Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation, including its successors and assigns, (the “Employer” or “Company”), and Mark S. Shearman (“Executive”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the respective undertakings of Employer and Executive set forth below, Employer and
Executive hereby agree as follows: 
 1.    Employment. Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby
accepts such employment and agrees to perform services for Employer, for the period and on the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee’s Start Date shall be and shall be considered the Effective Date of
this Agreement. 
 2.    Employment at Will. Executive is employed
“at-will” which means that Executive’s employment is not for any defined term and may be terminated by either Executive or the Company at any time, with or without cause, for any or no reason,
subject to the notice provisions herein. 
 3.    Position and Duties. 

3.1    Service with Employer. Employer hereby employs Executive in an executive capacity with the title of Chief
Scientific Officer and Executive hereby accepts such employment and undertakes and agrees to serve in such capacity. Executive shall have such powers, perform such duties and fulfill such responsibilities as are typically associated with such
position in other similarly situated companies and shall report directly to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, 

3.2    Performance of Duties. Executive agrees to: (i) devote substantially all of Executive’s business
time, attention and efforts to the business and affairs of Employer while employed; and (ii) adhere to all Employer’s written employment policies and procedures as shall be in force from time to time. 

3.3    Outside Activities. During the Term, Executive shall not: (i) except as set forth below, accept other
employment; (ii) except as set forth below, render or perform services for compensation to any Person (as hereinafter defined) other than Employer; (iii) serve as an officer or on the board of directors (or similar governing body) of any
entity other than Employer, whether or not for compensation; or (iv) engage in any other business, enterprise or activity that will require any effort on the part of Executive that, in the sole discretion of Employer, could reasonably be
expected to materially detract from the ability of Executive to perform Executive’s duties to Employer pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, Executive may engage in the activities set forth in Schedule A hereto or described in clause
(iii) or (iv) above if prior to engaging in such activity, Executive has disclosed such activity to the Board and received written approval to engage in such activity from the Board. Executive may engage in personal investments without
disclosure to or written approval from the Board provided Executive is not required or expected to serve as a board member, advisor or consultant and Executive shall, at any time, own beneficially 

 
less than 2% of the outstanding securities of any issuer and such personal investment shall not otherwise interfere with Executive’s performance of duties hereunder and/or the provisions of
Executive’s written agreements with Employer. 
 3.4    Executive Representations. Executive represents that
Executive is not subject to any restrictive covenant, confidentiality agreement, or any other agreement that would prevent Executive from accepting employment with Employer, and based on the information provided to Employer by Executive, Employer
accepts such representation. 
 4.    Compensation. 

4.1    Base Salary. Employer shall pay to Executive a base salary for all services to be rendered by Executive
under this Agreement (the “Base Salary”), which Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll schedule, procedures and policies (which schedule, procedures and policies may be modified from time to time) and
subject to applicable deductions as required by law. Employer shall review Executive’s salary on an annual basis and may, in its discretion, consider and declare from time to time increases in the Base Salary that it pays Executive. Any and all
increases in Executive’s salary pursuant to this section shall cause the level of Base Salary to be increased by the amount of each such increase for purposes of this Agreement. The increased level of Base Salary as provided in this section
shall become the level of Base Salary for the remainder of the term of this Agreement unless there is a further increase in Base Salary as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Salary of Executive may be decreased provided it is
done so in proportion to decreases in Base Salary of the entire executive team of the Company. 
 4.2    Annual
Bonus. The Executive will be eligible to participate in the Employer’s annual cash incentive compensation plan on substantially the same terms as other executive officers. Company-wide and individual performance objectives
(“MBOs”) will be established by the Compensation Committee. Target incentives do not constitute a promise of payment and the Executive’s actual bonus, if any, will depend in part on the Employer’s performance and the Compensation
Committee’s discretion in assessing the Executive’s individual performance in relation to his or her MBOs and the overall performance and status of the Company. To qualify for the incentive bonus, the Executive must remain employed with
the Company through the date that the incentive bonus is paid in accordance with the Employer’s normal practice. 

4.3    Participation in Benefit Plans. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans or
programs offered to other senior executives from time to time (to the extent that Executive meets the requirements for each such plan or program), including participation in any health insurance plan, disability insurance plan, dental plan, eye care
plan, 401(k) plan, life insurance plan, or other similar plans (all such benefits, the “Benefit Plans”). Some or all of the benefits may be provided by Employer’s leasing agent TriNet (or its successor(s) or assign(s). 

4.4    Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Executive for all ordinary and necessary business expenses reasonably
incurred by him in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, subject to the presentment and approval of appropriate itemized expense statements, receipts, vouchers or other supporting documentation in accordance with
Employer’s normal policies for expense verification in effect from time to time.

 4.5    Paid Time Off. Executive shall be entitled to paid time
off pursuant to Employer’s standard paid time off policies in the same manner as the Company’s other Senior Executives. Unused paid time off may be carried over from year to year, but in no case may more than 45 days (360 hours) of unused
paid time off be accrued. 
 4.6    Total Compensation. Executive shall not receive any other compensation or
benefits other than as provided in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 hereof. 
 5.    Payments Upon Termination.

continuation of such coverage pursuant to COBRA with the Company reimbursing Executive for COBRA premiums to the extent required so that Executive’s premium cost for the coverage in effect for Executive prior to the Termination Date is
substantially the same as immediately prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that providing medical, dental, and/or vision benefits in accordance with the preceding provisions of this
Section 5.5(c) would result in a violation of applicable law, the imposition of any penalties under applicable law, or adverse tax consequences for participants covered by the Company’s medical, dental, and/or vision plans, the Company may
terminate such 

  
 5 

 
coverage (or reimbursement) with respect to Executive and instead pay to Executive taxable cash payments at the same time and in the same amounts as the Company would have paid as premiums (or as
COBRA premium reimbursements) to provide such coverage. 
 (d)    Acceleration of vesting as follows:

 (i)    In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or by
Executive for Good Reason, in each case, within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control: each stock option, restricted stock unit, restricted stock award or other stock-based compensatory award granted by the Company to Executive that

(“Voting Power”); 
 (ii)    the Company consummates a merger, consolidation, share exchange,

(i) the Company’s outstanding securities, (ii) the surviving entity’s outstanding securities, or (iii) in the case of a division, the outstanding securities of each entity resulting from the division;

directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period or whose appointment, election or nomination was previously so approved or recommended) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board. 

5.6    Required Delivery of Irrevocable Release; Compliance with Section 6 Obligations.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5, as a condition to entitlement to the Severance Benefits, Executive must provide to the Company an Irrevocable Release and Noncompete Affirmation not later than the sixtieth day after the Date of
Termination; provided however that if the sixty day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a subsequent calendar year, any payment to be made or benefit to be provided upon receipt of the Irrevocable Release and Noncompete Affirmation shall
not be made or provided until the subsequent year. In the event Executive fails to provide an Irrevocable Release and Noncompete Affirmation to the Company within such sixty day period, the Company will immediately cease to pay or provide any
further Severance Benefits, no accelerated vesting of stock options or other awards pursuant to Section 5.5(d) shall occur, and Executive shall be obligated to immediately repay to the Company all previously paid or provided Severance Benefits.

comprising Company Inventions shall be deemed to be a “work made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 (2000)). To the extent that any such work of authorship may not be deemed to be a
work made for hire, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns any ownership rights Executive may have in and to such work to the Company. This Agreement does not apply to any Inventions Executive made before Executive’s employment with the Company.

periods covered by the promises and covenants will not include any period(s) of violation of, or any period(s) of time required for litigation brought by Company to enforce any such promise or covenant, it being understood that the extension of time
provided in this paragraph may not exceed two (2) years. 
 6.9    Duty to Give Notice of Agreement. During
employment by Company and the period of any post-employment obligation applicable hereunder, Executive shall provide written notice to any prospective employer of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall provide a true copy
hereof to such prospective employer at the outset of any communications about employment. 
 6.10    Independent
Elements. The parties acknowledge that the promises and covenants contained in Section 6 above are essential independent elements of this Agreement and that, but for Executive agreeing to comply with them, Company would not employ
Executive. Accordingly, the existence or assertion of any claim by Executive against Company, whether based on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not operate as a defense to Company’s enforcement of the promises and covenants in Section 6.
An alleged or actual breach of the Agreement by Company will not be a defense to enforcement of any such promise or covenant, or other obligations of Executive to Company. The promises and covenants in Section 6 will remain in full force and
effect whether Executive is terminated by Company or voluntarily resigns. 
 6.11    Remedies for Breach of
Agreement. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s breach of any promise or covenant contained in Section 6 will result in irreparable injury to Company and that Company’s remedies at law for such a breach will be inadequate.
Accordingly, Executive agrees and consents that Company, in addition to all other remedies available at law and in equity, shall be entitled to both preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent and/or halt a breach or threatened breach by
Executive of any such promise or covenant, and Executive waives the requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the promises and covenants contained in
Section 6 are enforceable, reasonable, and valid. 
 7.    Miscellaneous. 

7.1    Governing Law; Arbitration 

(a)    This Agreement is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
Florida, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. 
 (b)    With respect to claims by the
Company against Executive related to Executive’s threatened or actual breach of Section 6 of this Agreement, each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all actions or proceedings concerning such disputes

  
 13 

 
may be brought by the Company in (a) the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida; or (b) in any court of the State of Florida sitting in Alachua County,
provided that the United States District Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding. Executive consents to jurisdiction of and venue in the courts in the State of Florida set forth in this Section, and hereby waives to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any objection which Executive may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens. 

(c)    Except to the extent provided for in subsection (b) above, the Company and Executive agree that
any claim, dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company or termination of his employment (including, without limitation, any such claim, dispute
or controversy arising under any federal, state or local statute, regulation or ordinance or any of the Company’s employee benefit plans, policies or programs) shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding, confidential, arbitration. The
arbitration shall be held in Gainesville, Florida (or at such other location as shall be mutually agreed by the parties). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, including the Expedited Procedures. All fees and expenses of the arbitration, including a transcript if either requests, shall be borne equally by the parties. Each party is responsible for
the fees and expenses of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs and post-hearing briefs (unless the party prevails on a claim for which attorney’s fees are recoverable under law). In rendering a
decision, the arbitrator shall apply all legal principles and standards that would govern if the dispute were being heard in court. This includes the availability of all remedies that the parties could obtain in court. In addition, all statutes of
limitation and defenses that would be applicable in court, will apply to the arbitration proceeding. The decision of the arbitrator shall be set forth in writing, and be binding and conclusive on all parties. Any action to enforce or vacate the
arbitrator’s award shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, if applicable, and otherwise by applicable state law. If either the Company or Executive improperly pursues any claim, dispute or controversy against the other in a proceeding
other than the arbitration provided for herein, the responding party shall be entitled to dismissal or injunctive relief regarding such action and recovery of all costs, losses and attorney’s fees related to such action. 

7.2    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referenced herein contain the entire agreement of the
parties relating to the employment of Executive by Employer and the ancillary matters discussed herein and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings with respect to such matters, including, without limitation, any term sheet
between the parties hereto with respect to such matters, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or warranties relating to such employment or ancillary matters which are not set forth herein. 

  
 14 

 7.3    Withholding Taxes. Employer may withhold from any
compensation and Benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling. 

7.4    Golden Parachute Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any portion
of the Severance Benefits or any other payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (collectively, the “Total Benefits”) would be
subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (the “Excise Tax”), the Total Benefits shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the
Total Benefits is subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that no such reduction in the Total Benefits shall be made if by not making such reduction, Executive’s Retained Amount (as hereinafter defined) would be greater than
Executive’s Retained Amount if the Total Benefits are so reduced. All determinations required to be made under this Section 7.4 shall be made by tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (“Tax
Counsel”), which determinations shall be conclusive and binding on Executive and the Company absent manifest error. All fees and expenses of Tax Counsel shall be borne solely by the Company. Prior to any reduction in Executive’s Total
Benefits pursuant to this Section 7.4, Tax Counsel shall provide Executive and the Company with a report setting forth its calculations and containing related supporting information. In the event any such reduction is required, the Total
Benefits shall be reduced in the following order: (i) the Severance Amount (in reverse order of payment), (iii) any portion of the Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code (other than Total Benefits resulting from
any accelerated vesting of equity awards), (iv) other Total Benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Code in reverse order of payment, and (v) Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A and arise from any accelerated
vesting of any equity awards. “Retained Amount” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of the Total Benefits net of all federal, state and local taxes imposed
on Executive with respect thereto. 
 7.5    Compliance With Section 409A. This Agreement is
intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (including the exceptions thereto), to the extent applicable, and shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. If any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts
with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or the exemptions intended to apply under this Agreement), this Agreement shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or applicable
exemptions thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining Executive’s entitlement to the Severance Benefits under Section 5 hereof, (a) Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to have
terminated unless and until Executive incurs a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and (b) the effective date of any termination or resignation of employment (or any similar term) shall be the
effective date of Executive’s separation from service. Reimbursement of any expenses provided for in this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Company’s policies (as applicable) with respect thereto as in effect from time to time
(but in no event later than the end of calendar year following the year such expenses were incurred) and in no event shall (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement hereunder during a taxable year affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other taxable year or (ii) the right to reimbursement be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a payment or benefit under this Agreement is

  
 15 

 
due to a “separation from service” for purposes of the rules under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(2) (payments to specified employees upon a
separation from service) and Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” (as determined under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i)), such payment shall, to the extent necessary to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, be made on the later of (x) the date specified by the foregoing provisions of this Agreement or (y) the date that is six (6) months after the date of Executive’s separation from
service (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death). Any installment payments that are delayed pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following
Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death) and the remaining installment payments shall begin on such date in accordance with the schedule provided in this Agreement. To the extent permitted by
Section 409A, each payment hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 

7.6    Amendments. No amendment or modification of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in
writing and signed by both Executive and Employer. 
 7.7    Severability; Reformation. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under any applicable Law or rule, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement will not be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, illegal or unenforceable because it is too broad in scope, too lengthy in
duration or violates any Law or regulation, it shall be reformed by limiting its scope, limiting its duration or construing it to avoid such violation (as the case may be) while giving the greatest effect to the intent of the parties as is legally
permissible. 
 7.8    No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 

7.9    Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is a personal service contract, and shall not be
assignable by Executive. This Agreement shall be assignable by Employer to any successor to the business of Employer, without the written consent of Executive; provided, however, that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or
substantially all of the business assets of Employer and such assignee or transferee expressly assumes all the obligations, duties, and liabilities of Employer set forth in this Agreement. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of
this Section 7.9 shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit or obligation
hereunder. 
 7.10    Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in separate
counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. A facsimile signature by any party on a
counterpart of this Agreement shall be binding and effective for all purposes. Such party shall subsequently deliver to the other party an original, executed copy of this Agreement; provided, however, that a failure of such party to deliver an
original, executed copy shall not invalidate Executive’s or its signature. 

  
 16 

 7.11    Notices. All notices, instructions and other
communications given hereunder or in connection herewith shall be in writing. Any such notice, instruction or communication shall be sent either (i) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or

 Exhibit 10.3 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 29th day of August, 2019 by and between Applied Genetic
Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation, including its successors and assigns, (the “Employer” or “Company”), and Stephen W. Potter (“Executive”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the respective undertakings of Employer and Executive set forth below, Employer and
Executive hereby agree as follows: 
 1.    Employment. Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby
accepts such employment and agrees to perform services for Employer, for the period and on the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee’s Start Date shall be and shall be considered the Effective Date of
this Agreement. 
 2.    Employment at Will. Executive is employed
“at-will” which means that Executive’s employment is not for any defined term and may be terminated by either Executive or the Company at any time, with or without cause, for any or no reason,
subject to the notice provisions herein. 
 3.    Position and Duties. 

3.1    Service with Employer. Employer hereby employs Executive in an executive capacity with the title of Chief
Business Officer and Executive hereby accepts such employment and undertakes and agrees to serve in such capacity. Executive shall have such powers, perform such duties and fulfill such responsibilities as are typically associated with such position
in other similarly situated companies and shall report directly to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, 

3.2    Performance of Duties. Executive agrees to: (i) devote substantially all of Executive’s business
time, attention and efforts to the business and affairs of Employer while employed; and (ii) adhere to all Employer’s written employment policies and procedures as shall be in force from time to time. 

3.3    Outside Activities. During the Term, Executive shall not: (i) except as set forth below, accept other
employment; (ii) except as set forth below, render or perform services for compensation to any Person (as hereinafter defined) other than Employer; (iii) serve as an officer or on the board of directors (or similar governing body) of any
entity other than Employer, whether or not for compensation; or (iv) engage in any other business, enterprise or activity that will require any effort on the part of Executive that, in the sole discretion of Employer, could reasonably be
expected to materially detract from the ability of Executive to perform Executive’s duties to Employer pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, Executive may engage in the activities set forth in Schedule A hereto or described in clause
(iii) or (iv) above if prior to engaging in such activity, Executive has disclosed such activity to the Board and received written approval to engage in such activity from the Board. Executive may engage in personal investments without
disclosure to or written approval from the Board provided Executive is not required or expected to serve as a board member, advisor or consultant and Executive shall, at any time, own beneficially 

 
less than 2% of the outstanding securities of any issuer and such personal investment shall not otherwise interfere with Executive’s performance of duties hereunder and/or the provisions of
Executive’s written agreements with Employer. 
 3.4    Executive Representations. Executive represents that
Executive is not subject to any restrictive covenant, confidentiality agreement, or any other agreement that would prevent Executive from accepting employment with Employer, and based on the information provided to Employer by Executive, Employer
accepts such representation. 
 4. Compensation. 

4.1    Base Salary. Employer shall pay to Executive a base salary for all services to be rendered by Executive
under this Agreement (the “Base Salary”), which Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll schedule, procedures and policies (which schedule, procedures and policies may be modified from time to time) and
subject to applicable deductions as required by law. Employer shall review Executive’s salary on an annual basis and may, in its discretion, consider and declare from time to time increases in the Base Salary that it pays Executive. Any and all
increases in Executive’s salary pursuant to this section shall cause the level of Base Salary to be increased by the amount of each such increase for purposes of this Agreement. The increased level of Base Salary as provided in this section
shall become the level of Base Salary for the remainder of the term of this Agreement unless there is a further increase in Base Salary as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Salary of Executive may be decreased provided it is
done so in proportion to decreases in Base Salary of the entire executive team of the Company. 
 4.2    Annual
Bonus. The Executive will be eligible to participate in the Employer’s annual cash incentive compensation plan on substantially the same terms as other executive officers. Company-wide and individual performance objectives
(“MBOs”) will be established by the Compensation Committee. Target incentives do not constitute a promise of payment and the Executive’s actual bonus, if any, will depend in part on the Employer’s performance and the Compensation
Committee’s discretion in assessing the Executive’s individual performance in relation to his or her MBOs and the overall performance and status of the Company. To qualify for the incentive bonus, the Executive must remain employed with
the Company through the date that the incentive bonus is paid in accordance with the Employer’s normal practice. 

4.3    Participation in Benefit Plans. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans or
programs offered to other senior executives from time to time (to the extent that Executive meets the requirements for each such plan or program), including participation in any health insurance plan, disability insurance plan, dental plan, eye care
plan, 401(k) plan, life insurance plan, or other similar plans (all such benefits, the “Benefit Plans”). Some or all of the benefits may be provided by Employer’s leasing agent TriNet (or its successor(s) or assign(s). 

4.4    Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Executive for all ordinary and necessary business expenses reasonably
incurred by him in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, subject to the presentment and approval of appropriate itemized expense statements, receipts, vouchers or other supporting documentation in accordance with
Employer’s normal policies for expense verification in effect from time to time. 

  
 2 

 4.5    Paid Time Off. Executive shall be entitled to paid time
off pursuant to Employer’s standard paid time off policies in the same manner as the Company’s other Senior Executives. Unused paid time off may be carried over from year to year, but in no case may more than 45 days (360 hours) of unused
paid time off be accrued. 
 4.6    Total Compensation. Executive shall not receive any other compensation or
benefits other than as provided in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 hereof. 
 5. Payments Upon Termination. 

5.1    Voluntary Resignation without Good Reason. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment by providing
Employer with 30 days’ advance written notice. If Executive terminates Executive’s employment (other than for Good Reason (either prior to or within 12 months following a Change in Control) or by reason of Disability, each as defined

Executive the Accrued Obligations, (ii) Executive’s participation in the Benefit Plans shall terminate as of the Termination Date, and (iii) Employer shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement, other than
those provided in this Section 5.2. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: (a) Executive’s failure to substantially perform Executive’s duties with the Company (if Executive has not cured such failure to
substantially perform, if curable, within thirty (30) days after Executive’s receipt of written notice thereof from the Board that specifies the conduct constituting Cause under this clause (a)); (b) Executive’s willful misconduct, or
gross negligence in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder; (c) the conviction of Executive for, or the entering by Executive of a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to, any crime that constitutes a felony or involves
fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (d) Executive’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation against the Company; (e) Executive’s material breach of the fiduciary duty owed by Executive to the

of the following events (without Executive’s consent): 
 (a)    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; 

(b)    a relocation of the Executive’s principal workplace to a location more than 50 miles from the
location of such workplace immediately prior to the Change in Control without the Executive’s express written consent; 

(c)    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 

(d)    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 event
to the Company within ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence thereof, (b) the Company shall have failed to cure the condition constituting Good Reason within thirty (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 thirty (30) days after expiration of such cure period. 

5.4    Termination by Employer due to Executive’s Death or Disability. If Executive’s
employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability (as defined below): (i) Employer shall pay to Executive the Accrued Obligations, (ii) Executive’s participation in the Benefit Plans shall terminate as of the Termination Date

Section 5.4. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means Executive being determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration or Executive’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months.

 5.5    Severance Benefits. “Severance Benefits” means:

 (a)    The payment to Executive of the Severance Amount in a lump sum immediately following the
Termination Date. 
 (b)    For this purpose, “Severance Amount” means: 

(i)    In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or by the Executive for
Good Reason, in each case, within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the product of 1.0 multiplied by Executive’s annual Base Salary plus (B), the product of 1.0 multiplied by the
Executive’s target bonus in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination. 
 (ii)    In the
event that Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause (other than within twelve (12) months of a Change in Control), an amount equal to the sum of (A) the product of 0.75 multiplied by Executive’s annual Base Salary plus
(B), the product of the Executive’s target bonus in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination multiplied by a fraction equal to the quotient of the number of days during such year on which the Executive was employed by the Company,
divided by 365. 
 (c)    The continuation of Executive’s participation in the Company’s
medical, dental, and vision benefit plans at the same premium cost to Executive as charged to Executive immediately prior to the Termination Date for a period of (i) in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause
or by the Executive for Good Reason, in each case, within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, twelve (12) months immediately following the Termination Date or (ii) in the event that the Executive’s employment is
terminated without Cause (other than within twelve (12) months of a Change in Control) nine (9) months immediately following the Termination Date (in each case, the “Continuation Period”), or if earlier, until Executive obtains
other employment which provides the same type of benefit; provided, however, that (i) it is understood and agreed that such continued medical, dental and vision benefits may at the election of the Company be provided by Executive electing the
continuation of such coverage pursuant to COBRA with the Company reimbursing Executive for COBRA premiums to the extent required so that Executive’s premium cost for the coverage in effect for Executive prior to the Termination Date is
substantially the same as immediately prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that providing medical, dental, and/or vision benefits in accordance with the preceding provisions of this
Section 5.5(c) would result in a violation of applicable law, the imposition of any penalties under applicable law, or adverse tax consequences for participants covered by the Company’s medical, dental, and/or vision plans, the Company may
terminate such 

  
 5 

 
coverage (or reimbursement) with respect to Executive and instead pay to Executive taxable cash payments at the same time and in the same amounts as the Company would have paid as premiums (or as
COBRA premium reimbursements) to provide such coverage. 
 (d)    Acceleration of vesting as follows:

 (i)    In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or by
Executive for Good Reason, in each case, within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control: each stock option, restricted stock unit, restricted stock award or other stock-based compensatory award granted by the Company to Executive that
is outstanding as of the Termination Date and is not fully vested as of the date of the Termination Date (each an “Award”), shall become fully vested as of the date Executive provides the Company with the Irrevocable Release provided for
in this Section 5.5 within the period prescribed therein. 
 (ii)    In the case of any Award the
vesting of which is contingent in whole or in part upon the attainment of any Company or market performance condition that has not yet been satisfied, such condition shall be deemed to have been satisfied as of the date of termination at the level
that would result in vesting of 100% of the number of shares stated as the target award. 
 (e)    For
purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means, and shall be deemed to have occurred, if: 

(i)    any Person, excluding (i) employee benefit plans of the Company or any of its Affiliates, is

(“Voting Power”); 
 (ii)    the Company consummates a merger, consolidation, share exchange,
division or other reorganization or transaction of the Company (a “Fundamental Transaction”) with any other corporation, other than a Fundamental Transaction that results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately

(i) the Company’s outstanding securities, (ii) the surviving entity’s outstanding securities, or (iii) in the case of a division, the outstanding securities of each entity resulting from the division;

constituted the Board (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period or whose appointment, election or nomination was previously so approved or recommended) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board. 

5.6    Required Delivery of Irrevocable Release; Compliance with Section 6 Obligations.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5, as a condition to entitlement to the Severance Benefits, Executive must provide to the Company an Irrevocable Release and Noncompete Affirmation not later than the sixtieth day after the Date of
Termination; provided however that if the sixty day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a subsequent calendar year, any payment to be made or benefit to be provided upon receipt of the Irrevocable Release and Noncompete Affirmation shall
not be made or provided until the subsequent year. In the event Executive fails to provide an Irrevocable Release and Noncompete Affirmation to the Company within such sixty day period, the Company will immediately cease to pay or provide any
further Severance Benefits, no accelerated vesting of stock options or other awards pursuant to Section 5.5(d) shall occur, and Executive shall be obligated to immediately repay to the Company all previously paid or provided Severance Benefits.

In consideration of Executive’s promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, including Executive’s promise and covenant not to disclose Confidential Information, Employer will provide Executive with Confidential Information.
In further consideration of Executive’s promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, including Executive’s promise and covenant to utilize the Goodwill exclusively for the benefit of Employer, Employer will allow Executive to
receive Confidential Information concerning the Company’s customers, labs, vendors and employees and, to the extent required to fulfill Executive’s duties, the Company will permit Executive to represent the Company on its behalf with such
persons. To the extent that Executive’s duties involve sales or customer relations, the Company will permit Executive to utilize the Goodwill in Executive’s sales efforts and will provide sales support to Executive similar to that which it
provides to its sales representatives. 
 6.2    Duties. While employed by Company, Executive shall perform the
duties required of Executive hereunder and shall devote Executive’s best efforts and exclusive business time, energy and skill to performing such duties; not make any disparaging remarks regarding Company to any person with whom Company
has business relations, including any employee or vendor of Company; use the Goodwill solely for the benefit of Company; and not interfere in such Goodwill, either during or following Executive’s employment with Company. 

6.3    Delivery of Company Property. Executive recognizes that all documents, magnetic media and other
tangible items which contain Confidential Information are the property of Company exclusively. Upon request by Company or termination of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive shall promptly return to Company all Confidential
Information and Company Property within Executive’s possession and control, and shall refrain from taking any Confidential Information or Company Property or allowing any Confidential Information or Company Property to be taken from Company;
and immediately return to Company all information pertaining to Company or Company Property in Executive’s possession. 

6.4    Promise and Covenant Not to Disclose. The parties acknowledge that Company is the sole and exclusive owner
of Confidential Information, and that Company has legitimate business interests in protecting Confidential Information. The parties further acknowledge that Company has invested, and continues to invest, considerable amounts of time and money in
obtaining, developing, and preserving the confidentiality of Confidential Information and that, by reason of the trust relationship arising between Executive and Company, Executive owes Company a fiduciary duty to preserve and protect Confidential
Information from all unauthorized disclosure and unauthorized use. Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose Confidential Information to any third party (except to Executive’s attorneys, the Company’s personnel, other persons
designated in writing by the Company, or except as otherwise provided by law) or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the direct benefit of Company while in Company’s employ and thereafter. 

6.5    Inventions and Assignment. Executive agrees that he will promptly disclose to the Company any and all
Company Inventions and that Executive hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company all ownership rights in and to any and all Company Inventions. During Executive’s 

  
 8 

 
employment or at any time thereafter, upon request of the Company, Executive will sign, execute and deliver any and all documents or instruments, including, without limitation, patent
applications, declarations, invention assignments and copyright assignments, and will take any other action which the Company shall deem necessary to perfect in the Company trademark, copyright or patent rights with respect to Inventions, or to
otherwise protect the Company’s trade secrets and proprietary interests. The term “Inventions” means discoveries; developments; trade secrets; processes; formulas; data; lists; software programs; graphics; artwork; logos, and all
other works of authorship, ideas, concepts, know-how, designs, and techniques, whether or not any of the foregoing is or are patentable, copyrightable, or registrable under any intellectual property laws or
industrial property laws in the United States. The term “Company Inventions” means all Inventions that (a) relate to the business or proposed business of the Company or any of its predecessors or that are discovered, developed,

(c) are discovered, developed, created, conceived, reduced to practice, made, or written by him using property or equipment of the Company or any of its predecessors. Executive agrees to promptly and fully communicate in writing to the Company
(to such department or officer of the Company and in accordance with such procedures as the Company may direct from time to time) any and all Company Inventions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any work of authorship by Executive or others
comprising Company Inventions shall be deemed to be a “work made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 (2000)). To the extent that any such work of authorship may not be deemed to be a
work made for hire, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns any ownership rights Executive may have in and to such work to the Company. This Agreement does not apply to any Inventions Executive made before Executive’s employment with the Company.
To clearly establish Executive’s rights, Executive has listed on Exhibit B any Inventions, whether or not patentable or copyrightable and whether or not reduced to practice, made by him prior to Executive’s employment with the Company that
are owned by Executive (“Prior Inventions”), together with the approximate dates of their creation. If no such list is attached, Executive represents that there are no Prior Inventions. 

6.6    Other Promises and Covenants. In consideration for the benefits specifically provided for in this
Section 6.6 and that may otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to the benefits payable pursuant to Section 5.5, Executive hereby promises and covenants as follows. 

(a)    In consideration of payment to Executive of $500.00, less applicable withholdings, Executive agrees

Executive’s employment without Cause (the “Non-Competition Period”), Executive shall not either directly or indirectly, on Executive’s own or another’s behalf, engage in or assist
others in any of the following activities (except on behalf of Company): 
 (i)    (whether as

her fiduciary duty to the Company or has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, property belong to the Company, then the Non-Competition Period shall be extended for an additional period of one year.

 (c)    During Executive’s employment with Company and for a period of two years following

enforceable agreement including the provisions of this Agreement regarding the disclosure, ownership and use of the Confidential Information and Goodwill of Company;

 6.10    Independent
Elements. The parties acknowledge that the promises and covenants contained in Section 6 above are essential independent elements of this Agreement and that, but for Executive agreeing to comply with them, Company would not employ

Executive of any such promise or covenant, and Executive waives the requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the promises and covenants contained in

 7.    Miscellaneous.

 13 

 
may be brought by the Company in (a) the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida; or (b) in any court of the State of Florida sitting in Alachua County,
provided that the United States District Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding. Executive consents to jurisdiction of and venue in the courts in the State of Florida set forth in this Section, and hereby waives to

(c)    Except to the extent provided for in subsection (b) above, the Company and Executive agree that
any claim, dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company or termination of his employment (including, without limitation, any such claim, dispute
or controversy arising under any federal, state or local statute, regulation or ordinance or any of the Company’s employee benefit plans, policies or programs) shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding, confidential, arbitration. The
arbitration shall be held in Gainesville, Florida (or at such other location as shall be mutually agreed by the parties). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the

decision, the arbitrator shall apply all legal principles and standards that would govern if the dispute were being heard in court. This includes the availability of all remedies that the parties could obtain in court. In addition, all statutes of
limitation and defenses that would be applicable in court, will apply to the arbitration proceeding. The decision of the arbitrator shall be set forth in writing, and be binding and conclusive on all parties. Any action to enforce or vacate the
arbitrator’s award shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, if applicable, and otherwise by applicable state law. If either the Company or Executive improperly pursues any claim, dispute or controversy against the other in a proceeding

7.2    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referenced herein contain the entire agreement of the
parties relating to the employment of Executive by Employer and the ancillary matters discussed herein and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings with respect to such matters, including, without limitation, any term sheet
between the parties hereto with respect to such matters, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or warranties relating to such employment or ancillary matters which are not set forth herein. 

  
 14 

 7.3    Withholding Taxes. Employer may withhold from any
compensation and Benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling. 

7.4    Golden Parachute Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any portion
of the Severance Benefits or any other payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (collectively, the “Total Benefits”) would be
subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (the “Excise Tax”), the Total Benefits shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the
Total Benefits is subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that no such reduction in the Total Benefits shall be made if by not making such reduction, Executive’s Retained Amount (as hereinafter defined) would be greater than
Executive’s Retained Amount if the Total Benefits are so reduced. All determinations required to be made under this Section 7.4 shall be made by tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (“Tax
Counsel”), which determinations shall be conclusive and binding on Executive and the Company absent manifest error. All fees and expenses of Tax Counsel shall be borne solely by the Company. Prior to any reduction in Executive’s Total
Benefits pursuant to this Section 7.4, Tax Counsel shall provide Executive and the Company with a report setting forth its calculations and containing related supporting information. In the event any such reduction is required, the Total
Benefits shall be reduced in the following order: (i) the Severance Amount (in reverse order of payment), (iii) any portion of the Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code (other than Total Benefits resulting from
any accelerated vesting of equity awards), (iv) other Total Benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Code in reverse order of payment, and (v) Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A and arise from any accelerated
vesting of any equity awards. “Retained Amount” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of the Total Benefits net of all federal, state and local taxes imposed
on Executive with respect thereto. 
 7.5    Compliance With Section 409A. This Agreement is
intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (including the exceptions thereto), to the extent applicable, and shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. If any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts
with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or the exemptions intended to apply under this Agreement), this Agreement shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or applicable
exemptions thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining Executive’s entitlement to the Severance Benefits under Section 5 hereof, (a) Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to have
terminated unless and until Executive incurs a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and (b) the effective date of any termination or resignation of employment (or any similar term) shall be the
effective date of Executive’s separation from service. Reimbursement of any expenses provided for in this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Company’s policies (as applicable) with respect thereto as in effect from time to time
(but in no event later than the end of calendar year following the year such expenses were incurred) and in no event shall (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement hereunder during a taxable year affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other taxable year or (ii) the right to reimbursement be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a payment or benefit under this Agreement is

  
 15 

 
due to a “separation from service” for purposes of the rules under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(2) (payments to specified employees upon a
separation from service) and Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” (as determined under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i)), such payment shall, to the extent necessary to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, be made on the later of (x) the date specified by the foregoing provisions of this Agreement or (y) the date that is six (6) months after the date of Executive’s separation from
service (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death). Any installment payments that are delayed pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following
Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death) and the remaining installment payments shall begin on such date in accordance with the schedule provided in this Agreement. To the extent permitted by
Section 409A, each payment hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 

7.6    Amendments. No amendment or modification of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in
writing and signed by both Executive and Employer. 
 7.7    Severability; Reformation. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under any applicable Law or rule, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement will not be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, illegal or unenforceable because it is too broad in scope, too lengthy in
duration or violates any Law or regulation, it shall be reformed by limiting its scope, limiting its duration or construing it to avoid such violation (as the case may be) while giving the greatest effect to the intent of the parties as is legally
permissible. 
 7.8    No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 

7.9    Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is a personal service contract, and shall not be
assignable by Executive. This Agreement shall be assignable by Employer to any successor to the business of Employer, without the written consent of Executive; provided, however, that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or
substantially all of the business assets of Employer and such assignee or transferee expressly assumes all the obligations, duties, and liabilities of Employer set forth in this Agreement. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of
this Section 7.9 shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit or obligation
hereunder. 
 7.10    Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in separate
counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. A facsimile signature by any party on a
counterpart of this Agreement shall be binding and effective for all purposes. Such party shall subsequently deliver to the other party an original, executed copy of this Agreement; provided, however, that a failure of such party to deliver an
original, executed copy shall not invalidate Executive’s or its signature.
