AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SALARY CONTINUATION
AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SALARY CONTINUATION
AGREEMENT (“Amendment No. 1”) is made, effective as of December 9, 2008, by and between GenVec, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and Bryan Butman, Ph.D. (“Executive”).

 

Recitals: 

 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company
previously entered into the Salary Continuation Agreement, effective as October 15, 2002 (the “Salary Continuation Agreement”);
and

 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company
desire to further amend the Salary Continuation Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.

 

Agreement: 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the agreements contained herein and of such other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which Executive acknowledges,
the Company and Executive, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.          A
new Section 3.4 shall be added to the Salary Continuation Agreement to read as follows:

 

“3.4      SECTION
409A COMPLIANCE. Amounts payable other than those expressly payable on a deferred or installment basis, will be paid as promptly
as practical and, in any event, within 21⁄2 months after the end of the year in which such amount was earned.

 

Any amount that the Executive is entitled
to be reimbursed will be reimbursed as promptly as practical and in any event not later than the last day of the calendar year
after the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred, and the amount of the expenses eligible for reimbursement during any
calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year.

 

If at the time of separation from service
(i) the Executive is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A) and using the identification methodology selected
by the Company from time to time, and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable by the Company to
the Executive constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed
pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the
Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it in a lump sum on the first business
day after such six-month period together with interest for the period of delay, compounded annually, equal to the prime rate (as
published in the Wall Street Journal) in effect as of the dates the payments should otherwise have been provided.”

 

2.          The
provisions of this Amendment No. 1 may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the parties hereto. This Amendment
No. 1 may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

3.          Except
as set forth in this Amendment No. 1, the Salary Continuation Agreement shall remain unchanged and shall continue in full force
and effect.

 

IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Amendment No. 1 on the date first written above.

Section
12.1 Transfers. \l3ii) A Member other than the Initial Member may not Transfer any part of its Membership Interest
without (i) the prior written consent of the Initial Member, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) an opinion
of a nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such transfer will not cause the Company
to be treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. Any purported Transfer of any Membership
Interest in contravention of this Section 12.1 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and void and
of no force or effect whatsoever. No purchase or transfer of a Membership Interest shall be made by or to a Benefit Plan Investor,
no purchase or transfer of a Membership Interest by or to a Benefit Plan Investor will be effective, and neither the Company nor
the Initial Member will recognize any such purchase or transfer. In addition, no purchase or transfer will be effective if it would
cause the Company to (x) be classified as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes or (y) be required to withhold on the transferee’s distributions or distributive shares of income
under Sections 871, 881 or 1446 of the Code, and neither the Manager nor the Company will recognize any purchase or transfer giving
rise to such classification or withholding.

 

(b)The Initial Member
shall admit a transferee of a Member’s Membership Interest to the Company only if such transferee (i) has agreed in writing
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by becoming a party hereto and (ii) has delivered such additional documentation as the
Initial Member shall reasonably require to so admit such transferee to the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, both the Company and the Initial Member shall be entitled to treat the transferor of a Membership Interest as the
absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith
