 AND

 EPINOMICS 
 Effective the 27th day of July 2018, 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 10X GENOMICS INC. (“10X Genomics”), a corporation having a principal place of business at 7068 Koll Center Parkway, Suite 401, Pleasanton, CA 94566, agree as follows: 

 

	1.	 BACKGROUND 

  

	1.1	 Stanford and 10X Genomics are parties to a License Agreement effective October 15th, 2015 (“Original Agreement”) covering “ATAC-seq: Fast and efficient chromatin hypersensitivity mapping in small cell numbers using direct transposition” disclosed in Stanford
Docket S12-404. 

  

	1.2	 The Original Agreement was amended by an Amendment No 1 effective February 1st, 2017 (“Amended Original Agreement”) to add an invention entitled “ATAC-see: a method for integrated imaging and sequencing of the accessible
genome” disclosed in Stanford Docket S16-007. 

  

	1.3	 The Amended Original Agreement was assigned to 10X Genomics on March 7, 2018. 

 

	1.4	 Stanford and 10X Genomics wish to amend the Amended Original Agreement to: 

 

	 	(A)	 Extend the exclusivity term for the Research Field of Use; 

 

	 	(B)	 Add Stanford Docket S17-507 “Simultaneous measurement of RNA
sequence and accessible chromatin sites in single- and ensemble cells”; and 

  

	 	(C)	 Make such other amendments as set forth herein. 

 

	2.	 AMENDMENT 

  

	2.1	 The Background provision of the Amended Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following: 

 “Stanford has an assignment of an invention related to mapping chromatin regions, also known as
“Fast and efficient chromatin hypersensitivity mapping in small cell numbers using direct transposition,” invented in the laboratories of Dr. William Greenleaf and Dr. Howard Chang, and described in Stanford Docket S12-404 (the “Invention”). The Invention was made in the course 

 
of research supported by the California Institute of Regenerative Foundation (“CIRM”), The National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), and the Scleroderma Foundation.
Dr. Chang was an employee of The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (“HHMI”) and a Stanford faculty member when the Invention was made. Epinomics assigned this Agreement to 10X Genomics on March 7, 2018. Stanford wants to have the
Invention perfected and marketed as soon as possible so that resulting products may be available for public use and benefit.” 
  

	2.2	 Paragraph 2.9 of the Amended Original Agreement is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the
following paragraph: 

 “2.9 “Licensed Patent” means: 

 

	 	(i)	 Stanford’s PCT application Serial Number PCT/US2014/38825 filed May 20, 2014 (Stanford Docket S12-404), 

  

	 	(ii)	 US patent application Serial Number 62/306,504 filed March
10th, 2016, and PCT application serial number PCT/US2017/021677 (Stanford Docket S16-007),

reflect the contribution of each component in a particular Combination Product(s), then the parties shall negotiate in good faith a modification of the formula for the determination of Net Sales of that Combination Product(s). It is understood by
the parties that kits to perform the ATAC-seq reaction will not be treated as Combination Product, but rather, as a whole Licensed Product.”

	 	1.	 By July 15th, 2019, 10x Genomics will have a first sale of reagent kit for performing ATAC-Seq.
