(iii) the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof (provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any conflict of interest that may arise with respect to any such counsel); or

(iv) any counsel employed by the applicable Indemnifying Party shall fail to timely commence or diligently conduct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding;

in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party. Only one counsel shall be retained by all Indemnified Parties with respect to any Indemnified Proceeding, unless counsel for any Indemnified Party reasonably concludes in good faith (which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and one or more other Indemnified Parties in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding or that there are or may be one or more different or additional defenses, claims, counterclaims, or causes or action available to such Indemnified Party.

Section 5.04 Settlement.

No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding in respect of which any payment would result hereunder or under the Operative Documents without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

Holdings agrees (and agrees to cause all of its members and any subsequent transferees thereof to so agree) that (i) it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, assign, transfer, grant or sell a participation in, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Warrants or Warrant Shares (or solicit any offers to buy or otherwise acquire, or take a pledge of, any Warrants) unless such Warrants or Warrant Shares are registered and/or qualified under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is otherwise available; provided, that Holdings may transfer the Warrants or Warrant Shares to Investors, RRD and each Symphony Fund; and Investors, but not any other member of Holdings, may distribute the Warrants or Warrant Shares to its respective members; (ii) (A) no transfer of such Warrants, or (B) with respect to a private placement of the Warrant Shares, no transfer of such Warrant Shares shall be effective or recognized unless the transferor and the transferee make the representations and agreements contained herein including, without limitation, agreeing to be bound by orderly sale provisions equivalent to those set forth in this Article VI and furnish to Exelixis such certifications and other information as Exelixis may reasonably request to confirm that any proposed transfer complies with the restrictions set forth herein and any applicable laws; and (iii) (A) Warrants may only be transferred in minimum denominations of Warrants representing the right to purchase at least 100,000 Warrant Shares, and (B) with respect to a private placement, Warrant Shares may only be transferred in minimum denominations of at least 100,000 Warrant Shares; provided, however, that in the event that any holder of any Warrants or Warrant Shares holds Warrants representing the right to purchase less than 100,000 Warrant Shares, or holds less than 100,000 Warrant Shares, as the case may be, such holder shall be entitled to exercise all, but not less than all, such Warrants and sell all, but not less than all, such Warrant Shares delivered to it in connection therewith, notwithstanding the fact that the number of such Warrant Shares is less than 100,000; provided, further, that Holdings agrees (and agrees to cause its members and any subsequent transferees thereof to so agree), that with respect to the Warrants, such holder of Warrants will not sell or otherwise transfer any Warrants, except in private placements to Accredited Investors.

Section 6.02 Legends.

(a) Holdings acknowledges and agrees that Exelixis shall affix to each certificate evidencing outstanding Warrants (and any certificates issued upon the transfer of the Warrants) a legend in substantially the following form (a “Warrant Legend”):

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SUCH SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

THE WARRANT EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JUNE 9, 2005, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE ISSUER. NO REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE ISSUER UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH RESTRICTIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND THE SAME HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SUCH SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JUNE 9, 2005, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE ISSUER. NO REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE ISSUER UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH RESTRICTIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

Section 6.03 Warrant Share Legend Removal. If the certificates representing such Warrants or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, include a Warrant Legend or Warrant Share Legend, as applicable (each as set forth in Section 6.02 hereof), Exelixis shall, upon a request from Holdings, or a member or subsequent transferee thereof, as soon as practicable but in no event more than thirty (30) days after receiving such request, remove or cause to be removed (i) if the Warrants or Warrant Shares cease to be restricted securities, the securities law portion of the Warrant Legend or Warrant Share Legend and/or (ii) in the event of a sale of the Warrants or Warrant Shares in compliance with the transfer restrictions, the transfer restriction portion of the Warrant Legend or Warrant Share Legend, from such certificates representing the Warrants or Warrant Shares as Holdings, or such member or transferee, shall designate, in accordance with the terms hereof and, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Warrant.

Section 6.04 Improper Transfer. Any attempt to sell, assign, transfer, grant or sell a participation in, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Warrants or any Warrant Shares, not in compliance with this Agreement shall be null and void and Exelixis shall give no effect to such attempted sale, assignment, transfer, grant, sale of a participation, pledge or other disposition.

Section 6.05 Orderly Sale. Holdings agrees (and agrees to cause its members and any subsequent transferees thereof to so agree) that in the event that any holder of Warrants exercises its Warrants to purchase Warrant Shares, the holders of the Warrant Shares will not sell or otherwise transfer in any one day shares of Exelixis Common Stock totaling, in the aggregate, more than 50,000 shares of such Exelixis Common Stock in the aggregate as such sale may be reported on NASDAQ (or other national exchange that is then the primary exchange on which Exelixis Common Stock is listed); provided, however, that Holdings (and its Affiliates, and any subsequent transferees) may sell such shares without regard to the 50,000 shares limitation in private placements to Accredited Investors so long as such sales are not reported on NASDAQ or any public exchange; provided, further, that any holder of Warrant Shares holding less than 50,000 Warrant Shares, shall not be subject to the restrictions of this Section 6.05, and none of Holdings or any of its Affiliates shall be required to monitor the sales of Warrant Shares of such holders.

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Exelixis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the financing of the clinical development of certain of the Company’s product candidates (the “Financing”). In connection with the Financing, the Company is entering into the agreements listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”). We are rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 3.02(d) of the Warrant Purchase Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made pursuant to the Transaction Agreements by the various parties and originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates, opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and have not sought to independently verify such matters. Where we render an opinion “to our knowledge” or concerning an item “known to us” or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based solely upon (i) an inquiry of attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company in this transaction, (ii) receipt of a certificate executed by an officer of the Company covering such matters and (iii) such other investigation, if any, that we specifically set forth herein.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements), where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents; and the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents (except the signatures on behalf of the Company on the Transaction Agreements). We have also assumed: that all individuals executing and delivering documents had the legal capacity to so execute and deliver; that the Transaction Agreements are obligations binding upon the parties thereto other than the Company; that the parties to the Transaction Agreements other than the Company have filed any required California franchise or income tax returns and have paid any required California franchise or income taxes; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction Agreements or to the Material Agreements (as defined below) that would modify or interpret the terms of any such agreements or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We note that the parties to the Transaction Agreements have designated the laws of the State of New York as the laws governing the Transaction Agreements. Our opinion in paragraph 5 below as to the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Transaction Agreements is premised upon the result that would obtain if a California court were to apply the internal laws of the State of California (notwithstanding the designation of the laws of the State of New York) to the interpretation and enforcement of the Transaction Agreements. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof.

We are not rendering any opinion as to any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree or decisional law relating to antitrust, banking, land use, environmental, pension, employee benefit, tax, fraudulent conveyance, usury, laws governing the legality of investments for regulated entities, regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or local law. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to compliance with antifraud laws, rules or regulations relating to securities or the offer and sale thereof; compliance with fiduciary duties by the Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders; compliance with safe harbors for disinterested Board of Director or stockholder approvals; compliance with state securities or blue sky laws except as specifically set forth below; or compliance with laws that place limitations on corporate distributions.

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 1 below with respect to the good standing of the Company, we have relied solely upon a certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of a recent date.

With regard to our opinion paragraph 3 below concerning defaults under and any material breaches of any agreement identified on Schedule II hereto, we have relied solely upon (i) a certificate of an officer of the Company, (ii) a list supplied to us by the Company of material agreements to which the Company is a party, or by which it is bound, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule II (the “Material Agreements”) and (iii) an examination of the Material Agreements in the form provided to us by the Company. We have made no further investigation. Further, with regard to our opinion in paragraph 3 below concerning Material Agreements, we express no opinion as to (i) financial covenants or similar provisions therein requiring financial calculations or determinations to ascertain compliance, (ii) provisions therein relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse event” or words of similar import or (iii) any statement or writing that may constitute parol evidence bearing on interpretation or construction.

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 7 below, we express no opinion to the extent that, notwithstanding its current reservation of shares of Common Stock, future issuances of securities of the Company and/or antidilution adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company may cause the Warrant Shares to be convertible for more shares of Common Stock than the number that then remain authorized but unissued.

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 8 with respect to exemption from registration, no opinion is expressed with respect to the integration of the offer and sale of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares with any offers or sales of securities occurring subsequent to the date hereof.

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 9 below, we have based our opinion, to the extent we consider appropriate, on Rule 3a-8 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and a certificate of an officer of the Company as to compliance with each of the requirements necessary to comply with Rule 3a-8. We have conducted no further investigation.

On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the foregoing qualifications, we are of the opinion that:

1.	The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2.	The Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements. Each of the Transaction Agreements has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby that would occur at the closing of the sale and issuance of the Warrant (as defined on Schedule I hereto) will not, (a) violate any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (b) violate any governmental statute, rule or regulation which in our experience is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, (c) violate any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award which has been entered against the Company and of which we are aware or (d) constitute a default under or a material breach of any Material Agreement, in the case of clause (d) to the extent such default or breach would materially and adversely affect the Company.

All consents, approvals, authorizations or orders of, and filings, registrations and qualifications with any U.S. Federal or California regulatory authority or governmental body required for the due execution or delivery by the Company of any Transaction Agreement and the sale and issuance of the Warrant have been made or obtained, except (a) for the filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D and (b) for the filing of the notice to be filed under California Corporations Code Section 25102.1(d).

Each of the Transaction Agreements constitutes, and, if the B Warrants and C Warrants (each as defined in the Warrant Purchase Agreement) were to be issued at the closing of the sale and issuance of the Warrant in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, each of the B Warrants and the C Warrants would constitute, a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution under Sections 6 and 7 of the Registration Rights Agreement, Section 10 of the Purchase Option Agreement, Article V of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, Section 15 of the Research and Development Agreement, Section 15 of the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement, Section 6 of the Technology License Agreement, Section 6 of the Novated and Restated Technology License Agreement, Paragraphs (c)(iv) under “Yale Agreement” in Annex C of the Technology License Agreement, Paragraph (c)(vi) under “Regents Agreement” in Annex C of the Technology License Agreement, Paragraph (c)(iv) under “Yale Agreement” in Annex C of the Novated and Restated Technology License Agreement and Paragraph (c)(vi) under “Regents Agreement” in Annex C of the Novated and Restated Technology License Agreement may be limited by applicable laws and except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, suretyship, dissolution, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and the law of fraudulent transfer, and subject to state law, federal law, or general equity principles and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

6.	The offer and sale of the Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Purchase Agreement) have been duly authorized by the Company.

The Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrant Purchase Agreement) and, assuming the Purchase Option (as defined in the Purchase Option Agreement) is exercised in accordance with the Purchase Option Agreement, the Exelixis Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Option Agreement), when sold and issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants or the Purchase Option Agreement, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares is not be subject to preemptive rights pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or similar rights to subscribe pursuant to any Material Agreement.

8.	The offer and sale of the Warrants and Warrant Shares are and will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to the timely filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D.

9.	The Company is not an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Our opinion in paragraph 5 above is specifically subject to the following limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:

A. We express no opinion as to the effect of court decisions, invoking statutes or principles of equity, which have held that certain covenants and provisions of agreements are unenforceable where enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would violate the enforcing party’s implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing or would be limited by the principles of course of dealing or course of performance.

B. We express no opinion as to the effect of any federal or state law or equitable principle which provides that a court may refuse to enforce, or may limit the application of, a contract or any clause thereof that the courts find to be unconscionable at the time it was made or contrary to public policy.

C. We express no opinion as to the enforceability under certain circumstances of provisions expressly or by implication waiving broadly or vaguely stated rights, unknown future rights including without limitation rights to damages, or defenses to obligations or rights granted by law, when such waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law.

D. We express no opinion as to the enforceability under certain circumstances of provisions to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that rights or remedies may be exercised without notice, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy, that election of a particular remedy or remedies does not preclude recourse to one or more remedies, or that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy.

E. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of an applicable agreement requiring that waivers must be in writing; such provision may not be binding or enforceable if a non-executory oral agreement has been created modifying any such provision or if an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has given rise to a waiver.

F. Enforceability of the following rights and remedies may be limited by applicable law: (i) any provision which provides for a rate of interest which exceeds that permissible under applicable law; (ii) any provision which purports to affect the jurisdiction of a court (including provisions as to methods of service of process and as to property which may be subject to such jurisdiction) or may be subject to the discretion of a court (including provisions as to venue); (iii) any provision which purports to make available remedies for violations, breaches or defaults that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be non-material or unreasonable; (iv) any provision which provides for a choice of law or choice of forum; (v) any provision relating to the indemnification or exculpation of any party; and (vi) any provision that contains a

waiver of the benefits of statutory, regulatory, or constitutional rights, unless and to the extent the statute, regulation, or constitution explicitly allows waiver, including without limitation, any provision which purports to waive trial by jury.

G. We express no opinion with respect to the following: (i) any document referenced in the Transaction Agreements that is not a Transaction Agreement; and (ii) the enforceability of the Transaction Agreements by or against any person or entity that is not a party thereto.

H. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision for penalties, liquidated damages, acceleration of future amounts due (other than principal) without appropriate discount to present value, late charges, prepayment charges, or increased interest rates upon default.

I. We express no opinion as the enforceability of any provision stating that the provisions of a contract are severable.

J. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision that would permit the other party to require performance without requiring consideration of the impracticability or impossibility of performance at the time of attempted enforcement due to unforeseen circumstances not within the contemplation of the parties.

K. We express no opinion as to the Company’s rights in the technology which is the subject of the Technology License Agreement, the Novated and Restated Technology License Agreement, the Research and Development Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement (collectively, the “Technology Agreements”). We further express no opinion to the extent that portions of the Technology Agreements may be deemed to be agreements to agree, or as to the future interpretation of these agreements.

EXELIXIS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

June 9, 2005

Void After June 9, 2010

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, SYMPHONY EVOLUTION HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with its principal office at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (as defined below) from EXELIXIS, INC., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Company”), up to Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand (750,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2005, between the Company and Holder (the “Warrant Purchase Agreement”).

1. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

(a) “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on June 9, 2010.

(b) “Exercise Price” shall mean $8.90 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 below.

(c) “Exercise Shares” shall mean the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms herein, including but not limited to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 below.

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

2.1 Generally. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate pursuant to Section 12 hereof):

(a) an executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;

(b) payment of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby subscribed for by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank to the Company, or by means of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2.2; and

(c) this Warrant.

Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder as soon as practicable, but in no event longer than 30 days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, if available and if allowed under applicable securities laws, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this section electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Exercise Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Exercise Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

2.2 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)

Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder


Y =		the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)

A =		the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

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

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall equal the average closing price of the Common Stock, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, on the NASDAQ National Market, or other national exchange that is then the primary exchange on which the Common Stock is listed (the “the Principal Market”), for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the second trading day prior to the date on which the Holder delivers to the Company an executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto. If the Common Stock is not quoted on the NASDAQ National Market, or listed on another national exchange, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith.

2.3 Legend. All certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legends:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JUNE 9, 2005, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE ISSUER. NO REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE ISSUER UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH RESTRICTIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

2.4 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of 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 or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

3.1 No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

3.2 Notices of Record Date. If at any time:

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right (other than with respect to any equity or equity equivalent security issued pursuant to a rights plan adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors);

(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company; or

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof.

4. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations or the like, the number and class of shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.

5. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, including as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. If the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share (determined as provided in Section 2.2 hereof) by such fraction; provided, however, that the Company may elect in its sole discretion to issue the next higher number of full shares of Common Stock by issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.

6. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of the Common Stock, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of this Section 6, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

7. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the number of Exercise Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, which notice shall

state the number of Exercise Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Exercise Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.

8. ORDERLY SALE. This Warrant and the Exercise Shares are subject to the provisions of Section 6.05 of the Warrant Purchase Agreement.

9. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 2, the Exercise Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date of such exercise.

10. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws, the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant and the provisions of Article VI of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable by the Holder, in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant, the Assignment Form attached hereto and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer, to any transferee designated by Holder. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Exercise Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

_______ __, 2006

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, SYMPHONY EVOLUTION HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with its principal office at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (as defined below) from EXELIXIS, INC., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Company”), up to _________________________ ( ) [FILL IN NUMBER OF SHARES AT ISSUANCE BASED ON SECTION 2.02 OF WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT] shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2005, between the Company and Holder (the “Warrant Purchase Agreement”).

19. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

(a) “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on June 9, 2010.

(b) “Exercise Price” shall mean $8.90 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 below.

20. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

20.1 Generally. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate pursuant to Section 12 hereof):

(a) an executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;

(c) this Warrant.

20.2 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)

Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder


Y =		the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)

A =		the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

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

20.3 Legend. All certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legends:

20.4 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of 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 or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

21. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

21.1 No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

21.2 Notices of Record Date. If at any time:

reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof.

22. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations or the like, the number and class of shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.

23. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, including as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. If the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share (determined as provided in Section 2.2 hereof) by such fraction; provided, however, that the Company may elect in its sole discretion to issue the next higher number of full shares of Common Stock by issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.

24. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of the Common Stock, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of this Section 6, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the

happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

25. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the number of Exercise Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the number of Exercise Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Exercise Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.

26. ORDERLY SALE. This Warrant and the Exercise Shares are subject to the provisions of Section 6.05 of the Warrant Purchase Agreement.

27. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 2, the Exercise Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date of such exercise.

28. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws, the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant and the provisions of Article VI of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable by the Holder, in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant, the Assignment Form attached hereto and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer, to any transferee designated by Holder. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Exercise Shares without having a new Warrant issued. The Company may require, as a condition of allowing a transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company, (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act and (iv) the transferee agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Warrant and the Warrant Purchase Agreement as if an original signatory thereto.

29. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

30. NOTICES, ETC. Any notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication that is required or permitted to be given hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if delivered to the applicable party personally or sent to the party by facsimile transmission (promptly followed by a hard-copy delivered in accordance with this Section 12), by next business day delivery by a nationally recognized courier service, or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), with postage and registration or certification fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the party at its address set forth in the Warrant Purchase Agreement, or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other party hereto.

31. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

32. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
