THIS AGREEMENT OF SUBLEASE (“Sublease”) made as of the 26th day of October, 2021, by and between ADVERUM NC, LLC (“Sublandlord”) and JAGUAR GENE THERAPY, LLC (“Subtenant”).

WITNESSETH:

    WHEREAS, Sublandlord has leased the Premises (as hereinafter defined) from ARE-NC REGION NO. 21, LLC (the “Landlord”) pursuant to a certain Lease Agreement dated January 8, 2021, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated April 15, 2021 (as amended, the “Prime Lease”), which is incorporated herein by reference and which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Sublandlord is referred to as the “Tenant” in the Prime Lease; and

    WHEREAS, the premises subleased hereby contain approximately 173,820 rentable square feet and constitute the entirety of that certain building located at 14 TW Alexander Drive, Durham, North Carolina, and known as the “Building.” The space subleased hereby is the same space leased to the Sublandlord under the Prime Lease and is hereinafter referred to as the “Premises.” The parties desire by this Sublease to establish the terms and conditions upon which Subtenant will sublet the Premises from Sublandlord; and

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.Except for Sections 4(b), 39, 40, 42(u) of, and Exhibit J to the Prime Lease (provided that such exclusions shall not prohibit Subtenant from exercising such rights that Landlord granted to Subtenant pursuant to Landlord’s consent to this Sublease as set forth in the Consent to Sublease and Second Amendment to Lease dated October 26, 2021 (the “Sublease Consent”) obtained pursuant to Section 12 hereof), or as otherwise herein provided, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in the Prime Lease are made a part of this Sublease, Sublandlord being substituted for “Landlord” and Subtenant for “Tenant,” it being understood that such rights and obligations of Tenant as are contained in the same, and as the same relate to the Premises, during the term of this subletting, are hereby granted to or imposed on Subtenant in the same manner as if Subtenant had been Tenant in same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Sublease shall not release Sublandlord from any existing or future duty, obligation or liability to Landlord under the Prime Lease, nor shall this Sublease change, modify, or amend the Prime Lease in any manner, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Prime Lease and this Sublease as between Landlord and Sublandlord, the express terms of the Prime Lease shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Prime Lease and this Sublease as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the terms of this Sublease shall govern and control. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Sublease Consent and this Sublease as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the terms of the Sublease Consent shall govern and control. Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant shall be entitled to receive all services Sublandlord is entitled to receive from Landlord pursuant to the Prime Lease, and Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be responsible for providing the same. Subtenant expressly acknowledges that Sublandlord is not responsible for complying with any terms of the Prime Lease which, by their nature, are the sole obligations of the Landlord
1


thereunder. Sublandlord agrees that any request received by Landlord from Subtenant for additional or modified services or Landlord’s approval with respect to any matter for which Landlord’s approval is required under the Prime Lease, including without limitation, Exhibit C (Work Letter) to the Prime Lease as such Exhibit C is amended and restated by Exhibit B to the Sublease Consent (the “Revised Work Letter”), shall be deemed a request made by and from Sublandlord and shall be deemed approved by Sublandlord when delivered to Landlord, provided the notice requesting such consent is made pursuant to the terms of the Sublease Consent.

Subject to the terms of this Sublease and the Sublease Consent, Sublandlord acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant’s representative shall act pursuant to the terms of the Sublease Consent and as Sublandlord’s representative under the Revised Work Letter and shall have the limited right to act as Sublandlord to comply with Sublandlord’s obligations as “Tenant” as expressly stated under the Revised Work Letter and to receive the benefit of Sublandlord’s rights as “Tenant” under the Revised Work Letter and the Prime Lease as provided for in the Sublease Consent and herein. Upon receiving Subtenant’s written request, Sublandlord shall notify Landlord of Subtenant’s change in its representative to act as Sublandlord’s representative under the Revised Work Letter. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts and take such further actions and assurances to enable Subtenant to receive all the rights and benefits of “Tenant” under the Revised Work Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant is not being appointed as an agent for or given the authority to act as an agent of Sublandlord. Subtenant’s rights and authority to act as a representative of Sublandlord are strictly limited to those set forth in this Sublease, the Sublease Consent and the Revised Work Letter and Subtenant is not granted any express or implied authority to act on behalf of Sublandlord except as expressly set forth therein. Subtenant does not have the authority to and cannot bind Sublandlord to modifications or waivers to the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease, Sublease Consent or Revised Work Letter. Subtenant must exercise its limited authority and act in such role and capacity in a prudent and reasonable manner. In the event that Subtenant is unclear as to the scope and extent of its authority to take certain action as Sublandlord’s representative, Subtenant shall promptly request written clarification from Sublandlord prior to taking any such action.

Subtenant acknowledges that there is no privity of contract as between Landlord and Subtenant which would entitle Subtenant to directly enforce the Landlord’s obligations under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord covenants and agrees, upon written request of Subtenant, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Landlord to observe and perform such obligations, provided that if Landlord’s failure to observe or perform such obligations materially impairs Subtenant’s ability to use or operate in the Premises, at Subtenant’s reasonable request and pursuant to its reasonable direction, Sublandlord shall bring legal or other form of dispute resolution to enforce any remedies that Sublandlord has at law or in equity. Provided that the cause of Landlord’s default is not Sublandlord’s default hereunder, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for its costs related to such enforcement and Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against, any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of actions, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs to the extent arising or resulting from Sublandlord pursuing such legal or other dispute resolution action.

Except as set forth in Section 23 herein, below, Subtenant shall not be responsible for any rent payable to Landlord by Sublandlord for the period of time prior to the Sublease Commencement Date. In the event that the Sublease commences on a day other than the first (1st) day of the month or expires or terminates on a day other than the last day of such month, the Rent payable during such month shall be prorated with Subtenant only responsible for the portion of such month falling within the Term. All payments requiring proration shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the pertinent calendar month or year, as applicable.

All charges, costs and sums required to be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder in addition to Base Rent shall be deemed additional rent (“Additional Rent”), and Base Rent and Additional Rent shall hereinafter be collectively called “Rent.” Any portion of such Additional Rent which is payable under the terms of the Prime Lease to Landlord shall by paid by Subtenant directly to Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Sublease Consent. In the event that any Rent is payable to Sublandlord hereunder, such Rent shall be paid to or upon the order of Sublandlord (or directly to Landlord, if so directed by Sublandlord) at the following address: 100 Cardinal Way, Redwood City, CA 94063 Attn: Chief Financial Officer. Sublandlord shall have the right to change the Sublandlord’s address by giving advance written notice thereof to Subtenant.
