WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK 

Dated: December 22, 2005 
 THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Oxford Finance Corporation, (“Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase that number of shares as set forth in paragraph 1 below of the fully
paid and non-assessable Series C Preferred Stock (the “Shares” or the “Preferred Stock”) of Ambit Biosciences Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined), subject
to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, the term “Series C Preferred Stock” shall mean the Company’s presently authorized Series C Preferred Stock, and any stock into which such
Series C Preferred Stock may hereafter be exchanged. 
 1. Warrant Price. The Warrant Price shall be Four Dollars and Thirty Cents ($4.30). The
number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be Seven Thousand, Two Hundred Seven (7,207). 
 2. Conditions to Exercise. The
purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of: 

 

	 	(a)	5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard time on the eighth annual anniversary of this Warrant Agreement; or 


 

	 	(b)	the earlier termination of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(e). 

 In the event that, although the Company shall have given notice of a transaction pursuant to subparagraph [3(e)] hereof, the transaction does not close within 90 days of the day specified by the Company,
unless otherwise elected by the Holder any exercise of the Warrant subsequent to the giving of such notice shall be rescinded and the Warrant shall again be exercisable until terminated in accordance with this Paragraph 2. 

3. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of Shares; Issuance of New Warrant. 

 

	 	(a)	Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by
the surrender of this Warrant (with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto) at the principal office of the Company (as set forth in Section 18 below) and by payment to the Company, by check, of an amount equal to the
then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of shares then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be in the name of, and
delivered to, the Holder hereof, or as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder hereof of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 10 business days after
exercise of the Warrant and at the Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Shares, if
any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within 10 business days after exercise of the Warrant. 


 

	 	(b)	 Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of
this Warrant (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised)

by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder the number of shares of the
Company’s Series C Preferred Stock computed using the following formula: 


  

							
	X	 	=	 	 Y (A-B)
	  	
		 		 	A	  	

 Where X = the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued to Holder. 

Y = the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation). 

A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (at the date of such calculation). 

B = Warrant Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). 

 

	 	(c)	Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 3, Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock shall mean:


  

	 	(i)	If the Common Stock is traded on NASDAQ or Over-The-Counter or on an exchange, the per share Fair Market Value for the Series C Preferred Stock will be the average of
the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The
Wall Street Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of determination of Fair Market Value multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock is then convertible; or


  

	 	(ii)	In the event of an exercise in connection with a merger, acquisition or other consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the per share Fair Market
Value for the Series C Preferred Stock shall be the value to be received per share of Series C Preferred Stock by all Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock in such transaction as determined by the Board of Directors; or 


 

	 	(iii)	In any other instance, the per share Fair Market Value for the Series C Preferred Stock shall be as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors
unless Holder elects to have such fair market value determined by an appraiser, which election must be made by Holder within ten (10) business days of the date the Company notifies Holder of the fair market value as determined by its Board of
Directors. In the event of such an appraisal, the cost thereof shall be borne by the Holder unless such appraisal results in a fair market value in excess of 115% of that determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in which event the
Company shall bear the cost of such appraisal. 

 In the event of 3(c)(ii) or 3(c)(iii), above, the
Company’s Board of Directors shall prepare a certificate, to be signed by an authorized Officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and method of determination of the per share Fair Market Value of the Series C
Preferred Stock. The Board will also certify to the Holder that, as of the date of the certificate, the per share Fair Market Value set forth in the certificate is applicable to all holders of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. Such
certification must be made to Holder at least ten (10) business days prior to the proposed effective date of the merger, consolidation, sale, or other triggering event as defined in 3(c)(ii) and 3(c)(iii).

	 	(d)	Automatic Exercise. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, it shall be automatically exercised in accordance with Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof
(even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration. 

  

	 	(e)	Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company. 

  

	 	(i)	Upon the written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the event of an Acquisition (as defined below) in which the sole consideration is cash, either
(a) Holder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this
Warrant will expire upon the consummation of such Acquisition. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may request in connection with
such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition. 


 

	 	(ii)	Upon written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the event of a stock for stock Acquisition of the Company by a publicly traded acquirer if, on the record
date for the Acquisition, the fair market value of the Shares (or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) is equal to or greater than three (3) times the Warrant Price, Company may require the Warrant to be deemed automatically
exercised and the Holder shall participate in the Acquisition as a holder of the Shares (or other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company.


  

	 	(iii)	Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than those particularly described in subsections (i) or (ii) above, the successor entity shall assume the
obligations of the Warrant, and the Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on
the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price and/or number of Shares shall be adjusted accordingly. 

  

	 	(iv)	For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction,
other than in connection with an initial public offering or any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes whereby the company issues (or agrees to issue) equity securities in exchange for cash or
cancellation of indebtedness. 

 4. Representations and Warranties of Holder and Restrictions on Transfer Imposed by the
Securities Act of 1933. 
  

	 	(a)	Representations and Warranties by Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company with respect to this purchase as follows: 


 

	 	(i)	The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies similar to the Company so that the Holder
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its interests. 

  

	 	(ii)	 The Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the Shares of Series C Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof 



  
 Page 3 of 9










 PREFERRED STOCK WARRANT 

 
  


	 	 
(collectively the “Securities”) for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Holder understands that the
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Holder understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if this representation was
predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities or for a period of
one year or any other fixed period in the future. 


  

	 	(iii)	The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”) which permits limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, in case the
securities have been held for more than one but less than two years, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has
purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being through a “broker’s transaction” or in a transaction directly with a “market maker” (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and the number of shares or other securities
being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. 

  

	 	(iv)	The Holder further understands that at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Securities there may be no public market upon which such a sale may be effected, and that
even if such a public market exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 unless a) a one-year
minimum holding period has been satisfied and b) the Holder was not at the time of the sale nor at any time during the three-month period prior to such sale an affiliate of the Company. 


 

	 	(v)	The Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and an opportunity to review the
Company’s facilities. The Holder understands that such discussions, as well as the written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which it believes to be material
but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. 

  

	 	(vi)	The Holder is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Act. 


 

	 	(b)	Legends. Each certificate representing the Securities shall be endorsed with the following legend: 


THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS COVERED BY AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT, A “NO ACTION” LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER, A TRANSFER MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR
(IF REASONABLY REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION. 
 The Company need not enter into its stock register a transfer of Securities unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied. The Company may also instruct its transfer agent


  
 Page 4 of 9










 PREFERRED STOCK WARRANT 

 
  

 
not to register the transfer of any of the Shares unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied. 

 

	 	(c)	Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. The legend relating to the Act endorsed on a certificate pursuant to paragraph 4(b) of this Warrant and the stop
transfer instructions with respect to the Securities represented by such certificate shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the Holder of the Securities if (i) the Securities are registered under the
Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is received by the Purchaser or (ii) the Holder provides to the Company an opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or a no-action
letter or interpretive opinion of the staff of the SEC reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that public sale, transfer or assignment of the Securities may be made without registration and without compliance with any restriction such
as Rule 144. 

 5. Condition of Transfer or Exercise of Warrant. It shall be a condition to any transfer or exercise of
this Warrant that at the time of such transfer or exercise, the Holder shall provide the Company with a representation in writing that the Holder or transferee is acquiring this Warrant and the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued upon
exercise, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any sale or distribution, or will provide the Company with a statement of pertinent facts covering any proposed distribution and a written agreement that such Holder or transferee agrees
to be bound by the provisions of this Warrant. As a further condition to any transfer of this Warrant or any or all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, other than a transfer registered under the Act, the
Company must have received a legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, reciting the pertinent circumstances surrounding the proposed transfer and stating that such transfer is exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Each certificate evidencing the shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant or upon any transfer of the shares (other than a transfer registered under the Act or any subsequent transfer of shares so
registered) shall, at the Company’s option, contain a legend in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, restricting the transfer of the shares to sales or other dispositions exempt from the requirements of the Act,

 As further condition to each transfer, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company and the transferee shall
receive and accept a Warrant, of like tenor and date, executed by the Company. 
 6. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares
which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Series C Preferred
Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. 
 7. (a) Adjustment for Certain Events. In the event of
changes in the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like,
the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Warrant Price shall be correspondingly adjusted, as appropriate, by the Board of Directors of the Company. The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of
this Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Warrant Price the total number, class and kind of shares as it would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had it continued to hold such shares until after the event
requiring adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder agrees that no further adjustment to the Warrant Price or the Shares issuable hereunder shall be made in connection with the 1 for 10 reverse split effected pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed on or about the date of issuance of this Warrant. 
 (b) Other Anti-dilution
Protections. Additional anti-dilution rights applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder upon exercise of the Warrant are as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation as may be amended from time to time. Such
anti-dilution rights may be restated, amended, modified or waived in any manner from time to time, as permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation, except that which may be adverse to the Holder hereof and different from other holders of Series C
Preferred Stock without the Holder’s written consent. The 

  
 Page 5 of 9










 PREFERRED STOCK WARRANT 

 
  

 
Company shall promptly provide the Holder with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Certification of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any inadvertent failure of
the Company to promptly provide Holder with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver to the Certificate of Incorporation shall not constitute a default under the Master Security Agreement between Company and Holder dated November 15,
2002. 
 8. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7 (a) hereof or on request
of the Holder, the Company shall prepare a certificate signed by its president or chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated, and the Warrant Price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by certified or registered mail, return receipt required,
postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days of such adjustment to the Holder of this Warrant as set forth in Section 19 hereof. 
 9.
“Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Holder hereby agrees that for a period of up to 180 days following the effective date of the first registration statement of the Company covering common stock (or other securities) to be sold on its
behalf of the Company in an underwritten public offering, it will not, to the extent requested by the Company and any underwriter, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to designees or transferees who agree to be similarly bound) any
of the Shares at any time during such period except common stock included in such registration; provided, however, that all officers and directors of the Company who hold securities of the Company or all other persons who own at least one percent
(1%) of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities enter into similar agreements. 
 10. Transferability of Warrant.
This Warrant is transferable on the books of the Company at its principal office by the registered Holder hereof upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with Section 5 and applicable federal and state securities
laws. The Company shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new Warrant representing the Warrant so transferred. Upon any partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to the Warrant not so transferred.
Holder shall not have any right to transfer any portion of this Warrant to any direct competitor of the Company. 
 11. [Paragraph intentionally
omitted] 
 12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional share of Series C Preferred Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise
hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional share the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect. 
 13. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Series C Preferred Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any United States
or state of the United States documentary stamp tax or other incidental expense with respect to the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the
Holder. 
 14. No Shareholder Rights Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights
as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. 
 15. Registry of Warrant. The Company shall maintain a registry showing
the name and address of the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of the Company, and the Company and Holder shall be entitled to rely in
all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry. 
 16. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and, if mutilated, upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant, having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant, in lieu hereof.
