In the event Illumina is experiencing a supply shortage of the applicable Supplied Product (or components therein), Illumina will allocate the existing supply in an equitable manner among its customers (including Affiliates) based on expiring lots, and which shall not favor Affiliates over other customers.”

6.The following is hereby added to the Agreement as Section 7.f.:

“Access to Supplied Products. Customer shall have access to the Supplied Products for purchase that GRAIL or any For-Profit Entity has access, within [*]of when GRAIL or such For-Profit Entity, as applicable, is offered such access (if not earlier) for purchase.”

7.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 7.g.:

“Access to Pre-Release Sequencing Products. Customer shall have access for purchase to any Pre-Release Sequencing Product to which GRAIL or any For-Profit Entity is offered access within [*] of when GRAIL or such For-Profit Entity, as applicable, is offered such access (if not earlier), and for the same categories of uses, specifically: (i) feedback to Illumina for development of NGS products, including through alpha or beta testing; (ii) for clinical trials; (iii) for clinical validation; (iv) for pre- commercial test development not relating to clinical trials; or (v) for a commercialized product developed by Customer.

following extensions to previously announced obsolescence dates: (a) Consumables bearing the Illumina catalogue numbers [*] and [*] shall continue to be available for purchase by Customer so long as any such purchase is made using a binding purchase order with a [*] lead time for shipment and with a last possible shipment date for such Consumables of [*]; and (b) Illumina will continue to provide technical support for Customer’s [*] sequencing systems in Customer’s possession as of the Seventh Amendment Date until [*] at the same service level owed as of the Seventh Amendment Date to Customer for such systems (provided, however, Customer acknowledges that Microsoft Windows 10 will no longer be supported by Microsoft after 2022, and certain spare parts for such sequencing systems may not be available for support that is requested after [*], which could affect Illumina’s ability to provide such technical support).”

10.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 7.j.:

“Quality of Supplied Products. Supplied Products provided pursuant to the “No Obsolescence” provision in Section 7.i. above shall be manufactured to at least the quality standards and provided with at least the level of product support in effect upon Customer’s initial purchase of such Supplied Products.“

11.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 7.k.:

“No Price Increases. The inflation-adjusted (based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing Index in the Producer Price Index (“PPI”)) Volume-Based Net Price (under Tables 2, 5, or 6(a) (subject to Table 6(b)) of Exhibit B, as applicable) that Customer has access to for each Supplied Product purchased under this Agreement (under Tables 2, 5, or 6(a) (subject to Table 6(b)) of Exhibit B, as applicable) following the Seventh Amendment Date shall not increase. To the extent Illumina’s costs of goods sold for a Supplied Product materially increase due to factors beyond Illumina’s control, then such Volume-Based Net Price (under Tables 2, 5, or 6(a) (subject to Table 6(b)) of Exhibit B, as applicable) may increase solely to reflect that cost increase and solely for the duration of that cost increase.“

12.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 7.l.:

“New Product Pricing. To the extent that Illumina launches a new version of any Supplied Product (e.g., a sequencing instrument of similar throughput, or a Certain Sequencing Consumable of the same sequencing read length and similar number of sequencing reads per flow cell), the new version of the Supplied Product shall be automatically added to Exhibit B of this Agreement with pricing and the inflation-adjusted (based on the PPI) Volume-Based Net Price per gigabase of sequencing shall not be higher as compared to the Volume-Based Net Price of the prior version of the Supplied Product, provided that the new version of the Supplied Product does not result in any material improvements in performance or capability. In addition, Illumina commits that by 2025, under this Agreement, the Volume-Based Net Price to Customer per gigabase of sequencing using the highest throughput Illumina instrument then available, with the highest throughput, best-performance flow cell and kit then available, at full capacity, will be at least 43% lower than the inflation-adjusted (based on the PPI) Volume-Based Net Price (under Table 2 of Exhibit B as applicable as of the Seventh Amendment Date), per gigabase of sequencing using the NovaSeq instrument, with an S4 300 flow cell, at full capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the previous sentence, holding volume constant, every customer (regardless of their application, or whether they are in

Page 4 of 17

oncology screening) using the highest throughput instrument and best-performance flow cell would observe by 2025 a reduction in price, under the Universal Pricing option, per gigabase of sequencing, of 43%. By way of example, for a customer at the highest volume discount tier today, the per gigabase sequencing price is $4, using a NovaSeq instrument with an S4 300 flow cell. Under this commitment, the per gigabase of sequencing price for that customer at the same volume discount tier in 2025 would be no greater than $2.26 (inflation-adjusted based on the PPI) using the highest throughput Illumina instrument then available, with the highest-throughput, best-performance flow cell and kit then available. To the extent Illumina’s costs of goods sold for a Supplied Product materially increase due to factors beyond Illumina’s control, then the Volume-Based Net Price as referenced in this Section 7.l. may increase solely to reflect that cost increase and solely for the duration of that cost increase. The price for a new Product or a new version of a materially improved Product must be commercially reasonable.“

13.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 7.m.:

“Most-Favored Pricing. If Customer is not receiving Grandfathered Pricing for Supplied Product, Customer shall have access to Volume-Based Net Prices for that Supplied Product that are no less favorable than the Volume-Based Net Prices provided to an Equivalent customer or to GRAIL (inclusive of transfer pricing, portability fees, and royalties) for that Supplied Product. “

14.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 7.n.:

“Notification and Refund. In the event that Section 7.m is triggered, Illumina will notify Customer promptly, and no later than 45 days after the end of the applicable Illumina fiscal quarter, and the pricing made available to Customer for the applicable Supplied Products will be reduced in accordance with Section 7.m., effective as of the date on which GRAIL or the Equivalent customer received the triggering pricing, and the Customer will receive such reduced pricing for the period of time that the triggering pricing is available to GRAIL or the Equivalent customer. With respect to units of Supplied Product ordered and invoiced pursuant to a Purchase Order accepted after the date the triggering purchase was made, and for which Customer has paid the applicable invoice, Illumina will refund to Customer the difference between the pricing made available to Customer and the triggering pricing, multiplied by the number of affected units of Supplied Product.“

15.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 7.o.:

“Short Term Projects. Customer shall have access to Short Term Project pricing that is no less favorable than pricing extended to Equivalent customer or GRAIL for a Short Term Project of substantially similar size (i.e., using between [*]% and [*]% of the volume of Certain Sequencing Consumables) and duration (i.e., for a period of not more than [*] longer than the other Short Term Project), provided that Customer has requested such pricing. If Illumina offers GRAIL pricing for a Short Term Project under this section, Illumina shall make Customer aware of such pricing promptly, but in no event later than 45 days after the end of the applicable Illumina fiscal quarter. No customer, including GRAIL, may receive Short Term Project pricing for more than two consecutive years. No customer, including GRAIL, may use Short Term Project pricing for ongoing ordinary course purchases, including for its standard commercial testing. Pricing for Short Term Projects will not be considered as triggering with respect to the obligations in Section 7.m.“

16.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 7.p.:

To the extent necessary, Illumina shall update this website within [*] of entry of any purchase order for Supplied Products or any service contract relating to the Supplied Products by GRAIL.“

18.The following is added to the Agreement as Section 14.g:

“Confidential Information. To the extent that Illumina may have access to Confidential Information of Customer in connection with this Agreement or the provision of supplied Products by Illumina to Customer, Illumina shall in no event share such Confidential Information of Customer with GRAIL or any subsidiary of GRAIL, or any employees who work within GRAIL. Any Confidential Information received shall be used by Illumina only (i) to perform Illumina’s product supply obligations, service or obligations under any agreement to Customer, or (ii) for performance of general business practices by non-technical functions (e.g., accounting, customer service) within Illumina, which functions shall have access to such information only on a need-to-know basis, and Illumina shall not use such Confidential Information for any other purpose, expressly including without limitation, for any of its own or Affiliates’ internal purposes. All employees who may receive Confidential Information will be advised of these confidentiality obligations and use restrictions. Illumina shall continue its practice of maintaining all Confidential Information of Customer confidential as to any other entity. Illumina shall establish a firewall designed to prevent any GRAIL personnel (and any Illumina personnel carrying out activities with respect to the GRAIL business or products) from accessing any Confidential Information obtained by or made available to Illumina relating to Customer or its business or products, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.”
