AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS CONSENT AND FIRST AMENDMENT to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of June 26, 2014, by and among OXFORD FINANCE LLC (“Oxford”) as collateral agent (in such capacity, “Collateral Agent”), the Lenders listed on Schedule 1.1 of the Loan Agreement or otherwise a party thereto from time to time, including without limitation, Oxford in its capacity as a Lender, and SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“SVB”) (in such capacity, each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and RELYPSA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).

RECITALS

A. Collateral Agent, Lenders and Borrower have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 30, 2014 (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Loan Agreement”). Lenders have extended credit to Borrower for the purposes permitted in the Loan Agreement.

B. Borrower has negotiated a new lease (the “New Lease”) with HCP LS Redwood City, LLC (the “Landlord”), its existing landlord, for a new facility for its headquarters space located at 100 Cardinal Way, Redwood City, CA 94063 (the “New Headquarters Space”). The New Lease is conditioned on Borrower delivering to the Landlord a letter of credit in the amount of Six Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand Three Hundred Twenty and 46/100 Dollars ($686,320.46) (the “HQ Letter of Credit”). SVB has agreed to issue the HQ Letter of Credit subject to Borrower posting cash collateral in money market account number ******5826 maintained with SVB (the “LC Deposit Account”) in the amount of the HQ Letter of Credit solely to secure the reimbursement obligations of Borrower with respect to the HQ Letter of Credit (such cash collateral, together with interest accruing thereon and credited to the LC Deposit Account, and the LC Deposit Account, is referred to herein as the “HQ Cash Collateral”).

C. Borrower has requested that Collateral Agent and Lenders (i) consent to the New Lease and the move by Borrower of its headquarters to the New Headquarters Space, (ii) consent to the HQ Letter of Credit, (iii) consent to SVB’s Lien on the HQ Cash Collateral, and (iv) make certain amendments to the Loan Agreement as more fully set forth herein.

The Collateral consists of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the following personal property:

All goods, Accounts (including health-care receivables), Equipment, Inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of money, leases, license agreements, franchise agreements, General Intangibles (except as noted below), commercial tort claims, documents, instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), cash, deposit accounts and other Collateral Accounts, all certificates of deposit, fixtures, letters of credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, and financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include (i) any Intellectual Property; provided, however, the Collateral shall include all Accounts and all proceeds of Intellectual Property. If a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) would hold that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in such Accounts and such property that are proceeds of Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the Effective Date, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Accounts and such other property of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property, (ii) more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, if Debtor demonstrates to Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that a pledge of more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the Shares of such Foreign Subsidiary creates a present and existing adverse tax consequence to Borrower under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, (iii) (x) equipment, furniture, or fixtures placed on the Premises (as such term is defined in the Headquarters Lease) subject to a Lien described in clause (c) of the definition of Permitted Liens or (y) any lease, license, or contract, in each case if the granting of a Lien in any of the property or agreements described in the foregoing clauses (x) or (y) is prohibited by or would constitute a default under or a termination of any lease, license, or contract described in clauses (x) or (y), or give any Person the right to terminate such lease, license, or contract or is permitted only with the prior written consent of another Person, which such consent has not been obtained (but (A) only to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law and (B) other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Code); provided that upon the termination, lapsing or expiration of any such prohibition, the property or agreements described in the foregoing clauses (x) or (y), as applicable, shall automatically be subject to the security interest granted in favor of Collateral Agent hereunder and become part of the “Collateral”, and (iv) the HQ Cash Collateral to the extent the granting of a Lien to Collateral Agent in such HQ Cash Collateral is prohibited by the terms governing such HQ Cash Collateral; provided that upon the termination, lapsing or expiration of any such prohibition, the HQ Cash Collateral shall automatically be subject to the security interest granted in favor of Collateral Agent hereunder and become part of the “Collateral”.

Pursuant to the terms of a certain negative pledge arrangement with Collateral Agent and the Lenders, Borrower has agreed not to encumber any of its Intellectual Property.
