PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
(70,000 Shares of Series J Preferred Stock)
THIS SERIES J PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as
of June 11, 1997 by and between CombiChem, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company"), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Purchaser," which term includes his heirs,
executors, guardians, successors and assigns).
WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchaser are parties to that certain Stock
Option Agreement dated December 1, 1995 (the "Option Agreement") pursuant to
which the Company granted Purchaser an option to purchase up to 140,000 shares
of the Company's Series J Preferred Stock at an option price of $0.10 per share;
and
WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase shares of the Company's Series
J Preferred Stock pursuant to the Option Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Purchaser
hereby agree as follows:
1. Sale of Preferred Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby purchases, and the Company hereby sells to
the Purchaser, Seventy Thousand shares of the Company's Series J Preferred Stock
(the "Shares") at a price of ten cents ($0.10) per share, for an aggregate sum
of Seven Thousand ($7,000) (the "Purchase Price").
2. Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall occur at the
offices of the Company, on that date the Purchaser has conditionally delivered
to the Company (i) Purchaser's signature on the Agreement's signature page
offering to purchase the Shares, (ii) an executed Consent of Spouse attached
hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference and (iii) consideration
equal to the Purchase Price in the form of cash (requiring a receipt signed by
Company officer), or check and an authorized officer of the Company, after
having confirmed that Purchaser has complied with the conditions precedent to
execution, executes this Agreement on behalf of the Company (the "Closing").
Within ten business days of the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the
Purchaser a share certificate dated the date of the Closing, registered in the
name the Purchaser designates, representing the Shares purchased by the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:
(a) Organization and Standing; Articles and Bylaws. The Company is
a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the
laws of the
4
State of California, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own
and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently
conducted.
(b) Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the
Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all
the Company's obligations under this Agreement and for the authorization,
issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares and the common stock issuable upon
conversion thereof (the "Underlying Common Shares") has been taken or will be
taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the
Company and the Purchaser shall constitute a valid and legally binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of
debtors.
(c) Validity of the Shares. The Shares and the Underlying Common
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser
hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Authorization. The Purchaser has the requisite legal power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement when executed
shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser.
(b) Investment Intent. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser
in reliance upon his representation to the Company, which by his execution
hereof he confirms, that the Shares have been acquired with his own funds for
investment for an indefinite period for his own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and
that he has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser
further represents that he does not 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 Shares.
(c) Reliance Upon the Purchaser's Representations. The Purchaser
understands (i) that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act or
qualified under the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended (the
"Law"), and (ii) that the Shares are being issued to the Purchaser on the ground
that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities
hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and the
exemption from qualification provided by Section 25102(f) of the Law, and (iii)
that the Company's reliance on such exemptions is predicated on the Purchaser's
representations set forth herein. The Purchaser realizes that the basis for the
exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the
Purchaser has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for a fixed or determinable
period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not
rise. The Purchaser does not have any such intention. These exemptions only
exempt
-2-
5
the issuance of the Shares to the Purchaser and not any sale or other
disposition of the Shares or any interest therein by the Purchaser.
(d) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser hereby confirms that the
Purchaser has been informed that the Shares are restricted securities under the
Securities Act and may not be resold or transferred unless the Shares are first
registered under the Federal securities laws or unless an exemption from such
registration is available. In addition, the Purchaser understands that any
resale or transfer must comply with applicable state securities laws.
Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser is prepared to
hold the Shares for an indefinite period, and that the Purchaser is familiar
with the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
under the Securities Act, and is aware that Rule 144 is not presently available
to exempt the sale of the Shares from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
(e) Receipt of Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that he has
received all the information he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Shares. The Purchaser further represents that he has had
an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding
the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business,
properties, prospects, and financial condition of the Company and to obtain
additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or
could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the
accuracy of any information furnished to Purchaser or to which Purchaser had
access.
(f) Investment Experience. In connection with representations made
herein, the Purchaser represents that he has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of his investment, has the ability to bear the economic risks of his
investment and has been furnished with and has had access to all of the
information he considers necessary or appropriate to evaluate the risks and
merits of an investment in the Shares, and has had an opportunity to discuss the
Company's business, management and financial affairs with the Company's
management.
(g) Limitations on Disposition. The Purchaser agrees that in no
event will he make a disposition of any of the Shares, unless and until (a) he
shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have
furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the
proposed disposition, and (b) he shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (i) such
disposition will not require registration of such Shares under the Securities
Act, or (ii) that appropriate action necessary for compliance with the
Securities Act has been taken, or (c) the Company shall have waived, expressly
and in writing, its rights under clauses (a) and (b) of this subparagraph. The
opinion shall also indicate that the disposition is exempt from, in compliance
with, or qualified under all applicable state securities laws.

(h) Public Sale. The Purchaser agrees not to make, without the
prior written consent of the Company, any public offering or sale of the Shares,
even if permitted to do so pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the
Securities Act, until the earlier of (i) six months after the date on which the
Company effects its initial registered public offering pursuant to the
Securities Act or (ii) five years after the date of the Closing of this
Agreement.
(i) Legends. All certificates representing any shares of the
Company subject to the provisions of this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon
customary legends regarding:
(1) Restrictions on transfer under the Federal Securities
Act of 1933.
(2) Market Stand-off Agreement pursuant to Section 6 hereof.
(3) Right of First Refusal upon any resale of the Shares,
pursuant to the Company's Bylaws and Section 5 hereof.
(4) Any legend required by state securities laws.
5. Company Right Of First Refusal. Any resale of the Shares shall be
subject to the Right of First Refusal provisions set forth in Article VI of the
Company's Bylaws. This right terminates upon the Company completing its initial
public offering of stock.
6. Market Stand-off Agreement.
(a) In connection with any underwritten public offering by the
Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement
filed under the Securities Act, including the Company's initial public offering,
the Purchaser shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge,
grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value
or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect
to the Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or its
underwriters. Such limitations shall be in effect for one hundred eighty (180)
days from and after the effective date of such registration statement or such
longer time as may be required by the Company's underwriters.
(b) In the event any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization
or other change affecting the Company's outstanding common shares is effected
without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional
securities distributed with respect to the Shares shall be immediately subject
to the provisions of this Section 6 to the same extent the Shares are at such
time covered by such provisions.
(c) In order to enforce the limitations of this Section 6, the
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares until
the end of the applicable stand-off period.

(d) The obligation in this Section 6 shall not apply to a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plan shares or to a Rule 145
transaction registered on Form S-4.

such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be
necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
