RE:      LogicBio Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”)

Ladies & Gentlemen:

The undersigned is an executive officer or director of the Company or owner of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Shares”) or of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares. The Company proposes to conduct a public offering of Shares (the “Offering”) for which Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), Barclays Capital Inc. and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. will act as the representatives of the underwriters. The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will benefit each of the Company and the undersigned. The undersigned acknowledges that the underwriters are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in conducting the Offering and, at a subsequent date, in entering into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) and other underwriting arrangements with the Company with respect to the Offering.

 

Annex A sets forth definitions for capitalized terms used in this letter agreement that are not defined in the body of this letter agreement. Those definitions are a part of this letter agreement.

 

In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, during the Lock-up Period, the undersigned will not (and will cause any Family Member not to), without the prior written consent of [Jefferies], which may withhold [its] consent in [its] sole discretion:

 

·Sell or Offer to Sell any Shares or Related Securities currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned or such Family Member,
   

 

·enter into any Swap,
·make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Shares or Related Securities, or cause to be filed a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) with respect to any such registration, or
·publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.

The foregoing will not apply to:

(a)  the registration of the offer and sale of the Shares, and the sale of the Shares to the underwriters, in each case as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement;

 

(b)  the transfer or disposition of Shares or Related Securities (i) by a bona fide gift or charitable contribution, (ii) by will or intestate succession, (iii) to a Family Member or to a trust whose beneficiaries consist exclusively of one or more of the undersigned and/or a Family Member, (iv) if the undersigned is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other business entity, (x) to another corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other business entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the undersigned and such transfer is not for value or (y) to limited partners, members, stockholders or other equityholders of the undersigned or (v) if the undersigned is a trust, transfers to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust,

 

provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to such transfer or disposition that:

 

·each donee, transferee or distributee executes and delivers to the Representatives an agreement stating that such donee, transferee or distributee is receiving and holding such Shares and/or Related Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement, and
·prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor, transferee, distributor or distributee) shall be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Shares in connection with such transfer or distribution;

(c)  the transfer or disposition of Shares or Related Securities by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement provided, however that any required filing under the Exchange Act must specify that such transfer or disposition occurred by operation of law or pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, as the case may be;

(d)  transactions relating to Shares or Related Securities acquired in the Offering or in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, provided that no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership shall be required, or made voluntarily, during the Lock-up Period in connection with any subsequent transfer or distribution;

   

 

(e)  the transfer or disposition of Shares or Related Securities upon the exercise of a stock option granted under a stock incentive plan or stock purchase plan described in the Company’s registration statement related to the Offering by the undersigned, and the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of Shares upon such exercise, insofar as such option is outstanding prior to the date of the Offering, provided that the underlying Shares shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this letter agreement and provided, further that, if required or made voluntarily, any public report or filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall include a footnote thereto that the filing relates to the exercise of a stock option, that no shares were sold by the reporting person and that the shares received upon exercise of the stock option are subject to a lock-up agreement with the Underwriters of the Offering;

(f)   the transfer of Shares or Related Securities upon a vesting event of the Company’s securities on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise, provided that such securities were granted pursuant to a stock incentive plan, stock purchase plan or a contractual employment arrangement described in the Company’s registration statement related to the Offering and, provided further, that no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act reporting a disposition of Shares shall be required, or made voluntarily, in connection with such vesting or exercise during the Lock-up Period, other than a public report or filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act that includes a footnote thereto that any such disposition of shares was made solely to satisfy the undersigned’s tax withholding obligations;

(g)  the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Shares, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Shares during the Lock-up Period and (ii) no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the entry into such plan shall be required, or made voluntarily, during the Lock-up Period;

(h)  the transfer of Shares or Related Securities to the Company pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase shares or shares are forfeited upon termination of service of the undersigned; or

(i)  the transfer of Shares or Related Securities pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction involving a Change of Control of the Company (including, without limitation, entering into any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the undersigned may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of Shares or such other securities in connection with any such transaction, or vote any securities in favor of any such transaction), provided that if the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Shares owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this letter agreement.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Shares or Related Securities held by the undersigned and the undersigned’s Family Members, if any, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

 

With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Shares and/or any Related Securities owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.

   

 

The undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any Family Member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale of the Shares. The undersigned will not, and will cause any Family Member not to take, directly or indirectly, any such action.

 

Whether or not the Offering occurs as currently contemplated or at all depends on market conditions and other factors. The Offering will only be made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the underwriters.

 

This letter agreement (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Period described herein) and related restrictions shall automatically terminate and become null and void upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) the Company, on the one hand, or Jefferies, on the other hand, notifying the other in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Company files an application to withdraw the registration statement related to the Offering, (iii) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed on or before October 31, 2020, or (iv) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) terminates or is terminated prior to the First Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement).

 

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Underwriters solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering of the Shares and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate.

 

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This letter agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.

 

This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
