 Exhibit 10.10 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of September 2, 2021 between
Renovacor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [                ] (“Indemnitee”). 

WITNESSETH THAT: 

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors, officers or in other capacities unless
they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation; 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain
qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance
has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may not be available to it on terms that the
Company considers to be commercially reasonable or, if available to it on commercially reasonable terms during some period of time, may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors,
officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only
against the Company or business enterprise itself. The Amended and Restated Bylaws and Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Certificate of
Incorporation”) of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(“DGCL”). The Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the
Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification; 
 WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating
to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons; 
 WHEREAS, the
Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased
certainty of such protection in the future; 
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to
obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

  
 1 

 WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Bylaws and
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation and
insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as a director or officer without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve
and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified; 
 WHEREAS,
Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by Indemnitee’s employer or other third parties and certain of their affiliates which is intended to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to
indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the Company’s acknowledgement and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Board; and 

WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 13 hereof. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve or continue to serve, as applicable, as a director or officer
of the Company from and after the date hereof, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Indemnity
of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the
generality thereof: 
 (a) Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the
rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(a) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding other than a Proceeding by
or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other
charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such
Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
 (b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee
shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding
brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on

  
 2 

 
Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged to be
liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or such other court in which the Proceeding is properly brought) shall determine that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification. 
 (c) Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the maximum extent
permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 1(c) and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by
dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 
 (d) Partial
Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify
Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
 2. Additional Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to
any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including
a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company), including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee. The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations
pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to
be unlawful. 
 3. Contribution. 

(a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending
or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any
judgment, penalty, fine, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement of such Proceeding and/or 

  
 3 

 
amounts paid or to be paid for Expenses without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against
Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all
claims asserted against Indemnitee. 
 (b) Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in
Section 3(a) above, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment, penalty, fine or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding and/or Expenses in
which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who
are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from which such Proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion
determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are
jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted in such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or settlement
amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or
advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive. 
 (c) To
the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors, or employees of the Company, other than
Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee. 
 (d) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification
provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes,
amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses actually and reasonably incurred, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all
of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding and/or (ii) the relative fault
of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s). 

  
 4 

 4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness, deponent, interviewee, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. 

5. Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by
or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or
advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any
references to legal work performed or to expenditure made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice). Such statement or statements shall include or be preceded or accompanied
by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Advances shall be made without regard to
Indemnitee’s ability to repay Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this
Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free. This Section 5 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 9. 

6. Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for
Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under applicable law, including, without limitation, the DGCL and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and
presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement: 
 (a)
To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to
determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary or other appropriate officer of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise
the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company
from its obligations under this Agreement unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries. The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at
its own Expense. 
 (b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of
Section 6(a) hereof, a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be at the election of the Board: (i) by a
majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than 

  
 5 

 
a quorum, (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) if there are no
Disinterested Directors or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (iv) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the
Company; provided, however, that if there has been a Change in Control, then such determination shall be made by Independent Counsel. 
 (c)
If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this
Section 6(c). Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board and written notice of such selection shall be given to Indemnitee. Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection of
Independent Counsel shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet
the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely
objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of
competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no
Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have
been made by Indemnitee to the Board’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to
whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by
such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Company and the Indemnitee incident to the procedures of this
Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. 
 (d) In
making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome
this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or
Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 

  
 6 

 (e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Bylaws and Certificate
of Incorporation, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the
officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or
other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 6(e) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining
the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a
manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. 

(f) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, including the Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material
fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such
sixty (60) day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires
such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(f) shall not apply if the determination of
entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination,
the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration thereof at the next annual meeting of the stockholders to be held within seventy five (75) days after
such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within
sixty (60) days after having been so called and at which such determination is made. 
 (g) Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with
the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is
not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and
in good faith in making a determination regarding Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a
determination regarding the 

  
 7 

 
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so
cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
 (h) In the event that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than
by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such Proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such
Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. 

(i) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in
a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 

7. Remedies of Indemnitee. 

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made
pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 1(c),
1(e), 4 or the last sentence of Section 6(g) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to
Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 2 of this Agreement within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to
Section 6 of this Agreement, or (vi) the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding
designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of
competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right
to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 7(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of any proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under
Section 1(c) of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication. 

  
 8 

 (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to
Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any Proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the
merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b). 
 (c)
If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any Proceeding commenced pursuant to
this Section 7, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the
application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 
 (d) In the event that
Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on Indemnitee’s behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 13 of this
Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery. 

(e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any Proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. It is the intent of the Company that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and
expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Indemnitee hereunder. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days
after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or
advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, if, in the case of indemnification, Indemnitee is wholly successful on the
underlying claims; if Indemnitee is not wholly successful on the underlying claims, then such indemnification shall be only to the extent Indemnitee is successful on such underlying claims or otherwise as permitted by law, whichever is greater. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement
shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding. 

  
 9 

 8. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights;
Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation. 
 (a) The rights of indemnification and the right to receive advancement of
Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, a
resolution of directors of the Company, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by
such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the DGCL, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of expenses than
would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy
herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 

(b) To the extent that the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries maintain an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance
for directors, officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person serves at the request
of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies. If,
at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such
Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 
 (c) The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to
indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Indemnitee’s employer or other third parties and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that
it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee
are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally
permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Other
Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The
Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors
shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Other Indemnitors are express third
party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(c). 

  
 10 

 (d) Except as provided in Section 8(c) above, in the event of any
payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (other than against the Other Indemnitors), who shall execute all papers required and take all action
necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 

(e) Except as provided in Section 8(c) above, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any
payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise and has no obligation to return or repay such funds.

 (f) Except as provided in Section 8(c) above, the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses
hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The
Company shall not adopt any amendment to the Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation, the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement. 

9. Exception to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under
this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee: 
 (a) for which payment has actually been made
to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, provided, that the foregoing shall not
affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Other Indemnitors set forth in Section 8(c) above; or 
 (b) for
(i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by the Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by the Indemnitee

(the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) or (iii) any reimbursement of the
Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange
listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; or 

  
 11 

 (c) except as provided in Section 7(e) of this Agreement, in
connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees,
unless (i) the Proceeding or part of any Proceeding is to enforce Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, including a Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated pursuant to
Section 7 of this Agreement, (ii) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (iii) such payment arises in connection with any mandatory counterclaim or cross claim
brought or raised by Indemnitee in any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) or (iv) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law. 

10. Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue until the later of:
(a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee ceased to serve as a director of the Company (or ceased to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of
indemnification or advancement hereunder, or any Proceeding commenced under Section 7 hereof, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or not Indemnitee is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time
any liability or Expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including
any direct or indirect successor by reorganization, purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business, stock or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.

 11. Security. To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time

prior written consent of Indemnitee.

order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company. 

(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto, including any predecessor of the Company, with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

  
 12 

 (c) The Company shall not seek from a court, or agree to, a “bar order” which

Incumbent Board), or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or
such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one

such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the
Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all

(h) “Voting Securities” means any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors. 

14. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision. Further, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof as to Indemnitee shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any provision hereof as to the other. Without limiting the generality of the

  
 14 

 
foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. In the event any provision hereof conflicts with any
applicable law, such provision shall be deemed modified, consistent with the aforementioned intent, to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict. 

15. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed
in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 16. Notice By Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with or otherwise
receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve
the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company. 

17. Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
effectively given (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day,

 Exhibit 10.11 

FORM OF 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT1 
 This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made, entered into by
and between Renovacor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [EXECUTIVE NAME] (the “Executive”), dated [DATE]. 

WHEREAS, the Executive possesses certain experience and expertise that qualifies him to provide the direction and leadership required by the
Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive as a senior executive of the Company and the Executive wishes to accept
such employment; 
 WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Executive has executed the Company’s standard
Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (the “Inventions Agreement”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and the Executive agree as follows: 
 1. Position
and Duties. 
 (a) Effective as of [date] (the “Effective Date”), the Executive will become employed by the Company, on
a full-time basis, as its [position], and will report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, subject to the specific direction of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). 

(b) The Executive agrees to perform the duties of [his or her] position and such other duties as may reasonably be assigned to the Executive
from time to time. The Executive also agrees that, while employed by the Company, [he or she] will devote [his or her] full business time and [his or her] best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge exclusively to the advancement of the
business interests of the Company and its Affiliates and to the discharge of [his or her] duties and responsibilities for them, provided that nothing in this subsection (b) shall prevent the Executive from engaging in additional activities in
connection with personal investments and community affairs, including, without limitation, serving on civic or charitable boards, so long as such activities do not, individually or in the aggregate, violate Section 3 of this Agreement, or
materially interfere with the Executive’s duties under this Agreement. 
 (c) The Executive agrees that, while employed by the Company,
[he or she] will comply with all Company policies, practices and procedures and all codes of ethics or business conduct applicable to [his or her] position, as in effect from time to time. 

(d) The Executive’s principal office, and principal place of employment, shall be [in the Company’s headquarters in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania], subject to reasonable business travel requirements. 
  

	1 	 NTD: Additional changes would be required if this agreement supersedes and replaces any prior employment
agreement with the company. 

 2. Compensation and Benefits. During the Executive’s employment hereunder, as
compensation for all services performed by the Executive for the Company and its Affiliates, the Company will provide the Executive the following compensation and benefits: 

(a) Base Salary. The Company will pay the Executive a base salary at the rate of $[AMOUNT] per year, payable in accordance with the
regular payroll practices of the Company and subject to increase from time to time by the Board in its sole discretion (as may be increased, from time to time, the “Base Salary”). 

(b) Bonuses; Additional Compensation.2 The Executive will be eligible
to receive bonuses and awards of equity and non-equity compensation and to participate in annual and long-term compensation plans of the Company in accordance with any plan or decision that the Board may in
its sole discretion determine from time to time consistent with the executive compensation program established by the Board for the Company’s senior executives. Unless the Board determines otherwise (which discretion shall not reduce the target
bonus percentage of Base Salary), the Executive’s target annual cash bonus shall equal [XX]% of Base Salary. The actual amount of the annual cash bonus earned will be determined by the Board based on performance against goals as established by
the Board in its discretion, which may include Company and/or individual financial, strategic, and other goals and milestones. The annual cash bonus, to the extent earned, will be paid at the time determined under the annual cash program established
for the year, generally expected to be no later than the 15th day of the third month after the end of the applicable fiscal year. 
 (c)
Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. The Executive will be eligible, consistent with applicable tax rules, to participate in all employee benefit plans from time to time in effect for employees of the Company generally, except to the
extent such plans are duplicative of benefits otherwise provided to the Executive under this Agreement (e.g., a severance pay plan). The Executive’s participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally
applicable Company policies, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and any other restrictions or limitations imposed by law. The Company may at any time amend or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time. 

(d) Vacations. In addition to holidays observed by the Company, the Executive will be entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation leave
in accordance with the applicable policies of the Company and its Affiliates as in effect from time to time. Vacation may be taken at such times and intervals as the Executive shall determine, subject to the business needs of the Company. 

 

	2 	 NTD: Add provisions as necessary for any sign-on compensation
for new hires or other special compensation arrangements. 

  
 2 

 (e) Business Expenses. The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for all
reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by the Executive in the performance of [his or her] duties and responsibilities for the Company, subject to Company travel policies approved by the Board, including any maximum annual limit and other
restrictions on such expenses and such reasonable substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Company from time to time. The Executive’s right to payment or reimbursement hereunder shall be subject to the following additional
rules: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for payment or reimbursement during any calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other calendar year, (ii) payment or reimbursement shall be made
not later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense or payment was incurred and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

 (f) Withholding/Taxes. All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be reduced by any tax or other amounts
required to be withheld by the Company to the extent required by applicable law. The Executive shall be solely responsible for any and all taxes that may result from any payment or benefit provided to Executive under this Agreement. 

3. Confidential Information and Restricted Activities. 

(a) Confidential Information. During the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates, the Executive
has learned and will continue to learn of Confidential Information, and has developed and will continue to develop Confidential Information on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that [he or she] will not use or disclose
to any Person (except as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of [his or her] regular duties and responsibilities for the Company) any Confidential Information obtained by the Executive incident to [his or her] employment or any
other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that this restriction will continue to apply after [his or her] employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination. For the avoidance of doubt,
(i) nothing contained in this Agreement limits, restricts or in any other way affects the Executive’s communicating with any governmental agency or entity, or communicating with any official or staff person of a governmental agency or
entity, concerning matters relevant to such governmental agency or entity and (ii) the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret (y) in confidence to a
federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (z) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a
lawsuit or other proceeding; provided, however, that notwithstanding this immunity from liability, the Executive may be held liable if [he or she] unlawfully accesses trade secrets by unauthorized means. 

(b) Restricted Activities. The Executive agrees that the following restrictions on [his or her] activities during and after [his or her]
employment are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information, trade secrets and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates: 

(i) While the Executive is employed by the Company and during the one-year period following
termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (collectively, the “Restricted Period”), the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or
otherwise, engage in, or undertake any planning to engage in, the business of establishing, marketing, managing and/or operating any business engaged in developing, marketing, selling or otherwise distributing any
BAG-3 technology (the “Business”) anywhere in the world. 

  
 3 

 (ii) During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit
for hiring or engagement, hire, or engage any employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or seek to persuade any such employee or independent contractor to discontinue or modify [his or her], [his or her] or its
relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates, provided that (a) the Executive shall not be restricted from making a general solicitation for employees or independent contractors that is not directed at any such person and
(b) nothing in this Section 3(b)(ii) will prohibit the solicitation or hiring of any individual who is no longer employed by the Company or its Affiliates at the time of such solicitation or hiring and has not been so employed during the
six (6)-month period prior to such solicitation or hiring. 
 (iii) During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or
indirectly, in any way intentionally interfere with the relationship between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any customer, distributor, vendor or business partner, or prospective customer, distributor, vendor or business partner, of the
Company or any of its Affiliates, provided that soliciting or engaging in business with the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ customers, distributors, vendors or business partners in connection with business permitted during the
Restricted Period under Section 3(b)(i) shall not be deemed to violate this Section 3(b)(iii) solely by reason thereof. This Section 3(b)(iii) shall in no way limit the provisions of Section 3(b)(i). 

(c) Subject to applicable law, while the Executive is employed by the Company and thereafter, the Executive agrees that [he or she] will not
disparage the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the Company agrees that it shall direct its Chief Executive Officer and members of the Board to not disparage the Executive to any third parties. 

(d) In signing this Agreement, the Executive gives the Company assurance that the Executive has carefully read and considered all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed on the Executive under this Section 3. The Executive agrees without reservation that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its
Affiliates, and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area, and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement without the covenants set forth in this
Section 3. The Executive further agrees that, were the Executive to breach any of the covenants contained in this Section 3, the damage to the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparable. The Executive therefore agrees that the
Company, in addition and not in the alternative to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any such covenants, without
having to post bond, together with an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the Executive has, in fact, breached [his or her] obligations
hereunder and thus deems the Company the prevailing party in any such action. The Executive further agrees that the Restricted Period, as applicable, shall be tolled, and shall not run, during the period of any breach by the Executive of any of the
covenants contained in this Section 3. The Executive and the Company further agree that, in the event that any provision of this Section 3 is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being

  
 4 

 
extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, that provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent
permitted by law. It is also agreed that each of the Company’s Affiliates shall have the right to enforce all of the Executive’s obligations to that Affiliate under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this
Section 3. No claimed breach of this Agreement or other violation of law attributed to the Company or any of its Affiliates, or change in the nature or scope of the Executive’s employment or other relationship with the Company or any of
its Affiliates, shall operate to excuse the Executive from the performance of [his or her] obligations under this Section 3. 
 4.
Termination of Employment. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall continue until terminated pursuant to this Section 4. 

(a) By the Company For Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause upon notice to the Executive setting
forth in reasonable detail the nature of the Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, as determined by the Board in its reasonable judgment: (i) the Executive’s
material failure to perform (other than by reason of disability), or substantial negligence in the performance of, the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or any of its Affiliates; (ii) the Executive’s material
breach of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Executive and the Company or any of its Affiliates; (iii) the Executive’s commission of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; or
(iv) other conduct by the Executive that is or could reasonably be expected to be materially harmful to the business interests or reputation of the Company or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall provide the
Executive with a notice of termination with respect to any termination for Cause under Section 4(a)(i), (ii) and (iv), and, if the conduct giving rise to a termination for Cause is reasonably capable of cure, such notice shall provide a cure
period of thirty (30) calendar days for the Executive to cure any defect or failure, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide offer the Executive the opportunity to cure conduct giving rise to a termination for
Cause on more than one occasion. 
 (b) By the Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any
time other than for Cause upon notice to the Executive. 
 (c) By the Executive Without Good Reason. The Executive may terminate [his
or her] employment at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Company. The Board may elect to waive such notice period or any portion thereof. 

(d) Termination by the Executive With Good Reason. The Executive may resign from employment under this Agreement for Good Reason. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events (without Executive’s consent) that occurs during a Protected Period; 

  
 5 

 (i) a material adverse change in Executive’s functions, duties or responsibilities
with the Company which change would cause Executive’s position to become one of materially lesser responsibility, importance, or scope; 

(ii) transfer of the Company’s principal work location to a location substantially outside of the greater Boston metropolitan area; 

(iii) a material diminution in the Executive’s compensation or benefits without the express written consent of the Executive, other than
an across-the-board reduction in compensation levels that applies to all senior executives generally; or 

(iv) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such event shall constitute “Good Reason” unless (a) Executive shall have given written
notice of such events to the Company within 60 days after the initial occurrence thereof, (b) the Company shall have failed to cure the condition constituting Good Reason within 30 days following the delivery of such notice (or such longer cure
period as may be agreed upon by the parties), and (c) Executive terminates employment within 30 days after expiration of such cure period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall not have the right to resign for Good Reason for any
event listed above that occurs outside of a Protected Period. 
 (e) Death and Disability. The Executive’s employment hereunder
shall automatically terminate in the event of the Executive’s death during employment. Subject to applicable state and federal law, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment, upon notice to the Executive, in the event that the
Executive becomes disabled during [his or her] employment hereunder through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result, is unable to perform substantially all of [his or her] duties and
responsibilities hereunder (notwithstanding the provision of any reasonable accommodation) for a non-consecutive one hundred eighty (180) days during any period of three hundred sixty-five
(365) consecutive days. If any question shall arise as to whether the Executive is disabled to the extent that [he or she] is unable to perform substantially all of [his or her] duties and responsibilities for the Company and its Affiliates,
the Executive shall, at the Company’s request, submit to a medical examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian, if any, has no reasonable objection to determine whether the Executive
is so disabled, and such determination shall for purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. If such a question arises and the Executive fails to submit to the requested medical examination, the Board’s good faith determination of
the issue shall be binding on the Executive solely for purposes of this Agreement. 
 5. Other Matters Related to Termination. 

(a) Final Compensation. In the event of termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, howsoever occurring, the
Company shall pay the Executive (i) the Base Salary for the final payroll period of [his or her] employment, through the date [his or her] employment terminates, including any accrued but unused vacation time, and (ii) reimbursement, in
accordance with Section 2(e) hereof, for business expenses incurred by the Executive but not yet paid to the Executive as of the date [his or her] employment terminates, provided that the Executive submits all expenses and supporting
documentation required within thirty (30) days of the date [his or her] employment terminates, and provided further that such expenses are reimbursable under Company policies then in effect (all of the foregoing, “Final
Compensation”). Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(a)(ii), Final Compensation will be 

  
 6 

 
paid to the Executive within thirty (30) days following the date of termination or such earlier time as may be required by law. In addition, in case of termination of employment for any
reason other than by action of the Company for Cause or by action of the Executive without Good Reason, Final Compensation shall include the amount of any earned bonus from the previous calendar year that has not been paid, which will be paid to the
Executive within thirty (30) days following the date of termination. Vesting of outstanding equity awards or other long-term incentives in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment shall be governed by the terms of the
applicable incentive plan and award agreements. 
 (b) Severance Payments Outside of a Protected Period. In the event of any
termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4(b) above other than during a Protected Period, the Company will pay the Executive, in addition to Final Compensation, the following amounts: (i) the Base Salary for a
period of [NUMBER] months following the date of termination (the “Severance Payments”); (ii) a cash bonus for the year of termination equal to the target bonus for the year, prorated based on the number of days in the year through
the termination date (the “Pro-Rated Bonus”); and (iii) a cash lump-sum payment equal to [NUMBER] times the amount of one month of COBRA premiums
based on the terms of Company’s group health plan and the Executive’s coverage under such plan as of the termination date (regardless of any COBRA election actually made by the Executive or the actual COBRA coverage period under the
Company’s group health plan) (the “COBRA Payment”). 
 (c) Severance Payments During a Protected Period. In the
event of any termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4(b) or 4(d) above during a Protected Period, the Company will pay the Executive, in addition to Final Compensation, the amounts provided in Section 5(b),
except that (i) the Severance Payments shall be based on [NUMBER] months of Base Salary and shall be payable in a single cash payment as provided in Section 5(d), and (ii) the COBRA Payment shall be based on [NUMBER] months of COBRA
premiums. 
 (d) Conditions To And Timing Of Severance Payments. Any obligation of the Company to provide the Executive the Severance
Payments and the COBRA Payment is conditioned on [his or her] signing and returning, without revoking, to the Company a timely and effective separation agreement containing a general release of claims and other customary terms (including standard
carve-outs from the release, such as for vested benefits and indemnification claims) in the form provided to the Executive by the Company at the time that the Executive’s employment terminates (the “Separation Agreement”). The
Separation Agreement must become effective, if at all, by the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the date the Executive’s employment terminates. Any Severance Payments to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5(b) will be
payable in the form of salary continuation in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company. The first installment of the Severance Payments will be made on the Company’s next regular payday following the expiration of sixty
(60) calendar days from the date that the Executive’s employment terminates, but will be retroactive to the day following such date of termination. The Pro-Rated Bonus, the COBRA Payment, and any
Severance Payments to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5(c) will be made in a single cash payment on the Company’s next regular payday following the expiration of sixty (60) calendar days from the date that the
Executive’s employment terminates (and in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the termination of employment occurs). 

  
 7 

 (e) Benefits Termination. Except for any right the Executive may have under the
federal law known as “COBRA” or other applicable law to continue participation in the Company’s group health and dental plans at [his or her] cost, the Executive’s participation in all employee benefit plans shall terminate in
accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plans based on the date of termination of [his or her] employment, without regard to any payment to the Executive following termination of [his or her] employment, and the Executive shall not be
eligible to earn vacation or other paid time off following the termination of [his or her] employment. 
 (f) Return of Property. Upon
any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, the Executive shall immediately either destroy or deliver to the Company at the direction of the Company (i) all physical, computerized, electronic or other types of records,
documents, proposals, notes, lists, files and any and all other materials, including computerized and electronic information (in hard copy, in e-mails, or on removable or other drives or media), that refers,
relates or otherwise pertains to the Company or any Affiliate (or business dealings thereof) that are in the Executive’s possession, subject to the Executive’s control or held by the Executive for others; and (ii) all property or
equipment that the Executive has been issued by the Company or any Affiliate during the course of [his or her] employment or property or equipment thereof that the Executive otherwise possesses, including any computers, cellular phones, PDAs, pagers
and other devices. The Executive acknowledges that [he or she] is not authorized to retain or use any physical, computerized, electronic or other types of copies of any such physical, computerized, electronic or other types of records, documents,
proposals, notes, lists, files or materials, and is not authorized to retain any other property or equipment of the Company or any Affiliate. The Executive further agrees that the Executive will immediately forward to the Company (and thereafter use
reasonable efforts to destroy any hard copy and electronic copies thereof) any business information relating to the Company or any Affiliate that has been or is inadvertently directed to the Executive following the Executive’s last day of
employment. 
 (g) Mitigation Not Required. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit which
is to be paid or provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 5. Any remuneration received by the Executive from a third party following termination of employment shall not apply to reduce the Company’s obligations to make payments or
provide benefits hereunder. 
 (h) D&O Insurance, and Indemnification. Through at least the sixth anniversary of the
Executive’s termination date, the Company shall maintain coverage for the Executive as a named insured on all directors’ and officers’ insurance maintained by the Company for the benefit of its directors and officers on at least the
same basis as all other covered individuals and provide the Executive with at least the same corporate indemnification as it provides to other senior executives. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall supersede any rights that
the Executive may have to indemnification under the Company’s charter or bylaws. 
 (i) Survival. Provisions of this Agreement
shall survive any termination of employment if so provided in this Agreement or if necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of other surviving provisions, including without limitation certain of the Executive’s obligations under
Section 3 of this Agreement. The obligation of the Company to make payments to the Executive under Section 5(b), and the Executive’s right to retain the same, are expressly conditioned upon [his or her] continued full performance of
[his or her] obligations under Section 3 of this Agreement. Upon termination by either the Executive or the Company, all rights, duties and obligations of the Executive and the Company to each other hereunder shall cease, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement.

 6. Timing of Payments and Section 409A. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at the time the Executive’s employment terminates, the Executive is a
“specified employee,” as defined below, any and all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of such separation from service that would (but for this provision) be payable within six (6) months following the date of
termination, shall instead be paid on the next business day following the expiration of such six (6)-month period or, if earlier, upon the Executive’s death; except (A) to the extent of amounts that do not constitute a deferral of
compensation within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) (including without limitation by reason of the safe harbor set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), as determined by the Company in its reasonable good faith discretion); (B) benefits which qualify as excepted welfare benefits pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5); or (C) other amounts or benefits that are not subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, all references to “termination of employment” and correlative phrases shall be construed to
require a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury regulations after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein), and the term “specified
employee” means an individual determined by the Company to be a specified employee under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). 

(c) Each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this
Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. 
 (d) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company does not
guarantee the tax treatment or tax consequences associated with any payment arising under this Agreement, including but not limited to consequences related to Section 409A of the Code. In no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates have
any liability relating to the failure or alleged failure of any payment or benefit under this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

7. Adjustments to Payments. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the
Company to the Executive or for the Executive’s benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed
by Section 4999 (or any successor provisions) of the Code, or any interest or penalty is incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, is hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent that such reduction would result in the Executive retaining a larger amount, on an
after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income 

  
 9 

 
taxes and the imposition of the Excise Tax), than if the Executive received all of the Payments. The Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments, by first reducing or eliminating the portion
of the Payments which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the determination. 

(b) All determinations required to be made under this Section, including whether and when an adjustment to any Payments is required and, if
applicable, which Payments are to be so adjusted, shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company from among the four (4) largest accounting firms in the United States or any nationally recognized financial planning and
benefits consulting company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and to the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive
that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the “change in control of the
Company” (within the meaning of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code) to which the Payments relate, Employer shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall
then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the
Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive’s applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall
be binding upon the Company and the Executive. 
 8. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply:

 “Affiliates” means the Company and all persons and entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the Company, where control may be by management authority, equity interest or otherwise.

Control and ending on the second anniversary of that date. 
 9. Prior Employment or Engagements. The Executive represents and
warrants to the Company that the Executive is under no contractual obligation to refrain from working for a competitor of any prior employer or other party. Nonetheless, during any prior employment or consulting engagement, the Executive may have
had access to trade secrets or proprietary information of another party that may continue to be of value to such other party. That information remains the property of such other party. Consequently, the Executive shall not disclose any other
party’s trade secrets or proprietary information to anyone within the Company, or use those trade secrets or proprietary information in the course of performing services on behalf of the Company. 

10. Severability. If any portion or provision 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. 
 11. Assignment. Neither the
Executive nor the Company may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest in it, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, the Company may assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement without the Executive’s consent to one of its Affiliates or to any Person with whom the Company shall hereafter effect a reorganization, consolidate or merge, or to whom the Company shall hereafter transfer all
or substantially all of its properties or assets. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Executive and the Company, and each of their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. 

12. Notices. Any and all notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and

books of the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its principal place of business, to the attention of the Board of Directors, or to such other address as any Party may specify by notice to the other actually received. 

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Inventions Agreement are the sole agreements between Executive and the Company with respect
to Executive’s employment with the Company and the services to be performed hereunder and supersede all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such employment and services, whether oral or written. All of the terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, except that the duties and
responsibilities of Executive hereunder are of a personal nature and shall not be assignable or delegable in whole or in part by Executive. 

14. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by the Company, with
approval of the Board. 

  
 11 

 15. Headings. The headings and captions in this Agreement are for convenience only,
and in no way define or describe the scope or content of any provision of this Agreement. 
 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be

(IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT [HE OR SHE] HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE COMPANY THAT THIS SECTION 18 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH
THE COMPANY IS RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 18 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY. EXECUTIVE VOLUNTARILY MAKES THIS WAIVER WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF ITS EFFECT AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT [HE OR SHE] REMAINS ABLE TO FULLY VINDICATE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS.
