WAIVER AGREEMENT

This WAIVER AGREEMENT (this “Waiver”) is entered into as of June 15, 2026, by and among Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation, a Washington corporation (the “Company”), OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, in its capacity as Purchaser Agent and as a Purchaser (in such capacities, “OrbiMed”), and each other Purchaser party hereto (OrbiMed, together with such other Purchasers, the “Waiving Parties”).

RECITALS

A. The Company, OrbiMed (as Purchaser Agent) and the Purchasers are parties to that certain Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2022 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

B. The Company proposes to issue and sell up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Notes Offering”).

C. In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company intends to (i) enter into one or more privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more financial institutions (the “Capped Call Transactions”), (ii) use a portion of the net proceeds of the Notes Offering to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Repurchase”), and (iii) use a portion of the net proceeds to repurchase the outstanding Revenue Interests and satisfy all other Obligations under the Purchase Agreement (all such transactions, including the Notes Offering, collectively, the “Transactions”).

D. Certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement may restrict or prohibit the Company from consummating the Transactions, and the Company has requested that the Waiving Parties waive such provisions solely to the extent necessary to permit the Transactions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Waiver. Subject to Sections 2 and 3, the Waiving Parties hereby waive, solely to the extent necessary to permit the Company to consummate the Transactions, any restriction, prohibition or default (or any event that with notice or lapse of time would constitute a default) arising under the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document as a result of or in connection with:

(a) the issuance and sale of the Notes and the execution and delivery of the indenture, purchase agreement and other documents related to the Notes Offering;

(b) the entry into, performance of and payment of premiums in respect of the Capped Call Transactions;

(c) the consummation of the Share Repurchase;

(d) the repurchase of all outstanding Revenue Interests and repayment of the Obligations under the Purchase Agreement; and


(e) the taking of any other action reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the Transactions, including without limitation the filing of any current reports or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 2. Condition Precedent to Effectiveness of Waiver. This Waiver shall become effective on the date on which the Purchaser Agent receives counterpart signatures to this Waiver duly executed and delivered by the Company, each Purchaser and the Purchaser Agent.

Section 3. Condition Subsequent to Effectiveness of Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the waiver set forth in Section 1 shall automatically be void ab initio and of no force or effect if either of the following has not occurred upon the earlier of (x) promptly following the closing of the Notes Offering and (y) the close of business on June 23, 2026: (a) each Purchaser has received payment in full, in immediately available funds, of its pro rata portion of the repurchase amount calculated at an agreed repurchase amount of $156,892,013.94; and (b) payment of all expenses of the Purchaser Agent and the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Covington & Burling LLP, counsel to the Purchaser Agent and the Purchasers) incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, this Waiver, any payoff letter and other lien release documentation and the Transactions and invoiced prior to June 22, 2026. If the waiver set forth in Section 1 becomes void pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then (i) the Waiving Parties shall retain all rights and remedies with respect to any restriction, prohibition, default, Put Option Event, Catch Up Payment Event, Material Breach or other breach arising under the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document as if this Waiver had never been entered into, (ii) this Waiver shall have no further force and effect, (iii) any offers or proposals relating to the repurchase of the Revenue Interests, whether verbal or written, shall be deemed to be null and void and of no further force and effect, and (iv) the full amount of the Obligations, including with respect to the Revenue Interests, shall remain outstanding and no liens or security interests securing the Obligations shall be considered released.

Section 4. Limitations. The waiver set forth in Section 1 is a one-time waiver and is limited solely to the specific transactions comprising the Transactions. This Waiver does not constitute (a) a consent to any future transaction or action not described herein, or (b) a waiver of any rights or remedies of the Waiving Parties with respect to any other existing or future breach of, or default under, the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing in this Waiver shall be construed as establishing a course of dealing or custom, or as modifying, amending or supplementing the terms of the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except as expressly set forth herein.

Section 5. Purchase Agreement in Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly modified by this Waiver, the Purchase Agreement and each other Transaction Document shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. This Waiver shall constitute a Transaction Document for all purposes of the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 6. Governing Law. This Waiver shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.


Section 7. Waiver and Release. TO INDUCE PURCHASER AGENT AND THE PURCHASERS TO AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS WAIVER, THE COMPANY, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASING PARTIES”) REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF THERE ARE NO CLAIMS OR OFFSETS AGAINST OR RIGHTS OF RECOUPMENT WITH RESPECT TO, OR DISPUTES OF, OR DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS TO THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH THE RELEASING PARTIES HEREBY:
