WARRANT AGREEMENT
THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT, dated as of February __, 2000, is entered into
by and between BioSphere Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and the undersigned purchaser (the "Purchaser").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell pursuant to a Stock and Warrant
Purchase Agreement, dated as of February __, 2000 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by
and between the Company and the Purchaser, ___ shares of common stock, par value
$.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") and warrants (each, a
"Warrant", and collectively, the "Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of
___ shares (subject to adjustment) of Common Stock (the Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants being referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares");
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
WARRANT CERTIFICATES
Section 1.1 FORMS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. The warrant certificates
(the "Warrant Certificates") shall be issued in registered form only and,
together with the form of the election to purchase (the "Election to Purchase"),
and assignment (the "Assignment") to be attached thereto, shall be substantially
in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto and, in addition, may have such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such
legends, summaries, or endorsements stamped, printed, lithographed or engraved
thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, or as, in any particular case, may be required in
the opinion of counsel for the Company, to comply with any law or with any rule
or regulation of any regulatory authority or agency, or to conform to customary
usage.
Section 1.2 EXECUTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. The Warrant Certificates
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman or President or any
Vice President and attested to by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, either
manually or by facsimile signature printed thereon. In case any authorized
officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates
shall cease to be an officer of the Company either before or after delivery
thereof by the Company to any Purchaser, the signature of such person on such
Warrant Certificates shall be valid nevertheless and such Warrant Certificates
may be issued and delivered to those persons entitled to receive the Warrants
represented thereby with the same force and effect as though the person who
signed such Warrant Certificates had not ceased to be an officer of the Company.
Section 1.3 REGISTRATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. The Company shall
number and register the Warrant Certificates in a register as they are needed.
The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s) of the Warrant
Certificates (the "Holders") as the absolute owner(s) thereof for all purposes.
Section 1.4 EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. The Warrants
(and any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants) shall be
transferable only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement and shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
"NEITHER THE ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE NOR THE ISSUANCE OF ANY SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), NOR UNDER THE
SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS OF ANY STATE. SUCH SECURITIES
MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED
OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (ii) ANY EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. ANY TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
CONTAINED IN A STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS
OF FEBRUARY 4, 2000, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN A WARRANT AGREEMENT DATED AS
OF FEBRUARY 4, 2000, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. A COMPLETE
AND CORRECT COPY OF THE FORM OF SUCH STOCK AND WARRANT
PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR WARRANT AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED BY
THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND
WITHOUT CHARGE."
The Company may from time to time register the transfer of any
outstanding Warrant Certificates in a warrant register to be maintained by the
Company upon surrender thereof accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the
Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof
or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new
Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s).
2
Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the Holder(s)
thereof, when surrendered to the Company at the address set forth in Section 4.5
hereof for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and
representing in the aggregate a like number of Warrant Shares; PROVIDED that the
Company shall not be required to issue any Warrant Certificate representing any
fractional Warrant Shares.
Section 1.5 LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT CERTIFICATES.
If any Warrant Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company shall issue, execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and
upon cancellation of a mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of or in
substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant
Certificate representing an equivalent number of Warrants or Warrant Shares. If
required by the Company, the Holder of the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed
Warrant Certificate must provide indemnity sufficient to protect the Company
from any loss which it may suffer if the Warrant Certificate is replaced. Any
such new Warrant Certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
Section 1.6 CANCELLATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Any Warrant
Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of Warrants or for exchange or
transfer, or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, shall be canceled
and shall not be reissued by the Company; and, except as provided in Section 2.5
hereof in case of the exercise of less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a
Warrant Certificate or in Section 1.4 in an exchange or transfer, no Warrant
Certificate shall be issued hereunder in lieu of such canceled Warrant
Certificate. Any Warrant Certificate so canceled shall be destroyed by the
Company.
ARTICLE II
WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Section 2.1 EXERCISE PRICE. Each Warrant Certificate shall, when signed
by the Chairman or President or any Vice President and attested to by the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, entitle the Holder thereof to
purchase from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares evidenced
thereby at a purchase price of $20.00 per share or such adjusted number of
Warrant Shares at such adjusted purchase price as may be established from time
to time pursuant to the provisions of Article III hereof, payable in full in
accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, at the time of exercise of the Warrant.
Except as the context otherwise requires, the term "Exercise Price" as used in
this Agreement shall mean the purchase price of one share of Common Stock,
reflecting all appropriate adjustments made in accordance with the provisions of
Article III hereof.
Section 2.2 REGISTRATION OF WARRANTS AND WARRANT SHARES. Except as
provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and Warrant Shares shall not be
registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Section 2.3 PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. The Warrants may be
exercised at the Exercise Price at any time after the date hereof and prior to
the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined). The Warrants shall expire at 5:00
p.m., Boston time, on February 4, 2005 (the "Expiration Date"). The Warrants may
be exercised by surrendering the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants
to the
3
Company at its address set forth in Section 4.5 hereof, together with the
Election to Purchase duly completed and executed, accompanied by payment in
full, as set forth below, to the Company of the Exercise Price for each Warrant
Share in respect of which such Warrants are being exercised. Such Exercise Price
shall be paid in full by cash or a certified check or a wire transfer in same
day funds in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares then being purchased.
Section 2.4 ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. As soon as practicable after the
Date of Exercise (as defined in Section 3.9) of any Warrants, the Company shall
issue, or cause its transfer agent to issue, a certificate or certificates for
the number of full Warrant Shares, registered in accordance with the
instructions set forth in the Election to Purchase, together with cash for
fractional shares as provided in Section 3.10. All Warrant Shares issued upon
the exercise of any Warrants shall be validly authorized and issued, fully paid,
non-assessable, free of preemptive rights and (subject to Section 4.1 hereof)
free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests in respect of the
issuance thereof. Each person in whose name any such certificate for Warrant
Shares is issued shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of
record of the Common Stock represented thereby on the Date of Exercise of the
Warrants resulting in the issuance of such shares, irrespective of the date of
issuance or delivery of such certificate for Warrant Shares.
Section 2.5 CERTIFICATES FOR UNEXERCISED WARRANTS. In the event that,
prior to the Expiration Date, a Warrant Certificate is exercised in respect of
fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise, a new Warrant
Certificate representing the remaining Warrant Shares shall be issued and
delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof; PROVIDED that the Company shall not
be required to issue any Warrant Certificate representing any fractional Warrant
Shares.
Section 2.6 RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, for issuance upon the
exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of its authorized but unissued shares
or treasury shares, or both, of Common Stock which may then be issuable upon the
exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.
Section 2.7 NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not by any action,
including, without limitation, amending 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 actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of the Holders against impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of
any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants above the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par
value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any Warrant, and (c) use reasonable best efforts to
obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public
regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants.

ARTICLE III
ADJUSTMENTS AND NOTICE PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In case the Company shall (i)
declare a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding shares of its
Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the
outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii)
combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date
for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
thereto by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately before such dividend, distribution,
subdivision, combination or reclassification, and of which the denominator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any shares
of Common Stock of the Company issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed
to have been issued immediately prior to the record date for such dividend for
purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company under this Section 3.l. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event specified above shall occur.
Section 3.2 NO ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment in the
Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof need be
made unless such adjustment would amount to a change of at least 0.5% in such
Exercise Price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount by which any adjustment is
not made by reason of the provisions of this Section 3.2 shall be carried
forward and taken into account at the time of any subsequent adjustment in the
Exercise Price.
Section 3.3 ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3.l hereof, each Warrant shall thereupon
evidence the right to purchase that number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the
nearest hundredth of a share) obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon exercise of the
Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately
after such adjustment.
Section 3.4 REORGANIZATIONS. In case of any capital reorganization,
other than in the cases referred to in Section 3.1 hereof, or the consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger
or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which
does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock or the conversion of such outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares
of other stock or other securities or property), or the sale or conveyance of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety
(collectively such actions being hereinafter referred to as "Reorganizations"),
there shall thereafter be deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant (in lieu of
the number of Warrant Shares theretofore deliverable) the number of shares of
stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of Warrant
Shares which would otherwise have been deliverable upon the exercise of such
Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if such Warrant had
been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization. In case of any
Reorganization, appropriate adjustment, as determined in good faith by the
5
Board of Directors of the Company, shall be made in the application of the
provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests of Holders
so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as
nearly as possible, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter
deliverable upon exercise of Warrants. Any such adjustment shall be made by and
set forth in a supplemental agreement prepared by the Company or any successor
thereto, between the Company and any successor thereto, and shall for all
purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
Section 3.5 VERIFICATION OF COMPUTATIONS. The Company shall select a
firm of independent public accountants (which may be its outside auditors),
which selection may be changed from time to time, to verify each computation
and/or adjustment made in accordance with this Article III. The certificate,
report or other written statement of any such firm shall be conclusive evidence
of the correctness of any computation made under this Article III. Promptly upon
its receipt of such certificate, report or statement from such firm of
independent public accountants, the Company shall deliver a copy thereof to each
Holder.
Section 3.6 NOTICE OF CERTAIN ACTIONS. In the event the Company shall
(a) declare any dividend payable in Common Stock to the holders of its Common
Stock, or (b) effect any reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a
reclassification involving merely the subdivision or combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock) or any capital reorganization or any consolidation or
merger (other than a merger in which no distribution of securities or other
property is made to holders of Common Stock) or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety,
or the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; then, in each such
case, the Company shall cause notice of such proposed action to be mailed to
each Holder at least thirty (30) days prior to such action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in the event that the Company provides public notice of such action
specifying the information set forth below at least ten (10) days prior to such
action, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to provide
notice pursuant to this Section 3.6. Such notice shall specify the date on which
the books of the Company shall close, or a record be taken, for determining
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend or other
distribution or such rights or options, or the date on which such
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, other
disposition, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or exchange shall take place
or commence, as the case may be, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive securities or
other property deliverable upon such action, if any such date has been fixed.
Such notice shall be mailed in the case of any action covered by item (a) of
this Section 3.6, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for
determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of receiving such payment
or offer, and in the case of any action covered by item (b) of this Section 3.6,
at least ten (10) days prior to the earlier of the date upon which such action
is to take place or any record date to determine holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive such securities or other property.
Section 3.7 CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever any adjustment is to
be made pursuant to this Article III, the Company shall prepare a certificate
executed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth such
adjustments to be mailed to each Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior
thereto, such notice to include in reasonable detail (a) the events
precipitating the adjustment, (b) the computation of any adjustments, and (c)
the Exercise Price and the number of shares or the securities or other property
6
purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after giving effect to such
adjustment. Such Certificate shall be accompanied by the accountant's
verification required by Section 3.5 hereof.
Section 3.8 WARRANT CERTIFICATE AMENDMENTS. Irrespective of any
adjustments pursuant to this Article III, Warrant Certificates theretofore or
thereafter issued need not be amended or replaced, but certificates thereafter
issued shall bear an appropriate legend or other notice of any adjustments;
PROVIDED the Company may, at its option, issue new Warrant Certificates
evidencing Warrants in such form as may be approved by its Board of Directors to
reflect any adjustment in the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
purchasable under the Warrants.
Section 3.9 FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required upon
the exercise of any Warrant to issue fractional Warrant Shares which may result
from adjustments in accordance with this Article III to the Exercise Price or
number of Warrant Shares purchasable under each Warrant. If more than one
Warrant is exercised at one time by the same Holder, the number of full Warrant
Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed based
on the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of such
Warrants. With respect to any final fraction of a share called for upon the
exercise of any Warrant or Warrants, the Company shall pay an amount in cash to
the Holder of the Warrants in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal
to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the Date of Exercise
of such Warrants, multiplied by such fraction. All calculations under this
Section 3.9 shall be made to the nearest hundredth of a share.
As used in this Agreement: (a) the term "Fair Market Value," on a per
share basis, means the average of the daily Closing Prices (as hereinafter
defined) of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days (as
hereinafter defined) ending the Trading Day immediately preceding the Date of
Exercise; (b) the term "Date of Exercise" with respect to any Warrant means the
date on which such Warrant is exercised as provided herein; (c) the term
"Closing Price" for any date shall mean the last sale price reported in THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such
date, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices regular way, in
either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is admitted to trading or listed if that is the principal market for the
Common Stock or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange or if such national securities exchange is not the principal market for
the Common Stock, the last sale price as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc.'s National Market ("Nasdaq") or its successor, if any, or if the Common
Stock is not so reported, the average of the reported bid and asked prices in
the over-the-counter market, as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau,
Inc., or if such firm is not then engaged in the business of reporting such
prices, as furnished by any similar firm then engaged in such business and
selected by the Company or, if there is no such firm, as furnished by any member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") selected by the
Company or, if the Common Stock is not quoted in the over-the-counter market,
the fair value thereof determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors as of a date which is within 15 days of the date as of which the
determination is to be made; and (d) the term "Trading Days" with respect to the
Common Stock means (i) if the Common Stock is quoted on Nasdaq or any similar
system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices, days on
which trades may be made on such system or (ii) if the Common
7
Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange,
days on which such national securities exchange is open for business.

transfer taxes in connection with the subsequent transfer of Warrants or any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares in a name other
than the name in which the Warrants to which such issuance relates were
registered, and, if any such tax would otherwise be payable by the Company, no
