Form of Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.2 
 CELL GENESYS, INC. 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of
                     by and between Cell Genesys, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                    , an individual (“Indemnitee”). 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly
qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company; 
 WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to
the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law; 
 WHEREAS, the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (together with the Bylaws, the “Charter Documents”) require indemnification of
the officers and directors of the Company, and Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”); 
 WHEREAS, the Charter Documents and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby
contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification; 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for the Company’s directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries, the significant and continual
increases in the cost of such insurance and the general trend of insurance companies to reduce the scope of coverage of such insurance; 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the
availability and scope of coverage of liability insurance provide increasing challenges for the Company; 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not
regard the protection currently provided by applicable law, the Company’s governing documents and available insurance as adequate under the present circumstances, and the Indemnitee and certain other directors, officers, employees, agents and
fiduciaries of the Company may not be willing to continue to serve in such capacities without additional protection; 

 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the
increased difficulty in attracting and retaining highly qualified persons such as Indemnitee is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased
certainty of such protection in the future; and 
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate
itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and
agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of
the Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee is removed or terminated, as applicable, or tenders his or her resignation. Indemnitee may tender the resignation at any time in his or her sole and absolute
discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and the Indemnitee acknowledge that the Indemnitee’s employment, if any, is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. 
 Section 2. Definitions 
 As used
in this Agreement: 
 (a) “Corporate Status” means a person who is or was a member of the Company’s board of directors
(“director”) or officer of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership or joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company. 
 (b) “Enterprise” shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary. 
 (c)
“Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage,
delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with defending, preparing to defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding.
Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal bond or
its equivalent. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee. 
 (d) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, selected by Indemnitee that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently
is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to indemnification 

 
matters), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
“Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 
 (e) The term “Proceeding” shall include
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, formal or informal government or self-regulatory agency investigation or inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or
completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee or of any action on the Indemnitee’s part while acting as director or officer of the Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at
the time any Expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or any Advance of Expenses can be provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that the term “Proceeding” shall not include any action, suit or
arbitration initiated by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. 
 Section 3. Indemnity in Third-Party
Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding, other than a
Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement in connection with such Proceeding without prior written consent of the
Company, and the Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for such settlement without prior written consent of the Company. The Company shall be permitted to enter into a settlement on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding except that such settlement shall not impose any penalty, adverse admission, or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnity’s prior written consent. 
 Section 4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in 

 
connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable
to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the Delaware Court or such other court shall deem proper, which determination shall, for the avoidance of doubt,
satisfy the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. 
 Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly
or Partly Successful. Without limiting any other rights of the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, (a) to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to or a participant in and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith; and (b) if Indemnitee is not wholly
successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section the term “successful” shall include, but not be limited to, (i) any termination,
withdrawal, or dismissal (with or without prejudice) of such Proceeding without any express finding of liability or guilt against Indemnitee, (ii) the expiration of 120 days after the making of such Proceeding without the institution of the
same and without any promise or payment made to induce a settlement, or (iii) the settlement of such Proceeding pursuant to which the Indemnitee pays less than $10,000 irrespective of whether other parties make payments which may be deemed to
be on behalf of Indemnitee. 
 Section 6. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. 
 Section 7. Additional Indemnification. 
 (a) Subject to any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee is a
party to or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. 
 (b) For purposes of Section 7(a), the meaning of the phrase
“to the fullest extent permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to: 
 (i) to the fullest extent permitted by the
provision of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL or such provision thereof; and 

 (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL
adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors. 
 Section 8. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity: 
 (a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to
(i) any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision or (ii) with respect to any insurance policy to the extent paid for by the Indemnitee, any increase in premiums resulting from the amount paid
under such policy; 
 (b) for discouragement or return of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of
securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; 
 (c) for any claim, issue or matter initiated or brought by Indemnitee, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or
enforce a right to receive Expenses or indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Charter Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification or (ii) if the Board has approved the
initiation or bringing of such claim; 
 (d) for which payment is prohibited by applicable law; or 
 (e) for any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have (a) entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or
(b) received a final, unappealable judgment or verdict of guilty or its equivalent in any criminal proceeding. 
 Section 9.
Advances of Expenses Prior to or During a Proceeding. The Company shall pay in advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding prior to disposition of such Proceeding (an
“Advance”). The Company shall pay from time to time any Advance within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such Advance (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee
in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not
be included with the invoice). Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to 

 
indemnification under Sections 11 and 12 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses
incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right to an Advance, whether such Expenses are incurred before or after the disposition of the Proceeding for which enforcement of this right to an Advance is pursued. The Indemnitee shall qualify for
Advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement which shall constitute an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to the fullest extent required by law to repay all Advances if and to the extent that it is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, regardless of whether such determination is subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 9 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for
which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 8. 
 Section 10. Procedure for Notification. Indemnitee agrees to notify
promptly the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or any Advance of Expenses
covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or otherwise. 
 Section 11. Procedure to Determine Indemnification and Any Repayment of Advances After Disposition of a Proceeding. 
 (a) After the Indemnitee has made a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10, then promptly following disposition of a Proceeding,
a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification and to retain any Advances given to Indemnitee shall be made in the specific case by majority vote of the directors who are neither parties nor threatened to be made
parties, to any Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum (in either case, the “Disinterested Directors”) or, if
there are no Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within thirty (30) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall
cooperate with the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel, as applicable, making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel,
as applicable, upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs
or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel, as applicable, shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
 (b)
The Independent Counsel, if any, shall be selected by Indemnitee. The Company may, within ten (10) days after written notice of such selection, deliver to the Indemnitee a written objection to such selection; provided, however,
that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with

 
particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such
written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days
after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, and the final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected
and not objected to, the Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of
a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon
the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards
of professional conduct then prevailing). 
 Section 12. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 
 (a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel, as applicable,
making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification. Neither the failure of the Company nor of the Disinterested Directors or
Independent Counsel, as applicable, to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any Advance or indemnification action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the
applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company or by the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel, as applicable, that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense available to the
Company to the Advance or indemnification action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct necessary to obtain an Advance or indemnification. 
 (b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty or
nolo contendere other than to a felony, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. 
 (c) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith (i) in any action that does not require,
as an element of the claim or cause of action, the establishment of any state of mind inconsistent with a finding of good faith or (ii) if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including
financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or the Board or counsel selected by any committee of the Board or on
information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by 

 
an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or the Board or
any committee of the Board. The provisions of this Section 12(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in this Agreement. 
 (d) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise
shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. 
 Section 13.
Remedies of Indemnitee. 
 (a) Subject to Section 13(e), in the event that (i) a determination is made by the Disinterested
Directors (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not by the Independent Counsel) pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) any Advance of Expenses is not timely made
pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the request for
indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor,
or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 7 of this Agreement is not made within thirty (30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
an adjudication by a court of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or any Advance of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first
has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under
Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. 
 (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made by the Disinterested Directors pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or an Advance of Expenses, as the case may be. 
 (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company
shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make
Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 

 (d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of
this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or any Advance of Expenses from the Company under this
Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company only if Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, Advance of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the
case may be, in the suit for which indemnification or an Advance is being sought. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary but without in any way limiting the Indemnitee’s right to Advances under Section 9, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the disposition of the
Proceeding. 
 Section 14. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Reasonable Assistance; Subrogation. 
 (a) No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement
in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that after the date of this Agreement a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial
decision, permits greater indemnification or Advances of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter Documents and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater
benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 
 (b) The Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to (a) maintain an insurance
policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise and (b) to provide that until at least the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date of expiration of the Indemnitee’s period of service with the Company (the “Six-Year Period”), Indemnitee shall be covered by such
policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant
to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective
policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 (c) Indemnitee hereby agrees that during the Six-Year Period he or she shall provide reasonable
assistance to the Company in investigating, responding to, pursuing, or defending against a Proceeding, including the giving of truthful oral or written testimony, provided that (x) the Company compensates the Indemnitee at a daily rate
commensurate with the Indemnitee’s final salary with the Company (or in the case of a former director of the Company a cash per diem determined by the Board in its sole discretion but in no event less than the then actual cash rate payable to
directors per Board ordinary meeting or if no such rate, the recurring annual cash rate divided by the number of ordinary Board meetings) for all time spent by the Indemnitee at the Company’s request on such assistance; and (y) the
Indemnitee’s cooperation does not waive or impair her or his rights under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, or any like privilege or immunity against self-incrimination; provided further, that an assertion of such privilege
or immunity shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met an applicable standard of conduct. 
 (d) In the event of any
payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including
execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
 (e) The Company shall not be
liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which any Advances are provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any other
indemnification or contribution agreement or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise except, with respect to any insurance policy to the extent paid for by the Indemnitee, any increase in premiums resulting from the amount paid under
such policy. 
 (f) The Company’s obligation to provide indemnification or any Advance of Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as
indemnification or an Advance of Expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. 
 Section 15. Survival; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs,
executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the
Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession
had taken place. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in Corporate Status even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of
any Proceeding. 

 Section 16. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing
any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law;
(b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as
to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 
 Section 17. Enforcement; Entire Agreement. 
 (a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce
Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, as applicable, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company, as applicable. 
 (b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
indemnifications obligations of the Company pursuant to the Charter Documents, except as required by the DGCL, and all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof. 
 Section 18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, waiver, or amendment of this Agreement or any
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall
any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 Section 19. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company
in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or any Advance of Expenses covered hereunder. The
failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise. 
 Section 20. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted
for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, 

 
(b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by
reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or (d) sent by confirmed facsimile transmission:

 (b) If to the Company to:

of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of
any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. 

 Section 23. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be

 Exhibit 10.3 
 CELL GENESYS, INC. 
 CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 This Change of Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between
                     (“Employee”) and Cell Genesys, Inc. (the “Company”), effective as of the latest date set forth by the
signatures of the parties hereto below (the “Effective Date”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change of control. The Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to the Employee and can cause the Employee to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the
Company. 
 B. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to provide the Employee with an incentive to continue
his employment and to motivate the Employee to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its shareholders. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide the Employee with certain severance benefits upon
Employee’s Involuntary Termination following a Change of Control which provides the Employee with enhanced financial security and provides incentive and encouragement to the Employee to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of
a Change of Control. 
 C. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide the Employee with certain severance benefits upon Employee’s Involuntary
Termination which provides the Employee with enhanced financial security and provides incentive and encouragement to the Employee to remain with the Company. 
 D. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 6 below. 
 The parties hereto agree as follows:

 1. Term of Agreement. This agreement shall terminate upon the date that all obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have
been satisfied. 
 2. At-Will Employment. The Company and the Employee acknowledge that the Employee’s employment is and shall continue to be
at-will, as defined under applicable law. If the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason, including (without limitation) any termination prior to a Change of Control, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits,
damages, awards or compensation other than as 

 
provided by this Agreement, or as may otherwise be available in accordance with the Company’s established employee plans and practices or pursuant to
other agreements with the Company. 
 3. Severance Benefits. 
 (a) Involuntary Termination. If the Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of an Involuntary Termination, then, subject to Sections 3(g) and 5, the Employee shall be entitled to receive the
following severance benefits: 
 (1) Severance Payment. A cash payment in an amount equal to [xx] months of the Employee’s Annual
Compensation, as measured upon the date of the Involuntary Termination; 
 (2) Continued Employee Benefits. One hundred percent
(100%) Company-paid health, dental, and vision insurance coverage at the same level of coverage as was provided to Employee immediately prior to the Termination Date (the “Company-Paid Coverage”). If such coverage included the
Employee’s dependents immediately prior to the Involuntary Termination, such dependents shall be covered at Company expense. Company-Paid Coverage shall continue until the earlier of (i) [xx] months from the date of termination, or
(ii) the date upon which the Employee and his dependents become covered under another employer’s group health, dental and vision insurance plans that provide Employee and his dependents with comparable benefits and levels of coverage. For
purpose of Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the date of the “qualifying event” for Employee and his or her dependents shall be the date upon which the Company-Paid Coverage terminates.

 (3) Option, Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Unit Accelerated Vesting. The Employee shall receive acceleration with respect to
that portion of any then-unvested stock options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units that would have vested within the [xx]-month period following the Termination Date. 
 (b) Termination in Connection with a Change of Control. If the Employee’s employment terminates as a result of an Involuntary Termination at
any time within sixty (60) days prior to, or two (2) years following, a Change of Control, then, subject to Sections 3(g) and 5, the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits, in lieu of those severance
benefits provided pursuant to section 3(a) above: 
 (1) Severance Payment. A cash payment in an amount equal to [xx] months of the
Employee’s Annual Compensation, as measured upon the date of the Change in Control; 

 (2) Continued Employee Benefits. One hundred percent (100%) Company-paid health, dental and
vision insurance coverage at the greater of (x) the same level of coverage as was provided to such employee immediately prior to the Change of Control or (y) the same level of coverage as was provided to Employee immediately prior to the
Termination Date (the “Company-Paid Coverage”). If such coverage included the Employee’s dependents immediately prior to the Change of Control, such dependents shall be covered at Company expense. Company-Paid Coverage shall continue
until the earlier of (i) [xx] months from the date of termination, or (ii) the date upon which the Employee and his dependents become covered under another employer’s group health, dental and vision insurance plans that provide
Employee and his dependents with comparable benefits and levels of coverage. For purpose of Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the date of the “qualifying event” for Employee and his or her
dependents shall be the date upon which the Company-Paid Coverage terminates. 
 (3) Option, Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Unit
Accelerated Vesting. One Hundred percent (100%) of the unvested portion of any stock option, restricted stock, or restricted stock unit held by the Employee shall automatically be accelerated in full so as to become completely vested.

 (4) Extension of Post-Termination Exercise of Stock Options. The stock options held by Employee shall become exercisable for a
period of ten years from their original date of grant by the Company, or, if shorter, the maximum term of the options under the applicable equity plan and award agreement, provided that this Section 3(b)(4) shall remain subject to any provision
of the applicable equity plan, award agreement, Change of Control agreement or other agreement providing for the termination of such stock options upon a Change of Control. 
 If the Employee’s employment terminates as a result of an Involuntary Termination, thereby triggering benefits pursuant to Section 3(a), it is
possible that within sixty (60) days a Change of Control may further trigger benefits under Section 3(b). To the extent the Employee receives benefits pursuant to Section 3(a), and then subsequently becomes entitled to benefits
pursuant to Section 3(b), any benefits previously received by the Employee pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be deducted from those benefits to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 3(b). 
 (c) Timing of Severance Payments. Any severance payment to which Employee is entitled under Section 3(a)(1) shall be paid by the Company to
the Employee (or to the Employee’s successors in interest, pursuant to Section 7(b)) in cash and in full, not later than (30) calendar days following the Termination Date. Any severance payment to which Employee is entitled under
Section 

 
3(b)(1) shall be paid by the Company to the Employee (or to the Employee’s successors in interest, pursuant to Section 7(b)) in cash and in full,
not later than (30) calendar days following the later to occur of the closing of the Change of Control or the Termination Date. 
 (d)
Voluntary Resignation; Termination For Cause. If the Employee’s employment terminates by reason of the Employee’s voluntary resignation (and is not an Involuntary Termination), or if the Employee is terminated for Cause, then the
Employee shall not be entitled to receive a severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other agreements with the
Company. 
 (e) Disability; Death. If the Company terminates the Employee’s employment as a result of the Employee’s
Disability, or such Employee’s employment is terminated due to the death of the Employee, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the
Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other agreements with the Company. 
 (f)
Non-duplication of Severance Benefits. In the event Employee becomes entitled to severance benefits under this Section 3, such severance benefits shall be paid in lieu of, and not in addition to, severance benefits under any other
agreement, program, or policy of the Company. 
 (g) Release and Waiver. This Section 3(g) shall apply notwithstanding anything
else contained in this Agreement or any stock option or other equity-based award agreement to the contrary. As a condition precedent to any Company obligation to the Employee pursuant to Section 3, the Employee shall, upon or promptly following
the Termination Date, provide the Company with a valid, executed general release agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and such release agreement shall have not been revoked by the Employee pursuant to any revocation rights
afforded by applicable law. The Company shall have no obligation to make any payment or provide any benefit to the Employee pursuant to Section 3 unless and until the release agreement contemplated by this Section 3(g) becomes irrevocable
by the Employee in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. 
 4. Attorney Fees, Costs and Expenses. The Company shall promptly
reimburse Employee, on a monthly basis, for the reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Employee in connection with any action reasonably and in good faith brought by Employee to enforce his rights hereunder, regardless of the
outcome of the action. Reimbursement under this Section 4 will be available only during the Employee’s lifetime. No such reimbursement shall be made later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense
was incurred. 
 5. [Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Statement or otherwise payable to
the Employee (i) constitute “parachute 

 
payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this
Section 5, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Employee’s severance benefits hereunder Section 3 shall be either 
 (a) delivered in full, or 
 (b) delivered as
to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, 
 whichever of the foregoing amounts,
taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such
severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 shall be made in writing in good faith by the accounting firm
serving as the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accountants”). In the event of a reduction in benefits hereunder, the Employee shall be given the choice of which benefits to
reduce. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the
application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The
Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5.] 
 [ALTERNATIVE: Golden Parachute Excise Tax Gross-Up. In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Employee constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Employee shall receive (i) payment from the Company sufficient to pay such excise tax, and
(ii) an additional payment from the Company sufficient to pay the excise tax and federal and state income taxes arising from the payments made by the Company to Employee pursuant to this sentence. Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise
agree in writing, the determination of Employee’s excise tax liability and the amount required to be paid under this Section 5 shall be made in writing by the accounting firm serving as the Company’s independent public accountants
immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accountants”). For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may
rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request
in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 5
shall be made no later than 2.5 months following the Termination Date.] 

 6. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

 (a) Annual Compensation. “Annual Compensation” means an amount equal to the sum of Employee’s (i) annual Company
salary at the highest rate in the effect in the twelve months immediately preceding the applicable measurement date, and (ii) 100% of the Employee’s annual target bonus as in effect immediately prior to the applicable measurement date.

 (b) Cause. “Cause” shall mean either (i) any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Employee in connection with his
responsibilities as an employee and intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Employee, (ii) the conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony, (iii) a willful act by the Employee which constitutes gross
misconduct and which is injurious to the Company, or (iv) following delivery to the Employee of a written demand for performance from the Company which describes the basis for the Company’s belief that the Employee has not substantially
performed his duties, continued violations by the Employee of the Employee’s obligations to the Company which are demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Employee’s part. 
 (c) Change of Control. “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: 
 (i) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding
voting securities; 
 (ii) A change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a
majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the
affirmative votes (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of Cell Genesys in which such person is named as a nominee for election as a director without objection to such nomination) of at least a majority of the Incumbent
Directors at the time of such election or nomination; 
 (iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation, other than the merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving entity or the entity that controls the Company or controls such surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or
the voting power 

 
represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or the entity that controls the Company or controls such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or 
 (iv) The consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all the Company’s assets. 
 (d) Disability. “Disability” shall mean that the Employee has been unable to
perform the essential functions of his Company duties, with or without reasonable accommodation, as a result of his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least 26 weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total
and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Employee or the Employee’s legal representative (such Agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld). Termination resulting from
Disability may only be effected after at least 30 days’ written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate the Employee’s employment. In the event that the Employee resumes the performance of substantially all of his duties
hereunder before the termination of his employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate shall automatically be deemed to have been revoked. 
 (e) Involuntary Termination. “Involuntary Termination” shall mean resignation by the Employee within 180 days following (i) without the Employee’s express written consent, a material
reduction of the Employee’s duties, title, authority or responsibilities relative to the Employee’s duties, title, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, or the assignment to Employee of such
reduced duties, title, authority or responsibilities; (ii) without the Employee’s express written consent, a material reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities and perquisites (including office space and location)
available to the Employee immediately prior to such reduction; (iii) a material reduction by the Company in the compensation of the Employee as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; (iv) a material reduction by the Company in the

Employee to a facility or a location more than twenty-five (25) miles from the Employee’s then present location, without the Employee’s express written consent; (vi) any purported termination of the Employee by the Company which
is not effected for Disability or for Cause, or any purported termination for which the grounds relied upon are not valid; (vii) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this agreement by any successors contemplated in
Section 7(a) below; or (viii) any act or set of facts or circumstances which would, under California case law or statute constitute a constructive termination of the Employee, provided, however, that none of the actions described above
shall give rise to an “Involuntary Termination” with respect to the Employee if it was an isolated and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith by the Company and if it is remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt
of written notice thereof given by the Employee, which such notice must be delivered no later than 60 days 

 
following the occurrence of such action. For purposes of this definition, the Company and the Employee agree that any reduction in base salary shall
constitute a material reduction in compensation. 
 (f) Termination Date. “Termination Date” shall mean (i) if this
Agreement is terminated by the Company for Disability, thirty (30) days after notice of termination is given to the Employee (provided that the Employee shall not have returned to the performance of the Employee’s duties on a full-time
basis during such thirty (30)-day period), (ii) if the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for any other reason, or by the Employee, the date on which a notice of termination is given. 
 7. Successor. 
 (a) Company’s Successors.
Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the obligations under this
Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this
Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section 7(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this
Agreement by operation of law. 
 (b) Employee’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all rights of the Employee hereunder
shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 8. Notice. 
 (a) General. Notices and all other
communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of
the Employee, mailed notices shall be addressed to him at the home address which he most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices
shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary. 
 (b) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by the
Employee as a result of a voluntary resignation or an Involuntary Termination shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement. Such notice shall indicate the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and shall specify the termination 

 
date (which shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Employee to include in the notice any fact or circumstance
which contributes to a showing of Involuntary Termination shall not waive any right of the Employee hereunder or preclude the Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his rights hereunder. 
 9. Arbitration. Any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the enforcement or interpretation of this agreement, or because of an alleged
breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of any this agreement, including (without limitation) any state or federal statutory claims, shall be submitted to arbitration in
[                     County], California, before a sole arbitrator selected from Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. or its
successor (“JAMS”), or if JAMS is no longer able to supply the arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be selected from the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that provisional injunctive relief may, but need not, be sought in a
court of law while arbitration proceedings are pending, and any provisional injunctive relief granted by such court shall remain effective until the matter is finally determined by the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS
pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 
 The parties
acknowledge and agree that they are hereby waiving any rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against the other in connection with any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way
connected with any of the matters referenced in the first sentence of the first paragraph of this Section 9. 
 The parties agree that the Company shall
be responsible for payment of the forum costs of any arbitration hereunder, including the arbitrator’s fee. 
 10. Non-solicitation. For a period
of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, induce, attempt to hire, recruit, encourage, take away, or hire any employee or independent contractor of the Company or cause
any Company employee or contractor to leave his or her employment or engagement with the Company or (ii) influence or attempt to influence customers, vendors, suppliers, licensors, lessors, joint venturers, associates, consultants, agents, or
partners of the Company to divert their business away from the Company, and the Employee will not otherwise interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the business relationships, contractual or otherwise, between the Company and any of its
customers, suppliers, vendors, lessors, licensors, joint venturers, associates, officers, employees, consultants, managers, partners, members or investors. The Employee expressly agrees that the foregoing covenants shall continue in effect through
the entire period identified above regardless of whether the Employee is then entitled to receive any severance payments from the Company. 
 11. Non
disparagement. Employee agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, make or ratify any statement, public or private, oral or written, to any person that disparages, either professionally or personally, the Company or any current or former
director, officer or employee of the Company, except that the Employee shall be relieved of this 

 
restriction as to any particular person in the event that such person disparages, either professionally or personally, the Employee. The Company agrees that
it shall not, directly or indirectly, make or ratify any statement, public or private, oral or written, to any person that disparages, either professionally or personally, the Employee. However, nothing in this paragraph shall affect the
Employee’s or the Company’s ability or obligation to provide complete and truthful testimony or other information in connection with any (1) governmental and/or regulatory investigation or proceeding, (2) required public,
governmental or regulatory disclosure or filing, or (3) pleadings, discovery and/or trial in litigation. 
 12. Miscellaneous Provisions.

 (a) No Duty to Mitigate. The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement,
nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that the Employee may receive from any other source. 
 (b) Waiver. No provision
of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Employee and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Employee). No waiver by either
party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 
 (c) Whole Agreement. No agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which are not
expressly set forth in this Agreement have been made or entered into by either party with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement represents the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior arrangements and understandings regarding same, including, without limitation, any prior change of control, employment or similar agreements. 
 (d) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. 
 (e) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (f) Withholding. All payments made
pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes. 
 (g) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the case of the Company by its duly authorized
officer, as of the day and year set forth below.

 EXHIBIT A 
 GENERAL RELEASE 
 [Bracketed provisions to be inserted after Executive
becomes 40 years of age] 
 In consideration of my receipt of the severance payments and other benefits (the
“Severance”) offered to me under that certain Change of Control and Severance Agreement, dated                 ,
200    , (the “Agreement”), and in connection with the termination of my employment with Cell Genesys, Inc. (“Employer”), I agree to the following release (the
“Release”). 
 On behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, I hereby fully and
forever release and discharge Employer, its current, former and future parents, subsidiaries, related entities, attorneys, employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries, predecessors, successors, officers, directors, securityholders, agents,
employees and assigns (collectively, the “Company”) from any and all claims, demands, costs, contracts, liabilities, objections, rights, damages, expenses and actions of every nature now existing or that may arise in the
future (“Claims”), that are or may be based, in whole or in part, upon any action, occurrence or event occurring or not occurring on or prior to the date hereof, whether at law or in equity, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, including, without limitation, any Claims based on or arising out of or relating in any way to (a) my employment with Employer or its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the offer and termination of my employment and any
offer letters or other agreements regarding my employment relationship with the Company and my rights to any benefits upon termination of employment or otherwise, but excluding any rights to the Severance described in the Agreement and (b) any
actions or omissions by the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Company. 
 I understand and agree that this Release is a full and
complete waiver and release of all claims, including, but not limited to, claims of wrongful discharge, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of public policy, defamation, personal injury, emotional
distress, claims under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended, the provisions of the California Labor Code[, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
of 1967, as amended, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, as amended], the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and any
other state, federal or local laws and regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination. The only exceptions are claims I may have for unemployment compensation and worker’s compensation. I do not presently believe I have
suffered any work-related injury or illness. 
 I understand and agree that the Company will not provide me with the Severance unless I
execute and do not revoke this Release. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing release of all claims, I expressly represent and
warrant that I have been paid all salary and accrued but unused vacation earned by me through the final date of my employment with Employer. I further represent and warrant that I am accepting the Severance in resolution of any and all actual and/or
potential disputes regarding and in full satisfaction of any and all claims that I may have against Employer for unpaid compensation, including salary and bonuses. 
 I acknowledge that I may discover facts different from or in addition to those which I 

 
now know or believe to be true and that this Release shall be and remain effective in all respects even if I discover new or additional facts after I sign
this Release. I expressly waive any and all rights and benefits conferred upon me by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and/or any analogous law of any other state. Section 1542 states: 
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR [EMPLOYEE] DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR [COMPANY]. 
 As part of my existing and
continuing obligation to the Company, I have signed and delivered to Employer the Termination Certification (attached hereto) and I have returned to the Company all Company documents, information and property, including files, records, computer
access codes and instruction manuals, as well as any Company assets or equipment that I have in my possession or under my control. I further agree not to keep any copies of Company documents or information. I affirm my obligation to keep all Company
Information confidential and not to disclose it to any third party in the future. I understand that the term “Company Information” includes, but is not limited to, the following: (a) confidential information, including information
received from third parties under confidential conditions; and (b) information concerning customers (including customer lists), as well as other technical, scientific, marketing, business, product development or financial information, the use
or disclosure of which might reasonably be determined to be contrary to the interests of the Company. The Company’s Proprietary Information Agreement is incorporated by this reference. 
 I represent and warrant that I am the sole owner of all claims relating to my employment with the Company, and that I have not assigned or transferred
any claims relating to my employment to any other person or entity. 
 I agree to keep this Release confidential and not to reveal its
contents to anyone except my lawyer, my spouse and/or my financial and legal consultants. 
 I understand and agree that this Release shall
not be construed at any time as an admission of liability or wrongdoing by either myself or the Company. 
 This Release and the Agreement
contain the entire agreement between the Company and me with respect to any matters referred to in the Release and supersede any previous oral or written agreements, including without limitation any offer letter or employment agreement between
Employer and me; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Release, this Release shall in no way limit my rights or remedies under the Indemnification Agreement, entered into between me and the Company, dated
                    , 20    , and as such agreement may be amended from time to time. If any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Release is, for any reason, held to be unenforceable, that holding will not affect any other provision of this Release, and this Release shall then be construed as if the unenforceable provisions had never been contained
in the Release. I acknowledge that I have obtained sufficient information to intelligently exercise my own judgment regarding the terms of the Release before executing this Release. I acknowledge that this Release was presented to me on
                     and that I am entitled to have twenty one (21) days’ time after receipt of this Release within which to review
and consider it, consider any statistical data provided herewith, if applicable, and to discuss with an attorney of my own choosing whether or not to sign this Release. [I further understand that, for the period of seven (7) days after the date
I sign this Release, I may revoke it by delivering a written notification of my revocation, no later than the seventh day to Employer at the address set forth in the Agreement.] 

 [I further understand that the Effective Date of this Release will be the eighth day after I have signed
it, provided that I have delivered it to the Company and I have not revoked it during the seven days after the date I signed it and that the Severance will not become due to me until the Effective Date.]
