Non-employee members of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Orexigen Therapeutics, Inc. (the
“Company”) shall be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation as set forth in this Independent Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”). The cash compensation and option grants described in
this Policy shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company (each, an
“Independent Director”) who may be eligible to receive such cash compensation or options, unless such Independent Director declines the receipt of such cash compensation or options by written notice to the Company. This
Policy shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. 
 1. Cash Compensation. 

Each Independent Director shall be eligible to receive an annual retainer of $40,000 for service on the Board. In addition, an Independent
Director serving as: 
 (i) chairman of the Board shall be eligible to receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000 for such service;

 (ii) chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board shall be eligible to receive an additional annual retainer of $18,000 for such service;

 (iii) members (other than the chairman) of the Audit Committee shall be eligible to receive an additional annual retainer of $7,500 for
such service;

annual retainer of $7,500 for such service. 
 The annual retainers shall be paid by the Company in quarterly installments or more frequently
as deemed advisable by the officers of the Company for administrative or other reasons. 
 2. Equity Compensation. The options
described below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and shall be granted subject to the execution and delivery of
option agreements, including attached exhibits, in substantially the same forms previously approved by the Board, setting forth the vesting schedule applicable to such options and such other terms as may be required by the 2007 Plan. 

(a) Initial Options. A person who is initially elected or appointed to the Board and who is an Independent Director at the time of such
initial election or appointment, shall be eligible to receive a non-qualified stock option to purchase 70,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan) on the date of such initial election or appointment (each, an
“Initial Option”). 
 (b) Subsequent Options. A person who is an Independent Director automatically shall be
eligible to receive a non-qualified stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan) on the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. An Independent Director elected
for the first time to the Board at an annual meeting of stockholders shall only receive an Initial Option in connection with such election, and shall not receive a Subsequent Option on the date of such meeting as well. The option grants described in
the first sentence of this clause shall be referred to as “Subsequent Options.” The Subsequent Option amount for an Independent Director elected for the first time to the Board prior to the annual meeting but after the
previous year’s annual meeting will be pro-rated to reflect the days that the Independent Director had served on the Board until the date of the annual meeting. 

(c) Termination of Employment of Employee Directors. Members of the Board who are employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary
of the Company who subsequently terminate their employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company and remain on the Board as Independent Directors will not receive an Initial Option grant pursuant to clause 2(a) above, but to
the extent that they are otherwise eligible, will be eligible to receive, after termination from employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, Subsequent Options as described in clause 2(b) above. 

(d) Terms of Options Granted to Independent Directors. 

(i) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price of each option granted to an Independent Director shall equal 100% of the Fair Market
Value (as defined in the 2007 Plan) of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted. 
 (ii) Vesting. Initial Options
granted to Independent Directors shall vest and become exercisable in thirty-six equal monthly installments of 1/36 of the shares subject to such option on the same day of each one-month period of service as an Independent Director following the
Initial Option grant, such that each Initial Option shall be 100% vested on the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Independent Director’s continuing service on the Board through such dates. Subsequent Options
granted to Independent Directors shall vest and become exercisable in twelve equal monthly installments of 1/12 of the shares subject to such option on the same day of each one-month period of service as an Independent Director following the
Subsequent Option grant, such that each 

  
 2 

 
Subsequent Option shall be 100% vested on the first (1st) anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Independent Director’s
continuing service on the Board through such dates. In addition, all Initial Options and Subsequent Options granted pursuant to this Policy shall vest and become exercisable in full in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2007 Plan).
No portion of an option which is unexercisable at the time of an Independent Director’s termination of membership on the Board shall thereafter become exercisable. 

(iii) Term. The term of each option granted to an Independent Director pursuant to this Independent Director Compensation Policy shall
be ten years from the date the option is granted. 
 (iv) Effect of Termination of Board Service on Options. An Independent Director
shall be able to exercise his or her Initial Options and Subsequent Options granted pursuant to this Policy and that were vested at the time of his or her cessation of Board service until the first to occur of (A) the third anniversary of the

 WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Required
Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent wish to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, as specifically set forth in this Amendment and on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 “Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any Swap
Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the Multiparty Guaranty of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the

“eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act (determined after giving effect to Section 10.19(k) and any other “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of such Guarantor and
any and all guarantees of such Guarantor’s Swap Obligations by other Loan Parties) at the time the Multiparty Guaranty of such Guarantor, or a grant by such Guarantor of a security interest, becomes effective with respect to such Swap
Obligation. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such Multiparty Guaranty or security
interest is or becomes excluded in accordance with the first sentence of this definition.

(g) Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: 

“ 2.16 Increase in Commitments. 

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $250,000,000 in the aggregate; provided that (i) any such
request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000, (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of five such requests, and (iii) no Lender shall be required to participate in an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
after such request. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business
Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). 
 (b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall
notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its applicable Revolving Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested
increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment. 

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and
each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably
withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. 

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the aggregate Revolving Commitments are increased in accordance with this
Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. 
 (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of
Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each 

  
 7 

 
Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE
V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such
earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.16, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists or would result therefrom. The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay
any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Commitments
under this Section. 
 (f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary.” 
 (h) Section 3.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated to read in its entirety as follows: 
 “ 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore
interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, or
(b) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be
suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization
of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) in the case of
Revolving Loans or Term Loans denominated in Dollars, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be

  
 8 

 
deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, and (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency, prepay such Loans at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, as the case may be, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a pending request for a Eurocurrency Loan or conversion or continuation in an Alternative
Currency as to which the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, may establish an alternative
interest rate that reflects the all-in-cost of funds to the Administrative Agent for funding Loans in the applicable currency and amount, and with the same Interest Period as the Eurocurrency Rate Loan requested to be made, converted or continued,
as the case may be (the “Impacted Loans”), in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (x) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the
Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (y) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (z) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender
to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.” 
 (i) The last sentence of
Section 5.11 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “Neither any Loan Party nor any wholly-owned
Subsidiary thereof is party to any tax sharing agreement other than taxing sharing agreements solely among one or more of Equinix and its past or present Affiliates (other than shareholders, directors or officers).” 

(j) A new Section 5.19 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement in proper numeric order to read as follows:

or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Multiparty Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect

voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until
the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or
other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.” 
 (x) Exhibit
D to the Credit Agreement (Form of Compliance Certificate) is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth on Attachment 1 to this Amendment.

 (d) The Borrower shall have paid all
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent (directly to such counsel if requested by the Administrative Agent) to the extent invoiced prior to the date hereof, plus such additional amounts of such fees, charges
and disbursements as shall constitute its reasonable estimate of such fees, charges and disbursements incurred or to be incurred by it through the closing proceedings of this Amendment (provided that such estimate shall not thereafter preclude a
final settling of accounts between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent); 
 (e) There shall not have occurred a Material Adverse
Effect since December 31, 2012 or any event or occurrence of whatever nature (including any adverse determination in any litigation, arbitration or governmental investigation or proceeding) that could have a Material Adverse Effect; and

§3. Representations and Warranties; No Default. Each of the Loan Parties hereby repeats, on and as of the date hereof, each
of the representations and warranties made by it in the Credit Agreement (except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions contemplated or permitted by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to the extent
that such representations and warranties relate expressly to an earlier date), provided that all references therein to the Credit Agreement shall refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. In addition, each of the Loan Parties hereby
represents and warrants that the execution 

  
 16 

 
and delivery by such Person of this Amendment and the performance by such Person of all of its agreements and obligations under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby are within the corporate
authority of such Person and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Person. The execution and delivery of this Amendment will result in valid and legally binding obligations of such Loan Party, enforceable

Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

respects and shall continue in full force and effect. No amendment, consent or waiver herein granted or agreement herein made shall extend beyond the terms expressly set forth herein for such amendment, consent, waiver or agreement, as the case may
be, nor shall anything contained herein be deemed to imply any willingness of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to agree to, or otherwise prejudice any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to, any similar amendments,
consents, waivers or agreements that may be requested for any future period, and this Amendment shall not be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the Loan Documents or to permit the Borrower or any other Loan Party to take any other
action which is prohibited by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Credit Agreement and this Amendment shall be read and construed as a single agreement. All references in the Credit Agreement, or any related agreement
or instrument to the Credit Agreement shall hereafter refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms the validity and enforceability of all of the Liens and security interests heretofore granted and
pledged by such Loan Party pursuant to the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent, on behalf and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, and acknowledges that all of such Liens and security
interests, and all Collateral heretofore granted, pledged or otherwise created as security for the Secured Obligations continue to be and remain collateral security for the Secured Obligations from and after the date hereof. Each of the Guarantors
party to the Multiparty Guaranty hereby acknowledges and consents to this Amendment and agrees that the Multiparty Guaranty and all other Loan Documents to which each of the Guarantors are a party remain in full force and effect, and each of the
Guarantors confirms and ratifies all of its Secured Obligations thereunder. 
 §5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Financial Statement
Date:                    , 
  

	To:	Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2012 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise

Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and L/C Issuer. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Credit Agreement. 
 The undersigned hereby certifies as of the date hereof that he/she is a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, and that, as such, he/she is authorized to execute and deliver this Compliance Certificate to the Administrative Agent on the behalf of the Borrower, and that:

[Use following paragraph 1 for fiscal quarter-end financial statements] 

1. The Borrower has delivered the unaudited financial statements required by Section 6.01(b) of the Agreement for the fiscal
quarter of the Borrower ended as of the above date. Such financial statements fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP as at such date and for such
period, subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes. 
 2. The undersigned has reviewed and is familiar
with the terms of the Agreement and has made, or has caused to be made under his/her supervision, a detailed review of the transactions and condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower during the accounting period covered by such financial
statements. 
 3. A review of the activities of the Borrower during such fiscal period has been made under the supervision of the
undersigned with a view to determining whether during such fiscal period the Borrower performed and observed all its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and 

 [select one:] 

[to the best knowledge of the undersigned, during such fiscal period the Borrower performed and observed each covenant and condition of the Loan
Documents applicable to it, and no Default has occurred and is continuing.]
