Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (a) that certain Underwriting Agreement being entered into by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) with the representatives of the underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”) concurrently with this Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) providing for the issuance by the Company to the Underwriters (the “Public Offering”) of 16,843,600 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), plus up to 2,526,540 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) that may be issued pursuant to the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock provided for in Section 2(b) of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Option”), for sale in a public offering at a price to the public of $2.50 per share (the “Purchase Price”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Invus US Partners LLC (the “Investor”) shall purchase, subject to the terms and conditions herein, (i) 982,600 shares of Common Stock (the “Firm Investor Shares”) and (ii) in the event that the Underwriters exercise the Option, up to 147,390 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Investor Shares”).

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in Section V, the Investor hereby agrees to purchase the Firm Investor Shares from the Company at the Purchase Price. The total purchase price for the Firm Investor Shares shall be equal to $2,456,500.

The closing of the sale of the Firm Investor Shares shall take place concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Firm Shares under the Underwriting Agreement (the “Firm Closing Date”), (i) with payment for the Firm Investor Shares to be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Firm Closing Date and (ii) with delivery of the Firm Investor Shares registered, as applicable, in the name of the Investor or its designees and otherwise free and clear of all liens, with any transfer or stamp taxes duly paid by the Company.

In the event that the Underwriters exercise the Option, the Investor shall have the option to purchase, at the Purchase Price, a number of Option Investor Shares from the Company, determined by multiplying 147,390 by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Option Shares as to which the Underwriters exercise the Option and the denominator of which shall be the maximum number of Option Shares subject to the Option, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

The closing of the sale of the Option Investor Shares purchased pursuant to this Section II shall take place concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Option Shares, as to which the Underwriters exercise the Option (the “Option Closing Date”), (i) with payment for the Option Investor Shares to be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Option Closing Date and (ii) with delivery of the Option Investor Shares registered, as applicable, in the name of the Investor or its designees and otherwise free and clear of all liens, with any transfer or stamp taxes duly paid by the Company.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to and agrees with the Investor to all the same representations and warranties contained in Section 1 and the covenants contained in Section 5 of the Underwriting Agreement mutatis mutandis to the same extent as if such representations and warranties and covenants were set forth herein for the benefit of the Investor instead of the underwriters party to the Underwriting Agreement (except that references to the Underwriting Agreement therein shall be references to this Agreement and references to the Underwritten Securities and Option Securities thereunder shall be references to the Firm Investor Shares and Option Investor Shares, respectively).

The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that it (i) is acquiring the securities to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement (the “Purchased Securities”) for its own account solely for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of such Purchased Securities or any interest therein and (ii) has been provided an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the purchase of the Purchased Securities contemplated hereby.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid the reasonable fees and expenses of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, counsel to the Investor, relating to the Public Offering and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within 15 days of the submission of any invoice with respect thereto.
