Portion of aggregate annual worldwide Net Sales of all Products that Specifically Bind to a given Exclusive Gene Target in a given Calendar Year:			Royalty Rate
Less than or equal to [*]			[*]
Greater than [] but less than or equal to []			[*]
Greater than [*]			[*]

3.Aggregation of Net Sales. For the purposes of determining the applicable royalty tier for a Calendar Year, Net Sales in such Calendar Year of all Products that Specifically Bind to the same Exclusive Gene Target shall be aggregated together. For example, if Net Sales in a Calendar Year for all Products that Specifically Bind to the same Exclusive Gene Target equal [*], the royalty payments on such Net Sales will be equal to [*], calculated as follows: (i) [*] on the amount of Net Sales less than or equal to [*]; (ii) [*] on the amount of Net Sales greater than [*] but less than or equal to [*]; and (iii) [*] on the amount of Net Sales greater than [*].

4.One Royalty. Only one (1) royalty shall be due under this Agreement: (i) with respect to the sale of the same unit of Product; and (ii) on the sale of a Product even if the Manufacture or Commercialization of such Product in the Therapeutic Field is Covered by more than one (1) Valid Claim.

5.Royalty Term. Novartis’s royalty payment obligations under Section 9.3a) shall expire, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, upon the latest of: (i) with respect to all Products that Specifically Bind to a given Exclusive Gene Target, the tenth (10th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of the first Product that Specifically Binds to

Confidential Execution Version

such Target in such country; (ii) the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim in the Licensed Patents in such country that Covers the sale or use of such Product in the Therapeutic Field or the Manufacture of such Product intended for use or sale in the Therapeutic Field; and (iii) the expiration of all Regulatory Exclusivity, if any, granted for such Product in such country in the Therapeutic Field (the “Royalty Term”). For clarity, if a new Regulatory Approval is required for a particular Product, then it shall be deemed to be a separate Product from the Product that first obtained Regulatory Approval.

6.Royalty Reductions.

vii.Know-How Royalty. If a Product is sold in a country in the Territory during the applicable Royalty Term at a time when there is no Valid Claim in such country that Covers the sale or use of such Product in the Therapeutic Field or the Manufacture of such Product intended for use or sale in the Therapeutic Field and all Regulatory Exclusivity, if any, granted for such Product in the Therapeutic Field in such country has expired, then, for purposes of Section 9.3(a), the royalty rate applicable to the Net Sales of such Product in such country during such time shall be reduced by [*] of the average royalty rate otherwise applicable under Section 9.3(a).

viii.Loss of Market Exclusivity. If a Product is sold in a country in the Territory during the applicable Royalty Term at a time when a Loss of Market Exclusivity has occurred with respect to such Product in such country, then, for purposes of Section 9.3(a), the royalty rate applicable to the Net Sales of such Product in such country during the Calendar Quarter in which such Loss of Market Exclusivity occurred [*] shall be reduced by [*] of the average royalty rate otherwise applicable under Section 9.3(a), [*].

ii.Royalty Floor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the operation of Section 9.3(e)(i), Section 9.3(e)(ii) or Section 9.3(e)(iii), individually or in combination, reduce the royalties paid to Sangamo with respect to the Net Sales of any Product in any country in the Territory in any Calendar Quarter to less than [*] of the royalty payment that would otherwise have been due pursuant to Section 9.3a) with respect to such Net Sales; provided, that, in each of the foregoing circumstances, any such reduction with respect to a Product not fully taken as a result of the application of this Section 9.3(e)(iv) may be carried forward and applied against future royalties otherwise owed with respect to [*], in each case, in such country in the Territory.

Confidential Execution Version

iii.Example Royalty Reduction Calculations. Exhibit G sets forth examples of the application of the royalty reductions set forth in this Section 9.3(e).

7.Reports and Payment. Within [*] days after each Calendar Quarter, commencing with the Calendar Quarter during which any Net Sales of any Products are made anywhere in the Territory, Novartis shall provide Sangamo with a report that contains the following information for the applicable Calendar Quarter, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis: (i) the amount of Net Sales of each Product in Dollars, (ii) a calculation of the royalty payment due on such Net Sales, including the application of any reduction made in accordance with Section 9.3e), and (iii) the aggregate annual Net Sales and whether any Commercial Milestone Event has been achieved. After its receipt of such report, Sangamo shall submit an Invoice to Novartis for the corresponding royalty payment. Novartis shall pay to Sangamo such amount within [*] days after receipt by Novartis of such Invoice.

1.Diagnostic Field Royalties. Prior to Developing or Commercializing any Product for the Diagnostic Field, Novartis shall provide written notice of such intent to Develop or Commercialize such Product for the Diagnostic Field and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement setting forth reasonable royalties (including royalty rate, royalty term and any royalty reductions) payable by Novartis to Sangamo with respect to the Commercialization of any such Product in the Diagnostic Field. If the Parties cannot agree on such financial terms within a period of [*] days of Sangamo’s receipt of such written notice from Novartis, then such dispute shall be referred to the Executive Officers of the Parties for resolution. If the Executive Officers do not fully resolve such matter within [*] Business Days (or a later date agreed to by the Parties) of the matter being referred to them, then such financial terms shall be decided by baseball arbitration pursuant to the terms set forth on Exhibit H. On a Product-by-Product basis, Novartis, its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall not have the right to Commercialize any Product in the Diagnostic Field until the Parties have executed an amendment to this Agreement setting forth the agreed upon royalty payment obligations with respect to the Commercialization of such Product in the Diagnostic Field.

d.Currency; Exchange Rate. All amounts payable and calculations under this Agreement shall be in Dollars. All payments to be made by Novartis to Sangamo under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated by written notice from Sangamo. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars for the payment due shall be made by using Novartis’s then-current standard exchange rate methodology as applied in its external reporting for the conversion of foreign currency sales into Dollars.

e.Currency Restrictions. In the event that, by reason of applicable Law in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for a Party to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments owed the other Party under this Agreement, such Party will promptly notify the other Party of the conditions preventing such transfer and such payments will be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of the other Party in a recognized banking institution designated by the other Party (or, if none is designated by the other Party within a

Confidential Execution Version

period of [*] days of the other Party’s receipt of such notice, in a recognized banking institution selected by the transferring Party) and identified in a written notice given to the other Party.

f.Late Payments. If Novartis fails to make any payment of any sum due under this Agreement by the date on which such payment is due, then, without limiting any other right or remedy of Sangamo, such late payment shall be paid together with interest thereon at an annual rate (but with interest accruing on a daily basis) of [*] plus the three (3)-month USD-LIBOR rate (or, if the three (3)-month USD LIBOR rate is no longer available, its official successor or such other comparable interbank three (3)-month borrowing rate) as quoted on Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg no longer exists, a similarly authoritative source) from the date on which such payment was originally due until the date of payment; provided, that such rate shall not exceed the rate permissible under applicable Law.

g.Tax.

2.Indirect Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.7, any payments made under this Agreement are exclusive of any transfer taxes such as sales, use, transfer, documentary, stamp, registration, VAT, goods or service (GST), or similar tax (each, an “Indirect Tax”), which shall be added thereon as applicable. If any Indirect Tax is required with respect to the transactions, payments or the related transfer of rights or other property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to applicable Law, Novartis shall pay such Indirect Tax (and shall indemnify Sangamo for such Indirect Taxes) at the applicable rate with respect to any such payments following the receipt of a valid invoice. The Parties will reasonably cooperate to issue valid tax invoices for all amounts due under this Agreement consistent with applicable Law. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to report, eliminate or minimize the amount of any Indirect Tax imposed on the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

3.Income and Withholding Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.7, each Party shall be responsible for its own taxes (including taxes imposed on or measured by Net Sales, capital, franchise or similar taxes pursuant to applicable Law). In the event any payments made by Novartis to Sangamo pursuant to this Agreement shall become subject to withholding taxes under the laws or regulation of any jurisdiction, Novartis shall deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of Sangamo to the extent required by applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an action taken by Novartis (including any assignment pursuant to Section 15.2, any sublicense of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, any transfer of payment obligations hereunder, a change in Tax residency of Novartis, or payments arise or are deemed to arise through a branch of Novartis or any failure to comply with applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements) leads to the imposition of withholding tax liability on payment to Sangamo that would not have been imposed in the absence of such action or an increase in such liability above the liability that would have been imposed in the absence of such action, then the sum payable by Novartis (with respect to which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that Sangamo receives a sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such action occurred. Any payments due to Sangamo pursuant to this Section 9.7(b) shall promptly be paid by Novartis upon request from Sangamo.

Confidential Execution Version

4.Tax Cooperation. To the extent that Novartis is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payments under this Agreement, Novartis shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Sangamo an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable Sangamo to claim such payments of taxes. Novartis shall request from Sangamo any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Novartis not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Sangamo shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to Novartis at least [*] days prior to the due date for any payments for which Sangamo desires that Novartis apply a reduced withholding rate. Each Party shall provide the other Party with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by applicable Law, of withholding taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax, Indirect Taxes, or similar obligations.

h.Financial Records and Audit.

5.Each Party shall keep complete, true and accurate books and records in accordance with its Accounting Standards in relation to this Agreement in sufficient detail to permit the other Party to confirm the accuracy of the amount of Collaboration Costs subject to sharing or reimbursement, royalty payments, and achievement of Commercial Milestone Events. Each Party will keep such books and records for at least [*] years following the Calendar Year to which they pertain. The auditing Party may, upon written request, cause an internationally-recognized independent accounting firm which is reasonably acceptable to audited Party (the “Auditor”) to inspect the relevant books and records of the audited Party and its Affiliates to verify such Collaboration Costs, royalty payments, achievement of Commercial Milestone Events, and other amounts payable by the audited Party and the related reports, statements and books of accounts, as applicable. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an agreement reasonably acceptable to the audited Party pursuant to which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all information reviewed during the audit.

6.The audited Party and its Affiliates shall make their records available for inspection by the Auditor during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the auditing Party. The records shall be reviewed solely to verify the accuracy of payments made by the audited Party. Such inspection right shall not be exercised more than once in any Calendar Year and not more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time. In addition, the auditing Party shall only be entitled to audit the books and records of the auditing Party from the [*] Calendar Years prior to the Calendar Year in which the audit request is made. The auditing Party agrees to hold in strict confidence all information received and all information learned in the course of any audit, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or to the extent required to comply with any applicable Law. The Auditor shall provide its audit report and basis for any determination to the audited Party at the time such report is provided to the auditing Party before it is considered final. The Auditor shall have the right to disclose to the auditing Party only its conclusions regarding any payments owed under this Agreement.

Confidential Execution Version

7.The audited Party shall have the right to request a further determination by such Auditor as to matters which the audited Party disputes within [*] days following receipt of such report. The audited Party will provide the auditing Party and the Auditor with a reasonably detailed statement of the grounds upon which it disputes any findings in the audit report and the Auditor shall undertake to complete such further determination within [*] days after the dispute notice is provided, which determination shall be limited to the disputed matters. Any matter that remains unresolved shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.5.

8.In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment by the audited Party, the underpaid or overpaid amount shall be settled promptly. The auditing Party shall pay for such inspections, as well as its expenses associated with enforcing its rights with respect to any payments hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an underpayment of more than [*] of the total payments due for the applicable audit period is discovered, the fees and expenses charged by the Auditor shall be paid by the audited Party.

i.No Projections. Sangamo and Novartis acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as representing an estimate or projection of whether any Milestone Event will be achieved or of anticipated sales of any Product, and that the Milestone Events and Net Sales levels set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement or that have otherwise been discussed by the Parties are merely intended to define the Milestone Payments and royalty obligations to Sangamo in the event the corresponding Milestone Events or such Net Sales levels are achieved. NEITHER SANGAMO NOR NOVARTIS MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP OR COMMERCIALIZE ANY PRODUCT OR, IF COMMERCIALIZED, THAT ANY PARTICULAR MILESTONE EVENT OR NET SALES LEVEL OF SUCH PRODUCT WILL BE ACHIEVED.

j.Non-Refundable and Non-Creditable Payments. Notwithstanding the non-refundable or non-creditable nature of any payments hereunder, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 14.5, nothing in this Agreement shall limit either Party’s rights to assert or obtain damages for breach of this Agreement, including damages calculated based on the payments made under this Agreement.

The Parties agree that after a press release (including the initial press release) or other public announcement has been reviewed and approved by Novartis under this Section 11.6, Sangamo may reissue the public disclosures contained in such press release (in the same or similar format) without having to obtain Novartis’ prior consent and approval.

5.Use of Names.

vii.Each Party agrees that the other Party shall have the right to use (without prior approval) such first Party’s name and corporate logos in presentations, such Party’s website, collateral materials, slide decks and corporate overviews solely to disclose the fact that the Parties are in a collaboration relationship (and, for clarity, without identifying specific Targets or Products unless and until such Targets or Products are publicly known to be subject to this Agreement), as well as in taglines of press releases issued pursuant to this Section 11.6.

viii.Subject to Section 11.6(d)(i), neither Party shall use the name, trade name, service marks, trademarks, trade, dress or logos of the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) in publicity releases, advertising or any other publication, without the other Party’s prior written consent in each instance.

Article 12.

TERM AND TERMINATION

a.Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and continue in full force and effect, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, until the expiration of the Royalty Term for such Product in such country, unless earlier terminated as set forth in Section 12.2 below (the “Term”). Upon expiration (but not earlier termination) of this Agreement for a particular Product in a particular country, the licenses granted by Sangamo to Novartis under Section 2.1a) for such Product in such country shall continue and shall become fully paid, royalty free, perpetual and irrevocable.

b.Termination.

6.Termination by Novartis for Convenience. Novartis may terminate this Agreement on an Exclusive Gene Target-by-Exclusive Gene Target basis, or in its entirety, without cause, for any or no reason, by providing written notice of termination to Sangamo, which notice includes an effective date of termination at least [*] days after the notice if Novartis has not [*] for any Product that Specifically Binds to such Exclusive Gene Target, and at least [*] days after the date of the notice if Novartis has [*] for any Product that Specifically Binds to such Exclusive Gene Target.

7.Termination for Material Breach.

ix.Breach Notice. If either Party believes that the other Party is in material breach of its obligations hereunder, then the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach (“Breach Notice”) to the other Party. Subject to Section 12.2(b)(ii), if the Party receiving

Confidential Execution Version

notice of breach fails to cure such breach within the applicable period set forth below, then the Party originally delivering the notice of breach may terminate this Agreement effective on written notice of termination to the other Party. For all such breaches other than a failure to make a payment as set forth in this Agreement, the allegedly breaching Party shall have [*] days from such Breach Notice to cure such breach. For any such breach arising from a failure to make a payment set forth in this Agreement, the cure period shall be [*] days. For clarity, any failure to make an upfront payment or Milestone Payment when due shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

x.Disputes Regarding Material Breach. In case the breaching Party disputes the occurrence of such material breach, then the alleged breaching Party shall give written notice of such dispute no later than [*] days after its receipt of the Breach Notice and the issue of whether the non-breaching Party may properly terminate this Agreement on expiration of the applicable cure period will be resolved in accordance with Section 15.5. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect during the pendency of such dispute resolution proceeding and the cure periods set forth in Section 12.2(b)(i) will be tolled during such dispute resolution proceeding, such proceeding will not suspend any obligations of either Party hereunder, and each Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages. If as a result of such dispute resolution process, it is determined that the breaching Party committed a material breach of this Agreement and the breaching Party does not cure such material breach within (A) [*] days in the case of a material breach caused by failure to make a payment set forth in this Agreement or (B) [*] days in the case of any other material breach, as applicable, after the date of such determination, (the “Additional Cure Period”), then such termination will be effective as of the expiration of the Additional Cure Period. If, as a result of such dispute resolution proceeding, it is determined that the alleged breaching Party did not commit a material breach of this Agreement, then no termination will be effective, and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

1.Patent Challenge. Except to the extent the following is unenforceable under the laws of a particular jurisdiction, if Novartis or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, individually or in association with any other Person, commences a legal action anywhere in the world challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of:

i.any Sangamo Patent and at such time [*] (each, a “Sangamo Patent Challenge”), and Novartis, its Affiliate or Sublicensee, as applicable, is not successful in such challenge (based on the determination of a court or other Governmental Authority which is not appealable to the Federal Circuit (or any corresponding court outside of the U.S., as applicable) or has not been appealed to such court within the time allowed for appeal), then at Sangamo’s election (A) Sangamo shall have the right to increase all future [*] payable by Novartis hereunder by [*] with respect to Products Covered by (i) the Sangamo Patent subject to such Sangamo Patent Challenge or (ii) any [*] and (B) Novartis shall [*]; or

ii.any Licensed Patent under circumstances not addressed under subsection (i) above, including any [*] Licensed Patent or any [*] Joint Patent (each, a “Critical Patent Challenge”), then (A) at Sangamo’s election at any time after the commencement of such legal

Confidential Execution Version

action, such challenged Patent Right shall no longer constitute a Licensed Patent worldwide, (B) if Sangamo does not elect to have such Patent Right no longer constitute a Licensed Patent pursuant to subsection (A) above, and Novartis, its Affiliate or Sublicensee, as applicable, is not successful in such challenge (based on the determination of a court or other Governmental Authority which is not appealable to the Federal Circuit (or any corresponding court outside of the U.S., as applicable) or has not been appealed to such court within the time allowed for appeal), then at Sangamo’s election, Sangamo shall have the right to increase all future [*] payable by Novartis hereunder by [*] with respect to Products Covered by (i) the Licensed Patent subject to such Critical Patent Challenge or (ii) any [*] and (C) if Novartis, its Affiliate or Sublicensee, as applicable, is not successful in such challenge (based on the determination of a court or other Governmental Authority which is not appealable to the Federal Circuit (or any corresponding court outside of the U.S., as applicable) or has not been appealed to such court within the time allowed for appeal), then, at Sangamo’s election, Novartis shall [*].

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sangamo shall not have the right to elect any remedies under Section 12.2(c)(i) or Section 12.2(c)(ii) on account of (x) any such legal action commenced by a Sublicensee of Novartis or its Affiliates if Novartis or its Affiliate, as applicable, terminates such Sublicensee’s sublicense to the Licensed Technology within [*] days of becoming aware of such legal action, (y) any such legal action commenced in [*] or (z) any such legal action commenced by a Third Party that becomes an Affiliate of Novartis as a result of an acquisition of such Third Party by Novartis, provided, that such legal action was commenced prior to such acquisition of such Third Party by Novartis.

2.Novartis Special Remedy. In the event that Novartis would have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.2(b) due to Sangamo’s uncured material breach of (i) [*] or (ii) any other Section of this Agreement as a result of [*] (except where Sangamo in good faith disputes that such obligation exists), then Novartis may, in its sole discretion, elect to either exercise such termination right or, in lieu of exercising such termination right, and without limiting Novartis’ rights otherwise set forth under this Agreement: (A) terminate all licenses granted by Novartis to Sangamo hereunder except pursuant to Section 12.3, including any sublicenses granted by Sangamo under such licenses; (B) terminate any [*] hereunder with respect to [*], including under [*]; (C) except with respect to the Collaboration (including the Collaboration Plan and Collaboration Budget) and with respect to intellectual property matters, terminate any [*] rights of Sangamo under this Agreement, including any [*]; (D) reduce Novartis’ ongoing [*] reporting obligations to a [*]; or (E) reduce the amount of any future [*] payable by Novartis hereunder by [*] (provided, that, to the extent Novartis brings an action against Sangamo for such material breach and Novartis is awarded damages as a result of such action, (x) the amount of such damages will be reduced by the amount, if any, of any reductions to such [*] that Novartis has taken pursuant to sub-clause (E) at the time of such damages award and (y) any reductions to [*] that Novartis is entitled to take pursuant to sub-clause (E) after such damages award shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of the awarded damages paid by Sangamo as a result of such action). For clarity, Novartis shall only be considered to have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.2(b) after the applicable notice period and, if applicable, the Additional Cure Period have expired without a

Confidential Execution Version

cure. In no event shall Novartis be entitled to elect the remedy under this Section 12.2(d) more than one (1) time.

3.Termination for Insolvency. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, either Party may terminate this Agreement following the Effective Date upon (i) the filing or institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings, including such proceedings commenced by the other Party seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to such Party, seeking to adjudicate such Party as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to such Party or its debts, (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official over all or substantially all property of the other Party, or (iii) an assignment of a substantial portion of the assets for the benefit of creditors by the other Party (each of the events or occurrences described in sub-clauses (i) through (iii), an “Insolvency Event”); provided, however, that, in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, such right to terminate will only become effective if the Party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within [*] days after the filing thereof.

a.Effects of Termination.

4.General. Upon termination of this Agreement, (i) all licenses and other rights granted by Sangamo to Novartis under this Agreement shall terminate, all sublicenses granted by Novartis shall terminate, all Products with respect to which this Agreement is terminated shall become “Terminated Products” and all Collaboration Candidates with respect to which this Agreement is terminated shall become “Terminated Candidates”; and (ii) all licenses and other rights granted by Novartis to Sangamo under Section 2.2 (and all sublicenses thereunder granted by Sangamo) shall terminate with respect to Terminated Targets, Terminated Products and Terminated Candidates; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated on an Exclusive Gene Target-by-Exclusive Gene Target basis, then this Section 12.3 shall only apply to the Terminated Target(s), only Products that Specifically Bind to such Terminated Target(s) shall be Terminated Products and only Collaboration Candidates that Specifically Bind to such Terminated Target(s) shall be Terminated Candidates. For clarity, if an Exclusive Gene Target constitutes a Terminated Target pursuant to Section 1.174(b), then the Agreement shall be terminated with respect to such Target. Upon termination of this Agreement, Novartis and its Affiliates shall not, and shall not enable or facilitate any Third Party to, practice or use any Invention jointly owned by Novartis pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including any Patent Rights claiming any such Invention) to Develop, Commercialize or otherwise Exploit any (i) (A) fusion protein comprising a ZFP contained in a Collaboration ZFP, (B) polynucleotide encoding any such fusion protein or (C) method of using any such fusion protein or (ii) product incorporating or using a fusion protein, polynucleotide or method described in the foregoing subsection (i).

5.License to Sangamo. Effective upon termination of this Agreement by Sangamo pursuant to Section 12.2(b) or Section 12.2(e) or by Novartis pursuant to Section 12.2(a), Novartis hereby grants Sangamo an exclusive worldwide, fee-bearing (subject to Section

Confidential Execution Version

12.3(c)) license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, (i) under its interest in Novartis Product Technology to Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize and otherwise Exploit Reversion Products in the Field and (ii) under its interest in Product Trademarks to Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize and otherwise Exploit in the Field Reversion Products that are being Commercialized as of the effective date of termination.

6.Negotiation of Financial Terms for Reversion License. Upon any termination of this Agreement by Sangamo pursuant to [*] or by Novartis pursuant to [*], to the extent requested by either Party in writing within [*] days following the effective date of such termination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith reasonable financial compensation payable by Sangamo to Novartis with respect to the exercise of the license granted to Sangamo pursuant to Section 12.3(b). If the Parties cannot agree on such financial terms within a period of [*] days of receipt of such written notice by Sangamo, then such dispute shall be referred to the Executive Officers of the Parties for resolution. If the Executive Officers do not fully resolve such matter within [*] Business Days (or a later date agreed to by each of the Parties) of the matter being referred to them, then such financial terms shall be decided by baseball arbitration pursuant to the terms set forth on Exhibit H.

7.Transition to Sangamo. Within a reasonable period of time following the receipt of notice of termination given under this Agreement by Sangamo pursuant to Section 12.2(b) or Section 12.2(e) or by Novartis pursuant to Section 12.2(a), the Parties shall meet to mutually agree upon a transition plan to effect an orderly and timely transition to Sangamo of applicable Development, Manufacture and Commercialization activities and responsibilities with respect to the Reversion Products, which shall be subject to Novartis’s sell off right in Section 12.3(e), if applicable, and which shall incorporate the following elements (which elements do not require mutual agreement after notice of termination) and other provisions as mutually agreed upon by the Parties:

iii.Upon Sangamo’s written request, (A) assignment and transfer to Sangamo (or its designee) of all Regulatory Materials [*] to the Reversion Products in the Territory and (B) to the extent not already assigned or transferred pursuant to (A) above, grant a right of reference or use with respect to any DMF that relates to any Reversion Product in the Territory to the extent [*] for preparing and submitting Regulatory Materials for such Reversion Product to a competent Regulatory Authority or to the extent used or referenced by Novartis, its Affiliates or Sublicensees in its Regulatory Materials for such Reversion Product, and Novartis shall take other actions reasonably requested by Sangamo to provide Sangamo or its designee access to and the benefit of such DMF, including the data contained or referenced therein. If Novartis is prohibited by applicable Law from assigning or transferring ownership of any of the foregoing items to Sangamo, Novartis shall grant Sangamo (or its designee) a right of reference or use to such item as provided above and shall take other actions reasonably requested by Sangamo to provide Sangamo or its designee access to and such benefit of such Regulatory Materials, including the data contained or referenced therein. Each Party shall take actions reasonably necessary to effect such assignment and transfer or grant of right of reference or use to Sangamo (or its designee), including by making such filings with Regulatory Authorities in the Territory that may be necessary to record such assignment or effect such transfer and, at Sangamo’s

Confidential Execution Version

written request, to complete any pending regulatory filings with respect to the Reversion Products.

iv.Upon Sangamo’s written request, transfer to Sangamo (or its designee) a copy of all Know-How within the Novartis Product Technology with respect to the applicable Reversion Product. For clarity, such Know-How that is solely and specifically related to any Reversion Product shall be deemed to constitute the Confidential Information of each Party.

v.Upon Sangamo’s written request, provide to Sangamo a final Development Report which describes, in at least the level of detail described in Exhibit F, the specified Development activities performed since the last report with respect to each Terminated Product.

vi.Novartis shall promptly provide Sangamo with a copy of each agreement between Novartis (or its Affiliates) and a Third Party directly relating to any Reversion Product or the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of any Reversion Product, and upon Sangamo’s request, Novartis shall assign or sublicense, and shall ensure that its Affiliates assign or sublicense, to Sangamo (A) any such agreement that solely relates to Reversion Products, to the extent permitted under the terms thereof, and (B) for any such agreement that does not solely relate to Reversion Products and to the extent permitted under the terms of such agreement, the portion of such agreement (e.g., a work order or statement of work) that relates solely to Reversion Products. Upon Sangamo’s request, Novartis shall provide reasonable assistance to Sangamo in connection with Sangamo obtaining rights under any such agreement that is not assignable to Sangamo (or equivalent rights), such as (x) subject to appropriate indemnification and to the extent permitted by the applicable agreement, working to effect a practical assignment of the rights and obligations under such agreement to Sangamo solely with respect to such Reversion Product as if Sangamo was a party to such agreement for a reasonable period of time or (y) introducing Sangamo to such Third Party.

vii.Novartis shall promptly deliver to Sangamo a list of the inventory then in its (or its Affiliates’) possession or control for each Reversion Product. At Sangamo’s request, Novartis shall deliver to Sangamo all or part of such inventory, and Sangamo shall reimburse Novartis for its cost of goods for such delivered inventory of Reversion Product, provided, that such inventory complies with specifications and has been manufactured in compliance with all applicable Law, including cGMP.

viii.If Novartis is, itself or through its Affiliate, manufacturing any Reversion Product at the time of the notice of termination, Novartis shall, upon Sangamo’s request, supply such Reversion Product to Sangamo at its [*] for both clinical and commercial supply for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed [*] months) until Sangamo establishes an alternative supplier, and reasonably assist Sangamo in establishing an alternative supplier for such Reversion Product.

ix.If any Novartis [*] Technology is (A) necessary or reasonably useful in order to [*] and (B) [*], in each case, such that [*], then, upon the written request of Sangamo, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for up to [*] a reasonable [*], which [*] may include (w)

Novartis [*], (x) to the extent not [*] the proprietary nature of the Novartis [*] Technology, Novartis [*] and Novartis [*], subject to reasonable terms and conditions [*], or (y) Novartis [*] on terms and conditions agreed upon by the Parties, including [*] and other reasonable terms and conditions in order to [*].

x.Upon the reasonable request of Sangamo, Novartis will provide reasonable consulting assistance and cooperation in connection with the transition of the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of any Reversion Products to the extent contemplated by this Section 12.3(d). Novartis will provide up to an aggregate of [*] hours of work relating to any assistance and cooperation contemplated by this Section 12.3(d)(viii) for all Reversion Products combined without additional compensation or reimbursement, above which Novartis shall be entitled to be reimbursed, as follows: Novartis may invoice Sangamo at the rate of [*] per hour for Novartis’ internal costs which relate to any such work that exceeds such [*]-hour cap, and the reasonable documented Out-of-Pocket Costs, in each case, incurred by Novartis to provide such requested assistance or cooperation and Sangamo shall pay all such undisputed invoices within [*] days of the date of its receipt of such invoice; provided, that the scope of Novartis’ assistance and cooperation and the related costs are discussed and agreed by the Parties prior to Novartis’ provision thereof.

xi.If, at the time of such termination, Novartis (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees) is conducting any Clinical Trials for any Reversion Product, then, at Novartis’ election on a trial-by-trial and site-by-site basis: (1) to the extent agreed by Sangamo, Novartis shall transfer the conduct of all such Clinical Trials at such sites to Sangamo and, in each such case, Sangamo shall assume any and all liability for such Clinical Trials at such sites after the effective date of such termination; or (2) with respect to any Clinical Trials which are not assumed by Sangamo under clause (1), Novartis (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees) shall, at their expense, continue to conduct, or wind down, such Clinical Trials, as determined by Novartis in its sole discretion.

8.Sell-Off Right. Effective upon any termination other than a termination by Novartis pursuant to Section 12.2(a) and subject to the payment of all amounts required under Section 9.2 and Section 9.3, Novartis will have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any inventory of any Terminated Product on hand at the time of such termination or in the process of Manufacturing for a period of [*] months following the effective date of termination; provided, however, that any revenue obtained from such disposal will be treated as Net Sales and the provisions of Article 9 will apply to such Net Sales and, in the event that such sales result in the achievement of a Milestone Event, the Milestone Payment due upon achievement of such Milestone Event will be payable.

9.Return of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, within [*] days after any termination of this Agreement, each Party shall destroy or return to the other Party (at the other Party’s discretion) all tangible items bearing, containing, or contained in, any of the Confidential Information of the other Party. If the material is destroyed, it shall provide the other Party written certification of such destruction. For clarity, Sangamo shall not be required to destroy or return to Novartis pursuant to this Section 12.3(f) any

Confidential Execution Version

Confidential Information of Novartis to which Sangamo has licenses or other rights pursuant to this Section 12.3.

b.Rights in Insolvency. The Parties agree that this Agreement constitutes an executory contract under Section 365 of the Code for the license of “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Code and constitutes a license of “intellectual property” for purposes of any similar laws in any other country in the Territory. The Parties further agree that Novartis, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its protections, rights and elections under the Code, including under Section 365(n) of the Code, and any similar laws in any other country in the Territory. The Parties further agree that, in the event of an Insolvency Event by or against Sangamo under the Code and any similar laws in any other country in the Territory, Novartis will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and the same, if not already in its possession, will be promptly delivered to it: (i) upon any such commencement of an Insolvency Event upon its written request therefor, unless Sangamo elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) if not delivered under sub-clause (i), following the rejection of this Agreement upon written request therefor by Novartis. All rights, powers and remedies of Novartis provided for in this Section 12.4 are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including under the Code and any similar laws in any other country in the Territory).

c.Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination. For clarity, termination of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to the Parties’ right to receive all payments (including, in the case of Sangamo, Milestone Payments and royalties) accrued prior to the effective date of termination. Without limiting the foregoing, the following provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement: [*].

d.Termination Not Sole Remedy. Termination is not the sole remedy under this Agreement and, whether or not termination is effected and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, all other remedies shall remain available except as agreed to otherwise herein.

2.With respect to each Upstream License, Sangamo shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to: (i) not take any action with respect to any Patent Rights and Know-How sublicensed to Novartis under such Upstream License that would permit the counterparty thereto to terminate such sublicense; (ii) not breach such Upstream License in a manner that would permit the counterparty thereto to terminate such Upstream License or otherwise diminish the scope or exclusivity of the sublicenses granted to Novartis under applicable Licensed Technology; and (iii) not terminate such Upstream License in a manner that would terminate rights that are sublicensed to Novartis or otherwise diminish the scope or exclusivity of the sublicenses granted to Novartis under the applicable Licensed Technology.

c.Indemnification Procedure.

3.Notice. If either Party is seeking indemnification under Section 14.1 or Section 14.2 (the “Indemnified Party”), it shall promptly inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim giving rise to the obligation to indemnify pursuant to such Section as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of the claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

4.Control. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Indemnified Party within [*] days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third Party claim, to assume the direction and control of the defense, litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of any such claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. During such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, and shall cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate upon request of the Indemnifying Party, in the defense or prosecution of the claim, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to defend any Third Party claim within [*] days after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense thereof with counsel of its choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not control, at

Confidential Execution Version

its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any claim that has been assumed by the other Party.

5.Settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall make any admission of liability in respect of any claim without the prior written consent of the other Party. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Section 14.1 or Section 14.2 as to any claim, pending resolution of such dispute, the Parties may conduct separate defenses of such claims, with each Party retaining the right to claim indemnification from the other Party in accordance with Section 14.1 or Section 14.2 upon resolution of the underlying claim.

d.Mitigation of Loss. Each Indemnified Party shall take and shall procure that its Affiliates take all such reasonable steps and action as are reasonably necessary or as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require in order to mitigate any claims (or potential losses or damages) under this Article 14. Nothing in this Agreement shall or shall be deemed to relieve any Party of any common law or other duty to mitigate any losses incurred by it.

e.Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 14.5 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 14.1 OR SECTION 14.2, (B) ANY DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR (I) A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS EXCLUSIVITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 2.5 OR ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN Article 11 OR (II) SANGAMO’S BREACH OF ITS EXCLUSIVITY OBLIGATIONS IN section 2.1(a), or (C) any DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD.

f.Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain, during the Term, commercial general liability insurance, including product liability insurance, with minimum “A-” Best rated insurance carriers to cover its indemnification obligations under Section 14.1 or Section 14.2, as applicable, in each case, with limits of not less than [*] per occurrence and in the aggregate. Each Party shall provide the other Party with evidence of such insurance upon written request and shall provide the other Party with written notice at least [*] days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material changes in such insurance. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability, including with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 14.

Article 15.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Confidential Execution Version

a.Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, potentially including embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, epidemics, pandemics, fire, floods, earthquakes or other acts of God, or acts, generally applicable action or inaction by any Governmental Authority (but excluding any government action or inaction that is specific to such Party, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, such as revocation or non-renewal of such Party’s license to conduct business), or omissions or delays in acting by the other Party. The affected Party shall notify the other Party in writing of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake and continue diligently all Commercially Reasonable Efforts necessary to mitigate or cure such force majeure circumstances or to perform its obligations in spite of the ongoing circumstances.

b.Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) either Party may, without consent of the other Party, assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate of such Party or to a successor in interest in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or business to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, acquisition or similar transaction and (b) subject to Sangamo’s compliance with applicable securities laws, Sangamo may, without Novartis’ consent, sell or transfer (in whole and not in part) its right to receive unpaid royalty payments hereunder to a single Third Party that is not a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company (provided, that such transfer shall not constitute an assignment of this Agreement or any portion hereof and any such transferee shall not have any rights (including the right to seek payment) under this Agreement, all of which shall be retained by Sangamo). Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any assignment or transfer under the provisions of this Section 15.2, other than an assignment or transfer to an Affiliate. An assignment shall not relieve the assignor of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment not in accordance with the foregoing shall be null and void and of no legal effect. Any permitted assignee shall assume all applicable assigned obligations of its assignor under this Agreement (or related to the assigned portion, in case of a partial assignment). The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respected successors and permitted assigns.

c.Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affects the substantive rights of the Parties. The Parties shall in such an instance use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) which, insofar as practical, implement the purposes of this Agreement.

To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree that if a Dispute arises under this Agreement, and the Parties are unable to resolve such Dispute within [*] days after such Dispute is first identified by either Party in writing to the other Party, the Parties shall refer such Dispute to the Executive Officers of the Parties for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within [*] days after such notice is received. If the Executive Officers are not able to resolve such Dispute within [*] days, then such Dispute (other than Excluded Claim as defined in Section 15.5f) below) shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”), and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

7.Number of Arbitrators; Arbitral Seat. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators experienced in the pharmaceutical business. Within [*] days after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one (1) person to act as arbitrator; provided, that if a Party fails to appoint an arbitrator within [*] days of the arbitration being initiated, such appointment shall be made by JAMS.

The place of arbitration shall be [*] and all proceedings and communications shall be in English.

8.Powers of the Arbitrators. The arbitrators shall have the discretion to hear and determine at any stage of the arbitration any issue asserted by any Party to be dispositive of any claim or counterclaim, in whole or part, in accordance with such procedure as the arbitrators may deem appropriate, and the arbitrators may render an award on such issue. In addition to the authority conferred on the arbitrators by the JAMS Rules, and without prejudice to any provisional measures that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, the arbitrators shall have the power to grant any provisional measures that the arbitrators deem appropriate, including provisional injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved and any provisional measures ordered by the arbitrators may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed to be a final award on the subject matter of the measures and shall be enforceable as such. Either Party also may, without waiving any

Confidential Execution Version

remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s compensatory damages. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrators’ fees and any administrative fees of arbitration, except to the extent that the arbitrators award such fees to the prevailing Party, if any.

6.Within [*] days after the Joint Patent Counsel’s selection, the Joint Patent Counsel shall select one (1) of the two (2) Proposed Patent Terms (without modification) provided by the Parties which most closely reflects: (a) a commercially reasonable interpretation of the terms of this Agreement, including of Section 10.1 and Section 10.2; (ii) in the event of any dispute pursuant to Section 3.6b)iii), the likelihood of success of a Party’s Proposed Patent Terms, including the likelihood that a Party’s prosecution and maintenance strategy will result in
