Execution Version

SEPARATION AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Separation and Consulting Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) by and between Chris Garabedian (“Executive”) and Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), is made effective as of the eighth (8^th) day following Executive’s signature without revocation (the “Effective Date”) with reference to the following facts:

A. Executive was employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of an Executive Employment Agreement dated March 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”).

B. Executive resigned his employment and his positions as an officer of the Company, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and a member of all Board committees on which Executive served effective March 31, 2015 (the “Resignation Date”) and has served as a consultant to the Company since his Resignation Date.

C. The Company wishes to continue to retain Executive as a consultant, and Executive is willing to provide consulting services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

D. Executive and the Company want to end the employment relationship amicably and also to establish the obligations of the parties including, without limitation, all amounts due and owing to the Executive under the terms of the Employment Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. Resignation Date; Consulting Services.

a. Executive’s Resignation. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his status as an officer, employee and director of the Company ended on the Resignation Date. Executive hereby agrees to execute such further document(s) as shall be reasonably determined by the Company as necessary or desirable to give effect to the termination of Executive’s status as an officer and director of the Company; provided that such documents shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement and Executive’s resignation shall be treated as a termination other than for Cause under the provisions of Section 8(a) of the Employment Agreement.

b. Consulting Services. Beginning effective April 1, 2015 and ending on the earlier of June 1, 2016 or the date upon which the Company terminates Executive for Cause as defined herein or Executive determines to terminate the consulting services arrangement for any reason (the “Consulting Period”), Executive shall be retained by the Company as a Consultant, and shall be available for a period not to exceed five hours per week to (i) answer questions with respect to matters that were previously within the scope of Executive’s responsibilities, and (ii) cooperate with the Company with respect to any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding involving matters within the scope of Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or its affiliates during his employment with the Company (including, without limitation, Executive being available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s reasonable request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, and turning over to the Company all relevant Company documents which are or may

1

have come into Executive’s possession during his employment) (the “Consulting Services”). The Company agrees to remove Executive from the list of Key Personnel covered by the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, as defined therein, and to act in good faith during the Consulting Period in determining whether Executive should be added to the list of Key Personnel based upon his consulting activities. Executive agrees to comply at all times during the Consulting Period with the Insider Trading Policy and applicable securities laws. The Company’s requests for Consulting Services shall not be unduly burdensome or interfere with Executive’s personal schedule or ability to engage in gainful employment and Executive shall not be required to perform Consulting Services which are against his own legal interests. The Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable, pre-approved (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing Consulting Services (including all reasonable legal fees if Executive reasonably determines that separate legal counsel is appropriate). “Cause” shall mean (x) Executive’s failure to reasonably provide Consulting Services requested by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 1(b), or (y) Executive’s material breach of his continuing obligations pursuant to this Agreement, Sections 13 or 14 of the Employment Agreement, or the AVI Biopharma, Inc. Confidential Information Agreement entered into between Executive and the Company as of January 1, 2011 (the “Confidential Information Agreement”); provided, that, Executive shall not be terminated for Cause shall unless and until the Company provides Executive with written notice that it believes a Cause event has occurred and provides Executive with no less than 30 days to cure such Cause event if curable. Executive’s provision of Consulting Services shall not preclude Executive from accepting other employment during the Consulting period, subject to his post-employment restrictive covenant obligations under the Employment Agreement. If the Company terminates the Executive without Cause or the Executive ceases to provide Consulting Services following a material breach of this Agreement by the Company which is not cured within 30 days after Executive provides notice thereof, the Executive’s rights hereunder shall continue in effect as if the Consulting Period continued until June 1, 2016, but he shall have no obligation to render Consulting Services.

2. Severance and Consulting Period Benefits. The Company hereby agrees, subject to (i) Executive’s signature of this Agreement without revocation and (ii) Executive’s performance of his continuing obligations pursuant to this Agreement, Sections 13 and 14 of the Employment Agreement, and the Confidential Information Agreement, to provide to Executive the following payments and benefits.

a. Severance Payments. Commencing on the payroll date that is no less than five (5) business days following the Effective Date, the Company shall pay to Executive severance at a rate equal to Executive’s monthly base salary as of the Resignation Date for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Severance Payments”). All Severance Payments shall be made in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and shall be reduced by all applicable tax withholding.

b. Equity. In accordance with the Employment Agreement, on the Resignation Date, 50% of each outstanding unvested equity award issued to Executive, (excluding, for this purpose, the performance-based grant dated June 4, 2013 (the “Performance Award”) which is addressed below) shall automatically become vested and, if applicable, exercisable and any forfeiture restrictions or rights of repurchase thereto shall immediately lapse. The remaining 50% of Executive’s unvested equity awards (again excluding the Performance Award) shall continue to vest in accordance with the respective terms of Executive’s outstanding award agreements and the terms of the Company’s equity plan under

2

which they were granted through June 1, 2016. All equity awards unvested as of June 1, 2016 shall be immediately forfeited and of no further force or effect. With respect to Executive’s Performance Award, (i) on the Resignation Date, an additional 15,609 shares of the earned Performance Award shall automatically become vested and, if applicable, exercisable and any forfeiture restrictions or rights of repurchase thereto shall immediately lapse and (ii) all remaining shares of the Performance Award, to the extent not already vested, shall be immediately forfeited as of the Resignation Date and of no further force or effect. Executive agrees that 24,167 shares under the non-qualified stock option granted to him on August 23, 2012 shall be rescinded by the Company without further consideration (which cancellation shall be based first on the shares to vest after the Resignation Date and the remainder from shares deemed vested on or prior to the Resignation Date). Executive shall have until December 1, 2016 to exercise vested stock options which either are vested as of the Resignation Date or become vested as specifically set forth in this Section 2.b. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 2, Executive’s rights with respect to equity awards granted to him shall be governed by the applicable equity plan, award and agreement (the “Equity Agreements”). For the avoidance of doubt, Exhibit A hereto sets forth a list of all stock options and other equity awards (i) vested as of the Resignation Date (including those already vested prior to the Resignation Date), (ii) unvested as of the Resignation Date, but continuing to vest by their terms until June 1, 2016 and (iii) forfeited as of the Resignation Date. For the further avoidance of doubt, the vesting and exercise terms set forth in this Section 2.b. supersede and replace all vesting and exercise terms stated in the Equity Agreements and the Employment Agreement.

3. Final Paycheck; Payment of Accrued Wages and Expenses; Stock Options.

a. Final Paycheck. Executive acknowledges receipt, on the Resignation Date, of an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid base salary, incentive compensation and all accrued and unused vacation earned through the Resignation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. Executive is entitled to these payments regardless of whether Executive executes this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he is not entitled to bonus compensation for 2015. Executive shall also receive all vested accrued benefits and compensation to which he is entitled under the respective terms and conditions of the Company’s employee benefits and compensation plans and arrangements as of the Resignation Date.

b. Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all outstanding expenses incurred prior to the Resignation Date that are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel and other business expenses, subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documenting such expenses. Executive acknowledges that he has submitted for reimbursement all outstanding expenses due to him by the Company. Executive is entitled to these payments regardless of whether Executive executes this Agreement prior to the date of execution of this Agreement.

c. Indemnification/ D & O Insurance. Executive shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and by the Company’s by-laws for all acts and omissions during his employment through the Resignation Date and during the Consulting Period. Executive shall continue to be covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, including any applicable “tail” coverage, on the same basis that the Company’s directors and officers are covered thereunder.

3

4. Full Payment. Executive acknowledges that the payment and arrangements herein shall constitute full and complete satisfaction of any and all amounts properly due and owing to Executive as a result of his employment with the Company and his resignation thereof. Executive further acknowledges that, other than the Confidential Information Agreement and the Equity Agreements, this Agreement supersedes and replaces each agreement entered into between Executive and the Company regarding Executive’s employment, including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement, and each such agreement other than the Confidential Information Agreement and Equity Agreements shall be deemed terminated and of no further effect as of the Resignation Date.

5. Executive and Company Releases.
