of July 1998, by and between Dendreon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and each of those persons and entities, severally and not jointly,
whose names are set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto (which persons and
entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Investors" and each
individually as an "Investor").

                                   Recitals

     Whereas, the Company has authorized the sale and issuance of an aggregate
of two million thirty thousand (2,030,000) shares of its Series D Preferred
Stock (the "Shares");

     Whereas, the Investors desire to purchase the Shares on the terms and
conditions set forth herein; and

     Whereas, the Company desires to issue and sell the Shares to Investors on
the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.1  Sale and Issuance of Shares.

               (a)  The Company shall adopt and file with the Secretary of State
of Delaware prior to the Closing (as defined below) an Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
                                                            ---------
"Restated Certificate").

               (b)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each
Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at the Closing and the
Company agrees to sell and issue to each Investor, severally and not jointly, at

<PAGE>

          1.3  Subsequent Sale of Shares.

               Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the
event that not all of the authorized Shares are sold at the First Closing the
Company may sell in one or more additional Closings, on or before August 14,
1998 (each, a "Subsequent Closing"), any authorized but unissued Shares at the
same price per share as the Shares purchased and sold at the First Closing. Any
such investor at a Subsequent Closing shall then become an "Investor" under this
Agreement. At or prior to a Subsequent Closing, any such Investor shall execute
a counterpart copy of this Agreement and any related agreements or other
documents required to be executed hereunder, and shall thereupon become a party
to this Agreement, the Stockholders' Agreement (as defined below) and any

agreed upon by such Investor and the Company. In the event that payment by an
Investor is made, in whole or in part, by cancellation or conversion of
indebtedness, then such Investor shall surrender to the Company for cancellation

of cancellation in form and substance acceptable to the Company. In addition,
the Company at the Closing shall deliver to any Investor choosing to pay any
part of the purchase price of the Shares by cancellation of indebtedness, a
check in the amount of any uncancelled interest accrued on such indebtedness
through the Closing, or the number of Shares such interest would purchase at the
purchase price of $5.00 per share, plus a check in lieu of any fractional share
in the amount of any remaining interest in an amount less than $5.00.

business entity.

          2.7  Financial Statements.

               The Company has delivered to each Investor its audited financial
statements (balance sheet, statement of profit and loss, statement of
stockholders equity and statement of cash flows) for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997 and its unaudited financial statements (balance sheet,
statement of profit and loss, statement of stockholders equity and statement of
cash flows) for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 (collectively, the
"Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (except that
the unaudited financial statements do not contain all footnotes required by
GAAP) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The
Financial Statements fairly present the financial condition and operating
results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein,
subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end
audit adjustments, which adjustments the Company believes will not be material.
Except for spending in accordance with its current plan, since December 31,
1997, there has been no material adverse change in the operations or financial
condition of the Company.

          2.8  Tax Returns, Payments and Elections.

               All material tax returns required to be filed by the Company in
any jurisdiction (including foreign jurisdictions) have been timely filed, and
all material taxes, assessments, fees and other charges (including, without
limitation, withholding taxes, penalties and interest) due or claimed to be due
from the Company that are due and payable have been paid, other than those (i)
being contested in good faith and for which an adequate reserve or accrual has
been established or (ii) those currently payable without penalty or interest and
for which an adequate reserve or accrual has been established or extensions duly
filed. The Company knows of no actual or proposed additional tax assessments or
any reason for the imposition or proposal of any additional tax assessments for
any fiscal period against the Company that would, singly or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Neither
the Company's income nor franchise tax returns are under audit and no waivers of
the statute of limitations or extensions of time with respect to any tax returns
have been granted by the Company.

          2.9  Contracts and Other Commitments.

               The Company does not have any material contract, agreement,
lease, commitment written or oral, absolute or contingent, other than (i)
contracts for the purchase of supplies and services that were entered into in
the ordinary course of business and that do not involve more than $200,000, and
do not extend for more than one (1) year beyond the date hereof; and (ii)
contracts terminable at will by the Company on no more than thirty (30) days'
notice without cost or liability to the Company and that do not involve any
employment or consulting arrangement and are not material to the conduct of the
Company's business. For the

                                       5.
<PAGE>

purpose of this paragraph, material employment and consulting contracts and
contracts with labor unions, and license agreements and any other agreements
relating to the acquisition or disposition of the Company's technology (other
than standard end-user license agreements) shall not be considered to be
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

          2.10 Registration Rights.

               Except as provided in the Stockholders' Agreement, the Company is
not obligated to register under the Securities Act any of its presently
outstanding securities or any of its securities that may subsequently be issued.

          2.11 Compliance With Other Instruments.

               The Company is not in violation or default in any respect of any
provision of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws or
in any material respect of any provision of any mortgage, indenture, agreement,
instrument, or contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound or, to
the best of its knowledge, of any federal or state judgment, order, writ,
decree, statute, rule, or regulation applicable to the Company. The execution,
delivery, and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the Stockholders'
Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation or be in
material conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time or
giving of notice, either a material default under any such provision or an event
that results in the creation of any material lien, charge, or encumbrance upon
any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture,
or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval
applicable to the Company, its business or operations, or any of its assets or
properties.

          2.12 Litigation.

               There is no action, suit, proceeding, or investigation pending or
currently threatened against the Company that (i) questions the validity of this
Agreement, the Stockholders' Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement or the right
of the Company to enter into such agreements, or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) that might result, either individually
or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets, business,
properties, prospects, or financial condition of the Company, or in any material
change in the current equity ownership of the Company. The foregoing includes,
without limitation, any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation pending or
currently threatened involving the prior employment of any of the Company's
employees, their use in connection with the Company's business of any
information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers, their obligations under any agreements with prior employers, or
negotiations by the Company with potential backers of, or investors in, the
Company or its proposed business. The Company is not a party to, or to the best
of its knowledge, named in any order, writ, injunction, judgment, or decree of
any court, government agency, or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, or
proceeding by the Company currently pending or that the Company currently
intends to initiate.

          2.13 Disclosure.

               The Company has provided each Investor with all the information
reasonably available to it without undue expense that such Investor has
requested for deciding whether to purchase the Shares and all information that
the Company has and that it believes is reasonably necessary to enable such

               To the best of the Company's knowledge, the Company owns, or is
licensed under, and has the right to use, all patents, trademarks, trade names,
copyrights, technology, know how and processes (collectively, "Intellectual
Property") necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement will not alter or impair any such rights. The Company has not
received any communications asserting the rights to use the Company's
Intellectual Property or challenging or questioning the validity or
effectiveness of any license or agreement related thereto, nor has the Company
received any communications asserting that the use of such Intellectual Property
by the Company infringes on the rights of any person. No officer, director or
employee of the Company owns or holds, directly or indirectly, any interest in

Company's knowledge, any of its employees, is in violation of any agreement or

          2.20 Title to and Condition of Properties.

               Except (i) as reflected in the Financial Statements (as defined
in paragraph 2.7), (ii) for liens for current taxes not yet delinquent, (iii)
for liens imposed by law and incurred in the ordinary course of business for
obligations not past due to carriers, warehousemen, laborers, materialmen and
the like, (iv) for liens in respect of pledges or deposits under workers'
compensation laws or similar legislation, or (v) for minor defects in title,
none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the
use of such property, the Company (a) has good and marketable title to all the
real or personal properties and other assets (tangible, intangible or mixed) it
purports to own, free and clear of all material liens, and (b) enjoys peaceful
and undisturbed possession under all material leases to which the Company is a
party as lessee. All material leases and other material agreements to which the
Company is a party are valid and binding and in full force and effect. No
default has occurred or is continuing under such leases and other agreements,
and no consent need be obtained (other than consents that will be obtained prior
to the Closing) from any person in respect of any such lease or agreement in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the
extent that any such defaults, or the failure to obtain any such consents, could
not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company. The properties used in the conduct of the
business of the Company are in good repair and working order, except to such
extent as would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company maintains such insurance
as may be required by law and such other insurance, to such extent and against
such hazards and liabilities, as the Company believes is reasonably necessary.

<PAGE>

accepted accounting principles consistently applied and setting forth in each
case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in
reasonable detail. Such financial statements shall be accompanied by a report
and opinion thereon by independent public accountants of national standing
selected by the Company's Board of Directors.

               (b)  The Company will furnish each Investor, as soon as
practicable after the end of the first, second and third quarterly accounting
periods in each fiscal year of the Company, a consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of the end of each such quarterly period, and a consolidated
statement of income and a consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company

with generally accepted accounting principles, with the exception that no notes

     3.   Representations and Warranties of Investors.

          Each Investor hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and
warrants that:

          3.1  Authorization.

               Such Investor has full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding
obligation of such Investor.

          3.2  Purchase Entirely for Own Account.

               (a)  This Agreement is made with each Investor identified on
Schedule 1 as a Regulation D Investor (each a "Regulation D Investor") in
reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company, which by such
Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the
Shares to be purchased by such Investor and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof (collectively, the "Regulation D Securities") will be
acquired for investment for such Investor's own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this
Agreement, each Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any
contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with
respect to any of the Regulation D Securities.

               (b)  This Agreement is made with each Investor identified on
Schedule 1 as a Regulation S Investor (each a "Regulation S Investor") in
reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company, which by such
Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the
Shares to be purchased by such Investor and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof (collectively, the "Regulation S Securities") (the Regulation
D Securities and the Regulation S Securities being sometimes collectively
referred to herein as the "Securities") will be acquired for investment for such
Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof in the United States or to a United
States resident, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing
this Agreement, each Investor further represents that such Investor does not
have any

                                       9.
<PAGE>

contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person in the
United States or to a United States Resident, with respect to any of the
Regulation S Securities.

          3.3  Reliance Upon Investors' Representations.

               Each Investor understands that the Securities are not, and any
Common Stock acquired on conversion thereof at the time of issuance may not be,
registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in
this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof (in the
case of Regulation D Securities) or Regulation S thereunder (in the case of
Regulation S Securities), and that the Company's reliance on such exemptions is
predicated on the Investors' representations set forth herein. Each Regulation D
Investor realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if,
notwithstanding such representations, the Investor has in mind merely acquiring
the Regulation D Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future,
for sale if the market rises, or for sale if the market does not rise. No
Regulation D Investor has any such intention.

          3.4  Receipt of Information.

               Each Investor believes such Investor has received all the
information such Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Shares. Each Investor further represents that such
Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the
Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the
business, properties, prospects, and financial condition of the Company and to
obtain such additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such
information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense)
necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to such Investor
or to which such Investor had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or
modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this
Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon.

          3.5  Investment Experience.

               Each Investor represents that such Investor is experienced in
evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the early stages of
product research and development and acknowledges that such Investor is able to
fend for himself, herself or itself, can bear the economic risk of such
Investor's investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Shares. If other than an individual, Investor
also represents that such Investor has not been organized for the purpose of
acquiring the Shares.

          3.6  Accredited Investor or Qualified Regulation S Purchaser.

               (a)  The term "Accredited Investor" as used herein refers to:

                    (i)    A person or entity who is a director or executive
officer of the Company;

                                      10.
<PAGE>

                    (ii)   Any bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the
Securities Act, or any savings and loan association or other institution as
defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its
individual or fiduciary capacity; any broker or dealer registered pursuant to
Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; any insurance Company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development
Company as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of that Act; any Small Business
Investment Company licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration under
Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958; any plan
established and maintained by a state, its political subdivisions, or any agency
or instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of
its employees, if such plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000; any
employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is made by a plan
fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such Act, which is either a bank,
savings and loan association, insurance Company, or registered investment
adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of
$5,000,000 or, if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely be
persons that are accredited investors;

                    (iii)  Any private business development Company as defined
in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

                    (iv)   Any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust,
or partnership, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities
offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;

                    (v)    Any natural person whose individual net worth, or
joint net worth with that person's spouse, at the time of such person's purchase
exceeds $1,000,000;

                    (vi)   Any natural person who had an individual income in
excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with
that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a
reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year;

                    (vii)  Any trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000,
not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose
purchase is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that such person is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the prospective investment; or

                    (viii) Any entity in which all of the equity owners are
accredited investors.

     As used in this Section 3.6(a) , the term "net worth" means the excess of
total assets over total liabilities. For the purpose of determining a person's
net worth, the principal residence owned by an individual should be valued at
fair market value, including the cost of improvements, net of current
encumbrances. As used in this Section 3.6(a), "income" means actual economic
income, which may differ from adjusted gross income for income tax purposes.
Accordingly, each Investor should consider whether such Investor should add any
or all of the

                                      11.
<PAGE>

following items to such Investor's adjusted gross income for income tax purposes
in order to reflect more accurately such Investor's actual economic income: any
amounts attributable to tax-exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited
partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion,
contributions to an IRA or Keogh retirement plan, and alimony payments.

               (b)  The term "Qualified Regulation S Purchaser" as used herein
refers to a person or entity who is not a United States person, as such term is
defined in Rule 902 promulgated under the Securities Act.

               (c)  Each Regulation D Investor, as to such Investor, severally
and not jointly, further represents to the Company that such Investor is an
Accredited Investor.

               (d)  Each Regulation S Investor, as to such Investor, severally
and not jointly, further represents to the Company that such Investor is a
Qualified Regulation S Purchaser.

          3.7  Restricted Securities.

               Each Investor understands that the Shares (and any Common Stock
issued on conversion thereof) may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise
disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement
covering the Shares (or the Common Stock issued on conversion thereof) or an
available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Shares (and
any Common Stock issued on conversion thereof) must be held indefinitely. In
particular, each Investor is aware that the Shares (and any Common Stock issued
on conversion thereof) may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. Among the
conditions for use of Rule 144 may be the availability of current information to
the public about the Company. Such information is not now available and the
Company has no present plans to make such information available.

          3.8  Legends.

               To the extent applicable, each certificate or other document
evidencing any of the Shares or any Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof
shall be endorsed with the legends set forth below:

               (a)  The following legend under the Securities Act:

                    "THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED

                    SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH
                    REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

               (d)  Any legend required by applicable state securities or "blue
                    sky" laws.

          3.9  Public Sale.

               Each Investor agrees not to make, without the prior written
consent of the Company, any public offering or sale of the Shares, or any Common
