(a) This Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Financing Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in force until all amounts payable under the Financing Documents shall have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time any Disbursement was made hereunder.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.7 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Section 6.11 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 6.10 Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement, or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

Section 6.11 Indemnity.

(a) The Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each other harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the cost of defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses which may be incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Person arising out of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding, relating to the Financing Documents (each, a “Loss”) the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the use or intended use of the Loan, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject. The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Loss, and over the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, and such other Indemnified Person that had an adequate opportunity to defend its interests, determines that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person, which determination results in a final, non-appealable judgment or decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Party under any Financing Document to pay any amount to the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement.

(b) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any of the Parties hereunder, the agreements and the obligations of the Parties contained in this Section 6.11 shall survive the termination of each other provision hereof and the payment of all amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder.

Section 6.12 No Usury. The Financing Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.

Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to time, the Borrower shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents as may be necessary or as requested by the Lenders to carry out the purposes of any Financing Document or any or to preserve and protect the Lenders’ rights as contemplated therein.

Section 6.14 Termination. The Borrower may by written notice to the Lenders terminate the Agreement upon repayment of all outstanding principal of the Loan (together with any other amounts accrued and unpaid under this Agreement), whereupon the Borrower’s Obligations shall terminate subject to the provisions of Section 6.9(b).

FORM OF NOTE

PROMISSORY NOTE

June 4, 2008

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, EXELIXIS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), by means of this Promissory Note (this “Note”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Deerfield Private Design International, L.P. (the “Payee”), a principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) $74,000,000 and (b) the aggregate amount of Disbursements allocated to the Payee pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Facility Agreement (as defined below), as such principal amount is increased pursuant to the Facility Agreement, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the dates provided in the Facility Agreement.

This Note is a “Note” referred to in the Facility Agreement dated as of June 4, 2008 among the Maker, the Payee and the other parties thereto (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”), with respect to the Loan made by the Payee thereunder. Capitalized terms used herein and not expressly defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Facility Agreement.

This Note shall bear interest on the principal amount hereof, as such principal amount may be increased or decreased, at the rates and pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Facility Agreement.

The Maker shall make all payments to the Payee of interest and principal under this Note in the manner provided in and otherwise in accordance with the Facility Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable in full on the Final Payment Date.

If default is made in the punctual payment of principal or any other amount under this Note in accordance with the Facility Agreement, or if any other Event of Default has occurred, this Note shall, at the Payee’s option exercised at any time upon or after the occurrence of any such payment default or other Event of Default and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Facility Agreement, become immediately due and payable.

All payments of any kind due to the Payee from the Maker pursuant to this Note shall be made in the full face amount thereof. All such payments will be free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes. The Maker shall pay all and any costs (administrative or otherwise) imposed by banks, clearing houses, or any other financial institution, in connection with making any payments hereunder, except for any costs imposed by the Payee’s banking institutions.

The Maker shall pay all costs of collection, including, without limitation, all reasonable, documented legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by the Payee in collecting and enforcing this Note.

The Maker and every endorser of this Note, or the obligations represented hereby, expressly waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor or default, and notice of any kind with respect to this Note and the Facility Agreement or the performance of the obligations under this Note and/or the Facility Agreement. No renewal or extension of this Note or the Facility Agreement, no release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or the Facility Agreement, including the Maker and any endorser, no delay in the enforcement of payment of this Note or the Facility Agreement, and no delay or omission in exercising any right or power under this Note or the Facility Agreement shall affect the liability of the Maker or any endorser of this Note.

No delay or omission by the Payee in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude the full exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The provisions of this Note may be waived or amended only in a writing signed by the Maker and the Payee. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, including in shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Facility Agreement.

THIS NOTE, AND ANY RIGHTS OF THE PAYEE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE, MAY, AT THE OPTION OF THE PAYEE, BE ENFORCED BY THE PAYEE IN THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN ANY OTHER COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION. FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PAYEE, THE MAKER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND HEREBY CONSENTS THAT PERSONAL SERVICE OF SUMMONS OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS MAY BE MADE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.4 OF THE FACILITY AGREEMENT, WHICH SERVICE THE MAKER AGREES SHALL BE SUFFICIENT AND VALID. THE MAKER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS NOTE.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York.

because this Note is an obligation which is in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 871(h)(2)(B) and 881(c)(2)(B) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (y) as such, all interest accrued and paid on this Note will be exempt from United States information reporting under Sections 6041 and 6049 of the Code and United States backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code. The Maker and the Payee shall cooperate with one another, and execute and file such forms or other documents, or do or refrain from doing such other acts, as may be required, to secure such exemptions from United States withholding tax, information reporting, and backup withholding. In furtherance of the foregoing, any transferee or assignee noteholder that is not a United States person shall represent, warrant and covenant to the Maker that (i) such noteholder is not, and will not be as long as any amounts due under this Note have not been paid in full, a “United States person,” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code; (ii) such noteholder is not, and will not be as long as any amounts due under this Note have not been paid in full, a person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code; (iii) on or prior to the date of transfer or assignment (and on or prior to the date the form provided pursuant to this clause (iii) is no longer valid) until all amounts due under this Note have been paid in full, such noteholder shall provide the Maker with a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding (or any successor form prescribed by the IRS), certifying as to such noteholder’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding tax, information reporting and backup withholding with respect to all payments to be made to such noteholder hereunder; (iv) if an event occurs that would require a change in the exempt status of such noteholder or any of the other information provided on the most recent IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) previously submitted by such noteholder to the Maker, such noteholder will so inform the Maker in writing (or by submitting to the Maker a new IRS Form W-8BEN or successor form) within 30 days after the occurrence of such event; and (v) such noteholder will not assign or otherwise transfer this Note or any of its rights hereunder except in accordance with the provisions hereof.

In order to qualify as a “registered note” for purposes of the Code, transfer of this Note may be effected only by (i) surrender of this Note to the Maker and the re-issuance of this Note to the transferee, or the Maker’s issuance to the Payee of a new note in the same form as this Note but with the transferee denoted as the Payee, or (ii) the recording of the identity of the transferee by the Affiliate of the Payee that is maintaining a record ownership register of this Note as agent to, and on behalf of, the Maker. Such Affiliate in its capacity as such agent shall notify the Maker in writing immediately upon any change in such identity. The terms and conditions of this Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Maker and the Payee and their permitted assigns; provided, however, that if any such assignment (whether by operation of law, by way of transfer or participation, or otherwise) is to any noteholder that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then such noteholder shall submit to the Maker on or before the date of such assignment an IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) certifying as to such noteholder’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding tax, information reporting and backup withholding with respect to all payments to be made to such noteholder under the new note (or other instrument). Any attempted transfer in violation of the relevant provisions of this Note shall be void and of no force and effect. Until there has been a valid transfer of this Note and of all of the rights hereunder by the Payee in accordance with this Note, the Maker shall deem and treat the Payee as the absolute beneficial owner and holder of this Note and of all of the rights hereunder for all purposes (including, without limitation, for the purpose of receiving all payments to be made under this Note).

It is the intention of the Maker and the Payee that this Note is to be a registered instrument and not a bearer instrument and the provisions of this Note are to be interpreted accordingly. This Note is intended to be registered as to both principal and interest and all payments hereunder shall be made to the named Payee or, in the event of a transfer pursuant to the Facility Agreement and this Note, to the transferee identified in the record of ownership of this Note maintained by the Payee on behalf of the Maker. Transfer of this Note may not be effected except in accordance with the provisions hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, an authorized representative of the Maker has executed this Note as of the date first written above.
