Warrants does not, and the performance of this Agreement and the Warrants and
the compliance with the provisions hereof and thereof and the issuance, sale and
delivery of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares by Matritech will
not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of the terms, conditions
or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or

amended, of Matritech or any statute, law, rule or regulation or any state or
federal order, judgement or decree or any indenture, mortgage, lease or other

2.5 PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM; SEC DOCUMENTS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), or proxy statement
included in or referred to in the Memorandum is a true and complete copy of or
excerpt from such document as filed by Matritech with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") ("SEC Documents"). Matritech has filed all the
documents that Matritech was required to file with the SEC under Sections 13 or
14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), since
the date on which its last report on Form 10-K was filed. As of their respective
filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as applicable. Neither
the Memorandum nor any of the SEC Documents as of their respective dates
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The financial statements of Matritech included in the SEC Documents
or the Memorandum ("Financial Statements") comply as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements. Except as may be indicated in
the notes to the Financial Statements or, in the case of unaudited statements,
as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC, the Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and fairly present the consolidated financial position of
Matritech and any subsidiaries at the dates thereof and the consolidated results
of their operations and consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, recurring
adjustments).
2.6 GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS. No consent, approval, order or authorization
of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any
federal, state, or local governmental authority, including without limitation

Agreement except for (a) compliance with foreign securities laws in the

with the SEC
4
-4-
and NASD either a Current Report on Form 8-K or a Quarterly or Annual Report on

Agreement. The business of Matritech is not being conducted in violation of any
law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, including but not
limited to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, except for violations which
either singly or in the aggregate would not be reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on Matritech's business, financial condition or results
of operations.
2.7 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. Except as otherwise disclosed herein or in
writing or otherwise set forth in the SEC Documents since June 30, 1999, there
has not been:
(a) any changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition,
operations or prospects of Matritech from that reflected in the Financial
Statements except changes in the ordinary course of business which have not
been, either in any individual case or in the aggregate, materially adverse;
(b) any material change in the contingent obligations of Matritech,
whether by way of guarantee, endorsement, indemnity, warranty or otherwise;
(c) any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by
insurance, materially and adversely affecting the properties or business of
Matritech;
(d) any declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution
of the assets of Matritech;
(e) any labor organization activity; or
(f) any other event or condition of any character which has materially
and adversely affected Matritech's assets, liabilities, financial condition or
operations or prospects.
2.8 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Matritech has sufficient title and ownership of
all patents, patent applications, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks,
proprietary information, proprietary rights, and processes necessary for its
business as now conducted and as now proposed to be conducted in the Memorandum
without any conflict with or infringement of the rights of others except as
disclosed in the documents filed with the SEC and appended to the Memorandum, to
the knowledge of Matritech. To the best of Matritech's knowledge, all issued
patents and registered trademarks and copyrights held by Matritech are valid and
subsisting. Matritech has taken all necessary and desirable action to maintain
and protect each item of intellectual property owned or used by Matritech. The
research, development, manufacture, sale, and use of products presently made,
used, or sold by, or contemplated for future manufacture, sale or use by
Matritech, as disclosed in the Memorandum, does not and would not constitute or
involve a significant risk of infringement of any patent or misappropriation of
any trade secret of any third party, except as disclosed in the Memorandum.
Except as disclosed in the documents filed with the SEC and appended to the
Memorandum, there are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of any
kind relating to any material use of the foregoing, nor is Matritech bound by or
a party to any options, licenses, encumbrances or liens, or any outstanding
orders, judgments, decrees, stipulations, or agreements of any kind with respect
to the patents,
5
-5-
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses,
information, proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity that
are material to Matritech's business as currently conducted or proposed to be
conducted in the Memorandum. Matritech has not received any communications
alleging that Matritech, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate
any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, or trade
secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity. Further,
there is no claim pending, or to the best of Matritech's knowledge, threatened
that challenges the validity, enforceability, ownership or right to use, sell,
license, or dispose of any item of intellectual property used or proposed to be
used by Matritech, and, to the best knowledge of Matritech, there is no basis
for any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened). Matritech is not
aware that any of its employees or consultants is obligated under any contract
(including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement,
or subject to any judgement, decree or order of any court or administrative
agency, that is violated by or would materially interfere with the current or
prospective services provided to Matritech by the employee or consultant or the
use of his best efforts to promote the interests of Matritech or that would
materially conflict with Matritech's business as proposed to be conducted in the
Memorandum. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the
carrying on of Matritech's business as proposed, will, to Matritech's knowledge,
conflict with or result in a material breach of the terms, conditions or
provisions of, or constitute a material default under, any contract, covenant or
instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated. To the knowledge
of Matritech, no third party is infringing upon or otherwise violating the
rights of Matritech in any of its intellectual property.
2.9 LITIGATION. Matritech is not engaged in, or a party to, or threatened
with, any claim or legal action or other proceeding before any court, any
arbitrator of any kind or any administrative agency, or any governmental
investigation, which could have a material adverse effect on Matritech's
business, financial condition or results of operations, nor to Matritech's
knowledge does any basis for any claim or legal action or other proceeding or
governmental investigation exist. There are no orders, rulings, decrees,
judgments or stipulations to which Matritech is a party by or with any court,
arbitrator or administrative agency and to Matritech's knowledge, there are no
other such orders, rulings, decrees, judgments or stipulations affecting
Matritech's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.
2.10 CONSISTENT TERMS. If Matritech shall enter into any other agreement,
side letter or other understanding with any other purchaser containing
additional or contrary undertakings or terms to those contained herein in
connection with the issuance and sale of Units at the Closing, Matritech shall
make such undertakings or terms available to Purchaser, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
Purchaser shall not be entitled to reimbursement for legal expenses incurred in
connection with the purchase of the Units.
2.11 INSURANCE. Matritech and its subsidiaries carry insurance in such
amounts and covering such risks as are usually and customarily carried with
respect to similar businesses according to their respective locations. All
insurance premiums of Matritech have been fully paid as due, and the insurance
policies of Matritech and its subsidiaries are in full force and effect.

state and other tax returns required by law to be filed by it, all such tax
returns are true and complete in all
6
-6-
respects, and all taxes (including all sales and withholding taxes) shown to be
due and all additional assessments have been paid. Matritech knows of no
additional assessments or adjustments pending or threatened against Matritech
for any period, nor of any basis for any such assessment or adjustment. The
federal income tax returns of Matritech have never been audited, or to the best
of Matritech's knowledge, threatened to be audited by the Internal Revenue
Service. There is no tax lien (other than for current taxes not yet due and
payable), whether imposed by any federal, state or other taxing authority,
outstanding against the assets, properties or business of Matritech.
2.13 LOANS AND ADVANCES. Matritech has not made any loan or advance to any
person which is outstanding on the date of this Agreement, nor is Matritech
obligated or committed to make any such loan or advance, to any person except
for advances to employees of Matritech in respect of reimbursable business
expenses anticipated to be incurred by them in connection with their performance
of services for Matritech.
2.14 NO BROKERS, FINDERS. Matritech represents that no person, firm or
corporation has or will have, as a result of any act or omission by Matritech,
any right, interest or valid claim against Purchaser for any commission, fee or
other compensation as a finder or broker, or in any similar capacity, in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.15 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. To the best of Matritech's knowledge, no
director or officer of Matritech, or member of the "immediate family" (as such

Securities Act) of any such person, or any corporation, partnership, trust or
other entity in which any such person, or any member of the "immediate family"

the Securities Act) of any such person is an officer, director, trustee, partner
or holder of more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock thereof, is a party
to any transaction with Matritech, including any contract, agreement or other

employed by Matritech, who has access to confidential information of Matritech
has executed a confidentiality, nondisclosure, and noncompetition agreement with
Matritech, and such agreements are in full force and effect. No officer or key
employee of Matritech has advised Matritech (orally or in writing) that he or
she intends to terminate employment with Matritech. To the best of Matritech's
knowledge, Matritech has complied in all material respects with all applicable
laws relating to the employment of labor, including provisions relating to
wages, hours, equal opportunity, collective bargaining and the payment of Social
Security and other taxes, and with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). No officer or other key employee of Matritech is
a party to or bound by any agreement, contract or commitment, or subject to any

thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that the
Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the

that prohibits the transfer of the Shares unless (i) they are registered or such
registration is not required, and (ii) if the transfer is pursuant to an
exemption from registration other than Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and,
if Matritech shall so request in writing, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
Matritech is obtained to the effect that the transaction is so exempt. In
addition, Purchaser will refrain from selling, transferring or otherwise
disposing of any Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, or any interest
therein, in such manner as to cause Matritech to be in violation of the
registration requirements of the Securities Act or applicable state securities

in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection
with the purchase and sale of the Units (and the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants) constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Purchaser
has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole
discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase
of the Units (and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants).

(c) In the case of any registration effected by Matritech pursuant to
these registration provisions, Matritech will use its best efforts to: (i) keep
such registration effective until the later of such time as (A) all of the
Warrants have been exercised, redeemed or expired and (B) all of the Shares and
Warrant Shares have been sold pursuant thereto or, by reason of Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, such shares are no
longer required to be registered for the unrestricted sale thereof by the
Purchaser; (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the

registration statement; (iii) furnish such number of prospectuses and other
documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the
prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request; (iv) use its
best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration
statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as

business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states

such Holder shall, upon written notice to Matritech, be entitled to have
Matritech make such amendment as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding
the above provisions relating to Registration Expenses, in the event that such
an amendment is requested, the Holder shall, at the request of Matritech, be
obligated to reimburse Matritech for reasonable Registration Expenses incurred
by it in connection with such amendment.

to a registration on Form S-3, Matritech hereby covenants and agrees to: (i)
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and
defined in Rule 144, at all times after the closing; (ii) file with the SEC in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of Matritech under the
Securities Act and Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to any Holder, as long as the
Holder owns any Registrable Securities forthwith upon request, (A) a written
statement by Matritech that it has complied with the reporting requirements of
Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of Matritech, and (C) such other information as may
be reasonably requested in order to avail any Holder of any rule or regulation
of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without
registration or pursuant to such Form S-3.
(g) Indemnification.
(i) To the extent permitted by law, Matritech will indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys and experts fees and costs) to which such Holder
may become subject under the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations (collectively a "Violation"): (A) any untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, (B) the omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (C) any violation by Matritech of the Act, the Exchange Act, any
state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the
Exchange Act or any state securities law; and Matritech will pay to each such
Holder, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section 6.2(g)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of Matritech (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall Matritech be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by any such Holder.
(ii) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless Matritech, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons
may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly
for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as
incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended
to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 6.2(g)(ii), in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity
13
-13-
agreement contained in this subsection 6.2(g)(ii) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity
under this subsection 6.2(g)(ii) exceed the net proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 6.2(g) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.2(g), deliver
to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
6.2(g), but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 6.2(g).
(iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.2(g)
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations; provided, that, in no event shall any contribution by a Holder
under this subsection 6.2(g)(iv) exceed the net proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(v) The obligations of Matritech and Holders under this Section
6.2(g) shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in
a registration statement under this Section 6.2(g), and otherwise.

SECTION 7
COVENANTS OF PURCHASER
7.1 NOTICE TO COMPANY OF PROPOSED SALE AND RIGHT OF COMPANY TO SUSPEND USE
OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. If the Purchaser shall propose to sell any
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement, it shall notify
Matritech of its intent to do so at least three (3) full trading days prior to
such sale, and the provision of such notice to Matritech shall conclusively be
deemed to establish an agreement by the Purchaser to comply with the
registration provisions herein described. Unless otherwise specified in such
notice, such notice shall be deemed to constitute a representation that any
information previously supplied by the Purchaser is accurate as of the date of
such notice. At any time within such three (3) trading-day period, Matritech may
refuse to permit the Purchaser to resell any Registrable Securities pursuant to
the registration statement; provided, however, that in order to exercise this
right, Matritech must deliver a certificate in writing to the Purchaser to the
effect that a delay in such sale is necessary because a sale pursuant to such
registration statement in its then-current form could constitute a violation of
the federal securities laws. In no event shall such delay exceed ten (10)
trading days; provided, however, that if, prior to the expiration of such ten
(10) trading day period, Matritech delivers a certificate in writing to the
Purchaser to the effect that a further delay in such sale beyond such ten (10)
trading day period is necessary because the disclosures required to be made for
a sale pursuant to such registration statement to be in compliance with federal
securities laws would be seriously detrimental to Matritech and its
stockholders, Matritech may refuse to permit the Purchaser to resell any
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement for an additional
period not to exceed ten (10) trading days. Matritech may not utilize this right
more than once in any three (3) month period.
7.2 RESTRICTIONS ON SHORT-SALES. The Purchaser shall not engage in any
short-sales of Matritech's Common Stock prior to the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, except to the extent that any such short-sale is fully
covered by freely tradable shares of Common Stock of Matritech.
SECTION 8
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF SHARES
COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT
8.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY. The Shares, Warrants and Warrant
Shares shall not be transferable in the absence of a registration under the
Securities Act or an exemption therefrom or in the absence of compliance with
any term of this Agreement. Matritech shall be entitled to give stop transfer
instructions to the transfer agent with respect to the Shares in order to
enforce the foregoing restrictions.
8.2 RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Each certificate representing Shares, Warrants and
Warrant Shares shall bear substantially the following legends (in addition to
any legends required under applicable securities laws):
15
-15-
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
UNTIL FEBRUARY 20, 2000 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT
BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS PRIOR NOTICE SHALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO
MATRITECH.
The legend contained in this Section 8.2 will be removed from a certificate
if (i) Matritech receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Matritech that the Shares or Warrant Shares represented by such certificates are
available for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (ii) in
Matritech's opinion the Shares or Warrant Shares represented by such
certificates are available for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act, or (iii) such Shares or Warrant Shares are sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement with the SEC.
8.3 LOCK-UP. Purchaser agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose
of any Shares or Warrant Shares for a period of ninety (90) days following the
