 6. Incorporation of Primary Lease by Reference. 

(a) The terms, covenants and conditions of the Primary Lease are incorporated herein by reference, except to the extent
they are expressly deleted or modified by the provisions of this Sublease. Every term, covenant and condition of the Primary Lease binding upon or inuring to the benefit of Prime Landlord shall, in respect of this Sublease, be binding upon or inure
to the benefit of Sublandlord and every term, covenant and condition of the Primary Lease binding upon or inuring to the benefit of Sublandlord shall, in respect of this Sublease, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Subtenant. Whenever the
term “Lessor” appears in the Primary Lease, the word “Sublandlord” shall be substituted therefore; whenever the term “Lessee” appears in the Primary Lease, the word “Subtenant”
shall be substituted therefore; whenever the word “Premises” appears in the Primary Lease, the word “Subleased Premises” shall be substituted therefore.

(5) days, those time limits are modified herein by shortening the same by fifty percent (50%). 
 7. Subordination to Primary Lease. This
Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Primary Lease. A redacted copy of the Primary Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part of this Sublease.  

8. Representations of Sublandlord. Sublandlord represents and warrants the following is true and correct as of the date hereof: 

(a) Sublandlord is the tenant under the Primary Lease and has the capacity to enter into this Sublease with Subtenant.

 (b) The Primary Lease attached hereto as Exhibit C is a true, correct and complete copy of the Primary Lease,
is in full force and effect, and has not been further modified, amended or supplemented except as expressly set forth herein. 

(c) Sublandlord has not received any notice, and has no actual knowledge, of any default by Sublandlord under the Primary
Lease. To Sublandlord’s actual knowledge, Primary Landlord is not in default under the Primary Lease. 

9. AS-IS Condition. Subtenant accepts the Subleased Premises in its current,
“as-is” condition. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to furnish or supply any work, services, furniture, fixtures, equipment or decorations (other than the “Retained Furniture“as defined
herein), except Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises in broom clean condition and with existing Building systems serving the Premises in good working order. The obligations of Subtenant hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall not be liable for any damage to the Subleased Premises caused by Sublandlord in connection with Sublandlord’s vacating the Subleased Premises. 

10. Alterations. Subtenant Alterations shall be subject to Section 11 of the Primary Lease. 

11. Performance by Sublandlord. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have no obligation (a) to
furnish or provide, or cause to be furnished or provided, any repairs, restoration, alterations or other work, or electricity, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, water, elevator, cleaning or other
utilities or services, or (b) to comply with or perform or, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, to cause the compliance with or performance of, any of the terms and conditions required to be performed by Prime Landlord pursuant to
the terms of the Primary Lease. Subtenant hereby agrees that Prime Landlord is solely responsible for the performance of the foregoing obligations, but in the event that such performance is interrupted, rent shall be abated hereunder to the extent
that rent is abated under the Primary Lease for such interruption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the written request of Subtenant, Sublandlord shall make a written demand upon Prime Landlord 

  
 4 

620 Memorial Drive Sublease/Evelo (12-15-17rev) 








 
to perform its obligations under the Primary Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises if Prime Landlord fails to perform same within the time frame and in the manner required pursuant to the
Primary Lease; provided, however, Subtenant shall not be required to bring any action against the Prime Landlord to enforce its obligations. In the event Sublandlord makes written demand upon Prime Landlord or brings an action against Prime Landlord
to enforce Prime Landlord’s obligations under the Primary Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred by Sublandlord in connection
therewith shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord within ten (10) days after notice from Sublandlord. Sublandlord will, to the same extent it is relieved of its obligations to the Prime Landlord
as a result of non-performance by the Prime Landlord, relieve Subtenant. In no event shall Sublandlord be liable to Subtenant in damages, nor shall rent abate hereunder (except as stated in this
Section 11), for or on account of any failure by the Prime Landlord to perform the obligations and duties imposed on it under the Primary Lease. 

12. No Privity of Estate; No Privity of Contract. Nothing in this Sublease shall be construed to create privity of estate or privity of contract
between Subtenant and Prime Landlord. 
 13. No Breach of Primary Lease. Subtenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing, or omit to
do anything, which may constitute a breach or violation of any term, covenant or condition of the Primary Lease, notwithstanding such act, thing or omission is permitted under the terms of this Sublease. 

14. Subtenant Defaults. 

(a) If Subtenant fails to cure a default under this Sublease within any applicable grace or cure period contained
in the Primary Lease, Sublandlord, after five (5) days’ notice to Subtenant, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to seek to remedy any such default on the behalf of, and at the expense of, Subtenant, provided, however, that in
the case of: (i) a life safety or property related emergency; or (ii) a default which must be cured within a time frame set forth in the Primary Lease which does not allow sufficient time for prior notice to be given to Subtenant,
Sublandlord may remedy any such default without being required first to give notice to Subtenant. Any reasonable cost and expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred by Sublandlord shall be deemed
Additional Rent and shall be due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord within ten (10) business days after notice from Sublandlord. 

(b) If Subtenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent within five (5) days after the due date
of such payment, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, a “late charge” equal to five percent (5%) of any delinquent amount overdue for the purposes of defraying the expense of handling such delinquent payment. 

(c) If Subtenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent within five (5) days from the due date
of such payment, in addition to the payment of the late charge set forth immediately above, Subtenant shall also pay to Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, interest at the Default Rate (hereinafter defined) from the due date of such payment to the date
payment is made. “Default Rate” shall mean a rate per annum equal to the lesser of: (i) ten percent (10%) or (ii) the highest rate of interest permitted by applicable laws.

 15. Consents. 

(a) Whenever the consent or approval of Sublandlord is required, Subtenant shall also be obligated to obtain the written
consent or approval of Prime Landlord, if required pursuant to the terms of the Primary Lease. Sublandlord shall promptly make such consent request on behalf of Subtenant and Subtenant shall promptly provide any information or documentation that
Prime Landlord may request. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord, not later than ten (10) days after written demand by Sublandlord, for any fees and disbursements of attorneys, architects, engineers or others charged by Prime Landlord in
connection with any consent or approval. Sublandlord shall have no liability of any kind to Subtenant for Prime Landlord’s failure to give its consent or approval. 

(b) Sublandord may not modify or amend the Primary Lease in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the Sublease
Premises or the Subtenant’s permitted use and occupancy thereof, without Subtenant’s prior written consent (except to the extent such modification or amendment is required by applicable law or regulations), which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For avoidance of doubt, the exercise of any rights under Section 15 (Casualty; Taking) of the Primary Lease shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 15(b). 

16. Assignment or Subletting. Subtenant shall not sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Premises or assign, encumber, mortgage, pledge or
otherwise transfer this Sublease (by operation of law or otherwise) or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of: (a) Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (b) Prime
Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent shall be required in the event of a Transfer (as defined in the Primary Lease) permitted without consent under Section 13.7 (Exceptions to Requirement for Consent) of the Primary Lease.

 17. Hazardous Materials. Subtenant’s Hazardous Materials list is attached hereto as Exhibit D and made a part of this Sublease. 

18. Surrender of the Subleased Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 21.1 (Surrender) of the Primary Lease applies to the Sublease. 

19. Furniture. Throughout the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall have beneficial use of the furniture, fixtures and equipment (the “Retained
Furniture”). Subtenant hereby accepts the Retained Furniture in their “as is” condition, and acknowledges that while Sublandlord maintains ownership of the Retained Furniture during the Term, Sublandlord has made no
representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the Retained Furniture, other than to represent that same is owned by Sublandlord, free and clear of all security interests or chattel mortgages, or its condition, and Sublandlord shall have
no obligation to Subtenant at any time for any repair or replacement with respect to the Retained Furniture. Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain and repair the Retained Furniture using a qualified third party vendor, so that the
Retained Furniture is in substantially the same condition and repair on the Expiration Date as it was on the date hereof, reasonable wear and tear and damage from Casualty (to the extent such Casualty is covered by Section 15 (Casualty; Taking)
of the Primary Lease) excepted.

within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice from Subtenant, Subtenant shall have the right to remove or dispose of the same without obligation or liability to Sublandlord.

(Indemnification) to the Primary Lease shall apply to each of the respective parties to this Sublease.

 EXHIBIT E 

LETTER OF CREDIT REQUIREMENTS 

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Sublease Agreement dated as of December
            , 2017 (the “Sublease”) by and between Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Sublandlord”), and Evelo Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Subtenant”), for space in the Building located at 620 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given in the Sublease and the Primary Lease, as applicable. 
 The Letter of Credit (as defined in the
Sublease) shall be for the amount set forth in the Sublease, subject to the terms of Section 5 (Letter of Credit) of the Sublease. The Letter of Credit (i) shall be irrevocable and shall be issued by a commercial bank that has a financial
condition reasonably acceptable to Landlord and has an office in California that accepts requests for draws on the Letter of Credit, (ii) shall require only the presentation to the issuer of a certificate of the holder of the Letter of Credit
stating that Sublandlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of the Sublease, (iii) shall be payable to Sublandlord or its successors in interest as the Sublandlord and shall be freely transferable without cost to
any such successor or any lender holding a collateral assignment of Sublandlord’s interest in the Sublease, (iv) shall be for an initial term of not less than one year and contain a provision that such term shall be automatically renewed
for successive one-year periods unless the issuer shall, at least forty five (45) days prior to the scheduled expiration date, give Sublandlord notice of such nonrenewal, and (v) shall otherwise be
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of the Letter of Credit for the final period shall be for a term ending not earlier than the date forty five (45) days after the last day of the
term. In the event that the issuer ceases to be reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, due to a deterioration in its financial condition or change in status that threatens to compromise Sublandlord’s ability to draw on the Letter of Credit as
determined in good faith by Sublandlord, then Subtenant shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit from an issuer satisfying the terms of this Exhibit within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord’s notice of such event. 

Sublandlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit for its full amount or any portion thereof if (a) Subtenant shall fail to
perform any of its obligations under the Sublease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, or fail to perform any of its obligations under the Sublease and transmittal of a default notice or the running of any cure period is
barred or tolled by applicable law, or fail to perform any of its obligations under the Sublease and any applicable notice and cure period would expire after the expiration of the Letter of Credit, or (b) not less than thirty (30) days
before the scheduled expiration of the Letter of Credit, Subtenant has not delivered to Sublandlord a new Letter of Credit in accordance with this Exhibit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated
to, draw on the Letter of Credit from time to time in the event of a bankruptcy filing by or against Subtenant and/or to compensate Sublandlord, in such order as Sublandlord may determine, for all or any part of any unpaid Base Rent, unpaid
Additional Rent, and/or any damages arising from any termination of the Sublease in accordance with the terms of the Sublease, and/or any damages arising from any rejection of the Sublease in a bankruptcy proceeding commenced by or against
Subtenant. Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, apply the amount so drawn to the extent necessary to cure Subtenant’s failure.

 Any amount of the Letter of Credit drawn in excess of the amount applied by Sublandlord to cure
any such failure shall be held by Sublandlord as a cash security deposit for the performance by Subtenant of its obligations under the Sublease. Any cash security deposit may be mingled with other funds of Sublandlord and no fiduciary relationship
shall be created with respect to such deposit, nor shall Sublandlord be liable to pay Subtenant interest thereon. If Subtenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under the Sublease, Sublandlord may, but shall not be obliged to, apply the
cash security deposit to the extent necessary to cure Subtenant’s failure. After any such application by Sublandlord of the Letter of Credit or cash security deposit, as the case may be, Subtenant shall reinstate the Letter of Credit to the
amount originally required to be maintained under the Sublease, upon demand. Provided that Subtenant is not then in default under the Sublease, and no condition exists or event has occurred which after the expiration of any applicable notice or cure
period would constitute such a default, within forty five (45) days after the later to occur of (i) the payment of the final Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount due from Subtenant or (ii) the later to occur of the Sublease
Expiration Date or the date on which Subtenant surrenders the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord in compliance with Section 21 of the Primary Lease, the Letter of Credit and any cash security deposit, to the extent not applied, shall be returned
to the Subtenant, without interest. 
 Subtenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the
Letter of Credit or the monies deposited herein as security, and that neither Sublandlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
