THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Solid Biosciences Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) and the Participant specified above, pursuant to
the Solid Biosciences Inc. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and 

WHEREAS, it has been determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to
grant the shares of Restricted Stock provided for herein to the Participant. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: 

1.    INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE; PLAN
DOCUMENT RECEIPT. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at
any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set
forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan
carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. 

2.    GRANT OF RESTRICTED
STOCK. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified above. Except as otherwise provided by
the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company
for any 







 
reason. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying this Award unless and until such shares are
delivered to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. 

3.    VESTING; DETRIMENTAL ACTIVITY;
FORFEITURE. 
 (a)    Vesting. The Restricted Stock subject to this grant
shall become unrestricted and vested in accordance with the vesting schedule above. All vesting of the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall occur only on the appropriate vesting date specified above, subject to the Participant’s continued
service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries through each applicable vesting date. There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods before each vesting date. 

(b)    Effect of Detrimental Activity. The provisions of Section 7.1 of the Plan regarding Detrimental
Activity shall apply to the Restricted Stock. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions herein and in the Plan regarding Detrimental Activity are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and its
Affiliates, and are considered by the Participant to be reasonable for such purposes. Without intending to limit the legal or equitable remedies available in the Plan and in this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that engaging in Detrimental
Activity will cause the Company and its Affiliates material irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such activity or
threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to the remedies provided under the Plan, to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Participant
from engaging in Detrimental Activity or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in the Plan and this Agreement without the necessity of posting a bond, and in the case of a temporary restraining order or a
preliminary injunction, without having to prove special damages. 
 (c)    Forfeiture. All unvested shares of
Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination for any reason. 

4.    DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS;
VOTING. Participants holding Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares, provided that any such dividends or
other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying shares of Restricted Stock and shall be paid at the time the Restricted Stock becomes vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof. If any dividends or distributions
are paid in shares, the shares shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. For the avoidance of doubt, in no
event shall dividends or other distributions payable hereunder be paid unless and until the shares of Restricted Stock to which they relate are no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture. The Participant may exercise full voting rights with respect
to the Restricted Stock granted hereunder. 

5.    
NON-TRANSFERABILITY. The Restricted Stock, and any rights and interests with respect thereto, issued under this Agreement
and the Plan shall not, prior to vesting, be sold, 

  
 2 








 
exchanged, Transferred, assigned, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant), other than by testamentary disposition by the Participant or
the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to sell, exchange, Transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate in any way any of the Restricted Stock, or the levy of any execution, attachment, or similar legal
process upon the Restricted Stock, contrary to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be null and void and without legal force or effect. 

6.    GOVERNING LAW. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws. 

7.    WITHHOLDING OF
TAX. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate, or make any other
arrangements as it considers appropriate to ensure that it has received an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local, and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) that
the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation with respect to the Restricted Stock and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may
otherwise refuse to issue or Transfer any shares of Common Stock otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement. 

8.    RECOUPMENT POLICY.
The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and provisions of any “clawback” or recoupment policy that may be adopted by the Company or its Affiliates from time to time or as may be
required by any applicable law (including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder). 

9.    SECTION 
83(B). If the Participant properly elects (as required by Section 83(b) of the Code) within 30 days after the issuance of the Restricted Stock to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes in the year
of issuance the fair market value of such shares of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay to the Company upon such election, any federal, state, or local taxes required to
be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock. If the Participant fails to make such payment, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal,
state, or local taxes of any kind that are required by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock, as well as the rights set forth in Section 8 hereof. THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES
AND AGREES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND
NOT THE COMPANY’S OR ANY AFFILIATE’S, TO FILE TIMELY AND
PROPERLY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE (AND UNDER
ANY CORRESPONDING PROVISION OF STATE LAW) IF THE PARTICIPANT ELECTS TO
MAKE SUCH AN ELECTION, EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY
OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE A FILING ON THE PARTICIPANT’S
BEHALF. 

10.    NOTICES. Any notice or
communication given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given: (i) when delivered in person; (ii) two days after being sent by United States mail; or (iii) on the first business day following the date

15.    SECTION 
409A. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, the shares of Restricted Stock are intended to be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed, and

executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute the same instrument. 

19.    SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality, or enforceability of any provision
