(the “Company” or “Sarepta”), is made effective as of the date following Employee’s signature and the expiration of the seven (7) day revocation period without revocation (the “Effective Date”) with reference to the following facts:

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

1.Separation Date.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that his/her status as an employee of the Company ends on the Separation Date.  Employee hereby agrees to execute such further document(s) as shall be determined by the Company as necessary or desirable to give effect to the termination of Employee’s status as an employee or officer (or any other capacity) of the Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided that such documents shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.

2.Equity. Except as provided in Section 3 below, nothing herein shall amend or supersede the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and the Company’s 2002 Equity Incentive Plan,  as restated and amended, or any grants of options or restricted stock provided to Employee, if any, thereunder (collectively, the “Equity Agreement”).  Employee will be entitled to exercise only those stock options granted under the Equity Agreement that are vested as of the Separation Date (“Vested Options”) as

detailed in the Equity Ownership Report attached hereto as Exhibit A, and only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Equity Agreement.  Any stock options that are unvested as of the Separation Date will revert to the Company on the Separation Date.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that he/she does not now, and will not in the future, have rights to vest in any other stock options or equity under any stock option or other equity plan (of whatever name or kind) that Employee participated in, or was eligible to participate in, during his/her employment with the Company.

3.Separation Benefits.  The Company hereby agrees, subject to (i) Employee’s signing of this Agreement without revocation and (ii) Employee’s performance of his/her continuing obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and the Confidential Proprietary Rights and Non-Disclosure Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit B), to provide to Employee the following benefit: the Company will extend the post-termination exercise period (as defined in the Equity Agreement) for the Vested Options to December 31, 2020. Employee hereby acknowledges that to the extent the Vested Options were intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422(d) of the IRS Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), it will cease to do so as of the date of this Agreement and it will be treated as a nonstatutory stock option and all applicable federal and state income and employment withholding taxes will apply in connection with the exercise of the Vested Options.

(a)Final Paycheck.  Employee acknowledges that on or about the Separation Date, Employee received any and all (a) unpaid regular wages and/or any vacation time accrued through the Separation Date; and (b) any other monies under any other form of compensation or benefit that was due to Employee in connection with his/her employment with, or separation of employment from, the Company.  Employee is entitled to these payments regardless of whether Employee executes this Agreement.
