Agreement

 

In consideration of
the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                 
Employment by the Company.

 

1.1             
Position; Duties; Location. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive shall hold the position
of Executive Vice President, Chief Scientific Officer. Executive’s activities shall be as directed by the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and its Board of Directors (the “Board”)
and shall include such duties and activities as typically associated with Executive’s position, and as otherwise may be assigned
to Executive from time to time. The Company reserves the right to change or modify Executive’s title and/or duties as business
needs may require. Executive shall devote Executive’s business energies, interest, abilities and productive time to the proper
and efficient performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement. Executive shall report to the Board and shall work
primarily from New York City and/or Birmingham, AL, provided that the Company reserves the right to require business travel.

 

1.2             
Policies and Procedures. The employment relationship between the parties shall be governed by this Agreement and by
the policies and practices established by the Board. In the event that the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict
with the Company’s policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

 

1.3              Exclusive
Employment; Agreement not to Participate in Company’s Competitors. Except with the prior written consent of the
Board, Executive will not, during the period of employment by the Company, undertake or engage in any other employment, or
directly or indirectly, undertake or engage in any employment, directorships, occupation, or business activity that competes
with directly or indirectly, or is known by Executive to be adverse or antagonistic to the business, prospective business, or
financial or other interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the above, Executive may continue to hold his current
non-administrative academic appointment at the University of Alabama at Birmingham provided such position does not interfere
with Executive’s job duties for the Company. Executive may further hold other non-tenured, non-administrative academic
appointments as visiting professor, professor emeritus, or a similar position at other research institutions mutually agreed
upon by the Company and the Executive, provided such position does not interfere with Executive’s job duties for the
Company.

 

    1 

     

    

 

1.4             
Start Date. Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement commenced on January 1, 2019 (the
 “Start Date”).

 

2.                 
At-Will Employment.

 

Executive’s employment
relationship with the Company is, and shall at all times remain, at-will. This means that either Executive or the Company may terminate
the employment relationship at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with or without cause or advance notice.

 

3.                 
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

 

3.1             
Salary. Beginning on the Effective Date, Executive shall earn a base salary of $240,000 per annum, less payroll deductions
and all required withholdings (the “Base Salary”). The Company shall increase the Base Salary to the
then fair-market compensation of a similar role in a company of a similar stage as determined solely by the Board less payroll
deductions and all required withholdings, payable in regular periodic payments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
practices following the pricing of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock and listing thereof on the Nasdaq
Stock Market or New York Stock Exchange (or their constituent exchanges) (such event referred to as the “completion of an
IPO”). The Base Salary shall be prorated for any partial year of employment on the basis of a 365-day year. The Base Salary
may be adjusted from time to time in the Company’s discretion.

 

3.2             
Performance Bonus. Each full calendar year, Executive will be eligible to earn an additional bonus (in the form of cash
or equity, at the Company’s sole discretion) based on the Board’s assessment of Executive’s individual performance
and overall Company performance. In order to earn and receive the bonus, Executive must remain employed by the Company through
and including the bonus payout date, which will be on or before March 15th of the year following the year to which it relates.
The determination of whether Executive has earned a bonus and the amount thereof shall be determined by the Board (and/or a committee
thereof) in its sole and absolute discretion. The Company reserves the right to modify the bonus criteria and targets from year
to year.

 

3.3              Stock
Options. Subject to approval by the Board, the Company anticipates granting Executive options to purchase an aggregate of
approximately 401,936 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represents approximately 2.5% of the shares
outstanding as of the close of the Qualified Series A financing, with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market
value per share determined by the Board as of the date of grant (the “Option”). The Option will be issued
pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and a stock option agreement, and will
include both time-based and milestone vesting as follows: (A) the time-based vesting portion of the Option will apply to
160,775 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Tenure Option”), which will have a four-year vesting
schedule, under which 25% of the shares subject to the Tenure Option will vest 12 months after the vesting commencement date,
and 1/48th of the shares subject to the Tenure Option will vest at the end of each month thereafter; and (B) the
milestone-based portion of the Option will apply to 241,161 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Milestone
Option”), subject to Employee remaining a Service Provider, as defined by the Plan, as of the date of vesting of the
applicable portion of the Milestone Option, (i) 60,290 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Milestone
Option (~15% of the option grant) will vest on the date six (6) months after the completion of an IPO, (ii) 90,435 shares of
the Company’s common stock subject to the Milestone Option (~22.5% of the option grant) will vest vest upon the
initiation of a Phase I trial of the Company’s gamma-delta (γδ) T cell immunotherapy program in combination
with a checkpoint inhibitor therapy for the treatment of glioblastoma, and (iii) 90,435 shares of the Company’s common
stock subject to the Milestone Option (~22.5% of the option grant) will vest upon the initiation of a Phase I trial of the
Company’s gamma-delta (y8) T cell immunotherapy for an indication other than those that have been submitted to the Food
and Drug Administration as of the date of this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, are (a) treatment of leukemia
and lymphoma patients undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplantation and (b) glioblastoma). No right to any common stock
or any portion of the Option shall be deemed to be earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does this grant
confer any right to continued vesting of the Option or employment with the Company.

 

    2 

     

    

 

3.4             
Standard Company Benefits. Executive shall, in accordance with Company policy and the terms of the applicable plan documents,
be eligible to participate in benefits under any benefit plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time and made available
to similarly situated Company employees. The Company shall pay 100% of the premium associated with group health insurance for Executive
as an individual, and 75% of the premium associated with group health insurance for Executive’s dependents, if applicable.
The Company reserves the right to modify, add or eliminate benefits from time to time.

 

3.5             
Expense Reimbursements. The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses Executive incurs in
conducting his duties hereunder, pursuant to the Company’s usual expense reimbursement practices.

 

4.                 
Proprietary Information Obligations.

 

As a condition of employment,
Executive agrees to execute and abide by the Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement to be executed
of even date herewith (the “CIIAA”).

 

5.                 
Termination of Employment.

 

5.1             
Executive’s Resignation For Any Reason. If (a) Executive resigns from employment with the Company for any reason,
the Company shall pay Executive any earned but unpaid base salary accrued through the date of termination and all accrued but unused
vacation, at the rates then in effect, less standard deductions and withholdings. The Company shall thereafter have no further
obligations to Executive, except as may otherwise be required by law.

 

5.2              Termination
Without Cause. If, following the final closing of the Qualified Series A Financing, Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Company without Cause, then the Company shall pay Executive any earned but unpaid base salary accrued
through the date of termination and all accrued but unused vacation, at the rates then in effect, less standard deductions
and withholdings. In addition, subject to Section 5.6, Executive shall receive the following (the “Severance
Benefits”):

 

    3 

     

    

 

(a)              
The Company shall pay Executive, as severance, an amount equal to three months of Base Salary at the time of termination;
provided, that Executive has complied with Section 5.6 below and is not otherwise in breach of the CIIAA, provided, however, that
such severance amount will be six months (instead of three months) after the Company completion of an IPO. The amount specified
in this Section 5.2(a) shall be paid to Executive: (i) if termination occurs prior to the completion of an IPO, in three equal
monthly installments, or (jj) if termination occurs after completion of an IPO, in six equal monthly installments, in either case
beginning ten days following the effective date of the Release and will be subject to any required withholdings.

 

(b)             
Vesting of Executive’s then-outstanding, unvested equity will cease as of the end of the last complete month of
service preceding his employment termination date and shall not assume the achievement of any Company or performance based milestones
following Executive’s employment termination date

 

5.3             
Definition of Cause. “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) Executive’s
conviction of any felony or any crime involving fraud or dishonesty; (ii) Executive’s participation in fraud, misrepresentation
of facts, act of dishonesty or act of gross misconduct against the Company and/or its Board that results in material financial
or reputational harm to the Company; (iii) Executive’s material violation of any statutory or fiduciary duty, or duty of
loyalty, owed to the Company and/or its Board; or (iv) Executive’s material violation of material Company policy. Prior to
a termination for Cause pursuant to (iv) above, to the extent such event(s) is capable of being cured by Executive and to the extent
it is the first such instance giving rise to the notice described herein, (A) the Company shall give the Executive a single notice
of such event(s), which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Cause, (B) Executive shall have
thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice to cure the event(s) giving rise to Cause, the existence of such cure to be
determined by the Board, provided that the Company reserves the right put Executive on a paid leave of absence during such period
and terminate Executive’s access to Company systems and property so long as such measures do not substantially interfere
with Executive’s ability to cure the Cause of his termination during the cure period.

 

5.4             
Effect of Termination. Executive agrees that should his employment be terminated for any reason, he shall be deemed
to have resigned from any and all positions, including any director and/or officer positions with the Company and its affiliated
entities.

 

    4 

     

    

 

5.5              Section
409A Compliance. It is intended that any benefits under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the
exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section
409A”), provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement
will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions, and to the extent not so exempt, this
Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A. For purposes of
Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)),
Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, if any, or
otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment
hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Severance benefits shall not commence until the
Executive has a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without
regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “separation from service”). Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of termination to be a “specified
employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if any of the payments set forth herein are deemed to be
 “deferred compensation,” then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in
order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A,
such payments shall not be provided prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the
date of termination, (ii) the date of Executive’s death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A
without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such period, all payments
deferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise
provided herein. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred. Finally, if the period during which Executive may
consider and/sign a release in connection with the receipt of severance benefits spans two calendar years, the payment of
severance will not be made or begin until the later calendar year.

 

5.6             
Release. As a condition precedent to receipt of the Severance Benefits, Executive shall furnish to the Company an executed
waiver and release of claims in a form to be provided by the Company, which shall include confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-disparagement
and non-solicit provisions, and an obligation for Executive to provide reasonable transition assistance and consulting services
to the Company on an as-needed basis through the first anniversary of Executive’s employment termination date (the “Release”)
within the time period specified therein, but in no event later than forty-five days following Executive’s termination. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that such transition services shall be fully compensated by the benefits described herein and the post-termination
payments contemplated under the CIIAA.

 

6.                 
General Provisions.

 

6.1             
Representations and Warranties. Executive represents and warrants that Executive is not restricted or prohibited, contractually
or otherwise, from entering into and performing each of the terms and covenants contained in this Agreement, and that Executive’s
execution and performance of this Agreement will not violate or breach any other agreements between the Executive and any other
person or entity.

 

6.2             
Advertising Waiver. Executive agrees to permit the Company, and persons or other organizations authorized by the Company,
to use, publish and distribute advertising or sales promotional literature concerning the products and/or services of the Company
in which Executive’s name and/or pictures of Executive appear. Executive hereby waives and releases any claim or right Executive
may otherwise have arising out of such use, publication or distribution.

 

6.3             
D&O Insurance. Executive shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company pursuant to, and in accordance with
the terms of, (i) the Company’s charter and bylaws, to the extent that indemnification of Executive is provided for therein,
and (ii) any D&O insurance policy covering Executive purchased by the Company.

 

    5 

     

    

 

6.4             
 Disputes.

 

(a)              
Equitable and Legal Relief. Either Party may seek equitable and legal relief in the event of a breach
or threatened breach by the other Party of its obligations under this Agreement, subject to the prior satisfaction of Sections
(b)-(d) hereof.

 

(b)             
Internal Resolution. In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or to a
breach thereof, including its interpretation, performance or termination, the Parties shall try to settle such conflicts amicably
between themselves prior to undertaking any other legal or equitable relief.

 

(c)              
Mediation. In the event the Parties are still unable to resolve the dispute following attempt(s) at internal
resolution, the dispute may then be submitted by a Party to a mediator, mutually agreed to by the Parties, for nonbinding mediation.
The Parties shall cooperate with the mediator in an effort to resolve such dispute.

 

(d)             
Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of its submission to the mediator undertaken
pursuant to Section (c), either Party may submit the dispute for binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by one
(1) arbitrator, to be appointed by mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules
and organization agreed to by the Parties at the time or if no agreement can be reached, by the commercial rules of the American
Arbitration Association, which shall administer the arbitration. The arbitration, including the rendering of the award, shall take
place in the State of New York and shall be the exclusive forum for resolving such dispute. The decision of the arbitrator shall
be final and binding upon the Parties and the expense of the arbitration, including, without limitation, the award of attorneys’
fees to the prevailing Party, shall be paid as the arbitrator determines.

 

6.5              Miscellaneous.
This Agreement, along with the CIIAA, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement
between Executive and the Company with regard to its subject matter. Executive acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement
expressly supersedes and replaces any prior agreements, understandings, or negotiations concerning stock, stock options,
restricted stock, or other Company equity. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or
oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises, warranties or representations,
including, but not limited to the Consulting Agreement, dated January 1, 2018, between Executive and the Company, with the
exception of Sections 4, 5, 6, 11, 15, 16, and 17, which shall remain in effect; and the Advisor Agreement between Employee
and Company dated February 23, 2016, with the exception of Section 2, which shall remain in effect. In addition, the
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 23, 2016 shall remain in full force and effect in its entirety. This
Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by both Executive and a duly authorized member of the
Board. This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both Executive and the
Company, and inure to the benefit of both Executive and the Company, and to his and its heirs, successors and assigns. If any
provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not
affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question will be modified so as to be rendered enforceable.
This Agreement will be deemed to have been entered into and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against either party as the drafter. Any waiver of
a breach of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any successive breach. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts and facsimile signatures will suffice as original signatures.

209 Beacon Falls Court

Cary, NC 27519

 

Dear Melissa:

 

We are delighted to
offer you a position as the Vice President of Clinical Operations for Incysus Therapeutics, Inc. (“Incysus” or “Company”)
in our Birmingham, AL office. The terms of our offer are conditioned on you commencing your employment with us no later than April
I, 2019 (the “Start Date”).

 

I.                   
COMPENSATION

 

A.                 
You will receive a salary at the annualized rate of $208,000.00, less all applicable withholdings and payable in accordance
with current payroll practices in effect. Should the Company make an initial public offering, Incysus will, at that time and in
its sole discretion, increase your annual salary to what is a competitive market rate at that time for companies with a comparable
pre-IPO valuation, structure, and design.

 

B.                 
You will also be eligible to earn an annual discretionary bonus (in the form of cash and/or equity at the Company’
s sole discretion) with a target amount equal to 20% of your base salary. The amount of this bonus will be based, in part, on your
performance and the annual performance of the Company during the calendar year. Any equity and/or option-based compensation will
be subject to time-based and/or milestone-based vesting in addition to other terms and conditions below. The Company will pay you
this bonus, if any, by no later than March 15th of the following calendar year. The bonus is not earned until paid and no pro-rated
amount will be paid if your employment terminates for any reason prior to the payment date.

 

C.                 
Upon your Start Date, subject to the approval of the Incysus Board of Directors, the Company will grant you an option to
purchase 107,354 shares of Company Common Stock at the fair market value as determined by the Board as of the date of grant (the
 “Option”). The anticipated Option grant will be governed by the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2018 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and your grant agreement, and will include time-based vesting, as described below. No right
to any stock or option is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does this grant confer any right to continued
vesting or employment. The terms of this Option grant are as follows: one-fourth 1/4th of the shares vest one year and a day after
the vesting commencement date, and none before such date; the balance of the shares vest in a series of 36 successive equal monthly
installments measured from the day after the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, subject to your continuous service
as of each such date.

 

D.                 
During your employment, you will be eligible to participate in the standard benefits and Paid Time Off plans offered to
similarly situated employees by the Company from time to time, subject to plan terms and generally applicable Company policies.
A full description of these benefits is available upon request. The Company may change compensation and benefits from time to time
in its discretion. You will also be eligible to enroll and participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan as administered by Transamerica
(www.ta-retirement.com).

 

E.                  
The Company will reimburse you for all reasonable business expenses you incur in conducting your duties hereunder, pursuant
to the Company’s usual expense reimbursement policy.

II.                 
 TERMINATION

 

The periodic salary
payments described above do not affect your status as an at-will employee of Incysus. The Company may terminate your employment,
for any reason or no reason at all, without notice or further obligation hereunder. As a Vice President, you are required to provide
at least 60 days’ written notice of your intention to terminate your employment (the “Notice Period”). However,
if, at the time of your termination, your title is other than a Vice President, the amount of notice you are required to give will
be governed by Incysus’ policies in effect at the time. Your fiduciary duties and your obligations to Incysus as an employee
will continue, and you will cooperate in the transition of your responsibilities. Incysus shall have the right, in its sole discretion,
to direct that you no longer come in to the office during the Notice Period or to shorten the Notice Period.

 

III.               
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

 

In connection with
your employment with the Company, you will receive and have access to Company confidential information and trade secrets. Accordingly,
enclosed with this offer letter is an Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement (“CUA”)
which contains restrictive covenants and prohibits unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information
and trade secrets, among other obligations. Please review the CIIA and only sign it after careful consideration.

 

IV.               
CONFIDENTIALITY

 

You agree to keep,
and to instruct any counsel representing you in your negotiations with the Company to keep, this offer letter and its terms strictly
confidential and not to disclose or discuss this offer letter, its terms, or any of the discussions relating to it, with anyone;
provided, however, that you may: (1) discuss this offer letter and its terms with your counsel, immediate family, and financial
and tax advisors; or (2) disclose this offer letter and its terms as mandated by legal process or by law. In addition, you agree
to inform any prospective employer’s General Counsel, Head of Human Resources, or if no such positions exist, your hiring
contact, of your post-employment obligations to Incysus. You agree that prior to disclosing this offer letter or its terms to a
third party, you will advise the third party of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section and instruct the third
party to keep this Offer Letter and its terms strictly confidential.

 

V.                 
PRE-EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS

 

We ask that, if you
have not already done so, you disclose to the Company any and all agreements relating to your prior employment that may affect
your eligibility to be employed by the Company or limit the manner in which you may be employed. It is the Company’s understanding
that any such agreements will not prevent you from performing the duties of your position and you represent that such is the case.
Moreover, you agree that, during the term of your employment with the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, occupation,
consulting, or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved
during the term of your employment, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company.
Similarly, you agree not to bring any third-party confidential information to the Company, including that of your former employer,
and that you will not in any way utilize any such information in performing your duties for the Company.

 

The Company reserves
the right to conduct background investigations and/or reference checks on all of its potential employees. Your job offer, therefore,
is contingent upon a clearance of such a background investigation and/or reference check, if any. You agree to assist as needed
and to complete any documentation at the Company’s request to meet these conditions.

 

For purposes of federal
immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment
in the United States. Such documentation must be provided to us within three (3) business days of your date of hire, or our employment
relationship with you may be terminated.

 ARBITRATION

 

To ensure the timely
and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with your employment with the Company, you and the Company agree
that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, negotiation,
execution, or interpretation of this letter agreement, the PIIA, or your employment, or the termination of your employment, including
but not limited to all statutory claims, will be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16, and to
the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration by a single arbitrator conducted in New York,
New York by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS” ) under the then applicable JAMS
rules (at the following web address: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/); provided, however, this arbitration
provision shall not apply to sexual harassment claims to the extent prohibited by applicable law. A hard copy of the rules will
be provided to you upon request. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both you and the Company waive the right to resolve
any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes
of action under this provision, whether by you or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought
as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with
the claims of any other person or entity. The Arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and
may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class
claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought
on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. The Company acknowledges that you will have the
right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. Questions of whether a claim is subject to arbitration
under this agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear
on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery
for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; (b) issue a written arbitration
decision, to include the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award; and (c) be authorized
to award any or all remedies that you or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law. You and the Company shall equally
share all JAMS’ arbitration fees. Each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees, except as expressly set forth
in your PIIA. Nothing in this letter agreement is intended to prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief
in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations
may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction. To the extent applicable
law prohibits mandatory arbitration of sexual harassment claims, in the event you intend to bring multiple claims, including a
sexual harassment claim, the sexual harassment claim may be publicly filed with a court, while any other claims will remain subject
to mandatory arbitration.

 

VII.            
MISCELLANEOUS

 

This letter, along
with any agreements relating to proprietary rights between you and the Company, constitutes the entire agreement between you and
Incysus with respect to the subject matters referred to herein, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, promises,
covenants, agreements and representations of every kind or nature with respect thereto, all of which have become merged and finally
integrated into this agreement. The provisions in this agreement are severable. Any provisions in this agreement held to be unenforceable
or invalid in any jurisdiction shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this agreement. In addition,
if any provision of this agreement is held to be excessively broad as to degree, 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.

 

If you fail to commence
employment by the Start Date, this offer will become null and void. If the above terms are acceptable to you, we request that you
signify your acceptance of the terms of this letter by signing and dating the copy enclosed and returning it to Incysus.
