the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to the sum of (i) nine (9) months of the Executive’s Base Salary ($367,500) plus (ii) a Executive’s Target Bonus for FY 2025 prorated to reflect the period during FY 2025 that the Executive was employed by the Company prior to the Resignation Date ($169,688) (together

Such payments, if to the Executive, shall be subject to tax-related deductions and withholdings and paid on the Company’s regular payroll dates;

(b)

The Parties agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, “Direct Competitor” means any of the following seven (7) companies, each of which the Parties agree is a direct competitor of the Company: Wave Life Sciences, Beam Therapeutics, ProQR Therapeutics, Camp4 Therapeutics, AIRNA, CRISPR Therapeutics, and Prime Medicine.

(c)

The Executive agrees that for purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Territory” means the geographic areas in which the Executive provided services for Company, during any time within the last two years prior to the Resignation Date.

Non-Disparagement.

(a)

Subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees not to take any action or make any statements (whether written, oral, through social or electronic media or otherwise) that are disparaging about or adverse to the business interests of the Company or its employees, officers or directors. For avoidance of all doubt, nothing in this section shall prevent the Executive from responding truthfully and accurately to governmental inquiries or in the context of any legal proceeding and nothing shall prevent or limit her from speaking truthfully and accurately with her financial or legal advisors or her medical providers or immediate family.

(b)

The Company agrees to instruct executives of the Company not to take any action or make any statements, whether written or oral, that are disparaging with respect to Executive; provided, however, nothing herein shall restrict, limit, or otherwise apply to truthful statements made by executives in good faith and in the ordinary course of the Company’s business operations or as otherwise required by applicable law. Executive understands that the Company’s obligations

under this paragraph extend only to the Company’s current executive officers and members of its Board and only for so long as each officer or member is an employee or director of the Company.

Communications/Cooperation.

(a)

The Executive agrees that she will not communicate about her transition and departure with anyone, except as expressly provided herein, until after the Company has made a formal written announcement about the Executive’s transition and departure through a written communication that has been agreed to by the Executive (the “Company Announcement”), with such agreement by Executive not to be unreasonably withheld. For avoidance of all doubt, all such communications shall be subject to compliance with all applicable law and regulations. The Company and the Executive agree to communicate about the Executive’s departure in a way that is consistent with the Company Announcement; provided that the Executive may communicate with her tax advisors, attorneys, spouse and immediate family members about her departure before the Company Announcement, provided further that the Executive first advises such persons not to reveal information about the Executive’s departure and each such person agrees. In addition, the Executive agrees that following the Resignation Date, the Executive will promptly update any social media or electronic accounts (e.g., LinkedIn) to reflect that the Executive is no longer CMO of the Company.

(b)

The Executive shall cooperate fully with any reasonable request of the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Executive’s full and reasonable cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being reasonably available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 8(b).

Post-Employment Continuing Obligations; Termination of Payments; Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s right to the Separation Benefits is conditioned on the Executive’s full compliance with Section 8 of the Employment Agreement, Sections 5 through 8 of this Agreement, and the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement (collectively the “Post-Employment Continuing Obligations”). In the event that the Executive fails to comply with any of the Post-Employment Continuing Obligations then in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it may have for such breach, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Separation Benefits. Such termination of Separation Benefits in the event of a breach by the Executive shall not affect the general release in Section 4 of this Agreement or the Executive’s obligation to comply with the Post-Employment Continuing Obligations. Further, the Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any harm caused to the Company that might result from any breach by the Executive of any of the Post-Employment Continuing Obligations

and that, in any event, money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if she breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of the Post-Employment Continuing Obligations, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies it may have, to seek an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach, without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company and without the necessity of posting a bond.

10.

Advice of Counsel. This Agreement is a legally binding document and the Executive’s signature will commit the Executive to its terms. The Executive acknowledges that she has been advised to discuss all aspects of this Agreement with the Executive’s attorney, that she has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement and that she is voluntarily entering into this Agreement. In signing this Agreement, the Executive is not relying upon any promises or representations made by anyone at or on behalf of the Company.

11.

Protected Disclosures. Nothing contained in this Agreement, any other agreement with the Company, or any Company policy shall have the purpose or effect of concealing the details relating to a claim of discrimination, retaliation or harassment limits of effect the Executive’s ability, with or without notice to the Company, to: (i) file a charge or complaint with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (a “Government Agency”), including without limitation, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); (ii) communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including by providing non-privileged documents or information; (iii) discuss or disclose information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that you have reason to believe is unlawful; or (iv) testify truthfully in a legal proceeding. Any such communications and disclosures must not violate applicable law and the information disclosed must not have been obtained through a communication that was subject to the attorney-client privilege (unless disclosure of that information would otherwise be permitted consistent with such privilege or applicable law). If a Government Agency or any other third party pursues any claim on the Executive’s behalf, the Executive waives any right to monetary or other individualized relief (either individually or as part of any collective or class action), but the Company will not limit any right the Executive may have to receive an award pursuant to the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law or regulation for providing information to the SEC or any other Government Agency.

12.

The Executive acknowledges that she has been given the opportunity to consider this Agreement for twenty-one (21) days from receipt of this Agreement before signing it (the “Consideration Period”). To accept this Agreement, the Executive must return a signed, unmodified original or PDF copy or DocuSign of this Agreement so that it is received by the undersigned on or before the expiration of the Consideration Period.

16.

Taxes. The Company shall undertake to make deductions, withholdings and tax reports with respect to payments and benefits under this Agreement and in connection with other compensation matters to the extent that it reasonably and in good faith determines that it is required to make such deductions, withholdings and tax reports. Payments under this Agreement shall be in amounts net of any such deductions or withholdings. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate the Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits made to the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment with the Company.

17.

Acknowledgment of Wage and Other Payments. The Executive acknowledges and represents that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Executive has been paid all wages, bonuses, compensation, benefits and other amounts that any of the Releasees has ever owed to the Executive.

In the event of any dispute, this Agreement is intended by the Parties to be construed as a whole, to be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning, and not to be construed strictly for or against either Party or the “drafter” of all or any portion of this Agreement.

20.

Assignment; Successors and Assigns. 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, that the Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including the Restrictive Covenants Agreement) without the Executive’s consent to any affiliate or to any person or entity with whom the Company shall hereafter effect a reorganization or consolidation, into which the Company merges or to whom it transfers 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 the Executive’s and the Company’s respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. In the event of the Executive’s death after the Resignation Date but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due to the Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to the Executive’s death (or to the Executive’s estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation).

Immediately upon termination of employment or request by Korro, I will follow Korro’s instructions to enable Korro personnel to remove any Proprietary Information from such computer or storage device, by the methods or processes directed by Korro.

I represent and agree that I have listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement, in a manner that does not violate any third party rights, a complete list of all Inventions that I conceived, reduced to practice, created, or otherwise developed prior to my employment with Korro (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”), that belong to me (solely or jointly) and that relate to Korro’s existing or reasonably contemplated business, products or research and development, and that are not assigned by me to Korro under this Agreement. If I have not listed any Prior Inventions on Exhibit A, I represent and warrant that there are no Prior Inventions. Without limiting any of the other provisions in this Agreement or Korro’s other rights and remedies, if in the course of my employment with Korro, I incorporate into a Korro product compound, product, candidate, method, process, database, program or service a Prior Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, or if I disclose to Korro my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property (or if the performance of my work at Korro requires the incorporation of such Prior Inventions), Korro shall have and I hereby grant Korro a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, freely sublicensable and transferable through multiple tiers, worldwide right and license to use Prior Inventions and all such confidential information and intellectual property rights for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, the right to make, have made, modify, use, import, offer for sale, sell, copy, reproduce, distribute, reverse engineer, decompile, publicly display on any media and prepare derivative works of such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with the research, development or commercialization of such product, compound, product, candidate, method, process, database, program or service, and to practice any method related thereto.

(c) Korro Inventions. The term “Korro Inventions” means any and all Inventions, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, that I may make, create, conceive, or reduce to practice, or cause to be made, created, conceived or reduced to practice, either solely or jointly with others, during my term of employment with Korro.

(d) Assignment of Korro Inventions. I will promptly disclose all Korro Inventions to Korro. I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assign to Korro Bio Ops, Inc., or its designee, and agree never to assert against Korro, all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Korro Inventions. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Korro Invention is within Korro’s sole discretion and for Korro’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to me as a result of Korro’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Korro Invention. I understand that this Agreement does not require my assignment to Korro of an Invention which qualifies fully for protection under Section 2870. During my employment at Korro, I will promptly and fully disclose to Korro in writing of any Inventions made during my employment at Korro that I believe meet the criteria in Section 2870 and were not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A.

(e) Korro Inventions Assigned to the United States or Third Party. If requested by Korro, I will assign to any third party designated by Korro, including the United States government, all my right, title, and interest in and to any particular Korro Invention.

(f) Works for Hire. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).

(g) Maintenance of Records. I will comply with all policies and procedures of Korro relating to disclosure, documentation, storage, retention and corroboration of inventive and creative activity with which I may be involved, and I will keep and maintain adequate and current records of all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment by Korro. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of Korro at all times.

(h) Cooperation. I will assist Korro in every way both during and after my employment with Korro to obtain, maintain, enforce and defend Intellectual Property Rights arising from Korro Inventions in any and all countries, states and other jurisdiction. I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as Korro may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, sustaining, enforcing and defending such Intellectual Property Rights relating to Korro Inventions. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Korro and each of its duly authorized officers, employees and representatives as my agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, to act for and on my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed, filed or done by me. My obligation to assist Korro under this Section 3(h) in obtaining and enforcing Intellectual Property Rights and protections relating to Korro Inventions will continue beyond the termination of my employment, but Korro will compensate me at a reasonable rate for the time actually spent by me at Korro’s request on such cooperation after my termination of employment.

4. Conflicting Employment and Other Obligations. I represent and warrant that I have not entered into, and I agree that during my employment with Korro I will not enter into, any agreement, whether written or oral, in conflict with this Agreement or my employment with Korro.

During my employment with Korro, I will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or activity that is competitive or may be reasonably perceived to be in any way competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Korro, nor will I assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of Korro. For the avoidance of any doubt regarding what may be a conflict with my obligations to Korro or what may be considered competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Korro, I agree to discuss with my Korro supervisor and Korro’s General Counsel and obtain Korro’s approval in advance of accepting any offer of employment, consulting engagement or other work with any pharmaceutical or biotechnology company.

5. Non-Solicitation. During my employment with Korro and for one (1) year following termination of my employment with Korro for any reason, with or without cause, I will not, directly or indirectly, induce, solicit, recruit for employment or encourage any of Korro’s employees, consultants or independent contractors to leave Korro, either for myself or for any other entity.

6. Notification of New Employer. When my employment with Korro ends (for any reason), I hereby consent to Korro’s notification of my new employer about my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

7. Equitable Relief. Because my services are personal and unique and because I may have access to and become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of Korro, I acknowledge that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement may cause Korro immediate and irreparable harm that cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages. I also acknowledge that Korro shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that it may have for a breach of this Agreement.

8. General.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement supplements and does not supersede any other confidentiality, assignment of inventions or restrictive covenant agreement between Korro and me (collectively, “Prior Confidentiality Agreements”), provided that any Prior Confidentiality Agreements will be interpreted consistently with Section 8(f) of this Agreement. To the extent that there is any conflict between this Agreement and any other confidentiality, assignment of inventions or restrictive covenant agreement between Korro and me, this Agreement shall govern. To the extent that this Agreement addresses other subject matters, this Agreement supersedes any previous oral or written communications, representations, understandings or agreements with Korro or any officer or representative of Korro regarding such subject matters.

(b) Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment at Korro and shall inure to the benefit of the subsidiaries, successors and assigns of Korro and shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns and administrators.

(c) Severability; Waiver. To the extent that any word, phrase, clause, or sentence in this Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable to the maximum extent for any reason, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) shall be modified or deleted to the minimum extent required so as to make the Agreement, as modified, legal and enforceable under applicable laws. No waiver

of any right or remedy under this Agreement will be binding on Korro unless it is in writing and has been signed by an authorized officer of Korro.

(d) Attorney’s Fees. If I violate this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies available to Korro at law, in equity and under contract, I agree that I am obligated to pay all of Korro’s costs of enforcing this Agreement, including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses; however, if I reside in and am subject to the law of a state that would convert this recovery of attorneys’ fees provision to a reciprocal obligation or an obligation where the prevailing party would recover fees and costs, then such recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs provision shall not apply and each party will bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs.

(e) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its choice of law provisions. Any claim arising under this Agreement will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal or Commonwealth of Massachusetts state courts and I hereby submit to, and waive any objection to, personal jurisdiction and venue in these courts for the resolution of any Claim.

(e) Modifications. This Agreement may not be changed, modified, released, discharged, abandoned, or otherwise amended, in whole or in part, except in writing and signed and delivered by me and a duly authorized officer of Korro.

(f) Protected Disclosures; Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. I understand that nothing contained in this Agreement, any other agreement with Korro, or any Korro policy limits my ability, with or without notice to Korro, to: (i) file a charge or complaint with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (a “Government Agency”), including without limitation, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii) communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including by providing non-privileged documents or information; (iii) exercise any rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, which are available to non-supervisory employees, including assisting co-workers with or discussing any employment issue as part of engaging in concerted activities for the purpose of mutual aid or protection; (iv) share compensation information concerning myself or others (provided that this does not permit me to disclose compensation information concerning others that I obtain because my job responsibilities require or allow access to such information); (v) discuss or disclose information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that I have reason to believe is unlawful; or (vi) testify truthfully in a legal proceeding. Any such communications and disclosures must not violate applicable law and the information disclosed must not have been obtained through a communication that was subject to the attorney-client privilege (unless disclosure of that information would otherwise be permitted consistent with such privilege or applicable law). I further understand that pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, I shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

9. Employment at Will. I understand and acknowledge that my employment with Korro is for an unspecified duration and constitutes “at-will” employment, and that my obligations under this Agreement will continue in accordance with its express terms regardless of any changes in my title, position, duties, salary, compensation or benefits or other terms and conditions of employment. I also understand that any representation to the contrary by anyone is unauthorized and invalid unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of Korro. I acknowledge that I have the right to resign and Korro has the right to terminate my employment at any time, for any or no reason, with or without cause, by me or by Korro, with or without notice. In addition, this Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment, and, as an employee of Korro, I may have rights from and obligations to Korro that are not set forth in this Agreement. However, the terms of this Agreement shall control over any inconsistent terms in any other agreement or document.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. I SIGN THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY.
