William A. Sullivan

Dear Bill,

Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation (the “Company”, “AGTC”) is pleased to offer you a full-time position as Chief Financial Officer beginning at an annual base salary of $340,000 . Your net compensation will be less applicable deductions, taxes, and other amounts required by federal and state laws. This offer is contingent upon satisfactory completion of reference and background checks. Your start date will be August 7 ^th , 2017 or at a time mutually agreed by you and the company.

You will be eligible to participate in the management performance bonus plan. You will be eligible for a bonus of up to 35% of your then annual base salary based on completion of specific goals defined and agreed to at the beginning of each fiscal year (July 1st). The actual amount of the bonus will be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

As a Company employee, you will be eligible to enroll in the employee benefit plans and programs as described and provided by our leasing agent TriNet. AGTC is a drug free workplace and you will therefore be required to submit to a drug screening; authorization for this will be sent separately by TriNet. The Company contribution towards health insurance, and other benefits which you may choose, will be approximately $800 per month. If you need to cover any additional family members the Company will pay an additional amount equal to 50% of the difference between individual coverage and family coverage. The Company also offers its employees participation in a 401(k) plan also administered through TriNet and matches each employee’s contribution up to a maximum of 4% of their annual salary . Each employee has full control over investment vehicle selection and monitoring.

The Company has set up an Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan in which you are eligible to participate. Upon formal approval by the Board of Directors, you will be issued options with an exercise price as determined by the Board to be Fair Market Value at the time of their grant. These options will vest over a period of four years, with 25% vesting initially on the one-year anniversary of the date of your start date and 1/48 each month thereafter until all the shares subject to the option have vested on the fourth anniversary of your start date. If there is a Change of Control and you are not offered the position of CFO at the acquiring company, then immediately upon the Change of Control your options will fully and immediately vest and become exercisable. For purposes of this letter agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events other than in connection with the consummation of an initial public offering of the Company’s securities. In all respects, the definition of Change in Control shall be interpreted to comply with Section 409A, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto: (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) who is not a shareholder of the Company as of the date of this letter agreement or an affiliate thereof is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing

One Kendall Square, 1400W, Suite B14305, Cambridge, MA 02139  ●  617.843.5728  ●   agtc.com

50% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; (ii) the date of the consummation of a merger, scheme of arrangement or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation that has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, other than a merger, scheme of arrangement 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} more than fifty percent (50%) 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 (iii) the date of the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of alt or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Initially, you will be entitled to 20 days of Paid Time Off, based on your employment anniversary date in addition to the standard company holidays as described in our Employee Manual. The time will be accrued on a bi-weekly basis and may be used as soon as it is earned. You will receive one additional day per year for each full year of employment based on your anniversary date, up to a maximum of 30 days. This time is for you to use as needed for vacation, family business, sick days or other necessary time away from work. Such leave may be accumulated over three years but in no event shall your leave be accrued in excess of 45 days per year. If your employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, you shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any unpaid salary, any unused PTO accrued to the date of your termination of employment but not to exceed 45 days.

The Company has the right to modify, amend or terminate any such plans and programs described in this letter, as well as its Employee Manual, at any time at its sole discretion.

The Company will reimburse you for all reasonable and necessary traveling expenses and other disbursements actually incurred by you for or on behalf of the Company in the performance of your duties during your employment. This includes qualified transportation reimbursement for a transit pass and/or qualified parking up to the allowable IRS monthly limit. As with other employees, you shall be required to submit to the Company every two weeks reports of claims of such expenses and disbursements for approval and reimbursement by the Company.

Additionally, on a case by case basis we will review Company reimbursement for educational expenses . In cases where your educational courses are mutually beneficial to the Company, the Company will reimburse you for up to one class that you successfully complete per semester.

The Company conducts performance reviews on all personnel in July of each year. Consideration is given for salary increases annually during the review period but going through the review process in itself does not mandate that an employee will receive a raise. The employee’s performance and progression will dictate what ongoing salary levels and bonus opportunities will be.

As you are aware, your employment by the Company is intended to be full-time employment and you will be required to devote all your working time to the business of the Company and not to engage in any other business or private services to any other business either as an employee, officer, director, agent, contractor or consultant, except with the express written consent of the Company. You will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company, all information with respect to the Company’s finances, sales, profits, and other proprietary and confidential information acquired by you during your employment. In furtherance of this condition of your employment, the Company requires that you sign the Nondisclosure, Inventions and Non-Competition Agreement enclosed with this letter.

Your employment may also be terminated for cause by the Company at any time without advance written notice. “Cause” is defined for purposes of your employment as including (but it is not limited to) any of the following:

Upon termination of your employment with the Company and prior to your departure from the Company, you agree to submit to an exit interview for the purposes of reviewing this letter agreement, the Nondisclosure, Inventions and Non-Competition Agreement and the trade secrets of the Company, and surrendering to the Company all proprietary or confidential information and articles belonging to the Company.

Dear Larry:

This letter agreement (“Agreement”) will confirm the terms of your employment transition and separation from Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation (“AGTC” or the “Company”), a Florida company. This Agreement will become effective on the eighth day following your execution of it, as described in Section 9 below (the “Effective Date”).

1. Transition and Resignation of Employment. Your voluntary resignation of your employment with AGTC will take effect on September 14, 2017, or a date mutually agreed to by the parties. For the purposes of this Agreement, your last date of employment is the “Separation Date.” During the period between the date of this Agreement and the Separation Date (the “Transition Period”), you will focus your efforts on assisting in the transitioning of your current duties and responsibilities, in consultation with and at the direction of the Company’s CEO. During the Transition Period, you will continue to receive your current salary and benefits. You understand and acknowledge that, from and after the Separation Date, you shall have no authority and shall not represent yourself as an employee or agent of the Company or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that you will cooperate with the Company’s reasonable requests for information and assistance in connection with the transitioning of your duties.

2. Bonus. Contingent on your execution of this Agreement and it becoming effective as described in Section 8, you will be eligible to receive a bonus in an amount up to $119,350 to be determined in the Company’s sole discretion based on your achievement of the following goals: (i) successful year-end audit with removal of material weakness, (ii) a Sarbanes-Oxley compliant accounting manual is completed, and (iii) successful implementation of a process for monthly financial reporting by department. The bonus, if any, will be determined and paid out by the Board and/or applicable Board committee promptly after its determination.

3. COBRA. Your participation in all Company benefit plans and programs will end on the last day of the month in which the Separation Date occurs. You understand your legal right, pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), after the Separation Date and upon timely completion of the appropriate forms, to continue at your own expense, your medical and dental insurance coverage. Provided that you execute and do not revoke this Agreement, should you elect COBRA

continuation coverage, for the one-year period following the Separation Date, the Company will contribute to the cost of such coverage at the same level it contributed to your coverage immediately prior to the Separation Date, so long as the Company sponsors a group health plan and you remain eligible for COBRA coverage. The COBRA payments described herein will be made by the Company directly to the Company’s third-party COBRA administrator. You will be responsible for paying the portion of the COBRA premium not paid by the Company.

4. Pay and Benefits Acknowledgement. You acknowledge and understand that, except for the specific financial consideration and other benefits contained in this Agreement, you are not entitled to and shall not receive any additional compensation, consideration or benefits from the Company.

5. Options. Pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Equity and Incentive Plan, the Company has issued you options (“Existing Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Existing Option Shares”). In addition, the Company shall grant you an option (the “New Option” and together with the Existing Options, the “Options”) to purchase 4,168 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Option Shares” and together with the Existing Option Shares, the “Option Shares”) on or prior the Separation Date, with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The New Option shall vest in equal monthly installments over four months, with the first installment vesting on July 31, 2017 and each successive installment vesting on the last day of each month thereafter, subject to your continued employment with the Company. After the Separation Date, no further vesting will occur, and you will not be able to exercise the Options to purchase any Option Shares that are not vested Option Shares. After the Separation Date, you may exercise the Options in accordance with their terms to purchase some or all of the Vested Shares until the date (the “Option Termination Date”) that is twenty-four (24) months after the Separation Date. On or after the Option Termination Date, the Options will have terminated in accordance with its terms, and you will no longer be able to exercise the Options to purchase any Option Shares. By signing this Agreement, you are agreeing that the Options will be amended to provide for this twenty-four month period for exercise. You acknowledge and understand that amending your Options to provide for an additional period of time to exercise following the Separation Date will cause the Options to no longer qualify as Incentive Stock Options, that they will automatically become Non-statutory Stock Options, and that upon exercise, any spread between the exercise price and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at that time will become taxable at ordinary income rates, and you agree to satisfy any withholding obligation of the Company with respect to this income.

6. Covenants by You. You acknowledge and agree to the following:

(a) Upon the Separation Date, you will return all property of the Company, including, without limitation, company credit cards, calling cards and any contracts or proposals, Company, documentation, files and other materials relating to the Company, whether in hard copy or electronic (or other) form.

If you are made a party or threatened to be made a party to any investigation, lawsuit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of anything done or not done by you pursuant to this Section 6(d), the Company will indemnify you against any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by you in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding, so long as you, as determined by the board of directors of the Company acting in good faith, acted in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe your conduct was unlawful.
