(iii) the surrender at the principal office of the Company or to a nationally recognized courier for overnight delivery to the Company, simultaneously with or as soon as practicable following the delivery of the Exercise Notice and the Payment, of this Warrant (or a customary indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).

(b) In lieu of or in addition to exercising this Warrant and making the Payment in cash or by wire transfer pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), the Holder may elect to make the Payment by means of receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or portion thereof being exercised) by delivery and surrender of the Warrant together with the Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms hereof, duly completed to indicate a net issuance exercise and executed by the Holder, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and the Payment (the “Exercise Date”), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the vested Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised on the Delivery Date, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such vested Warrant Shares.

(d) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant have expired or been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than five Business Days after receipt of the Exercise Documents and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant, except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to exercise, less the number purchased.

Section 3. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The Company hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees, as applicable, as follows:

(a) Schedule 3 attached hereto sets forth a true, complete and correct listing, as of the date hereof, of the capitalization of the Company, including all of the Company’s outstanding: (i) shares of Common Stock; (ii) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), and (iii) Derivative Securities, including the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock into which such Derivative Securities are convertible and the applicable current exercise price of such Derivative Securities.

(b) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or in replacement of this Warrant upon issuance will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered.

(c) All Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be duly authorized, and upon issuance will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free from all liens (which term does not include any restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws) and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(d) During the Warrant Exercise Period, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrant at least the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise in full of the rights then represented by this Warrant.

 

5


(e) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.

(f) The Company will ensure that the Warrant Shares may be issued without violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Company or of any requirement of any securities exchange applicable to the Company on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded.

Section 4. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed to (a) grant the Holder any rights to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, (b) confer upon the Holder any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), or receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, or (c) impose any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether asserted by the Company or creditors of the Company, prior to the issuance of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant.

Section 5. Representations of Holder.

(a) The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale. If Holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to Holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any federal or state securities laws. The Company shall not be penalized or disadvantaged by the Holder’s inability to exercise this Warrant due to its inability to make the required representations in connection with the exercise of this Warrant.

(b) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as amended by Section 413 of the Private Fund Investment Advisers Registration Act of 2010 and any applicable rules or regulations or interpretations thereof promulgated by the SEC or its staff.

(c) The Holder is knowledgeable in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of an investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares and understands and acknowledges that such investment is a speculative venture, involves a high degree of risk and is subject to complete risk of loss. The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Warrant and Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time because neither the Warrant and nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act nor under the securities Laws of any state, nor under the Laws of any other country and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder became aware of the offering of the Warrant other than by means of general advertising or general solicitation.

Section 6. Ownership and Transfer.

(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee who has acquired this Warrant in accordance with applicable law and the terms of this Warrant. The Company may treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

(b) This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned except to an Affiliate or a successor of the Holder or in connection with a transfer by the Holder of any indebtedness it owns under the Agreement in which case this Warrant may only be transferred or assigned to the transferee(s) of such indebtedness. Subject to the terms of this Section 6, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office or at the office of its transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto as Exhibit B duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall promptly, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the transferee evidencing the portion of the Warrant certificate so transferred and a new Warrant certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the Warrant certificate not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The delivery of the new Warrant certificate by the Company to the transferee thereof shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant certificate. Subject to the terms of this Section 6, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal office of the Company together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Warrant Holder hereof.

(c) Warrant Shares may only be offered, sold, transferred or assigned in compliance with applicable federal and state law.

Section 7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares; Dividends.

(a) Stock Splits. If the Company subdivides (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b) Issuance of Common Stock Below Adjustment Price. Subject to the provisions of Section 7(c) hereof, if the Company shall issue or sell shares of Common Stock, or Derivative Securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share (determined, in the case of such Derivative Securities, by dividing (i) the total amount receivable by the Company in consideration of the issuance and sale of such Derivative Securities, plus the total consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Derivative Securities) that is lower than the Adjustment Price in effect immediately prior to such sale or issuance, then (A) the number of Warrant Shares thereafter issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased by adding the number of Warrant Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to the product of (x) the Cheap Stock Issued (defined below), multiplied by (y) the Ownership Ratio (defined below); and (B) the Exercise Price shall be reduced by multiplying the then current Exercise Price by a fraction of which, the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such sale or issuance and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares issuable after adjustment pursuant to clause (A), above. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such sale or issuance is made.

Cheap Stock Issued” shall be the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued by the Company as described above minus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Adjustment Price per share of Common Stock.

Fair Market Value” shall be equal to the average VWAP of the Common Stock for the thirty days preceding the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, or Derivative Securities.

Ownership Ratio” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares prior to such time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock underlying any Derivative Securities then outstanding on the date of issuance or sale that is subject to this Section 7(b). For purposes of such adjustments, the shares of Common Stock which the holder of any Derivative Securities that are issued and subject to this Section 7(b) (assuming the exercise or conversion of any such Derivative Securities for cash (not on a “cashless” basis)) shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the date of the sale and issuance of such Derivative Securities.

Trading Market” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE Amex Equities, The Nasdaq Capital Market, The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board.

VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

(c) Dividends.

(i) If the Company declares a dividend or any other distribution upon the Common Stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock or Derivative Securities, the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the declaration of the dividend or distribution will be reduced to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the declaration multiplied by the then effective Exercise Price by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the declaration.

(ii) If the Company shall declare, issue or distribute to any holder or holders of Common Stock a cash dividend or other payment in respect of the Common Stock (any such event being herein called a “Special Distribution”), then at least ten (10) days prior to any record date to determine the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such Special Distribution, the Company shall provide the Holder with written notice thereof, which notice shall provide a description of the terms of the Special Distribution and the date it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to receive such Special Distribution, if any such date has been fixed.

(d) Sections 7(b) and 7(c)(i) shall not apply to: Common Stock or Derivative Securities issued or issuable (i) for compensatory purposes to employees, officers, directors, consultants or other service providers of the Company pursuant to a plan or agreement approved by the board of directors, including the Lighting Science Group Corporation Amended and Restated Equity-Based Compensation Plan, (ii) to settle the Company’s directors’ fees, (iii) pursuant to the exercise or conversion or exchange of Derivative Securities, restricted stock, or other derivative instruments of the Company, (iv) as a dividend on preferred stock of the Company, (v) pursuant to an acquisition of shares or assets of a target company at a value not less than the fair market value as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors acting in good faith, (vi) in connection with a strategic commercial agreement or commercial or other strategic business relationship as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors acting in good faith; provided, that any issuance of Common Stock or Derivative Securities described in clauses (v) and (vi) above shall have a primary purpose other than to raise capital, (vii) in accordance with the issuance of up to 30,000 shares of the Company’s Series J Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 79,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Series J Securities”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per Series J Security, (viii) pursuant to the Rights Offering (as such term is defined in the Series J Subscriptions Agreements, dated as of January 3, 2013, by and between the Company and each of LSGC Holdings II LLC, PCA LSG Holdings, LLC, RW LSG Holdings LLC, Cleantech Europe II (A) LP and Cleantech Europe II (B) LP (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) issuance of up to of 6,000 Series J Securities or (ix) pursuant to the exercise of any

The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

Section 20. No Avoidance. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws or other organizational documents, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of securities or other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all provisions of this Warrant.

Section 21. Entire Agreement. This Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement (including all Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein or therein or delivered hereunder or thereunder) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior express or implied agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties.

Section 22. No Effect Upon Credit Relationships. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Warrant shall affect, limit or impair the rights and remedies of the Holder or any of its Affiliates in its or their capacity as a lender to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any agreement, instrument or document under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has borrowed or may borrow money or has incurred indebtedness (in such capacity, a “Lender”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender, while exercising its right as a Lender will have no duty to consider (a) its status as a direct or indirect

stockholder of the Company, (b) the interests of the Company or (c) any duty it may have to any other direct or indirect stockholders of the Company, except as may be required under the applicable loan documents or by commercial law applicable to creditors generally.

Section 23. Counterparts. This Warrant and any amendments hereto may be executed and delivered with counterpart signature pages or in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original by the Party executing such counterpart, but all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument. The execution and delivery of the signature page, including the electronic delivery of the actual signature, by any Party will constitute the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party.
