 Exhibit 10.1 

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT 

This INVESTMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 6, 2018, is made by and between XOMA Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each purchaser identified on the signature pages hereto (each, including its permitted successors and assigns, an “Investor” and collectively, the
“Investors”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company proposes to conduct a rights offering by distributing, at no charge, non-transferable rights (the “Rights”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0075 per share (the “Common Stock”) and shares of the Company’s
Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.05 per share, having the rights, preferences and privileges as set forth in the Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Preferred Stock”), to each
holder of record of shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Series X Convertible Preferred Stock as of the close of business on November 16, 2018 (the “Record Date”); 

WHEREAS, the Rights will be exercisable for a number of shares (the “Offered Shares”) resulting in gross proceeds to the
Company of approximately twenty million ($20,000,000); 
 WHEREAS, following the distribution of the Rights, the Company will commence an
offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to which each holder of a Right will be entitled to subscribe for the following (the “Rights Offering”): (a) for each share of Common Stock held on the Record Date, the
right to purchase a fraction of a share of Common Stock at a subscription price of $13.00 per whole share of Common Stock or, if, as a result of such purchase, the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the
total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issued and outstanding immediately after the issuance of such shares, a number of shares of Preferred Stock (at a subscription price of $13,000 per whole share of Preferred Stock (the
“Preferred Exercise Price”)) equal, on an as-converted basis, to the excess portion of the Common Stock that cannot be purchased due to the foregoing beneficial ownership limitation; and
(b) for each share of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock held on the Record Date, the right to purchase a fraction of a share of Preferred Stock at a subscription price equal to the Preferred Exercise Price;  

WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the Rights Offering, the Investors have agreed to purchase, at the Preferred Exercise Price, upon expiration
of the Rights Offering, shares of Preferred Stock having an aggregate value equal to the value of all of the Offered Shares that are not purchased pursuant to the exercise of Rights (including any exercise of Rights by the Investor) in the Rights
Offering (the “Backstop Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Backstop Commitment”); and 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the Rights Offering, the terms of the Preferred Stock, this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, agreements, representations, warranties and
covenants contained herein, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees as follows: 













	1.	 Conduct of Rights Offering 



(a)    As soon as practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall publicly announce its plans to conduct the Rights
Offering, including disclosing the Record Date, the material terms of the Rights Offering, the anticipated closing date and the Investor’s purchase commitment hereunder. 

(b)    The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) initiate the Rights Offering, on the terms set
forth above, within five business days after the Record Date, and (ii) close the Rights Offering by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 31, 2018. 
  

	2.	 Purchase and Sale of Securities.

the Rights Offering (“Expiration Time”), the Company will give the Investors notice of: (i) the number of Offered Shares purchased by holders of Rights pursuant to validly exercised Rights in the Rights Offering, and
(ii) the number of Backstop Shares (if any) to be purchased hereunder and the aggregate Preferred Exercise Price therefor (a “Purchase Notice”). If there are no Backstop Shares to be purchased hereunder, the Company shall
provide the Investor with notice of this fact (a “Satisfaction Notice”). The date of transmission of a Purchase Notice or a Satisfaction Notice is referred to herein as the “Determination Date.” 

(b)    On the Closing Date (as defined below), and on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, the
Investors agree to purchase, and the Company will sell to the Investor, at the Preferred Exercise Price, all of the Backstop Shares (if any), calculated in accordance with Section 2(a). 

(c)    The closing of the Rights Offering and the purchase of Backstop Shares by the Investor hereunder (the
“Closing”) will occur as soon as practicable following the Expiration Time and after giving effect to the determinations contemplated by Section 2(a) above (the “Closing Date”). The Company and, to the extent
applicable, the Investor, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing Date to occur within five business days following the Expiration Time. 

3.    Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Investors, as set
forth below. Except for representations, warranties and agreements that are expressly limited as to their date, each representation, warranty and agreement is made as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby:

Subsidiaries has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation or organization for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or
leases properties or conducts any business so as to require such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the

enforceability of this Agreement, (b) the results of operations, business, properties, or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (c) the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a
timely basis its obligations under this Agreement to be performed as of the date of determination, other than any such change, effect, event or circumstance, including, without limitation, any change in the stock price or trading volume of the
Common Stock, that resulted directly or indirectly from (i) any change in the United States or foreign economies or securities or financial markets in general that does not have a disproportionate effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries,
(ii) any change that generally affects the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate that does not have a disproportionate effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iii) any change arising in

applicable laws or accounting rules that does not have a disproportionate effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (vi) any change resulting from compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Subsidiary” of any person means, with respect to such person, any corporation, partnership or other legal entity of which such person (either alone
or through or together with any other subsidiary), owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the stock or other equity interests, has the power to elect a majority of the board of directors or similar governing body, or has the power to direct

 (b)    Corporate Power and Authority. The Company has the requisite corporate power

Offering, including the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares. 
 (c)    Execution and Delivery;
Enforceability. This Agreement has been, or prior to its execution and delivery at the Closing, will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company, and each such document constitutes, or will constitute, the valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms subject to: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
generally, and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(f)    No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and compliance by the Company with
all of the provisions hereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (including issuance and sale of Preferred Shares and the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares): (i) will not, in any
material respect, conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or result in the acceleration of, any material agreement or
instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, (ii) will not
result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or comparable organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) will not result in any
violation of, or any termination or impairment of any rights under, any law, rule or regulation, any license, authorization, injunction, judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties, in each case, that is material to the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. To the actual knowledge of the Company, the Company further represents and warrants that the
Investors will not, by virtue of acquiring the Rights, the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares pursuant to this Agreement or through the Rights Offering, trigger any anti-takeover rights or protective provisions, applicable to the Company,
including under applicable law or under any stockholder rights agreement (“poison pill”) or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Company is a party. 

  
 4 













 (g)    Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval,
authorization, order, registration, notice, filing, recording or qualification of or with any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties is required for the
execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the sale, issuance and delivery of the Preferred Shares to
the Investor hereunder and the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares, except: (i) the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the issuance of
the Rights and the Offered Shares pursuant to the exercise of Rights, (ii) the filing of a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which will be filed prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under
state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase of the Preferred Shares by the Investor, including Form D notice with the SEC, if required. 

(h)    SEC Filings. Since January 1, 2018, the Company has timely filed all current and periodic reports
required to be filed with the SEC (the “SEC Reports”) pursuant the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The SEC Reports, as of the time when they were filed, conformed in all material respects to
the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of the SEC Reports contained any untrue statement of a material fact, or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. 
 (i)    Absence of Changes. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or as otherwise
contemplated by this Agreement, since June 30, 2018: (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could be reasonably expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) the Company has not entered into

enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the subscription for the Preferred Shares. The Investor has taken all necessary action required

 5 













 (b)    Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. This Agreement has
been, or prior to its execution and delivery at the Closing will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by the Investor, and each such document constitutes, or will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable
against the Investor in accordance with its terms subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general principles of
equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 (c)    No Registration. The
Investor understands that the Preferred Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things,
the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto. 

(d)    Investment Intent. The Investor is acquiring the Preferred Shares for investment for its own account, not as
a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof not in compliance with applicable securities laws, and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same, except in compliance with applicable securities laws. 
 (e)    Securities Laws
Compliance. The Preferred Shares will not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred by the Investor except pursuant to a registration statement or in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws. 
 (f)    Sophistication. The Investor has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Preferred Shares being acquired hereunder. The Investor is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of
Rule 144A under the Securities Act or an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Investor understands and is able to bear any economic risks associated with such investment
(including, without limitation, the necessity of holding the Preferred Shares for an indefinite period of time). Without derogating from or limiting the representations and warranties of the Company, the Investor acknowledges that it has been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Company and to obtain additional information that it has requested to verify the information contained herein. 

(g)    Legended Securities. The Investor understands and acknowledges that upon the original issuance thereof, and
until such time as the same is no longer required under any applicable requirements of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the Preferred Shares shall be represented by a certificate bearing the following legend (the
“Securities Act Legend”): 

  
 6 













 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION, OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD (I) EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT, (II) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION
OF COUNSEL SELECTED BY THE HOLDER TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY OR (III) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 

The foregoing Securities Act Legend shall be promptly removed from Preferred Shares and the Company shall issue, or cause to be issued, to the Investor a
certificate for such Preferred Shares without such legend or any other legend, or, if so requested by the Investor, by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if one of the
following conditions is met: (a) such Preferred Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without regard to any volume limitations; (b) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer of such
Preferred Shares, the Investor provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form to the Company and its transfer agent, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of such Preferred Shares may be made without
registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and that the legend can be removed from the Preferred Shares; or (c) the Preferred Shares are registered and sold pursuant to an effective registration statement for resale
under the Securities Act.

Section 2. Designation, Amount and Par Value; Assignment. 

(a) The series of preferred stock designated by this Certificate of Designation shall be designated as the Corporation’s Series Y
Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series Y Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares so designated shall be 1, 539. Each share of Series Y Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.05 per share. The Series Y Preferred
Stock may be issued in certificated form or in book-entry form, as requested by a Holder. To the extent that any shares of Series Y Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form, references herein to “certificates” shall instead refer to
the book-entry notation relating to such shares. 
 (b) The Corporation shall register shares of the Series Y Preferred Stock, upon records
to be maintained by the Corporation for that purpose (the “Series Y Preferred Stock Register”), in the name of the Holders thereof from time to time. The Corporation may deem and treat the registered Holder of shares of
Series Y Preferred Stock as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any conversion thereof and for all other purposes. The Corporation shall register the transfer of any shares of Series Y Preferred Stock in the Series Y Preferred Stock
Register, upon surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares to be transferred, duly endorsed by the Holder thereof, to the Corporation at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the
shares of Series Y Preferred Stock so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder, in each case, within
three Business Days. The provisions of this Certificate of Designation are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. 

Section 3. Dividends. Holders shall not be entitled to receive any dividends in respect of the
Series Y Preferred Stock, except to the extent that dividends are paid on the Corporation’s Common Stock, in which case the Holders of the Series Y Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in such dividends, on an as-converted basis (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). 

Section 4. Voting Rights Amendments. 












 (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by the DGCL, the Series Y
Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 4(a), so long as at least 50% of the authorized shares of
Series Y Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series Y Preferred Stock: (a) alter or amend this Certificate of Designation,
amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of
preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series Y Preferred Stock, regardless of whether any of the foregoing actions shall be
by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise, (b) issue further shares of Series Y Preferred Stock or increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of
Series Y Preferred Stock, or (c) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. 
 (c) Any vote required or permitted
under Section 4(b) may be taken at a meeting of the Holders of the Series Y Preferred Stock or through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of such meeting, provided that the consent is executed by Holders representing a
majority of the outstanding shares of Series Y Preferred Stock. 
 Section 5. Rank; Liquidation. 

(a) The Series Y Preferred Stock shall rank: (i) senior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created
specifically ranking by its terms junior to any Series Y Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); (ii) on parity with the Common Stock, Series X Preferred Stock, and any other class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series Y Preferred Stock (the “Parity Securities”); and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter
created specifically ranking by its terms senior to any Series Y Preferred Stock (“Senior Securities”), in each case, as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily (all such distributions being referred to collectively as “Distributions”). 
 (b)
Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any Senior Securities of the Corporation, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive, in preference to any Distributions of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Junior Securities, and pari passu with any Distribution to the holders of the Parity Securities, an
equivalent amount of Distributions as would be paid on the Common Stock underlying the Series Y Preferred Stock, determined on an as-converted basis (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation),
plus an additional amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, before any payments shall be made or any assets distributed to holders of any class of Junior Securities. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the Holders of shares of the Series Y Preferred Stock the amount required under the preceding sentence, then all remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed
ratably to Holders of the shares of the Series Y Preferred Stock and holders of Parity Securities. 
 Section 6.
Conversion. 
 (a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series Y Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time
and from time to time from and after the date of issuance, at the option of the Holder thereof, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of
conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), duly completed and executed. Other than a conversion following a Fundamental Transaction or following a notice provided for under
Section 7(d)(ii) hereof, the Notice of Conversion must specify at least a number of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock to be converted equal to the lesser of (x) 100 shares (such number subject to appropriate adjustment following the
occurrence of an event specified in Section 7(a) hereof) and (y) the number of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock then held by the Holder. Provided the Corporation’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Notice of Conversion may specify, at the Holder’s election, whether the applicable Conversion Shares shall be credited to the account of the


  
 18 













 
Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (a “ DWAC Delivery ”). The “ Conversion Date ”, or the
date on which a conversion shall be deemed effective, shall be defined as the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent by facsimile to, and received during regular business hours by, the Corporation; provided that
the original certificate(s) (if applicable) representing such shares of Series Y Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation within two (2) Trading Days thereafter.
In all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be defined as the Trading Day on which the original share certificate(s) (if applicable) of Series Y Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are
received by the Corporation. The calculations set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. 

(b) Conversion Ratio. The “Conversion Ratio” for each share of Series Y Preferred Stock shall be equal to the
Stated Value divided by the Conversion Price. 
 (c) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series Y Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series Y Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted
conversion set forth on an applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of
Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution Parties”)) would
beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock 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
Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series Y Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number
of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series Y Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised
or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation
contained herein. For purposes of this Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. In addition, for purposes hereof,
“group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder
may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Corporation that is filed with the Commission, or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon
the written request of a Holder (which may be by email with confirmation), the Corporation shall, within three (3) Trading Days thereof, confirm in writing to such Holder (which may be via email) 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 any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series Y Preferred Stock, by such Holder or
its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Holder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number
of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Notice of Conversion (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section 6(c)), provided that a Holder may, upon
providing written notice to the Corporation, elect to increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (not to exceed the limits under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b), to the extent then applicable), with any increase to be effective only
after 61 days from delivery of such notice to the Corporation. The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by the Holder in any Notice of Conversion regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation. 

  
 19 













 (d) Mechanics of Conversion 

i. Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Not later than three Trading Days after the applicable Conversion
Date, or if the Holder requests the issuance of physical certificate(s), two Trading Days after receipt by the Corporation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series Y Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the
accompanying Notice of Conversion (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall either: (a) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a physical certificate or certificates representing the number
of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock; or (b) in the case of a DWAC Delivery, electronically transfer such Conversion Shares by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with
DTC through its DWAC system. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by,
the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Notice of Conversion by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates for
Conversion Shares or electronic receipt of such shares, as applicable, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any original Series Y Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly
return to the Corporation any Common Stock certificates or otherwise direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for
conversion to the Corporation. 
 ii. Obligation Absolute. Subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to
rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series Y Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to
rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, in the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series Y Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone
associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series Y
Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained by the Corporation, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the value of the Conversion Shares into which would be converted
the Series Y Preferred Stock which is subject to such injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it
obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall, subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, issue Conversion Shares upon
a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such certificate or certificates, or electronically deliver (or cause its transfer agent to electronically deliver) such shares in the case of a DWAC Delivery, pursuant
to Section 6(d)(i) on or prior to the fifth Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Corporation), then, unless the
Holder has rescinded the applicable Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, the Corporation shall pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to such Holder an amount payable, at the Corporation’s option, either
(a) in cash or (b) to the extent that it would not cause the Holder or its Attribution Parties to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, in shares of Common Stock that are valued for these purposes at the Closing Sale Price on the
date of such calculation, in each case equal to the product of (x) the number of Conversion Shares required to have been issued by the Corporation on such Share Delivery Date, (y) an amount equal to the Daily Failure Amount and
(z) the number of Trading Days actually lapsed after such fifth Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date during which such certificates have not been delivered, or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares have not been electronically
delivered; provided, however, the Holder shall only receive up to such amount of shares of Common Stock such that Holder and its Attribution Parties and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be
aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of
securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period 

  
 20 













 
specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief; provided that Holder shall not receive duplicate damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking
to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. 
 iii. Compensation for
Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates or to effect a DWAC Delivery, as applicable, by
the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Corporation), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm
to purchase (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 such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to
receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies
available to or elected by such Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage
commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock submitted for conversion or deliver to such Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(d)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000
to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase
obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice, within three (3) Trading Days
after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts 
 payable to such Holder in respect of such Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation. 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 Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares
of Series Y Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require the reissuance of the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock submitted for conversion for which such
conversion was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(d)(i). 

iv. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series Y Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of
the Series Y Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series Y Preferred Stock.
The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 

v. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion
of the Series Y Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such
fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price. 
 vi. Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon
conversion of the Series Y Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be
required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such 












 
certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series Y Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. 

(e) Status as Stockholder. Upon each Conversion Date, (i) the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed
converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series Y Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock
and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its
rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series Y Preferred Stock. 
 Section 7.
Certain Adjustments. 
 (a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series Y Preferred
Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon
conversion of this Series Y Preferred Stock) with respect to the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (C) combines (including by way of a reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the
Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the 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 or combination. 
 (b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series Y Preferred Stock is
outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person or any stock sale to, or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, share exchange or scheme of arrangement) with or into another Person (other than such a transaction in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its Common Stock is not exchanged for
or converted into other securities, cash or property), (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether
by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which more than 50% of the Common Stock not held by the Corporation or such Person is exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation
effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered by Section 7(a) above) to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series Y Preferred Stock the Holders shall have the right to receive, in lieu
of the right to receive Conversion Shares, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as
it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate
Consideration”). For purposes of any such subsequent conversion, the determination of the Conversion Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable
in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall adjust the Conversion Ratio in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of
this Series Y Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate
of Designation with the 












 
same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into
Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party and pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of
this Section 7(b) and insuring that this Series Y Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall cause to be delivered
to each Holder, at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, written notice of any Fundamental Transaction at least 20 calendar days prior to the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become
effective or close. 
 (c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest
1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury
shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding. 
 (d) Notice to the Holders. 

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the
Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. 

ii. Other Notices. If: (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common
Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to
which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the
Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of this Series Y Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the
Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to
become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be
specified in such notice. 
 Section 8. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without
limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at 2200 Powell Street, Suite 310, Emeryville, CA 94608,

Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision
contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series Y Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series Y Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of
the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock then outstanding, unless a higher percentage is required by the DGCL, in which case the written consent of the Holders of not less than such higher percentage shall be required. 

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this
Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other
amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. 

(e) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (f) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. 
 (g)
Status of Converted Series Y Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series Y Preferred Stock shall be converted or reacquired by the Corporation, such shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no
longer be designated as Series Y Preferred Stock.
