 NOVATION AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement between THE BOARD
OF TRUSTEES OF THE LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY (“Stanford”), an institution of higher education having powers under the laws of the State of California, and bluebird bio, Inc., a corporation having a principal place of business at

	 	1	BACKGROUND 

 Stanford has
rights to biological material known as 293T Cell Line. It was developed in the laboratory of Dr. Michele Calos, and is described in Stanford Docket S97-079. The biological material was developed in the course of research supported by the
National Institutes of Health. Stanford wants to have the biological material developed and marketed as soon as possible so that resulting products may be available for public use and benefit. 

Stanford and BBB (formerly Genetix Pharmaceuticals Inc.) are parties to a previous agreement concerning the Biological Material dated
July 11, 2002, hereafter “Prior Agreement”. Stanford and BBB wish to amend and restate said Prior Agreement by this Novation Agreement (“Agreement”), beginning as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

means the direct or indirect ownership of greater than a fifty percent (50%) interest in the income of such entity. 

  

	 	2.2	“Biological Material” means the 293T cell line previously provided to BBB under the Prior Agreement.

Licensed Products; provided however, the royalty owed to Stanford under this Section 6.3 shall not be less than [***] on this basis. 
  

	 	6.4	Creditable Payments. The license maintenance fee for a year may be offset against earned royalty payments due on Net Sales occurring in that year.

only need to pay Stanford an additional $5 for that year’s earned royalties due on Net Sales. 

  

	 	(B)	if BBB pays Stanford a $10 maintenance payment for year Y, and according to Section 6.3 $3 in earned royalties are due Stanford for Net Sales in year Y, BBB will
