Dear Wael:


 


Through this offer letter (the “Letter
Agreement”), Enumeral Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (with its subsidiaries, “Enumeral” or the “Company”)
is pleased to offer you the position of Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer commencing on or about September 21, 2016
(the “Effective Date”). As President and Chief Executive Officer, you will report to and be subject to the supervision
of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Company is employing you on a full time basis and you shall
devote your full time diligent professional efforts to the performance of your duties as Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. In your capacity as the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, you will engage
in activities related to Enumeral’s business objectives, as has been discussed with you by the members of the Board. The
preceding will not be deemed to prevent you from serving on the boards of other entities that do not compete with the Company’s
business and that do not entail material time commitments. You will adhere to the business policies of the Company in the performance
of your duties, including without limitation as set forth in the Company’s Employee Handbook and as the Company may otherwise
or additionally establish.


 


You will receive a base salary at the rate
of $325,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”), payable in semi-monthly installments and subject to applicable deductions
and withholdings. At the discretion of the independent members of the Board or the Compensation Committee thereof (the “Committee”),
you will also be eligible to earn a target bonus of up to 50% of your Base Salary, payable in cash, within 75 days following the
end of each fiscal year during the term of employment, based on achievement of corporate objectives, achievement of your objectives
and Company’s finances (and ability to pay any such bonus), all as determined by the Committee or the independent members
of the Board and as set forth in writing (and calculated on a pro rata basis for any period of less than a full calendar
year that you are employed by the Company).

You will work at the Company’s Cambridge,
Massachusetts facility, but you will not be required to permanently relocate at this time. The Company will reimburse you for appropriate
travel and hotel/temporary housing expenses in connection with your work in the Company’s Cambridge, Massachusetts facility.
In the event that you and the Board subsequently determine that it is in the best interest of the Company for you to relocate to
Massachusetts, the Company will negotiate a relocation package with you.


 


Subject to the approval of the independent
members of the Board or the Committee, the Company shall issue to you stock options to purchase 2,600,000 shares of the common
stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), with a grant date price per share equal to the fair market value of one
share of Common Stock as of the date of grant (i.e., the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on the date of grant as
reported on the OTC Markets, or, if there is no such sale on that date, then on the last previous day on which there was such a
sale) (the “Options”). 850,000 of the Options shall be issued under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan,
as amended (the “2014 Plan”), and 1,750,000 shall be issued subject to the terms and conditions provided in Exhibit
A. The Options issued under the 2014 Plan shall be treated as incentive stock options to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law.


 


Subject to approval of the Board or the
Committee, the Options will vest as follows:


 


(a) 100,000 of the Options issued to you
under the 2014 Plan shall vest and become exercisable in full upon grant;


 


(b) 750,000 of the Options issued to you
under the 2014 Plan shall vest and become exercisable upon the Company entering into a collaboration and/or licensing agreement
with a corporate partner on terms acceptable to the Board that provides the Company will receive at least $* in upfront fees upon
signing;


 


(c) 750,000 of the remaining Options shall
vest and become exercisable upon the Company entering into a second (i.e., in addition to the agreement referenced in (b) above)
collaboration and/or licensing agreement with a corporate partner on terms acceptable to the Board that provides the Company will
receive at least $* in upfront fees upon signing; provided that, in the event that the Company enters into collaboration and/or
licensing agreement(s) with one or more corporate partners on terms acceptable to the Board that collectively provide the Company
will receive at least an aggregate of $* in upfront fees upon signing, all of the Options listed in (b) and (c) of this paragraph
shall vest and become exercisable; and


 




    200 CambridgePark Drive  ·  Suite 2000  ·  Cambridge, MA 02140  ·  O: 617.945.9146


    


    

  


(d) the remaining 1,000,000 Options shall
vest and become exercisable upon the closing of one or more equity financing transactions on terms acceptable to the Board with
aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $* (which may include proceeds from the exercise of some or all of the warrants
issued in connection with the Company’s July 2014 private placement offering); provided that, in the event the Company raises
at least $* in one or more transactions (including proceeds from the exercise of some or all of the warrants issued in connection
with the Company’s July 2014 private placement offering), with at least $* of the $* raised through non-dilutive collaboration
and/or licensing agreements, all of the Options listed in (b), (c) and (d) above shall vest and become exercisable. For the avoidance
of doubt, in all cases the Options shall vest only in the event that you remain employed by the Company in good standing at the
time of any such event that triggers the vesting of Options set forth above.


 


Upon the achievement of the milestones
listed in both (b) and (c) in the paragraph above, or, if earlier, upon the achievement of the milestone listed in (d) in the paragraph
above, the Company will negotiate a new employment agreement with you.


 


For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if while
you are employed as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company achieves the milestones listed in both (b) and
(c) in the paragraph above, or, if earlier, upon the achievement of the milestone listed in (d) in the paragraph above, and (ii)
following such funding achievement your employment with the Company is subsequently involuntarily terminated without Cause (as
defined below), then the Company will pay you your Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of the notice
of termination (the “Severance Benefits”); provided, that you continue to comply with and not breach the terms of this
Agreement (including the Obligations Agreement) and that you enter into, comply with, and do not breach the terms of a termination
and release agreement in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release Agreement”); and provided further that in the
event of noncompliance or breach of this Agreement, the Obligations Agreement or the Release Agreement, all severance payments
shall immediately be terminated.


 


For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause”
shall be determined by the Board of the Company acting in good faith and shall mean any of the following:


 


		(i)	your conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction of any felony involving dishonesty, breach
of trust or misappropriation or your entering of a plea of nolo contendre thereto;

    200 CambridgePark Drive  ·  Suite 2000  ·  Cambridge, MA 02140  ·  O: 617.945.9146


    


    

  


		(iii)	your conviction for willful violation of any law, rule or regulation governing the operation of

		(iv)	your substantial and continuing failure or refusal, after seven (7) days’ written notice
thereof, to perform your job duties and responsibilities which failure or refusal is committed in bad faith (other than failure
or refusal resulting from incapacity due to physical disability or mental illness);



 


		(v)	your breach of this Agreement (including the Obligations Agreement attached hereto), which breach
continues for more than seven (7) days after written notice has been given to you, such notice setting forth in reasonable detail
the nature of such breach; or



 


		(vi)	your deliberate and willful disregard of the written rules or policies of the Company, which result
in a material and substantial loss, damage or injury to the Company.



 


In the event a Change of Control (as defined
below) occurs within the first six (6) months following the Effective Date, and your employment with the Company is terminated
in connection with such Change of Control (and provided that you are not at that time entitled to the Severance Benefits set forth
above), then the Company will pay you your Base Salary for a period of six (6) months following the date of the notice of termination;
provided, that you continue to comply with and not breach the terms of this Agreement (including the Obligations Agreement) and
that you enter into, comply with, and do not breach the terms of the Release Agreement; and provided further that in the event
of noncompliance or breach of this Agreement, the Obligations Agreement or the Release Agreement, all severance payments shall
immediately be terminated.


 


For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change
of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following conditions have occurred:


 


		(i)	the merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity, where,
immediately after the merger or consolidation:



 


		a.	the Company's stockholders immediately prior to the merger or consolidation beneficially own (as
such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)), directly or
indirectly, less than fifty percent (50%) of the of the voting shares of the surviving entity in the consolidation or merger (or
of its ultimate parent corporation, if any); or

		b.	persons who constitute the Board prior to the merger or consolidation cease to constitute at least
a majority of the board of directors of the surviving entity in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation,
if any); or



 


		(ii)	the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.



 


In the event that the Company completes
a financing transaction that includes the exercise of some or all of the warrants issued in connection with the Company’s
July 2014 private placement offering, the independent members of the Board or the Committee will evaluate your beneficial ownership
position in the Company and consider additional equity grants, as may be appropriate in the sole discretion of the Board or the
Committee.


 


You will be entitled to 15 days (i.e.,
three weeks) of paid time off per year to be used for vacation time, and 5 days paid sick days and personal days (subject to change
in accordance with the Company’s vacation and sick time policies). A maximum of five paid vacation days can be carried over

Exhibit A


 


Form of Non-Qualified Stock Option
Agreement 


 


[Name]


[Address]


 


The [Compensation Committee of the] Board
of Directors has approved a grant (the “Grant”) of a Non-Qualified Stock Option (the "Option") to you to
purchase Common Stock of Enumeral Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"). The Option shall constitute and be treated
at all times by you and the Company as a “non-qualified stock option” for Federal income tax purposes and shall not
constitute and shall not be treated as an “incentive stock option” as defined under Section 422(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


 


You are granted an Option to purchase [—-]
shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the price of $[—] per
share which represents the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”_))
of the Common Stock on the date of grant. This Grant is made as a matter of separate inducement and not in lieu of any salary or
other compensation for your services. The date of grant of this Option is September [—], 2016.


 


Vesting. This Option may be exercised
only to the extent it is vested. Subject to you remaining employed by the Company or in the service of the Company on its Board
of Directors on the applicable vesting dates below, this Option shall vest as follows:


 


		·	[————].



 


Duration of Option.
Except as otherwise provided herein, this option may be exercised for three (3) months after you cease serving as an employee of
the Company or a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, provided, however in the event your termination of service is
due to your death or disability, the Option may be exercised for one year following such event. In no case, however, may the Option
be exercised after September [—], 2026.


 


Exercise of Option.


 


Right to Exercise. This
Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in Section 1.


 


Method of Exercise. This
Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), which
shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Option is being exercised
(the "Exercised Shares"), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise
Notice shall be completed by you and delivered to the Corporate Secretary. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment
of the aggregate exercise price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company
of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate exercise price.


 




    200 CambridgePark Drive  ·  Suite 2000  ·  Cambridge, MA 02140  ·  O: 617.945.9146


    


    

  


No shares of Common Stock shall be issued
pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise comply with applicable laws. Assuming such compliance,
for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to you on the date the Option is exercised with respect
to such Exercised Shares.


 


Method of Payment. Payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at your election:


 


		·	cash;



 


		·	check;



 


		·	consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company;
or



 


		·	surrender of other shares of Common Stock which (i) in the case of shares of Common Stock acquired
upon exercise of an option, have been owned by you for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a fair
market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.



 


Non-Assignability of Option. This
Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised
during your lifetime only by you except in the case of your disability, this Option may be exercised by your representative. The
terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon your executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns.


 


Incorporation of Provisions of the Plan.
You acknowledge and agree that while this Grant is not made pursuant to the Plan, it is the intention of the Company for you to
have all of the benefits and advantages of the Plan. Accordingly, the terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated by reference
into this Grant as if they had been stated herein with such the necessary modifications to the terms and conditions of the Plan
that are being incorporated by reference to avoid inconsistencies between the Grant and the Plan; it being understood that in the
event or a direct conflict or contradiction between a term or condition of the Grant and the Plan, the term or condition of the
Grant shall control.

Covenants. You hereby covenant and
agree with the Company that if, at the time of exercise of the Option, there does not exist a Registration Statement on an appropriate
form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), which Registration Statement shall have become effective
and shall include a prospectus which is current with respect to the shares subject to the Option, you shall make the representations
(i) that you are purchasing the shares for your own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, (ii) that
any subsequent offer for sale or sale of any such shares shall be made either pursuant to (x) a Registration Statement on an appropriate

and sold, or (y) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Act, but in claiming such exemption, you shall,
prior to any offer for sale or sale of such shares, obtain a favorable written opinion from counsel for or approved by the Company
as to the applicability of such exemption and (iii) that you agree that the certificates evidencing such shares shall bear a legend
to the effect of the foregoing.


 


This Agreement and the provisions of the
Plan, as incorporated by reference in the Agreement, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and you with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to your interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and
you. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.


 


This Agreement is not a contract of employment
and the terms of your employment shall not be affected hereby or by any agreement referred to herein except to the extent specifically
so provided herein or therein. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose any obligation on the Company to continue your employment,
and it shall not impose any obligation on your part to remain in the employ of the Company thereof.


 


By your acceptance hereof, you agree to
reimburse the Company for any taxes required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid by the Company in
respect of the Grant. In lieu thereof, the Company shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums
due or to become due from the Company to you.

In consideration of my employment by or

2.          Confidential Information.


 


(a)        I acknowledge that, except to the extent otherwise
provided below in this Section 2(a) or in Section 2(b) hereof, all Confidential Information disclosed to or acquired by me is a
valuable, special, and unique asset of the Company and I will hold such Confidential Information in trust for the Company’s
sole benefit. Except as otherwise provided below in this Section 2, I shall not, at any time (including, without limitation, after
the Term), use for myself or others, or disclose or communicate to any person for any reason, any Confidential Information without
the prior written consent of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(a) to the contrary, it is understood that,
except to the extent otherwise expressly prohibited by the Company, (A) I may disclose or use Confidential Information in performing
my duties and responsibilities to the Company but only to the extent required or necessary for the performance of such duties and
responsibilities in the ordinary course and within the scope of my association with the Company as an employee, consultant, officer
or manager, and (B) I may disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order of any court or governmental agency,
provided, however, that I promptly notify the Company of any such request or order and provide reasonable cooperation (at
the Company’s expense) in the efforts, if any, of the Company to contest or limit the scope of such request or order. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein will prevent the Executive from having any conversations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,

(b)        My obligations under Section 2(a) hereof as to Confidential
Information shall not apply to any Confidential Information which (i) is or becomes publicly known (as demonstrated by written
evidence provided by me) under circumstances involving no breach by me of this Agreement or (ii) was or is approved in writing
for release by the Board of Managers of the Company.


 


3.          Absence of Conflicting Agreements; No Improper
Disclosure or Use of Materials. I understand that the Company does not desire to acquire from me any trade secrets, know-how
or confidential business information that I may have acquired from others, and I agree that I shall not disclose or use such information
in connection with my employment or other engagement by the Company in violation of my obligations to others. I represent that
I am not bound by any agreement or any other existing or previous business relationship which conflicts with or prevents the full
performance of my duties and obligations to the Company during the course of my employment or other engagement by the Company.


 


4.          Inventions; Assignment.


 


(a)         I hereby acknowledge and agree that those Assigned
Inventions and Proprietary Rights that are original works of authorship protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,”
as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (the “Work Product”).


 




    200 CambridgePark Drive  ·  Suite 2000  ·  Cambridge, MA 02140  ·  O: 617.945.9146


    


    

  


(b)       If any component of the Assigned Inventions or Proprietary
Rights either does not qualify as a “work made for hire” under U.S. copyright law, or is subject to protection under
patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property law, I hereby irrevocably and exclusively assign to the Company
all of my right, title and interest in and to any and all such Assigned Inventions and Proprietary Rights. I agree to give the

Rights. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims of any nature whatsoever that I may now or hereafter have
for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.


 


(c)       At the request of the Company, I will assist the
Company in every proper way (including, without limitation, by executing patent applications) to obtain and enforce in any country

IT WILL BE DEEMED THAT THERE ARE NO SUCH EXCLUSIONS._________.

6.          Covenant Not to Compete. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 7 below, the Company agrees to permit the Executive to accept employment with a Competing Organization after
termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, provided that the Executive's duties with that Competing Organization
during the one (1) year period after termination of the Executive's employment with the Company (the “Post Employment
Non Compete Period”), either directly or indirectly, do not relate to any Competing Product or Service. The provisions
of this Section 6, and the provisions of Section 7(a) and 7(b) below, shall not apply if the Executive’s employment is terminated
without cause (unless the Executive receives severance benefits in connection with such termination, in which case the release
agreement shall contain comparable non-compete and non-solicitation provisions for the period covered by the severance benefits).


 


7.          Stipulations. As a material
inducement to the Company's willingness to employ the Executive, and in order to protect the Company's Confidential Information
and good will, the Executive agrees to the following stipulations:


 


(a)        During the Term and the
Post Employment Non-Compete Period with the Company, the Executive will not interfere with the customers or accounts of the Company
in such a manner as to solicit or divert business from the Company;


 


(b)        During the Term and the
Post Employment Non-Compete Period after the Executive's termination of employment with the Company, the Executive will not render
services, directly or indirectly, as an employee, consultant, director, advisor or otherwise, to any Competing Organization with
respect to a Competing Product or Service; and


 


(c)        During the Term and the
Post Employment Non-Compete Period, the Executive will not solicit any of the Company's employees or consultants to leave the employ
of the Company.


 


8.          No Obligation of Employment. I understand my
obligations under this Agreement are independent of any employment or consulting relationship between me and the Company and do
not create or give rise to any obligation on the part of the Company to maintain me in its employ. I acknowledge and agree that
my employment or other engagement by the Company is on an “at-will” basis, and that, no other arrangement with the
Company shall be construed to impose any minimum or fixed term of employment or engagement.

9.          Unique Nature of Agreement; Specific Enforcement.
I agree and acknowledge that the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement are of a unique and special nature and that
the Company is, therefore, without an adequate legal remedy in the event of my violation of any of the covenants set forth in this
Agreement. I agree, therefore, that, in addition to all other rights and remedies, at law or in equity or otherwise, that may be
available to the Company, each of the covenants made by me under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants made
by me pursuant to Sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof) shall be enforceable by injunction, specific performance or other equitable
relief, without any requirement that the Company have to post a bond or that the Company have to prove any damages. I hereby agree,
in connection with any action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, to waive any claim or defense that the
Company has an adequate remedy at law. I recognize and agree that the enforcement of this Agreement is necessary to ensure the
preservation, protection and continuity of the confidential business information, trade secrets and goodwill of the Company.


 


10.        Independent Counsel. I have been provided with

or by any other manner provided by law.

to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or of any right to damages. No waiver by the Company or me of any breach of this
Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a continuation of the same breach. All remedies provided

If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared void or unenforceable by any judicial or administrative authority, the validity
of any other provisions and of the entire Agreement shall not be affected thereby. If one or more of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity or subject matter so as to be unenforceable
at law, such provision(s) shall be construed and reformed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting and reducing it (or them),
so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.

be binding upon and inure to the benefit of me, the Company and our respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement
may be assigned by the Company to any affiliate of the Company and to any successor or assign of all or a substantial portion of
