Maturity Date, the Principal Amount plus all accrued interest shall convert into Units.

3.3 Voluntary Conversion. During the Conversion Period (as may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement), this Note shall be convertible (pursuant to Section 1.2 and 1.3 of the Subscription Agreement), in whole or in part, into Units  at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time, at the applicable Conversion Price.  The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the forms of which is attached hereto as Annex A for conversion into the Units ("Notice of Conversion"), specifying therein the Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest, if any, to be converted, and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the "Conversion Date").  If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder.  To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire Principal Amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted in which case the Holder shall surrender this Note as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such conversion without delaying the Company's obligation to deliver the Units otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note.  Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s).  The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such Notice of Conversion.  The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

3.4 Reservation of Common Stock.  Orgenesis Inc. shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock to be issued as the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares upon conversion of the Outstanding Amount into the Units.

3.5 Delivery.  In the event the Holder elects to convert the Principal Amount and interest owed under this Note into Units, then not later than ten Business Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder, either by overnight courier service to the address of the Holder set out on page 1 of this Note (or such other address as the Holder may notify the Company of from time to time in accordance with Section 5 hereof) or electronically, at the discretion of the Holder, certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrants (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable law) representing the aggregate number of Conversion Shares and Warrants being acquired upon conversion.


3.6 Fractional Shares and Warrants.  Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of any Conversion Shares or Warrants, and the number of Conversion Shares and Warrants shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

3.7 Issuance of Replacement Note.  Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the written request of the Holder, be issued by the Company to the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which shall not have been converted or paid, provided Holder has surrendered an original Note to the Company.  In the event that the Holder elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note.

4. Adjustments

4.1 If, at any time while any portion of this Note remains outstanding, the Company effectuates a stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price and any other amounts calculated as contemplated hereby or by any of the other Agreements shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action.  By way of illustration, and not in limitation, of the foregoing,  (i) if the Company effectuates a 2:1 split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such split, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be one-half of what it had been immediately prior to such split; (ii) if the Company effectuates a 1:10 reverse split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such reverse split, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be ten times what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; and (iii) if the Company declares a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for every 10 shares outstanding, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such dividend, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be such amount multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of shares (10 in the example) for which a dividend share will be issued and the denominator is such number of shares plus the dividend share(s) issuable or issued thereon (11 in the example).

4.2 In case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the capital of the Company or in case of the consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other company or of the sale of the assets of the Company as or substantially as an entirety or of any other company, this Note  shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital, consolidation, merger, amalgamation or sale, confer the right to convert into that number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the company resulting from such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation or to which such sale shall be made, as the case may be, to which the Holder of the shares deliverable at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital, consolidation, merger, amalgamation or sale had the Note been converted would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation or sale and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders of the Notes to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonable be expected in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants.  The subdivision or consolidation of the shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares (whether with or without par value) shall not be deemed to be a capital reorganization or a reclassification of the capital of the Company for the purposes of this Section.
