2RESEARCH PROGRAM

2.1Research Program.

(a)The Parties will conduct a research program directed to the use of the Notch Technology to discovery, generation and manufacturing of Products for oncology applications, pursuant to a research plan mutually agreed to by the Parties (such plan, the “Research Plan” and such program, the “Research Program”). The Research Plan shall include the following: (i) a timeline for the conduct of research activities, on an Exclusive Target-by-Exclusive Target basis as applicable (it being understood that, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Research Plan shall be limited in scope to the activities for the Exclusive Target(s) specifically set forth in the Research Plan); (ii) the deliverables to be provided arising from such research activities; (iii) the personnel and other resources Notch is required to apply to the performance of the Research Program, which resources shall not exceed the Research Costs set forth in the Research Budget, (iv) any biological or chemical materials to be provided by a Party to the other Party in order for such Party to conduct its activities under the Research Plan (the providing Party’s “Materials”) and timing therefor; (v) any Know-How to be provided by a Party to the other Party in order for such Party to conduct its activities under the Research Plan and timing therefor; (vi) the criteria for determining whether each Research Milestone or Development Milestone has been successfully completed (with respect to each such milestone, the “Success Criteria”); (vii) Notch Affiliates, contractors and service providers expected to perform services pursuant to the Research Plan; and (viii) a budget for the Research Costs (the “Research Budget”), which, excluding the Research Costs incurred pursuant to Section 2.2, shall not exceed [***] dollars (US$[***]) for the duration of the Collaboration Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, or be less than [***] dollars (US$[***]) per Calendar Year (the “Funding Minimum”), pro-rated for partial Calendar Years, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. The initial Research Plan is set forth as Exhibit E to this Agreement. The Parties hereby agree that the T Cell-based Collaboration Products Directed Against any Target listed in Exhibit F to be researched, developed, manufactured and potentially commercialized shall utilize a chimeric antigen receptor construct produced using technology Allogene has licensed from Cellectis SA.

(b)Notch shall provide reasonable, good faith, non-binding estimates for the Research Budget that is intended to fund Notch for the activities to be performed by Notch as set forth in the Research Plan and intended for the achievement of the goals set forth in the Research Plan, and shall provide supporting documentation therefor to Allogene upon request.

(c)Notch shall not be required to provide resources or to perform activities under the Research Plan the aggregate cost of which (including Notch FTEs at the FTE Rate, material and equipment purchases, costs pursuant to Section 2.2 below, and other Third-Party costs as specified in the Research Plan) exceeds the funding provided by Allogene for such activities.

(d)Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1, each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct its respective obligations set forth in the Research Plan. For clarity, neither Party guarantees that any timeline, deliverables or Success Criteria will be achieved or provided, within the Research Budget or otherwise, and any failure by a Party to achieve any of the same shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement provided that such Party has fulfilled its obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts as set forth in the preceding sentence.

(e)Each Party shall perform, and shall require that its applicable Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees and Third Party contractors perform, all research activities in a good scientific and ethical business manner and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and in compliance with all Applicable Laws. Any breaches of the foregoing by an Affiliate or Third Party shall, as between the Parties, be the responsibility of the Party that engaged such Affiliate or Third Party. No agreement between Notch and its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees, or Third Party contractors that perform services pursuant to the Research Plan will conflict with the terms of this Agreement or impose any obligations on Allogene, except as approved in writing in advance by Allogene. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain materially complete, current and accurate records of the activities conducted by or on behalf of such Party under the Research Program and all data and other information resulting from such activities. Such records shall properly reflect all work done and results achieved in good scientific manner and with intention to be appropriate for regulatory and patent purposes.

(f)Notch shall keep accurate records of the Notch FTEs involved in the performance of the Research Program, including time sheets tracking the time such individual spent working in support of the Research Program.

(g)Subject to Section 2.1(a), with respect to each Exclusive Target, Allogene shall have the right to specify whether the Research Plan shall at any particular time be directed to T Cells, NK Cells or both T Cells and NK Cells.

(h)The term of the Research Program shall commence on the Effective Date and expire upon the earlier of (i) the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) at Allogene’s election, following the JDC’s determination that for each Exclusive Target, Notch has met the Success Criteria for all Development Milestones for at least one Product (irrespective of cell type) Directed Against such Exclusive Target, or (iii) the JDC’s determination that the Research Program cannot be reasonably pursued against any Exclusive Target due to technical infeasibility or safety issues (the “Collaboration Term”). Allogene

shall have the right to terminate the Collaboration Term by written notice if Notch materially fails to perform its obligations under the Research Plan, subject to Sections 2.1(c) and (d), and does not cure such failure within [***] days following Notch’s receipt of Allogene’s written notice of such failure. In such event, at Allogene’s request, Notch shall perform the technology transfer described in Section 2.4.

(i)During the Collaboration Term, each Party shall report to the JDC each Calendar Quarter summarizing the results and data obtained from the conduct of the Research Plan. If reasonably necessary for Allogene to perform its work under the Research Plan or to Exploit a Product or exercise its rights under the Agreement, Allogene may request that Notch provide more detailed information and data regarding such results reported by Notch, and Notch shall promptly provide Allogene with such reasonable information and data responsive to such request to the extent in Notch’s possession or control, provided that, without limiting Notch’s obligations to perform the Research Plan as set forth in this Article 2, Notch shall not be required to perform any additional work in responding to such request beyond transmitting such existing information and data in the form it exists unless Notch and Allogene agree upon reasonable additional funding (including Notch FTEs at the FTE Rate) in accordance with an agreed budget that Allogene will pay to Notch for such additional work.

2.2Notch Research and Manufacturing Facilities.

(a)Notch will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain access to laboratory and process development facilities at [***] or similar facility approved by the JDC (the “Research Facility”) at its own cost. Notch will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate a fee-for-service agreement with the Research Facility to maintain access to cGMP manufacturing resources for cGMP master cell line generation and banking to perform the Research Plan as necessary during the Collaboration Term. Such agreement shall not conflict with the terms of this Agreement or impose any obligations upon Allogene, except as expressly approved in advance in writing by Allogene. Allogene shall reimburse Notch in accordance with the Research Budget for its actual, out-of-pocket costs of the Research Facility specifically incurred for the conduct of manufacturing activities pursuant to the Research Plan.

(b)In addition, Allogene shall fully reimburse Notch in accordance with the Research Plan budget for its actual, out-of-pocket costs for Notch’s costs of maintaining cGMP facility manufacturing capacity required for Notch’s performance under this Agreement (which shall be paid on a pro rata basis if such capacity is also used for other Notch programs). If the Parties enter into a Supply Agreement, then such costs shall be addressed under the Supply Agreement. For clarity, Allogene shall not be responsible for any legal or advisory costs incurred by Notch in contracting for such capacity. Such agreement between Notch and the manufacturer shall not impose any obligations upon Allogene, except as expressly approved in advance in writing by Allogene.

2.3Transfer of Know-How and Materials for Research Program. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transfer to the other Party any Materials and Know-How specified in the Research Plan for use by such other Party in conducting the Research Program and performing its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the timeline for such transfer set forth therein. Each Party shall use the other Party’s Materials and Know-How in compliance with Applicable Law and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, all Materials and Know-How shall remain the sole property of the providing Party, and shall be returned to such Party or destroyed, in such Party’s sole discretion, upon the termination of this Agreement or, solely with respect to Allogene’s Materials and Know-How, expiration of the Collaboration Term, whichever is the earlier.

2.4Technology Transfer for Collaboration Products.

(a)For each Collaboration Product, upon the date that is [***] days following Notch’s completion of its activities under the Research Plan for such Collaboration Product or upon Allogene’s written request, the Parties will agree in writing on a plan for the transfer of Notch Know-How relating to such Collaboration Product to Allogene, or its designee, including the manufacturing process therefor (a “Technology Transfer Plan”), subject to Section 5.3 and the Supply Agreement, if and when in force. If the Parties do not execute a Supply Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3, Allogene may engage a reputable Third Party manufacturer located in the United States, Europe or Japan and transfer or instruct Notch to transfer the applicable Notch Microbead Technology (including any reagents or other factors necessary to use the Notch Microbead Technology) in accordance with Section 5.3. If the Parties do not execute a Supply Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3, Allogene may not engage a Third Party manufacturer located outside the United States, Europe or Japan without Notch’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Prior to any transfer to a Third Party manufacturer, Notch may require that the Third Party manufacturer execute an agreement with Notch, to be negotiated in good faith by Notch, that includes reasonable industry-standard measures to protect Notch Know-How relating to the applicable Collaboration Product and manufacturing process therefor, including reasonable confidentiality and non-use provisions.

(b)The Parties intend that each Technology Transfer Plan encompass the transfer to Allogene of all Notch Know-How (including tangible materials) Controlled by Notch as of the date of such transfer and that is necessary or reasonably useful to enable Allogene’s Development and manufacture of such Collaboration Product, excluding any inventory of Notch Microbead cGMP raw materials, work in process and finished Notch Microbeads, which shall be supplied solely to the extent set forth in Section 5.3 or a Supply Agreement. As soon as practical and pursuant to such Technology Transfer Plan, Notch shall commence disclosing and making available to Allogene or its designee the Notch Know-How and materials listed in the Technology Transfer Plan, according to the timeline set forth in the Technology Transfer Plan. Notch shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete such transfer within such reasonable period as the Parties shall agree in writing in the Technology Transfer Plan. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith to enable a smooth and successful transfer of such Notch Know-How to Allogene. Upon Allogene’s reasonable request, Notch shall provide reasonable technical assistance, including making appropriate personnel available to Allogene at reasonable times, places, and frequency, and upon reasonable prior notice, for the purpose of assisting Allogene to understand and use the Notch Know-How in connection with Allogene’s Development and manufacture of Collaboration Products, provided that Notch may reasonably condition such provision of assistance on Allogene’s funding of any Notch resources needed to respond to such Allogene request (including Notch FTEs at the FTE Rate) in accordance with an agreed budget.

(c)Notch shall, at Allogene’s request, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make such introductions and facilitate discussions with contract manufacturers, contract research organizations and other Third Parties that have performed services related to each Collaboration Product on behalf of Notch in order for Allogene to evaluate and potentially contract for such Third Parties’ services.

2.5Substitution of Initial Targets.

(a)During the Exclusivity Term, Allogene shall have the right to substitute each Initial Target with one (1) substitute Target. To exercise such right, Allogene shall provide Notch with written notice of its intent to substitute an Initial Target with a different Target, which notice shall identify the proposed substitute Target. Notch shall notify Allogene within [***] days following its receipt of such notice as to whether such Target is Available or, if such Target is not Available, a brief description of why such Target is not Available (for clarity, Notch shall not be required to disclose the identity of any Third Party that holds a license or option to such Target). If such Target is Available, then it shall become an Exclusive Target (and shall be deemed to be a “Substitute Target”) and such Initial Target shall cease to be an Exclusive Target and thereafter Allogene shall have no further rights under this Agreement as to such former Exclusive Target. If such Target is not Available, then Allogene shall retain the right to substitute another Target for such Initial Target as set forth above.

(b)Subject to Section 2.1, promptly following the substitution of an Initial Target with a Substitute Target, the JDC shall update the Research Plan to reflect such substitution and the activities to be performed with respect to such Substitute Target, provided that Notch shall not be obligated to undertake such additional work unless and until the Research Budget has also been modified as necessary to cover any expansion to the scope of activities to be required of Notch, which modification may increase the aggregate funding to be paid by Allogene to Notch above [***] dollars (US$[***]).

(c)Solely with respect to any Substitute Target that is not a substitute for [***], neither Allogene nor any of its Affiliates shall conduct (and shall not facilitate any Third Party to conduct) any clinical development of any Product Directed Against such Substitute Target for an indication that is not a Competitive Indication unless and until Allogene (or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) has submitted a BLA for a Product Directed Against such Substitute Target in a Competitive Indication.

2.6Target Option.

(a)Notch hereby grants to Allogene an option to add [***] additional Targets as Exclusive Targets under this Agreement, as follows: From the Effective Date through [***], Allogene shall have the right, but not the obligation, to propose in writing to Notch from time-to-time additional Targets to be added to this Agreement. Notch shall notify Allogene within [***] days following its receipt of such notice as to whether each such Target is Available or, if such Target is not Available, a brief description of why such Target is not Available (for clarity, Notch shall not be required to disclose the identity of any Third Party that holds a license or option to such Target). If such Target is Available, then Allogene shall within [***] days following its receipt of Notch’s notice of Availability notify Notch whether Allogene is exercising its option with respect to such Target. If Allogene exercises its option with respect

to such Target, then such Target shall become an “Optioned Target” and Allogene shall pay to Notch an option exercise fee therefor in accordance with Section 6.2.

(b)Subject to Section 2.1, promptly following Allogene’s exercise of its option with respect to an Optioned Target, the JDC shall update the Research Plan to reflect such substitution and the activities to be performed with respect to such Optioned Target, provided that Notch shall not be obligated to undertake such additional work unless and until the Research Budget has also been modified as necessary to cover any expansion to the scope of activities to be required of Notch, which modification may increase the aggregate funding to be paid by Allogene to Notch above [***] dollars (US$[***]).

(c)Neither Allogene nor its Affiliates shall conduct (and shall not facilitate any Third Party to conduct) any clinical development of any Product Directed Against an Optioned Target for an indication that is not a Competitive Indication unless and until Allogene (or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) has submitted a BLA for a Product Directed Against such Optioned Target in a Competitive Indication.

2.7Right of First Negotiation. During the Exclusivity Term, Notch hereby grants to Allogene a right of first negotiation with respect to each ROFN Target to acquire an exclusive (even as to Notch and its Affiliates), royalty-bearing, world-wide, sublicenseable license under Notch’s Intellectual Property Rights to Exploit CAR Products Directed Against a ROFN Target (a “ROFN License”), as follows:

(a)During the Exclusivity Term, neither Notch nor its Affiliates shall (i) initiate any IND-enabling GLP toxicity study for any CAR Product Directed Against any ROFN Target (such product, a “ROFN Product” and such study and any further studies conducted by Notch or its Affiliates, “Notch Internal R&D”), nor (ii) initiate or participate in negotiations for any agreement with a Third Party for a license, an option to acquire a license, or the sale or other transfer under Notch’s Intellectual Property Rights to Exploit any ROFN Product, unless and until the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7 have been fulfilled.

(b)If Notch or any of its Affiliates desires to undertake any activity described in subsection (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, then Notch shall provide Allogene with written notice thereof, which notice shall specify (i) the ROFN Target, (ii) a summary of the Intellectual Property Rights and data Controlled by Notch and its Affiliates relating to such ROFN Target and ROFN Product(s) and (iii) whether such notice is triggered by subsection (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above (such notice, a “ROFN Notice”).

(c)Allogene may exercise its right of first negotiation with respect to such ROFN Target at any time during the [***] days following its receipt of such ROFN Notice (the “Notification Period”), by providing to Notch a written notice of exercise during such Notification Period. If Allogene exercises such right of first negotiation, then for [***] days following Notch’s receipt of Allogene’s notice of exercise (the “Negotiation Period”), the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations regarding the commercially reasonable terms for the ROFN License. During the Negotiation Period, Notch shall provide Allogene with such reasonable additional information regarding such ROFN Target (and any existing ROFN Product(s) Directed Against such ROFN Target Controlled by Notch) and related Intellectual Property Rights as Notch may have in its possession or control and Allogene may reasonably

request, provided that Notch shall not be required to perform any work in responding to such requests beyond transmitting such existing information and data in the form it exists. The Negotiation Period shall be commensurately extended by any period of delay in Notch’s transmission of such information.

(d)If Allogene does not exercise its right of first negotiation with respect to a ROFN Target during the applicable Notification Period, or Allogene exercises such right of first negotiation and the Parties do not reach execute an agreement for such ROFN License in accordance herewith prior to the expiration of the applicable Negotiation Period, then, in each such case:

(i) If the ROFN Notice was triggered by subsection (a)(i) above, then Notch and its Affiliates shall thereafter be free to conduct Notch Internal R&D with respect to such ROFN Target, subject to subsection (a)(ii) above; and

(ii) If the ROFN Notice was triggered by subsection (a)(ii) above, then Notch and its Affiliates shall thereafter be free to grant a Third Party a ROFN License with respect to such ROFN Target. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to Notch accepting any offer to grant such ROFN License (or any other sale or transfer) to any Third Party on terms that are substantially similar to (or less favorable to Notch than) those last offered by Allogene, Allogene shall have a one-time right of first refusal whereby Notch shall offer such ROFN License (with the same terms and conditions offered by such Third Party) to Allogene in writing, and Allogene shall have [***] days following its receipt of Notch’s notice to accept such offer in writing, in which case the Parties shall promptly execute a definitive agreement on reasonable and customary terms reflecting such offer and acceptance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Allogene’s right of first refusal does not apply where a Third Party has offered Notch terms and conditions for a license to a New Target Product that are substantially better for Notch (considering the entire economic consideration to be received by Notch under such offer) than the terms and conditions last offered by Allogene.

2.8Option under Existing Notch Third Party In-License. If Notch receives a notice from [***] pursuant to Section 4.5(a) of the Existing Notch Third Party In-License regarding any Licensor Improvement (as defined in the Existing Notch Third Party In-License) that relates to the Notch Technology, then Notch shall notify Allogene of such Licensor Improvement within [***] days of Notch’s receipt of such notice. If Allogene wishes to include such Licensor Improvement in its licenses granted under Section 4.2(a) of this Agreement, then (a) Allogene shall so notify Notch within [***] days of its receipt of Notch’s notice; (b) promptly following its receipt of Allogene’s notice, Notch shall notify [***] of its interest in exercising its option under Section 4.5(a) of the Existing Notch Third Party In-License with respect to such Licensor Improvement (unless Notch has already provided such notice); and (c) the Parties shall discuss in good faith the terms for such license to such Licensor Improvement. For clarity, this Section 2.8 shall not prevent Notch from exercising such option with respect to any Licensor Improvement that Allogene does not wish to include in its licenses hereunder.

(c)During the Exclusivity Term and other than as set forth in the Research Plan, neither Notch nor any of its Affiliates shall, itself or with any Third Party, research, develop, manufacture or otherwise progress [***] (such products, together with any products described in subsection (b) above, “Competing Products”).

(d)“Exclusivity Term” means the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Exclusive Target for which Allogene is conducting (itself or through an Affiliate or Sublicensee) development or commercialization of a Product Directed Against such Exclusive Target at the end of the period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Exclusivity Term with respect to such Exclusive Target shall be extended until the earliest of [***].

4.6Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Notch to Allogene, are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Article 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that Allogene, as a licensee of such Intellectual Property Rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Notch under the Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of applicable Laws outside the United States, Allogene will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any intellectual property licensed to Allogene and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in Allogene’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon Allogene’s written request therefor, unless Notch elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a), following the rejection of this Agreement in the bankruptcy proceeding, upon written request therefor by Allogene. The Parties further agree that, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy event, each Party shall have the right to retain and enforce their rights under this Agreement.

5.DEVELOPMENT; COMMERCIALIZATION

5.1Generally. Following the completion of the technology transfer described in Section 2.4 with respect to a Collaboration Product, Allogene shall have sole responsibility for the development and commercialization of such Collaboration Product. In any event, following the Collaboration Term and for the remainder of the Term, as between the Parties, Allogene shall have sole responsibility for the development and commercialization of Products. Following the Collaboration Term, Allogene shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop and commercialize at least one (1) Product for each of (a) the treatment at least one B-Cell Malignancy and (b) the treatment of Multiple Myeloma, in each case ((a) and (b)) in the United States and in the European Union. The timelines for Allogene’s development and commercialization of the two Products set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) may vary based on the factors set forth in the definition of Commercially Reasonable Efforts relating to such Products (e.g., in some circumstances, one of such Products may progress further in development at an earlier point in time based on such factors).

5.2Reports. On an Exclusive Target-by-Exclusive Target basis, following the disbanding of the JDC, and until the First Commercial Sale of the first Product Directed Against such Exclusive Target, Allogene shall provide Notch with a written report providing a status of Allogene’s development (including registration) of Products Directed Against such Exclusive

Target annually. Such report shall cover the previous twelve (12) month period and shall be provided by Allogene no later than [***] days after each Calendar Year. Each such update shall summarize Allogene’s (either by itself or through its Affiliates and its Sublicensees) activities with respect to Exploitation of such Products.

5.3Supply of Notch Microbeads. For [***] days following Allogene’s request therefor, the Parties shall seek in good faith to negotiate the commercially reasonable terms of supply agreement pursuant to which Notch would supply to Allogene, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees the Notch Microbeads sufficient to support the development and commercialization of the Products in the Field throughout the Territory (a “Supply Agreement”), provided that Notch shall not be obligated to negotiate a Supply Agreement after [***] months after the Effective Date. If the Parties do not enter into a Supply Agreement within such [***] day period and prior to [***] months after the Effective Date (or such longer period as the Parties may agree in writing) (the “Supply Agreement Negotiation Period”), then Notch shall transfer to Allogene or its designee applicable Notch Microbead Technology (including any reagents or other factors necessary to use the Notch Microbead Technology) in accordance with Section 2.4, subject to Allogene reimbursing Notch for the cost of any tangible materials included in such transfer that were not acquired or generated using Research Budget funding previously paid by Allogene. If the Parties execute a Supply Agreement that relates to the supply of Notch Microbeads for a particular Product and Allogene thereafter requires Notch Microbeads to be supplied for an additional Product, then the Parties shall follow the procedures set forth in this Section 5.3 to amend the existing Supply Agreement for the supply of Notch Microbeads for any additional Product. For clarity, to the extent the Parties were previously unable to negotiate a Supply Agreement or amendment thereto as set forth above, Allogene shall have the right to request Notch to transfer to its designee the Notch Microbead Technology (including any reagents or other factors necessary to use the Notch Microbead Technology) in accordance with Section 2.4 for Product, subject to Allogene reimbursing Notch for the cost of any tangible materials included in such transfer that were not acquired or generated using Research Budget funding previously paid by Allogene.

(b)On the Effective Date, Allogene shall purchase [***] shares of Notch’s Series Seed convertible preferred stock at $[***] per share, pursuant to the stock purchase agreement and related agreements entered or to be entered into between the Parties of even date herewith.

6.2.Option Exercise Fee. For each Optioned Target, Allogene shall pay to Notch an option exercise fee of [***] Dollars ($[***]) within [***] days following its receipt of Notch’s invoice therefor, which invoice shall not be sent until Allogene has exercised its option with respect to such Target in accordance with Section 2.6.

6.3.Payment of Research Costs.

(a)Advance Payment. Within [***] days of the Effective Date, Allogene shall pay to Notch an amount equal to Notch’s estimated Research Costs to be incurred under the Research Plan in accordance with the Research Budget (as set forth in the initial Research Plan) for the then-current Calendar Quarter. Thereafter, for each Calendar Quarter in which Notch is anticipated to activities under the Research Plan, Notch shall submit to Allogene an invoice setting forth Notch’s estimated Research Costs to be incurred based on the then-current Research Budget for such Calendar Quarter, no later than [***] Business Days following the first day of such Calendar Quarter (the “Advance Invoice”).

(b)True-Up. Within [***] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter in which Notch has conducted activities under the Research Plan, Notch shall submit to Allogene a reasonably detailed reconciliation report setting forth the actual Research Costs incurred by or on account of Notch to conduct such activities in such Calendar Quarter and any credits or deficits from the corresponding Research Advance Invoice previously provided for such Calendar Quarter (the “True-Up Report”). If the estimated Research Costs paid by Allogene pursuant to subsection (a) above for such prior calendar quarter are less than Notch’s actual Research Costs for such quarter, then Allogene shall pay the deficit to Notch as described in this subsection (b) to the extent such amounts do not exceed the corresponding amounts in then-current Research Budget (exclusive of Research Costs incurred in accordance with Section 2.2). If the estimated Research Costs paid by Allogene pursuant to subsection (a) above for such prior Calendar Quarter are more than Notch’s actual Research Costs for such Calendar Quarter, then the excess shall be credited toward the Advance Invoice for the current Calendar Quarter (except where such invoice is the final such invoice to be provided by Notch, in which case the excess shall be refunded by Notch to Allogene within [***] days after the delivery of such invoice).

(c)Timing of Payments. For ease of administration, Allogene shall pay Notch a single payment reflecting the amount due under the Advance Invoice for the current Calendar Quarter plus any deficits (or less any credits) reflected in the True-Up Report for the prior Calendar Quarter within the later of (i) [***] days of Allogene’s receipt of such Advance Invoice, or (ii) [***] days of Allogene’s receipt of such True-Up Report. Notch shall provide Allogene with sufficient detail and supporting documentation of the costs for which payments are sought hereunder, and the periods for payment set forth above shall be commensurately extended for any delay in the provision thereof or for the resolution of any good faith dispute relating thereto. In no event shall Allogene be obligated to reimburse Notch for any amounts in excess of the corresponding funding amounts set forth in the applicable Research Budget, unless otherwise agreed in writing by an authorized representative of Allogene.

6.4.Research Milestones. In consideration for the rights granted to Allogene under this Agreement, Allogene shall make the following non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments to Notch within [***] days from Allogene’s receipt of Notch’s invoice after Notch’s achievement of the Success Criteria for the applicable milestone:


Research Milestone			Milestone Amount Due

[***]	[***]	[***]

[***]	[***]	[***]

Each of the milestone payments set forth in the table above shall be payable only once, the first time the Success Criteria for the applicable Research Milestone is achieved by Notch and irrespective of the number of Exclusive Targets with respect to which such Research Milestone is achieved. The aggregate amount payable by Allogene for all Research Milestones shall not

exceed seven million two hundred fifty thousand Dollars ($7,250,000). The determination of the achievement of each Research Milestone shall be made pursuant to Section 3.4.

6.5.Development Milestones. In consideration for the rights granted to Allogene under this Agreement, Allogene shall make the following non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments to Notch within [***] days from Allogene’s receipt of Notch’s invoice after Notch’s achievement of the Success Criteria for the applicable milestone:

Development Milestone

Milestone Amount Due

[***]

Each of the milestone payments set forth in the table above shall be payable only once per Exclusive Target, the first time the Success Criteria for the applicable Development Milestone for such Exclusive Target is achieved by Notch, and irrespective of the number of times a Development Milestone is achieved with respect to an Exclusive Target. If any Development Milestone is achieved for an Initial Target which is subsequently replaced by a Substitute Target, then such achieved Development Milestone shall not be paid for such Substitute Target; however, Allogene shall pay for any Development Milestones achieved by Notch for such Substitute Target that were not paid for such Initial Target. The aggregate amount payable by Allogene for all Development Milestones achieved by Notch with respect to an Exclusive Target (including an Initial Target and its Substitute Target, collectively) shall not exceed four million Dollars ($4,000,000). The determination of the achievement of any Development Milestone shall be made pursuant to Section 3.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Allogene shall only be required to pay one set of Development Milestones relating to any Bi-Specific Product that meets a Development Milestone and that is Directed Against two (2) or more Exclusive Targets (each a “Bi-Specific Excluded Target); provided that Allogene shall thereafter pay any additional Development Milestones that are achieved for any further Product that is Directed Against a Bi-Specific Excluded Target, subject to the limitations that each milestone payment be payable only once per Exclusive Target and that the aggregate amount payable by Allogene for all Development Milestones achieved by Notch with respect to an Exclusive Target (including an Initial Target and its Substitute Target, collectively) shall not exceed four million Dollars ($4,000,000). For example, if a Development Milestone is first achieved by a Product Directed Against an Exclusive Target and then such Development Milestone is achieved by a Bi-Specific Product Directed Against such Exclusive Target and a second Exclusive Target as to which no Product has previously achieved such Development Milestone, the applicable milestone payment shall become payable based on such achievement by such Bi-Specific Product.

6.6.Clinical and Regulatory Milestones. In consideration for the rights granted to Allogene under this Agreement, Allogene shall make the following non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments to Notch following the achievement of the following milestones by Allogene or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees:

Milestone

Milestone Amount Due for First T Cell Product

Milestone Amount Due for First NK Cell Product

[***]

Each of the milestone payments set forth in the table above shall be payable only once per Exclusive Target per Cell Type, the first time such milestone for such Exclusive Target and Cell Type is achieved, and irrespective of the number of times such milestone is achieved with respect to an Exclusive Target and Cell Type. If any milestone above is achieved for an Initial Target which is subsequently replaced by a Substitute Target, then such achieved milestone shall not be paid for such Substitute Target; however, Allogene shall pay for any milestones above achieved by Allogene or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees for such Substitute Target that were not paid for such Initial Target. The aggregate amount payable by Allogene under this Section 6.6 for all milestones achieved by Allogene, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees with respect to an Exclusive Target (including an Initial Target and its Substitute Target, collectively) shall not exceed [***] Dollars ($[***]) per Cell Type. Allogene shall notify Notch within [***] days following the achievement of any milestone above (or, if achieved by a Sublicensee, within [***] days following its receipt of notice of such achievement) and shall pay the corresponding milestone payment within [***] days following its receipt of Notch’s invoice therefor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Allogene shall only be required to pay one set of clinical and regulatory milestones relating to any Bi-Specific Product that meets a clinical or regulatory milestone and that is Directed Against two (2) or more Bi-Specific Excluded Targets; provided that Allogene shall thereafter pay any additional clinical and regulatory milestones that are achieved for any further Product that is Directed Against a Bi-Specific Excluded Target, subject to the limitations that each milestone payment be payable only once per Exclusive Target and that the aggregate amount payable by Allogene for all clinical and regulatory milestones achieved by Allogene, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees with respect to an Exclusive Target (including an Initial Target and its Substitute Target, collectively shall not exceed [***] Dollars ($[***]) per Cell Type. For example, if a clinical or regulatory milestone is first achieved by a Product Directed Against an Exclusive Target and then such clinical or regulatory milestone is achieved by a Bi-Specific Product Directed Against such Exclusive Target and a second Exclusive Target as to which no Product has previously achieved such clinical or regulatory milestone, the applicable milestone payment shall become payable based on such achievement by such Bi-Specific Product.

6.7. Commercial Milestones. In consideration for the rights granted to Allogene under this Agreement, Allogene shall make the following non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments to Notch following the achievement of the following milestones based on cumulative annual, worldwide Net Sales by Allogene or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees:

Milestone

Milestone Amount Due for First T Cell Product

Milestone Amount Due for First NK Cell Product

[***]

Each of the milestone payments set forth in the table above shall be payable only once per Exclusive Target per Cell Type, the first time such milestone for such Exclusive Target and Cell Type is achieved, and irrespective of the number of times such milestone is achieved with respect to an Exclusive Target and Cell Type. If any milestone above is achieved for an Initial Target which is subsequently replaced by a Substitute Target, then such achieved milestone shall not be paid for such Substitute Target; however, Allogene shall pay for any milestones above achieved by Allogene or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees for such Substitute Target that were not paid for such Initial Target. The aggregate amount payable by Allogene under this Section 6.7 for all milestones achieved by Allogene, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees with respect to an Exclusive Target (including an Initial Target and its Substitute Target, collectively) shall not exceed [***] Dollars ($[***]) per Cell Type. Allogene shall notify Notch contemporaneously with its provision of its royalty report under Section 6.11 for the Calendar Quarter in which such milestone was achieved and shall pay the corresponding milestone payment within [***] days following its receipt of Notch’s invoice therefor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Allogene shall only be required to pay one set of commercial milestones relating to any Bi-Specific Product that meets a commercial milestone and that is Directed Against two (2) or more Bi-Specific Excluded Targets; provided that Allogene shall thereafter pay any additional commercial milestones that are achieved for any further Product that is Directed Against a Bi-Specific Excluded Target, subject to the limitations that each milestone payment be payable only once per Exclusive Target and that the aggregate amount payable by Allogene for all commercial milestones achieved by Allogene, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees with respect to an Exclusive Target (including an Initial Target and its Substitute Target, collectively) shall not exceed [***] Dollars ($[***]) per Cell Type. For example, if a commercial milestone is first achieved by a Product Directed Against an Exclusive Target and then such commercial milestone is achieved by a Bi-Specific Product Directed Against such Exclusive Target and a second Exclusive Target as to which no Product has previously achieved such commercial milestone, the applicable milestone payment shall become payable based on such achievement by such Bi-Specific Product.

6.8.Royalties. Subject to Sections 6.9 and 6.10, following Regulatory Approval, on a an Exclusive Target-by-Exclusive Target basis and Cell Type-by-Cell Type basis, Allogene shall pay to Notch non-creditable, non-refundable royalties on aggregate annual Net Sales of all Products Directed Against such Exclusive Target in the Territory, as calculated by multiplying

the applicable royalty rate by the corresponding amount of incremental Net Sales of all such Products in the Territory in each Calendar Year as follows, provided that, in the case of Bi-Specific Products, such Products shall be deemed to be Directed Against one (but not both) of the applicable Exclusive Targets for such Bi-Specific Product (i.e., royalties for such Product shall be calculated as though the entire Product were of a single Cell Type). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) there are Net Sales of Products Directed Against one of the Exclusive Targets a Bi-Specific Product is Directed Against, such Bi-Specific Product Net Sales shall be aggregated with such Products, and (b) there are Net Sales of Products Directed Against one of the Exclusive Targets of a Bi-Specific Product and Net Sales of Products Directed Against the second Exclusive Target of a Bi-Specific Product, the Net Sales of the Bi-Specific Product shall be allocated equally between the Exclusive Targets.


Annual Net Sales	Royalty Rate for T Cell Products	Royalty Rate for NK Cell Products
For that portion of annual aggregate Net Sales of all Products of such Cell Type Directed Against a particular Exclusive Target in a Calendar Year that are less than or equal to [*] Dollars ($[*])	[***]%	[***]%
For that portion of annual aggregate Net Sales of all Products of such Cell Type Directed Against a particular Exclusive Target in a Calendar Year that are greater than [*] Dollars ($[]) and less than or equal to [] Dollars ($[*])	[***]%	[***]%
For that portion of annual aggregate Net Sales of all Products of such Cell Type Directed Against a particular Exclusive Target in a Calendar Year that are greater than [*] Dollars ($[]) and less than or equal to [] Dollars ($[*])	[***]%	[***]%
For that portion of annual aggregate Net Sales of all Products of such Cell Type Directed Against a particular Exclusive Target in a Calendar Year that are greater than [*] Dollars ($[]) and less than or equal to [] Dollars ($[*])	[***]%	[***]%
For that portion of annual aggregate Net Sales of all Products of such Cell Type Directed Against a particular Exclusive Target in a Calendar Year that are greater than [*] Dollars ($[*])	[***]%	[***]%

6.9.Royalty Floors and Offsets.

(a)If, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, there is no Valid Claim in such country that Covers the manufacture, use or sale of such Product in such country and, solely with respect to countries outside of the United States, there is no applicable Regulatory Exclusivity that covers the Product in such country at the time of sale, then the applicable royalty rate under Section 6.8 shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%), subject to Section 6.9(c).

(b)If it is Necessary or Useful for Allogene to license one or more Patent Rights from one or more Third Parties in order to Exploit any Product, whether directly or through any Allogene Affiliate or Sublicensee, then Allogene may, in its sole discretion, negotiate and obtain a license under such Patent Right(s) (each such Third Party license, or any such Third Party, referred to herein as a “Third Party License”). Any royalty otherwise payable to Notch under this Agreement with respect to Net Sales of any Product by Allogene, its Affiliates or Sublicensees will be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of the amounts paid to Third Parties pursuant to any Third Party Licenses, provided that in no event will the total royalty payable to Notch be less than [***] percent ([***]%) of the royalty amounts otherwise payable to Notch and provided that if any portion of any such reduction is limited by the immediately preceding proviso, the portion that is not permitted to be deducted may be carried forward for reduction in subsequent Calendar Quarters, subject to the limitation in the immediately preceding proviso, until such amounts have been expended. For purposes of this Section 6.9(b), (i) “Necessary” means that, without a license to use the Third Party’s Patent Right, the Exploitation of any Product in the form such Product exists at the time that the Third Party License is executed would, in Allogene’s reasonable opinion, based on written advice from counsel, infringe such Third Party’s Patent Right, and (ii) “Useful” means that Allogene has determined in its discretion that use of such Third Party’s Patent Right would enhance the commercial potential of any Product. For clarity, a Third Party License may include a license for Patent Rights and Know-How and all payments thereunder shall be subject to the offset set forth in this Section 6.9.

(c)Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, in no event shall the royalty rate on the sale of any Product in any country be reduced below [***] percent ([***]%).

6.10.Royalty Term. Royalties shall be paid under Section 7.6, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, commencing on First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country and continuing until the latest of (a) the date upon which there is no Valid Claim of the Notch Patents (including Joint Patents) in such country of sale, (b) the expiration of applicable data or other regulatory exclusivity in such country of sale or (c) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country (collectively, the “Royalty Term”). Following the Royalty Term, Allogene’s license rights under any Notch Technology with respect to such Product and country shall be perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid up and royalty-free.

6.11.Royalty Reports and Payment. Within [***] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, commencing with the Calendar Quarter during which the First Commercial Sale of the first Product is made anywhere in the Territory, Allogene shall provide Notch with a report that contains the following information for the applicable calendar quarter, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis: (a) the gross sales and Net Sales of each Product, (b) a summary of the deductions from gross sales applied in calculating Net Sales, (c) the basis for any adjustments to the royalty payable for the sale of such Product and (d) the royalty due hereunder for the sale of such Product. Concurrent with the delivery of the foregoing applicable quarterly report, Allogene shall pay in Dollars all royalties due to Notch with respect to Net Sales by Allogene and its Affiliates and Sublicensees for such Calendar Quarter.

6.12.Currency; Exchange Rate. All payments to be made by Allogene to Notch under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated by written notice from Notch. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars shall be made at the average of the closing exchange rates reported on the Oanda website (xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx/ ) with Interbank +/- 0%, or such other source as the Parties may agree in writing, for the first, middle and last business days of the applicable reporting period for the payment due.

6.13.Taxes.

(a)Withholding. If any Applicable Law requires Allogene to withhold taxes with respect to any payment to be made by Allogene pursuant to this Agreement, Allogene will notify Notch of such withholding requirement prior to making the payment to Notch and provide such reasonable assistance to Notch, including the provision of such standard documentation as may be required by a tax authority, as may be reasonably necessary in Notch’s efforts to claim an exemption from or reduction of such taxes. At Notch’s request, Allogene shall delay making any payment otherwise due hereunder in order to provide time for Notch to provide to Allogene documentation necessary to claim an exemption from or reduction of such taxes prior to withholding; for clarity, no interest shall apply during such period and Allogene shall not be required to pay any such payment to Notch on less than [***] days’ notice from Notch following such delay request that such payment is to be paid. Allogene will, in accordance with such Applicable Law withhold taxes from the amount due, remit such taxes to the appropriate tax authority, and furnish Notch with proof of payment of such taxes within [***] days following the payment. If taxes are paid to a tax authority, Allogene shall provide reasonable assistance to Notch to obtain a refund of taxes withheld, or obtain a credit with respect to taxes paid.

(b)VAT. All payments due to Notch from Allogene pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid exclusive of any value-added tax (“VAT”) (which, if applicable, shall be payable by Allogene upon receipt of a valid VAT invoice). If Notch determines that it is required to report any such tax, Allogene shall promptly provide Notch with applicable receipts and other documentation necessary or appropriate for such report. For clarity, this Section is not intended to limit Allogene’s right to deduct value-added taxes in determining Net Sales.

6.14.Interest. Any undisputed payments or portions thereof due hereunder that are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: [***], in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent.

7.TECHNOLOGY OWNERSHIP

7.1Background Technology. As between the Parties, each Party will own and retain all right, title and interest in its Background Technology.

7.2Ownership of Inventions. Ownership of all Inventions shall be assigned based on inventorship, as determined in accordance with the rules of inventorship under United States patent laws. All jointly owned Inventions shall be referred to as “Joint Technology” and each Party shall own an undivided half interest in the Joint Technology and any Patent Rights claiming such Joint Technology (“Joint Patents”). Subject to the licenses granted to the other

Party under this Agreement, and Section 8.5(c) with respect to enforcement of such Joint Technology, neither Party will have any obligation to obtain any approval or consent of, nor pay a share of the proceeds to or account to, the other Party to practice, enforce, license, assign or otherwise exploit Inventions or intellectual property included within Joint Technology, and each Party hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to require such approval, consent or accounting. Each Party agrees to execute all papers and otherwise agrees to assist the other Party as reasonably required, to perfect in the other Party the rights, title and other interests owned by such Party under this Section and Intellectual Property Rights relating thereto, as applicable.

7.3Disclosure of Research Program Inventions. Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party, in writing, no later than the occurrence of the first JDC meeting following such conception, all Research Program Inventions, including all invention disclosures or other similar documents submitted to such Party by its, or its Affiliates’, employees, agents or contractors relating to such Research Program Inventions, and shall respond promptly to reasonable requests from the other Party for additional information relating to such Research Program Inventions.

8.3Joint Patents.

(a)Subject to subsection (b) below, Allogene shall be solely responsible, at Allogene’s cost, and at its discretion, for the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Joint Patents. Allogene shall consult with Notch and keep Notch reasonably informed of the status of the Joint Patents and shall promptly provide Notch with material correspondences received from any patent authorities in connection therewith. In addition, Allogene shall promptly provide Notch with drafts of all proposed material filings and correspondences to any patent authorities with respect to the Allogene Prosecuted Patents for Notch’s review and comment prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondences. Allogene shall confer with Notch and shall take into consideration Notch’s comments in relation to such Prosecution and Maintenance, and shall use reasonable efforts to implement any reasonable changes requested by Notch towards the objective of optimizing overall patent protection for such Joint Patents prior to submitting such filings and correspondences, provided that Notch shall provide such comments within [***] days of receiving the draft filings and correspondences from Allogene. If Notch does not provide comments within such period of time, then Allogene may proceed without obtaining or considering such comments in order to continue the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Joint Patents on a timely basis in Allogene’s reasonable discretion. In case of disagreement between the Parties with respect to the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Joint Patents, the final decision shall be made by Allogene with the objective of optimizing overall patent protection for such Joint Patents.

(b)If Allogene wishes to abandon or cease Prosecution and Maintenance of any Joint Patent, Allogene shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Notch of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than [***] days prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such Joint Patent in the relevant patent office). In such case, upon Notch’s written election, Notch shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume Prosecution and Maintenance of such Joint Patent at Notch’s expense.

The Parties shall consult with each other regarding any actions to be taken with respect to such Product Infringement, including sharing all information available to such Party regarding such alleged Product Infringement.

(b)Allogene shall have the exclusive right to bring and control any legal action in connection with any Product Infringement in the Territory that relates to any Allogene Patent, at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.

(c)Subject to the terms of any applicable Notch Third Party In-License and provided that such terms have been provided to Allogene, for Product Infringement in connection with a Notch Patent or Joint Patent, Allogene shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own cost and expense, and Notch shall have the right to be represented in any action by counsel of its choice. Allogene shall have a period of [***] days after its receipt or delivery of notice under subsection (a) to elect to so enforce the applicable Notch Patents or Joint Patents in the Field in the Territory (or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Product Infringement). If Allogene fails to commence a suit to enforce the applicable Notch Patents or Joint Patents, or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Product Infringement within such period, then Notch shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take action to enforce such Notch Patents or Joint Patents, as applicable, in the Field in the Territory at its own cost and expense. In such event, promptly after the expiration of the applicable [***]-day period, or Allogene’s notice to Notch that it does not elect to enforce such Notch Patents or Joint Patents, the Parties shall meet to discuss in good faith the strategy for enforcing such Patent Rights. Notch shall reasonably consider Allogene’s views with respect to such enforcement.

(d)The Party enforcing a Patent Right under subsection (b) or (c) above shall keep the other Party reasonably informed as to the status of, and all material developments in, such action, and reasonably consider and incorporate such other Party’s input regarding the strategy and handling of such enforcement activities. Such other Party shall provide the enforcing Party reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at the enforcing Party’s request and expense, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, cooperating in discovery and joining as a party to the action if required or if reasonably beneficial for the action. Such other Party shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its choice, at its expense. In connection with any such proceeding, the Party bringing the action shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing the other Party’s

rights in, the Patent Rights that are the subject of the applicable enforcement action without the prior written consent of the other Party.

(e)Notch shall have the exclusive right to enforce the Notch Patents, other than Joint Patents, for any Infringement that is not a Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate. Allogene shall have the exclusive right to enforce the Allogene Patents for any Infringement, other than a Product Infringement, at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate. With respect to any Infringement, other than a Product Infringement, relating to any Joint Patents, each Party shall have the right to enforce such Joint Patents as its cost and its sole discretion, provided that the enforcing Party shall notify the other Party in writing promptly upon becoming aware of such Infringement.

(f)Any recoveries resulting from enforcement action relating to a claim of Product Infringement shall be first applied pro rata against payment of each Party’s costs and expenses in connection therewith. Any such recoveries in excess of such costs and expenses (the “Remainder”) shall be shared by the Parties as follows:

(i) if Allogene is the enforcing Party, the Remainder shall be allocated [***] percent ([***]%) to Allogene and [***] percent ([***]%) to Notch; and

(ii) if Notch is the enforcing Party, the Remainder shall be allocated [***] percent ([***]%) to Notch and [***] percent ([***]%) to Allogene.

(b)complying with Applicable Laws, orders of a court, or the securities laws and regulations applicable to the public sale of securities; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure requirement and, shall use its reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed;

(c)such disclosure is reasonably necessary (i) to comply with the requirements of Regulatory Authorities with respect to obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval of a Product, (ii) to Prosecute and Maintain Patent Rights hereunder; or (iii) for prosecuting or defending litigation as contemplated by this Agreement; or

(d)as expressly agreed by the Disclosing Party.

14.1Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York exclusively without regard to any conflict of law rule that would result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

14.2Force Majeure. Except with respect to payment of money, neither Party shall be liable to the other for failure or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement for the time and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by earthquake, riot, civil commotion, war, terrorist acts, strike, flood, or governmental acts or restriction, or other cause that is beyond the reasonable control of the respective Party. The Party affected by such force majeure shall provide the other Party with full particulars thereof as soon as it becomes aware of the same (including its best estimate of the likely extent and duration of the interference with its activities), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome the difficulties created thereby and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable. If the performance of any such obligation under this Agreement is delayed owing to such a force majeure for any continuous period of more than [***] days, the Parties shall consult with respect to an equitable solution, including the possibility of the mutual termination of this Agreement.

14.3Relationship. The Parties agree that the relationship of Notch and Allogene established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors. Furthermore, the Parties agree that this Agreement does not, is not intended to, and shall not be construed to, establish an employment, agency or any other relationship. Except as may be specifically provided herein, neither Party shall have any right, power or authority, nor shall they represent themselves as having any authority to assume, create or incur any expense, liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party, or otherwise act as an agent for the other Party for any purpose. Neither Party shall report the relationship between the Parties arising under this Agreement as a partnership for United States tax purposes without the prior written consent of the other Party unless required by a final “determination” as defined in Section 1313 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement, without the written consent of the other Party, to its Affiliate or an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party to which this Agreement pertains (whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale or otherwise), and agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No assignment or transfer of this Agreement shall be valid and effective unless and until the assignee/transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Parties, provided that, the exclusivity provisions applicable to Notch pursuant to Section 4.5 shall not apply to any acquiror or successor-in-interest to Notch or any Affiliate of any such acquiror or successor-in-interest, in

any case that was not an Affiliate of Notch prior to an applicable Change of Control transaction involving Notch (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the exception from the exclusivity provisions set forth in this proviso shall not permit the use of any Notch Technology for activities that would otherwise be restricted by the exclusivity provisions applicable to Notch pursuant to Section 4.5). Except as expressly provided in this Section, any attempted assignment or transfer of this Agreement shall be null and void.

14.5Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 14.4, Notch shall provide written notice to Allogene upon its intention to sell all or substantially all of its business or assets (whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale or otherwise) (a “CIC Transaction”) at least [***] days prior to entering into a binding agreement for such sale or exclusivity agreement regarding the negotiation of such sale.

14.6Representation by Legal Counsel. Each Party represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption shall exist or be implied against the Party that drafted such terms and provisions.

14.7Waiver. Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition.
