Recitals
Whereas, XOMA Ireland Limited (“XOMA Ireland”) and Secured Party are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Collaboration and License Agreement, dated February 14, 2012 (the “Collaboration and License Agreement”), a Loan Agreement, dated December 30, 2010 (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), a Promissory Note, dated January 13, 2011, issued by XOMA Ireland to Secured Party (the “Original Note”), and a Fixed Charge, dated January 13, 2011, granted by XOMA Ireland in favor of Secured Party (the “Ireland Fixed Charge”).
Whereas, pursuant to that certain Asset Transfer Agreement, dated of even date herewith, by and between XOMA Ireland and Debtor and that certain Consent, Transfer, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, dated of even date herewith, by and among XOMA Ireland, the Secured Party and Debtor (the “Assumption Agreement”) (collectively, the “Asset Transfer Documents”), XOMA Ireland intends to transfer certain assets, including, without limitation, certain assets relating to the Collaboration and License Agreement, and certain rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement to Debtor, as further set forth in the Asset Transfer Documents.
Whereas, pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, Debtor will assume all of the obligations and rights of XOMA Ireland under the Loan Agreement, which the Secured Party has consented to, and the Original Note and Ireland Fixed Charge will be cancelled and released by the Secured Party upon the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the Assumption Agreement.
Whereas, the parties intend that a new Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith, will be issued by Debtor to Secured Party (as amended from time to time, the “XOMA US Promissory Note” and, collectively with the Loan Agreement, following the execution of the Assumption Agreement, the “Secured Agreements”), and Debtor and Secured Party wish to secure performance and payment of all obligations of Debtor to Secured Party under the Loan Agreement and the XOMA US Promissory Note (the “Obligations”) with liens on certain assets as described herein, in favor of Secured Party. All terms used without definition in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Asset Transfer Documents and the Secured Agreements. All terms used without definition in this Agreement, the Asset Transfer Documents, or the Secured Agreements shall have the meaning assigned to them in the UCC.
Now, Therefore, Debtor and the Secured Party agree as follows:
1. Grant of Security Interest. To secure all of the Obligations and the performance by Debtor of its obligations under the Secured Agreements, Debtor grants to the Secured Party a security interest in the property described in Exhibit A (the “Collateral”).
2. Debtor’s Representations and Warranties. Debtor represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Authorization. Debtor has authority and has obtained all approvals and consents necessary to enter into this Agreement, and Debtor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate or conflict with the terms of Debtor’s Limited Liability Company Agreement or other charter document, or any law, agreement, or other instrument or writing to which Debtor is party or by which is it bound.
(b) Title. The Collateral is owned by Debtor and is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other security interests.

In computing the amount of contingent liabilities at any time, it is intended that such liabilities will be computed at the amount which, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

Debtor further represents, warrants, and covenants that (i) Debtor is not in default under any agreement under which Debtor owes any money, or any agreement, the violation or termination of which could have a material adverse effect on Debtor; (ii) the information provided to Secured Party on or prior to the date of this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects; (iii) Debtor is in compliance with all laws and orders applicable to it; (iv) Debtor is not a party to any litigation or is the subject of any government investigation, and Debtor has no knowledge of any pending litigation or investigation or the existence of circumstances that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such litigation or investigation; (v) Debtor’s principal place of business is located at the address specified in this Agreement; (vi) Debtor is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware; (vii) Debtor has not granted any security interest in the Collateral; (vii) each of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct as of the date hereof, provided that each reference in such provisions to XOMA Ireland shall be deemed to refer to the Debtor, and as otherwise modified in the Assumption Agreement; and (ix) no representation or other statement made by Debtor to Secured Party contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make any statements made to Secured Party not misleading.
3. Covenants.

(i) The security constituted by this Agreement will be in addition to and will not operate so as in any way to prejudice or affect any other security which the Secured Party may now or at any time in the future hold for or in respect of all or any part of the monies and liabilities secured by this Agreement, if any, nor will any such other security or any lien to which the Secured Party may be otherwise entitled or the liability of any person not party to this Agreement for all or any part of the monies and liabilities secured by this Agreement be in any way prejudiced or affected by this security. The Secured Party will have full power at its discretion to give time for payment to or make any other arrangement with any such other person without prejudice to the liability of the Borrower under this Agreement.
(j) If the Obligations covenanted to be paid and discharged in this Agreement have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full the Secured Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after such payment and discharge and at the request and cost of the Borrower, execute such documents as may be necessary to release the security created by this Agreement.
4. Events of Default.

(ii) second, to the payment to Secured Party of the amount then owing under the Secured Agreements.
6. Power of Attorney.
