                               WARRANT AGREEMENT

             To Purchase Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of

                            ADVANCED MEDICINE, INC.

                 Dated as of May 7, 1997 (the "Effective Date")

     WHEREAS, Advanced Medicine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
has entered into a Master Lease Agreement dated as of May 7, 1997, Equipment
Schedule No. VL-1 dated as of May 7, 1997, and related Summary Equipment
Schedules (collectively, the "Leases") with Comdisco, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Warrantholder"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Warrantholder, in consideration
for such Leases, the right to purchase shares of its Series A Preferred Stock;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and
delivering such Leases and in consideration of mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:

1.   GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK.

     The Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,
to subscribe to and purchase, from the Company, 32,000 fully paid and
non-assessable shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred
Stock") at a purchase price of $1.25 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The
number, class and purchase price of such shares are subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 8 hereof.

2.   TERM OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.

     Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant
Agreement and the right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted herein shall
commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period of (i)
seven (7) years or (ii) three (3) years from the effective date of the
Company's initial public offering, whichever is longer.

3.   EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.

     The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant Agreement are exercisable
by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time,
prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 above, by
tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed
and executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment
of the purchase price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no
event later than twenty-one (21) days thereafter, the Company shall issue to
the Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit II (the "Acknowledgment of Exercise") indicating
the number of shares which remain subject to future purchases, if any.

     The Exercise Price may be paid at the Warrantholder's election either
(i) by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of Warrants ("Net Issuance") as
determined below. If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the
Company will issue Preferred Stock in accordance with the following formula:


                                       - 1 -
<PAGE>

             X = Y(A-B)
                 ------
             A
Where: X =   the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the
Warrantholder.

          Y =    the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested to be
                 exercised under this Warrant Agreement.

          A =    the fair market value of one (1) share of Preferred Stock.

          B =    the Exercise Price.

    For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of
Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Preferred Stock:

          (i)  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 SEC, 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 Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such
    exercise;

          (ii) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with
    the Company's initial public offering, and:

               (a)  if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value
         shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing
         prices over a twenty-one (21) day period ending three days before
         the day the current fair market value of the securities is being
         determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which
         each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such
         exercise; or

               (b)  if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market
         value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the
         closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar
         system) over the twenty-one (21) day period ending three days before
         the day the current fair market value of the securities is being
         determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which
         each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such
         exercise;

          (iii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any
    securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the
    over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Preferred Stock
    shall be the product of (x) the highest price per share which the Company
    could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director)
    for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but
    unissued shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors
    and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of
    Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise, unless the
    Company shall become subject to a merger, acquisition or other
    consolidation pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving party,
    in which case the fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to
    be the value received by the holders of the Company's Preferred Stock on
    a common equivalent basis pursuant to such merger or acquisition.

     Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall
promptly issue an amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining number
of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such
amended Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein,
including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.

4.   RESERVATION OF SHARES.

     (a) AUTHORIZATION AND RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the term of this
Warrant Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise
of the rights to purchase Preferred Stock as provided for herein.

5.   NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.


                                       - 2 -
<PAGE>

     No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional
shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the
Exercise Price then in effect.

6.   NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.

     This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting
rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise
of the Warrant.

7.   WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.

     The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the
registered holder of this Warrant Agreement.

8.   ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.

     The purchase price per share and the number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:

     (a)  MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS. If at any time there shall be a capital
reorganization of the shares of the Company's stock (other than a
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise
provided for herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into another corporation whether or not the Company is the surviving
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
properties and assets to any other person (hereinafter referred to as a
"Merger Event"), then, as a part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall
be made so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive,
upon exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of preferred stock or
other securities of the successor corporation resulting from such Merger
Event, equivalent in value to that which would have been issuable if
Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the Merger
Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith
by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the
provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the rights and interest
of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that the provisions of
this Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and
number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable to the
greatest extent possible.

     (b)  RECLASSIFICATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time shall, by
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities,
mandatory conversion pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under
this Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of
securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall
thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities
as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange,
subdivision, mandatory conversion or other change.

     (c)  SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time
shall combine or subdivide its Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately
increased in the case of a combination.

     (d)  STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company at any time shall pay a dividend
payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution
specifically provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) or (b)) of the
Company's stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after
the record date of such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record
date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of
all shares of the Company's stock outstanding immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the
total number of all shares of the Company's stock outstanding immediately
after such dividend or distribution. The Warrantholder shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment,
the number of shares of Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest whole
share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon
the exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. The
application of Section 8(d) is not intended to result in a double adjustment
and if an adjustment is contemplated bythe Certificate of Incorporation no
adjustment will be implemented pursuant to this Section 8(d).

     (e)  ANTIDILUTION RIGHTS. Additional antidilution rights applicable to
the Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the Effective Date, a true
and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit ___ (the "Charter").
The Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with any restatement,
amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter. The Company shall provide
Warrantholder with written notice of any issuance of its stock or other
equity security to occur after the Effective Date of this Warrant, which
notice shall include (a) the price at which such stock or security is to be
sold, (b) the number of shares to be issued, and (c) such other information
as necessary for Warrantholder to determine if a dilutive event has occurred.

     (f)  NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. If: (i) the Company shall declare any
dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash, property, stock or
other securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription prorata to
the holders of any class of its Preferred or other convertible stock any
additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be
any Merger Event; (iv) there shall be an initial public offering; or (v)
there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall send to
the Warrantholder: (A) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the
date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken
for such dividend, distribution, subscription rights (specifying the date on
which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for
determining rights to vote in respect of such Merger Event, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up; (B) in the case of any such Merger Event,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least twenty (20) days' prior
written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the
date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exchange
their Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and (C) in the case of
a public offering, the Company shall give the Warrantholder at least twenty
(20) days written notice prior to the effective date thereof.

     Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the
event requiring the adjustment, (ii) the amount of the adjustment, (iii) the
method by which such adjustment was calculated, (iv) the Exercise Price, and
(v) the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to
such adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Warrantholder, at the address as shown on the books of the
Company.

     (g)  TIMELY NOTICE. Failure to timely provide such notice required by
subsection (f) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the
applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. The notice period shall
begin on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice containing
all the information specified above.

9.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

accordance with their respective terms.

     (c)  CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. No consent or approval of, giving of notice
to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state,
Federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with


                                       - 4 -

respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its
obligations under this Warrant Agreement, except for the filing of notices
pursuant to Regulation D under the 1933 Act and any filing required by
applicable state securities law, which filings will be effective by the time
required thereby.

     (d)  ISSUED SECURITIES. All issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock, Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. All

    4,285,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 4,285,000 shares are issued
    and outstanding, and (B) 4,500,000 shares of preferred stock, of which

          (ii) Except as set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation
    and Series A Convertible Stock Purchase Agreement, no shareholder of the
    Company has preemptive rights to purchase new issuances of the Company's
    capital stock.

     (e)  INSURANCE. The Company has in full force and effect insurance
policies, with extended coverage, insuring the Company and its property and
business against such losses and risks, and in such amounts, as are customary
for corporations engaged in a similar business and similarly situated and as
otherwise may be required pursuant to the terms of any other contract or
agreement.

     (f)  OTHER COMMITMENTS TO REGISTER SECURITIES. Except as set forth in
the Company's Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is not, pursuant to
the terms of any other agreement currently in existence, under any obligation
to register under the 1933 Act any of its presently outstanding securities or
any of its securities which may hereafter be issued.

     (g)  EXEMPT TRANSACTION. Subject to the accuracy of the Warrantholder's
representations in Section 10 hereof, the issuance of the Preferred Stock
upon exercise of this Warrant will constitute a transaction exempt from (i)
the registration requirements of Section 5 of the 1933 Act, in reliance upon
Section 4(2) thereof, and (ii) the qualification requirements of the
applicable state securities laws.

     (h)  COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144. At the written request of the
Warrantholder, who proposes to sell Preferred Stock issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrant in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company shall furnish to the
Warrantholder, within ten days after receipt of such request, a written
statement confirming the Company's compliance with the filing requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth in such Rule, as such
Rule may be amended from time to time.

10.  REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.

     This Warrant Agreement has been entered into by the Company in reliance
upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:

     (a)  INVESTMENT PURPOSE. The right to acquire Preferred Stock or the
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder's rights
contained herein will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the
sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no
present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the
same except pursuant to a registration or exemption.

     (b)  PRIVATE ISSUE. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Preferred
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not registered under the 1933
Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that
the issuance contemplated by this Warrant Agreement will be exempt from the
registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the
Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set
forth in this Section 10.

     (c)  DISPOSITION OF WARRANTHOLDER'S RIGHTS. In no event will the
Warrantholder make a disposition of any of its rights to acquire Preferred
Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights unless and
until (i) it shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and
(ii) if requested by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel (which counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to
the Warrantholder) satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect
that (A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has
been taken, or (B) an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933


                                       - 5 -
<PAGE>

Act is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed
upon the transferability of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or
Preferred Stock issuable on the exercise of such rights do not apply to
transfers from the beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities
to its nominee or from such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall
terminate as to any particular share of Preferred Stock when (1) such
security shall have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and sold
by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or (2) such
security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with Rule
144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been issued to the
Warrantholder at its request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Warrantholder at its
request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by
such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security
is transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the
conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling
specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever
the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided,
the Warrantholder or holder of a share of Preferred Stock then outstanding as
to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from
the Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for
the Warrant or for such shares of Preferred Stock not bearing any restrictive
legend.

     (d)  FINANCIAL RISK. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks
of its investment.

     (e)  RISK OF NO REGISTRATION. The Warrantholder understands that if the
Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act"), or file reports
pursuant to Section 15(d), of the the 1934 Act", or if a registration
statement covering the securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it
desires to sell (i) the rights to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Warrant Agreement, or (ii) the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the
right to purchase, it may be required to hold such securities for an
indefinite period. The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of its
rights of the Warrantholder to purchase Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock
which might be made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be
made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.

     (f)  ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Warrantholder is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of Regulation D,
as presently in effect.

11.  TRANSFERS.

     Subject to the terms and conditions contained in Section 10 hereof, this
Warrant Agreement and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in
part by the Warrantholder and any successor transferee, provided, however, in
no event shall the number of transfers of the rights and interests in all of
the Warrants exceed three (3) transfers. The transfer shall be recorded on
the books of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the "Transfer Notice"), at its
principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and
other governmental charges imposed on such transfer and subject to the
transferee agreeing in writing to be subject to the terms hereof.

Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.

Agreement to be executed by its officers thereunto duly authorized as of the
