                             ADVANCED MEDICINE, INC.
                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

SECTION 1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.

         The Plan was adopted by the Board on February 26, 2000 to be effective
as of the date of the IPO. The purpose of the Plan is to provide Eligible
Employees with an opportunity to increase their proprietary interest in the
success of the Corporation by purchasing Stock from the Corporation on favorable
terms and to pay for such purchases through payroll deductions. The Plan is
intended to qualify under section 423 of the Code.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

         (a) COMMITTEE COMPOSITION. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. The Committee shall consist exclusively of one or more directors of
the Corporation, who shall be appointed by the Board.

         (b) COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES. The Committee shall interpret the Plan
and make all other policy decisions relating to the operation of the Plan. The
Committee may adopt such rules, guidelines and forms as it deems appropriate to
implement the Plan. The Committee's determinations under the Plan shall be final
and binding on all persons.

SECTION 3. ENROLLMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

         (a) OFFERING PERIODS. While the Plan is in effect, four overlapping
Offering Periods shall commence in each calendar year. The Offering Periods
shall consist of the 27-month periods commencing on each February 1, May 1,
August 1, and November 1 except that the first Offering Period shall commence on
the date of the IPO and end on July 31, 2002.

         (b) ACCUMULATION PERIODS. While the Plan is in effect, four
Accumulation Periods shall commence in each calendar year. The Accumulation
Periods shall consist of the three-month periods commencing on each February 1,
May 1, August 1 and November 1, except that the first Accumulation Period shall
commence on the date of the IPO and end on October 31, 2000.

         (c) ENROLLMENT. Any individual who, on the day preceding the first day
of an Offering Period, qualifies as an Eligible Employee may elect to become a
Participant in the Plan for such Offering Period by executing the enrollment
form prescribed for this purpose by the Committee. The enrollment form shall be
filed with the Corporation at the prescribed location on or before the start
date of such Offering Period.

         (d) DURATION OF PARTICIPATION. Once enrolled in the Plan, a Participant
shall continue to participate in the Plan until he or she ceases to be an
Eligible Employee, withdraws from the Plan under Section 5(a) or reaches the end
of the Accumulation Period in which his or

<PAGE>

her employee contributions were discontinued under Section 4(d) or 8(b). A
Participant who discontinued employee contributions under Section 4(d) or
withdrew from the Plan under Section 5(a) may again become a Participant, if
he or she then is an Eligible Employee, by following the procedure described
in Subsection (c) above. A Participant whose employee contributions were
discontinued automatically under Section 8(b) shall automatically resume
participation at the beginning of the earliest Accumulation Period ending in
the next calendar year, if he or she then is an Eligible Employee.

         (e) APPLICABLE OFFERING PERIOD. For purposes of calculating the
Purchase Price under Section 7(b), the applicable Offering Period shall be
determined as follows:

                  (i) Once a Participant is enrolled in the Plan for an Offering
Period, such Offering Period shall continue to apply to him or her until the
earliest of (A) the end of such Offering Period, (B) the end of his or her
participation under Subsection (d) above or (C) re-enrollment for a subsequent
Offering Period under Paragraph (ii) or (iii) below.

                  (ii) In the event that the Fair Market Value of Stock on the
last trading day before the commencement of the Offering Period for which the
Participant is enrolled is higher than on the last trading day before the
commencement of any subsequent Offering Period, the Participant shall
automatically be re-enrolled for such subsequent Offering Period.

                  (iii) Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the
Corporation (at its sole discretion) may determine prior to the commencement of
any new Offering Period that all Participants shall be re-enrolled for such new
Offering Period.

                  (iv) When a Participant reaches the end of an Offering Period
but his or her participation is to continue, then such Participant shall
automatically be re-enrolled for the Offering Period that commences immediately
after the end of the prior Offering Period.

SECTION 4. EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS.

         (a) FREQUENCY OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. A Participant may purchase shares
of Stock under the Plan solely by means of payroll deductions. Payroll
deductions, as designated by the Participant pursuant to Subsection (b) below,
shall occur on each payday during participation in the Plan.

         (b) AMOUNT OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. An Eligible Employee shall designate
on the enrollment form the portion of his or her Compensation that he or she
elects to have withheld for the purchase of Stock. Such portion shall be a whole
percentage of the Eligible Employee's Compensation, but not less than 1% nor
more than 15%.

         (c) CHANGING WITHHOLDING RATE. If a Participant wishes to change the
rate of payroll withholding, he or she may do so by filing a new enrollment form
with the Corporation at the prescribed location at any time. The new withholding
rate shall be effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such form has
been received by the Corporation. The new withholding rate shall be a whole
percentage of the Eligible Employee's Compensation, but not less than 1% nor
more than 15%.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         (d) DISCONTINUING PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. If a Participant wishes to
discontinue employee contributions entirely, he or she may do so by filing a new
enrollment form with the Corporation at the prescribed location at any time.
Payroll withholding shall cease as soon as reasonably practicable after such
form has been received by the Corporation. (In addition, employee contributions
may be discontinued automatically pursuant to Section 8(b).) A Participant who
has discontinued employee contributions may resume such contributions by filing
a new enrollment form with the Corporation at the prescribed location. Payroll
withholding shall resume as soon as reasonably practicable after such form has
been received by the Corporation.

         (e) LIMIT ON NUMBER OF ELECTIONS. No Participant shall make more than 2
elections under Subsection (c) or (d) above during any Accumulation Period.

SECTION 5. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN.

         (a) WITHDRAWAL. A Participant may elect to withdraw from the Plan by
filing the prescribed form with the Corporation at the prescribed location at
any time before the last day of an Accumulation Period. As soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter, payroll deductions shall cease and the entire amount
credited to the Participant's Plan Account shall be refunded to him or her in
cash, without interest. No partial withdrawals shall be permitted.

         (b) RE-ENROLLMENT AFTER WITHDRAWAL. A former Participant who has
withdrawn from the Plan shall not be a Participant until he or she re-enrolls in
the Plan under Section 3(c). Re-enrollment may be effective only at the
commencement of an Offering Period.

SECTION 6. CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT STATUS.

         (a) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Termination of employment as an Eligible
Employee for any reason, including death, shall be treated as an automatic
withdrawal from the Plan under Section 5(a). (A transfer from one Participating
Corporation to another shall not be treated as a termination of employment.)

         (b) LEAVE OF ABSENCE. For purposes of the Plan, employment shall not be
deemed to terminate when the Participant goes on a military leave, a sick leave
or another BONA FIDE leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the
Corporation in writing. Employment, however, shall be deemed to terminate 90
days after the Participant goes on a leave, unless a contract or statute
guarantees his or her right to return to work. Employment shall be deemed to
terminate in any event when the approved leave ends, unless the Participant
immediately returns to work.

         (c) DEATH. In the event of the Participant's death, the amount credited
to his or her Plan Account shall be paid to a beneficiary designated by him or
her for this purpose on the prescribed form or, if none, to the Participant's
estate. Such form shall be valid only if it was filed with the Corporation at
the prescribed location before the Participant's death.

                                       3

SECTION 7. PLAN ACCOUNTS AND PURCHASE OF SHARES.

         (a) PLAN ACCOUNTS. The Corporation shall maintain a Plan Account on its
books in the name of each Participant. Whenever an amount is deducted from the
Participant's Compensation under the Plan, such amount shall be credited to the
Participant's Plan Account. Amounts credited to Plan Accounts shall not be trust
funds and may be commingled with the Corporation's general assets and applied to
general corporate purposes. No interest shall be credited to Plan Accounts.

         (b) PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price for each share of Stock
purchased at the close of an Accumulation Period shall be the lower of:

                  (i) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last
trading day in such Accumulation Period; or

                  (ii) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last
trading day before the commencement of the applicable Offering Period (as
determined under Section 3(e)) or, in the case of the first Offering Period
under the Plan, the lower of: (A) 85% of the price at which one share of Stock
is offered to the public in the IPO; or (B) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such
share on the purchase date.

         (c) NUMBER OF SHARES PURCHASED. As of the last day of each Accumulation
Period, each Participant shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the number
of shares of Stock calculated in accordance with this Subsection (c), unless the
Participant has previously elected to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with
Section 5(a). The amount then in the Participant's Plan Account shall be divided
by the Purchase Price, and the number of shares that results shall be purchased
from the Corporation with the funds in the Participant's Plan Account. The
foregoing notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase more than 2,500 shares
of Stock with respect to any Accumulation Period or more than the amounts of
Stock set forth in Sections 8(b) and 13(a). The Committee may determine with
respect to all Participants that any fractional share, as calculated under this
Subsection (c), shall be (i) rounded down to the next lower whole share or (ii)
credited as a fractional share.

         (d) AVAILABLE SHARES INSUFFICIENT. In the event that the aggregate
number of shares that all Participants elect to purchase during an Accumulation
Period exceeds the maximum number of shares remaining available for issuance
under Section 13(a), then the number of shares to which each Participant is
entitled shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares available for
issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares that such
Participant has elected to purchase and the denominator of which is the number
of shares that all Participants have elected to purchase.

         (e) ISSUANCE OF STOCK. Certificates representing the shares of Stock
purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be issued to him or her as soon
as reasonably practicable after the close of the applicable Accumulation Period,
except that the Committee may determine that such shares shall be held for each
Participant's benefit by a broker designated by the Committee (unless the
Participant has elected that certificates be issued to him or her). Shares may
be

                                       4
<PAGE>

registered in the name of the Participant or jointly in the name of the
Participant and his or her spouse as joint tenants with right of survivorship
or as community property.

         (f) UNUSED CASH BALANCES. An amount remaining in the Participant's Plan
Account that represents the Purchase Price for any fractional share shall be
carried over in the Participant's Plan Account to the next Accumulation Period.
Any amount remaining in the Participant's Plan Account that represents the
Purchase Price for whole shares that could not be purchased by reason of
Subsection (c) above, Section 8(b) or Section 13(a) shall be refunded to the
Participant in cash, without interest.

         (g) STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, no shares of Stock shall be purchased under the Plan unless and
until the Corporation's stockholders have approved the adoption of the Plan.

SECTION 8. LIMITATIONS ON STOCK OWNERSHIP.

         (a) FIVE PERCENT LIMIT. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, no Participant shall be granted a right to purchase Stock under
the Plan if such Participant, immediately after his or her election to purchase
such Stock, would own stock possessing more than 5% of the total combined voting
power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any parent or
Subsidiary of the Corporation. For purposes of this Subsection (a), the
following rules shall apply:

                  (i) Ownership of stock shall be determined after applying the
attribution rules of section 424(d) of the Code;

                  (ii) Each Participant shall be deemed to own any stock that he
or she has a right or option to purchase under this or any other plan; and

                  (iii) Each Participant shall be deemed to have the right to
purchase 2,500 shares of Stock under this Plan with respect to each Accumulation
Period.

         (b) DOLLAR LIMIT. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no
Participant shall purchase Stock with a Fair Market Value in excess of the
following limit:

                  (i) In the case of Stock purchased during an Offering Period
that commenced in the current calendar year, the limit shall be equal to (A)
$25,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock that the Participant
previously purchased in the current calendar year (under this Plan and all other
employee stock purchase plans of the Corporation or any parent or Subsidiary of
the Corporation).

                  (ii) In the case of Stock purchased during an Offering Period
that commenced in the immediately preceding calendar year, the limit shall be
equal to (A) $50,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock that the
Participant previously purchased (under this Plan and all other employee stock
purchase plans of the Corporation or any parent or Subsidiary of the
Corporation) in the current calendar year and in the immediately preceding
calendar year.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (iii) In the case of Stock purchased during an Offering Period
that commenced in the second preceding calendar year, the limit shall be equal
to (A) $75,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock that the Participant
previously purchased (under this Plan and all other employee stock purchase
plans of the Corporation or any parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation) in the
current calendar year and in the two preceding calendar years.

         For purposes of this Subsection (b), the Fair Market Value of Stock
shall be determined in each case as of the beginning of the Offering Period in
which such Stock is purchased. Employee stock purchase plans not described in
section 423 of the Code shall be disregarded. If a Participant is precluded by
this Subsection (b) from purchasing additional Stock under the Plan, then his or
her employee contributions shall automatically be discontinued and shall resume
at the beginning of the earliest Accumulation Period ending in the next calendar
year (if he or she then is an Eligible Employee).

SECTION 9. RIGHTS NOT TRANSFERABLE.

         The rights of any Participant under the Plan, or any Participant's
interest in any Stock or moneys to which he or she may be entitled under the
Plan, shall not be transferable by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by
operation of law, or in any other manner other than by beneficiary designation
or the laws of descent and distribution. If a Participant in any manner attempts
to transfer, assign or otherwise encumber his or her rights or interest under
the Plan, other than by beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and
distribution, then such act shall be treated as an election by the Participant
to withdraw from the Plan under Section 5(a).

SECTION 10. NO RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE.

         Nothing in the Plan or in any right granted under the Plan shall confer
upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of a Participating
Corporation for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise
restrict in any way the rights of the Participating Companies or of the
Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate
his or her employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

SECTION 11. NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.

         A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any
shares of Stock that he or she may have a right to purchase under the Plan until
such shares have been purchased on the last day of the applicable Accumulation
Period.

SECTION 12. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.

         Shares of Stock shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance
and delivery of such shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable
requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities
laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other
securities market on which the Corporation's securities may then be traded.
The issuance of Stock under this Plan may be conditioned on the Participant's
agreement to be bound by an agreement between the Company and its
underwriters prohibiting resale of the shares of Stock.

                                       6
<PAGE>

SECTION 13. STOCK OFFERED UNDER THE PLAN.

         (a) AUTHORIZED SHARES. The number of shares of Stock available for
purchase under the Plan shall be 750,000 (subject to adjustment pursuant to this
Section 13). On January 1 of each year, commencing with January 1, 2001, the
aggregate number of shares of Stock available for purchase during the life of
the Plan shall automatically be increased by the lesser of 0.5% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, or 500,000 shares (subject to
adjustment pursuant to this Section 13).

         (b) ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS. The aggregate number of shares of Stock
offered under the Plan, the 2,500 share limitation described in Section 7(c),
the 750,000-share limitation described in Section 13(a), the 500,000 share
limitation on annual increases, and the price of shares that any Participant has
elected to purchase shall be adjusted proportionately by the Committee for any
increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Stock resulting from
a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, any
other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt or payment of
consideration by the Corporation, the distribution of the shares of a Subsidiary
to the Corporation's stockholders or a similar event.

         (c) REORGANIZATIONS. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding,
immediately prior to the effective time of a Corporate Reorganization, the
Offering Period(s) and Accumulation Period(s) then in progress shall terminate
and shares shall be purchased pursuant to Section 7, unless the Plan is
continued or assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent corporation. The
Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any way the Corporation's
right to undertake a dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or other
reorganization.

SECTION 14. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE.

         The Board shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan
at any time and without notice. The Corporation's Chief Executive Officer may
also amend the Plan to the extent allowable under applicable law to effect
non-material amendments. Except as provided in Section 13, any increase in the
aggregate number of shares of Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be subject
to approval by a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In addition, any
other amendment of the Plan shall be subject to approval by a vote of the
stockholders of the Corporation to the extent required by an applicable law or
regulation.
