 Re: Confirmatory Employment Letter

 Dear Peter: 
 This confirmatory
employment letter agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between Peter Garcia (“you”) and ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “we”), effective as of
July 9, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), to confirm the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company as of the Effective Date. 

1. Title; Position; Location. You will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. You also will continue to
report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and will perform the duties and responsibilities customary for such position and such other related duties as are lawfully assigned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. You will perform
your duties from the Company’s corporate offices located in Burlingame, California (with the exception of the period during which any current shelter-in-place order
or similar work-from-home arrangement affecting your employment with the Company remains in effect), subject to customary travel as reasonably required by the Company and necessary to perform your job duties. 

2. Best Efforts. You will continue to devote your full business time and best efforts to the faithful and loyal performance of your
duties to the Company (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity). While you render services to the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity
(whether full-time or part-time) that would create a conflict of interest with the Company, and any engagement or participation in any outside business activity or business affairs by you will be subject to full disclosure and prior written approval
from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or its Compensation Committee, as applicable. The Board has approved the outside activities set forth in Appendix A, as long as such activities are of a non-operational nature and do not interfere with the performance of your duties under this Agreement, and provided that such matters do not involve matters that are competitive with the Company’s actual or
anticipated business. You may engage in charitable and community activities as well as own, as a passive investment, less than two percent (2%) of the capital stock of any corporation listed on the national securities exchange or publicly traded in
the over-the-counter market, provided that such activities do not interfere with the performance of your duties under this Agreement. By signing this Agreement, you
confirm that you have no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from continuing to perform your duties for the Company. 












 3. Base Salary. As of the Effective Date, your annual base salary will be $400,000
(“Salary”), which will be payable, less any applicable withholdings, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. Our Board and its Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) have approved that,
provided you remain employed through the Company’s initial public offering, your Salary will be increased to $440,000 effective as of the effective date of the Company’s registration statement relating to such initial public offering. Your
annual base salary will be subject to review and adjustment from time to time by our Board or the Committee, as applicable, in its sole discretion. 

4. Annual Bonus. For the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, you will have the opportunity to earn a target annual cash bonus equal to
forty percent (40%) of your annual base salary earned during the fiscal year, based on achieving performance objectives established by the Board or Committee, as applicable, in its sole discretion and payable upon achievement of those objectives as
determined by the Committee. Unless determined otherwise by the Board or Committee, as applicable, any such bonus will be subject to your continued employment through and until the date of payment, and any such bonus amounts paid will be subject to
any applicable withholdings. Your annual bonus opportunity and the applicable terms and conditions may be adjusted from time to time by our Board or the Committee, as applicable, in its sole discretion. 

5. Equity Awards. You will be eligible to receive awards of stock options or other equity awards pursuant to any plans or arrangements
the Company may have in effect from time to time. The Board or Committee, as applicable, will determine in its sole discretion whether you will be granted any such equity awards and the terms of any such award in accordance with the terms of any
applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time. 
 6. Employee Benefits. You will continue to be eligible to
participate in the benefit plans and programs established by the Company for its employees from time to time, subject to their applicable terms and conditions, including without limitation any eligibility requirements. The Company will reimburse you
for reasonable travel or other expenses incurred by you in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of your duties under this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as may be in effect
from time to time. The Company reserves the right to modify, amend, suspend or terminate the benefit plans, programs, and arrangements it offers to its employees at any time. 

7. Severance. You will be eligible to enter into a Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the “Severance
Agreement”) applicable to you based on your position within the Company. Any Severance Agreement will become effective as of the business day immediately prior to the effective date of the Company’s registration statement relating to
the Company’s initial public offering. The Severance Agreement will specify the severance payments and benefits you may become entitled to receive in connection with certain qualifying terminations of your employment with the Company. For
purposes of clarity, other than any vesting acceleration benefits set forth in the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and the award agreements thereunder governing the terms of your stock options to purchase shares of Company common
stock granted thereunder (to the extent not modified or superseded by your Severance Agreement), any severance payments, benefits and arrangements that may have applied to you before the Effective Date no longer will apply, and you will have no
rights or entitlements under any such plans, programs, agreements or arrangements.

 8. Confidentiality Agreement. As an employee of the Company, you will continue to
have access to certain confidential information of the Company and you may, during the course of your employment, develop certain information or inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interests of the Company, your
acceptance of this Agreement confirms that the terms of the Company’s Employee Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Interference Agreement you previously signed with the Company (the
“Confidentiality Agreement”) still apply. 
 9. At-Will Employment. This
Agreement does not imply any right to your continued employment for any period with the Company or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of the Company. Your employment with the Company is and will continue to be
at-will, as defined under applicable law. This Agreement and any provisions under it will not interfere with or limit in any way your or the Company’s right to terminate your employment relationship with
the Company at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. 
 10. Protected Activity Not Prohibited.
The Company and you acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement limits or prohibits you from filing and/or pursuing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or
proceeding that may be conducted by, any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and
the National Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”), including disclosing documents or other information as permitted by law, without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the Company. In addition, nothing in
this Agreement is intended to limit employees’ rights to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of their employment, nor to deny employees the right to disclose information pertaining to sexual harassment or any unlawful or
potentially unlawful conduct, as protected by applicable law. You further understand that you are not permitted to disclose the Company’s attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work product. In addition, you acknowledge that the
Company has provided you with notice in compliance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 regarding immunity from liability for limited disclosures of trade secrets. The full text of the notice is attached in
Appendix B. 
 11. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality
Agreement, the Severance Agreement and the stock options granted to you by the Company under its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements thereunder, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding
the material terms and conditions of your employment, and they supersede and replace all prior negotiations, representations or agreements between you and the Company. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California but
without regard to the conflict of law provision. This Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than yourself) and you.
