Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 26th day of September, 2014 by and between Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation, including its successors and assigns, (the “Employer” or “Company”), and Susan B. Washer (“Executive”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the respective undertakings of Employer and Executive set forth below, Employer and Executive hereby agree as follows:

1. Employment. Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to perform services for Employer, for the period and on the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee’s Start Date shall be and shall be considered the Effective Date of this Agreement.

2. Employment at Will. Executive is employed “at-will” which means that Executive’s employment is not for any defined term and may be terminated by either Executive or the Company at any time, with or without cause, for any or no reason, subject to the notice provisions herein.

3. Position and Duties.

3.1 Service with Employer. Employer hereby employs Executive in an executive capacity with the title of President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive hereby accepts such employment and undertakes and agrees to serve in such capacity. Subject to the overall policy directives of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and applicable law, in Executive’s capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive shall have such powers, perform such duties and fulfill such responsibilities as are typically associated with such position in other similarly situated companies.

3.2 Performance of Duties. Executive agrees to: (i) devote substantially all of Executive’s business time, attention and efforts to the business and affairs of Employer while employed; and (ii) adhere to all Employer’s written employment policies and procedures as shall be in force from time to time. Executive shall report directly to the Board.

3.3 Outside Activities. During the Term, Executive shall not: (i) except as set forth below, accept other employment; (ii) except as set forth below, render or perform services for compensation to any Person (as hereinafter defined) other than Employer; (iii) serve as an officer or on the board of directors (or similar governing body) of any entity other than Employer, whether or not for compensation; or (iv) engage in any other business, enterprise or activity that will require any effort on the part of Executive that, in the sole discretion of Employer, could reasonably be expected to materially detract from the ability of Executive to perform Executive’s duties to Employer pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, Executive may engage in the activities set forth in Schedule A hereto or described in clause (iii) or (iv) above if prior to engaging in such activity, Executive has disclosed such activity to the Board and received written approval to engage in such activity from the Board. Executive may engage in personal investments without disclosure to or written approval from the Board

provided Executive is not required or expected to serve as a board member, advisor or consultant and Executive shall, at any time, own beneficially less than 2% of the outstanding securities of any issuer and such personal investment shall not otherwise interfere with Executive’s performance of duties hereunder and/or the provisions of Executive’s written agreements with Employer.

3.4 Executive Representations. Executive represents that Executive is not subject to any restrictive covenant, confidentiality agreement, or any other agreement that would prevent Executive from accepting employment with Employer, and based on the information provided to Employer by Executive, Employer accepts such representation.

4. Compensation.

4.1 Base Salary. Employer shall pay to Executive a base salary for all services to be rendered by Executive under this Agreement at the rate of $400,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), which Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll schedule, procedures and policies (which schedule, procedures and policies may be modified from time to time) and subject to applicable deductions as required by law. Employer shall review Executive’s salary on an annual basis and may, in its discretion, consider and declare from time to time increases in the Base Salary that it pays Executive. Any and all increases in Executive’s salary pursuant to this section shall cause the level of Base Salary to be increased by the amount of each such increase for purposes of this Agreement. The increased level of Base Salary as provided in this section shall become the level of Base Salary for the remainder of the term of this Agreement unless there is a further increase in Base Salary as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Salary of Executive may be decreased provided it is done so in proportion to decreases in Base Salary of the entire executive team of the Company.

4.2 Annual Bonus. The Executive will be eligible to participate in the Employer’s annual cash incentive compensation plan on substantially the same terms as other executive officers. Company-wide and individual performance objectives (“MBOs”) will be established by the Compensation Committee. Target incentives do not constitute a promise of payment and the Executive’s actual bonus, if any, will depend in part on the Employer’s performance and the Compensation Committee’s discretion in assessing the Executive’s individual performance in relation to his or her MBOs and the overall performance and status of the Company. To qualify for the incentive bonus, the Executive must remain employed with the Company through the date that the incentive bonus is paid in accordance with the Employer’s normal practice.

4.3 Participation in Benefit Plans. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans or programs offered to other senior executives from time to time (to the extent that Executive meets the requirements for each such plan or program), including participation in any health insurance plan, disability insurance plan, dental plan, eye care plan, 401(k) plan, life insurance plan, or other similar plans (all such benefits, the “Benefit Plans”). Some or all of the benefits may be provided by our leasing agent TriNet (or its successor(s) or assign(s).

4.4 Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Executive for all ordinary and necessary business expenses reasonably incurred by him in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, subject to the presentment and approval of appropriate itemized expense statements, receipts, vouchers or other supporting documentation in accordance with Employer’s normal policies for expense verification in effect from time to time.

4.5 Paid Time Off. Executive shall be entitled to no less paid time off than the other senior executives, pursuant to Employer’s standard paid time off policies. Unused paid time off may be carried over from year to year, but in no case may more than 45 days (360 hours) of unused paid time off be accrued.

4.6 Total Compensation. Executive shall not receive any other compensation or benefits other than as provided in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 hereof.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events (without Executive’s consent):

(ii) Other than following a Change in Control, (a) in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause Executive shall become vested as of the date Executive provides the Company with the Irrevocable Release provided for in this Section 5.5 within the period prescribed therein with respect to 100% of the shares with respect to which the Award is not vested as of the Termination Date or (b) in the event Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall become vested as of the date Executive provides the Company with the Irrevocable Release provided for in this Section 5.5 within the period prescribed therein with respect to 50% of the shares with respect to which the Award is not vested as of the Termination Date.

(iii) In the case of any Award the vesting of which is contingent in whole or in part upon the attainment of any Company or market performance condition that has not yet been satisfied, such condition shall be deemed to have been satisfied as of the date of termination at the level that would result in vesting of 50% or 100%, as applicable, of the number of shares stated as the target award.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means, and shall be deemed to have occurred, if:

(i) any Person, excluding (i) employee benefit plans of the Company or any of its Affiliates, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, which Rules shall apply for purposes of this clause (a) whether or not the Company is subject to the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of Company securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (“Voting Power”);

Fundamental Transaction that results 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) at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined Voting Power immediately after such Fundamental Transaction of (i) the Company’s outstanding securities, (ii) the surviving entity’s outstanding securities, or (iii) in the case of a division, the outstanding securities of each entity resulting from the division;

(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or winding-up of the Company or the consummation of the sale or disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

(iv) during any period of 24 consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period or whose appointment, election or nomination was previously so approved or recommended) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board.

5.6 Required Delivery of Irrevocable Release; Compliance with Section 6 Obligations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5, as a condition to entitlement to the Severance Benefits, Executive must provide to the Company an Irrevocable Release not later than the sixtieth day after the Date of Termination; provided however that if the sixty day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a subsequent calendar year, any payment to be made or benefit to be provided upon receipt of the Irrevocable Release shall not be made or provided until the subsequent year. In the event Executive fails to provide an Irrevocable Release to the Company within such sixty day period, the Company will immediately cease to pay or provide any further Severance Benefits, no accelerated vesting of stock options or other awards pursuant to Section 5.5(d) shall occur, and Executive shall be obligated to immediately repay to the Company all previously paid or provided Severance Benefits. “Irrevocable Release” means a confidential separation agreement and release of claims, in form and substance substantially similar to the attached Exhibit A that has been executed by Executive, delivered to the Company, and become irrevocable by Executive.

contained in this Agreement, including Executive’s promise and covenant to utilize the Goodwill exclusively for the benefit of Employer, Employer will allow Executive to receive Confidential Information concerning the Company’s customers, labs, vendors and employees and, to the extent required to fulfill Executive’s duties, the Company will permit Executive to represent the Company on its behalf with such persons. To the extent that Executive’s duties involve sales or customer relations, the Company will permit Executive to utilize the Goodwill in Executive’s sales efforts and will provide sales support to Executive similar to that which it provides to its sales representatives.

6.2 Duties. While employed by Company, Executive shall perform the duties required of Executive hereunder and shall devote Executive’s best efforts and exclusive business time, energy and skill to performing such duties; not make any disparaging remarks regarding Company to any person with whom Company has business relations, including any employee or vendor of Company; use the Goodwill solely for the benefit of Company; and not interfere in such Goodwill, either during or following Executive’s employment with Company.

6.3 Delivery of Company Property. Executive recognizes that all documents, magnetic media and other tangible items which contain Confidential Information are the property of Company exclusively. Upon request by Company or termination of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive shall promptly return to Company all Confidential Information and Company Property within Executive’s possession and control, and shall refrain from taking any Confidential Information or Company Property or allowing any Confidential Information or Company Property to be taken from Company; and immediately return to Company all information pertaining to Company or Company Property in Executive’s possession.

6.4 Promise and Covenant Not to Disclose. The parties acknowledge that Company is the sole and exclusive owner of Confidential Information, and that Company has legitimate business interests in protecting Confidential Information. The parties further acknowledge that Company has invested, and continues to invest, considerable amounts of time and money in obtaining, developing, and preserving the confidentiality of Confidential Information and that, by reason of the trust relationship arising between Executive and Company, Executive owes Company a fiduciary duty to preserve and protect Confidential Information from all unauthorized disclosure and unauthorized use. Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose Confidential Information to any third party (except to Executive’s attorneys, the Company’s personnel, other persons designated in writing by the Company, or except as otherwise provided by law) or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the direct benefit of Company while in Company’s employ and thereafter.

The term “Inventions” means discoveries; developments; trade

8

secrets; processes; formulas; data; lists; software programs; graphics; artwork; logos, and all other works of authorship, ideas, concepts, know-how, designs, and techniques, whether or not any of the foregoing is or are patentable, copyrightable, or registrable under any intellectual property laws or industrial property laws in the United States.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that any work of authorship by Executive or others comprising Company Inventions shall be deemed to be a “work made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 (2000)). To the extent that any such work of authorship may not be deemed to be a work made for hire, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns any ownership rights Executive may have in and to such work to the Company. This Agreement does not apply to any Inventions Executive made before Executive’s employment with the Company.

The arbitration shall be held in Gainesville, Florida (or at such other location as shall be mutually agreed by

13

the parties). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, including the Expedited Procedures. All fees and expenses of the arbitration, including a transcript if either requests, shall be borne equally by the parties. Each party is responsible for the fees and expenses of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs and post-hearing briefs (unless the party prevails on a claim for which attorney’s fees are recoverable under law). In rendering a decision, the arbitrator shall apply all legal principles and standards that would govern if the dispute were being heard in court. This includes the availability of all remedies that the parties could obtain in court. In addition, all statutes of limitation and defenses that would be applicable in court, will apply to the arbitration proceeding. The decision of the arbitrator shall be set forth in writing, and be binding and conclusive on all parties. Any action to enforce or vacate the arbitrator’s award shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, if applicable, and otherwise by applicable state law. If either the Company or Executive improperly pursues any claim, dispute or controversy against the other in a proceeding other than the arbitration provided for herein, the responding party shall be entitled to dismissal or injunctive relief regarding such action and recovery of all costs, losses and attorney’s fees related to such action.

7.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referenced herein contain the entire agreement of the parties relating to the employment of Executive by Employer and the ancillary matters discussed herein and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings with respect to such matters, including, without limitation, any term sheet between the parties hereto with respect to such matters, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or warranties relating to such employment or ancillary matters which are not set forth herein.

7.3 Withholding Taxes. Employer may withhold from any compensation and Benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

7.4 Golden Parachute Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any portion of the Severance Benefits or any other payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (collectively, the “Total Benefits”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (the “Excise Tax”), the Total Benefits shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Benefits is subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that no such reduction in the Total Benefits shall be made if by not making such reduction, Executive’s Retained Amount (as hereinafter defined) would be greater than Executive’s Retained Amount if the Total Benefits are so reduced. All determinations required to be made under this Section 7.4 shall be made by tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (“Tax Counsel”), which determinations shall be conclusive and binding on Executive and the Company absent manifest error. All fees and expenses of Tax Counsel shall be borne solely by the Company. Prior to any reduction in Executive’s Total

14

Benefits pursuant to this Section 7.4, Tax Counsel shall provide Executive and the Company with a report setting forth its calculations and containing related supporting information. In the event any such reduction is required, the Total Benefits shall be reduced in the following order: (i) the Severance Amount (in reverse order of payment), (iii) any portion of the Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code (other than Total Benefits resulting from any accelerated vesting of equity awards), (iv) other Total Benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Code in reverse order of payment, and (v) Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A and arise from any accelerated vesting of any equity awards. “Retained Amount” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of the Total Benefits net of all federal, state and local taxes imposed on Executive with respect thereto.

7.5 Compliance With Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (including the exceptions thereto), to the extent applicable, and shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. If any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or the exemptions intended to apply under this Agreement), this Agreement shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or applicable exemptions thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining Executive’s entitlement to the Severance Benefits under Section 5 hereof, (a) Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to have terminated unless and until Executive incurs a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and (b) the effective date of any termination or resignation of employment (or any similar term) shall be the effective date of Executive’s separation from service. Reimbursement of any expenses provided for in this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Company’s policies (as applicable) with respect thereto as in effect from time to time (but in no event later than the end of calendar year following the year such expenses were incurred) and in no event shall (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement hereunder during a taxable year affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year or (ii) the right to reimbursement be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a payment or benefit under this Agreement is due to a “separation from service” for purposes of the rules under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(2) (payments to specified employees upon a separation from service) and Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” (as determined under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i)), such payment shall, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, be made on the later of (x) the date specified by the foregoing provisions of this Agreement or (y) the date that is six (6) months after the date of Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death). Any installment payments that are delayed pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death) and the remaining installment payments shall begin on such date in accordance with the schedule provided in this Agreement. To the extent permitted by Section 409A, each payment hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

7.6 Amendments. No amendment or modification of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by both Executive and Employer.

15

7.7 Severability; Reformation. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under any applicable Law or rule, the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement will not be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, illegal or unenforceable because it is too broad in scope, too lengthy in duration or violates any Law or regulation, it shall be reformed by limiting its scope, limiting its duration or construing it to avoid such violation (as the case may be) while giving the greatest effect to the intent of the parties as is legally permissible.

7.8 No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

7.9 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is a personal service contract, and shall not be assignable by Executive. This Agreement shall be assignable by Employer to any successor to the business of Employer, without the written consent of Executive; provided, however, that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the business assets of Employer and such assignee or transferee expressly assumes all the obligations, duties, and liabilities of Employer set forth in this Agreement. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Section 7.9 shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit or obligation hereunder.

7.10 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. A facsimile signature by any party on a counterpart of this Agreement shall be binding and effective for all purposes. Such party shall subsequently deliver to the other party an original, executed copy of this Agreement; provided, however, that a failure of such party to deliver an original, executed copy shall not invalidate Executive’s or its signature.

[For employees aged 40 and older:

Releasor represents and acknowledges the following:

19

that this General Release shall become effective seven (7) days after it is signed. Releasor may revoke this General Release within seven (7) days after it is signed by delivering a written notice of rescission to Scott Koenig, Chair of AGTC, c/o Macrogenics, Inc., 1500 East Gude Drive, Rockville, MD 20850. To be effective, the notice of rescission must be hand delivered, or postmarked within the seven (7) day period and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the referenced address.

[For California-based employees:

Releasor expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and does so understanding and acknowledging the significance of such specific waiver of Section 1542. Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor 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.”

Releasor expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under that section and under any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to the release of any unknown or unsuspected claims Releasor may have against the Releasees specified above.]
