8. Registration.
8.1 Within 30 calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company shall cause a registration statement on Form S-1 (or such other Form appropriate for such purpose) (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act, for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act with respect to (i) the Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Warrant Shares (together, the “Registrable Securities”). The Company shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as possible, but in any event, no later than 90 calendar days following the Closing Date if the Company receives a “No Review” from the Commission or 120 days following the Closing Date if the Company receives a review, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective for three years following such date the Commission declares the Registration Statement effective (the “Effectiveness Period”). Each Investor agrees to provide the Company with any information reasonably requested by the Company for purposes of including such Investor’s securities in the Registration Statement within ten business days following such request. If the Investor does not provide such information, the Company may exclude the Investor’s Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement if the Company reasonably believes such information is necessary to comply with federal securities laws. Such exclusion shall not be consider default or breach of this Agreement by the Company and the Company shall not be subject to any damages including liquidated damages. The Company may include shares of Common Stock other than the Registrable Securities on the Registration Statement as long as the total number of shares of Common Stock (including the Registrable Securities) to be registered in the aggregate on such registration statement does not then exceed 33% of the Company’s public float. The Company may not include any other shares of Common Stock on the Registration Statement until all of the Registrable Securities have been so included or the Investor has agreed in writing to have its Registrable Securities excluded from such Registration Statement.
8.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”), seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a registration statement filed in accordance with this Agreement as constituting a primary offering of securities by or on behalf of the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the Commission does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a continuous at the market offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act by the Investors without being named therein as “underwriters” (a “Resale Registration Statement”), then the Company shall have the right to reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration statement by all Investors, to the extent that the Staff or the Commission shall permit such registration statement to become effective as a Resale Registration Statement. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities by decreasing the Common Stock first pro rata by Investor based on dollar amount invested pursuant to this Agreement. If such reductions are not sufficient, the Company may reduce the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A warrants, then the Series C warrants and then the Series B warrants.
8.3 In the event that the inclusion of Registrable Securities by a particular Investor or a particular type of Investor is the cause of the refusal by the Staff or the Commission to allow such registration statement to become effective as a Resale Registration Statement, the Registrable Securities held by such Investor or type of Investors shall be the only Registrable Securities subject to reduction (and if by a set of Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to such Investors or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares by all such Investors). In addition, if the Staff or the Commission requires any Investor seeking to sell under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Investor does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall be entitled, following good faith discussions with the Staff and/or the Commission and the affected Investor, to reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, until such time as the Staff or the Commission does not require such identification.
8.4 Subject to Section 8.5 below, in the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement, an affected Investor shall have the right, solely following such time as the Company is able to effect the registration of any such Registrable Securities in accordance with any restrictions which were imposed

- 6 -


 

on it by the Commission, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor, to require the Company to file an additional registration statement on Form S-1 (or such other Form appropriate for such purpose) with the Commission under the Securities Act for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act within 120 calendar days after the Company’s receipt of any such request (the “Additional Filing Date”) for resale by such Investor, in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Investor, of any Registrable Securities which are not then covered by an existing and effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement) and the Company shall, following such request, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such additional registration statement(s) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than 120 calendar days following the applicable Additional Filing Date (the “Additional Outside Date”), and kept continuously effective for two years after the effective date of any such registration statement (in each such case, the “Additional Effectiveness Period”).
8.5 No Investor will be entitled to require the Company to file a registration statement during any time period that the Investor can sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume restrictions, in each case as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Investors. The Investor agrees to provide such information as is reasonably necessary for the counsel to the Company to make such determination. The Company agrees to provide each Investor up to three legal opinions at Company expense within five years following the date of this Agreement to facilitate such sales. Such obligation is dependent on the Investor complying with Rule 144 and providing such information as reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel to write such opinion.
8.6 If for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, either (a) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to 30 calendar days following the Closing Date or any additional registration statement is not filed on or prior to the Additional Filing Date, in each case covering the Registrable Securities required under this Agreement to be included therein, or (b) a Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission within 90 calendar days following the Closing Date if the Company receives a “No Review” from the Commission or 120 days following the Closing Date if the Company receives a review , or any additional registration statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Additional Outside Date or (c) after the effective date of a Registration Statement or any additional registration statement, without regard for the reason thereunder or efforts therefore, such Registration Statement (or additional registration statement) ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or additional registration statement, or the Investors are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than an aggregate of 30 Trading Days during any 12-month period within the Effectiveness Period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (a) or (b) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 30 Trading Day-period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”)), then, in addition to any other rights the Investors may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Investor an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 0.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Investor for the Unit(s); provided that the aggregate payments pursuant to this Section to any Investor do not exceed 2.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Investor for the Unit(s). The parties agree that the Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement with respect to any Warrants or Warrant Shares.

SCHEDULE B
February _____, 2009
TO: The Investors listed on Schedule A:
I have acted as counsel to Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of ___Units, each Unit comprised of:
     (i) One hundred (100) shares of Common Stock;
     (ii) A Series A Warrant to purchase fifty-eight (58) shares of Common Stock, in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, at an exercise price of $1.87 per share;
     (iii) A Series B Warrants, in substantially the same form as Exhibit B, to purchase seventy-eight (78) shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.13 per share; and
     (iv) For every two shares of Common Stock the Investor purchases upon exercise of a Series B Warrant, the Investor will receive an additional Series C Warrant, in substantially the same form as Exhibit C, at an exercise price of $1.94.
The Units are issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), as set forth in Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
In connection with the opinions expressed herein, I have made such examination of law as I considered appropriate or advisable for purposes hereof. As to matters of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, I have relied, with your permission, upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made by the Company and the Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated
February ___, 2009 and upon such other documents that I deemed necessary.
In rendering this opinion, I have, with your permission, assumed: (a) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies; (c) the genuineness of all signatures; (d) the legal capacity of natural persons; (e) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, factual matters, representations and warranties contained in all of such documents; (f) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all such documents by the Investors, and the legal, valid and binding effect thereof on the Investors; and (g) that the Company and the Investors will act in accordance with their respective representations and warranties as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
I am a member of the bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States of America. I express no opinion with respect to the effect or application of any other laws.

- 12 -


 

The issuance of the Units has been (a) duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, and (b) all such Units, when issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and upon delivery, shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.

Form of Series A Warrants for the Purchase
of
Shares of Common Stock, Par Value $0.0001 per Share
No.                     
Issue Date:
                                        
     THIS CERTIFIES that, for consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and other value received,                      (the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for, and purchase from, OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, at any time or from time to time six months after the date this warrant is issued (the “Initial Exercise Date”) until five years after the Issue Date (the “Exercise Period”), up to an aggregate of                      shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. This Warrant is initially exercisable at a price of $1.87 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this Warrant. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean, depending on the context, the initial exercise price (as set forth above) or the adjusted exercise price per share. The Company may, in its sole discretion, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount or extend the Exercise Period, at any time. Such modifications to the Exercise Price or Exercise Period may be temporary or permanent.
     As used herein, the term “this Warrant” shall mean and include this Warrant and any Warrant or Warrants hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part. Each share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be hereinafter referred to as a “Warrant Share.

- 15 -


 

          1. (a) Subject to the terms of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised at any time in whole and from time to time in part, at the option of the Holder, on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or prior to the end of the Exercise Period. This Warrant shall initially be exercisable in whole or in part for that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as indicated on the first page of this Warrant, for an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price, by delivery to the Company at its office at 1129 North McDowell Blvd., Petaluma, California 94954, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, of:
     (i) a completed Election to Purchase, in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Holder exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant;
     (ii) this Warrant; and
     (iii) subject to Section 1(c) below, payment of an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise in the form of, at the Holder’s option, (A) a certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the Company, or (B) a wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company.
     (b) As used herein:
     (i) “Fair Market Value” of a security shall mean, on any given day, the average of the closing prices of such security’s sales on all securities exchanges on which such security may at the time be listed on such day, or, if there has been no sales on any such exchange on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such day, or, if on such day such security is not so listed, the average of the representative bid and asked prices quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (the “OTCBB”) as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, or, if on such day such security is not quoted on the OTCBB, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the Pink Sheet, LLC, or any similar successor organization. If at any time such security is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted on the OTCBB or the over-the-counter market, the “Fair Market Value” shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, absent manifest error.
     (c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time six months after the date of the issuance of this Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised only at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number as is computed using the following formula:

- 16 -


 

where
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares covered by this Warrant with respect to which the cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined above) of one Warrant Share.
B = the Exercise Price in effect at the time the cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
     (d) Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and cause promptly to be delivered upon such exercise to, or upon the written order of, the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share otherwise issuable upon such exercise.
     (e) If this Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares evidenced by this Warrant at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Period, a new Warrant evidencing the remaining Warrant Shares shall be issued to the Holder, or its nominee(s), without charge therefor.
     (f) In the event that this Warrant is not exercised in full on the last business day of the Exercise Period, the remaining portion of the Warrant will automatically be exercised as described in Section 1(c) above.
     2The Exercise Price for the Warrants in effect from time to time shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
     (a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the

- 17 -


 

record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
     (b) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidence of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which (i) the denominator shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above and (ii) the numerator shall be such Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock, which fair market value shall be reduced by the fair market value of consideration, if any, paid to the Company by holders of Common Stock in exchange for such evidence of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants so distributed, in each case as such Fair Market Value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case, the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of evidences of indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
     (c) All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent.
     (d) The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but may pay the value thereof to the Holder in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share.
     3. Unless registered, the Warrant Shares issued on exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND

- 18 -


 

ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
     4. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, without charge, of like date, tenor and denomination, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
     5. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would cause a breach or violation of the Company’s obligations under any applicable rules or regulations of any market on which the Company’s securities trade.
     6. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this section may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the provisions of this section shall continue to apply. Upon such a

- 19 -


 

change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this section to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
     7. (a) The Holder shall not have, solely on account of its status as a holder of a Warrant, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.
          (b) No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by creditors of Company.
     8. All notices that are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficient if personally delivered, sent by facsimile, or sent by registered or certified mail or Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service.

The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this section may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the provisions of this section shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such

- 28 -


 

9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this section to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
     7. (a) The Holder shall not have, solely on account of its status as a holder of a Warrant, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.
          (b) No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by creditors of Company.
     8. All notices that are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficient if personally delivered, sent by facsimile, or sent by registered or certified mail or Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service. Any notices shall be deemed given upon the earlier of the date when received at, the day when delivered via facsimile or the third day after the date when sent by registered or certified mail or the day after the date when sent by Federal Express to, the address set forth below, unless such address is changed by notice to the other party hereto:

     13. The headings in this Warrant are for convenience only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
     14. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Warrant is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such which may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

Each party hereto accordingly agrees that each other party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Warrant, or any agreement contemplated hereunder, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction, in each instance without being required to post bond or other security and in addition to, and without having to prove the inadequacy of, other remedies at law.

OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES, INC.
Form of Series C Warrants for the Purchase
of
Shares of Common Stock, Par Value $0.0001 per Share
No.                     
Issue Date:
                                        
     THIS CERTIFIES that, for consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and other value received,                      (the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for, and purchase from, OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, at any time or from time to time six months after the date this warrant is issued (the “Initial Exercise Date”) until five years after the Issue Date (the “Exercise Period”), up to an aggregate of                      shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. This Warrant is initially exercisable at a price of $1.94 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this Warrant. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean, depending on the context, the initial exercise price (as set forth above) or the adjusted exercise price per share. The Company may, in its sole discretion, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount or extend the Exercise Period, at any time. Such modifications to the Exercise Price or Exercise Period may be temporary or permanent.
     As used herein, the term “this Warrant” shall mean and include this Warrant and any Warrant or Warrants hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part. Each share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be hereinafter referred to as a “Warrant Share.

- 34 -


 

          1. (a) Subject to the terms of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised at any time in whole and from time to time in part, at the option of the Holder, on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or prior to the end of the Exercise Period. This Warrant shall initially be exercisable in whole or in part for that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as indicated on the first page of this Warrant, for an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price, by delivery to the Company at its office at 1129 North McDowell Blvd., Petaluma, California 94954, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, of:
     (i) a completed Election to Purchase, in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Holder exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant;
     (ii) this Warrant; and
     (iii) subject to Section 1(c) below, payment of an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise in the form of, at the Holder’s option, (A) a certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the Company, or (B) a wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company.
     (b) As used herein:
     (i) “Fair Market Value” of a security shall mean, on any given day, the average of the closing prices of such security’s sales on all securities exchanges on which such security may at the time be listed on such day, or, if there has been no sales on any such exchange on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such day, or, if on such day such security is not so listed, the average of the representative bid and asked prices quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (the “OTCBB”) as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, or, if on such day such security is not quoted on the OTCBB, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the Pink Sheet, LLC, or any similar successor organization. If at any time such security is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted on the OTCBB or the over-the-counter market, the “Fair Market Value” shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, absent manifest error.
     (c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time six months after the date of the issuance of this Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised only at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number as is computed using the following formula:

- 35 -


 

where
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares covered by this Warrant with respect to which the cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined above) of one Warrant Share.
B = the Exercise Price in effect at the time the cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
     (d) Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and cause promptly to be delivered upon such exercise to, or upon the written order of, the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share otherwise issuable upon such exercise.
     (e) If this Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares evidenced by this Warrant at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Period, a new Warrant evidencing the remaining Warrant Shares shall be issued to the Holder, or its nominee(s), without charge therefor.
     (f) In the event that this Warrant is not exercised in full on the last business day of the Exercise Period, the remaining portion of the Warrant will automatically be exercised as described in Section 1(c) above.
     2. The Exercise Price for the Warrants in effect from time to time shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
     (a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or

- 36 -


 

distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
     (b) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidence of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which (i) the denominator shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above and (ii) the numerator shall be such Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock, which fair market value shall be reduced by the fair market value of consideration, if any, paid to the Company by holders of Common Stock in exchange for such evidence of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants so distributed, in each case as such Fair Market Value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case, the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of evidences of indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
     (c) All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent.
     (d) The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but may pay the value thereof to the Holder in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share.
     3. Unless registered, the Warrant Shares issued on exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY

- 37 -


 

RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
     4. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, without charge, of like date, tenor and denomination, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
     5. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would cause a breach or violation of the Company’s obligations under any applicable rules or regulations of any market on which the Company’s securities trade.
     6. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this section may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the provisions of this section shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such

- 38 -


 

9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this section to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
     7. (a) The Holder shall not have, solely on account of its status as a holder of a Warrant, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.
     (b) No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by creditors of Company.
     8. All notices that are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficient if personally delivered, sent by facsimile, or sent by registered or certified mail or Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service. Any notices shall be deemed given upon the earlier of the date when received at, the day when delivered via facsimile or the third day after the date when sent by registered or certified mail or the day after the date when sent by Federal Express to, the address set forth below, unless such address is changed by notice to the other party hereto:

     10. All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company or the Holder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns hereunder.
     11. The validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, as applied to contracts made and performed within such State, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
     12. The provisions hereof have been and are made solely for the benefit of the Company and the Holder, and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right hereunder or by virtue hereof.
     13. The headings in this Warrant are for convenience only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
     14. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Warrant is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

     15. This Warrant is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This Warrant supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

Each party hereto accordingly agrees that each other party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Warrant, or any agreement contemplated hereunder, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction, in each instance without being required to post bond or other security and in addition to, and without having to prove the inadequacy of, other remedies at law.
