THIS SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 13^th day of November, 2001, by and between Xcyte Therapies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, located at 1124 Columbia Street, Suite 130, Seattle, WA 98104 (the “Company”), and the investors listed on Exhibit A hereto, each of which is herein referred to as an “Investor.”

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell up to 4,750,362 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and to issue warrants to purchase 2,586,308 shares of Common Stock to the Investors; and

 

WHEREAS, the Investors desire to purchase such shares and warrants from the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase and Sale of Stock.

 

1.1 Authorization, Sale and Issuance of Shares

 

(a) The Company has authorized the sale and issuance of up to 6,500,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Shares”) and the issuance of warrants to purchase 2,586,308 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and together with the Series E Shares the “Shares”). The Series E Shares have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as set forth in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form satisfactory to the Investors, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Shares is referred to hereinafter as the “Conversion Shares” and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is referred to hereinafter as the “Warrant Shares.”

 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall sell and issue to each Investor, and each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, that number of (i) Shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $2.78 per share and (ii) Warrants at a cash purchase price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock set forth opposite each Investor’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto. Each Investor understands that the Shares and the Warrants cannot be purchased separately and must be purchased in the proportion allocated on Exhibit A.

 

1.2 Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place at the offices of Venture Law Group, 4750 Carillon Point, Kirkland, Washington, at 10:00 a.m., on November 13, 2001, or at such other time and place as the Company and Investors may agree (which time

---

and place are designated as the “Closing”). The date of such Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

 

1.3 Delivery. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a certificate representing the Shares which such Investor is purchasing against delivery to the Company by such Investor of a check, wire transfer of immediately available funds payable to the Company’s order or cancellation of indebtedness (or any combination thereof) in the aggregate amount of the purchase price therefor.

 

1.4 Additional Closings. If the full number of Series E Shares of the Company is not sold at the Closing, the Company shall have the right, at any time within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing Date (the “Subsequent Closing Date”), to sell the remaining authorized but unissued shares of Series E Shares and Warrants to purchase Common Stock to one or more additional purchasers as determined by the Company, or to any Investor hereunder who wishes to acquire additional shares of Series E Shares and Warrants to purchase Common Stock at the price and on the terms set forth herein, provided that any such additional purchaser shall be required to execute counterpart signature pages to this Agreement, the Investors’ Rights Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement (each as defined in Section 2.2), and such additional purchasers will, upon delivery to the Company of such signature pages and the purchase price, become parties to, and be bound by, such agreements, each to the same extent as if they had been Investors at the initial Closing. Immediately after each additional closing, Exhibit A to this Agreement will be amended to list the additional purchasers purchasing shares of Series E Shares and Warrants to purchase Common Stock hereunder at each such additional closing. Any additional purchaser so acquiring shares of Series E Shares and Warrants to purchase Common Stock shall be considered an “Investor” for the purposes of the Financing Documents (as defined below), and any Series E Shares so acquired by such additional purchaser shall be considered “Series E Shares” and any Warrants to purchase Common Stock so acquired by such additional purchaser shall be considered “Warrants,” and together with the Series E Shares the “Shares”) for purposes of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby.

 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Investor that, except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions attached hereto as Exhibit C, which exceptions shall be deemed to be representations and warranties as if made hereunder:

Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business as proposed, will, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Rights Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such material violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company.

2.15 Labor Agreements and Actions. The Company is not bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the knowledge of the Company, has sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of the Company.

The Company has fully provided each Investor with all the information which such Investor has requested for deciding whether to purchase the Shares and all information which the Company believes is reasonably necessary to enable such Investor to make such decision. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, neither this Agreement, the Rights Agreement, the Co-Sale Agreement nor any other statements or certificates made or delivered in connection herewith, when taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.

9

---

3.1 Authorization. This Agreement when executed and delivered by such Investor shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar federal or state laws affecting the rights of creditors and the effect of rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with each Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s representations and warranties to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares to be received by such Investor, the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, each Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. Each Investor represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

 

3.3 Disclosure of Information. Each Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. Each Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions, if any, and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon.

 

3.4 Investment Experience. Each Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, and bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. If other than an individual, Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

 

3.5 Regulation D. Each Investor is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

3.6 Restricted Securities. Each Investor understands that the Shares it is purchasing (and the Conversion Shares) are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, each Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

OF FOREIGN INVESTORS

 

China Development Industrial Bank Inc., CDIB Biotech USA Investment, Co., Ltd. and CDIB Biotech, Inc. (each a “Foreign Investor”), in addition to the other representations and warranties it has made in this Agreement, each further represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

It is familiar with Regulation S under the Securities Act and is not a “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in Regulation S and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, and it agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until (A) such disposition is in accordance with Regulation S, and (B) (1) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement, or (2) the Foreign Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if requested by the Company, the Foreign Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act.

 

The acquisition by the Foreign Investor of the Shares shall constitute a confirmation of the representations and warranties made by the Foreign Investor as of the Closing. The Foreign Investor further represents that it understands and agrees that, until registered under the Securities Act or properly transferred pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 as promulgated by the SEC, all certificates evidencing any of the Shares, whether upon initial issuance or upon any transfer thereof, shall bear a legend (in addition to any legend required pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement), prominently stamped or printed thereon, reading substantially as stated in Section 3.7(b).
