AND W ARRANT P URCHASE
A GREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”)
is hereby entered into by and among the Purchasers, O
RTHOVITA , I NC ., a Pennsylvania
corporation (the “ Company ”), and LB I Group
Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Collateral Agent, with reference
to the following (and with the definitions of terms set forth in
Schedule B being applicable hereto):
| |
A. |
The Company has requested that the Purchasers provide the
Company with a $45,000,000 senior secured note purchase facility,
the proceeds of which are to be used by the Company to effect the
RST I Royalty Repurchase, to repay all amounts owed under the GECC
Financing and other Indebtedness of the Credit Parties, to expand
the Company’s sales force, to develop and, from time to time,
to acquire new products, and for other general business purposes of
the Company, including capital expenditures. ! |
| |
B. |
The Purchasers are willing to do so, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof. |
N OW T
HEREFORE , the Purchasers, the Company, and the
Collateral Agent hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. A UTHORIZATION
, S ALE A ND I SSUANCE
O F N OTES A ND W
ARRANTS .
Section 1.1
Authorization.
(a) The Company has
authorized the issue and sale of $45,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of its 10% Senior Secured Notes (the “ Notes
”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution
therefor pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement) due
July 30, 2012. The Notes shall be substantially in the form
set forth on Exhibit A .
(b) The Company has further
authorized the issuance and sale to each Purchaser of Warrants (the
“ Warrants ”, such term to include any such
warrants issued in substitution therefor pursuant to the terms
thereof) to purchase Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
the Company (“ Common Stock ”), each
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B
.
Section 1.2 Sale and
Purchase of the Notes and Warrants; Additional Advances .
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement:
(a) The Company hereby agrees
to issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser agrees,
severally, to purchase from the Company (such transaction, the
“ Initial Issuance ”), a Note, containing the
same terms and conditions as set forth in the form of
1
note attached hereto as
Exhibit A, in the aggregate principal amount equal to the
Commitment of such Purchaser at a purchase price of 25/45
ths
of the aggregate principal
amount of such Note (the “ Purchase Price ”).
The aggregate amount of the Commitments on the Agreement Date is
$45,000,000.
(b) As further consideration
for the purchase of the Notes by the Purchasers pursuant to
Section 1.2(a) , the Company agrees to issue and
deliver to each Purchaser a Warrant to purchase up to that number
of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s
name on Schedule A .
(c) On each Additional
Advance Date occurring during the period from and including the
Closing to but excluding January 27, 2010, each Purchaser
agrees, at the request of the Company, to make additional advances
under the Note held by such Purchaser (each such advance, an
“ Additional Advance ”), in an aggregate
principal amount that, together with all other Loans of such
Purchaser, will not exceed the Commitment of such Purchaser at such
time.
(d) Each Purchaser’s
obligation hereunder is several and not joint with the other
Purchasers’ obligations such that no Purchaser shall have any
obligation or liability to any Person for the performance or
nonperformance by any other Purchaser hereunder.
(e) The Company and each
Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes and Warrants
issued in accordance with this Agreement constitute an
“investment unit” for the purposes of
Section 1273(c)(2)(A) of the Code. In accordance with Sections
1273(c)(2)(A) and 1273(b)(2) of the Code, the issue price of the
investment unit is 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes set forth opposite each such Purchaser’s name on
Schedule A . Allocating that issue price between the Note
and Warrant based on their relative fair market values, as required
by Section 1273(c)(2)(B) of the Code and Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1273-2(h)(1), results in (i) the Notes having
an issue price of 90.9% of the aggregate principal amount of such
Note and (ii) the Warrant having a Purchase Price of 9.1% of
the aggregate principal amount of such Notes. Additional Advances
evidenced by such Notes and Warrants exercisable in connection
therewith shall be allocated in the same manner. The Company and
each Purchaser agrees to prepare their respective federal income
tax returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing
agreement.
Section 1.3 Closing of the
Initial Issuance. The Initial Issuance and the issuance of the
Warrants shall occur at a closing (the “ Closing
”) at the offices of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, at
10:00 a.m. local time on July 30, 2007, or on such other
Business Day thereafter as may be agreed upon by the Company and
all of the Purchasers. At the Closing:
(a) The Company will deliver
to, or at the direction of, each Purchaser the Note to be purchased
thereby, which shall be dated the date of the Closing and
registered in such Purchaser’s name, against delivery by such
Purchaser to the Company of the amount of the Purchase Price
therefor.
2
(b) The Company will deliver
to, or at the direction of, each Purchaser a Warrant, which shall
be dated the date of the Closing and registered in the name of such
Purchaser, evidencing the right of such Purchaser to purchase up to
that number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such
Purchaser’s name on Schedule A .
Section 1.4 Additional
Advances . The Company shall give each Purchaser notice (which
shall be irrevocable) no later than ten (10) Business Days
before the requested date of each Additional Advance (each such
date, an “ Additional Advance Date ”). Each such
notice shall be in the form of Exhibit 1.4 and shall
specify: (i) the requested Additional Advance Date, which
shall be a Business Day; (ii) the aggregate amount of the
Additional Advances to be made on such Additional Advance Date,
which amount shall be not less than the lesser of $5,000,000 and
the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments; and (iii) the
Purchaser’s ratable share of such aggregate amount, based
upon the relationship that such Purchaser’s Commitment bears
to the total amount of the Commitments, in each case on such
Additional Advance Date. Not later than 12:00 a.m. (New York time)
on each Additional Advance Date, each Purchaser shall disburse to
the Company, in immediately available funds, such Purchaser’s
ratable share of the total amount of the Additional Advances to be
made on such date in accordance with such notice.
Section 1.5 Evidence of
Loans . Each Purchaser’s Loans and the Company’s
obligation to repay such Loans, with interest in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, shall be evidenced by this Agreement,
the records of, and the Notes held by, such Purchaser. The records
of each Purchaser and any notations by such Purchaser on any Note
regarding payments made on account of the principal thereof, in
absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding;
provided that in no event shall (i) the failure by a
Purchaser to make any such notation, or (ii) any manifest
error therein obligate the Company to pay any amounts in excess of
amounts otherwise payable hereunder or under such Note.
Section 1.6 Payment Terms
of the Notes . The Notes shall bear interest, in the amounts
and payable at the times set forth therein, and shall be due and
payable in full on the Maturity Date or as otherwise provided for
under this Agreement without defense, set off or counterclaim of
any sort. All payments required to be made under the Notes shall be
made in the manner and to the account of each Purchaser as set
forth in the Notes.
Section 1.7 Reduction of
Commitments. The Company shall give prompt notice to the
Purchasers if, at any time during the period from and including the
Closing to but excluding January 27, 2010, the Company
determines that it does not intend to request any Additional
Advances, whereupon the Commitments shall be reduced to the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans. The Commitments shall
automatically be reduced to the outstanding principal amount of the
Loans on the date of, and after giving effect to, any prepayment of
the Loans pursuant to Section 6.2 .
Section 1.8 Pro Rata
Treatment . Except to the extent otherwise provided herein,
(a) Loans shall be made by the Purchasers pro rata in
accordance with their respective Commitments, (b) each
reduction in the Commitments shall be made pro rata in accordance
with the respective amounts thereof, and (c) each payment of
the principal of, or interest on, the Notes shall be made for the
account of the Purchasers pro rata in accordance with their
respective amounts thereof then due and payable.

scheduled dates of payment.

Effect;

knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim, public
or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or damage to the
environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to
real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any
Credit Party or to other assets of the Credit Parties or their use,
except, in each case, such as would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Materially Adverse Effect;
(c) no Credit Party has
stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly
owned, leased or operated by any of them or has disposed of any

in each case in any manner that could reasonably be expected to

(b) has capital that is not unreasonably small in relation to
its businesses as presently conducted or any undertaken
transaction; and (c) does not intend to incur and does not
believe that it will incur debts beyond its ability to pay such
debts as they become due. For purposes of this Section 3.19,
in computing the amount of contingent liabilities of any Credit

circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that
reasonably can be expected to become an actual matured liability of
such Credit Party.
Section 3.20 Status of
Security Interest. The Collateral Documents create in favor of
the Collateral Agent a legal, valid and enforceable security
interest in the Collateral. When financing statements describing

Document, in each case naming the Collateral Agent as the secured
party and each Credit Party that is a party to such Collateral
Document, as the debtor, have been filed in the places set forth in
such Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent will have a fully
perfected first priority Lien on, and security interest in, the
such Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by
such filing, subject only to Permitted Liens.

Purchaser’s own account only and not with a view to, or for
resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is an
“accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and, in any case,
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing
such Note and Warrant. Such Purchaser has not been formed for the
purpose of investing such Note and Warrant.
(b) Such Purchaser
understands that the Note and Warrant that such Purchaser is
purchasing have not been registered under the Securities Act by
reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends
upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of such
Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.
13
(c) Such Purchaser further
acknowledges and understands that the Securities must be held
indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available
and the Securities may be imprinted with a legend indicating such
restrictions on the transferability thereof.
(d) Such Purchaser
understands that the Securities are presently characterized as
“restricted securities” under the federal securities
laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such
laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold
without registration under the Securities Act only in certain
limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser
represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in
effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and
by the Securities Act.
(e) Such Purchaser represents
that at least one of the following statements is an accurate
representation as to each source of funds (a “ Source
”) to be used by such Purchaser to pay the Purchase Price of
the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:
(i) if such Purchaser is an
insurance company, the Source does not include assets allocated to
any separate account maintained by such company in which any
employee benefit plan (or its related trust) has any interest,
other than a separate account that is maintained solely in
connection with such company’s fixed contractual obligations
under which the amounts payable, or credited, to such plan and to
any participant or beneficiary of such plan (including any
annuitant) are not affected in any manner by the investment
performance of the separate account; or
(ii) the Source is either
(i) an insurance company pooled separate account, within the
meaning of Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“ PTE
”) 90-1 (issued January 29, 1990), or (ii) a bank
collective investment fund, within the meaning of the PTE 91-38
(issued July 12, 1991) and, except as such Purchaser has
disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this paragraph (b),
no employee benefit plan or group of plans maintained by the same
employer or employee organization beneficially owns more than 10%
of all assets allocated to such pooled separate account or
collective investment fund; or
(iii) the Source constitutes
assets of an “investment fund” (within the meaning of
Part V of the QPAM Exemption) managed by a “qualified
professional asset manager” or “QPAM” (within the
meaning of Part V of the QPAM Exemption), no employee benefit
plan’s assets that are included in such investment fund, when
combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans
established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate
(within the meaning of Section V(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of
such employer or by the same employee organization and managed by
such QPAM, exceed 20% of the total client assets managed by such
QPAM, the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM
Exemption are satisfied, neither the QPAM nor a person controlling
or
14
controlled by the QPAM
(applying the definition of “control” in Section V(e)
of the QPAM Exemption) owns a 10% or more interest in the Company
and (x) the identity of such QPAM and (y) the names of
all employee benefit plans whose assets are included in such
investment fund have been disclosed to the Company in writing
pursuant to this paragraph (iii); or
(iv) the Source is a
governmental plan; or
(v) the Source is one or more
employee benefit plans, or a separate account or trust fund
comprised of one or more employee benefit plans, each of which has
been identified to the Company in writing pursuant to this
paragraph (v); or
(vi) the Source does not
include assets of any employee benefit plan, other than a plan
exempt from the coverage of ERISA.
As used in this Section 4.1
, the terms “ employee benefit plan, ” “
governmental plan, ” “ party in interest
” and “ separate account ” shall have the
respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of
ERISA.
Section 4.2 Exculpation of
the Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not
relying upon any Person (including the Collateral Agent or any
other Purchaser), other than the Credit Parties and their
respective officers (acting in their respective capacities as
representatives of the Credit Parties), in deciding to invest and
in making its investment in the purchase of the Notes and Warrants.
Each Purchaser agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, any other
Purchaser, or any of their respective controlling Persons,
officers, directors, partners, agents or employees shall be liable
to such Purchaser for any losses incurred by such Purchaser in
connection with its purchase of the Notes and Warrants.

them is subject, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws,
and to obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates,
permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary
to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct
of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent
necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances
or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or
maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises
and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse
Effect.
Section 7.2 Insurance.
The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
maintain, with financially sound insurers, insurance with respect
to their respective properties and businesses against such
casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in
such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self
insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect
thereto) as is customary in the case of similarly situated entities
of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar
business and similarly situated. The Collateral Agent shall be
named as “Purchaser’s loss payee” on all
insurance policies relating to any Collateral and as
“additional insured” under all liability policies
(except Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance, automobile
insurance, workers’ compensation, fiduciary liability and
employment practices), in each case pursuant to appropriate
endorsements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent.
Section 7.3 Maintenance of

Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and
kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and
condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business
carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all
times, except where the failure to maintain or keep, or the
discontinuance of the operation of, such properties could not
reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse
Effect.
Section 7.4 Payment of
Taxes and Claims. The Company will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any
jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and
payable on such returns and all other taxes,
19
assessments, governmental charges, or
levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income
or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become
due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all
claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or
might become a Lien (other than Liens permitted by
Section 8.3 ) on properties or assets of the Company or
any Subsidiary; provided that neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment or charge or claim
if the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by
the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and
in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has
established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on
the books of the Company or such Subsidiary.
Section 7.5 Corporate

Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, and the

similar demand investment account that is pledged to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers as collateral security for
the prompt and full payment of the Notes and which such account is
subject to a control account agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, between the
applicable financial intermediary where such account is held and
the Collateral Agent (such account, the “ Cash Maintenance
Account ”). Until exercise by the Collateral Agent of its
control rights as hereinafter provided, the Company shall have the
right to withdraw amounts from the Cash Maintenance Account without
the consent of the Collateral Agent. If at any time the cash
balance in the Cash Maintenance Account falls below an amount equal
to 40% of the outstanding principal amount on the Notes at such
time, then, within five Business Days thereafter, the Company shall
provide to, and maintain in favor of, the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Purchasers, one or more direct pay letters of credit
(such letters of credit, “ Collateral L/Cs ”)
having at all times an aggregate stated amount at least equal to
the Minimum Required Amount. The Collateral L/Cs shall be in form
and substance, and issued by commercial banks located in the United
States, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Collateral L/C shall (i) have a tenor of at
least 364 days and (ii) shall provide that it may not be
terminated without the consent of the Collateral Agent and that it
may been drawn by the Collateral Agent upon certification that such

maintain Collateral L/Cs as required hereunder, or during the
occurrence of a Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise its
control rights over the Cash Maintenance Account and/or draw under
any Collateral L/Cs and apply the proceeds thereof in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Collateral Documents.
Delivery and maintenance of Collateral L/Cs complying with the
terms of this Section 7.6 shall be in lieu of, and
deemed to satisfy the requirements of the first sentence hereof.
If, after delivery and maintenance by the Company of Collateral
L/Cs at all times in compliance with this Section 7.6 ,
(y) the cash balance in the Cash Maintenance Account is
restored to an amount greater than or equal to the Minimum Required
Amount and
20
such amount is maintained for a period
of 30 consecutive days, and (z) no Default shall have occurred
or been continuing during such 30 day period, then the Collateral
Agent shall consent to the termination of the Collateral L/Cs, and
the rights and obligations of the Company and the Collateral Agent
under this Section 7.6 shall be restored as if cash in
the Minimum Required Amount were at all times maintained in the
Cash Maintenance Account.
