EXECUTION VERSION

AMENDED AND RESTATED EXCLUSIVE (EQUITY) AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Exclusive (Equity) Agreement (“Agreement”) between THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY (“Stanford”), an institution of higher education having powers under the laws of the State of California, and LogicBio Therapeutics, Inc. (“LogicBio”), a corporation having a principal place of business at 700 Main Street, Cambridge, MA 02139, is effective on the 31st day of January, 2018 (“Amendment Date”).

BACKGROUND

Stanford has an assignment of an invention of a technology to insert a gene or genes of interest without disrupting the target gene. It is co-owned with the University of Texas and entitled “Using Homologous Recombination to Create Genetically Engineered Cells for Cell and Gene Based Therapy,” was invented in the laboratories of Professor Matthew Porteus and Professor Mark Kay, and is described in Stanford Docket S11-451 (“Gene Insertion Technology”). The Gene Insertion Technology was made in the course of research supported by the Carter Foundation. Stanford will only be licensing its rights in this jointly owned Gene Insertion Technology to LogicBio.

Stanford has another assignment of a related invention that is a method for site-specific gene targeting that does not require nucleases. It is entitled “Gene Targeting Without Nucleases,” was invented in the laboratory of Professor Mark Kay, and is described in Stanford Docket S14-131 (“Gene Targeting Technology”, and collectively with the Gene Insertion Technology, the “Gene Technology” or “GT”). The Gene Targeting Technology was made in the course of research supported by the National Institutes of Health.

Stanford has an assignment of three inventions of novel AAV vectors with new and improved properties. They are entitled “Novel AAV capsids with new transduction and nonimmune properties”, which includes LK03, described in Stanford Docket S06-098, “Chimeric AAV Capsids for High Efficiency Nucleic Acid Transfer,” described in Stanford Docket S11-298, and “Novel AAV Capsid, NP-59,” described in Stanford Docket S15-305 (collectively, “Vector Technology” or “VT”). The Vector Technology was invented in the laboratory of Professor Mark Kay and made in the course of research supported by the National Institutes of Health.

Stanford wants to have the Gene Technology and the Vector Technology perfected and marketed as soon as possible so that resulting products may be available for public use and benefit.

Stanford and LogicBio entered into the Exclusive (Equity) Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2015 (the “Prior Agreement,” and such date, the “Effective Date”), pursuant to which Stanford granted LogicBio a license under the Gene Technology and Vector Technology, subject to the terms of the Prior Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the amount invested in the First Round Financing is greater than $3,999,900, the number of shares to be issued to Stanford shall be calculated as if the total amount invested in the First Round Financing is $3,999,900 (the “Maximum Investment”). A “First Round” is a bona fide round of equity, warrant, option or convertible equity investment which includes all the tranches prior to the completion of the financing. This right will expire upon the issuance of all shares to be issued in connection with such First Round, but will apply to all shares to be issued in or in connection with such First Round.

 

7.4

Purchase Right.

 

  (A)

Stanford shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase for cash up to its Share of the securities issued in any Qualifying Offering on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Section 7.4 and Section 7.5 (the “Purchase Right”). For purposes of this Section 7.4 and Section 7.5:

 

  (1)

“Adjustment Event” means the final closing of the first Threshold Qualifying Offering occurring after the Effective Date.

 

  (2)

For the avoidance of doubt, if LogicBio is a limited liability company, then “equity securities” means limited liability company interests in LogicBio.

 

  (4)

“Share” means:

 

  (i)

[***]% with respect to any Qualifying Offering having a closing on or before the date of an Adjustment Event; or

 

  (ii)

  (B)

The Purchase Right shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following (each a “Termination Event”):

 

  (1)

  (3)

Stanford fails to give an election notice within the Notice Period for a Qualifying Offering which has its final closing within 90 days of the date such notice is received by Stanford and which is closed on terms that are the same or less favorable to the investors as the terms stated in LogicBio’s notice to Stanford;

The closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of LogicBio’s common stock; or

 

  (5)

The closing of the sale of all or substantially all of LogicBio’s assets to a company publicly traded on one of the major recognized exchanges.

 

  (C)

The Purchase Right shall not apply to the issuance of securities: (i) to employees, individuals who are members of LogicBio’s Board of Directors as of the time of issuance, and service providers to LogicBio pursuant to a plan approved by LogicBio’s Board of Directors; or (ii) as additional consideration in lending or leasing transactions; or (iii) to an entity pursuant to an arrangement that LogicBio’s Board of Directors determines in good faith is a strategic partnership or similar arrangement of LogicBio (i.e., an arrangement in which the entity’s purchase of securities is not primarily for the purpose of financing LogicBio); or (iv) to owners of another entity in connection with the acquisition of that entity by LogicBio.

 

  (D)

For the avoidance of doubt: (i) any securities Stanford may acquire or have the right to acquire under Section 7.2 or 7.3 shall not reduce the number of securities Stanford may purchase under this Section 7.4 or under any applicable Rights Agreement; and (ii) Stanford shall not be obligated to purchase under this Section 7.4 any LogicBio securities it has the right to acquire under Section 7.2 or 7.3 above.

Rights Agreements; Information Rights; Notice; Elections.

 

  (A)

LogicBio shall ensure that each Rights Agreement executed by Stanford in connection with a Qualifying Offering will grant to Stanford the same rights as all other investors who are parties to that Rights Agreement. In particular, LogicBio shall ensure that each such Rights Agreement will grant to Stanford the same right to purchase additional securities in future offerings, the same information rights, and the same registration rights as are granted to other parties thereto, including all such rights granted to any investor designated as a “Major Investor” or other similar designation, even if Stanford is not so designated.

 

  (B)

Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary contained in any applicable Rights Agreement:

 

  (1)

Stanford shall not have any representation on the Board of Directors or rights to attend meetings of the Board of Directors;

  (C)

If Stanford has no information rights under a Rights Agreement and to the extent that such information has been prepared by LogicBio for other purposes, so long as Stanford holds LogicBio securities, LogicBio shall furnish to Stanford, upon request and as promptly as reasonably practicable, LogicBio’s annual consolidated financial statements and annual operating plan, including an annual report of the holders of LogicBio’s securities, and such other information as Stanford may reasonably request from time to time for the purpose of valuing its interest in LogicBio.

 

  (D)

Notwithstanding any notice provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any notice given under this Agreement that refers or relates to any of Section 7.4 above or this Section 7.5 shall be copied concurrently to ***@***; provided, however, that delivery of the copy will not by itself constitute notice for any purpose under this Agreement.

 

7.6

  (A)

$[***] on the 1st and 2nd anniversaries;

EXECUTION VERSION

 

It is further agreed and notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 7.7, in the event LogicBio receives a milestone payment from a sublicensee under a Sublicense and the milestone event giving rise to such milestone payment also triggers a payment obligation on the part of LogicBio under this Section 7.7, LogicBio shall be obligated to pay Stanford only a single payment, such payment to be the higher of the applicable milestone payment set forth in this Section 7.7 and the payment owing to Stanford under Section 4.7 as applicable, with respect to such milestone payment from such sublicensee.

 

7.8

Earned Royalty. LogicBio will pay Stanford earned royalties on annual Net Sales as follows:

 

Annual Net Sales of Licensed Product

   Royalty Rate  

< $[***]

     [***]

> $[***], < $[***]

     [***]

> $[***], < $[***]

     [***]

> $[***], < $[***]

     [***]

> $[***]

     [***]

Notwithstanding the above, the royalty rate for Licensed Products that are not Licensed Capsid Products sold in the [***] Field of Use and that (i) are covered only by a Valid Claim of a VT Licensed Patent shall be [***]% of the applicable royalty rate set forth in this Section 7.8 above that would otherwise have been payable to Stanford for such Licensed Products; and (ii) are Material Products only shall be [***]% of the applicable royalty rate set forth in this Section 7.8 above that would otherwise have been payable to Stanford for such Licensed Products. For clarity, if a Licensed Capsid Product is sold both within and outside the [***] Field of Use, then the royalty step-downs set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall apply to such Licensed Capsid Product, as applicable, solely to the extent such Licensed Capsid Product is used or sold outside the [***] Field of Use.

 

7.9

Earned Royalty if LogicBio Challenges the Patent. Notwithstanding the above, should LogicBio bring an action seeking to invalidate any Licensed Patent, LogicBio will pay royalties to Stanford at the rate of [***]% of the Net Sales of all Licensed Products sold during the pendency of such action. Moreover, should the outcome of such action determine that any claim of a patent challenged by LogicBio is both valid and infringed by a Licensed Product, LogicBio will pay royalties at the rate [***]% of the Net Sales of all Licensed Products sold.

7.10

Combination Product. In the event that a Licensed Product is sold in combination with another product, component or service for which no royalty would be due hereunder if sold separately, Net Sales from such combination sales for purposes of calculating the amounts due under this Article 7 shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the combination product or service by the fraction A/(A + B), where A is the average gross selling price during the preceding calendar quarter of the Licensed Product sold separately and B is the average gross selling price during the preceding calendar quarter of the other product(s), component(s) or service(s). In the event that separate sales of the Licensed Product and/or of the other product(s), component(s) or service(s) were not made during the preceding calendar quarter, then the Net Sales on the combination product shall be reasonably allocated between such Licensed Product, and such other product(s), component(s) or service(s) based upon their relative importance and proprietary protection as mutually agreed upon by Stanford and LogicBio.

 

7.11

Single Royalty. No more than one royalty payment under this Agreement shall be due to Stanford with respect to a sale of a particular Licensed Product. Multiple royalties shall not be payable because any Licensed Product, or its manufacture, sale or use, is covered by more than one claim within the GT Licensed Patent and VT Licensed Patent. No royalty shall be payable under Section 7.8 with respect to sales or other transfers of Licensed Products among LogicBio, its affiliates and sublicensees for resale (but the subsequent resale of such Licensed Product shall be included within the computation of Net Sales).

 

7.12

Royalty Stacking. If, during the term of this Agreement, LogicBio, its affiliates, or sublicensees makes payments to for any technology or intellectual property rights necessary for the manufacturing and/or selling of a Licensed Product, [***]% of any payments made under such license(s) shall be deductible from any royalty payments due to Stanford; provided that the amount of royalty payable to Stanford in any calendar year with respect to any such Licensed Product shall not be reduced under this Section 7.12, to less than[***]%.

 

7.13

Creditable Payments. The license maintenance fee for a year may be offset against earned royalty payments due on Net Sales occurring in that year.

For example:

 

  (A)

if LogicBio pays Stanford a $10 maintenance payment for year Y, and according to Section 7.8 $15 in earned royalties are due Stanford for Net Sales in year Y, LogicBio will only need to pay Stanford an additional $5 for that year’s earned royalties.

 

  (B)

if LogicBio pays Stanford a $10 maintenance payment for year Y, and according to Section 7.8 $3 in earned royalties are due Stanford for Net Sales in year Y, LogicBio will not need to pay Stanford any earned royalty payment for that year. LogicBio will not be able to offset the remaining $7 against a future year’s earned royalties.

7.14

Obligation to Pay Royalties. During the term of this Agreement, an earned royalty is due Stanford under this Agreement (i) on a country-by-country basis with respect to Net Sales of any Covered Product sold, used, manufactured or imported in an applicable country until the expiration of the last Valid Claim within the Licensed Patents in such country covering such Licensed Product; and (ii) with respect to Net Sales of any Material Product for [***] years from the first commercial sale of any Licensed Product. Commencing upon expiration of the applicable royalty term described in this Section 7.14 above, the licenses granted to LogicBio for the applicable Licensed Product will become perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free and fully paid-up. Nonetheless, if certain Licensed Products are made, used, imported, or offered for sale before the date this Agreement terminates, and those Licensed Products are sold after the termination date, LogicBio will pay Stanford an earned royalty for its exercise of rights based on the Net Sales of those Licensed Products.

 

7.15

No Escrow. LogicBio shall not pay royalties into any escrow or other similar account.

 

7.16

Currency. LogicBio will calculate the royalty on sales in currencies other than U.S. Dollars using the appropriate foreign exchange rate for the currency quoted by the Wall Street Journal on the close of business on the last banking day of each calendar quarter. LogicBio will make royalty payments to Stanford in U.S. Dollars.

 

7.17

Non-U.S. Taxes. LogicBio will pay all non-U.S. taxes related to royalty payments. These payments are not deductible from any payments due to Stanford.

 

7.18

Interest. Any payments not made when due will bear interest at the lower of (a) the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal plus [***] basis points or (b) the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

8.

ROYALTY REPORTS, PAYMENTS, AND ACCOUNTING

 

8.1

Quarterly Earned Royalty Payment and Report. Beginning with the first sale of a Licensed Product by LogicBio, its affiliate, or a sublicensee or the first grant of a Sublicense, whichever is first, LogicBio will submit to Stanford a written report (even if there are no sales or Sublicenses) and an earned royalty payment and a Nonroyalty Sublicensing Consideration payment (if applicable) within [***] days after the end of each calendar quarter. This report will be in the form of Appendix D and will state the number, description, and aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Product during the completed calendar quarter and details about any Sublicenses. The report will include an overview of the process and documents relied upon to permit Stanford to understand how the earned royalties and Nonroyalty Sublicensing Consideration payment are calculated. With each report LogicBio will include any earned royalty payment and Nonroyalty Sublicensing Consideration payment due Stanford for the completed calendar quarter (as calculated under Article 7 and Section 4.6).

8.2

No Refund. In the event that a validity or non-infringement challenge of a Licensed Patent brought by LogicBio is successful, LogicBio will have no right to recoup any royalties paid before or during the period challenge.

 

8.3

Termination Report. LogicBio will pay to Stanford all applicable unpaid royalties accrued as of the date of termination and submit to Stanford a written report within [***] days after the license terminates. LogicBio will continue to submit earned royalty payments and reports to Stanford after the license terminates, until all Licensed Products made or imported under the license have been sold.

 

8.4

Accounting. LogicBio will maintain records showing (a) LogicBio’s annual research and development efforts with respect to the Nominated Tissues and Active Indications for three years following the end of the applicable year and (b) manufacture, importation, sale, and use of a Licensed Product for [***] years from the date of sale of that Licensed Product. Records under the foregoing clause (b) will include general-ledger records showing cash receipts and expenses, and records that include: production records, customers, invoices, serial numbers, and related information in sufficient detail to enable Stanford to determine the royalties payable under this Agreement.

 

8.5

Audit by Stanford. Upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours LogicBio will allow Stanford or its designee to examine LogicBio’s records kept in accordance with Section 8.4 to verify LogicBio’s diligence obligations with respect to the Nominated Tissues and Active Indications and payments made by LogicBio under this Agreement.

 

8.6

Paying for Audit. Stanford will pay for any audit done under Section 8.5. But if the audit reveals an underreporting of earned royalties due Stanford of [***]% or more for the period being audited, LogicBio will pay the audit costs.

 

8.7

Self-audit. LogicBio will conduct an independent audit of sales and royalties at least every 2 years if annual sales of Licensed Product are over $[***]. The audit will address, at a minimum, the amount of gross sales by or on behalf of LogicBio during the audit period, the amount of funds owed to Stanford under this Agreement, and whether the amount owed has been paid to Stanford and is reflected in the records of LogicBio. LogicBio will submit the auditor’s report promptly to Stanford upon completion. LogicBio will pay for the entire cost of the audit.

If LogicBio still has an Exclusive license under the GT Licensed Patents in the Therapeutics Field of Use or Tissue Field of Use and is in good standing under this Agreement, Stanford will not grant to any third party, or amend, change, or modify any rights of a third party, to enforce the applicable Licensed Patents or institute a suit against or defend any declaratory judgment action initiated by a third party with respect to the Licensed Patents without the prior written consent of LogicBio.

 

14.4

Stanford Suit. If LogicBio does not exercise its first right pursuant to Section 14.3 or Stanford and the LogicBio do not agree to enter into a joint action pursuant to Section 14.5, then Stanford shall have the right to institute suit, and may name LogicBio as a party for standing purposes. If Stanford decides to institute suit, it will notify LogicBio in writing. If LogicBio does not notify Stanford in writing that it desires to jointly prosecute the suit within 15 days after the date of the notice in accordance with Section 14.5, LogicBio will assign and hereby does assign to Stanford all rights, causes of action, and damages resulting from the alleged infringement. Stanford will bear the entire cost of the litigation and, following reimbursement of any reasonable legal fees incurred by LogicBio in cooperating with such action by Stanford, Stanford will retain the entire amount of any recovery or settlement.

 

14.5

  (A)

prosecute the suit in both their names;

 

  (B)

bear the out-of-pocket costs equally;

 

  (C)

share any recovery or settlement equally; and

 

  (D)

agree how they will exercise control over the action.

 

14.6

LogicBio Suit. LogicBio shall have the first right to institute and prosecute a suit or defend any declaratory judgment action so long as it conforms with the requirements of this Section and LogicBio is diligently developing or selling Licensed Product. LogicBio will diligently pursue the suit and LogicBio will bear the entire cost of the litigation, including expenses and counsel fees incurred by Stanford. LogicBio will keep Stanford reasonably apprised of all developments in the suit, and will seek Stanford’s input and approval on any substantive submissions or positions taken in the litigation regarding the

  (B)

any payment for future sales will be deemed a payment under a Sublicense, and royalties will be shared as specified in Article 4; and

 

  (C)

LogicBio and Stanford will negotiate in good faith appropriate compensation to Stanford for any non-cash settlement or non-cash cross-license.

 

14.8
