Dear Tim: 
 This letter agreement (“Option
Extension Agreement”) is to confirm the understanding that Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”) and GlobeImmune, Inc. (“Globeimmune”) have reached regarding the conduct of a phase 2/3 clinical trial with the GI-4000 Drug
Candidate in resected pancreas cancer (the “Phase 2/3 Trial”). 
 The Phase 2/3 Trial will be in resected pancreas cancer that shall
be subject to approval by the JRC pursuant to the Collaboration and Option Agreement, by and between Celgene and GlobeImmune, dated May 14, 2009, as amended (the “Agreement”). The phase 2 portion of the Phase 2/3 Trial will enroll a
minimum of 100 subjects and will use as a minimum a 1-year RFS endpoint for (a) prospectively validating a pre-selection proteomic signature which is associated with improved RFS and OS in the GI-4000 treated arm of GI-4000-02, and
(b) obtaining more precision on the total sample size needed for the phase 3 portion of the Phase 2/3 Trial. The complete details of the Phase 2/3 Trial protocol will be agreed to between the Parties through the JRC. 

The Celgene Program Option Period, as more fully described in the Agreement, shall be extended through to the Completion of the phase 2 portion of this
new Phase 2/3 Trial. Specifically, Celgene’s right to exercise the Celgene Program Option will be extended to [*] following the delivery by GlobeImmune of a new Initial Development Program Report that includes complete top line data from a
locked database using validated programs for the primary and secondary endpoints specific to the new phase 2 proof of concept portion of the new Phase 2/3 Trial and such additional information and access to GI-4000 Drug Candidate records as Celgene
may reasonably request consistent with Completion of a Clinical Trial. 
 In order for this Option Extension Agreement to be effective, Celgene
shall elect to purchase $4.9 million of Globelmmune’s equity securities (the “Option Extension Stock”) by March 31, 2013 as part of an offering that would provide GlobeImmune sufficient funds to pay the estimated initial phase 2
portion of the Phase 2/3 Trial through delivery of the Initial Development Program Report. If Celgene does not purchase the Option Extension Stock by March 31, 2013, this Option Extension Agreement shall be void and the terms of the Agreement
shall continue in full force. 
 As additional consideration for the Option Extension Agreement, the royalty rate for GI-4000 Licensed Products
at each tier under the terms of the Agreement will be increased, as follows, provided Celgene has purchased the Option Extension Stock, and GlobeImmune has satisfied the criteria set up above for the new Phase 2/3 Trial data as delivered in the new
Initial Development Program Report:
