- 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 Investors
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 Investors 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys
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.

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 Holders option, (A) a certified or bank cashiers 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 securitys 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 Companys obligations under any applicable rules or regulations of any market on which the
Companys 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 Holders affiliates, and any other person
or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holders 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
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

addresses as shall be furnished in writing by such party.
9. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or changed except by an
instrument in writing signed by each of the Company and the Holder.
- 20 -
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. 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.
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,

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
Holders option, (A) a certified or bank cashiers 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

(c) If this Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares evidenced

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

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.

this Warrant if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would cause a breach or violation of
the Companys obligations under any applicable rules or regulations of any market on which the
Companys 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 Holders affiliates, and any other person
or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holders 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

when sent by Federal Express to, the address set forth below, unless such address is changed by

9. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or changed except by an
instrument in writing signed by each of the Company and the Holder.

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. 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.
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.
16. The Company agrees to take such further action and to deliver or cause to be delivered to
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.

EXHIBIT C TO THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE 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 RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL THAT THIS WARRANT OR
SUCH SECURITIES, AS APPLICABLE, 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.
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 Holders option, (A) a certified or bank cashiers 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 securitys 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 Companys obligations under any applicable rules or regulations of any market on which the
Companys 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 Holders affiliates, and any other person
or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holders 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

instrument in writing signed by each of the Company and the Holder.
