     6. Payments to Executive Upon Termination of Employment.

     (a) Termination. Upon the occurrence of an event of termination (as
hereinafter defined) during the period of Executive's employment under this
Agreement, the provisions of this paragraph 6(a) and paragraph 6(b) shall apply.
As used in this Agreement, an "event of termination" shall mean and include any
one or more of the following:

          (i) The termination by the Company of Executive's employment hereunder
     for any reason other than pursuant to paragraph 6(c); or

          (ii) Executive's resignation from the Company's employ, upon not less
     than thirty (30) days' prior written notice.

     (b) Continuation of Salary and Other Benefits. Upon the occurrence of an
event of termination under paragraph 6(a), the Company (i) shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 7 below, pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent
death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries of his estate, as the case may be, as
severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, semi-monthly for a period of
twelve (12) months following the event of termination (the "Severance Payment
Period"), a sum equal to his current salary in effect at the time of the event
of termination, but in no case less than $340,000 per annum, (ii) shall continue
to provide the other benefits referred to in Section 5 hereof until the end of
the Severance Payment Period or until Executive becomes employed elsewhere,
whichever is earlier, and (iii) shall continue to provide the benefits provided
for in paragraph 4(c) to the extent of expenses incurred but not reimbursed
prior to the event of termination. Such payments shall commence on the last day
of the next regular pay period following the date of the event of termination,
or, at the election of the Company, may be paid in one lump sum or in such other
installments as may be mutually agreed between the Company and Executive or, in
the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries or legal
representative, as the case may be.

     (c) Other Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding paragraphs 6(a) and
(b) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if on or after the
date of this Agreement and prior to the end of the term hereof:

          (i) Executive has been convicted of any crime or offense constituting
     a felony under applicable law, including, without limitation, any act of
     dishonesty such as embezzlement, theft or larceny;

          (ii) Executive shall act or refrain from acting in respect of any of
     the duties and responsibilities which have been assigned to him in
     accordance with this Agreement and shall fail to desist from such action or
     inaction within ten (10) days (or such longer period of time, not exceeding
     ninety (90) days, as Executive shall in good faith and the exercise of
     reasonable efforts require to desist from such action or inaction) after
     Executive's receipt of notice from the Company of such action or inaction
     and the Board of Directors determines



                                      -3-
<PAGE>

     that such action or inaction constituted gross negligence or a willful act
     of malfeasance or misfeasance of Executive in respect of such duties; or

          (iii) Executive shall breach any material term of this Agreement and
     shall fail to correct such breach within ten (10) days (or such longer
     period of time, not exceeding ninety (90) days, as Executive shall in good
     faith and the exercise of reasonable efforts require to cure such breach)
     after Executive's receipt of notice from the Company of such breach;

then, and in each such case, the Company shall have the right to give notice of
termination of Employee's services hereunder as of a date (not earlier than
fourteen (14) days from such notice) to be specified in such notice and this
Agreement (other than the provisions of Section 7 hereof) shall terminate on
such date.

     7. Post-Termination Obligations. All payments and benefits to Executive
under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive's compliance with the
following provisions during the term of his employment and for the Severance
Payment Period:

          (a) Confidential Information and Competitive Conduct. Executive shall
     not, to the detriment of the Company, disclose or reveal to any
     unauthorized person any trade secret or other confidential information
     relating to the Company or its affiliates or to any businesses operated by
     them, and Executive confirms that such information constitutes the
     exclusive property of the Company. Executive shall not otherwise act or
     conduct himself to the material detriment of the Company or its affiliates,
     or in a manner which is inimical or contrary to the interests thereof, and
     shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in, enter the employ of or render
     any service to any person, firm or business in direct competition with any
     part of the business being conducted by the Company; provided, however,
     that Executive's ownership less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding
     stock of a corporation shall not be itself be deemed to constitute such
     competition. Executive recognizes that the possible restrictions on his
     activities which may occur as a result of his performance of his
     obligations under this paragraph 7(a) are required for the reasonable
     protection of the Company and its investments. For purposes hereof, "direct
     competition" means the pursuit of one or more of the same therapeutic or
     diagnostic indications utilizing a substantially similar scientific basis.

          (b) Failure of Executive to Comply. If, for any reason other than
     death or disability, Executive shall, without written consent of the
     Company, fail to comply with the provisions of paragraph 7(a) above, his
     rights to any future payments or other benefits hereunder shall terminate,
     and the Company's obligations to make such payments and provide such
     benefits shall cease.

          (c) Remedies. Executive agrees that monetary damages would not be
     adequate compensation for any loss incurred by the Company by reason of a
     breach of the



                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     provisions of this Section 7 and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any
     action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     8. Effect of Prior Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior employment
agreements between the Company and Executive.

     9. General Provisions.

     (a) Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of, Executive and the Company and their respective permitted
successors and assigns.

     (b) Legal Expenses. In the event that Executive incurs legal expenses in
contesting any provision of this Agreement and such contest results in a
determination that the Company has breached any of its obligations hereunder,
Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for such legal expenses.

     10. Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Assignment by the Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and, unless
clearly inapplicable, reference herein to the Company shall be deemed to include
its successors and assigns.

     (b) Assignment by Executive. Executive may not assign this Agreement in
whole or in part.

     11. Modification and Waiver.

     (a) Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended
except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

     (b) Waiver. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have
been waived except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver.
No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically
stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term
or condition waived.

     12. Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement or any part
hereof is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any remaining part of
such provision or any other provision. If any court construes any provision of
this Agreement to be illegal, void or unenforceable because of the duration or
the area or matter covered thereby, such court shall reduce the duration, area
or matter of such provision, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then
be enforceable and shall be enforced.

                                    Exhibit A

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE


$143,547.44                                              Berkeley, California
-----------
                                                         March 26, 2001


     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the "Obligor") hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the order of XOMA Ltd., a Bermuda company (the "Obligee"),
the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED FORTY-THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN
AND 44/100 DOLLARS ($143,547.44) (the "Principal Amount") together with interest
from the date hereof at a rate per annum of six percent (6%) on the earlier of
(a) five (5) days after the demand of the Obligee if the Obligor ceases to be
employed by the Obligee or (b) the 25TH day of March, 2002. Said principal sum,
and/or any accrued interest, may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium
or penalty.

     1. It is hereby understood and agreed that if default be made in the
payment of the Principal Amount or of interest accrued and unpaid thereon, then
the Obligee may exercise any remedies available at law or in equity, including,
but not limited to, foreclosure upon the shares of Obligee's common stock which
have hereupon been pledged by the Obligor to the Obligee as security for the
Obligor's obligations hereunder pursuant to a Pledge Agreement, but shall not be
obligated to proceed first against such collateral and may proceed directly on
this Promissory Note. In the event of any such default, the Obligee shall be
entitled also to all costs of collection, including the reasonable fees of an
attorney. In the event the Obligee proceeds against the collateral and the
proceeds of the collateral are inadequate to pay any amounts due on this
Promissory Note, the Obligor shall remain liable for any deficiency. In
addition, and without limitation of any other provision of this Paragraph, in
the event of any default described above, the Obligor authorizes and requests
the Obligee to deduct and withhold from compensation otherwise payable by the
Obligee to the Obligor an amount equal to the defaulted payment of the Principal
Amount and/or of interest accrued and unpaid thereon; provided however, that the
Obligee may not so deduct more than fifty (50) percent of any payment of
compensation otherwise due the Obligor.

     2. If application shall be made for the appointment of a receiver, trustee
or liquidator of the Obligor or any of his property, or if the Obligor shall
make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, be adjudicated a
bankrupt or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or seek reorganization of
any arrangement with creditors, the Obligee may declare this Promissory Note to
be due and payable, whereupon this Promissory Note shall forthwith become due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of protest, notice
of dishonor, notice of nonpayment or any other notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived.

     3. No delay or omission on the part of the Obligee in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right, nor
shall any delay,



<PAGE>

omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same
or any other right on any future occasion.

     4. If any provision of this Promissory Note should be found to be invalid
or unenforceable, all other provisions shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect. This Promissory Note and any of its terms may be changed, waived or
terminated only by a written instrument signed by the party against which
enforcement of that change, waiver or termination is sought. The rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted and
enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California,
without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

     WITNESS the due execution hereof as of the date first above written.

                                _______________________________________________

     PLEDGE AGREEMENT dated March 26, 2001, between Patrick J. Scannon, M.D.,
Ph.D. (the "Pledgor"), and XOMA Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the "Pledgee").

of Common Stock, par value $0.0005 per share, issued by the Pledgee; and

     WHEREAS, the Pledgee has agreed to loan the Pledgee $143,547.44 in
connection with the certain liabilities related to the Pledged Shares (the
"Loan"), and the Pledgor has simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement
executed a Promissory Note (the "Note") evidencing such indebtedness;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the
Pledgee to make the Loan, the Pledgor hereby agrees with the Pledgee as follows:

therefrom.

     SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures the payment of

otherwise (all such obligations of the Pledgor being the "Obligations").

     SECTION 3. Delivery of Pledged Shares. All certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing the Pledged Shares shall be delivered to and held by
or on behalf of the Pledgee pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for
transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of

Pledgee. In addition, the Pledgee shall have the right at any time to exchange
certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Shares for
certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

     SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and

          (i) The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged
     Shares free and clear of any lien, security interest, option or other
     charge or encumbrance except for the security interest created by this
     Agreement.

          (ii) The pledge of the Pledged Shares pursuant to this Agreement
     creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the
     Pledged Shares, securing the payment of the Obligations.



<PAGE>

     SECTION 5. Further Assurances. The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from
time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor the Pledgor will promptly execute
and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action,
that may be necessary or appropriate, or that the Pledgee may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or
purported to be g ranted hereby or to enable the Pledgee to exercise and enforce
its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Shares.

     SECTION 6. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no default exists
under the Note:

          (i) The Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and
     other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Shares.

          (ii) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
     dividends in respect of the Pledged Shares, provided, however, that any and
     all dividends paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and
     instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise
     distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Shares, and any
     and all dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in
     respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total
     liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
     capital surplus or paid-in-surplus shall be delivered to the Pledgee to
     hold as collateral as if such were Pledged Shares (such Collateral,
     together with the Pledged Shares, the "Pledged Collateral") and shall, if
     received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the
     Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and
     be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee as Pledged Collateral in the same for
     as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

     (b) Upon the occurrence of a default under the Note, all rights of the
Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section y(a)(i) and to receive the
dividends which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant
to Section (a)(ii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become
vested in the Pledgee who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such
voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged collateral
such dividends, and all dividends which are received by the Pledgor contrary to
the provisions of this Section (b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of
the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be
forthwith paid over the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so
received with any necessary indorsement).

     SECTION 7. Pledgee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Pledgee the Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor
or otherwise, from time to time in the Pledgee's discretion, to take any action
and to execute any instrument which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable
to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to
receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor
repre-



                                       -2-
<PAGE>

senting any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Pledge Shares and
to give full discharge for the same, when and to the extent permitted by this
Agreement.

     SECTION 8. Pledgee May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Pledgee may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Pledgee incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor under Section 11.

     SECTION 9. Reasonable Care. The Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its
possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equivalent to that which the Pledgee accords its own property, it being
understood that the Pledgee shall not have responsibility for taking any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of
the Pledged Collateral.

     SECTION 10. Remedies upon Default. If any default under the Note shall have
occurred:

          (a) The Pledgee may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in
     addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
     available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default
     under the Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") in effect in the State of
     California at that time (in compliance with all applicable securities
     laws), and the Pledgee may also, without notice except as specified below,
     sell (in compliance with all applicable securities laws) the Pledged
     collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private
     sale, at any exchange, broker's board, for cash, on credit or for future
     delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the
     Pledgee may deem commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the
     extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice
     to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
     which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
     notification. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of
     Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.

          (b) Any cash held by the Pledgee as Pledged Collateral and all cash
     proceeds received by the Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection
     from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral
     may, in the discretion of the Pledgee, be held by the Pledgee as collateral
     for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any
     amounts payable to the Pledgee pursuant to Section 11) in whole or in part
     by the Pledgee against all or any part of the Obligations in such order as
     the Pledgee shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by
     the Pledgee and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations
     shall be paid over the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
     receive such surplus.

     SECTION 11. Expenses. The Pledgor will upon demand pay to the Pledgee the
amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the fees and expenses of
its counsel



                                       -3-
<PAGE>

and of any agents, which the Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the
custody of, or the sale or other realization upon, any of the Pledged
collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the
Pledgee, or (iii) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the
provisions hereof.

     SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee and
security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder,
