WHEREAS, the undersigned represent the parties capable of causing a valid amendment to the Agreement.

The Closing.

Amendments. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (other than a Purchaser closing condition, which may not be waived), either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively, only with the written consent of OvaScience, the Company and the affected Purchaser. Each of the Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that (i) none of the Shares will be registered on a Form S-4 and will only be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and (ii) the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement may be amended or modified or any provision waived in accordance with its terms and that, subject to Section 5.4 hereof, any such amendment, modification or waiver shall not impact or modify the obligations of any Purchaser to purchase Shares or otherwise hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Purchaser shall have the right to allocate its purchase amount among its Affiliates in such amounts as it determines in its discretion and Schedule I shall be updated correspondingly; provided, however, no such allocation shall relieve such Purchaser of any liabilities or obligations it may have pursuant to this Agreement.”

Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any Purchaser, upon any breach or default of OvaScience or the Company under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such Purchaser nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence in such breach or default, or of or in any similar breach or default occurring after such breach or default; nor shall any permitted waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after such breach or default. Any permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Purchaser of any breach or default under this Agreement or any waiver on the part of any Purchaser of any provisions of this Agreement, other than a Purchaser closing condition, must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any Purchaser shall be cumulative and not alternative.”

Rights of Purchasers.
