EXECUTION VERSION 
 EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made this 23rd
day of November, 2016 is entered into by Surface Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Daniel S. Lynch (the “Executive”). 

INTRODUCTION 
 The Company
and the Executive desire to establish the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company. In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Services. The Executive agrees
to be employed by the Company, serving in a senior management role and performing such duties as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Company, such duties to be performed at such times and places as shall be mutually agreed to by the
Company and the Executive. The Executive shall dedicate twenty percent (20%) of his professional time to the Company. The Company agrees to cause the Executive to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as
Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board, and Executive agrees to serve in such capacities. The Executive shall serve on the Board until such time as this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 4 herein, at which
time the Executive shall resign from the Board and from all positions as an officer or director of the Company, unless the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to have the Executive continue to serve as a member of
the Board notwithstanding termination of this Agreement. 
 2. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall
continue until the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate (such period, the “Employment Period”). 

3. Compensation. 
 3.1
Salary/Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive a salary of $12,500 per month ($150,000 on an annual basis (the “Base Compensation”)), payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
practices for its executives. Payment for any partial month during the Employment Period shall be prorated. In addition, the Executive will be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base
Compensation, as determined by the Board using for such determination the same method used by the Board in determining the annual performance bonus of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Each annual performance bonus, if earned, shall be
paid to the Executive no later than March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year for which such bonus was earned. The Executive must be an employee of the Company on
September 30th of the applicable bonus year to earn any part of that bonus and, in the event that the Executive is not an employee of the Company through the last day of the applicable bonus year,
the amount of such bonus shall be pro-rated based on the number of days in such bonus year that the Executive was employed by the Company. 

 3.2 Equity. 

(a) Initial Equity Grant. As soon as practicable after entering into this Agreement, the Company shall grant the Executive an stock
option which, to the extent permitted by law, shall be an incentive stock option (the “Initial Option”) under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the purchase of 743,368 shares of common stock
of the Company (the “Initial Shares”) at a per share purchase price equal to the fair market value, as determined by the Board, on the date of the grant. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Initial Shares represent a one
and one half percent (1.5%) ownership interest in the Company as of the date hereof (based on the number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding, assuming the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and other rights to purchase
capital stock of the Company and the conversion of all securities convertible into common stock of the Company). Subject to the acceleration provisions set forth in Sections 3.2(c) and 3.5, the Initial Option will vest, starting on the date hereof
(the “Vesting Commencement Date”), at the rate of 2.0833% for each consecutive month that the Executive continues to be employed by the Company until the date that is four (4) full years after the Vesting Commencement Date, at which
time the Initial Option will be fully vested. 
 (b) Additional Equity Grants. In addition, for so long as the Executive continues
to be employed by the Company, subject to the determination of the Board and the Executive’s performance of his obligations hereunder, the Company shall from time to time, including, but not limited to, at such times as the Company considers
the grant of equity awards to any of the Company’s senior executives, consider the grant to the Executive of additional stock options (the “Additional Options”) for the purchase of additional shares of common stock of the Company (the
“Additional Shares”). 
 (c) Acceleration Upon a Sale. Notwithstanding the vesting schedules of the Initial Option and any
Additional Options, upon a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, provided in no event shall an IPO, a financing event that does not result in the distribution of proceeds to the
Company’s stockholders or a wind-down be a Deemed Liquidation Event for purposes of this Agreement), of the Company, the vesting schedule of the Initial Option and any Additional Options shall be accelerated in full and the Initial Option and
any Additional Options shall be immediately exercisable for the purchase of all or any portion of the full number of Initial Shares and the full number of Additional Shares. 

3.3 Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable documented out of pocket expenses incurred or paid by the
Executive in connection with, or related to, the performance of his duties under this Agreement, including Executive’s travel and lodging expenses and Executive’s administrative support expenses; provided, however, (x) for such
expenses as may also be reasonably related to the Executive’s performance of services for a third party, the Company shall only be obligated to reimburse the Executive for such expenses in an amount based on the Executive’s pro rata time
commitments to the Company as compared to 

  
 - 2 - 

 
any third parties in connection with such expense and (y) the maximum amount of the Executive’s administrative support expenses that the Company shall be required to reimburse shall be
$5,000 per year. The Executive shall submit to the Company documentation, expense statements and other supporting evidence as the Company may reasonably request from the Executive and an itemized monthly statement of such expenses incurred in the
previous month. The Company shall pay to the Executive amounts shown on each such statement within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. The Company shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and
Dorr LLP, counsel for the Executive, incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, not to exceed $7,500. All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the requirements of
Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto (the “Code”), including, where applicable, the requirement that: (i) any reimbursement
is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement); (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other calendar year; (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement
or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 3.4 Benefits. The Executive and the members of
his immediate family shall be entitled to participate in all health and dental benefit programs that the Company establishes and makes available to its employees, and all other benefit programs that the Company establishes and makes available to its
employees, if any, each in case to the extent that Executive’s position, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make him eligible to participate, subject to the terms of such plans. In the event that (x) the Executive is not
eligible to participate in all health benefit programs that the Company establishes and makes available to its employees and (y) the Executive does not have comparable coverage under a plan or plans of other employers, the Company shall pay to
the Executive a monthly cash payment in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive was a full-time employee and eligible
to participate in such health benefit program. 
 3.5 Severance and Vesting Acceleration. 

(a) In the event that (i) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause (as defined below) or
(ii) the Executive terminates his employment hereunder for Good Reason (as defined below), if the Executive enters into a valid and irrevocable release of all claims against the Company and all related persons and entities in the form
substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) and such Release becomes irrevocable within 60 days following the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, then upon the Effective Date
(as defined in the Release) (or if later, upon the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code), and Executive complies with his continuing obligations pursuant to Section 6, (x)
the Executive shall be entitled to the salary that would have been payable to the Executive pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Post Termination Period, and (y) the portion of the Initial Option and any Additional Options that would have
vested during the Post Termination Period if this Agreement was not so terminated shall immediately vest.

written notice by the Company to the Executive of such failure, (y) the Executive has engaged in an act of material dishonesty, fraud or willful misconduct in connection with the Executive’s duties hereunder or in dealings with the Company
or knowing engagement in conduct which reasonably would be expected to be materially detrimental or injurious (monetarily or otherwise) to the Company, or (z) the Executive’s breach of any material provision of this Agreement or any other
agreement by and between the Executive and the Company, which breach is not cured within ten (10) business days following written notice by the Company to the Executive of such breach; or (ii) the conviction of the Executive of, or the

 4. Termination. The Executive’s
employment under this Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or the Executive upon written notice to the other party provided, however, the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Good Reason, in

employment with the Company he will have access to and contact with Proprietary Information. The Executive shall not disclose any Proprietary Information to any person or entity other than employees, officers, directors, lawyers, accountants and
consultants of the Company or use the same for any purposes (other than in the performance of his duties as an employee or director of the Company) without written approval by an officer of the Company, either during or after the Employment Period,
unless and until such Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault by the Executive. 
 (b) For purposes of this
Agreement, Proprietary Information shall mean, by way of illustration and not limitation, all information, whether or not in writing, whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable, of a private, secret or confidential nature, owned,
possessed or used by the Company, concerning the Company’s business, business relationships or financial affairs, including, without limitation, any Invention, formula, vendor information, customer information, apparatus, equipment, trade

sketches, drawings, models, laboratory notebooks, program listings, computer equipment or devices, computer programs or other written, photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by the Executive or
others, which shall come into his custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by the Executive only in the performance of his duties for the Company and shall not be copied or removed from the Company
premises except in the pursuit of the business of the Company. All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of the Company in the custody or possession of the Executive shall be delivered to the Company, upon the earlier of
(i) a request by the Company or (ii) the termination of this Agreement. After such delivery, the Executive shall not retain any such materials or copies thereof or any such tangible property. 

(e) The Executive agrees that his obligation not to disclose or to use information and materials of the types set forth in paragraphs
(b) and (d) above, and his obligation to return materials and tangible property set forth in paragraph (d) above extends to such types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company
or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company or to the Executive. 
 (f) The Executive acknowledges
that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or with the United States Government, or agencies thereof, that impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under
such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. The Executive agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions that are known to him and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under
such agreements. 
 (g) Pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable
under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely
for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall be
interpreted or applied to prohibit Executive from making any good faith report to any governmental agency or other governmental entity concerning any acts or omissions that Executive believes to constitute a possible violation of federal or state
law or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable federal or state law or regulation. 

6.2 Inventions. 
 (a)
All inventions, creations, discoveries, computer programs, data, developments, technology, designs, innovations and improvements (whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable) which are made, conceived, reduced to practice, created,
written, designed or developed by the Executive, solely or jointly with others or under his direction and whether during normal business hours or otherwise, (i) during the Employment Period if made, conceived, reduced to practice, created,
written, designed or developed in the course of Executive’s performance of duties pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) during or after the Employment Period if resulting or directly derived from Proprietary Information (collectively

  
 - 6 - 

 
under clauses (i) and (ii), “Inventions”), shall be the sole property of the Company. The Executive hereby assigns and transfers and, to the extent any such assignment cannot be
made at present, will assign and transfer, to the Company all Inventions and any and all related patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and other industrial and intellectual property rights and applications therefor, in the United States and
elsewhere and appoints any officer of the Company as his duly authorized attorney to execute, file, prosecute and protect the same before any government agency, court or authority. However, this paragraph shall not apply to Inventions which do
not relate to the business or research and development conducted or planned to be conducted by the Company at the time such Invention is created, made, conceived or reduced to practice and which are made and conceived by the Executive not during
normal working hours, not on the Company’s premises and not using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information. 

(b) Upon the request of the Company and at the Company’s expense, the Executive shall execute such further assignments, documents and
other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to fully and completely assign all Inventions to the Company and to assist the Company in applying for, obtaining and enforcing patents or copyrights or other rights in the United States and in any
foreign country with respect to any Invention. The Executive also hereby waives all claims to moral rights in any Inventions. 
 (c) The
Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions and shall maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and as may be specified by the Company) to document the conception and/or first actual
reduction to practice of any Invention. Such written records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. 

6.3 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. 

(a) In order to protect the Company’s confidential information, Inventions and good will, during the Employment Period and for a period
of one (1) year following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive will not directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, director, manager,
consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage or participate in any business activity (“Activities”) anywhere in the United States that develops, manufactures or markets any products
that are directed to the same molecular targets as any products that are under development or that are the subject of active planning at any time during the Executive’s employment with the Company (“Field”); provided that this shall
not prohibit any possible investment in publicly traded stock of a company representing less than one percent of the stock of such company. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if (x) after the time the Executive begins
performing Activities for a third party, the Executive learns that such third party is engaged in the development, manufacture or marketing of one or more products in the Field and (y) the Executive is permitted by such third party to disclose
the third party’s identity and the specific molecular target of such product or products to the Company, the Executive shall promptly thereafter disclose the identity of such third party and such specific molecular target. Alternatively, if the
Executive is not permitted by such third party to disclose the identity of such third party or the specific molecular target of such product or products to the Company, the Executive shall promptly notify the Company that he is engaged in Activities
for a third party 

  
 - 7 - 

 
engaged in the development, manufacture or marketing of one or more products in the Field (without disclosing the Third Party’s identity or the specific molecular target of such product or
products). In either such case, the Company may as a result of such disclosure elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4, such termination by the Company to be deemed to have been made without Cause. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.3 shall not prevent the Executive’s employment by a business entity that develops, manufactures or markets any products that are directed to the same molecular targets as any products that are under
development or that are the subject of active planning at any time during the Employment Period, provided that the Executive does not engage or participate in any business activity that directly supports such development, manufacture or marketing.

 (b) In addition, during the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner, other than for the benefit
of the Company, (a) call upon, solicit, divert, take away, accept or conduct any business from or with any of the customers or prospective customers of the Company or any of its suppliers, and/or (b) unless the Company consents in writing
(such consent not be unreasonably withheld), solicit, entice, attempt to persuade any other employee or consultant of the Company to leave the Company for any reason or otherwise participate in or facilitate the hire, directly or through another
entity, of any person who is employed or engaged by the Company or who was employed or engaged by the Company within six months of any attempt to hire such person. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that if he violates any of the provisions of
this paragraph 6.3, the running of the Restricted Period will be extended by the time during which the Executive engages in such violation(s). 

7. Other Agreements. The Executive represents that his performance of all the terms of this Agreement and the performance of his duties
as an employee of the Company do not and will not breach any agreement with any third party to which the Executive is a party (including, without limitation, any nondisclosure or non-competition agreement),
and that the Executive will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any current or previous employer or others. 

8. Non-Exclusivity. Except as set forth in Section 6.3, the Executive retains the right to
be employed by other companies and to contract with other companies or entities for his consulting services without restriction. 
 9.
Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that any breach of the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement shall result in serious and irreparable injury to the Company for which the Company cannot be adequately compensated by monetary
damages alone. The Executive agrees, therefore, that, in addition to any other remedy it may have, the Company shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by the Executive and to seek both temporary and permanent
injunctive relief (to the extent permitted by law) without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond. 
 10. Notices.
All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or three days after deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested),
postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at the address shown above, or at such other address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance with this Section 10. 

  
 - 8 - 

 11. Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall
include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. 

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
 13. Amendment. This Agreement may be
amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Executive. 
 14.
Non-Assignability of Contract. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and the Executive shall not have the right to assign any of his rights or delegate any of his duties without the express
written consent of the Company. Any non-consented-to assignment or delegation, whether express or implied or by operation of law, shall be void and shall constitute a
breach and a default by the Executive. 
 15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction. 

16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, both parties and their respective
successors and assigns, including any entity with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or consolidated or which may succeed to its assets or business, provided, however, that the obligations of the Executive are personal and shall not be
assigned by him. 
 17. Interpretation. If any restriction set forth in Section 6 is found by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities
or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable. 
 18. Survival. Section 3.5 and Sections 4 through 20 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
 19. Section 409A. 

19.1 To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes
“non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of service, then such
payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 

  
 - 9 - 

 19.2 The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with
Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this
Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder
without additional cost to either party. 
 19.3 The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the
Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section. 

20. Miscellaneous. 
 20.1
No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be valid or binding on either Party unless the same
shall be been mutually assented to in writing by both Parties. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by the other Party of any of the provisions
of this Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the right of either Party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by either Party of any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement. 

20.2 The captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or
substance of any section of this Agreement. 
 20.3 In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

 WHEREAS, in connection with the termination of the Employment Agreement, the Parties wish to resolve any and
all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions, and demands that the Executive may have against the Company and any of the Releasees (as defined below) arising out of or related to the Executive’s provision of
services to or termination of employment with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or the termination of the Employment Agreement (the “Employment Relationship”) but, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein will be

 A-1 

 
of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that the Executive may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages that

Agreement; (b) the Executive has 21 days within which to consider this Agreement; (c) the Executive has 7 days following the Executive’s execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement pursuant to written notice to the Secretary
of the Company; (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until after the revocation period has expired; and (e) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes the Executive from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the
validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. In the event the Executive signs this Agreement and returns it to the Company in
less than the 21 day period identified above, the Executive hereby acknowledges that the Executive has freely and voluntarily chosen to waive the time period allotted for considering this Agreement.

 A-3 

 7. Effective Date. If the Executive has attained or is over the age of 40 as of the date

 Exhibit 10.15 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is by and between Surface Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) and J. Jeffrey Goater
(the “Executive”) and is made effective as of the closing of the Company’s first underwritten public offering of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Effective Date”). Except with respect to the Restrictive Covenants Agreements and the Equity Documents (each as defined below), this Agreement supersedes, amends and restates in all respects all prior agreements between the Executive and
the Company regarding the subject matter herein, including without limitation any offer letter, employment agreement or severance agreement. 

1. Employment Term. The Company and the Executive desire to continue their employment relationship, pursuant to this
Agreement commencing as of the date hereof and continuing in effect until terminated by either party in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”). The Executive’s employment with the Company will continue to be “at will,”
meaning that the Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company or the Executive at any time and for any reason subject to the terms of this Agreement. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason,
the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) any earned but unpaid Base Salary (as defined below), unpaid expense reimbursements in accordance with Company policy, accrued but unused vacation, if
any and any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”). 

2. Position and Duties. The Executive shall hold the position of President and Chief Executive Officer (the
“CEO”). The Executive will have such powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Executive shall devote his full working time and best efforts, skill,
knowledge, attention and energies to the business and affairs of the Company and to the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Company. While the Executive renders services to the Company, he will not
engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity (whether full-time or part-time) without prior written authorization from the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may engage in religious, charitable or other
community activities as long as such services and activities do not interfere with the Executive’s performance of his duties to the Company. The Executive reaffirms that he has no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would
prohibit him from fully performing his duties for the Company. During Executive’s employment as CEO, he shall also serve as a member of the Company’s Board. Upon the ending of the Executive’s employment as CEO, he shall immediately
resign from the Board as well as from any other positions to which he was elected or appointed in connection with his position as CEO. The Executive shall be based at the Company’s headquarters, currently in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

3. Compensation and Related Matters. 

(a) Base Salary. The Executive’s annual base salary is $465,000, which is subject to review and redetermination by the Board or
the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The annual base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Base Salary will be payable in a manner that is consistent
with the Company’s usual payroll practices for executive employees. 

 (b) Bonus. During the Term, the Executive will be eligible to be considered for annual
cash bonus as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The Executive’s annual target bonus is 50% of the Base Salary, which is subject to review and redetermination by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The annual target
bonus in effect at any given time is referred to herein as the “Target Bonus.” The actual bonus shall be discretionary and shall be subject to terms and conditions of any applicable bonus plan as may be adopted from time to time. The
Executive’s bonus, if any, will be paid by March 15 of the year following the applicable bonus year. To earn a bonus, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day such bonus is paid. 

(c) Employee Benefits. During the Term, the Executive will be entitled to continue to participate in the Company’s employee
benefit plans and programs, subject to the terms and the conditions of such plans and to the Company’s ability to amend, modify, replace or terminate such plans and programs. 

(d) Equity. The equity awards held by the Executive shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Company’s applicable
equity incentive plan(s), the applicable award agreement(s) governing the terms of such equity awards held by the Executive, and Section 4 of the Executive’s prior offer letter dated December 6, 2016 (the “Preserved Equity
Provision”) (collectively, the “Equity Documents”); provided, however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Documents, Section 6(c) of this Agreement shall apply in the event of a
Qualified Termination Event within the Change in Control Period (as defined below), to the extent accelerated vesting did not already occur upon a Change in Control in accordance with the Preserved Equity Provision. 

(e) Reimbursement of Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for business expenses reasonably and necessarily
incurred by the Executive in connection with the Company’s business. Expense reimbursement shall be subject to the policies the Company may adopt from time to time, including with respect to pre-approval and limitations. Any
reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the amount that may be reimbursed in any other calendar year and a reimbursement (or right thereto) may not be exchanged or liquidated for another benefit
or payment. Any business expense reimbursements subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such business expense is incurred by the
Executive. 
 4. Certain Definitions. 

(a) Change in Control. “Change in Control” means (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation pursuant to which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power and outstanding stock immediately prior to such
transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power and outstanding stock or other equity interests of the resulting or successor entity (or its ultimate parent, if applicable) 

  
 2 

 
immediately upon completion of such transaction, (iii) the sale of all of the outstanding voting stock of the Company to an unrelated person, entity or group thereof acting in
concert, or (iv) any other transaction in which the owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company or any
successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction other than as a result of the acquisition of securities directly from the Company; provided, however, that the Company’s Initial Public Offering, any subsequent public offering or
another capital raising event, or a merger effected solely to change the Company’s domicile shall not constitute a “Change in Control.” 

(b) Change in Control Period. “Change in Control Period” means the period beginning on the date of a Change in Control and
ending on the one-year anniversary of the Change in Control. 
 (c) Disability. An Executive
becomes “Disabled” for purposes of this Agreement if through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature the Executive becomes unable to perform substantially all of his duties and
responsibilities for a continuous period of thirteen (13) consecutive weeks or for any twenty (20) weeks within a fifty-two (52) week period. Determinations as to whether Executive is Disabled shall be made by a
physician selected by the Board or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative, such agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the interest of clarity, the Board may
designate another employee to act in the Executive’s place during any period the Executive becomes unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities. 

(d) Qualified Termination Event. A “Qualified Termination Event” means termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Company under the circumstances set forth below in Section 4(d)(i) (“Termination by the Company without Cause”) or Section 4(d)(ii) (“The Executive’s Resignation for Good Reason”), in any event subject to
provisions in Section 4(e). 
 (i) Termination by the Company without Cause. Termination by the Company of
the Executive’s employment without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means the Executive’s: 

(A) unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets, which use or disclosure
causes material harm to the Company; 
 (B) material breach of any agreement between the Executive and the Company; 

(C) material failure to comply with the Company’s written policies or rules; 

(D) conviction of, or plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony under the laws of the United States or
any State; 

  
 3 

 (E) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the
Executive’s duties to the Company; 
 (F) continuing failure to perform assigned duties after receiving written
notification of the failure from the Board of Directors; or 
 (G) failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or
internal investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, if the Company has requested the Executive’s cooperation. 

(ii) The Executive’s Resignation for Good Reason. The Executive’s resignation of his employment with the
Company for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means that the Executive has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(A) a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary (as pro-rated based on the Executive’s business time devoted to the
Company) by more than 10%; 
 (B) a material diminution of the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; or

 (C) a relocation of the Executive’s principal workplace by more than 30 miles. 

“Good Reason Process” means that (i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a “Good Reason”
condition has occurred; (ii) the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 90 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (iii) the Executive cooperates in good
faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and
(v) the Executive terminates his employment within 30 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. 

(e) A Qualified Termination Event shall not be deemed to have occurred pursuant to this Section as a result of: (i) the ending of the
Executive’s employment due to the Executive’s death or Disability, (ii) the Executive’s resignation for any reason, other than for Good Reason, (iii) the Company’s termination of the employment
relationship for Cause; or (iv) solely as a result of the Executive being or becoming an employee of any direct or indirect successor to the business or assets of the Company rather than continuing as an employee of the Company following
a Change in Control. 

  
 4 

 5. Termination. During the Term, the Executive’s employment hereunder may be
terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances: 
 (a) Death. The Executive’s
employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause.

terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause.

 6.
Severance and Accelerated Vesting if a Qualified Termination Event Occurs within the Change in Control Period. In the event a Qualified Termination Event occurs within the Change in Control Period, subject to the Executive signing
and complying with a separation agreement in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company containing, among other provisions, a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities, confidentiality, return of property,
non-disparagement and reaffirmation of any restrictive covenants (the “Separation Agreement and Release”) and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within the time period set forth in the Separation Agreement and
Release but in no event more than 60 days after the Date of Termination, the following shall occur: 
 (a) the Company shall pay to the
Executive an amount equal to the sum of eighteen (18) months the Executive’s Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the Qualified Termination Event (or the Executive’s Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the Change
in Control, if higher) plus 1.5 times the amount of the Executive’s Target Bonus; 
 (b) if the Executive was participating in the
Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the
Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company for eighteen (18) months after the Date of Termination, based on the premiums as of the Date of Termination; and 

(c) 100% of all time-based equity awards held by the Executive shall immediately accelerate and become fully exercisable or nonforfeitable as
of the Date of Termination. 
 The amounts payable under Section 6(a) and (b), as applicable, shall be paid out in a lump sum within 60 days after the Date
of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the amounts shall be paid in the second calendar year no later than the last day of the 60-day period. 

  
 5 

 7. Severance if a Qualified Termination Event Occurs Outside the Change in Control
Period. In the event a Qualified Termination Event occurs at any time other than during the Change in Control Period, subject to the Executive signing and not revoking the Separation Agreement and Release, all within the time period set
forth in the Separation Agreement and Release but in no event more than 60 days after the Date of Termination, and subject to the Executive complying with the Separation Agreement and Release, the following shall occur: 

(a) the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to the sum of twelve (12) months of the Executive’s annual Base
Salary in effect immediately prior to the Qualified Termination Event; and 
 (b) if the Executive was participating in the Company’s
group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment for twelve (12) months or the Executive’s COBRA health continuation
period, whichever ends earlier, in an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company, based on the premiums as of
the Date of Termination. 
 The amounts payable under Section 7(a) and (b) shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in
accordance with the Company’s payroll practice over twelve (12) months commencing within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends
in a second calendar year, the severance shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive
to the day immediately following the Date of Termination. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). 

8. Restrictive Covenants Agreement. The terms of the Employee Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality and
Assignment Agreement dated December 13, 2016 (the “2016 Restrictive Covenants Agreement”) and the Employee Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality and Assignment Agreement dated April 26, 2017 between the Company and the
Executive, attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “2017 Restrictive Covenants Agreement”) continue to be in full force and effect. The 2016 Restrictive Covenants Agreement and the 2017 Restrictive Covenants Agreement are collectively
referred to as the “Restrictive Covenants Agreements.” The Executive agrees that the term “Company,” as used in the Restrictive Covenants Agreements, shall mean the Company, its subsidiaries and other affiliates, and its and
their successors and assigns. The Executive hereby reaffirms the terms of both Restrictive Covenants Agreements, as modified herein, as material terms of this Agreement and agrees and acknowledges that such terms are incorporated by reference in
this Agreement. The Executive and the Company agree that in the event of any inconsistencies between the 2016 Restrictive Covenants Agreement and the 2017 Restrictive Covenants Agreement, the 2017 Restrictive Covenants Agreement will be controlling.

 (a) Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement
with any previous employer or other party that restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executive’s execution
of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations 

  
 6 

 
the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of
any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information
belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party. 
 (b) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and
after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which
relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with
counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with
any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the
Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 8(b). 

(c) Relief. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any
breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 8, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach,
any portion of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the
Company. In addition, in the event the Executive breaches either of the Restrictive Covenants Agreements during a period when he is receiving severance payments pursuant to Section 6 or 7, the Company shall have the right to suspend or
terminate such severance payments. Such suspension or termination shall not limit the Company’s other options with respect to relief for such breach and shall not relieve the Executive of his duties under this Agreement. 

(d) Protected Disclosures and Other Protected Actions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or applied to prohibit the
Executive from making any good faith report to any governmental agency or other governmental entity (a “Government Agency”) concerning any act or omission that the Executive reasonably believes constitutes a possible violation of federal
or state law or making other disclosures that are protected under the anti-retaliation or whistleblower provisions of applicable federal or state law or regulation. In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement limits the Executive’s ability
to communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including the Executive’s ability to provide documents or other information, without notice to
the Company. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law or under this Agreement or the
Restrictive Covenants Agreements for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the
purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

 9. Additional Limitation. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by
the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code and the applicable
regulations thereunder (the “Aggregate Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the
Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which the Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in the Executive
receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than the Executive would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in
reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A
of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments
all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c). 

(b) For purposes of this Section 9, the “After Tax Amount” means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state,
and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on the Executive as a result of the Executive’s receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After Tax Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes
at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each
applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. 

(c) The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 9 shall be made by a
nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if
applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. 

  
 8 

 10. Section 409A. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that
the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to
Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of
(A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. 

(b) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any
provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree
that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits
provided hereunder without additional cost to either party. 
 (c) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement
under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement
be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall
not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is
not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 (d) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement
constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be
payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(h). 
 (e) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any
other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section. 

  
 9 

 11. Withholding. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under
this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. 
 12. Notice and
Date of Termination. 
 (a) Notice of Termination. During the Term, any termination of the Executive’s employment (other
than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with this Section 12. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a
notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon. 
 (b) Date of Termination. “Date
of Termination” shall mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of the Executive’s death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of Executive’s
Disability, by the Company for Cause, or by the Company without Cause, the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive for any reason except for Good Reason, 30
days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the
Company for purposes of this Agreement. 
 13. Representations and Warranties. The Executive represents that he has not
been debarred under Subsection (a) or (b) of Section 306 of the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 335a); and is not on any of the FDA clinical investigator enforcement lists (including the
(i) Disqualified/Totally Restricted List, (ii) Restricted List and (iii) Adequate Assurances List). 

14. No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated during the
term of this Agreement, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 or Section 7 hereof. Further, the amount of
any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer. 

15. Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any
other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process. 

16. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to compensation,
severance pay, benefits and accelerated vesting and supersedes in all respects all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter, including without limitation any offer letter, employment agreement or severance agreement
relating to the 

  
 10 

 
Executive’s employment relationship with the Company and/or the ending of that employment relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restrictive Covenants Agreements, the Equity
Documents, each as modified herein, and any other agreement relating to confidentiality, noncompetition, nonsolicitation or assignment of inventions shall not be superseded by this Agreement and the Executive acknowledges and agrees that any such
agreements remain in full force and effect. 
 17. Successor to the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. In the event of the Executive’s death after a Qualified Termination Event but prior to the
completion by the Company of all payments due to the Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to his death (or to the Executive’s
estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation). 
 18. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any Section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the
application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law. 
 19. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in
writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of
such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 20. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands
and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight currier service of by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company, or to the Company at its main office, attention of the Board of Directors. 

21. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a
duly authorized representative of the Company. 
 22. Effect on Other Plans and Agreements. An election by the Executive to
resign for Good Reason under the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive for the purpose of interpreting the provisions of any of the Company’s benefit plans, programs or policies.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the rights of the Executive under the Company’s benefit plans, programs or policies except as otherwise provided in Section 8 hereof, and except that the Executive shall have no
rights to any severance benefits under any Company severance pay plan, offer letter or otherwise. In the event that the Executive is party to an agreement with the Company providing for payments or benefits under such agreement and this Agreement,
the terms of this Agreement 

  
 11 

 
shall govern and the Executive may receive payment under this Agreement only and not both. Further, Section 6 and Section 7 of this Agreement are mutually exclusive and in
no event shall the Executive be entitled to payments or benefits pursuant to Section 6 and Section 7 of this Agreement. 

23. Governing Law. This is a Massachusetts contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles. 
 24. Successor to
Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material
breach of this Agreement. 
 25. Gender Neutral. Wherever used herein, a pronoun in the masculine gender shall be
considered as including the feminine gender unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. 
 26. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

 EXHIBIT A 

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AGREEMENT 

 SURFACE ONCOLOGY, INC. 

Employee Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality and Assignment Agreement 

In consideration and as a condition of my employment or continued employment by Surface Oncology, Inc. (along with its subsidiaries and
affiliates, the “Company”), I agree as follows: 

 

 1. Proprietary Information. I agree that all information, whether or not in writing,
concerning the Company’s business, technology, business relationships or financial affairs which the Company has not released to the general public (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) is and will be the exclusive property of the
Company. By way of illustration, Proprietary Information may include information or material which has not been made generally available to the public, such as: (a) corporate information, including plans, strategies, methods, policies,
resolutions, negotiations or litigation; (b) marketing information, including strategies, methods, customer identities or other information about customers, prospect identities or other information about prospects, or market analyses or
projections; (c) financial information, including cost and performance data, debt arrangements, equity structure, investors and holdings, purchasing and sales data and price lists; and (d) operational and technological information,
including plans, specifications, manuals, forms, templates, software, designs, methods, procedures, formulas, discoveries, inventions, improvements, concepts and ideas; and (e) personnel information, including personnel lists, reporting or
organizational structure, resumes, personnel data, compensation structure, performance evaluations and termination arrangements or documents. Proprietary Information also includes information received in confidence by the Company from its customers
or suppliers or other third parties. 
 2. Recognition of Company’s Rights. I will not, at any time, without the
Company’s prior written permission, either during or after my employment, disclose any Proprietary Information to anyone outside of the Company, or use or permit to be used any Proprietary Information for any purpose other than the performance
of my duties as an employee of the Company. I will cooperate with the Company and use my best efforts to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of all Proprietary Information. I will deliver to the Company all copies of Proprietary Information in my
possession or control upon the earlier of a request by the Company or termination of my employment. 
 3. Rights of Others. I
understand that the Company is now and may hereafter be subject to non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements with third persons which require the Company to protect or refrain from use of proprietary information. I agree to be bound by the
terms of such agreements in the event I have access to such proprietary information. 
 4. Commitment to Company; Avoidance of Conflict of
Interest. While an employee of the Company, I will devote my full-time efforts to the Company’s business and I will not engage in any other business activity that conflicts with my duties to the Company. I will advise the
president of the Company or his or her nominee at such time as any activity of

 
either the Company or another business presents me with a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest as an employee of the Company. I will take whatever action is requested
of me by the Company to resolve any conflict or appearance of conflict which it finds to exist. 
 5. Developments. I will make
full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all inventions, discoveries, designs, developments, methods, modifications, improvements, processes, algorithms, databases, computer programs, formulae, techniques, trade secrets, graphics or images, and
audio or visual works and other works of authorship (collectively “Developments”), whether or not patentable or copyrightable, that are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by me (alone or jointly with others) or under my
direction during the period of my employment. I acknowledge that all work performed by me is on a “work for hire” basis, and I hereby do assign and transfer and, to the extent any such assignment cannot be made at present, will assign and
transfer, to the Company and its successors and assigns all my right, title and interest in all Developments that (a) relate to the business of the Company or any customer of or supplier to the Company or any of the products or services being
researched, developed, manufactured or sold by the Company or which may be used with such products or services; or (b) result from tasks assigned to me by the Company; or (c) result from the use of premises or personal property (whether tangible or
intangible) owned, leased or contracted for by the Company (“Company-Related Developments”), and all related patents, patent applications, trademarks and trademark applications, copyrights and copyright applications, and other intellectual
property rights in all countries and territories worldwide and under any international conventions (“Intellectual Property Rights”). 
 To
preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto a complete list of Developments that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment
with the Company that I consider to be my property or the property of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (“Prior Inventions”). If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause me to violate
any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Inventions in Exhibit A but am only to disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full
disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. I have also listed on Exhibit A all patents and patent applications in which I am named as an inventor, other than those which have been assigned to the Company
(“Other Patent Rights”). If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions or Other Patent Rights. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company
product, process or machine or other work done for the 

 

 
Company, I hereby grant to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, paid-up, irrevocable, worldwide license (with the full right to sublicense) to make, have made, modify, use, sell, offer for
sale and import such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company-Related Development without the Company’s prior written consent. 

This Agreement does not obligate me to assign to the Company any Development which, in the sole judgment of the Company, reasonably exercised, is developed
entirely on my own time and does not relate to the business efforts or research and development efforts in which, during the period of my employment, the Company actually is engaged or reasonably would be engaged, and does not result from the use of
premises or equipment owned or leased by the Company. However, I will also promptly disclose to the Company any such Developments for the purpose of determining whether they qualify for such exclusion. I understand that to the extent this Agreement
is required to be construed in accordance with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this paragraph 5 will be interpreted not to apply to any
invention which a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes. I also hereby waive all claims to any moral rights or other special rights which I may have or accrue in any Company-Related Developments. 

6. Documents and Other Materials. I will keep and maintain adequate and current records of all Proprietary Information and
Company-Related Developments developed by me during my employment, which records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. 

All files, letters, notes, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, notebooks, layouts, charts, quotations and proposals, specification sheets,
program listings, blueprints, models, prototypes, or other written, photographic or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by me or others, which come into my custody or possession, are the exclusive property of
the Company to be used by me only in the performance of my duties for the Company. Any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including without limitation computers, disks and other storage media, filing cabinets
or other work areas, is subject to inspection by the Company at any time with or without notice. In the event of the termination of my employment for any reason, I will deliver to the Company all files, letters, notes, memoranda, reports, records,
data, sketches, drawings, notebooks, layouts, charts, quotations and proposals, specification sheets, program listings, blueprints, models, prototypes, or other written, photographic or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information, and
other materials of any nature pertaining to the Proprietary Information of the Company and to my work, and will not take or keep in my possession any of the foregoing or any copies. 

7. Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. I will cooperate fully with the Company, both during and after my employment with
the Company, with respect to the

 
procurement, maintenance and enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights in Company-Related Developments. I will sign, both during and after the term of this Agreement, all papers, including
without limitation copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any
Company-Related Development. If the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any such papers, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint each officer of the Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such
papers on my behalf, and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Company-Related Development. 

8. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. 

In order to protect the Company’s Proprietary Information and good will, during my employment and for a period of one (1) year following the termination
of my employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), I will not directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, director, manager, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage, participate or invest
in any business activity anywhere in the world that develops, manufactures or markets any products, or performs any services, that are directed to the same molecular targets as any products or services of the Company, or products or services that
the Company or its affiliates, has under development or that are the subject of active planning at any time during my employment; provided that this shall not prohibit any possible investment in publicly traded stock of a company representing less
than one percent of the stock of such company. 
 In addition, during the Restricted Period, I will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner, other than
for the benefit of the Company, (a) call upon, solicit, divert, take away, accept or conduct any business from or with any of the customers or prospective customers of the Company or any of its suppliers, and/or (b) solicit, entice, attempt to
persuade any other employee or consultant of the Company to leave the Company for any reason or otherwise participate in or facilitate the hire, directly or through another entity, of any person who is employed or engaged by the Company or who was
employed or engaged by the Company within six months of any attempt to hire such person. 
 I acknowledge and agree that if I violate any of the provisions
of this paragraph 8, the running of the Restricted Period will be extended by the time during which I engage in such violation(s). 
 9.
Government Contracts. I acknowledge that the Company may have from time to time agreements with other persons or with the United States Government or its agencies which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company
regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. I agree to comply with any such obligations or restrictions upon the direction of the Company. In addition to the rights
assigned under paragraph 5, I also assign to the 

 

 
Company (or any of its nominees) all rights which I have or acquired in any Developments, full title to which is required to be in the United States under any contract between the Company and the
United States or any of its agencies. 
 10. Prior Agreements. I hereby represent that, except as I have fully disclosed
previously in writing to the Company, I am not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in the course of my
employment with the Company or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. I further represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement as an employee of the
Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment with the Company. I will not disclose to the Company or induce the
Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or others. 
 11. Remedies Upon
Breach. I understand that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and I consider them to be reasonable for such purpose. Any breach of this Agreement is
likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of such breach, the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, will be entitled to specific performance and other injunctive
relief, without the posting of a bond. If I violate this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law, in equity, and under contract, I agree that I am obligated to pay all the Company’s costs of enforcement of
this Agreement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses. 
 12. Use of Voice, Image and Likeness. I give the Company
permission to use any and all of my voice, image and likeness, with or without using my name, in connection with the products and/or services of the Company, for the purposes of advertising and promoting such products and/or services and/or the
Company, and/or for other purposes deemed appropriate by the Company in its reasonable discretion, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law. 

13. No Employment Obligation. I understand that this Agreement does not create an obligation on the Company or any other
person to continue my employment. I acknowledge that my employment with the Company is at will and therefore may be terminated by the Company or me at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. 

14. Survival and Assignment by the Company. I understand that my obligations under this Agreement will continue in accordance with
its express terms regardless of any changes in my title, position, duties, salary, compensation or benefits or other terms and conditions of employment. I further understand that my obligations under this Agreement will continue following the
termination of my employment

 
regardless of the manner of such termination and will be binding upon my heirs, executors and administrators. The Company will have the right to assign this Agreement to its affiliates,
successors and assigns. I expressly consent to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate to whose employ I may be transferred without the necessity that this Agreement be
resigned at the time of such transfer. 
 15. Disclosure to Future Employers. I will provide a copy of this Agreement to any
prospective employer, partner or co-venturer prior to entering into an employment, partnership or other business relationship with such person or entity. 

16. Severability. In case any provisions (or portions thereof) contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained herein. If, moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and
reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear. 
 17. Protected
Disclosures. I understand that nothing contained in this Agreement limits my ability to communicate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission, including to provide documents or other information, without
notice to the Company. I also understand that nothing in this Agreement limits my ability to share compensation information concerning myself or others, except that this does not permit me to disclose compensation information concerning others that
I obtain because my job responsibilities require or allow access to such information. 
 18. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. I
understand that pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, I shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a
federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a
lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. 
 19. Interpretation. This Agreement will be deemed to be made
and entered into in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and will in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I hereby agree to consent to personal jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts situated within Suffolk County, Massachusetts for purposes of enforcing this Agreement, and waive any objection that I might have to personal jurisdiction or venue in those courts.

 

 I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AGREEMENT AFFECTS IMPORTANT RIGHTS. BY SIGNING BELOW, I CERTIFY THAT I
HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY AND AM SATISFIED THAT I UNDERSTAND IT COMPLETELY. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this
agreement as a sealed instrument as of the date set forth below.
