Issuance: ("
Issuance Date ")
XOMA Ltd., a Bermuda corporation, (the "
Company "), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, , the
registered holder hereof, or its permitted assigns (the "
Holder "), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as
defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to
Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common
Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "
Warrant "), at any time or times on or after the date
hereof, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration
Date (as defined below), __________ fully paid nonassessable
shares of Common Stock (as defined below), as adjusted pursuant to
the terms hereof (the " Warrant Shares
"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section
16. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase
Common Stock (the " SPA Warrants ") issued pursuant to
Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as
of (the "
Subscription Date "), by and among the Company and the
investors (individually, a " Buyer " and collectively, the "
Buyers ") referred to therein (the " Securities Purchase
Agreement ").
(a) Mechanics of
Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in
Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any
day on or after the date hereof in whole or in part, by
(i) delivery
of a written
notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "
Exercise Notice "), of the Holder's election to exercise
this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount
equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "
Aggregate Exercise Price ") in cash or by wire transfer of
immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that
this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as
defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be
required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an
exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the
Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares
shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant
and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the
first (1st) Business Day following the date on which the Company
has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise
Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the " Exercise
Delivery Documents "), the Company shall transmit by facsimile
an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise
Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent
(the " Transfer Agent "). On or before the third
(3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has
received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the " Share
Delivery Date "), the Company shall (X) provided that the
Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("
DTC ") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the
request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC
through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if
the Transfer Agent or the Company is not participating in the DTC
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by
overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise
Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register
in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery
Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to
have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect
to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date
such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account or the
date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant
Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted
in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and
the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted
for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being
acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as
practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days
after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in
accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase
the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such
exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No
fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which
may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant
Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Exercise
Price . For purposes of this Warrant, " Exercise
Price " means $____, subject to adjustment as provided
herein.
(c) Company's
Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . In addition
to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails
to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit
to the Holder a
certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery
Date, and if after such date the Holder purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage
firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to
the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount
obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the
Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with
the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order
giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at
the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the
Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such
exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be
deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written
notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of
the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount
of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a
Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d) Cashless
Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion,
exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making
the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company
upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price,
elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of
shares of Common Stock determined according to the following
formula (a " Cashless Exercise "):
|
Net Number =
|
(A x B) - (A x C)
B
|
For purposes of the foregoing
formula:
A = the total number of shares with respect to
which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B = the Weighted Average Price of the shares of
Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) for the five (5)
consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding
the date of the Exercise Notice.
C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the
applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
(e) Disputes
. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of
the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant
Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number
of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in
accordance with Section 12.
(f) Limitations on
Exercises; Beneficial Ownership . The Company shall
not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not
have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after
giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such
Person's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.80% (the
" Maximum Percentage ") of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect
to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but
shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (B)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of
any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any
convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " Exchange
Act "). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may
rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as
reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q,
Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more
recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice
by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at
any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the
Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in
writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to
the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including
the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder
may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage
to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such
notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective
until the sixty-first (61 st )
day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any
such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to
any other holder of SPA Warrants. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) 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.
(g) Insufficient
Authorized Shares . If at any time while any of the
Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient
number of authorized and
unreserved
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for
issuance upon exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to 100% (the " Required Reserve Amount
") of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to
time be necessary to effect the exercise of all Warrants then
outstanding (an " Authorized Share Failure "), then the
Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the
Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient
to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all
Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after
the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in
no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such
Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its
shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with
such meeting, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a
proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its
shareholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of
Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to
the shareholders that they approve such proposal.
2. ADJUSTMENT OF
EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted
from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment upon
Issuance of shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or
after the Subscription Date the Company issues or sells, or in
accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold,
any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of
shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded
Securities) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance
Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable
Price”) equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the
foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately
after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. Upon
each such adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of
Warrant Shares shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common
Stock determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant
Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment. For purposes of determining
the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(a), the following
shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of
Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the
lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to
have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For
purposes of this Section 2(a)(i), the “lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of
such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such
Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if
any) received
or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of
Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No
further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant
Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of
Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of
such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or
sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding
and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per
share. For the purposes of this Section 2(a)(ii), the “lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable
upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be
equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any)
received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of
Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security
and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Security. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of
Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant
to other provisions of this Section 2(a), no further adjustment of
the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by
reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in
Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided
for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable
upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price
and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such
increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and
the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at
such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for
such increased or decreased purchase price, additional
consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the
case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For
purposes of this Section 2(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or
Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of
issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner
described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option
or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or
decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made
if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise
Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant
Shares.
(iv)
Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued
in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the
Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no
specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties
thereto, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a
value determined by use of the Black Scholes
Option Pricing
Model (the “Option Value”) and (y) the other securities
issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to
have been issued for the difference of (I) the aggregate
consideration received by the Company, less (II) the Option Value.
If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net
amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration
received by the Company will be the fair value of such
consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by
the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such security on the
date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the
non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration
therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the
net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration
other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the
Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to
reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an
event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the
fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5)
Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation
Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by
the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such
appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent
manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be
borne by the Company.
(v) Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock,
Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities,
then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or
sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such
other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(b) Adjustment upon
Subdivision or Combination of shares of Common Stock
. If the Company at any time on or after the
Subscription Date subdivides (by any share split, dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares
