2.Collaboration Program.

2.1Collaboration Program.

(a)General. During the Collaboration Program Term, the Parties will conduct the Collaboration Program on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to identify, research and Develop Product Candidates. [***] Under the Collaboration Program, Bluebird will be responsible for all research and Development activities performed through completion of the initial Phase 1 Study with respect to each Product Candidate, and Celgene will be a critical advisor for oncology drug development, ex vivo human cell processing, assay development and release testing. Bluebird will keep Celgene reasonably informed of Bluebird’s research and Development activities and will reasonably consult with Celgene and reasonably consider Celgene’s comments and advice with respect to all material decisions relating to such activities. Research and Development activities of the Parties with respect to the Collaboration Program will be described in a “Collaboration Plan,” an initial version of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E. Any modifications or amendments to the Collaboration Plan that are proposed by either Party will be subject to review by the JSC pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 3.2(d) and to the prior written approval of both Parties. The selection of Product Candidates for additional work under the Collaboration Program will be subject to the oversight and supervision of the JSC, provided that if the JSC is unable to unanimously agree with respect to the selection of a Product Candidate for additional work under the Collaboration Program, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, have such dispute referred to the Bluebird CEO and the Celgene CEO or in either case his or her designee (who will be a senior executive), who will attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by negotiation and consultation [***], and if not so resolved, Bluebird will have the tie-breaking vote, provided that if a Business Combination has occurred with respect to Bluebird, Celgene will have the tie-breaking vote.

(b)Obligations Under the Collaboration Plan. Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform (itself or through its Affiliates or by permitted subcontracting pursuant to Section 2.4) its respective obligations under the Collaboration Plan, and will cooperate with and provide reasonable support to the other Party in such other Party’s performance of its responsibilities under the Collaboration Plan. The Collaboration Plan will not assign to Celgene, and Bluebird will not request that Celgene perform, any research or Development activity that would require a sublicense under any Bluebird In-License. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the

Collaboration Plan assigns to Celgene, or Bluebird requests that Celgene perform, any such research or Development activity, Bluebird will be responsible for any and all obligations to its licensors under any Bluebird In-License that arise out of such research or Development. [***] The Parties acknowledge and agree, however, that no outcome or success is or can be assured and that failure to achieve desired results will not in and of itself constitute a breach or default of any obligation in this Agreement (notwithstanding the focus of the Collaboration Program described above).

(c)Manufacturing.

(i)The Parties mutually agree that, subject to mutual agreement on a work order under that certain Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time), as a part of the Collaboration Program, Celgene will use and operate an existing cGMP suite, for the processing of the Lead Product Candidate which incorporates Vectors and associated Payloads supplied by Bluebird [***]. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such additional agreements as may be necessary for Celgene to do so, including a Vector and Payload supply agreement. The Parties will determine which Party will have responsibility for (A) the processing of the Lead Product Candidate which incorporates Vectors and associated Payloads supplied by Bluebird for use in any Clinical Studies [***], and (B) the processing of any other Product Candidates which incorporates Vectors and associated Payloads supplied by Bluebird for any Clinical Studies of such other Product Candidates [***].

(ii)Prior to or during initial proof of concept studies, Celgene and Bluebird will mutually assess the capability for sole supply manufacture of Vector supply, and agree to provisions to ensure the Manufacture and distribution, of Vector Supplies, in adequate quantities, of adequate quality, and in acceptable timeframes so as to not delay clinical Development and commercialization of Product Candidates. Multiple sites may be required to supply and store inventories of Vector supplies.

(d)Collaboration Program Term. Unless terminated or extended pursuant to the terms hereof, the term of the Collaboration Program will commence on the Original Agreement Date and continue until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Amendment Date the “Collaboration Program Term”).

Bluebird will exclusively own the INDs for the Development of Product Candidates and will, after reasonable consultation with Celgene under the oversight of the JSC: (i) determine the regulatory plans and strategies for Product Candidates, (ii) prepare and file all Regulatory Filings with respect to Product Candidates, and (iii) be responsible for conducting all meetings with Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Development of Product Candidates, in each case unless and until such time that such Product Candidate becomes an Optioned Candidate. Bluebird will provide Celgene with reasonable prior notice of all such meetings with Regulatory Authorities, and Celgene will have the right to participate in such meetings.

(h)Licenses.

(i)During the Term, Bluebird hereby grants to Celgene the co-exclusive (with Bluebird and its Affiliates), worldwide, royalty-free right and license in the Field, without the right to grant sublicenses (other than to permitted subcontractors under Section 2.4), under Collaboration IP solely owned by Bluebird pursuant to Section 2.1(f) and Bluebird’s interest in jointly owned Collaboration IP, in each case solely to conduct research and Development under the Collaboration Plan as part of the Collaboration Program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as may be permitted under an applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement, Celgene will not practice or otherwise use any Collaboration IP solely owned by

Bluebird pursuant to Section 2.1(f) other than in accordance with the license granted in this Section 2.1(h)(i).

(ii)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term and thereafter, Celgene hereby grants to Bluebird a worldwide, fully paid-up, non-exclusive license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, under (A) Collaboration IP solely owned by Celgene pursuant to Section 2.1(f), (B) all improvements to, or modifications or derivative works of, any Bluebird IP that are discovered, created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice by or on behalf of Celgene or its Affiliates during the Collaboration Program Term in the course of Developing an Optioned Candidate, Elected Candidate or Licensed Product under a Development & Commercialization Agreement, and (C) [***], in each case of (A) through (C), that are related to the Manufacture of Vectors, solely to research, Develop, Manufacture and commercialize Vectors, provided that (I) the foregoing license does not include any Patents and Know-How for Manufacturing (other than Manufacturing of Vectors), (II) [***], (III) during the Term and the term of any applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement, the foregoing license does not include the right to research, Develop, Manufacture or commercialize any Vectors that are used in connection with Optioned Candidates, Elected Candidates or Licensed Products under such Development & Commercialization Agreement, other than with and for Celgene, and (IV) [***]. Further, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, upon written notice to Celgene, Bluebird may decline the taking of or terminate such sublicense from Celgene with respect to any Patents, Know-How or Materials that are in-licensed by Celgene pursuant to a Celgene New In-License that is an Applicable Celgene In-License. If any royalty, milestone or other payment, [***] becomes due under any Celgene New In-License that is attributable to Bluebird as a sublicensee thereunder with respect to such research, Development, Manufacture or commercialization of Vectors, Celgene will pay same, provided that Bluebird will reimburse Celgene for any such payment within thirty (30) days of Bluebird’s receipt of Celgene’s written invoice therefor, and Bluebird’s failure to pay such reimbursement within such time period will entitle Celgene to terminate Bluebird’s sublicense under the applicable Celgene New In-License upon thirty (30) days written notice. Upon Bluebird’s request, Celgene agrees to provide Bluebird with a copy of any Celgene New In-License that is an Applicable Celgene In-License under which Bluebird is granted a sublicense under this Section 2.1(h)(ii), which Celgene may reasonably redact (other than with respect to provisions applicable to the determination of Bluebird’s reimbursement obligations under this Section 2.1(h)(ii)).

(iii)[***]

(i)Celgene IP. If either Party desires that Celgene make available any Patents, Know-How or Material Controlled by Celgene or its Affiliates (other than pursuant to a Celgene In-License, which is governed by Section 4.1(c), and other than Collaboration IP) for use in the Collaboration Program, such Party will notify the JSC and the JSC will discuss whether or not such Patents, Know-How or Materials would be useful for the Collaboration Program. If the JSC concludes that such Patents, Know-How or Materials would be useful for the Collaboration Program, the JSC will invite Celgene to make such intellectual property available to the Collaboration Program. Celgene will have sole discretion whether or not to make such intellectual property available to the Collaboration Program, and if Celgene so elects it will make such intellectual property available by providing the JSC with written notice specifying the Patents,

Know-How and/or Materials that will be made available to the Collaboration Program as “Celgene IP”. Except by such written notice provided to the JSC, no Patents, Know-How or Materials Controlled by Celgene or its Affiliates (other than pursuant to a Celgene In-License, which is governed by Section 4.1(c) and other than Collaboration IP) will be made available for, or used in, the Collaboration Program, and no such Patents, Know-How or Materials shall be considered “Celgene IP”.

2.2Collaboration Program Expenses. Except for any amounts that may be payable by Celgene under a Vector and associated Payload supply agreement described in Section 2.1(c), each of Bluebird and Celgene is and will remain solely responsible for all of its internal costs and expenses that are incurred by or on its behalf in connection with the performance of the Collaboration Plan. Subject to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 6.4 and 7.2, and except for any amounts that may be payable by Celgene under a Vector and associated Payload supply agreement described in Section 2.1(c) or a Celgene In-License, Bluebird will be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to Third Parties in connection with the performance of the Collaboration Plan.

2.3Collaboration Program Records, Reports and Materials.

(a)Records. Each Party will maintain, or cause to be maintained, records of its activities under the Collaboration Program in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for scientific, Patent and regulatory purposes, that will properly reflect all work included in the Collaboration Program, for a period of at least ten (10) years after the creation of such records, but in no event less than required by applicable Laws. Each Party will have the right to request and receive a copy of any such records.

(b)Collaboration Program Reports. Each Party will furnish to the JSC a high-level summary written report within thirty (30) days after each June 30^th and December 31^st occurring during the Collaboration Program Term, describing its progress under the Collaboration Plan as part of the Collaboration Program during the previous six (6) month period. Each Party agrees that it will promptly respond to the other Party’s reasonable questions regarding any of such Party’s reports.

(c)Materials.

(i)Each Party will, during the Collaboration Program Term, as a matter of course as described in the Collaboration Plan or upon the other Party’s reasonable written request, furnish to each other samples of Materials that are in such Party’s Control and are necessary for the other Party to carry out its responsibilities under the Collaboration Plan, provided that, prior to Celgene providing any Materials to Bluebird, Celgene will notify Bluebird of the cost of such Materials and Bluebird may elect whether or not to receive such Materials from Celgene. Subject to the foregoing, after Celgene has provided Materials costing more than [***], Bluebird will reimburse Celgene for the costs of any additional Materials.

(ii)Each Party will use such Materials only in accordance with the Collaboration Plan and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any instructions provided by the Party furnishing the Materials. Except with the prior written consent of the supplying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Party receiving any Materials will not distribute or otherwise allow the release of Materials to any

Affiliate (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries) or Third Party, except for subcontracting as permitted hereunder. All Materials delivered to the receiving Party will remain the sole property of the supplying Party and will be used in compliance with all applicable Law. The Materials supplied under this Agreement will be used with prudence and appropriate caution in any experimental work because not all of their characteristics may be known.

2.4Permitted Subcontracting. Each Party may subcontract any of its activities to be performed under the Collaboration Plan to an Affiliate or Third Party, provided that any such Affiliate or Third Party will have entered into a written agreement with such Party that includes terms and conditions protecting and limiting use and disclosure of Confidential Information and Materials and Know-How at least to the same extent as under this Agreement, and requiring such Affiliate or Third Party and its personnel to assign to such Party all right, title and interest in and to any Patents, Know-How and Materials created, conceived or developed in connection with the performance of subcontracted activities to the extent required to research, Develop, Manufacture and commercialize Product Candidates, provided that with respect to Third Parties that are academic or other non-commercial Persons, a Party will be required only to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such assignment, and in the absence of such assignment, the Parties will mutually agree on the rights (e.g., a license or option to license) to be obtained from such academic or non-commercial Persons. Any such subcontracting activities will be described in the reports for the Collaboration Program required by Section 2.3(b).

3.Governance.

3.1Management. Management of the Collaboration Program activities will be under the responsibility of one person to be designated by Celgene (the “Celgene Program Director”) and one person to be designated by Bluebird (the “Bluebird Program Director,” and together with the Celgene Program Director, the “Program Directors”).

3.2Joint Steering Committee.

(a)Steering Committee. The Parties will establish a Joint Steering Committee, comprised of three (3) representatives of Bluebird and three (3) representatives of Celgene (the “JSC”). Each Party may replace its representatives on the JSC or its Program Director at any time upon written notice to the other Party. With the consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), each Party may invite non-voting employees and consultants (including Xx. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx) to attend meetings of the JSC, subject to their agreement to be bound to the same extent as a permitted subcontractor under Section 2.4.

(b)Meetings. While in existence, the JSC will meet each calendar quarter and, at a minimum, two (2) of such meetings each calendar year will be in person (which in-person meeting will be held at locations mutually agreed by the Parties). Meetings of the JSC will be effective only if at least one (1) representative of each Party is present or participating. Each Party will be responsible for all of its own expenses of participating in the meetings. The Parties will endeavor to schedule meetings of the JSC at least six (6) months in advance. Bluebird will prepare and circulate a meeting agenda prior to each such meeting. The Parties will alternate in preparing written minutes of such meeting, and the preparing Party will circulate such minutes within fifteen (15) days after such meeting. The Parties will agree on the minutes of each meeting promptly, but in no event later than the next meeting of the JSC.

(c)Responsibilities. The JSC will oversee and supervise the overall performance of the Collaboration Plan and within such scope will:

(i)Periodically review the Parties’ efforts and progress under the Collaboration Plan;

(ii)Review the Collaboration Program;

(iii)Review any proposed modifications or amendments to the Collaboration Plan and the Collaboration Program;

(xi)Address such other matters relating to the activities of the Parties under this Agreement as either Party may bring before the JSC, including any matters that are expressly for the JSC to decide as provided in this Agreement; and

(xii)Attempt to resolve any disputes on an informal basis.

(d)Decision-making. The three (3) JSC representatives of each Party will collectively have one (1) vote, and the JSC will make decisions only by unanimous consent in the sole discretion of each Party with respect to its vote. [***]

(e)Limits on JSC Authority. Each Party will retain the rights, powers and discretion granted to it under this Agreement and no such rights, powers, or discretion will be delegated to or vested in the JSC unless such delegation or vesting of rights is expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Parties expressly so agree in writing. The JSC will not have the power to, nor will the Party having the tie-breaking vote in the JSC have the power to (i) amend, modify or waive compliance with this Agreement (other than as expressly permitted hereunder), (ii) alter, increase or expand the Parties’ rights or obligations under this Agreement, (iii) determine that a Party has fulfilled any obligations under this Agreement or that a Party has breached any obligation under this Agreement, (iv) make a decision that is expressly stated to require the mutual agreement of the Parties, (v) amend or modify the Collaboration Plan, (vi) change the Collaboration Program in

(f)Term. The JSC and any subcommittees thereof will cease to exist three (3) months after the end of the Collaboration Program Term.

3.3Patent Committee.

(a)The Parties will (i) each designate representative(s) to consult with the other Party’s representative(s) with respect to Patent ownership, Prosecution and Maintenance, enforcement and defense matters (the “Patent Liaisons”), and (ii) establish a patent committee (the “Patent Committee”). The purpose of the Patent Committee is to determine ownership of intellectual property, and facilitate the discussion and coordination of Prosecution and Maintenance, enforcement and defense matters, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Patent Liaisons will be the primary point of contact for the Parties regarding the foregoing activities and will facilitate all such activities hereunder, including preparing and finalizing minutes of the Patent Committee and will be responsible for assisting the Patent Committee in performing its oversight responsibilities.

(b)Decisions. All decisions of the Patent Committee will be made by consensus, with each Party having one vote. If the Patent Committee cannot agree on a matter within the Patent Committee’s authority within five (5) days after it has met and attempted to reach such decision, then, either Party may, by written notice to the other, have such issue referred to the Program Directors for resolution. The Parties’ respective Program Directors will meet within five (5) days after such matter is referred to them, and will negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter. If the Program Directors are unable to resolve the matter within five (5) days after the matter is referred to them, then the decision will be resolved as set forth below:

(i)IP Ownership. The Patent Committee will determine ownership of Collaboration IP in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.1(f); provided that the Patent Committee may allocate ownership of a particular item of intellectual property to improve the prospects of obtaining patent protection with respect to such item of intellectual property, even if such allocation is not in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1(f), so long as the Parties mutually agree to such allocation. In the event the Patent Committee cannot agree on a matter regarding ownership of an item of intellectual property, and the Program Directors are unable to resolve such matter, then such dispute will be resolved by a Third Party patent counsel selected by the Patent Committee who (and whose firm) is not, and was not at any time during the five (5) years prior to such dispute, an employee, consultant, legal advisor, officer, director or stockholder of, and does not have any conflict of interest with respect to, either Party. Such patent counsel will determine ownership of such intellectual property in accordance with U.S. patent law and Section 2.1(f). Expenses of the patent counsel will be shared equally by the Parties.

(ii)Patent Prosecution. The Patent Committee will discuss material issues and provide input to each other regarding the Prosecution and Maintenance, enforcement and defense of Bluebird IP, Celgene IP and jointly owned Collaboration IP. The Patent Liaisons will be responsible for coordinating the implementation of each Party’s strategies for the protection

of the foregoing intellectual property rights related to Product Candidates. All final decisions related to the Prosecution and Maintenance, enforcement or defense of any Bluebird IP, Celgene IP and jointly-owned Collaboration IP will be made by the Party with the right to control such Prosecution and Maintenance, enforcement or defense, as applicable, as set forth in Section 7.

4.Third Party Licenses.

4.1New Licenses.

(a)Identification. [***]

(b)Bluebird Contribution to the Collaboration . [***]

(e)Celgene Applicable/New In-Licenses. With respect to each Applicable Celgene In-License that is a Celgene New In-License:

(i)Celgene will be solely responsible for any upfront payment payable to the licensor under such Applicable Celgene In-License.

(ii)Except as provided in Sections 2.1(h)(ii) and 5.6, Celgene and Bluebird will each be responsible for [***] of any other payments required to be paid to the licensor under such Applicable Celgene In-License in respect of Collaboration Program activities or the research, Development, Manufacture or commercialization of Product Candidates, but excluding any payments that are (A) triggered by the grant of a sublicense under the Applicable Celgene In-License (other than sublicenses granted by Bluebird or its sublicensees), (B) annual fees paid to maintain the Applicable Celgene In-License in effect, (C) Patent Costs, (D) any payments that are royalty payments (including sales-based milestone payments), and (E) payments resulting from Celgene’s breach of the Applicable Celgene In-License not attributable to Bluebird or its contract Third Parties or sublicensees, which excluded payments will be the sole responsibility of Celgene; provided that Bluebird’s [***] share of such payments will become due and payable within [***] days after the execution of the first Development & Commercialization Agreement.

(iii)Any payments that are royalties payable by Celgene or its Affiliates under the Applicable Celgene In-License will be subject to Section 4.3(d) of such License Agreement or Section 11.3(d) of any Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement, as applicable.

(f)Celgene Pre-Existing/Applicable In-Licenses. With respect to any Applicable Celgene In-License that is a Celgene Pre-Existing In-License, except as provided in Sections 2.1(h)(ii) and 5.6, Celgene will be solely responsible for all payments required to be paid to the licensor under such Applicable Celgene In-License, and any payments that are royalties payable by Celgene or its Affiliates under the Applicable Celgene In-License will be subject to Section 4.3(d) of such License Agreement or Section 11.3(d) of any Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement, as applicable.

4.2Product Candidate In-Licenses. Other than with respect to Baylor as contemplated by the Baylor Agreements, which are governed by Sections 4.5 and 5.5 hereof, in the event that the Parties desire to enter into an agreement with any Third Party to obtain rights to Patents, Know-How or Materials that would constitute solely a new Product Candidate (if developed pursuant to this Agreement) in the Field, as opposed to only being necessary or useful for supporting research, Development or commercialization of existing Product Candidates (a “Product Candidate In-

License”), the Parties will jointly determine a strategy for endeavoring to procure rights under such Patents, Know-How or Materials, including with respect to allocation of the Parties’ responsibilities for any payments that may become due during the Collaboration Program Term under such Product Candidate In-License. Any such Product Candidate In-License addressing any such new Product Candidate will require the prior written approval of both Parties, will be with both Parties and will be committed to the Collaboration Program (and not the Parties on an individual basis). Accordingly, any product candidate in-licensed pursuant to a Product Candidate In-License will be a “Product Candidate” hereunder, and will only be Developed or commercialized by either Party as a part of the Collaboration Program or under an executed Development & Commercialization Agreement, unless and until such Product Candidate becomes a Declined Product Candidate in accordance with Section 5.6. If the Parties agree that any Patents, Know-How or Materials in-licensed under a Product Candidate In-License will be used to Develop and commercialize a Product Candidate under a Development & Commercialization Agreement, the Parties will discuss in good faith and agree on the allocation of the Parties’ applicable rights and obligations thereto, including with respect to amounts payable under such Product Candidate In-License (other than a Baylor Product License), which terms will be set forth in such Development & Commercialization Agreement. If an in-license from a Third Party of rights to Patents, Materials or Know-How that would constitute a new Product Candidate also includes other rights that potentially have broader applicability (e.g., that may be useful for supporting research, Development or commercialization of Product Candidates that are against Target Antigens different than the Target Antigen in the Product Candidate in such Third Party in-license), such in-license will be treated as a “Product Candidate In-License” hereunder and the Parties will discuss in good faith the allocation of such other rights and obligations, along with costs, in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 4.1 and this Section 4.2. The Parties acknowledge that the terms of this Section 4.2 may need to be discussed and modified with respect to any particular Product Candidate In-License (other than a Baylor Product License) depending on the then existing facts and circumstances relating to such Product Candidate In-License.

4.3Maintenance of Bluebird In-Licenses. Bluebird (a) will duly perform and observe all of its obligations under the Bluebird In-Licenses in all material respects and maintain in full force and effect the Bluebird In-Licenses, and (b) will not, without Celgene’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) amend, modify, restate, cancel, supplement or waive any provision of any Bluebird In-License, or grant any consent thereunder, or agree to do any of the foregoing, or (ii) exercise any right to terminate any Bluebird In-License, in each case ((i) and (ii)) that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any respect the rights of Celgene under this Agreement or any potential or executed Development & Commercialization Agreement. Bluebird will provide Celgene with written notice as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) business days) after becoming aware of any of the following: (A) any material breach or default by Bluebird or any of its Affiliates of any covenant, agreement or other provision of any Bluebird In-License, (B) any notice or claim from the counterparty to any Bluebird In-License terminating or providing notice of termination of any Bluebird In-License, (C) any notice or claim alleging any breach of default under any Bluebird In-License, or (D) the existence of any facts, circumstances or events which alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under or right to terminate

any Bluebird In-License. If Bluebird fails to pay any amounts due under any Bluebird In-License and if such nonpayment would permit the counterparty to such Bluebird In-License to terminate or suspend the same or any rights thereunder, Celgene will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to pay such amounts on Bluebird’s behalf, and any amounts so paid by Celgene may be taken by Celgene as a credit against any amounts payable to Bluebird under this Agreement or any Development & Commercialization Agreement.

4.4Maintenance of Celgene In-Licenses. Celgene [***] will duly perform and observe all of its obligations under the Applicable Celgene In-Licenses in all material respects and maintain in full force and effect the Applicable Celgene In-Licenses in the Field [***]. Celgene will provide Bluebird with written notice as promptly as practicable (and in any event within [***] business days) after becoming aware of any of the following: (A) any material breach or default by Celgene or any of its Affiliates of any covenant, agreement or other provision of any Applicable Celgene In-License, (B) any notice or claim from the counterparty to any Applicable Celgene In-License terminating or providing notice of termination of any Applicable Celgene In-License, (C) any notice or claim alleging any breach of default under any Applicable Celgene In-License, or (D) the existence of any facts, circumstances or events which alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under or right to terminate any Applicable Celgene In-License. [***] If Celgene fails to pay any amounts due under any Applicable Celgene In-License and if such nonpayment would permit the counterparty to such Applicable Celgene In-License to terminate or suspend the same or any rights thereunder, Bluebird will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to pay such amounts on Celgene’s behalf, and Celgene will reimburse Bluebird for any such payments within [***] days of Celgene’s receipt of Bluebird’s written invoice therefor.

4.5Baylor Agreements.

(a)Maintenance. Celgene [***] will duly perform and observe all of its obligations under the Baylor Agreements in all material respects [***].

(b)Notices. Each Party will provide the other Party with written notice as promptly as practicable (and in any event within [***] business days) after becoming aware of any of the following: (i) any material breach or default by such Party or any of its Affiliates of any covenant, agreement or other provision of any Baylor Agreement, (ii) any notice or claim from the counterparty to any Baylor Agreement terminating or providing notice of termination of any Baylor Agreement, (iii) any notice or claim alleging any breach of default under any Baylor Agreement, or (iv) the existence of any facts, circumstances or events which alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under or right to terminate any Baylor Agreement. If Celgene fails to pay any amounts due under any Baylor Agreement and if such nonpayment would permit Baylor to terminate or suspend the same or any rights thereunder, Bluebird will have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such amounts on Celgene’s behalf, and Celgene will reimburse Bluebird for any such payments within thirty (30) days of Celgene’s receipt of Bluebird’s written invoice therefor.

(c)Exercise of Rights. [***] Celgene will not exercise any rights under any of the Baylor Agreements without first consulting with Bluebird and obtaining Bluebird’s prior consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that no such consent will be required (A) for Celgene to enter into a Baylor Product License, (B) to terminate any Baylor Agreement other than a Baylor Product License, (C) after consultation with Bluebird, to terminate any Baylor Product License provided Celgene either (I) intends to maintain in force the corresponding Development & Commercialization Agreement or (II) if such Development & Commercialization Agreement is not intended to remain in effect, offers to assign such Baylor Product License to Bluebird before initiating termination of same, (D) for Celgene to exercise any licenses or other similar license rights (such as the right to sublicense) granted to Celgene under any Baylor Agreement, (E) for Celgene to exercise any rights under the Platform License Agreement that do not require Bluebird’s consent under the sublicense agreement between Celgene and Bluebird under the Baylor Platform License, and (F) for Celgene to extend or not extend the term of any Baylor Agreement [***]. In addition, Bluebird may exercise its third-party beneficiary rights under any of the Baylor Agreements and Celgene will not interfere with any such exercise by Bluebird. For avoidance of doubt, Celgene’s election to not exercise a right, such as an election to not provide research or development funding to Baylor, will not be deemed “an exercise of rights” under the Baylor Agreements for purposes of this Section 4.5(c). The foregoing will apply, without limitation, to the Prosecution and Maintenance, and enforcement and defense, of all Patents, Know-How and Materials licensed under any of the Baylor Agreements, provided that Celgene will not require Bluebird’s consent to terminate Prosecution and Maintenance, or to commence, conduct or terminate the enforcement and defense of, any Patents, Know-How and Materials licensed under any of the Baylor Agreements so long as Celgene provides Bluebird with written notice thereof and, if permitted by the Baylor Agreements (including as a third-party beneficiary thereunder), affords Bluebird the right to take such actions, which if taken by Bluebird will be at Bluebird’s sole expense, provided that in such an event under the Baylor Platform License, (x) Celgene will agree in writing with Bluebird not to exercise (or grant others the right to exercise) any rights to any such Patent for which Prosecution or Maintenance has been terminated or a defense has not been commenced or conducted or has been terminated, and (y) Bluebird will solely control and not share any recoveries from any such enforcement, in all such cases subject to the Baylor License Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.5(c), if Celgene determines in good faith that any action or inaction under any of the Baylor Agreements is legally required of Celgene (under any of the Baylor Agreements or otherwise) or is required to maintain any rights under the Baylor Agreements (including with respect to confidentiality and indemnification), or if Bluebird does not promptly respond to Celgene’s request after prior written notice to Bluebird, Celgene will have the right to take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but will remain subject to the terms of the Baylor Agreements, this Agreement and any Development & Commercialization Agreements.

(d)Other Agreements. During the Term, other than as permitted by the Baylor Agreements and pursuant to Section 2.1(f)(ii), neither Party nor its Affiliates will enter into any agreements with Baylor regarding the Baylor Field, nor collaborate with Baylor in the Baylor Field, nor have Baylor work or fund work by Baylor in the Baylor Field, without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). It is understood and agreed that references to “Baylor” in this Section 4.5(d) include all faculty

members, scientists, employees and students working at Baylor. This Section 4.5(d) will not apply to any Business Program, subject to the requirements of the last proviso in Section 2.1(e).

(e)Development & Commercialization Agreements. Celgene will not enter into any Baylor Product License without also entering into the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement. For clarity this obligation will apply to all product candidates subject to any option rights under the Baylor Research Agreement, even if this Agreement has terminated or expired.

(f)Payments. Except as set forth below, Celgene will be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all amounts accrued and required to be paid under (i) the Baylor Research Agreement for as long as Celgene is the contracting party thereunder, (ii) the Baylor Platform License for as long as Celgene is the contracting party thereunder (save for those amounts for which Bluebird is responsible under the sublicense agreement between Celgene and Bluebird under the Baylor Platform License), and (iii) all Baylor Product Licenses that correspond to License Agreements between Celgene and Bluebird for as long as Celgene is the contracting party thereunder, provided that any royalties payable under such Baylor Product Licenses will be subject to Section 4.3(d) of such License Agreement, and provided further that the foregoing will not be interpreted to require Celgene to make any payments under the Baylor Agreements that are payments which Celgene has the option to pay or not pay under the terms of the Baylor Agreements. Bluebird will be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of amounts required to be paid to Baylor to fund the research and Development of Product Candidates by Baylor through Phase 1 Study if Bluebird elects by written notice to Celgene to have Baylor work under the Collaboration Program and such Product Candidates are included in the Collaboration Plan; provided that Baylor-Only Candidates will not be included in this payment obligation. All amounts accrued and required to be paid under those Baylor Product Licenses arising from the applicable Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreements between Celgene and Bluebird will be treated as follows: (A) with respect to the Development and commercialization of Elected Candidate and Licensed Product for U.S. Administration thereunder, such amounts will be treated as U.S. Development Expenses or Allowable Expenses thereunder, (B) with respect to the Development and commercialization of Elected Candidate and Licensed Product for both U.S. Administration and ROW Administration thereunder, such amounts will allocated to and be treated as U.S. Development Expenses or Allowable Expenses thereunder in accordance with Section 4.3(b) thereunder, and (C) with respect to the Development and Commercialization of Elected Candidate and Licensed Product solely for ROW Administration thereunder (including the Manufacture of Vectors and associated Payloads therefor pursuant to Section 7.4 thereunder), Celgene will be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all such amounts, provided that any royalties payable under such Baylor Product License will be subject to Section 11.3(d) thereunder.

(g)Recoveries. All recoveries arising from any enforcement or defense of any “Licensed Intellectual Property” (as defined in the Baylor Agreements) licensed to Celgene under any of the Baylor Product Licenses will be, after deducting any amounts owed to Baylor thereunder, subject to the recovery provisions of the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement.

(h)Baylor Declined Product. If Celgene receives any payments from Baylor pursuant to Section 4.8(b) of the Baylor Research Agreement with respect to the commercialization of a “Declined Product” (as defined in the Baylor Research Agreement), Celgene will pay to Bluebird (i) [***] percent [***] of any such payment paid to Celgene with respect to a Declined Product that is not a Baylor-Only Candidate, and (ii) [***] percent [***] of any such payment paid to Celgene with respect to a Declined Product that is a Baylor-Only Candidate, in each case ((i) and (ii)) within thirty (30) days of Celgene’s receipt thereof.

(i)Survival. This Section 4.5 will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

4.6No Implied Rights. No license, sublicense or other right is or will be created or granted hereunder by implication, estoppel or otherwise. Any licenses, sublicenses or rights will be granted only as expressly provided in this Agreement or any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement.

5.Option for Licensed Candidates.

5.1Option Period. Bluebird will provide written notice to Celgene of the enrollment of the first patient in each initial Clinical Study for each Product Candidate (the “Clinical Study Initiation Notice”). On a Product Candidate-by-Product Candidate basis, from the period commencing on the date of a Clinical Study Initiation Notice for such Product Candidate, and ending [***] thereafter (the “Celgene Option Period”), Celgene will have the exclusive option to take a license to such Product Candidate. Celgene may exercise such option by providing to Bluebird, prior to the expiration of the Celgene Option Period, (a) written notice that a Product Candidate is selected by Celgene to be an Optioned Candidate hereunder, and (b) the additional information set forth in Exhibit G (collectively, the “Celgene Option Notice”). A separate Celgene Option Notice and Initial Option Fee will be required for each Product Candidate optioned by Celgene pursuant to this Section 5.1, and Celgene will pay to Bluebird the Initial Option Fee for each such Optioned Candidate as set forth in Section 6.2. Subject to Section 5.6, (i) if Celgene does not exercise its option for a Product Candidate prior to the expiration of the applicable Celgene Option Period, the option and other rights granted to Celgene under this Section 5 with respect to a Product Candidate will terminate in full and will no longer be exercisable, and (ii) if (A) Bluebird provides a Clinical Study Initiation Notice for the Lead Product Candidate, and (B) Celgene does not exercise its option for such Lead Product Candidate prior to the expiration of the applicable Celgene Option Period, then all options and other rights granted to Celgene under this Section 5 with respect to the Next Generation Product Candidate and any other Product Candidate or Optioned Candidate (unless Celgene has previously exercised its option for such Lead Product Candidate) will terminate in full and will no longer be exercisable, and all remaining Celgene Option Periods will expire.

5.2Celgene’s Exercise of Option. Within [***] of Celgene’s delivery of a Celgene Option Notice to Bluebird, Celgene (or an Affiliate designated by Celgene) and Bluebird will enter into a License Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A with respect to such Optioned Candidate (updating the appendices thereto), modified, if appropriate, as provided in Sections 4.2 or 5.5, and subject to Section 5.8. Upon execution of such License Agreement, such Optioned Candidate will be an “Elected Candidate” thereunder.

5.3Co-Promotion/Co-Development Option Exercise. On an Optioned Candidate-by-Optioned Candidate basis, within [***] after completion of the initial Phase 1 Study with respect to such Optioned Candidate, and subject to Section 5.8, Bluebird may exercise an option, by delivery of written notice to Celgene (the “Bluebird Option Notice”) to co-promote and co-Develop such Optioned Candidate in the U.S. as set forth in the Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, provided that (a) if Bluebird does not exercise such option to co-promote and co-Develop the Optioned Candidate that is the Lead Product Candidate, then this Section 5.3 shall not apply to, and for clarity Bluebird shall not have any option to co-promote or co-Develop, the Next Generation Product Candidate or any other Optioned Candidate, and (b) with respect to a Baylor-Only Candidate for which Celgene has delivered a Celgene Option Notice, such option will end on the earlier of (i) [***] following Celgene’s commencement of a Pivotal Study (as defined in the License Agreement) for such Baylor-Only Candidate, and (ii) the date that Bluebird delivers written notice to Celgene that Bluebird is declining to exercise such option. Prior to the expiration of such option for [***] a Baylor-Only Candidate, upon Bluebird’s written request, Celgene will provide Bluebird with (A) a reasonably detailed accounting of any payments made or other actions taken by Celgene pursuant to the License Agreement executed pursuant to Section 5.2 that would be the responsibility of Bluebird under the Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement, including, for avoidance of doubt, costs incurred by Celgene in Developing such Baylor-Only Candidate through and including the Pivotal Study for such Baylor-Only Candidate, and (B) all safety and efficacy data in Celgene’s possession as of the date of such request generated with respect to such Baylor-Only Candidate in all clinical studies conducted by Celgene for such Baylor-Only Candidate, all correspondence to and from any Regulatory Authority in Celgene’s possession as of the date of such request regarding such Baylor-Only Candidate, and any other information relating to such Baylor-Only Candidate reasonably requested by Bluebird and in Celgene’s possession as of the date of such request. In the event that Bluebird exercises such option, the Parties will promptly, but in any event within [***], terminate the License Agreement executed pursuant to Section 5.2 with respect to such Optioned Candidate, and enter into a Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B with respect to such Optioned Candidate, with appropriate amendments to reflect and reimburse Celgene for any payments made or other actions taken by Celgene pursuant to the License Agreement executed pursuant to Section 5.2 that are the responsibility of Bluebird under the Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement, including, for avoidance of doubt, costs incurred by Celgene in Developing a Baylor-Only Candidate through and including the Pivotal Study for the Baylor-Only Candidate. Upon execution of such Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement, such Optioned Candidate will be an “Elected Candidate” thereunder.

5.4Non-Co-Promotion/Co-Development Option Exercise. If during the [***] following Celgene’s delivery of a Celgene Option Notice to Bluebird, Bluebird notifies Celgene in writing that Bluebird will not exercise the option set forth above in Section 5.3, or Bluebird does not deliver a Bluebird Option Notice to Celgene prior to the expiration of the [***] period following Celgene’s delivery of a Celgene Option Notice to Bluebird, Celgene will pay to Bluebird the Additional Option Fee as set forth in Section 6.3, subject to Section 5.5.

5.5Baylor-Only Candidate Royalty & Milestone Payments. In the event that any Optioned Candidate is also a Baylor-Only Candidate (as reasonably determined by the Parties), (a) the Initial

Option Fee and the Additional Option Fee will each be reduced [***], and (b) any royalties or milestone payments payable under the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement with respect to such Optioned Candidate will be reduced [***]. All such payments will become due and payable only upon the commencement of a Pivotal Study (as defined in the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement) for such Optioned Candidate. At such time that the Optioned Candidate no longer satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of Baylor-Only Candidate as set forth below in this Section 5.5, all future milestone and royalty payments thereunder will be payable in the original amounts thereunder [***]. For clarity, such [***] reduction will only apply to royalties and milestone payments and no other payments under the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement (and for clarity, in the Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, the profit share/loss will be unaffected). [***]

5.6Declined Product Candidates.

(a)Bluebird Development. If (i) Celgene does not exercise its option with respect to a Product Candidate as set forth in Section 5.1, such Product Candidate will become a “Declined Product Candidate” hereunder, (ii) Celgene does not exercise its option with respect to the Lead Product Candidate as set forth in Section 5.1, all Product Candidates will become “Declined Product Candidates” hereunder, and (iii) if this Agreements expires or terminates for any reason prior to Celgene’s right to exercise its options with respect to one or more Product Candidate(s) as set forth in Section 5.1, then such Product Candidate(s) will become “Declined Product Candidate(s)” hereunder. On a Declined Product Candidate-by-Declined Product Candidate basis, Bluebird will have the option, exercisable upon written notice to Celgene (a “Bluebird Development Notice”), to Develop such Declined Product Candidate outside of the scope of the Collaboration Program, and Celgene hereby grants to Bluebird an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under the Celgene IP and Celgene’s interest in jointly owned Collaboration IP, solely to Develop such Declined Product Candidate. If any royalty, milestone or other payment, [***] becomes due under any Applicable Celgene In-License that is attributable to Bluebird as a sublicensee thereunder with respect to such Development work, Celgene will pay same, provided that Bluebird will reimburse Celgene for any such payment within thirty (30) days of Bluebird’s receipt of Celgene’s written invoice therefor, and Bluebird’s failure to pay such reimbursement within such time period will entitle Celgene to terminate Bluebird’s sublicense under the Applicable Celgene In-License upon thirty (30) days written notice. In connection with any such Development activities, Bluebird will (I) maintain, or cause to be maintained, records of its activities with respect to the Development of such Declined Product Candidate in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for scientific, Patent and regulatory purposes, for a period of at least ten (10) years after the creation of such records, but in no event less than required by applicable Laws, and Celgene will have the right to request and receive a copy of any such records, and (II) furnish Celgene with a copy of any safety and efficacy data generated by Bluebird or its Affiliates in connection with a Clinical Study performed with respect to such Declined Product Candidate, and all correspondence to and from any Regulatory Authority regarding such Declined Product Candidate, at least thirty (30) days prior to initiating a Declined Product Candidate Study for such Declined Product Candidate.

(i)On a Declined Product Candidate-by-Declined Product Candidate basis, (A) the Development license granted by Celgene to Bluebird under Section 5.6(a) will also include the rights to Manufacture and commercialize such Declined Product Candidate, provided that such license shall be limited to the Celgene IP and jointly owned Collaboration IP as it exists at the time Celgene’s option to such Declined Product Candidate has expired or been terminated (including in each case any additions, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, invention certificates, substitutions, reissues, reexaminations, extensions, registrations, supplementary protection certificates and renewals of such Celgene IP and Joint Collaboration IP), (B) such Declined Product Candidate will continue to be excluded from the scope of the Collaboration Program, (C) Bluebird will reimburse Celgene within ten (10) days of the expiration of Celgene’s option for such Declined Product Candidate for any royalty, milestone or other payments made by Celgene under the Applicable Celgene In-License (other than any upfront payment) in respect of such Declined Product Candidate; (D) if any royalty, milestone or other payment becomes due under any Applicable Celgene In-License that is attributable to Bluebird as a sublicensee (together with its licensees and their respective Affiliates) thereunder with respect to such Development, Manufacture or commercialization of such Declined Product Candidate, Celgene will pay same, provided that Bluebird will reimburse Celgene for any such payment within thirty (30) days of Bluebird’s receipt of Celgene’s written invoice therefor, and Bluebird’s failure to pay such reimbursement within such time period will entitle Celgene to terminate Bluebird’s sublicense under the Applicable Celgene In-License upon thirty (30) days written notice; and (E) subject to the exclusivity restrictions set forth in Section 2.1(e), Section 3.5 of the License Agreement (if applicable) or Section 10.4 of the Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement (if applicable), Bluebird will be free to research, Develop, Manufacture and commercialize such Declined Product Candidate alone or with others with no further obligation to Celgene other than with respect to any payment that may become due under any Applicable Celgene In-License that is attributable to Bluebird as a sublicensee (together with its licensees and their respective Affiliates) thereunder with respect to such Development, Manufacture and commercialization.

5.7Bluebird In-Licenses. Any Pre-Existing In-Licenses that are necessary or useful for a Product Candidate under a Development & Commercialization Agreement will automatically be included within the definition of Applicable Pre-Existing In-Licenses in such Development & Commercialization Agreement, and any Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses that Celgene elects to include within the definition of Applicable New In-Licenses in such Development & Commercialization Agreement will be so included. Any Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses that Celgene does not elect to include in such Development & Commercialization Agreement will be an Other In-License with respect to such Development & Commercialization Agreement unless and until Celgene elects to convert such Other In-License to an Applicable New In-License in accordance with the terms of the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement. Promptly following Celgene’s delivery of a Celgene Option Notice with respect to a Product Candidate, the Parties will mutually update the applicable Appendices to the Development & Commercialization Agreement. If the Parties cannot agree on such update, Celgene will have the right to make the final decision with respect to such update. For clarity, if, during the Collaboration Program Term, Celgene elects to convert a Bluebird New In-License into a Bluebird Collaboration In-License pursuant to Section 4.1(d), such Collaboration In-License will be an “Other In-License” with respect to any Development & Commercialization Agreement in effect at the time of such

election, and Celgene may elect to convert such Other In-License to an Applicable New In-License in accordance with the terms of such applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement.

5.8Government Approvals.

(a)Each of Celgene and Bluebird shall use its commercially reasonable good faith efforts to eliminate any concern on the part of any court or government authority regarding the legality of any proposed Development & Commercialization Agreement, including, if required by federal or state antitrust authorities, promptly taking all steps to secure government antitrust clearance, including cooperating in good faith with any government investigation including the prompt production of documents and information demanded by a second request for documents and of witnesses if requested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 5.8 and the term “commercially reasonable good faith efforts” do not require that either Party (i) offer, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any capital stock, assets, rights, products or businesses of Celgene, Bluebird or their respective Affiliates, (ii) agree to any restrictions on the businesses of Celgene, Bluebird or their respective Affiliates, or (iii) pay any material amount or take any other action to prevent, effect the dissolution of, vacate, or lift any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the transactions contemplated by any proposed Development & Commercialization Agreement.

(b)Each of Celgene and Bluebird shall, within ten (10) business days after the execution of a Development & Commercialization Agreement (or such later time as may be agreed to in writing by the Parties) file with the United States of America Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the United States of America Department of Justice (“DOJ”) any HSR Filing required of it under the HSR Act in the reasonable opinion of either Party with respect to the transactions contemplated by such Development & Commercialization Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate with one another to the extent necessary in the preparation of any such HSR Filing. [***] In the event that the Parties make an HSR Filing under this Section 5.8, the relevant Development & Commercialization Agreement shall terminate (i) at the election of either Party, immediately upon notice to the other Party, in the event that the FTC or the DOJ obtains a preliminary injunction under the HSR Act against the Parties to enjoin the transactions contemplated by such Development & Commercialization Agreement or (ii) at the election of either Party, immediately upon notice to the other Party, in the event that the HSR Clearance Date shall not have occurred on or prior to one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the HSR Filing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for the terms and conditions of this Section 5.8, none of the terms and conditions contained in a Development & Commercialization Agreement shall be effective until the “Implementation Date,” which is agreed and understood to mean the later of (A) the execution date of the Development & Commercialization Agreement, (B) if a determination is made pursuant to this Section 5.8 that a notification of this Agreement is not required to be made under the HSR Act, the date of such determination, or (C) if notification of this Agreement is required to be made under the HSR Act, the HSR Clearance Date. As used herein: (I) “HSR Act” means the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (II) “HSR Clearance Date” means the earliest date on which the Parties have actual knowledge

that all applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by a Development & Commercialization Agreement have expired or have been terminated; and (III) “HSR Filing” means a filing by Celgene and Bluebird with the FTC and the DOJ of a Notification and Report Form for Certain Mergers and Acquisitions (as that term is defined in the HSR Act) with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, together with all required documentary attachments thereto.

(c)Each of Celgene and Bluebird shall, in connection with any HSR Filing, (i) reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any communication, filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) keep the other Party and/or its counsel informed of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the FTC, the DOJ or any other U.S. or other governmental authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding the transactions contemplated by any proposed Development & Commercialization Agreement; (iii) consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with the FTC, the DOJ or any other governmental authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other governmental authority or other person, give the other Parties and/or their counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; and (iv) permit the other Parties and/or their counsel to review in advance any submission, filing or communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given by it to the FTC, the DOJ or any other governmental authority; provided, that materials may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the business of Bluebird. Bluebird and Celgene, as each deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material to be provided to the other under this Section 5.8(c) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Celgene or Bluebird, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.

(d)Celgene and Bluebird shall cooperate and use respectively all reasonable efforts to make all other registrations, filings and applications, to give all notices and to obtain as soon as practicable all governmental or other consents, transfers, approvals, orders, qualifications authorizations, permits and waivers, if any, and to do all other things necessary or desirable for the consummation of the transactions as contemplated hereby. Neither Party shall be required, however, to divest or out-license products or assets or materially change its business if doing so is a condition of obtaining approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e)If a Development & Commercialization Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.8, then, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other Party with respect to the subject matter of such Development & Commercialization Agreement.

5.9Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. All rights and licenses granted pursuant to any section of this Agreement are, and will be deemed to be, rights and licenses to “intellectual property” (as defined in Section 101(35A) of title 11 of the United States Code and of any similar provisions of applicable Laws under any other jurisdiction (the “Bankruptcy Code”)). Each Party

agrees that the other Party, as a licensee of rights and licenses under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of applicable Law outside the United States, the other Party will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any intellectual property licensed to such Party and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in such Party’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon such Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party in the bankruptcy proceeding elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a), following the rejection of this Agreement by the Party in the bankruptcy proceeding upon written request therefor by the other Party.

6.4In-Licenses; New Celgene In-Licenses.

(a)Pre-Existing In-Licenses. If any payments become due during the Term under any Pre-Existing In-License, Bluebird will be solely responsible for such payments, other than as expressly provided in Section 7.2 and, provided such payment obligation is not specifically attributable to any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement, which will be addressed thereunder. Bluebird will not use any Patents, Know-How or Materials in-licensed pursuant to a Pre-Existing In-License in the Collaboration Program if Bluebird does not have the right under such Pre-Existing In-License to use such Patents, Know-How or Materials in the Field.

6.5Taxes. [***]

7.Patent Prosecution and Maintenance.

7.1Generally. Subject to Sections 7.2 and 7.3, Bluebird will have the sole right to Prosecute and Maintain Patents within the Bluebird IP, Celgene will have the sole right to Prosecute and Maintain Patents with the Celgene IP, and the Parties will jointly control the Prosecution and Maintenance of any Patents within jointly-owned Collaboration IP.

7.2Celgene Input; Expenses. Bluebird will regularly provide Celgene with copies of all applications for Patents within the Bluebird IP, and all other material submissions and correspondence with any patent authorities regarding such Patents, in sufficient time to allow for review and comment by Celgene. In addition, Bluebird will provide Celgene and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Bluebird and its counsel regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents in the Field, and Bluebird will consider in good faith all comments timely made by Celgene and its counsel. In the event of any disagreement between any of Bluebird or Celgene, Bluebird will have the final decision-making authority with respect to the matter involved as long as Bluebird acts in good faith, provided that if Celgene requests that Bluebird Prosecute and Maintain Patents in a particular jurisdiction, Bluebird will comply with such request, and provided further that Bluebird will not abandon Prosecution and Maintenance of any Patents within the Bluebird IP without Celgene’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). In addition, for each Product Candidate, the Parties shall cooperate to develop a mutually acceptable patent strategy designed to obtain Patents that include only claims Covering the Product Candidate, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the Product Candidate, or their manufacture or use, and no other product (or its manufacture or use), and Bluebird shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, use its reasonable best efforts to implement such strategy. [***]

7.3Bluebird Input; Expenses. Celgene will regularly provide Bluebird with copies of all applications for Patents (a) within Collaboration IP solely owned by Celgene pursuant to Section 2.1(f) and (b) within the Celgene IP that are in-licensed by Celgene pursuant to an Applicable Celgene New In-License (other than those sublicensed to Bluebird on a non-exclusive basis), and all other material submissions and correspondence with any patent authorities regarding such Patents, in sufficient time to allow for review and comment by Bluebird. In addition, Celgene will provide Bluebird and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Celgene and its counsel regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents in the Field, and Celgene will consider in good faith all comments timely made by Bluebird and its counsel. In the event of any disagreement between any of Bluebird or Celgene, Celgene will have the final decision-making authority with respect to the matter involved as long as Celgene acts in good faith. During the Term, Celgene will be solely responsible for all Patent Costs incurred in connection with the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents within the Celgene IP.

7.4Jointly Owned Collaboration IP. The Prosecution and Maintenance and the enforcement and defense of any Patents within jointly-owned Collaboration IP will be jointly managed by the Parties on mutually agreeable terms to be entered into by the Parties at the time any such Patents are first filed, provided that (a) absent further agreement, the enforcement and defense of any Patents within jointly-owned Collaboration IP will be governed by, and all recoveries and Patent Costs arising from the enforcement or defense of any Patents within jointly-owned Collaboration IP will be retained or borne, as applicable, in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 2.1(f)(iii) (i.e., U.S. patent law for joint ownership of Patents will apply), and (b) Patent Costs incurred in connection with the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents within jointly-owned Collaboration IP will be apportioned as set forth in Section 7.2, for the purposes of which, such Patents will be treated as Patents within the Bluebird IP, provided that in each case ((a) and (b)), if either Party elects not to pay any such Patent Costs for any such Patent, the Parties will meet and agree upon an equitable way to treat such Patent.

7.5Third Party Rights.

(a)To the extent that a Third Party licensor of Bluebird has retained any right to Prosecute or Maintain any Patent within the Bluebird IP licensed to Bluebird pursuant to a Bluebird In-License, or otherwise be involved in such activities, Bluebird will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party licensor to take the actions specified by Section 7. in a manner consistent with the Bluebird In-Licenses applicable thereto, but Bluebird will not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under Section 7 if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by such Third Party licensor.

(b)To the extent that a Third Party licensor of Celgene has retained any right to Prosecute or Maintain any Patent within the Celgene In-Licensed IP licensed to Celgene pursuant to an Applicable Celgene In-License, or otherwise be involved in such activities, Celgene will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party licensor to take the actions specified by Section 7 in a manner consistent with the Applicable Celgene In-Licenses applicable thereto, but Celgene will not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under Section 7 if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by such Third Party licensor.

7.6Common Interest Disclosures. With regard to any information or opinions disclosed pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other Party regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent within the Bluebird IP, Celgene IP or Collaboration IP or enforcement or defense of intellectual property and/or technology by or against Third Parties, Bluebird and Celgene agree that they have a common legal interest in determining the ownership, scope, validity and/or enforcement of the Bluebird IP, Celgene IP or Collaboration IP, and whether, and to what extent, Third Party intellectual property rights may affect the conduct of the Development and commercialization of any Product Candidate, and have a further common legal interest in defending against any actual or prospective Third Party claims based on allegations of misuse or infringement of intellectual property rights relating to the Development or commercialization of any Product Candidate. Accordingly, the Parties agree that all such information and materials obtained by the Parties from each other will be used solely for purposes of the Parties’ common legal interests with respect to the conduct of the Agreement and otherwise for each Party to exercise its rights and perform its obligations hereunder. All such information and materials will be treated as protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege, and any other privilege or immunity that may otherwise be applicable. By sharing any such information and materials, neither Party intends to waive or limit any privilege or immunity that may apply to the shared information and materials. Neither Party will have the authority to waive any privilege or immunity on behalf of the other Party without such other Party’s prior written consent, nor will the waiver of privilege or immunity resulting from the conduct of one Party be deemed to apply against any other Party. This Section 7.6 will be subject to any right granted by Bluebird to any Third Party or by Celgene to any Third Party, provided that the grant of such right to such Third Party does not conflict with the other Party’s rights or a Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

8.Confidentiality.

8.1Confidential Information.

(a)Confidential Information. Each Party (“Disclosing Party”) may have disclosed or will disclose to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), and Receiving Party may acquire during the course and conduct of activities under this Agreement or any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement, certain proprietary or confidential information of Disclosing Party. The term “Confidential Information” means (i) all Materials and (ii) all ideas and information of any kind, whether in written, oral, graphical, machine-readable or other form, whether or not marked as confidential or proprietary, which are transferred, disclosed or made available by Disclosing Party or at the request of Receiving Party, including any of the foregoing of Third Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, Collaboration IP solely owned by Bluebird will be considered Confidential Information of Bluebird, Collaboration IP solely owned by Celgene will be considered Confidential Information of Celgene, and Collaboration IP jointly owned by the Parties will be considered Confidential Information of both Parties.

(b)Restrictions. During the Term and for ten (10) years thereafter, Receiving Party will keep all Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in confidence with the same degree of care with which Receiving Party holds its own confidential information, provided that the foregoing obligation will apply to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret for so long as such Confidential Information is afforded trade secret protection under applicable Law. Receiving Party will not use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except for in connection

with the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights under this Agreement or any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement. Receiving Party has the right to disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information without Disclosing Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to the extent and only to the extent reasonably necessary, to Receiving Party’s Affiliates and their employees, subcontractors, sublicensees, consultants or agents who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement or any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement and who are required to comply with restrictions on use and disclosure similarly restrictive as those in this Section 8.1(b). Receiving Party will use diligent efforts to cause those entities and persons to comply with such restrictions on use and disclosure. Receiving Party assumes responsibility for those entities and persons maintaining Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in confidence and using same only for the purposes described herein.

(c)Exceptions. Receiving Party’s obligation of nondisclosure and the limitations upon the right to use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information will not apply to the extent that Receiving Party can demonstrate that the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information: (i) was known to Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates prior to the time of disclosure; (ii) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault or omission of Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates; (iii) is obtained by Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates from a Third Party under no obligation of confidentiality to Disclosing Party; or (iv) has been independently developed by employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents of Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates without the aid, application or use of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records.

(d)Permitted Disclosures. Receiving Party may disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent (and only to the extent) such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

(i)in order to comply with applicable Law (including any securities law or regulation or the rules of a securities exchange) or with a legal or administrative proceeding;

(ii)in connection with prosecuting or defending litigation, Regulatory Approvals and other regulatory filings and communications, and filing, prosecuting and enforcing Patents in connection with Receiving Party’s rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement; and

(iii)in connection with performing its obligations or exercising its rights hereunder or any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement, to its Affiliates; and subject to Section 8.3(a), to potential and future collaborators, licensees, sublicensees and permitted acquirers or assignees, and investment bankers, investors and lenders;

provided that (A) with respect to Sections 8.1(d)(i) or 8.1(d)(ii), where reasonably possible, Receiving Party will notify Disclosing Party of Receiving Party’s intent to make any disclosure pursuant thereto sufficiently prior to making such disclosure so as to allow Disclosing Party adequate time to take whatever action it may deem appropriate to protect the confidentiality of the information to be disclosed, and (B) with respect to Section 8.1(d)(iii), each of those named people and entities are required to comply with restrictions on use and disclosure at least as restrictive as

those in Section 8.1(b) (other than investment bankers, investors and lenders, which must be bound prior to disclosure by commercially reasonable obligations of confidentiality).

8.2Publications. The Parties may desire to publish in scientific journals and present at scientific conferences the results of the Collaboration Program, subject to the following process. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, either Party may propose publication of the results of the Collaboration Program following scientific review by the JSC (if in force) and subsequent written approval by Bluebird’s and Celgene’s management, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. After receipt of the proposed publication by both Celgene’s and Bluebird’s managements, such written approval or disapproval will be provided within thirty (30) days. Both Parties understand that a reasonable commercial strategy may require delay of publication of information or filing of Patent applications, therefore the Parties agree to review and consider delay of publication and filing of Patent applications under certain circumstances for a reasonably limited period of time. Once publications have been reviewed by each Party and have been approved for publication, the same publications do not have to be provided again to the other Party for review for a later submission for publication. Expedited reviews for abstracts or poster presentations may be arranged if mutually agreeable to the Parties. Each Party will acknowledge the other Party’s technical, non-financial contributions in any such publication. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing requirements and restrictions will not apply with respect to either Party’s proposed publication of results of any work performed (a) following the expiration or termination of the Collaboration Program, or (b) with respect to any Declined Product Candidate, in each case except as such results specifically relate to any Optioned Candidate or to any Product Candidate for which Celgene has an option hereunder (unless such option expires without Celgene having exercised such option), in which case Bluebird may not publish or present such results without Celgene’s prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

8.3Terms of this Agreement; Publicity.

(a)Restrictions. The Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement (including, for clarity, for this Section 8.3(a), the Exhibits hereto) and any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement will be treated as Confidential Information of both Parties, and thus may be disclosed only as permitted by Section 8.1(d). Each Party shall also be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement, in each case under appropriate confidentiality provisions at least as protective as those contained in this Agreement, on a need to know basis, to a bona fide potential or future permitted acquirer or assignee, investment banker, investor, licensee, sublicensee, collaborator or lender with whom a Party has entered into good faith negotiations regarding a proposed transaction, provided that (i) such disclosure is solely in the form of redacted versions of this Agreement and any Development & Commercialization Agreement in such forms as are consistent with the corresponding redacted versions filed by Bluebird with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Original Agreement) and (ii) a corresponding summary of financial terms for each such agreement also attached as an Exhibit or Appendix (as applicable) thereto. Only after negotiations with any such Third Party have progressed so that such Party reasonably and in good faith believes it will execute a definitive agreement with such Third Party with respect to the proposed transaction within the following fifteen (15) business days may such Party provide an unredacted version of this Agreement and

any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement to such Third Party. In addition to the foregoing, (I) Bluebird may provide an unredacted version of this Agreement and any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement to its investment bankers and other advisors, and (II) if Bluebird desires to enter into any such proposed transaction through an auction process, Bluebird may disclose the redacted form of this Agreement and any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement as part of that process, along with the financial summary, and may provide an unredacted version of this Agreement and any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement to those Third Parties that make a bona fide bid as part of such process. Except as required by Law, each Party agrees not to issue any press release or public statement disclosing information relating to this Agreement, any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any of the terms hereof or thereof without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), or as such consent may be obtained in accordance with Section 8.3(b), or as permitted by Section 8.3(d).

(b)Review. In the event either Party (the “Issuing Party”) desires to issue a press release or other public statement disclosing information relating to this Agreement, any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the terms hereof or thereof, the Issuing Party will provide the other Party (the “Reviewing Party”) with a copy of the proposed press release or public statement (the “Release”). The Issuing Party will specify with each such Release, taking into account the urgency of the matter being disclosed, a reasonable period of time within which the Reviewing Party may provide any comments on such Release and if the Reviewing Party fails to provide any comments during the response period called for by the Issuing Party, the Reviewing Party will be deemed to have consented to the issuance of such Release. If the Reviewing Party provides any comments, the Parties will consult on such Release and work in good faith to prepare a mutually acceptable Release. If the Reviewing Party does not provide its consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the issuance of the Release, the Issuing Party will not issue the Release except as required by Law. Either Party may subsequently publicly disclose any information previously contained in any Release so consented to.

(c)Joint Press Release. The Parties agree to issue the joint press release on Exhibit H.

(d)Securities Filings. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party may submit this Agreement (including, for clarity, the Exhibits hereto) and any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement to the SEC and if a Party does submit this Agreement or any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement to the SEC, such Party agrees to consult with the other Party with respect to the preparation and submission of a confidential treatment request for this Agreement or such executed Development & Commercialization Agreement. If a Party is required by Law to make a disclosure of the terms of this Agreement or any executed Development & Commercialization Agreement in a filing with or other submission to the SEC, and (i) such Party has provided copies of the disclosure to the other Party as far in advance of such filing or other disclosure as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, (ii) such Party has promptly notified the other Party in writing of such requirement and any respective timing constraints, and (iii) such Party has given the other Party a reasonable time under the circumstances from the date of notice by such Party of the required disclosure to comment upon, request

confidential treatment or approve such disclosure, then such Party will have the right to make such public disclosure at the time and in the manner reasonably determined by its counsel to be required by Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is hereby understood and agreed that if a Party seeking to make a disclosure to the SEC as set forth in this Section 8.3(d), and the other Party provides comments within the respective time periods or constraints specified herein or within the respective notice, the Party seeking to make such disclosure or its counsel, as the case may be, will in good faith (A) consider incorporating such comments and (B) use reasonable efforts to incorporate such comments, limit disclosure or obtain confidential treatment to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party.

8.4Relationship to the Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement supersedes that certain “Mutual Confidentiality Agreement” between the Parties dated May 21, 2012; provided that all “Confidential Information” disclosed or received by the Parties thereunder will be deemed “Confidential Information” hereunder and will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.Warranties; Limitations of Liability; Indemnification.

9.1Representations and Warranties.

9.2Additional Representations and Warranties of Bluebird. Bluebird represents and warrants to Celgene as of the Amendment Date that:

(a)Except for the Pre-Existing In-Licenses and Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses, neither Bluebird nor any of its Affiliates is a party to any license, sublicense or other agreement pursuant to which Bluebird or such Affiliate has received a license or other rights relating to the Collaboration Program or the Field.

(b)The Pre-Existing In-Licenses and Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses in effect as of the Amendment Date are valid and binding obligations of Bluebird and, to the Knowledge of Bluebird, the applicable licensor, enforceable against Bluebird and, to the Knowledge of Bluebird, the applicable licensor, in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally. Neither Bluebird nor any of its Affiliates has received any notice of any counterparty’s intention to terminate any Pre-Existing In-Licenses or Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses in whole or in part or any notice requesting any amendment, alteration or modification of such Pre-Existing In-License or Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses or any sublicense or assignment thereunder. There is no breach or default, or event which upon notice or the passage of time, or both, would give rise to any breach or default, in the performance of any Pre-Existing In-License or Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses by Bluebird or any of its Affiliates or, to the Knowledge of Bluebird, the counterparty thereto, and Bluebird has not received any notice of any such breach, default or event. All Patents and Know-How licensed to Bluebird under the Pre-Existing In-Licenses and Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses are Controlled by

Bluebird for purposes of the licenses granted to Celgene under this Agreement and under any Development & Commercialization Agreement.

(c)Neither Bluebird nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement or otherwise licensed, granted, assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise encumbered or disposed of any right, title or interest in or to any of its assets, including any intellectual property rights, that would in any way conflict with or impair the scope of any rights or licenses granted to Celgene hereunder or that would be granted to Celgene under any Development & Commercialization Agreement, including under any of the agreements which Bluebird has identified to Celgene prior to the Amendment Date.

(d)Exhibit I sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Patents included in the Bluebird IP, indicating the owner, licensor and/or co-owner(s), if applicable. Bluebird Controls the Patents listed on Exhibit I and the Know-How within the Bluebird IP, and is entitled to grant the licenses specified herein. To Bluebird’s Knowledge, the Patents listed on Exhibit I have been procured or are being procured from the respective patent offices in accordance with applicable Law. None of the Patents included in the Bluebird IP is or has been involved in any opposition, cancellation, interference, reissue or reexamination proceeding, and no Bluebird IP is the subject of any judicial, administrative or arbitral order, award, decree, injunction, lawsuit, proceeding or stipulation.

(e)Exhibit J sets forth a complete and accurate list of all agreements relating to the licensing, sublicensing or other granting of rights by Bluebird to any Person with respect to the Bluebird IP and the Target Antigen, and Bluebird has provided complete and accurate copies of all such agreements to Celgene. Except for the Pre-Existing In-Licenses and Bluebird Collaboration In-Licenses, Bluebird and its Affiliates are not subject to any payment obligations to Third Parties as a result of the execution or performance of this Agreement. Neither Bluebird nor any of its Affiliates has granted any liens or security interests on the Bluebird IP and the Bluebird IP is free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, claim, security interest, covenant, easement, encumbrance, lien or charge of any kind.

(f)The execution, delivery and performance by Bluebird of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any violation of, conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any understanding, contract or agreement to which Bluebird is a party or by which it is bound, including each of the agreements which Bluebird has identified to Celgene prior to the Amendment Date.

(g)There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Knowledge of Bluebird, currently threatened in writing against or affecting Bluebird that questions the validity of this Agreement or the right of Bluebird to enter into this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Development, Manufacture or commercialization of any Product Candidate pursuant to this Agreement and any Development & Commercialization Agreement, and (ii) to the Knowledge of Bluebird, except as disclosed to Celgene in writing on the Amendment Date, there are no Patents, Know-How or other intellectual property owned by a Third Party and not included in the Bluebird IP that are necessary for the production, use, research, Development, Manufacture or commercialization of any Product Candidate.

9.3Disclaimers. Without limiting the respective rights and obligations of the Parties expressly set forth herein, each Party specifically disclaims any guarantee that the Collaboration Program will be successful, in whole or in part. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTEND NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY BLUEBIRD IP, CELGENE IP, PRODUCT CANDIDATES, MATERIALS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY PATENT RIGHTS, TITLE, QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY PATENTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

9.4[***]

9.5Performance by Others. The Parties recognize that each Party may perform some or all of its obligations under this Agreement through Affiliates and permitted subcontractors provided, however, that each Party will remain responsible and liable for the performance by its Affiliates and permitted subcontractors and will cause its Affiliates and permitted subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection therewith.

9.6Indemnification.

(a)Indemnification by Celgene. Celgene will indemnify Bluebird, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, Third Party licensors and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, “Bluebird Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any and all suits, investigations, claims or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) against the Bluebird Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) the material breach by Celgene of any term of this Agreement; (ii) Celgene’s performance of the Collaboration Program (other than with respect to claims of actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violation of a Third Party’s Patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights); or (iii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Celgene in performing its obligations under this Agreement, except in each case for those Losses for which Bluebird has an obligation to indemnify Celgene pursuant to Section 9.6(b), as to which Losses each Party will indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability; provided, however, that Celgene will not be obligated to indemnify Bluebird Indemnitees for any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Bluebird Indemnitee.

(b)Indemnification by Bluebird. Bluebird will indemnify Celgene, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective successors, heirs

and assigns (collectively, “Celgene Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all Third Party Claims against Celgene Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) the material breach by Bluebird of any term of this Agreement; (ii) Bluebird’s performance of the Collaboration Program (other than with respect to claims of actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violation of a Third Party’s Patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights); (iii) [***]; or (iv) any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Bluebird in performing its obligations under this Agreement, except in each case for those Losses for which Celgene has an obligation to indemnify Bluebird pursuant to Section 9.6(a), as to which Losses each Party will indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for the Losses; provided, however, that Bluebird will not be obligated to indemnify Celgene Indemnitees for any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Celgene Indemnitee.

(c)Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims provided for in Section 9.6(a) and 9.6(b) will be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party will promptly notify the indemnifying Party (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or the discovery of any fact upon which the Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 9.6(a) or 9.6(b), but in no event will the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and estimated amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.

(d)Defense, Settlement, Cooperation and Expenses.

(i)Control of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice, provided however that (A) the Third Party Claim solely seeks monetary damages and (B) the indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the indemnifying Party will be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in full and is able to reasonably demonstrate that it has sufficient financial resources (the matters described in (A) and (B), the “Litigation Conditions”). The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party will not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim (except as provided in the immediately prior sentence), nor will it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party (the indemnifying Party will consult with the Indemnified Party with respect to a possible conflict of interest of such counsel retained by the indemnifying Party). In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection

with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 9.6(d)(ii), the indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal costs or expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may, at any time, assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if at any time the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Third Party Claims incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.

(ii)Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 9.6(d)(i), any Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Party’s own cost and expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, (B) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 9.6(d)(i) (in which case the Indemnified Party will control the defense), (C) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles, or (D) the indemnifying Party no longer satisfies the Litigation Conditions, in which case the indemnifying Party will assume one hundred percent (100%) of any such costs and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party.

(iii)Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claims that relate solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affecting the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the indemnifying Party will have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, and subject to the Litigation Conditions being satisfied, the indemnifying Party will have the sole right to agree to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, will deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.6(d)(i), the indemnifying Party will have authority to agree to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party will admit any liability with respect to or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(iv)Cooperation. If the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will, and will cause each other Indemnified Party to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and will furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation will include access during normal business hours afforded to indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(c)Dispute Resolution. In the event the Parties are not able to resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 11.1(b), either Party may at any time after such twenty (20) day period submit such dispute to be finally settled in the federal courts located in the Southern District of New York. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts located in the Southern District of New York, for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d)Injunctive Relief.

Such right to equitable relief is in addition to whatever remedies either Party may be entitled to as a matter of law or equity, including money damages.

Celgene will make milestone payments (each, a “Milestone Payment”) to Bluebird upon the occurrence of each of the milestones events (each, a “Milestone Event”) as set forth below in this Section 4.2. Each of the Milestone Payments will be payable to Bluebird by Celgene within forty-five (45) days of the achievement of the specified Milestone Event, and such payments when owed or paid will be non-refundable and non-creditable, and not subject to set-off, except as otherwise set forth in Sections 2.8(a), 10.3(c) and 10.6 hereof, and Sections 4.1(e), 4.3 and 10.6 of the Master Collaboration Agreement. Except with respect to Modified Licensed Products, each of the Milestone Payments are payable only once in total under this License Agreement, whether achieved by one or more Licensed Products.

4.3Royalties.

(a)Rates. Subject to the remainder of this Section 4.3, Celgene will pay to Bluebird running royalties, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, based on the total aggregate annual Net Sales worldwide by Selling Parties of such Licensed Product in a given calendar year at the following royalty rates:

[***]

By way of example, in a given calendar year, if the aggregate annual worldwide Net Sales for a Licensed Product is [***], the following royalty payment would be payable for those Net Sales under this Section 4.3(a): [***].

(b)Royalty Term. Royalties under Section 4.3(a) will be payable, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, on the Net Sales of any Licensed Product if at least one of the following two (2) conditions apply: [***]

(c)Royalty Reduction. If Licensed Product is royalty-bearing only on account of Section 4.3(b)(ii), then the royalty rates set forth in Section 4.3(a) with respect to Net Sales attributable to Licensed Product will be reduced by [***].

(d)Third Party Royalty Payments. If Celgene or its Sublicensee, in its reasonable judgment, is required to obtain a license from any Third Party under any Patent Covering Licensed Product in order to Develop or Commercialize such Licensed Product, and if Celgene (or its Sublicensee) is required to pay to such Third Party under such license any royalties, and the infringement of such Patent cannot reasonably be avoided by Celgene (or its Sublicensee), or if Celgene (or its Sublicensee) is required by a court of competent jurisdiction to pay royalties or lost profits to such a Third Party (and the infringement of such Patent cannot reasonably be avoided), then the amount of Celgene’s royalty obligations under this Section 4.3 will be reduced by [***] of the amount of such royalties paid to such Third Party, provided however, that the royalties payable under Section 4.3(a) will not be reduced in any such event below [***] of the amounts set forth in Section 4.3(a) (but as may be further reduced pursuant to Section 4.3(c) or Section 4.3(e)) for each royalty tier. Any royalties payable under any Applicable Pre-Existing In-Licenses may not be deducted under this Section 4.3(d) from royalties owed to Bluebird. Any royalties payable under any Applicable New In-Licenses and Celgene Licensed Product In-Licenses may be deducted under this Section 4.3(d) from royalties owed to Bluebird. Celgene (or its Sublicensee) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of any of the foregoing payments owed to Third Parties. Prior to Celgene or its Sublicensee exercising its reasonable judgment under this Section 4.3(d), Celgene will provide Bluebird with written notice of a potential need to obtain any license from Third Parties. The Parties will discuss the best course of action to resolve such potential license requirement(s).

(i)only one (1) royalty will be payable hereunder with respect to each Licensed Product unit;

(ii)royalties when owed or paid hereunder will, except as provided in Section 4.3(d), be non-refundable and non-creditable and not subject to set-off (except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.8(a), 10.3(c) and 10.6 hereof, Section 17.6 of any Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement, and Sections 4.1(e), 4.3 and 10.6 of the Master Collaboration Agreement); and

(iii)except as expressly set forth in Sections 4.3(c), 4.3(d) and 4.3(e), no other royalty deductions are permitted hereunder.

4.4Payment Terms. [***]

Mutual Convenience of the Parties. The royalty and other payment obligations set forth hereunder have been agreed to by the Parties for the purpose of reflecting and advancing their mutual convenience, including the ease of calculating and paying royalties and other amounts to Bluebird.

5.Ownership and Inventorship of IP.

5.1Solely-Owned IP. Subject to Section 5.2, as between the Parties, each Party will own and retain all right, title and interest in and to any and all Know-How and Patents arising therefrom that are discovered, created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice solely by or on behalf of such Party under or in connection with this License Agreement, including as part the Celgene Development & Commercialization Program (“Solely Owned IP”). Subject to the licenses hereunder and the other terms and conditions of this License Agreement, each Party will be solely responsible for the Prosecution and Maintenance, and the enforcement and defense, of any Patents within its Solely Owned IP, and the other Party will have no rights with respect thereto.

5.2Joint IP. The Parties will jointly own any and all Know-How and Patents arising therefrom that are discovered, created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice jointly by or on behalf of the Parties, under or in connection with this License Agreement, including as part of the Celgene Development & Commercialization Program (“Joint IP”). Each Party will have an undivided one-half interest in and to Joint IP. Each Party will exercise its ownership rights in and to such Joint IP, including the right to license and sublicense or otherwise to exploit, transfer or encumber its ownership interest, without an accounting or obligation to, or consent required from, the other Party, but subject to the licenses hereunder and the other terms and conditions of this License Agreement, including Section 3.4. At the reasonable written request of a Party, the other Party will in writing grant such consents and confirm that no such accounting is required to effect the foregoing regarding Joint IP. Each Party, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, licensees and Sublicensees, and employees, subcontractors, consultants and agents of any of the foregoing, hereby assigns (and to the extent such assignment can only be made in the future hereby agrees to assign), to the other Party a joint and undivided interest in and to all Joint IP. The Prosecution and Maintenance, and the enforcement and defense, of any Patents within Joint IP will be jointly managed by the Parties on mutually agreeable terms to be entered into by the Parties at the time

any such Patents are first filed, provided that (a) all recoveries and Patent Costs arising from the enforcement or defense of any Patents within Joint IP, absent further agreement, will be shared by the Parties in accordance with Section 7.2(e) (provided that sufficient advance written notice of any such Patent Costs is given to the Party not incurring same) and (b) Patent Costs incurred in connection with the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents within Joint IP will be apportioned as set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3, provided that in each case ((a) and (b)), if either Party elects not to pay any such Patent Costs for any such Patent, the Parties will meet and agree upon an equitable way to treat such Patent.

5.3Inventorship. Inventorship determination for all Patents worldwide arising from any Know-How created, conceived or developed by or on behalf of the Parties under or in connection with this License Agreement and thus the ownership thereof will be made in accordance with applicable United States patent Laws.

5.4Allocation. Notwithstanding Sections 5.1 – 5.3, the Patent Committee may allocate ownership of a particular item of intellectual property to improve the prospects of obtaining patent protection with respect to such item of intellectual property, even if such allocation is not in accordance with the terms of Sections 5.1 – 5.3, so long as the Parties mutually agree to such allocation.

6.Patent Prosecution and Maintenance.

6.1Generally. Subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, Bluebird will have the sole right to Prosecute and Maintain Patents within the Licensed IP. Bluebird will use commercially reasonable efforts to, where applicable and upon Celgene’s reasonable request, separate parent Patent applications within the Licensed IP into one or more separate Patent applications for Specific Patents, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, where doing so would not reasonably be expected to materially harm any Patent within the Licensed IP or other Patents owned by Bluebird or its Affiliates, provided that the foregoing limitation will not apply to Licensed IP that is Collaboration IP. [***]

6.2Celgene Input. Bluebird will regularly provide Celgene with copies of all applications for Patents within the Licensed IP, and all other material submissions and correspondence with any patent authorities regarding such Patents, in sufficient time to allow for review and comment by Celgene. In addition, Bluebird will provide Celgene and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Bluebird and its counsel regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents in the Field, and Bluebird will consider in good faith all comments timely made by Celgene and its counsel. In the event of any disagreement between any of Bluebird or Celgene, Bluebird will have the final decision-making authority with respect to the matter involved as long as Bluebird acts in good faith.

6.3Specific Patents. For any Patent within the Licensed IP [***] (each “Specific Patent”), the following will apply: upon Celgene’s written request, and provided that Bluebird reasonably agrees with Celgene that the following Prosecution and Maintenance activities would not materially harm any other Patent within the Licensed IP or other Patents owned by Bluebird or its Affiliates (other than Collaboration IP), Celgene will control the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Specific Patents, and notwithstanding anything in Section 6.1 to the contrary, Celgene will be solely responsible for the payment of all related Patent Costs. In addition, Celgene will provide

Bluebird and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Celgene and its counsel regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Specific Patents, and Celgene will include or reflect all reasonable comments timely made by Bluebird and its counsel. Celgene acknowledges and agrees that Bluebird may grant similar rights to other exclusive Third Party licensees under any Patent within the Licensed IP that has claims Covering only a product that is not a Licensed Product (or its manufacture or use) and no other product (or its manufacture or use), other than Specific Patents. If the Parties cannot agree whether or not any Patent within the Licensed IP is a Specific Patent, or if Bluebird claims that the foregoing Prosecution and Maintenance activities would materially harm any other Patent within the Licensed IP or other Patents owned by Bluebird or any of its Affiliates, either of the Parties may refer such dispute to a mutually agreeable, disinterested, conflict-of-interest-free individual not affiliated or consulting with either Party and who has at least fifteen (15) years of patent prosecution experience in the pharmaceutical field. Any such arbitration will be conducted under the then-current rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the decision of the arbitrator will be final.

6.4Election Not to Prosecute or Maintain or Pay Patent Costs. If Bluebird elects not (a) to Prosecute or Maintain any Patents within the Licensed IP in any particular country before the applicable filing deadline or continue such activities once filed in a particular country, or (b) to pay the Patent Costs associated with Prosecution or Maintenance of any Patents within the Licensed IP, then in each such case Bluebird will so notify Celgene, promptly in writing and in good time to enable Bluebird to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to preserve such Patent in such country, if Celgene so requests. Upon receipt of each such notice by Bluebird, Celgene will have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Bluebird in writing on a timely basis that Celgene will assume control of the Prosecution or Maintenance of such Patent, and bear the Patent Costs thereafter incurred by Celgene with respect thereto. In addition, Celgene will provide Bluebird and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Celgene and its counsel regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents, and Celgene will include or reflect all reasonable comments timely made by Bluebird and its counsel. If after making such election, Celgene elects not to pay the Patent Costs associated with Prosecution or Maintenance of any such Patent, then in each such case Celgene will so notify Bluebird and on the ninetieth (90^th) day after Bluebird’s receipt of such notice such Patent will no longer be licensed to Celgene hereunder and will no longer be included within the “Licensed IP” hereunder.

6.5Third Party Rights. To the extent that a Third Party licensor of Bluebird has retained any right to Prosecute or Maintain any Patent within the Licensed IP licensed to Celgene hereunder (including pursuant to an Applicable Bluebird In-License), or otherwise be involved in such activities, Bluebird will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party licensor to take the actions specified by this Section 6 (including Sections 6.6 and 6.7) in a manner consistent with the in-license applicable thereto, but Bluebird will not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under this Section 6 if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by such Third Party licensor.

6.6Patent Extensions. Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.6, if any election for patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate or any of their equivalents may be made with respect to any Patent within the Licensed IP, after consultation with Celgene, the Parties will discuss and seek to reach mutual agreement whether or not to take such action. If

the Parties are not able to reach mutual agreement, (a) Celgene will have the sole right to make the final decision whether or not to seek such patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate or any of their equivalents with respect to Specific Patents and Patents within the Collaboration IP licensed to Celgene hereunder and (b) Bluebird will have the sole right to make the final decision whether or not to seek such patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate or any of their equivalents with respect to all other Patents within the Licensed IP.

6.7Regulatory Exclusivity Periods. With respect to any Patent listings required for any Regulatory Exclusivity Periods for Product, the Parties will mutually agree on which Patents within the Licensed IP to list, provided that if the Parties are not able to agree, Celgene will have the right to make the final decision, and provided further that the exercise of such right by Celgene will not increase or otherwise change the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder.

6.8Cooperation. Each Party will reasonably cooperate with the other Party in the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents within the Licensed IP. Such cooperation includes promptly executing all documents, or requiring inventors, subcontractors, employees and consultants and agents of Celgene and Bluebird and their respective Affiliates and Sublicensees to execute all documents, as reasonable and appropriate so as to enable the Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents in any country.

6.9Patent Marking. Celgene will xxxx, and will cause all other Selling Parties to xxxx, Product with all Patents within the Licensed IP in accordance with applicable Law, which marking obligation will continue for as long as (and only for as long as) required under applicable Law.

6.10Common Interest Disclosures. With regard to any information or opinions disclosed pursuant to this License Agreement by one Party to the other Party regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent within the Licensed IP, or enforcement of intellectual property and/or technology by or against Third Parties, Bluebird and Celgene agree that they have a common legal interest in determining the ownership, scope, validity and/or enforcement of the Licensed IP, and whether, and to what extent, Third Party intellectual property rights may affect the conduct of the Development and Commercialization of any Licensed Product, and have a further common legal interest in defending against any actual or prospective Third Party claims based on allegations of misuse or infringement of intellectual property rights relating to the Development or Commercialization of any Licensed Product. Accordingly, the Parties agree that all such information and materials obtained by the Parties from each other will be used solely for purposes of the Parties’ common legal interests with respect to the conduct of the Agreement. All such information and materials will be treated as protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege, and any other privilege or immunity that may otherwise be applicable. By sharing any such information and materials, neither Party intends to waive or limit any privilege or immunity that may apply to the shared information and materials. Neither Party will have the authority to waive any privilege or immunity on behalf of the other Party without such other Party’s prior written consent, nor will the waiver of privilege or immunity resulting from the conduct of one Party be deemed to apply against any other Party. This Section 6.10 will be subject to any right granted by either Party to any Third Party, provided that the grant of such right to such Third Party does not conflict with the other Party’s rights or the first Party’s obligations under this License Agreement.

7.Patent Enforcement and Defense.

7.1Notice. Each Party will promptly notify, in writing, the other Party upon learning of any actual or suspected Competitive Infringement of any Patents within the Licensed IP by a Third Party, or of any claim of invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of any Patents within the Licensed IP, and will, along with such notice, supply the other Party with any evidence in its possession pertaining thereto. For purposes of this License Agreement, “Competitive Infringement” means any allegedly infringing activity in the Field (which, for the purposes of this definition, will include all indications and will not be limited to cancer) with respect to a Patent within the Licensed IP, which activity (a) falls within the scope then in effect of the licenses granted by Bluebird to Celgene as set forth in Sections 3.1, (b) is subject to Section 7.2(f), or (c) would be competitive with a Licensed Product and targets the same Target Antigen as such Licensed Product.

7.2Enforcement and Defense. [***]

7.3Third Party Rights. To the extent that a Third Party licensor of Bluebird has retained any right to (a) defend against a declaratory judgment action or other action challenging any Patents within the Licensed IP, (b) seek to xxxxx any Competitive Infringement of the Patents within the Licensed IP by a Third Party, or (c) take any other actions described in Section 7.2(f) for any Patent within the Licensed IP licensed to Celgene hereunder (including pursuant to an Applicable Bluebird In-License), or otherwise be involved in such activities, Bluebird will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party licensor to take the actions specified by this Section 7.3 in a manner consistent with the in-license applicable thereto, but Bluebird will not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under this Section 7.3 if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by such Third Party licensor.

8.Confidentiality.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that terms of this License Agreement and all Materials, ideas and information of any kind, whether in written, oral, graphical, machine-readable or other form, whether or not marked as confidential or proprietary, which are transferred, disclosed or made available by a Party or at the request of a Party, including any of the foregoing of Third Parties, will be subject to the provisions of Section 10 of the Master Collaboration Agreement. The Parties agree to issue the joint press release on Appendix E promptly following the License Agreement Effective Date. A redacted version of this License Agreement will be agreed to by the Parties and shall be consistent with the corresponding redacted version of this License Agreement in such manner as is provided in Section 8.3 of the Master Collaboration Agreement.

9.4[***]

9.5Performance by Others. The Parties recognize that each Party may perform some or all of its obligations under this License Agreement through Affiliates and permitted subcontractors provided, however, that each Party will remain responsible and liable for the performance by its Affiliates and permitted subcontractors and will cause its Affiliates and permitted subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this License Agreement in connection therewith.

9.6Indemnification.

(a)Indemnification by Celgene. Celgene will indemnify Bluebird, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, Third Party licensors and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, “Bluebird Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any and all suits, investigations, claims or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) against the Bluebird Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) the material breach by Celgene of any term of this License Agreement; (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Celgene in performing its obligations under this License Agreement; or (iii) the Development or Commercialization by or on behalf of Celgene or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of Elected Candidate or Licensed Product, except in each case for those Losses for which Bluebird has an obligation to indemnify Celgene pursuant to Section 9.6(b), as to which Losses each Party will indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability; provided, however, that Celgene will not be obligated to indemnify Bluebird Indemnitees for any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Bluebird Indemnitee.

(b)Indemnification by Bluebird. Bluebird will indemnify Celgene, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, “Celgene Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all Third Party Claims against Celgene Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) the material breach by Bluebird of any term of this License Agreement; (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Bluebird in performing its obligations under this License Agreement; or (iii) the Development by or on behalf of Bluebird or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of Elected Candidate or Licensed Product, except in each case for those Losses for which Celgene has an obligation to indemnify Bluebird pursuant to Section 9.6(a), as to which Losses each Party will indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for the Losses; provided, however, that Bluebird will not be obligated to indemnify Celgene Indemnitees for any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Celgene Indemnitee.

(c)Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims provided for in Sections 9.6(a) and 9.6(b) will be made solely by such Party to this License Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party will promptly notify the indemnifying Party (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or the discovery of any fact upon which the Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Sections 9.6(a) and 9.6(b), but in no event will the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and estimated amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.

(d)Defense, Settlement, Cooperation and Expenses.

however that (A) the Third Party Claim solely seeks monetary damages and (B) the indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the indemnifying Party will be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in full and is able to reasonably demonstrate that it has sufficient financial resources (the matters described in (A) and (B), the “Litigation Conditions”). The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party will not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor will it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party (the indemnifying Party will consult with the Indemnified Party with respect to a possible conflict of interest of such counsel retained by the indemnifying Party). In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 9.6(d)(ii), the indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal costs or expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may, at any time, assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if at any time the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Third Party Claims incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.

(ii)Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 9.6(d)(i), any Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Party’s own cost and expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, (B) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 9.6(d)(i) (in which case the Indemnified Party will control the defense), (C) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles, or (D) the indemnifying Party no longer satisfies the Litigation Conditions, in which case the indemnifying Party will assume [***] percent ([***]) of any such costs and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party.

to agree to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, will deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.6(d)(i), the indemnifying Party will have authority to agree to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.

(a)Breach. Celgene will have the right to terminate this License Agreement in full upon delivery of written notice to Bluebird in the event of any material breach by Bluebird of any terms and conditions of this License Agreement in a manner that fundamentally frustrates the transactions contemplated by this License Agreement, provided that such termination will not be effective if such breach has been cured within [***] after written notice thereof is given by Celgene to Bluebird specifying the nature of the alleged breach (or, if such default cannot be cured within such [***] period, within [***] after such notice if Bluebird commences actions to cure such default within such [***] period and thereafter diligently continues such actions, but fails to cure the default by the end of such [***].

(c)Alternative to Termination Under Section 10.3(a). If Celgene has the right to terminate this License Agreement under Section 10.3(a) (including expiration of all applicable cure periods thereunder), in lieu of exercising such termination right, Celgene may elect once by written notice to Bluebird before the end of such applicable cure period to have this License Agreement continue in full force and effect and instead have, starting immediately after the end of such applicable cure period, any future Milestone Payments set forth in Section 4.2 and the royalty rates set forth in the table set forth in Section 4.3(a) be reduced by [***], provided that such

Celgene will be responsible for any costs associated with such wind-down. Bluebird will pay all costs incurred by either Party to complete such studies should Bluebird request that such studies be completed.

(b)Sublicenses. A termination of this License Agreement will not automatically terminate any sublicense granted by Celgene pursuant to Section 3.3 for Commercialization rights with respect to a non-Affiliated Sublicensee, provided that (i) such Sublicensee is not then (A) in material breach of any provision of this License Agreement or (B) in material breach of the applicable sublicense agreement or otherwise in breach of such sublicense agreement in a manner that would give rise to a right of termination on the part of Celgene, (ii) if Bluebird terminates this License Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2(a) for Celgene’s failure to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder, such Sublicensee agrees to and does pay to Bluebird all outstanding amounts that accrued as a result of such Sublicensee’s activities under the sublicense, (iii) Bluebird will have the right to step into the role of Celgene as sublicensor under any such sublicense executed after the License Agreement Effective Date, with all the rights that Celgene had under such sublicense, solely with respect to the Licensed IP, prior to termination of this License Agreement (including the right to receive any payments to Celgene by such Sublicensee that accrue from and after the date of the termination of this License Agreement solely with respect to the Licensed IP), (iv) such Sublicensee will pay to Bluebird all amounts that Celgene would have been obligated to pay to Bluebird hereunder with respect to such Sublicensee’s activities had this License Agreement not terminated (less any amounts received by Bluebird in clause (iii) above) and (v) the survival of such sublicense will not result in an imposition of any additional obligations on the part of Bluebird that are not included within the scope of this License Agreement. Celgene will include in any sublicense agreement executed after the License Agreement Effective Date that relates solely to the Licensed IP a provision in which said Sublicensee acknowledges its obligations to Bluebird under this Section 10.4(b).

(c)Cessation of Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 10.4(b), all rights and licenses granted by Bluebird to Celgene in Section 3 will terminate, and Celgene and its Affiliates and Sublicensees will cease all use of Licensed IP and all Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of Elected Candidate and Licensed Product.

terminated by Bluebird pursuant to Section 10.2(a)), all Regulatory Approvals and other regulatory filings and communications owned (in whole or in part) or otherwise Controlled by Celgene and its Affiliates and Sublicensees solely relating to the Elected Candidate and/or Licensed Product, and all other documents solely relating to and necessary to further Develop and Commercialize Elected Candidate and Licensed Product, as such items exist as of the effective date of such termination (including all solely related completed and ongoing clinical studies) will be assigned to Bluebird, and Celgene will provide to Bluebird one (1) copy of the foregoing and all documents contained in or referenced in any such items, together with the raw and summarized data for any clinical studies (and where reasonably available, electronic copies thereof). In the event of failure to obtain assignment, subject to the Parties agreeing on commercially reasonable compensation for the right to access and reference, Celgene hereby consents and grants to Bluebird the right to access and reference (without any further action required on the part of Celgene, whose authorization to file this consent with any Regulatory Authority is hereby granted) any such item.

(e)Licenses. Subject to Bluebird paying (i) commercially reasonable compensation to Celgene for the licenses to be granted pursuant to subsection (A) of this Section 10.4(e) (such compensation to either be mutually agreed to or determined through arbitration as provided in Section 10.4(g) below, and such compensation to be reduced by [***] from what would be commercially reasonable compensation if this License Agreement is terminated by Bluebird pursuant to Section 10.2(a)), and (ii) amounts payable to Celgene’s applicable licensors as set forth below, Celgene will grant to Bluebird and its Affiliates (A) a worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable, nontransferable (except in connection with a permitted assignment of this License Agreement in accordance with Section 11.12), exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers (subject to Section 3.3(b), mutatis mutandis), under the Celgene Licensed Product IP, and (B) an exclusive sublicense under the Celgene Licensed Product In-Licensed IP, in each case ((A) and (B)) to the extent such Celgene Licensed Product IP and Celgene Licensed Product In-Licensed IP are used in or Cover the Licensed Product as of the effective date of termination and to the extent such Celgene Licensed Product IP and Celgene Licensed Product In-Licensed IP exist as of the effective date of such termination (including in each case any additions, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, invention certificates, substitutions, reissues, reexaminations, extensions, registrations, supplementary protection certificates and renewals of such Celgene Licensed Product IP and Celgene Licensed Product In-Licensed IP) solely to the extent necessary to research, Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Elected Candidate and Licensed Product. With respect to grants of a sublicense under subsection (B) above, Bluebird will be responsible for all amounts payable to the applicable licensor, excluding maintenance fee payments, payments that are trigged by the grant of a sublicense (but including payments triggered by further grants of sublicenses by Bluebird or its sublicensees) and Patent Costs, that are attributable to Bluebird as a sublicensee thereunder under this License Agreement and Celgene will pay same and Bluebird will reimburse Celgene for [***] of such payments within thirty (30) days of receipt of Celgene’s written invoice therefor. Celgene will provide Bluebird with copies of all applicable Celgene Licensed Product In-Licenses promptly following the effective date of the termination of this License Agreement. The Prosecution and Maintenance and enforcement and defense rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to any Patents licensed or sublicensed to Bluebird pursuant to this Section 10.4(e) will be discussed and agreed to by the Parties, with the understanding that such Prosecution and Maintenance and enforcement and defense rights and

obligations will be substantially similar to those set forth in Section 6, with the roles of Bluebird and Celgene reversed (and such other changes as are appropriate from the context, and taking into account any rights retained by a Third Party licensor of Celgene to Prosecute and Maintain or enforce and defend any Patent sublicensed to Bluebird under this Section 10.4(e)). Bluebird will abide, and will cause all its Affiliates and applicable sublicensees to abide, by all requirements of each Celgene Licensed Product In-License under which Bluebird is sublicensed under this Section 10.4(e) in all material respects (and in any case in all respects in the case that failure to so abide would result in a breach under the Celgene Licensed Product In-License), to the extent applicable to sublicensees thereunder and to the extent disclosed by Celgene to Bluebird, with the understanding that disclosure by Celgene of any Celgene Licensed Product In-License to Bluebird will be deemed disclosure of such requirements of such Celgene Licensed Product In-License to Bluebird.

(f)Trademarks. Subject to Bluebird paying commercially reasonable compensation to Celgene for the license to be granted pursuant to this Section 10.4(f) (such compensation to either be mutually agreed to or determined through arbitration as provided in Section 10.4(g) below, and such compensation to be reduced by [***] from what would be commercially reasonable compensation if this License Agreement is terminated by Bluebird pursuant to Section 10.2(a)), Celgene will exclusively license to Bluebird any registered or unregistered trademarks or internet domain names that are specific to and solely used for the Licensed Product worldwide (it being understood that the foregoing will not include any trademarks or internet domain names that contain the corporate or business name(s) of Celgene).

(g)Commercially Reasonable Compensation. If the Parties are unable to agree on the amount of commercially reasonable compensation payable by Bluebird to Celgene pursuant to Sections 10.4(d), 10.4(e) or 10.4(f) within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination of this License Agreement, [***].

(h)Country Termination. If this License Agreement is terminated only with respect to a specific country pursuant to Section 10.2(b), the provisions of this Section 10.4 will apply only with respect to such terminated country.

2.Overview.

2.1General. During the CCPS Agreement Term, the Parties will conduct the Development and Commercialization of Elected Candidate and Licensed Product worldwide on the terms and conditions set forth in this CCPS Agreement.

2.2Roles and Responsibilities; Diligence.

(a)The JGC will assign to each Party roles and responsibilities for performing the U.S. Development & Commercialization Program. Each Party, directly or through one or more of its Affiliates, Sublicensees or permitted subcontractors, will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform the obligations assigned to such Party by the JGC under the U.S. Development & Commercialization Program. Each Party will reasonably cooperate with the other Party in performing such obligations.

(b)Celgene will assume sole responsibility for, and control of, Developing Elected Candidate and Licensed Product in the Field outside of the United States, and will establish a ROW Development & Commercialization Program for that purpose. Bluebird will reasonably cooperate with Celgene in such ROW Development & Commercialization Program.

2.3Technical Assistance. During the Collaboration Program Term, Bluebird will reasonably cooperate with Celgene to provide all technical assistance, and to transfer to Celgene any additional Know-How licensed to Celgene under Section 10.1, requested by Celgene to facilitate the transfer of Development efforts related to Elected Candidate and Licensed Product. Such cooperation will include providing Celgene with reasonable access by teleconference or in-person at Bluebird’s facilities to Bluebird personnel involved in the research and Development of Elected Candidate to provide Celgene with a reasonable level of technical assistance and consultation in connection with the transfer of such Know-How. Following the Collaboration Program Term, Bluebird will reasonably cooperate with Celgene to provide reasonable amounts of technical assistance, including to transfer to Celgene any additional Know-How licensed to Celgene under Section 10.1, with respect to Elected Candidate or Licensed Product as reasonably requested by Celgene with reasonable advance notice to Bluebird. Any dispute with respect to the amount and completeness of the technical assistance and cooperation to be provided by Bluebird under this Section 2.3 will be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration by a mutually agreeable, disinterested, conflict-of-interest-free individual not affiliated or consulting with either Party. Any such arbitration will be conducted under the then-current rules of the American Arbitration Association.

3.Governance and Joint Governance Committee.

3.1Joint Governance Committee.

(a)Governance Committee. As soon as practicable following the CCPS Agreement Effective Date, the Parties will establish a Joint Governance Committee, comprised of three (3) representatives of Bluebird and three (3) representatives of Celgene (the “JGC”). Each Party may replace its representatives on the JGC or its Program Director at any time upon written notice to the other Party. With the consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), each Party may

invite non-voting employees and consultants (including Xx. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx) to attend meetings of the JGC, subject to their agreement to be bound to the same extent as a permitted subcontractor under Section 8.4.

(b)Meetings. While in existence, the JGC will meet each calendar quarter and, at a minimum, two (2) of such meetings each calendar year will be in person (which in-person meeting will be held at locations mutually agreed by the Parties). In addition, either Party can call a meeting of the JGC on five (5) business days prior written notice. Meetings of the JGC will be effective only if at least one (1) representative of each Party is present or participating. Each Party will be responsible for all of its own expenses of participating in the meetings. The Parties will endeavor to schedule the calendar quarterly meetings of the JGC at least six (6) months in advance. The Parties will alternate in preparing and circulating a meeting agenda prior to each such meeting. The Party that prepared the agenda (or called the meeting) will prepare written minutes of such meeting, and the preparing Party will circulate such minutes within fifteen (15) days after such meeting. The Parties will agree on the minutes of each meeting promptly, but in no event later than the next meeting of the JGC.

(c)Responsibilities. The JGC will supervise the overall performance of the Development and Commercialization of Elected Candidate and Licensed Product for U.S. Administration, and within such scope will:

(i)Make all decisions regarding the Parties’ performance of the U.S. Development & Commercialization Program (except as otherwise expressly provided in this CCPS Agreement), including, subject to Section 2.2, which Party will have which responsibilities under the U.S. Development & Commercialization Program (taking into account each Party’s reasonably available resources and expertise (either directly or through Third Party contracting));

(ii)Review and seek to coordinate the U.S. Development & Commercialization Program with the ROW Development & Commercialization Program;

(iii)Address all matters specifically delegated to the JGC pursuant to this CCPS Agreement;

(iv)Form such other committees as the JGC may deem appropriate, and require that such committees meet at such times and places, provided that such committees may make recommendations to the JGC but may not be delegated JGC decision-making authority;

(v)Address such other matters relating to the activities of the Parties under this CCPS Agreement as either Party may bring before the JGC, including any matters that are expressly for the JGC to decide as provided in this CCPS Agreement; and

(vi)Attempt to resolve any disputes on an informal basis.

(d)Decision-making. The three (3) JGC representatives of each Party will collectively have one (1) vote, and the JGC will make decisions only by unanimous consent of each Party with respect to its vote, and each Party will act reasonably in exercising its vote. [***]

(e)Limits on JGC Authority. Each Party will retain the rights, powers and discretion granted to it under this CCPS Agreement and no such rights, powers, or discretion will be delegated to or vested in the JGC unless such delegation or vesting of rights is expressly provided for in this CCPS Agreement or the Parties expressly so agree in writing. The JGC will not have the power to, nor will the Party having the tie-breaking vote in the JGC have the power to (i) amend, modify or waive compliance with this CCPS Agreement (other than as expressly permitted hereunder), (ii) alter, increase or expand the Parties’ rights or obligations under this CCPS Agreement (other than as permitted by Section 2.2), (iii) determine that a Party has fulfilled any obligations under this CCPS Agreement or that a Party has breached any obligation

under this CCPS Agreement, (iv) make a decision that is expressly stated to require the mutual agreement of the Parties, or (v) determine that milestone events required for the payment of milestone payments have or have not occurred. For avoidance of doubt, the JGC will have no right to supervise or direct the Development and Commercialization of Elected Candidate or Licensed Product for ROW Administration, and Celgene will have sole decision making authority with respect to such Development and Commercialization, including with respect to the ROW Development & Commercialization Program.

(f)Term. The JGC will cease to exist upon the end of the CCPS Agreement Term, unless the Parties elect to extend the JGC upon termination of expiration of this CCPS Agreement.

13.Patent Prosecution and Maintenance.

13.1Generally. Subject to Sections 13.2 and 13.3, each Party will have the sole right to Prosecute and Maintain Patents within its respective Licensed IP. Bluebird will use commercially reasonable efforts to, where applicable and permitted under applicable Law and upon Celgene’s reasonable request, separate parent Patent applications within the Bluebird Licensed IP into one or more separate Patent applications for Specific Patents, where doing so would not reasonably be expected to materially harm any Patent within the Bluebird Licensed IP or other Patents owned by Bluebird or its Affiliates, provided that the foregoing limitation will not apply to Bluebird Licensed IP that is Collaboration IP. [***]

13.2Input. Each Party will regularly provide the other with copies of all applications for Patents within its respective Licensed IP, and all other material submissions and correspondence with any patent authorities regarding such Patents, in sufficient time to allow for review and comment by the other Party. In addition, each Party will provide the other Party and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with such Party and its counsel regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents within the Field, and such Party will consider in good faith all such comments timely made by such other Party and its counsel. In the event of any disagreement between the Parties, the licensor Party will have the final decision-making authority with respect to the matter involved as long as the licensor Party acts in good faith.

13.3Specific Patents. For any Patent within the Bluebird Licensed IP [***] (each “Specific Patent”), the following will apply: upon Celgene’s written request, and provided that Bluebird reasonably agrees with Celgene that the following Prosecution and Maintenance activities would not materially harm any other Patent within the Bluebird Licensed IP or other Patents owned by Bluebird or its Affiliates (other than Collaboration IP), Celgene will control the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Specific Patents, and notwithstanding anything in Section 13.1 to the contrary, Celgene will be solely responsible for the payment of all related Patent Costs. In addition, Celgene will provide Bluebird and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Celgene and its counsel regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Specific Patents, and Celgene will include or reflect all reasonable comments timely made by Bluebird and its counsel. Celgene acknowledges and agrees that Bluebird may grant similar rights to other exclusive Third Party licensees under any Patent within the Bluebird Licensed IP that has claims Covering only a product that is not a Licensed Product (or its manufacture or use) and no other product (or its manufacture or use), other than Specific Patents. If the Parties cannot agree whether or not any Patent within the Bluebird Licensed IP is a Specific Patent, or if Bluebird claims that the foregoing Prosecution and Maintenance activities would materially harm any other Patent within the Bluebird Licensed IP or other Patents owned by Bluebird or any of its Affiliates, either of the Parties may refer such dispute to a mutually agreeable, disinterested, conflict-of-interest-free individual not affiliated or consulting with either Party and who has at least fifteen (15) years of patent prosecution experience in the pharmaceutical field. Any such arbitration will be conducted under the then-current rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the decision of the arbitrator will be final.

13.4Election Not to Prosecute or Maintain or Pay Patent Costs. If a Party elects not (i) to Prosecute or Maintain any Patents within its respective Licensed IP in any particular country before the applicable filing deadline or continue such activities once filed in a particular country, or (ii) to pay the Patent Costs associated with Prosecution or Maintenance of any Patents within the Licensed IP as required by Section 13.1, then in each such case such first Party will so notify the other Party, promptly in writing and in good time to enable any deadlines by which an action must be taken to preserve such Patent in such country to be met. Upon receipt of each such notice by such first Party, such other Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to notify such first Party in writing on a timely basis that such other Party will continue the Prosecution or Maintenance of such Patent on terms the Parties shall mutually agree; it being understood that only U.S. Patents controlled by Celgene will be subject to this sentence. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, upon receipt of each such notice by Bluebird, Celgene will have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Bluebird in writing on a timely basis that Celgene will assume control of the Prosecution or Maintenance of such Patent within the Bluebird Licensed IP, and bear the Patent Costs thereafter incurred by Celgene with respect thereto. In addition, Celgene will provide Bluebird and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Celgene and its counsel regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents, and Celgene will include or reflect all reasonable comments timely made by Bluebird and its counsel. If after making such election, Celgene elects not to pay the Patent Costs associated with Prosecution or Maintenance of any such Patent, then in each such case Celgene will so notify Bluebird and on the ninetieth (90^th) day after Bluebird’s receipt of such notice such Patent will no longer be licensed to Celgene hereunder and will no longer be included within the “Bluebird Licensed IP” hereunder.

13.5Third Party Rights. To the extent that a Third Party licensor of a Party has retained any right to Prosecute or Maintain any Patent within such Party’s Licensed IP licensed to the other Party hereunder, or otherwise be involved in such activities, such Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party licensor to take the actions specified by this Section 13 (including Sections 13.6 and 13.7) in a manner consistent with the in-license applicable thereto, but such Party will not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under this Section 13 if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by such Third Party licensor.

13.7Regulatory Exclusivity Periods. With respect to any Patent listings required for any Regulatory Exclusivity Periods for Product, the Parties will mutually agree on which Patents within the Licensed IP to list, provided that if the Parties are not able to agree, Celgene will have the right to make the final decision, and provided further that the exercise of such right by Celgene will not increase or otherwise change the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder.

13.8Cooperation. Each Party will reasonably cooperate with the other Party in the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents within the Licensed IP. Such cooperation includes promptly executing all documents, or requiring inventors, subcontractors, employees and consultants and agents of such Party and its Affiliates and Sublicensees to execute all documents, as reasonable and appropriate so as to enable the Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents in any country.

13.9Patent Marking. For Licensed Product for U.S. Administration, the JGC will determine the Patent marking requirements in accordance with applicable Law.

With regard to any information or opinions disclosed pursuant to this CCPS Agreement by one Party to the other Party regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent within the Licensed IP, or enforcement of intellectual property and/or technology by or against Third Parties, Bluebird and Celgene agree that they have a common legal interest in determining the ownership,

scope, validity and/or enforcement of the Licensed IP, and whether, and to what extent, Third Party intellectual property rights may affect the conduct of the Development and Commercialization of any Licensed Product, and have a further common legal interest in defending against any actual or prospective Third Party claims based on allegations of misuse or infringement of intellectual property rights relating to the Development or Commercialization of any Licensed Product. Accordingly, the Parties agree that all such information and materials obtained by the Parties from each other will be used solely for purposes of the Parties’ common legal interests with respect to the conduct of the Agreement. All such information and materials will be treated as protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege, and any other privilege or immunity that may otherwise be applicable. By sharing any such information and materials, neither Party intends to waive or limit any privilege or immunity that may apply to the shared information and materials. Neither Party will have the authority to waive any privilege or immunity on behalf of the other Party without such other Party’s prior written consent, nor will the waiver of privilege or immunity resulting from the conduct of one Party be deemed to apply against any other Party. This Section 13.10 will be subject to any right granted by either Party to any Third Party, provided that the grant of such right to such Third Party does not conflict with the other Party’s rights or the first Party’s obligations under this CCPS Agreement.

The Parties recognize that each Party may perform some or all of its obligations under this CCPS Agreement through Affiliates and permitted subcontractors provided, however, that each Party will remain responsible and liable for the performance by its Affiliates and permitted subcontractors and will cause its Affiliates and permitted subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this CCPS Agreement in connection therewith.

16.6Indemnification.

(a)Indemnification by Celgene. Celgene will indemnify Bluebird, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, Third Party licensors and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, “Bluebird Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any and all suits, investigations, claims or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) against the Bluebird Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) the material breach by Celgene of any term of this CCPS Agreement; (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Celgene in performing its obligations under this CCPS Agreement; (iii) the Development or Commercialization by or on behalf of Celgene or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of Elected Candidate or Licensed Product for ROW Administration, and (iv) [***], except in each case for those Losses for which Bluebird has an obligation to indemnify Celgene

pursuant to Section 16.6(b), as to which Losses each Party will indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability; provided, however, that Celgene will not be obligated to indemnify Bluebird Indemnitees for any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Bluebird Indemnitee.

(b)Indemnification by Bluebird. Bluebird will indemnify Celgene, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, “Celgene Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all Third Party Claims against the Celgene Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) the material breach by Bluebird of any term of this CCPS Agreement; (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Bluebird in performing its obligations under this CCPS Agreement; or (iii) the Development by or on behalf of Bluebird or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of Elected Candidate or Licensed Product, except in each case for those Losses for which Celgene has an obligation to indemnify Bluebird pursuant to Section 16.6(a), as to which Losses each Party will indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for the Losses; provided, however, that Bluebird will not be obligated to indemnify Celgene Indemnitees for any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Celgene Indemnitee.

(c)Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims provided for in Sections 16.6(a) and 16.6(b) will be made solely by such Party to this CCPS Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party will promptly notify the indemnifying Party (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or the discovery of any fact upon which the Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 16.6(a) and 16.6(b), but in no event will the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and estimated amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.

(d)Defense, Settlement, Cooperation and Expenses.

(i)Control of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice, provided however that (A) the Third Party Claim solely seeks monetary damages and (B) the indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the indemnifying Party will be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in full and is able to reasonably demonstrate that it has sufficient financial resources (the matters described in (A) and (B), the “Litigation Conditions”). The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party will not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor will it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party (the indemnifying Party will consult with the Indemnified Party with respect to a possible conflict of interest of such counsel retained by the indemnifying Party). The Indemnified Party may, at any time, assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if at any time the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Claim. In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a

Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 16.6(d)(ii) the indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal costs or expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Third Party Claims incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.

(ii)Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 16.6(d)(i), any Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Party’s own cost and expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 16.6(d)(i) (in which case the Indemnified Party will control the defense), (iii) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles, or (iv) the indemnifying Party no longer satisfies the Litigation Conditions, in which case the indemnifying Party will assume [***] percent ([***]%) of any such costs and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party.

(iii)Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claims that relate solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affecting the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the indemnifying Party will have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, and subject to the Litigation Conditions being satisfied, the indemnifying Party will have the sole right to agree to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, will deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 16.6(d)(i), the indemnifying Party will have authority to agree to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party will admit any liability with respect to or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(v)Costs and Expenses. Except as provided above in this Section 16.6(d), the costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim will be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

16.7Insurance . Each Party will maintain at its sole cost and expense, an adequate liability insurance or self-insurance program (including product liability insurance) to protect against potential liabilities and risk arising out of activities to be performed under this CCPS Agreement, and any agreement related hereto and upon such terms (including coverages, deductible limits and self-insured retentions) as are customary in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry for the activities to be conducted by such Party under this CCPS Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, such liability insurance or self-insurance program will insure against all types of liability, including personal injury, physical injury or property damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, use, distribution or marketing of Licensed Product. The coverage limits set forth herein will not create any limitation on a Party’s liability to the other under this CCPS Agreement.

16.8U.S. Administration Liabilities. In the event that either Party (i) incurs any Losses in connection with a Third Party Claim for personal injury or death caused by the use of Licensed Product for U.S. Administration, or (ii) is required to make payments to any Third Party in order to acquire a license or other rights under Patents or Know-How necessary for the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Product for U.S. Administration (collectively, “U.S. Administration Liabilities”), such U.S. Administrative Losses arising from or occurring as a result of the performance, in good faith, of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Product for U.S. Administration in accordance with this CCPS Agreement will be charged to such Party’s Operating Profit or Loss under the Profit & Loss Share, provided that Operating Profit or Loss will not include U.S. Administration Liabilities of a Party or its Affiliates: (1) that are caused by a breach of this CCPS Agreement by such Party or its Affiliates; (2) incurred with respect to or allocable to products other than Licensed Product for U.S. Administration; or (3) that are subject to indemnification by such Party pursuant to Section 16.6 (and for clarity, if a Third Party makes a Third Party Claim directly against Bluebird (or any of its Affiliates) or Celgene (or any of its Affiliates), respectively, that would otherwise be indemnified by Bluebird or Celgene, respectively, if such Third Party Claim had been made against the other Party (or any of its Affiliates), then U.S. Administration Liabilities incurred by Bluebird or Celgene in connection with such direct Third Party Claim will not be included in the calculation of Operating Profit or Loss).

17.Term and Termination.

17.1Term. This CCPS Agreement will commence as of the CCPS Agreement Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or by mutual written consent, will continue on a country-by-country basis, until there are no more payments owed one or the other Party on Licensed Product in such country (the longest such period of time for any Licensed Product hereunder, the “CCPS Agreement Term”); for clarity, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or by mutual written consent, this CCPS Agreement Term will continue in all events until Licensed Product is no longer being Developed or Commercialized in the United States. Upon there being no more such payments hereunder for any such Licensed Product in such country (other than the United States), the licenses contained in Section 10.1 will become fully paid up and will remain exclusive with respect to such Licensed Product in such country.

17.2Termination by Bluebird.

(a)Breach. Bluebird will have the right to terminate this CCPS Agreement in full upon delivery of written notice to Celgene in the event of any material breach by Celgene of any terms and conditions of this CCPS Agreement in a manner that fundamentally frustrates the transactions contemplated by this CCPS Agreement, provided that such termination will not be effective if such breach, has been cured within [***] after written notice thereof is given by Bluebird to Celgene specifying the nature of the alleged breach (or, if such default cannot be cured within such [***] after such notice if Celgene commences actions to cure such default within such [***] and thereafter diligently continues such actions, but fails to cure the default by the end of such [***]); provided, however, that to the extent such material breach involves the failure to make a payment when due, such breach must be cured within [***] after written notice thereof is given by Bluebird to Celgene.

(b)[***]

(c)Termination of the Profit & Loss Share. Bluebird will have the right to terminate the Profit & Loss Share by delivering written notice to Celgene, such termination to be effective [***] following the date of such notice. Promptly following such notice, the Parties will enter into a license agreement with respect to the United States and the ROW, which agreement will be substantially identical to the License Agreement, with such changes that the Parties may, acting reasonably, mutually agree are required in order to address any specific facts or circumstances existing at the time of such termination. The Parties will enter into such license agreement no later than the effective date of such termination and, if such license agreement is not entered into prior the expiration of such [***], upon execution, the effective date of such license agreement will be deemed to be the effective date of such termination. For clarity, (i) termination of the Profit & Loss Share pursuant to this Section 17.2(c) will not release Bluebird from any obligation or liability which, at the time of the effective date of such termination, has already accrued to Celgene or which is attributable to a period prior to the effective date of such termination, and (ii) any events that have already occurred before the effective date of such termination (such as achievement of any milestones) will not trigger any payment obligation by Celgene to Bluebird under such executed license agreement (other than, for clarity, the Milestone Payment based on the Pivotal Study if not already paid or accrued under this CCPS Agreement).

17.3Termination by Celgene.

(a)Breach. Celgene will have the right to terminate this CCPS Agreement in full upon delivery of written notice to Bluebird in the event of any material breach by Bluebird of any terms and conditions of this CCPS Agreement in a manner that fundamentally frustrates the transactions contemplated by this CCPS Agreement, provided that such termination will not be effective if such breach has been cured within [***] after written notice thereof is given by Celgene to Bluebird specifying the nature of the alleged breach (or, if such default cannot be cured within such [***], within [***] after such notice if Bluebird commences actions to cure such default within such [***] period and thereafter diligently continues such actions, but fails to cure the default by the end of such [***].

(b)Discretionary Termination. Beginning with [***], Celgene will have the right to terminate this CCPS Agreement in full, at its discretion for any reason, by delivering written notice to Bluebird, such termination to be effective [***] following the date of such notice.

(c)[***]

(d)Alternative to Termination Under Section 17.3(a). If Celgene has the right to terminate this CCPS Agreement under Section 17.3(a) or 17.3(c) (including expiration of all applicable cure periods thereunder), in lieu of exercising such termination right, Celgene may elect once by written notice to

Bluebird before the end of such applicable cure period to have this CCPS Agreement continue in full force and effect and instead have, starting immediately after the end of such applicable cure period, any future Milestone Payments set forth in Section 11.2(b) and the royalty rates set forth in the table set forth in Section 11.3(a) be reduced by [***], provided that such reduction will not apply if such future Milestone Payments and royalty rates have already been reduced pursuant to Section 11.4(c) of the Master Collaboration Agreement.

17.4Effects of Termination or Expiration. Upon termination (but not expiration pursuant to Section 17.1) of this CCPS Agreement for any reason:

(b)Sublicenses. A termination of this CCPS Agreement will not automatically terminate any sublicense granted by Celgene pursuant to Section 10.3 for Commercialization rights with respect to a non-Affiliated Sublicensee, provided that (i) such Sublicensee is not then (a) in material breach of any provision of this CCPS Agreement or (b) in material breach of the applicable sublicense agreement or otherwise in breach of such sublicense agreement in a manner that would give rise to a right of termination on the part of Celgene, (ii) if Bluebird terminates this CCPS Agreement pursuant to Section 17.2(a) for Celgene’s failure to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder, such Sublicensee agrees to and does pay to Bluebird all outstanding amounts that accrued as a result of such Sublicensee’s activities under the sublicense, (iii) Bluebird will have the right to step into the role of Celgene as sublicensor under any such sublicense executed after the CCPS Agreement Effective Date, with all the rights that Celgene had under such sublicense, solely with respect to the Bluebird Licensed IP, prior to termination of this CCPS Agreement (including the right to receive any payments to Celgene by such Sublicensee that accrue from and after the date of the termination of this CCPS Agreement solely with respect to the Bluebird Licensed IP), (iv) such Sublicensee will pay to Bluebird all amounts that Celgene would have been obligated to pay to Bluebird hereunder with respect to such Sublicensee’s activities had this CCPS Agreement not terminated (less any amounts received by Bluebird in clause (iii) above) and (v) the survival of such sublicense will not result in an imposition of any additional obligations on the part of Bluebird that are not included within the scope of this CCPS Agreement. Celgene will include in any sublicense agreement executed after the CCPS Agreement Effective Date that relates solely to the Bluebird Licensed IP a provision in which said Sublicensee acknowledges its obligations to Bluebird under this Section 17.4(b).

(c)Cessation of Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 17, all rights and licenses granted by Bluebird to Celgene in Section 10.1 will terminate, and all rights granted by Celgene to Bluebird in Section 10.2 will terminate, and Celgene and its Affiliates and Sublicensees will cease all use of Bluebird Licensed IP and all Development and Commercialization of Elected Candidate and Licensed Product.

(d)Regulatory Approvals. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, and subject to Bluebird paying commercially reasonable compensation to Celgene for the assets to be transferred pursuant to this Section 17.4(d) (such compensation to either be mutually agreed to or determined through arbitration as provided in Section 17.4(g) below, and such compensation to be reduced by [***] from what would be commercially reasonable compensation if this CCPS Agreement is terminated by Bluebird pursuant to Section 17.2(a)), all Regulatory Approvals and other regulatory filings and communications owned (in whole or in part) or otherwise Controlled by Celgene and its Affiliates and Sublicensees solely relating to

the Elected Candidate and/or Licensed Product, and all other documents solely relating to and necessary to further Develop and Commercialize Elected Candidate and Licensed Product, as such items exist as of the effective date of such termination (including all solely related completed and ongoing clinical studies) will be assigned to Bluebird, and Celgene will provide to Bluebird one (1) copy of the foregoing and all documents contained in or referenced in any such items, together with the raw and summarized data for any clinical studies (and where reasonably available, electronic copies thereof). In the event of failure to obtain assignment, subject to the Parties agreeing on commercially reasonable compensation for the right to access and reference, Celgene hereby consents and grants to Bluebird the right to access and reference (without any further action required on the part of Celgene, whose authorization to file this consent with any Regulatory Authority is hereby granted) any such item.

(e)Licenses. Subject to Bluebird paying (i) commercially reasonable compensation to Celgene for the licenses to be granted pursuant to subsection (1) of this Section 17.4(e) (such compensation to either be mutually agreed to or determined through arbitration as provided in Section 17.4(g) below, and such compensation to be reduced by [***] from what would be commercially reasonable compensation if this CCPS Agreement is terminated by Bluebird pursuant to Section 17.2(a)), and (ii) amounts payable to Celgene’s licensors as set forth below, Celgene will grant to Bluebird and its Affiliates (1) a worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable, nontransferable (except in connection with a permitted assignment of this CCPS Agreement in accordance with Section 18.12), exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers (subject to Section 10.3, mutatis mutandis), under Celgene Licensed Product IP, and (2) an exclusive sublicense under the Celgene Licensed Product In-Licensed IP, in each case ((1) and (2)) to the extent such Celgene Licensed Product IP and Celgene Licensed Product In-Licensed IP are used in or Cover the Licensed Product as of the effective date of termination and to the extent such Celgene Licensed Product IP and Celgene Licensed Product In-Licensed IP exist as of the effective date of such termination (including in each case any additions, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, invention certificates, substitutions, reissues, reexaminations, extensions, registrations, supplementary protection certificates and renewals of such Celgene Licensed Product IP and Celgene Licensed Product In-Licensed IP), solely to the extent necessary to research, Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Elected Candidate and Licensed Product. With respect to grants of a sublicense under subsection (2) above, Bluebird will be responsible for all amounts payable to the applicable licensor that are attributable to Bluebird as a sublicensee thereunder under this CCPS Agreement, and Celgene will pay same and Bluebird will reimburse Celgene for [***] percent [***]%) of such payments within thirty (30) days of receipt of Celgene’s written invoice therefor. Celgene will provide Bluebird with copies of all applicable Celgene Licensed Product In-Licenses promptly following the effective date of the termination of this License Agreement. The Prosecution and Maintenance and enforcement and defense rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to any Patents licensed or sublicensed to Bluebird pursuant to this Section 17.4(e) will be discussed and agreed to by the Parties, with the understanding that such Prosecution and Maintenance and enforcement and defense rights and obligations will be substantially similar to those set forth in Section 13, with the roles of Bluebird and Celgene reversed (and such other changes as are appropriate from the context, and taking into account any rights retained by a Third Party licensor of Celgene to Prosecute and Maintain or enforce and defend any Patent sublicensed to Bluebird under this Section 17.4(e)).

(f)Trademarks. Subject to Bluebird paying commercially reasonable compensation to Celgene for the license to be granted pursuant to this Section 17.4(f) (such compensation to either be mutually agreed to or determined through arbitration as provided in Section 17.4(g) below, and such compensation to be reduced by [***] from what would be commercially reasonable compensation if this CCPS Agreement is terminated by Bluebird pursuant to Section 17.2(a)), Celgene will exclusively license to Bluebird any registered or unregistered trademarks or internet domain names that are specific to and

solely used for the Licensed Product worldwide (it being understood that the foregoing will not include any trademarks or internet domain names that contain the corporate or business name(s) of Celgene).

(g)Commercially Reasonable Compensation. If the Parties are unable to agree on the amount of commercially reasonable compensation payable by Bluebird to Celgene pursuant to Sections 17.4(d), 17.4(e) or 17.4(f) within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination of this CCPS Agreement, [***].

(h)Country Termination. If this CCPS Agreement is terminated only with respect to a specific country pursuant to Section 11.2(b) or Section 11.3(c), the provisions of this Section 17.4 will apply only with respect to such terminated country.

17.5Survival. In addition to the termination consequences set forth in Section 17.4, the following provisions will survive termination or expiration of this CCPS Agreement: Sections 1, 4.3, 8.2, 8.3(b), 10.3(c) (mutatis mutandis with respect to licenses granted to Bluebird under Section 17.4, but excluding subsections (i) and (ii) of Section 10.3(c)) 10.6, 10.8, 11.5, 11.6, 12, 15, 16.3, 16.4, 16.6, 16.7, 16.8, 17.4, 17.5, 17.6 and 18, and Appendix F (to the extent required to provide for a true up of Operating Profit and Losses during the term of this CCPS Agreement following termination of this CCPS Agreement). Termination or expiration of this CCPS Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this CCPS Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. All other rights and obligations will terminate upon expiration of this CCPS Agreement.

17.6Right to Set-off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this CCPS Agreement, each Party has the right at all times to retain and set off against all amounts due and owing to the other Party as determined in a final judgment any damages recovered by such Party for any Losses incurred by such Party.

18.General Provisions.

18.1Cumulative Remedies and Irreparable Harm. All rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder will be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies provided hereunder or available by agreement, at law or otherwise. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that breach of any of the terms or conditions of this CCPS Agreement would cause irreparable harm and damage to the other and that such damage may not be ascertainable in money damages and that as a result thereof the non-breaching Party would be entitled to seek from a court equitable or injunctive relief restraining any breach or future violation of the terms contained herein by the breaching Party without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond.
