Exhibit 10.2
Execution Copy
This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 5, 2007,
is by and between Cell Genesys, Inc. (the “Company”) and Kingsbridge Capital Limited, an
entity organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, whose registered
address is Palm Grove House, 2nd Floor, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (the
“Investor”).
WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor have entered into that certain Common Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the
Company may issue, from time to time, to the Investor up to $75,000,000 worth of shares of Common
Stock as provided for therein;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of, and in partial consideration for the Investor entering
into, the Purchase Agreement, the Company has issued to the Investor a warrant, exercisable from
time to time, in accordance with its terms, within five (5) years following the six-month
anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Warrant”) for the purchase of an aggregate of up
to 421,918 shares of Common Stock at a price specified in such Warrant; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of, and in partial consideration for, the Investor’s agreement
to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide the Investor with certain
registration rights with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements contained herein, in the Warrant and in the Purchase Agreement, and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, intending
to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows (capitalized terms used herein and
not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement):
ARTICLE I
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 1.1. Registration Statement.
(a) Filing of the Registration Statement. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall file with the Commission within sixty
(60) calendar days after the Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities
Act or such other form as deemed appropriate by counsel to the Company for the registration for the
resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”).
(b) Effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts (i) to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as
soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than one hundred eighty (180) calendar
days after the Closing Date and (ii) to ensure that the Registration Statement remains in effect
throughout the term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 4.2, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
(c) Regulatory Disapproval. The contemplated effective date for the Registration
Statement as described in Section 1.1(b) shall be extended without default or liquidated damages
hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement in the event that the Company’s failure to obtain the
effectiveness of the
Registration Statement on a timely basis results from (i) the failure of the
Investor to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to
complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, or
(ii) the Commission’s disapproval of the structure of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, or (iii) events or circumstances that are not in any way attributable to the Company. In
the event of clause (ii) above, the parties agree to cooperate with one another in good faith to
arrive at a resolution acceptable to the Commission.
(d) Failure to Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. In the event the
Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (or the Prospectus)
throughout the period set forth in Section 4.2, other than temporary suspensions as set forth in
Section 1.1(e), and the Investor holds any Registrable Securities at any time during the period of
such ineffectiveness (an “Ineffective Period”), the Company shall pay to the Investor in
immediately available funds into an account designated by the Investor an amount equal to the
product of (x) the total number of Registrable Securities issued to the Investor under the Purchase
Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares) and owned by
the Investor at any time during such Ineffective Period and (y) the result, if greater than zero,
obtained by subtracting the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately following the last day of such
Ineffective Period from the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which any such
Ineffective Period began; provided, however, (i) that the foregoing payments shall
not apply in respect of Registrable Securities that are otherwise freely tradable by the Investor
or if the Company offers to repurchase from the Investor such Registrable Securities for a per
share purchase price equal to the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which
any such Ineffective Period began and (ii) that the Company shall be under no obligation to
supplement the Prospectus to reflect the issuance of any Shares pursuant to a Draw Down at any time
prior to the day following the Settlement Date with respect to such Shares and that the failure to
supplement the Prospectus prior to such time period shall not be deemed a failure to maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement (or Prospectus) for purposes of this Agreement
(including this Section 1.1(d)).
(e) Deferral or Suspension During a Blackout Period. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 1.1(d), if in the good faith judgment of the Company, following consultation with legal
counsel, it would be detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for the Registration Statement
to be filed or for resales of Registrable Securities to be made pursuant to the Registration
Statement due to (i) the existence of a material development or potential material development
involving the Company that the Company would be obligated to disclose or incorporate by reference
in the Registration Statement, which disclosure would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such
time or would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or its stockholders, or (ii) a filing
of a Company-initiated registration of any class of its equity securities, which, in the good faith
judgment of the Company, because such filing of the Registration Statement or continued resale
would adversely affect or require premature disclosure of the filing of such Company-initiated
registration (notice thereof, a “Blackout Notice”), the Company shall have the right to (A)
immediately defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days beyond the date by
which such Registration Statement was otherwise required hereunder to be filed or (B) suspend use
of such Registration Statement for a period of not more than thirty (30) days (any such deferral or
suspension period, a “Blackout Period”). The Investor acknowledges that it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to be
filed (or remain in effect) during a Blackout Period and therefore essential to defer such filing
(or suspend the use thereof) during such Blackout Period and agrees to cease any disposition of the
Registrable Securities during such Blackout Period. The Company may not utilize any of its rights
under this Section 1.1(e) to defer the filing of a Registration Statement (or suspend its
effectiveness) more than six (6) times in any twelve (12) month
period. In the event that, within thirty (30) calendar days following any Settlement Date,
the Company gives a Blackout Notice to the Investor and the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately
preceding such Blackout Period (“Old VWAP”) is greater than the VWAP on the first Trading
Day following such
2
Blackout Period that the Investor may sell its Registrable Securities pursuant
to an effective Registration Statement (“New VWAP”), then the Company shall pay to the
Investor, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor,
the Blackout Amount (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Blackout
Amount” means the lesser of (x) the product of (i) the total number of Registrable Securities
issued to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and owned by the Investor immediately
prior to the Blackout Period and (ii) the result obtained by subtracting the New VWAP from the Old
VWAP, (y) 90% of the most recent Draw Down Amount and (z) 80% of the Maximum Draw Down Amount;
provided, however, that no Blackout Amount shall be payable in respect of
Registrable Securities (A) that are otherwise freely tradable by the Investor, including under Rule
144, during the Blackout Period, or (B) if the Company offers to repurchase from the Investor such
Registrable Securities for a per share purchase price equal to the VWAP on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the day on which any such Blackout Period began. For any Blackout Period in
respect of which a Blackout Amount becomes due and payable, rather than paying the Blackout Amount,
the Company may at is sole discretion, issue to the Investor shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate market value determined as of the first Trading Day following such Blackout Period equal
to the Blackout Amount (“Blackout Shares”).
(f) Liquidated Damages. The Company and the Investor hereto acknowledge and agree
that the amounts payable under Sections 1.1(d) and 1.1(e) and the Blackout Shares deliverable under
Section 1.1(e) above (i) shall constitute the Investor’s sole remedy with respect to the Company’s
failure to maintain the effectiveness, or for any deferral or suspension, of the Registration
Statement, and (ii) shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further
acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Investor is
incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in such subsections
bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss
likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the
Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation
regarding the question of actual damages, and (iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated
business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel
and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length. The Investor further agrees that, if the Company
makes the payments provided for in Section 1.1(e), the Company’s deferral or suspension of the
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 1.1(e) shall not constitute a material breach or default
of any obligation of the Company to the Investor.
(g) Additional Registration Statements. In the event and to the extent that the
Registration Statement fails to register a sufficient amount of Common Stock necessary for the
Company to issue and sell to the Investor and the Investor to purchase from the Company all of the
Registrable Securities to be issued, sold and purchased under the Purchase Agreement and the
Warrant, the Company shall, upon a timetable mutually agreeable to both the Company and the
Investor, prepare and file with the Commission an additional registration statement or statements
in order to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant.
ARTICLE II

Section 2.1. Filings; Information. The Company shall effect the registration with
respect to the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor in accordance with the intended

3
(a) Subject to Section 1.1(e), the Company shall (i) prepare and file with the Commission the
Registration Statement; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filed Registration
Statement to become and to remain effective (pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or
otherwise); (iii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep
such Registration Statement effective for the time period prescribed by Section 4.2 and in order to
effectuate the purpose of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant and (iv) comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the Investor set forth in such Registration Statement; provided,
however, that the Company shall be under no obligation to supplement the Prospectus to
reflect the issuance of any Shares pursuant to a Draw Down at any time prior to the Trading Day
following the Settlement Date with respect to such Shares and, provided further,
that the Investor shall be responsible for the delivery of the Prospectus to the Persons to whom
the Investor sells the Shares and the Warrant Shares, and the Investor agrees to dispose of
Registrable Securities in compliance with the plan of distribution described in the Registration
Statement and otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
(b) Three (3) Trading Days prior to filing the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto (excluding amendments deemed to result from the filing of documents
incorporated by reference therein, supplements to the Prospectus required in respect of any
particular Settlement Date, and supplements to the Registration Statement for which consent of or
notice to the Investor is not required pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Purchase Agreement), the
Company shall deliver to the Investor and to counsel representing the Investor, in accordance with
the notice provisions of Section 4.8, copies of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and/or any
amendments or supplements thereto as proposed to be filed, together with exhibits thereto, which
documents will be subject to review by the Investor and such counsel, and thereafter deliver to the
Investor and such counsel, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 4.8, such number of
copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including
all exhibits thereto), the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other
documents or information as the Investor or counsel may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities, provided, however, that to the
extent reasonably practicable, such delivery may be accomplished via electronic means.
(c) After the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly notify the
Investor of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission in connection therewith and take
commercially reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to have such
stop order lifted, as the case may be.
(d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the
Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of each jurisdiction in the
United States as the Investor may reasonably (in light of its intended plan of distribution)
request, and (ii) cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other
governmental agencies or authorities in the United States as may be necessary by virtue of the
business and operations of the Company and do any and all other customary acts and things that may
be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to
qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this Section 2.1(d), subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, consent
or subject itself to general service of process in any such jurisdiction,
change any existing business practices, benefit plans or outstanding securities or amend or
otherwise modify the Charter or Bylaws.
4
(e) The Company shall make available to the Investor (and will deliver to Investor’s counsel),
(A) subject to restrictions imposed by the United States federal government or any agency or
instrumentality thereof, copies of all public correspondence between the Commission and the Company
concerning the Registration Statement and will also make available for inspection by the Investor
and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by the Investor (collectively, the
“Inspectors”), (B) upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours all
financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company (collectively, the
“Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence
responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers and employees to supply all information reasonably
requested by any Inspectors in connection with the Registration Statement; provided,
however, that (i) the Company shall not be obligated to disclose any portion of the Records
consisting of either (A) material non-public information or (B) confidential information of a third
party and (ii) any such Inspectors must agree in writing for the benefit of the Company not to use
or disclose any such Records except as provided in this Section 2.1(e). Records disclosed
hereunder that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies the
Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless the disclosure or
release of such Records is requested or required pursuant to oral questions, interrogatories,
requests for information or documents or a subpoena or other order from a court of competent
jurisdiction or other judicial or governmental process; provided, however, that
prior to any disclosure or release pursuant to the immediately preceding clause, the Inspectors
shall provide the Company with prompt notice of any such request or requirement so that the Company
may seek an appropriate protective order or waive such Inspectors’ obligation not to disclose such
Records; and, provided, further, that if failing the entry of a protective order or
the waiver by the Company permitting the disclosure or release of such Records, the Inspectors,
upon advice of counsel, are compelled to disclose such Records, the Inspectors may disclose that
portion of the Records that counsel has advised the Inspectors that the Inspectors are compelled to
disclose; provided, however, that upon any such required disclosure, such Inspector
shall use his or her best efforts to obtain reasonable assurances that confidential treatment will
be afforded such information. The Investor agrees that information obtained by it solely as a
result of such inspections (not including any information obtained from a third party who, insofar
as is known to the Investor after reasonable inquiry, is not prohibited from providing such
information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Company) shall be deemed
confidential and shall not be used for any purposes other than as indicated above or by it as the
basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company or its affiliates unless and
until such information is made generally available to the public. The Investor further agrees that
it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent
jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.
(f) The Company shall otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, including, without limitation, compliance with applicable reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act.
(g) The Company shall appoint (or shall have appointed) a transfer agent and registrar for all
of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement not later than the effective
date of such Registration Statement.
(h) The Investor shall cooperate with the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company, in
connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder. The Company
may require the Investor to promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information as may be
required in connection with such registration including, without limitation, all such information
as may be
requested by the Commission or the NASD or any state securities commission and all such
information regarding the Investor, the Registrable Securities held by the Investor and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities. The Investor agrees to provide such
information requested in
5
connection with such registration within five (5) Business Days after
receiving such written request and the Company shall not be responsible for any delays in obtaining
or maintaining the effectiveness of the Registration Statement caused by the Investor’s failure to
timely provide such information.
(i) Upon receipt of a Blackout Notice from the Company, the Investor shall immediately
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering
such Registrable Securities until (i) the Company advises the Investor that the Blackout Period has
terminated and (ii) the Investor receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus, if
necessary. If so directed by the Company, the Investor will deliver to the Company (at the expense
of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in
the Investor’s possession (other than a limited number of file copies) of the prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice.
Section 2.2. Registration Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 10.01 of the

all registration, filing, securities exchange listing and fees required by the National Association

by the Company in connection with such registration and amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and Prospectus, and (viii) premiums and other costs of the Company for

investment bankers, including without limitation underwriting fees, discounts, transfer taxes or
commissions, and any other fees or expenses (including legal fees and expenses) if any,
attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities, shall be payable by each holder of Registrable
Securities pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities of each such holder that
are included in a registration under this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 3.1. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents, and

authorized agents, and any Controlling Person, may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such Damages (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
6
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Registration Statement, or in any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
summary prospectus, amendment or supplement relating to the Registrable Securities or arises out
of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein under the circumstances not
misleading, and shall reimburse the Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers, directors,

expenses reasonably incurred by the Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers, directors,
employees and duly authorized agents, or any such Controlling Person, as incurred, in investigating
or defending or preparing to defend against any such Damages or actions or proceedings;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the extent that any such
Damages arise out of the Investor’s (or any other indemnified Person’s) failure to send or give a
copy of the final prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented) to the persons
asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such person if such

indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner as set forth in the
preceding paragraph, the Company, each of its partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees
and duly authorized agents of such controlling Person (each a “Company Indemnified Person”)
against any Damages to which any Company Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Damages arise out of or are based upon (a) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, or in any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or
supplement relating to the Registrable Securities or arise out of, or are based upon, any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein under the circumstances not misleading to the extent that such

securities under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority other than
the Securities Act. The provisions of this Article III shall be in addition to any other rights to
indemnification, contribution or other remedies which an Indemnified Party or a Company Indemnified
Person may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.
To the extent that any indemnification provided for herein is prohibited or limited by law,
the indemnifying party will make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it
would otherwise be liable under this Article III to the fullest extent permitted by law. However,
(a) no
7
contribution will be made under circumstances where maker of such contribution would not
have been required to indemnify the indemnified party under the fault standards set forth in this
Article III, (b) if the Investor is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) the Investor will not be entitled to contribution from any
Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (c) contribution (together with
any indemnification obligations under this Agreement) by the Investor will be limited in amount to
the proceeds received by the Investor from sales of Registrable Securities.
ARTICLE IV

them.
