Re: Retention Bonus Agreement

Dear Cameron,

We value your knowledge and contributions at Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (as used herein the “Company”).

The periods from today through (i) June 30, 2019, and (ii) January 31, 2020 (collectively, the “Retention Dates” and each, a “Retention Date”) are each referred to herein as a “Retention Period.” You are eligible to receive two lump sum retention payments, as described below (collectively, the “Lump Sum Retention Payments” and each, a “Lump Sum Retention Payment”), provided you satisfy each of the eligible criteria listed below (the “Criteria”), as determined in the Company’s sole discretion.
