term beginning on the Effective Date and ending on November 30, 2010, (the “Term”) unless
Employee’s employment is terminated earlier as provided in Section 4 below. Sections
2, 3, and 5 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of Employee’s
employment with Employer.

     1.2 Duties. At all times during the course of Employee’s employment with Employer,
Employee agrees to perform the duties associated with her position diligently and to devote all of
her business time, attention and efforts to the business of Employer. Employee agrees to comply
with the policies, procedures and guidelines established by Employer from time to time. Employee
agrees to perform her duties faithfully and loyally and to the best of her abilities, and shall use
her best efforts to promote the business of Employer. Employee understands and agrees that both
the business and personal standards and ethics of Employer’s employees must at all times be above
reproach. Employee agrees to act at all times so as to reflect this high standard. Employee
further agrees to abide by all rules, policies, or procedures established by Employer from time to
time. Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of PMFG, Inc. (the “Board”), Employee may
serve on boards of directors or similar management bodies of other businesses or entities provided

affect Employee’s time and attention to her duties under this Agreement.

and supervision of Employer’s Chief Executive Officer.

     1.4 Compensation. During Employee’s employment, Employer will pay Employee a base
annualized salary of One Hundred Sixty Five Thousand Dollars ($165,000.00) (“Base Salary”), less
all applicable withholding as required by law and/or voluntarily elected by Employee, to be paid in
installments in accordance with Employer’s standard payroll practice and schedule. The Board may
adjust the Employee’s annualized salary from time to time at its sole discretion, but Employee’s
Base Salary shall never be reduced below $165,000.00 without her consent. Employer will provide
Employee with Employee benefits generally made available by Employer to other similarly situated
employees, as per company policy. During Employee’s employment, Employer shall reimburse Employee
for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Employee in

 

 

furtherance of Employer’s business interests, including without limitation Employee’s bar dues
for the State Bar of Texas and reasonable and customary expenses for required continuing legal
education, upon appropriate documentation of such expenditures in accordance with Employer’s
general policy.

     1.5 Bonus. Employee shall be eligible to participate in and receive bonuses according
to such bonus structure and plan as may be established or modified from time to time by the
Compensation Committee of the Board on the same basis as other similarly situated officers of the
Employer.

     1.6 Long Term Incentive. Subject to the discretion and approval of the Board,
Employee may be awarded stock awards in the form of options and/or restricted stock on an annual
basis subject to the terms of the applicable incentive plan as such may be established or modified
by the Board from time to time. Employee may be eligible for consideration for a stock award as
part of the fiscal 2010 issuance subject to the approval of the Board.

Section 2. Non-Competition.

     2.1 Non Competition.

     (a) In consideration of her employment under this Agreement and Employer’s agreement to
provide Employee with Confidential Information under Section 3 below, Employee agrees that
during the term of her employment and for a period of one (1) year following termination of
her employment (regardless of whether Employee is terminated without Cause, for Cause (as
defined in Section 4.1(c) below), voluntarily resigns or otherwise), neither
Employee nor any person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under
common control with Employee, shall directly or indirectly, on her own behalf or as an
employee or other agent of or an investor in another person:

     (i) engage in any business conducted by Employer during Employee’s term of
employment with Employer (collectively, the “Business”);

     (ii) influence or attempt to influence any customer or supplier of Employer or
any affiliate of Employer to purchase goods or services related to the Business from
any person other than Employer or such affiliate; or

     (iii) employ or attempt to employ any individuals who are then or have been
employees of Employer or any affiliate of Employer during the preceding 12 months,
or influence or seek to influence any such employees to leave Employer’s or such
affiliate’s employment.

     (b) Employee specifically acknowledges that Employer’s products are sold in a world
market and that Employee has been engaged with regard to Employer’s products and Employer’s
customers throughout the world without geographic limitation, and accordingly that the
restrictive covenant regarding competition contained in this Section 2.1 shall apply
without geographic limitation.

 

 

     (c) Employee acknowledges that her obligations under this Section 2.1 are a
material inducement and condition to Employer’s entering into this Agreement and a material
inducement and condition to Employee receiving or having access to Confidential Information
(as defined in Section 3.1). Employee acknowledges and agrees that the terms and
provisions of this Agreement (including the severance provisions of Section 4.1) and
Employee’s receipt and access to Confidential Information are sufficient consideration for
the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.1. Employee acknowledges and agrees
further that such restrictions are reasonable as to time, geographic area and scope of
activity and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and
other business interests of Employer, and Employee agrees that Employer is justified in
believing the foregoing.

     (d) If any provision of this Section 2.1 should be found by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being too broad as to the period
of time, territory, and/or scope, then, and in that event, such provision shall nevertheless
remain valid and fully effective, but shall be considered to be amended so that the period
of time, territory, and/or scope set forth shall be changed to be the maximum period of
time, the largest territory, and/or the broadest scope, as the case may be, which would be
found enforceable by such court

     (e) Employee acknowledges that Employee’s violation or attempted violation of this
Section 2.1 will cause irreparable damage to Employer or its affiliates, and
Employee therefore agrees that Employer shall be entitled as a matter of right to an
injunction, out of any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further
violation of such agreements by Employee or others acting on her behalf. Employer’s right
to injunctive relief will be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided by
law or equity.

     (f) Employee shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 2 if Employer fails
to pay any uncontested amounts due to Employee under Section 4 and such failure is not cured
within thirty (30) days after written notice to Employer.

Section 3. Confidentiality; Nondisparagement; Conflict of Interest.

     3.1 Confidentiality.

     (a) In the course of her employment with Employer, Employer shall provide Employee with
access to commercially valuable, confidential or proprietary information of the
Employer(“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information means all information,
whether oral or written, previously or hereafter developed, acquired or used by Employer and
relating to the business of Employer that is not generally known to the public or others in
Employer’s area of business, including without limitation (i) any trade secrets, work
product, processes, analyses or know-how of Employer; (ii) Employer’s advertising, product
development, strategic and business plans and information, including customer and prospect

services; and (iv) Employer’s internal

financial information.

Information for her own benefit or disclose any Confidential Information to any third party
(except in the course of performing her authorized duties for Employer under this
Agreement), either during or subsequent to her employment with Employer.

     (c) Specifically, Employee agrees that, except as expressly authorized in writing by
Employer, or as may be required by law or court order, Employee shall (i) not disclose
Confidential Information to any third party, (ii) not copy Confidential Information for any
reason, and (iii) not remove Confidential Information from Employer’s premises. Upon
termination of her employment with Employer, Employee shall promptly deliver to the Employer
all Confidential Information, including documents, computer disks and other computer storage
devices and other papers and materials (including all copies thereof in whatever form)
containing or incorporating any Confidential Information or otherwise relating in any way to
the Employer’s business that are in her possession or under her control.

     (d) Employee acknowledges that Employee’s violation or attempted violation of this
Section 3.1 will cause irreparable damage to Employer or its affiliates, and
Employee therefore agrees that Employer shall be entitled as a matter of right to an
injunction, out of any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further
violation of such agreements by Employee or others acting on her behalf. Employer’s right
to injunctive relief will be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided by
law or equity.

     3.2. Covenant of Nondisparagement. In consideration of this Agreement, Employee
agrees and promises that, during the Term and at all times after the termination of this Agreement

concerning Employer or any of its affiliates, their officers, employees or representatives. Such
prohibited statements include any statement that is injurious to the business or business
reputation of any of Employer, its affiliates or their employees or representatives, but does not
include reasonable statements of disagreement that Employee makes for the purpose of protecting or
enforcing any of her rights or interests hereunder or defending against any claim or claims of
Employer, so long as such statements are not slanderous or libelous and are delivered in terms as
would ordinarily be considered customary and appropriate.

     3.3. Conflict of Interest. Employee agrees that during the Term, without the prior
approval of the Board, Employee shall not engage, either directly or indirectly, in any activity
which may involve a conflict of interest with Employer or its affiliates (a “Conflict of
Interest”), including ownership in any supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer or other
entity with which Employer does business (other than as a shareholder of less than one

 

 

percent of a publicly traded class of securities) or accept any material payment, service,
loan, gift, trip, entertainment or other favor from a supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer
or other entity with which Employer does business and that Employee shall promptly inform the Board
as to each offer received by Employee to engage in any such activity. Employee further agrees to
disclose to Employer any other facts of which Employee becomes aware which might involve or give
rise to a Conflict of Interest or potential Conflict of Interest.

Section 4. Termination.

     4.1 Termination by Employer.

     (b) Employer may discharge Employee for Cause at any time without prior notice. In the
event of any such termination for Cause, Employer’s obligations to pay any base salary,

resignation to Employer, unless such prior notice is otherwise waived by Employer in its absolute
and sole discretion. The effective date of Employee’s resignation shall be as stated in Employee’s
notice of resignation or at the sole option of Employer, such earlier date as determined by

affect any rights and benefits which Employee may have pursuant to any other agreement,
policy, plan, program or arrangement with the Employer prior to the Termination Date,
which rights shall be governed by the terms thereof, except that payments hereunder
after termination under this Section 5 shall reduce by an equal amount any sums payable

or modified.

deemed to be a termination or removal of Employee after a Change in Control for
purposes of this Agreement and shall entitle Employee to all benefits under this
Agreement.

Employee hereunder is terminated, Employee shall not be obligated to mitigate her damages nor the

event as of the date of termination of employment, Employee is a “specified employee” as such term
is defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”)(or any regulations
or proposed regulations promulgated thereunder) each payment that would have been due to be made to
employee during the first six (6) months after such termination shall be delayed to the extent

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party receiving notice may waive any provisions of this
Section 6.2 in its or her sole and absolute discretion.

     6.3 Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns.
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be assigned by Employee without the

corporation or other person which is in control of such successor, to all or substantially all of
the business and/or assets of Employer (by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), by
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Employee, to expressly assume and agree
to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Employer would be required
to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of Employer to obtain such agreement
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement by
Employer. As used in this Agreement, “Employer” shall mean Employer as herein before defined and
any successor to its business and/or all or part of its assets as aforesaid which executes and
delivers the assumption agreement provided for in this Section 6.3 or which otherwise
becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

     6.4 Headings. The section headings used herein are for reference and convenience only
and shall not enter into the interpretation hereof.

     6.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts for the
convenience of the parties hereto, all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

     6.6 Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived
only by written agreement of Employer and Employee, and no course of conduct, failure or delay in
enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall effect the validity, binding effect or
enforceability of this Agreement.

     6.7 Severability. Any provision or portion of a provision of this Agreement that is
held to be invalid or unenforceable will be severable, and this Agreement will be construed and
enforced as if such provision, or portion thereof, did not comprise a part hereof, and the
remaining provisions or portions of provisions will remain in full force and effect. In lieu of
each invalid or unenforceable provision there will be added automatically as part of this Agreement
a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible
and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

 

 

     6.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any conflicts of law rule or
principle that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

     6.9 Indemnification. Employee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefit of,
the indemnification provisions contained in the Employer’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as
amended, to the same extent and degree as other similarly situated officers and/or directors of
Employer.

     6.10 Disputes. The parties to this Agreement agree that in the event there is a
dispute or controversy between them that cannot be settled through direct discussions, it is in the
best interests of all for such dispute or controversy to be resolved in the shortest time and with
the lowest cost of resolution as practicable. Consequently, any such dispute, controversy or claim
between the parties to this Agreement will not be litigated, but instead will be resolved by
arbitration in accordance with Title 9 of the U.S. Code (United States Arbitration Act) and the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”), and judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitration will be before one neutral arbitrator and will proceed under the Expedited
Procedures of said Rules. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas, or such other place as
may be selected by mutual agreement. The arbitrator will have the discretion to order a prehearing
exchange of information by the parties, and to set limits for both the scope and time period of
such exchange. All issues regarding exchange requests will be decided by the arbitrator. Neither
party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration
hereunder, unless required to do so by court or regulatory order, without the prior written consent
of both parties. Administrative fees and expenses of the arbitration itself will be borne by the
parties equally unless otherwise required by law, a court of competent jurisdiction or the Rules;
provided, that, in no event will Employee be required to pay in excess of $1,000 of such fees and
expenses. The arbitrator will also be authorized to award to the prevailing party all or that
fraction of its reasonable costs and fees as is deemed equitable. Costs of a party’s
representation by counsel or preparation costs for hearing are not considered administrative fees
and expenses for purposes hereof. This provision will not apply to any claim for injunctive relief

2. Purchase and Sale of the Common Stock and Warrants. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Investor shall purchase, and the Company shall sell and issue to the
Investor, the Units. If there is more than one Investor, such Investors will participate as
described on Schedule A and, in such case, each reference to “Investor” should be interpreted to
mean the Investors listed on Schedule A.

Each 100 Units will be 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. The Series A Warrants shall
be exercisable after six months and will have a five year term. The Series A Warrants will also
have a cashless feature.

     (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. The Series B
Warrants shall be exercisable after six months and will have a three year term.

     (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, to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Series C Warrant shall be exercisable
after six months and will have an exercise price of $1.94 and a five year term.

Each warrant will have a prohibition on exercise in the event that the holder of such warrant would
beneficially own over 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock. Additionally, each
warrant will contain a provision that prohibits exercise in the event that exercise will permit a
“change of control” as that term is interpreted by the applicable rules and interpretations of any
market on which the Company’s securities trade.

3. Closing. On the date of the investment, as described in Section 2 (a “Closing”) once the
Company receives the designated payment in full in available funds and confirms that the other
conditions to closing specified herein have been satisfied or duly waived by the Investor, the
Company shall deliver to the Investor, a certificate or certificates, and such Warrants, registered
in such name or names as the Investor may designate, representing the Units. The Closing of the
purchase and sale of the Units shall take place at the Company’s headquarters, 1129 North McDowell
Blvd., Petaluma, California 94954, or at such other location and on such other date as the Company
and the Investor shall mutually agree.

warrants to the Investor the following:

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now
conducted and to own its properties. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or
its ownership or leasing of property makes such qualification or leasing necessary unless the
failure to so qualify has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

4.2 Authorization. The Company has full power and authority and has taken all requisite
action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for (i) the
authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, (ii) the authorization of the
performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, and (iii) the authorization,
issuance (or reservation for issuance) and delivery of the Securities. The Transaction Documents
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights generally.

4.3 Valid Issuance. The Common Stock has been duly and validly authorized and, when issued

imposed by applicable securities laws. The Warrants have been or will be duly and validly
authorized. Upon the due exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for
restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws. The Company has reserved a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, free
and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for restrictions on transfer imposed by
applicable securities laws.

4.4 Delivery of SEC Filings; Business. The Company has made available to the Investor true

Act since the filing of the 10-K and prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “SEC Filings”).
The SEC Filings are the only filings required of the Company pursuant to the 1934 Act for such
period. The Company is engaged in all material respects only in the business described in the SEC
Filings and the SEC Filings contain a complete and accurate description in all material respects of

are used in Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities.

4.7 Private Placement. The offer and sale of the Securities to the Investors as
contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby represents and
warrants to the Company that:

5.1 Organization and Existence. The Investor is a validly existing corporation and has all
requisite corporate power and authority to invest in the Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

5.2 Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of the
Transaction Documents to which the Investor is a party have been duly authorized and will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the
Investor in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights generally.

5.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Securities to be received by the Investor
hereunder will be acquired for the Investor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a
view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the 1933 Act, and the
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same in violation of the 1933 Act without prejudice, however, to the Investor’s
right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a
representation or warranty by the Investor to hold the Securities for any period of time. The

a business that would require it to be so registered.

complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in

5.5 Disclosure of Information. The Investor has had an opportunity to receive all
information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from
the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Securities. The Investor acknowledges that true and complete copies of the Company’s SEC Filings
have been made available to the Investor through the EDGAR system. Neither such inquiries nor any
other due diligence investigation conducted by the Investor shall modify, limit or otherwise affect
the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement.

5.6 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities are characterized
as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being
acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws
and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act
only in certain limited circumstances.

5.7 Legends. It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing the
Securities may bear the following or any similar legend:

(a) “THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT OR ANY

Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and state securities laws and that the
Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set
forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the
Investor to acquire the Securities.

5.11 Investment Decision. The Investor understands that nothing in the Agreement or any
other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the
Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor 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 Securities.

5.12 Risk of Loss. The Investor understands that its investment in the Securities involves
a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of the Investor’s investment, and the
Investor has full cognizance of

 - 4 - 

 

and understands all of the risk factors related to the Investor’s purchase of the Securities,
including, but not limited to, those set forth under or incorporated by reference under the caption
“Risk Factors” in the SEC Filings. The Investor understands that the market price of the Common
Stock can fluctuate and that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Common
Stock.

 - 5 - 

 

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.

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. Assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Purchase Agreement and of the
Investors set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the offer, issuance and sale of the Units to the
Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.

My opinion expressed above is specifically subject to the following limitations, exceptions,
qualifications and assumptions:

     A. The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
relating to or affecting the relief of debtors or the rights and remedies of creditors generally,
including without limitation the effect of statutory or other law regarding fraudulent conveyances
and preferential transfers.

     B. Limitations imposed by state law, Federal law or general equitable principles upon the
specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of any applicable
agreement and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, regardless of
whether enforcement of any such agreement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

     C. This opinion letter is governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, the Legal
Opinion Accord (the “Accord”) of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991). As a consequence, it is
subject to a number of qualifications, exceptions, definitions, limitations on coverage and other
limitations, all as more particularly described in the Accord, including the General Qualifications
and the Equitable Principles Limitation, and this opinion letter should be read in conjunction
therewith.

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 RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL THAT THIS WARRANT OR

OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES, INC.

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.

     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

 - 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. Any notices shall be
deemed given upon the earlier of the date when received at, the day when delivered via facsimile or

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

declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,

each other after the date hereof such additional agreements or instruments as any of them may
reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out this Warrant and the agreements and transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby.

     17. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that irreparable harm, for which there may be no
adequate remedy at law and for which the ascertainment of damages would be difficult, would occur
in the event any of the provisions of this Warrant were not performed in accordance with its
specific terms or were otherwise breached. 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.

share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. This Warrant is initially exercisable at a price of
$1.13 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.”

 - 25 - 

 

          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) 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) 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.

     (c) 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.

     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

 - 26 - 

 

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

 - 27 - 

 

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

 - 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

shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties shall use their best efforts

each other after the date hereof such additional agreements or instruments as any of them may
reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out this Warrant and the agreements and transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby.

     17. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that irreparable harm, for which there may be no
adequate remedy at law and for which the ascertainment of damages would be difficult, would occur
in the event any of the provisions of this Warrant were not performed in accordance with its
specific terms or were otherwise breached. 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.

AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION

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

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.
