Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMCB and, together with Barclays, the Commitment Parties or we or us) that Seattle Genetics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Borrower or you), seeks financing to consummate the Transactions (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meanings assigned to them in Annex A hereto and the Term Sheet referred to below). This letter, including the Term Sheet, the Transaction Description attached hereto as Annex A and the Conditions Annex attached hereto as Annex C (the Conditions Annex), is hereinafter referred to as the Commitment Letter.

Upon the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in the Conditions Annex, each of Barclays and JPMCB (in such capacities, the Initial Lenders) is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide to the Borrower, on a several and not joint basis, 50% and 50%, respectively, of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility (the Commitment).
2. Titles and Roles. Barclays and JPMCB, in each case acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it, will act as bookrunner, lead arranger and syndication agent (in such capacities, collectively, the Lead Arrangers) in arranging the Term Facility. Barclays will act as the sole administrative agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent) for the Term Facility. No additional agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed and no other titles will be awarded and no other compensation will be paid (other than compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the fee letter dated the date hereof among the Commitment Parties and you (the Fee Letter)) unless you and the Lead Arrangers shall agree in writing. It is understood and agreed that Barclays will have the left and highest placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Term Facility and shall hold the leading role and responsibilities conventionally associated with such placement, including maintaining sole physical books for the Term Facility. You agree that JPMCB may perform its responsibilities hereunder through its affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.
3. Conditions to Commitment. The Commitment and undertakings of the Commitment Parties hereunder are subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in the Conditions Annex.
Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Financing Documentation (as defined in the Conditions Annex) or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date, shall be (i) such of the representations made by the Target with respect to the Target or its businesses in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you or any of your affiliates have the right (taking into account any applicable cure periods) to terminate your or such affiliates obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or otherwise decline to close the Acquisition (in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement) as a result of a breach of any such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement or any such representation or warranty not being accurate (the Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (b) the terms of the Financing Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in Annex B are satisfied or waived by the Lenders (it is understood that, to the extent any guaranty or lien search or security interest in the intended Collateral (other than (x) in the certificated equity securities of any material wholly owned U.S. domestic subsidiaries of the Borrower (other than the Target and its subsidiaries) and related stock powers to the extent constituting Collateral, (y) Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) lien searches in an entitys jurisdiction of organization for entities organized in the United States and (y) any Collateral the security interest in which may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement for entities organized in the United States) is not or cannot be provided or perfected in accordance with the Term Sheet on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so or without undue burden or expense, then the provision of any such guaranty or lien search and/or the perfection of security interests in such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, but shall be required to be delivered and/or perfected within 60 days after the Closing Date (in each case, subject to extensions to be reasonably agreed upon by the Administrative Agent)). For purposes hereof, Specified Representations means the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Term Loan Documentation relating to corporate or other organizational existence and good standing in such Loan Partys jurisdiction of organization; power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability, in each case, relating to the Loan Parties entering into and performance of the Financing Documentation; enforceability of the Financing Documentation against the Loan Parties; no conflicts with or consents required under the Loan Parties organizational documents relating to entering into and performance of the Financing Documentation; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions, with solvency being determined in a manner consistent with Exhibit D to this Commitment Letter) of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the Investment Company Act; use of proceeds in violation of the PATRIOT Act, OFAC and FCPA. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the Limited Conditionality Provision.
4. Syndication.
(a) The Lead Arrangers reserve the right, both prior to and after the Closing Date, to secure commitments for the Term Facility from a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities reasonably acceptable to you (such financial institutions and other entities committing to the Term Facility, including the Initial Lenders, the Lenders) (it is understood that the Lead Arrangers will not syndicate to (x) any competitor identified in writing to the Lead Arrangers or (y) any affiliate of a competitor of the Borrower or the Target that is either (i) clearly identifiable on the basis of name or (ii) identified in writing to the Lead Arrangers (other than any such affiliate that is affiliated with a financial investor in such person and that is not itself an operating company or otherwise an affiliate of an operating company so long as such affiliate is a bona fide debt fund (a Disqualified Lender); provided, that no addition to the list of Disqualified Lenders shall apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that
2
have previously acquired an assignment or participation interest in the Term Facility, but such person shall be disqualified from purchasing future assignments and participations)) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter. Until the date that is 60 days following the Closing Date (the Syndication Date), you agree to assist the Lead Arrangers actively in achieving a syndication of the Term Facility that is satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you. To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree that you will, and will use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause your representatives and advisors to, (i) provide promptly to the Commitment Parties upon request all customary information reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers to assist the Lead Arrangers to complete the syndication, (ii) make your senior management available to prospective Lenders at times and places to be mutually agreed that will not interfere with the normal operation of your business, (iii) host, with the Lead Arrangers, one or more meetings or calls with prospective Lenders at mutually agreed times and locations (provided in no event shall you be required to host more than one bank meeting), (iv) assist, and use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause your advisors to assist, the Lead Arrangers in the preparation of one or more customary confidential information memoranda and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication and (v) your ensuring that prior to the Syndication Date (and using your commercially reasonable efforts to cause your representatives and advisors to ensure) there will be no competing issues, offerings, placements, arrangements or syndications of debt or equity securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of you or your subsidiaries or the Target or its subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Term Facility, any Securities Issuance and any Refinancing) without the written consent of the Lead Arrangers, unless such issuance, offering, placement, arrangement or syndication could not reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Term Facility (it being understood that indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for capital expenditures and working capital purposes will not materially impair the primary syndication of the Term Facility). For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any attorney-client privilege, law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality from a third party binding on you, the Target or any of your or its respective affiliates (so long as such confidentiality obligation was not entered into in contemplation of the Transactions); provided that you shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the relevant consents under such obligations of confidentiality to allow for the provision of such information to the extent reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers; provided, further, that you will inform the Lead Arrangers, in advance and to the extent legally permitted, that you are withholding any information pursuant to the foregoing. Your obligations under this Commitment Letter to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target or members of its management to take (or to refrain from taking) any action shall be subject to any applicable limitation on your rights as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement.
(b) The Lead Arrangers and/or one or more of their respective affiliates will manage all aspects of the syndication of the Term Facility (in consultation with you), including decisions as to the selection and number of potential Lenders to be approached, when they will be approached, whose commitments will be accepted, subject to your consent (with your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any titles offered to the Lenders and the final allocations of the commitments and any related fees among the Lenders, and the Lead Arrangers will exclusively perform all functions and exercise all authority as is customarily performed and exercised in such capacities. Notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers rights to syndicate the Term Facility and receive commitments with respect thereto, unless otherwise agreed to by you, (i) none of the Initial Lenders shall not be relieved or released from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Term Facility on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation in the Term Facility, including its Commitment, until the funding under the Term Facility has occurred on the Closing Date, (ii) no assignment by an Initial Lender shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of such Initial Lenders Commitment until the funding of the Term Facility (except to the extent that the Borrower has
3
consummated a Securities Issuance and/or Refinancing and proceeds thereof are available on or prior to the Closing Date in lieu of the Term Facility or a portion thereof), (iii) the Initial Lenders shall, in all cases, retain, in the aggregate, 50.1% of the Commitment, and (iv) unless you and we agree in writing, the Initial Lenders shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its Commitment in respect of the Term Facility, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commitment Parties will not syndicate or otherwise assign, novate or transfer any portion of a commitment hereunder or under the Term Facility, or participate or novate any portion of a commitment hereunder or under the Term Facility, to any Disqualified Lender without the prior written consent of the Borrower. Without limiting your obligations to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Commitment hereunder is not conditioned upon the commencement or completion of the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Term Facility and in no event shall either the successful completion of the syndication of the Term Facility or compliance with the Commitment Letter constitute a condition to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
5. Information.
(a) You represent, warrant and covenant that (to the best of your knowledge, insofar as it relates to the Target and its subsidiaries) (i) all written information and written data (other than the Projections, as defined below, other forward-looking information, estimates and information of a general economic or general industry nature) concerning the Borrower, its subsidiaries, the Target, its subsidiaries and any aspect of the Transactions that has been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties or the Lenders by you or any of your or their representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates (or on your or their behalf) (the Information), when taken as a whole (after giving effect to any supplements or updates), (x) is and will be true, complete and correct in all material respects and (y) does not, and in the case of Information made available after the date hereof, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading and (ii) all financial projections concerning the Borrower and its subsidiaries or the Target and its subsidiaries, taking into account the consummation of the Transactions, that have been or will be made available to any of the Commitment Parties or the Lenders by you or any of your representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates (or on your or their behalf) (the Projections) have been and will be prepared in good faith with a reasonable basis for the assumptions and the conclusions reached therein on the date provided (it being understood that (w) the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, (x) the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, (y) no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and (z) actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time prior to the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties contained in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement (or use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement, in the case of Information relating to the Target, if previously prepared and available) the Information and the Projections so that such representations are correct in all material respects under those circumstances. We will be entitled to use and rely upon, without responsibility to verify independently, the Information and the Projections. You acknowledge that we may share with any of our affiliates for purposes of providing services under this Commitment Letter (it being understood that such affiliates will be subject to the confidentiality agreements between you and us), and such affiliates may share with the Commitment Parties, any information related to you, the Target, or any of your or the Targets subsidiaries or affiliates (including, without limitation, in each case, information relating to creditworthiness) and the transactions contemplated hereby.

At the request of the Lead Arrangers, (A) you will assist, and use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause your advisors, and to the extent possible using commercially reasonable efforts, appropriate representatives of the Target to assist (to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement), the Lead Arrangers in the preparation of Informational Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Term Facility to Public Lenders, which will not contain MNPI (the Public Informational Materials) and (B) at the request of the Lead Arrangers you will identify and conspicuously mark any Public Informational Materials PUBLIC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that the Commitment Parties may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders (including the Public Lenders) (other than Disqualified Lenders) on your behalf, unless you advise the Commitment Parties in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such material should not be distributed to Public Lenders: (w) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (x) notifications of changes in the terms of the Term Facility, (y) historical financial information regarding the Borrower and its subsidiaries (other than the Projections) and the Target and its subsidiaries that have been publicly disclosed and (z) drafts and final versions of the Term Sheet and the Financing Documentation. If you advise us in writing (including by email) that any of the foregoing items (other than the Financing Documentation) should not be distributed to Public Lenders, then the Commitment Parties will not distribute such materials to Public Lenders without further discussions with you. Before distribution of any Informational Materials to prospective Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Informational Materials and confirming the accuracy and completeness in all material respects of the information contained therein and, in the case of Public Informational Materials, confirming the absence of MNPI therefrom. In addition, the Information Materials shall (I) exculpate you with respect to any liability related to the misuse of the contents of such Information Materials or any related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof and (II) exculpate us with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of such Information Materials or any related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof.
6. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party and each of its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, representatives, advisors and agents and each of their respective heirs, successors and assigns (each, an Indemnified Party) from and against any and all actions, suits, losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of any kind or nature (including legal expenses), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject or that may be incurred or asserted or awarded against such Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (a) any matters contemplated by this Commitment Letter, the Transactions or any related transaction (including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter, the Financing Documentation, or the definitive documentation for any Securities Issuance and/or Refinancing issued or incurred for the purpose of refinancing or reducing the Commitment with respect to all or a portion of the Term Facility and the closing of the Transactions) or (b) the use or the contemplated use of the proceeds of the Term Facility, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for all out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to

You shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party affected thereby (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnified Party to claim indemnification hereunder unless such settlement (x) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnified Party, (y) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and (z) requires no action on the part of the Indemnified Party other than its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).
