OMEROS CORPORATION
Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant
     Omeros Corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that ______, or its registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time after the date hereof and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 6 below), up to ______shares of Series E Preferred Stock of the Company (“Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $  per share. The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the purchase price per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Stock” and the “Purchase Price,” respectively.
     1. Exercise.
        (a) Manner of Exercise. Subject to Section 17(a) below, this Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise. The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer or by the surrender of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Registered Holder.
        (b) Effective Time of Exercise. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Stock represented by such certificates.

 


 

        (c) Net Issue Exercise.
            (i) Subject to Section 17(a) below, in lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 1(a), the Registered Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) 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 such Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:
             
 
  X =   Y (A–B)
 
A
   
         
Where
  X =   The number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the Registered Holder.
 
 
  Y =   The number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).
 
 
  A =   The fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock (at the date of such calculation).
 
 
  B =   The Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
            (ii) For purposes of this Section 1(c), the fair market value of Warrant Stock on the date of calculation shall mean with respect to each share of Warrant Stock:
                (A) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Warrant Stock is convertible at the date of calculation;
                (B) if (A) is not applicable, the fair market value of Warrant Stock shall be at the highest price per share which the Company could obtain on the date of calculation from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Warrant Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, unless the Company is at such time subject to an acquisition as described in Section 5(b) below, in which case the fair market value of Warrant Stock shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of such stock pursuant to such acquisition.
        (d) Delivery to Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
            (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and

-2-


 

            (ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(a) or 1(c) above.
     2. Adjustments.
        (a) Redemption or Conversion of Preferred Stock. If all of the Preferred Stock is redeemed or converted into shares of Common Stock, then this Warrant shall automatically become exercisable for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the shares of Preferred Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event, and the Exercise Price shall be automatically adjusted to equal the number obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate Purchase Price of the shares of Preferred Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such redemption or conversion, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such redemption or conversion.
        (b) Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Preferred Stock shall be paid in respect of Preferred Stock, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
        (c) Reclassification, Etc. In case there occurs any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Registered Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, or reorganization shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.

        (d) Adjustment Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Stock or the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Purchase Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.
        (e) Acknowledgment. In order to avoid doubt, it is acknowledged that the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to the benefit of all adjustments in the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock of the Company which occur prior to the exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion as a result of a dilutive issuance of capital stock.
     3. Transfers.
        (a) Unregistered Security. Each holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this Warrant, the Warrant Stock and the Common Stock of the Company have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, any Warrant Stock issued upon its exercise or any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Warrant Stock in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Act as to this Warrant, such Warrant Stock or such Common Stock and registration or qualification of this Warrant, such Warrant Stock or such Common Stock under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. Each certificate or other instrument for Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3(a) shall not be applicable to distributions of this Warrant by ___ (“___”) to its Permitted Transferees (as defined below) in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 17(b) below.
        (b) Transferability. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(a), 3(d) and 17(b) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company.
        (c) Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant. Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Registered Holder may change such Registered Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.
        (d) “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Registered Holder hereby agrees that, during the period of duration (up to, but not exceeding, 180 days) specified by the Company

-4-


 

        and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except Common Stock included in such registration; provided, however, that:
            (i) such agreement shall be applicable only to the first such registration statement of the Company which covers Common Stock (or other securities) to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering; and
            (ii) all officers and directors of the Company, all one-percent securityholders, and all other persons with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) enter into similar agreements.
     In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Registered Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period, and each Registered Holder agrees that, if so requested, such Registered Holder will execute an agreement in the form provided by the underwriter containing terms which are essentially consistent with the provisions of this Section 3(d).
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 3(d) shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.
        (e) Rights Agreement. Each Registered Holder agrees that the Warrant Stock shall be subject to all of the covenants, including stock transfer restrictions set forth in Section 3, of the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement dated October 15, 2004 by and among the Company and the investors named therein, as such may be amended from time to time (the “Rights Agreement”), including without limitation any transfer restrictions set forth in any amendments to or restatements of Section 3 of the Rights Agreement; provided, however, that the Warrant Stock shall not be deemed “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement unless and until such time as the Registered Holder is an “Investor” pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement. The Company agrees to provide a copy of the Rights Agreement to each Registered Holder upon its request, and by acceptance of this Warrant, each Registered Holder acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Rights Agreement from the Company or that it has voluntarily not requested a copy of the Rights Agreement from the Company.
     4. Representations and Warranties of the Registered Holders. Each Registered Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
        4.1 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Warrant is issued to the Registered Holder in reliance upon the Registered Holder’s representation to the Company,

-5-


 

        which by the Registered Holder’s acceptance of this Agreement, the Registered Holder hereby confirms, that any Warrant Stock to be acquired by the Registered Holder upon exercise of this Warrant will be acquired for investment for the Registered Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Registered Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By accepting this Warrant, the Registered Holder further represents that the Registered Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Warrant Stock. The Registered Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Warrant Stock.
        4.2 Disclosure of Information. The Registered Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the Warrant with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities. The Registered Holder understands that such discussions, as well as the Company’s Business Plan and any other written information delivered by the Company to the Registered Holder, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business which it believes to be material.
        4.3 Restricted Securities. The Registered Holder understands that the Warrant Stock has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Registered Holder’s representations as expressed herein. The Registered Holder understands that the shares of Warrant Stock are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Registered Holder must hold the Warrant Stock indefinitely unless such shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Registered Holder acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to the Registered Holder to register or qualify the Warrant Stock for resale. The Registered Holder further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Warrant Stock, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Registered Holder’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
        4.4 No Public Market. The Registered Holder understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Warrant Stock.
        4.5 Legends. The Registered Holder understands that the Warrant Stock and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Warrant Stock, may bear one or all of the following legends:
            (a) “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN

NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”
            (b) Any legends set forth in the Rights Agreements and any other agreements to which the Company and the Registered Holder are party.
            (c) Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended.
        4.6 Accredited Investor. The Registered Holder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
     5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will (subject to Section 14 below) at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment.

     7. Notices of Certain Transactions. In case:
        (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Preferred Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or
        (b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger

Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
