Contract"), nor is Purchaser aware of any event that would constitute such

(f) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation

has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and is a valid and
binding obligation of the Purchaser.

lapse of time or delay or both, will conflict with or result in:
(i) a violation, contravention or breach by the Purchaser of any of
the terms, conditions or provisions of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws or resolutions of the Purchaser or of any agreement
or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound or
constitute a default of the Purchaser thereunder, or of any statute,
regulation, judgment, decree or law by which the Purchaser or the assets of
the Purchaser are subject or bound, or result in the creation or imposition

currently outstanding. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Board of
Directors has approved the grant of options to purchase a total of
2,304,120 shares of Common Stock to outside consultants, directors and

Glyko Biomedical Ltd. and the Purchaser dated June 27, 1997, the
pre-emptive rights agreement between BB BioVentures L.P. and the Purchaser
dated December 30, 1997, and the pre-emptive rights agreement between
Genzyme Corporation and the Purchaser dated September 4, 1998) presently
outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any capital stock or other
securities of the Company;
(j) To the knowledge of the Purchaser, there is not pending,
threatened or contemplated, any suit, action, legal proceeding, litigation
or governmental investigation of any sort relating to the Purchaser or the
BioMarin Shares, nor is there any present state of facts or circumstances
which can be reasonably anticipated to be a basis for any such suit,
action, legal proceeding, litigation or governmental investigation nor is
there presently outstanding against the Purchaser, any judgment, decree,
injunction, rule or order of any court, governmental department,
commission, agency, instrumentality, or arbitrator, to which the Purchaser
is a party or to which the property of the Purchaser is subject that would
result individually or in the aggregate in any material adverse change in
the operation, business, condition, income or future prospects of the
Purchaser.
(k) No order ceasing or suspending trading in securities of the
Purchaser or prohibiting the sale of securities by the Purchaser has been
issued and no proceedings for this purpose have been instituted, or are
pending, or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, are contemplated or
threatened.
(l) Neither the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Purchaser nor any agreement, mortgage, note, debenture, indenture or other
instrument or document to which the Purchaser is a party, contain any
restriction upon or impediment to the declaration or payment of dividends
by the directors of the Purchaser or the payment of dividends by the
Purchaser to the holders of the BioMarin Shares.
18
(m) Upon execution of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement, attached hereto as Schedule "E," Vendor shall have registration
rights with regard to the BioMarin Shares, as enumerated therein.
(n) The Purchaser has not entered into any agreement that would
entitle any person to any valid claim against the Vendor for a broker's
commission, finder's fee, or any like payment in respect of the purchase of
the Glyko Shares or the sale of the BioMarin Shares or any other matters
contemplated by this Agreement.
(o) Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the purchase of the Glyko Shares pursuant to this Agreement and of
protecting the Purchaser's interests in connection herewith. Purchaser has
the ability to bear the economic risk of the investment, including complete
loss of the investment.
(p) Purchaser is acquiring the Glyko Shares for investment for its own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale
in connection with, any distribution thereof, and Purchaser has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. Purchaser understands that the Glyko Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") but have been issued pursuant to a specific exemption
from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon,
among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the
accuracy of Purchaser 's representations as expressed herein.
(q) Purchaser understands that the Glyko Shares are characterized as
"restricted securities" under U.S. federal securities laws and that under
such laws and applicable regulations the Glyko Shares may be resold without
registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances. Purchaser acknowledges that the Glyko Shares must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permits
limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions.
(r) Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the
Common Stock of Glyko, Inc. or for any other securities issued by Glyko,
Inc. and that there is no assurance that a public market will ever exist
for the Glyko Shares.
(s) Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above,
Purchaser further agrees not to make any offer or sale of all or any
portion of the Glyko Shares within the United States or to a U.S. resident
unless and until;
(i) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed offer or sale and such offer or sale
is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or
19
(ii) Purchaser shall have notified Glyko, Inc. of the proposed offer
or sale and shall have furnished Glyko, Inc. with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably
requested by the Glyko, Inc., Purchaser shall have furnished Glyko, Inc.
with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Glyko, Inc., that
such offer or sale is exempt from the registration requirements under the
Securities Act.
(t) Purchaser presently does and will as of the Closing Date qualify
as an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated
under the Securities Act and meets the relevant criteria indicated on its
completed and signed copy of the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached
hereto as Schedule "F".
(u) None of the foregoing representations and warranties knowingly
contains any untrue statement of material fact or knowingly omits to state
any material fact necessary to make any such representation or warranty not
misleading to a prospective purchaser of the BioMarin Shares seeking full
information as to the BioMarin Shares.
