Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2008 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among ALEXION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the “Borrower”), each Lender from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and the other

 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that certain Events of Default
have occurred and are continuing solely as a result of the Borrower’s failure to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Sections 7.12(a) and 7.12(b) of the Credit Agreement as of the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31,
2008 (the “Specified Defaults”); 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
waive the Specified Defaults and agree to amend certain of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, as specifically set forth in this Amendment; and 
 WHEREAS, the undersigned Lenders and the Administrative Agent are prepared to waive the Specified Defaults and to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance on the
representations set forth herein.

parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of all of the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the undersigned Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby waive the Specified Defaults solely for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. This waiver shall not impair any right or power accruing to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent with respect to any other Default or Event of Default or any Default or Event of Default which occurs after the date hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to imply any willingness of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to agree to, or otherwise prejudice any rights of any Lender or the Administrative Agent with respect to, any similar waiver that may be requested by the Borrower. Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than the
Specified Defaults), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions permitted to be taken by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law.

covered herein, shall not be considered to be an amendment or waiver of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under the Credit Agreement, under any other Loan Document (except as expressly set forth herein) or
under Law, and shall not be considered to create a course of dealing or to otherwise obligate in any respect the Administrative Agent or any Lender to execute similar or other amendments or waivers or grant any amendments or waivers under the same
or similar or other circumstances in the future.
