THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the Agreement) is made as of August 31, 2004 by and between SuperGen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and MGI PHARMA, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the Purchaser).
Background
A. The Company desires to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company, shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
B. In connection with the sale and purchase of the shares of Common Stock, the Purchaser and the Company have agreed to enter into a license agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the License Agreement).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1
AUTHORIZATION AND AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL SECURITIES
1.1 Sale of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Purchaser at the Closing (as defined below), 4,000,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock (the Shares) at a cash price per share equal to $10.00 (the Per Share Purchase Price) for an aggregate purchase price equal to $40,000,000.
1.2 Authorization. The Company will, prior to the Closing, authorize the sale and issuance of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 2
CLOSING DATE; DELIVERY
2.1 Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place at a closing (the Closing) to be held at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California, at 10:00 a.m. local time, on a date mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement,
which shall be no later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 of this Agreement (the Closing Date).
2.2 Delivery. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser a certificate or certificates, registered in the name of the Purchaser, representing the 4,000,000 Shares against payment of the aggregate purchase price of $40,000,000 (the Aggregate Purchase Price) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company. The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall be subject to legends restricting transfer as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement of even date herewith substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the Rights Agreement).
SECTION 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
Except as disclosed in the Company SEC Filings (as defined in Section 3.4) or as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered to the Purchaser on the date hereof (the Disclosure Schedule), the Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:
3.1 Organization; Standing and Power; Qualification. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of its place of incorporation and is in good standing under such laws. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its property and to carry on its businesses as presently conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the business, assets (including intangible assets), properties, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), financial condition, operations, or results of operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a Material Adverse Effect). The Company has no subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), other than as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule (each, a Subsidiary and, together, the Subsidiaries). Except for the Companys European subsidiary, which is 95% owned by the Company, the Companys remaining subsidiary is wholly-owned by the Company.
3.2 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. As of June 30, 2004, there were 45,243,592 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, an aggregate 6,435,204 shares of Common Stock subject to currently issued and unexercised options under the Companys stock option plans, an aggregate 1,140,508 shares of Common Stock available for future grant under the Companys stock option plans, 7,069,808 shares subject to currently issued and unexercised warrants and no issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2004, an aggregate of 842,685 shares of Common Stock (which is included in the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding set forth above) had been issued upon conversion of
2
the principal amount, and accrued interest thereon, of the Senior Convertible Notes issued by the Company on June 24, 2003. An indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock are scheduled to be issued in 2004 pursuant to the final principal and interest payments under such Senior Convertible Notes. All such issued and outstanding shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws, and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. The Company owns all of the outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary, free and clear of any claim, lien, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance of any kind (collectively Liens) with respect thereto other than (i) any Liens for inchoate mechanics and materialmens liens for construction in progress and workmens, repairmens, warehousemens and carriers Liens arising in the ordinary course of the business, (ii) any Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable, and (iii) Liens created either directly or indirectly by the Purchaser (Permitted Liens). Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, no shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for, any issued or unissued shares of capital stock of or other equity interest in the Company or any Subsidiary. Without limiting the foregoing, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule and notwithstanding any related disclosure in any SEC Filing, no preemptive right, co-sale right, registration right, right of first offer, right of participation, right of first refusal or other similar right exists with respect to the issuance and sale of the Shares, except as provided in the Stock Agreements. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule and notwithstanding any related disclosure in any SEC Filing, there are no shareholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Common Stock to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party. Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule, there are no contracts or commitments by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule and notwithstanding any related disclosure in any SEC Filing, the Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company other than transfer restrictions imposed to satisfy state and federal securities laws.
3.3 Authorization; No Conflicts; Approvals.
3.3.1 The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement, and all corporate action on the part of the Company, its stockholders and its directors necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Company, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares, and the performance of all of the Companys obligations under the Agreement has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing Date. The Agreement and the Rights Agreement (collectively, the Stock Agreements), when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing
3
specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. The Shares, when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any Liens; provided, however, that the Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws and as set forth in this Agreement and the Rights Agreement. The Board of Directors of the Company (the Company Board) has approved and adopted this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, declared the advisability of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and adopted and approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and has not, as of the date hereof, rescinded or modified in any respect any of such actions.
3.3.2 Subject to compliance with the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act), to the extent applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Stock Agreements do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, (i) conflict with, or result in any violation of or breach of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or of any Subsidiary, (ii) result in any violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any material benefit under any license, assignment, bond, debenture, note, mortgage, pledge, deed of trust, loan agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, Lien, indenture, lease, contract, or other agreement or obligation to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company, any Subsidiary or any of the properties or assets of any of the foregoing may be bound, (iii) conflict with or violate any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or any material permit, concession, franchise or license applicable to the Company, any Subsidiary or any of properties or assets of any of the foregoing, except in the case of subclauses (ii) and (iii) for such violations, breaches, defaults, rights of termination, cancellation or acceleration, or losses of benefits which would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4

The Company has timely filed all reports, registration statements, proxy statements and other materials, together with any amendments thereto, required to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) (the SEC Filings). As of their respective dates filed, the SEC Filings do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements contained in the SEC Filings fairly present the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) (in the case of the unaudited statements, all footnotes required by GAAP may not be included and subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the SEC Filings, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities, either accrued or contingent (whether or not required to be reflected in financial statements in accordance with GAAP), and whether due or to become due, other than (i) liabilities reflected or provided for on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2004 (the Company Balance Sheet) set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, (ii) liabilities specifically described in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule, and (iii) normal or recurring liabilities incurred since June 30, 2004 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.5 Compliance. To the knowledge of the Company, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has complied in all material respects with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign statutes, laws and regulations, and is not in violation of, and has not received any notices of violation with respect to, any such statute, law or regulation, with respect to the conduct, ownership or operation of its businesses which, individually or in aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. Nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organization documents, as amended, which violation, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.6 Regulatory Compliance. The Company and all of its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations of the Federal Food and Drug Administration (the FDA), and, to the extent applicable, Foreign Regulatory Authorities, with respect to the clinical testing, manufacture, collection, labeling, storing, testing, or distribution of its Products, including current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP regulations, Good Clinical Practices or cGCP regulations, Good Laboratory Practices or cGLP regulations, and all applicable requirements relating to the protection of human subjects (e.g., Informed Consent, Institutional Review Board) for its clinical trials as required by the FDA and any applicable corresponding requirements of Foreign Regulatory Authorities.

5
requirements set forth at 21 U.S.C. §360 and all similar applicable laws and regulations, except for noncompliance which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in receipt of notice of, and not subject to, any adverse inspection, finding of deficiency, finding of non-compliance, compelled or voluntary recall, investigation, penalty for corrective or remedial action or other compliance or enforcement action, in each case relating to any of its products or to the Companys knowledge, to the facilities in which the products are manufactured, collected or handled, by the FDA or Foreign Regulatory Authorities. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened actions, proceedings or complaints by the FDA or Foreign Regulatory Authorities which would materially prohibit or impede the conduct of the business as it is currently conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary.
To the knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has made any false statements on, or omissions from, the applications, approvals, reports and other submissions to the FDA or Foreign Regulatory Authorities or in or from any other records and documentation prepared or maintained to comply with the requirements of the FDA or Foreign Regulatory Authorities relating to its products that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notification, written or oral, that remains unresolved, from the FDA, Foreign Regulatory Authorities, or other authorities indicating that any of its products are misbranded or adulterated as defined in 21 U.S.C. §321, et seq., as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
No product of the Company or any Subsidiary has been recalled, suspended or discontinued as a result of any action by the FDA or any Foreign Authority, by the Company or any Subsidiary, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any licensee or distributor of any of the Companys products.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary , nor to the knowledge of the Company, any officer, key employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary, has been convicted of any crime or engaged in any conduct that would reasonably be expected to result in debarment under 21 U.S.C.

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, to the Companys knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns or operates any real property contaminated with any substance that is subject to any Environmental Laws, is liable for any off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any Environmental Laws, has failed to obtain any material permits, licenses and authorizations which are required under all applicable health, safety and Environmental Laws, has failed to comply in any material respects with such permits, licenses and authorizations, or is subject to any claim relating to any Environmental Laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim would individually or in aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company is not aware of any pending investigation that might lead to such a claim.

7
before any agency, court or tribunal, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or officers or directors (in their capacities as such), and, to the knowledge of the Company, there is no valid basis for any action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which if determined adversely to the Company or any such Subsidiary, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no judgment, decree or order against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable inquiry, any of its respective directors or officers (in their capacities as such) that would prevent, enjoin, or materially alter or delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.1 Organization. The Purchaser is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into the Stock Agreements and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
4.2 Authority.
4.2.1 The execution and delivery of the Stock Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been authorized by all necessary company action on behalf of the Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors rights generally, and general principles of equity.
4.2.2 Subject to compliance with the HSR Act, to the extent applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any governmental entity is required by or with respect to the Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except that the filing of one (1) or more notification and report
9
forms under the HSR Act may be required with respect to the acquisition by the Purchaser of the Shares, and except for (i) such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may be required under applicable federal and state securities laws and the laws of any foreign country, and (ii) such other consents, authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or made, would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.
4.3 Exempt Offering; Acquisition for Investment.
4.3.1 The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for the Purchasers or its designated affiliates own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Shares the Purchaser is acquiring is being purchased for, and will be held for the account of, the Purchaser or its designated affiliate only and neither in whole nor in part for any other person. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or other securities laws in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchasers investment intent as expressed herein.

4.3.3 The Shares were not offered to the Purchaser through, and the Purchaser is not aware of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
4.3.4 The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

The Purchaser understands that the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend that sets forth the restrictions on transfer. The Purchaser understands that
10
the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Shares sold hereunder except as provided in the Rights Agreement.

The Purchaser is further aware that Rule 144(k) permits persons who have not been affiliates of the Company for at least three months and whose shares have been beneficially owned by a person other than the Company or its affiliates for at least two years after full payment for such shares to sell such shares without regard to the current public information, manner of sale and volume limitations described above.
4.3.7 The Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisers the federal, state, and local tax consequences of the purchase of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement and has relied solely on such advisers and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents other than the representations and warranties set forth herein with respect to the purchase of the Shares. The Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Purchaser is not relying on any oral representation of the Company or any other person, nor any written representation or assurance from the Company other than those contained in the SEC Filings or incorporated herein or therein.

4.5 Brokers or Finders. The Company shall have no liability or obligation of any kind to any agent, broker, investment banker, financial adviser or other firm or person engaged or retained by the Purchaser who is or will be entitled to any brokers or finders fee, or any other commission or similar fee, in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Agreements, and the Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and its Subsidiaries harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities or obligations with respect to any such fees or commissions asserted by any person engaged or retained by on the basis of any act or statement determined to have been made to such person by the Purchaser.
