July 20, 2018

On April 11, 2016, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) and Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (“Intellia”) entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”). Under the Collaboration Agreement, the Parties agreed to collaborate to research and develop improvements to CRISPR-Cas technology and to engage in a research and development program in which they will research and develop CRISPR Products Directed to certain Targets. In addition, each Party granted to the other Party certain options to enter into a worldwide cost and profit share arrangement for the development and commercialization of certain CRISPR Products and to enter into a Co-Co Agreement related thereto. Pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Collaboration Agreement, the Parties agreed to negotiate the terms of a Form of Co-Co Agreement. Having agreed to the Form of Co-Co Agreement, the Parties desire to enter into this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”), as of July 20, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) regarding the Form of Co-Co Agreement. Except as explicitly stated in this Letter Agreement (excluding Exhibit A), capitalized terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to them in the Collaboration Agreement.

The Parties hereby agree that the Form of Co-Development and Co-Promotion Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A will be the Form of Co-Co Agreement for all purposes contemplated by the Collaboration Agreement. Promptly after the Regeneron Option Exercise Notice or Intellia Option Exercise Notice, as applicable, is delivered to the other Party in accordance with Section 5.1(e)(i) or Section 5.2(c)(i) of the Collaboration Agreement, respectively, the Parties will execute a Co-Development and Co-Promotion Agreement covering the applicable Regeneron Target or Intellia Liver Target [***].

The Parties agree that, subject to the exceptions in Section 13.2 of the Collaboration Agreement, this Letter Agreement (including Exhibit A) is Confidential Information of both Parties under the Collaboration Agreement. The Parties do not intend to issue a press release announcing the execution of this Letter Agreement. Section 13.5(a) of the Collaboration Agreement, excluding the first sentence, and Sections 13.5(b) and 13.5(c) of the Collaboration Agreement, each applied mutatis mutandis, are hereby incorporated by reference into this Letter Agreement.

Each Party acknowledges that the other Party, as a publicly traded company, is legally obligated to make timely disclosures of all material events relating to its business. Therefore, the

Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties may be obligated to file a copy of this Letter Agreement (including, for clarity, the Form of Co-Development and Co-Promotion Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or its equivalent (the “SEC”). The Parties agree that the form of the redacted version of this Letter Agreement (the “Redacted Letter Agreement”), which shall be mutually agreed by the Parties in good faith within [***], may be used as its filing (or submission) of this Letter Agreement to the SEC, and the Parties shall cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of confidential information (including any information that constitutes a trade secret or a sensitive commercial term), including with respect to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the proposed redactions. The Parties further agree that, following the initial filing (or submission) of the Redacted Letter Agreement, the filing Party will (i) promptly deliver to the non-filing Party any written correspondence received by the filing Party or its representatives from the SEC with respect to such confidential treatment request and promptly advise the non-filing Party of any other communications between the filing Party or its representatives with the SEC with respect to such confidential treatment request, allowing a reasonable time for the non-filing Party to review and comment; (ii) upon the written request of the non-filing Party, request an appropriate extension of the term of the confidential treatment period; and (iii) if the SEC requests any changes to the redactions set forth in the Redacted Letter Agreement, to the extent reasonably practicable, not agree to any changes to the Redacted Letter Agreement without first discussing such changes with the non-filing Party and taking the non-filing Party’s comments into consideration when deciding whether to agree to such changes. In addition, each Party will provide the other Party with an advance copy of any securities filings in which the Letter Agreement is discussed or disclosed, in each case only to the extent describing this Letter Agreement or referencing the other Party, allowing a reasonable time for the other Party to review and comment, and will reasonably consider and, to the extent permitted by a Governmental Authority, or Applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or trading market on which a Party’s (or its parent entity’s) securities are or will be traded), incorporate the other Party’s timely comments thereon [***].

The Parties agree that the provisions of Article 17 of the Collaboration Agreement, applied mutatis mutandis, are hereby incorporated by reference into this Letter Agreement.

General Provisions:

[***]

At the end of each applicable [***], with respect to any Co-Funding Product, the Lead Party will calculate the [***] Development True-Up and/or [***] Profit True-Up (each, as defined below) for such Co-Funding Product pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.4 which are the net payment(s) that each Party shall be required to make to the other Party as described in this Schedule 9.2.

The “Aggregate [***] True-Up” is the sum of (i) the [***] Development True-Up for Co-Funding Product A, (ii) the [***] True-Up for Co-Funding Product B, (iii) the [***] True-Up for Co-Funding Product A, and (iv) the [***] Profit True-Up for Co-Funding Product B. For the purposes of this example, the Aggregate [***] True-Up assumed that there were two Co-Funding Products Directed to a Co-Funding Target. For Clarity, the Aggregate [***] True-Up will include a Quarterly Development True-Up and a Quarterly Profit True-Up for each Co-Funding Product. In the event that under and in accordance with the terms of a supply agreement between the Parties, a Participating Party has incurred Commercial Supply Costs for a Co-Funding Product, the Participating Party will be reimbursed for such costs outside of this Quarterly True-Up and in accordance with the terms of a supply agreement between the Parties for such Co-Funding Product.

In the event that the Aggregate [***] True-Up is an amount greater than zero, such amount shall be payable by the Participating Party to the Lead Party. If the amount of the Aggregate [***] True-up is less than zero, then the absolute value of such amount will be payable by the Lead Party to Participating Party. Any payment due to a Party shall be made in accordance with the terms set forth in Article 9.

Definitions:

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Total Development Costs” means the aggregate of Development Costs incurred by both Regeneron and Intellia for a Co-Funding Product.
