CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of July 15, 2025 (this “Agreement”), by and between Aventis Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Parent”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Rights Agent”), is made in favor of each person who from time to time holds one or more contingent value rights to receive up to two (2) contingent cash payments (each such contingent value right, a “CVR”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, this Agreement is entered into pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 2, 2025 (as amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Blueprint Medicines Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), SANOFI, a French société anonyme (“Ultimate Parent”), Parent and Rothko Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly owned by Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub has made a tender offer (as it may be extended and amended from time to time as permitted under the Merger Agreement, the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (such shares, collectively, the “Common Shares”) and (ii) following consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger and as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”) in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as a result of the consummation of the Offer and the Merger, the holders of Common Shares and holders of Company Equity Awards will become entitled to receive the Milestone Payments contingent upon the achievement of the applicable Milestones during each Milestone Period, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement, the maximum amount payable per CVR is $6.00 in cash, without interest.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the consummation of the transactions referred to above, Parent and the Rights Agent agree, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders (as hereinafter defined), as follows:

ARTICLE II

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

Section 2.1 CVRs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Agreement shall only become effective as of, and contingent upon, the Acceptance Time and shall be void ab initio and of no effect upon the valid termination of the Merger Agreement. The CVRs represent the contractual rights of the Holders to receive contingent cash payments pursuant to the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. The initial Holders shall be the (i) holders of Common Shares accepted for purchase in the Offer pursuant to Article I of the Merger Agreement, (ii) holders of Common Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to

7

Article III of the Merger Agreement and (iii) Equity Award Holders whose Company Equity Awards are converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article III of the Merger Agreement. A list of the initial Holders shall be furnished to the Rights Agent by or on behalf of Parent in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 2.2 Nontransferable. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposition of the CVRs, in whole or in part, that is not a Permitted Transfer, will be null and void ab initio and of no effect. The CVRs will not be listed on any day quotation system or traded on any day securities exchange.

Section 2.3 No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

(a) The CVRs will be issued in book-entry form only and will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(b) The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of (i) identifying the Holders of the CVRs and (ii) registering CVRs and Permitted Transfers thereof. The CVRs shall initially, (x) in the case of the Holders (other than Equity Award Holders) be registered in the names and addresses of the respective holders as set forth in the form Parent furnishes or causes to be furnished to the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 4.1, and in a denomination equal to the number of Common Shares converted into the right to receive the Offer Consideration or the Merger Consideration (as applicable) that were held by such Holder as of immediately prior to the Acceptance Time or the Effective Time (as applicable), and (y) in the case of the Equity Award Holders, be registered in the name and address of such Equity Award Holder, as applicable, and in a denomination equal to the number of Common Shares subject to the Company Equity Awards, as applicable, held by such Equity Award Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case as set forth in a schedule delivered by the Company to Parent (the “Capitalization Schedule”). The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders or Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participants with respect to transfers of CVRs. With respect to any payments to be made under Section 2.4, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of the Common Shares sending a lump sum payment to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders. In the case of an Equity Award Holder, the CVRs held by such Equity Award Holder in respect of their Company Equity Awards shall be registered and tracked separately from those CVRs held by such Equity Award Holder in respect of Common Shares held by such Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Rights Agent hereby acknowledges the restrictions on transfer contained in Section 2.2 and agrees not to register a transfer which does not comply with Section 2.2.

(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request to transfer a CVR must be made in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and other documentation reasonably requested by the Rights Agent in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its customary policies and guidelines, which may include a guaranty of signature by an “eligible guarantor institution” that is a member or participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the

8

▇▇▇▇▇▇’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative or the Holder’s survivor, as applicable, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), notify Parent that it has received such written notice and register the transfer of such CVR in the CVR Register. Any transfer of CVRs will be without charge (other than the cost of any Tax) to the applicable Holder. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of a CVR of applicable Taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of Parent and shall entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid until registered in the CVR Register in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written request, the Rights Agent is hereby authorized to, and shall promptly, record the change of address in the CVR Register.

Section 2.4 Payment Procedures.

(a) If Milestone One is achieved at any time prior to the expiration of the Milestone One Period, then, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Milestone One Payment Date, Parent will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Rights Agent a written notice (the “Milestone One Achievement Notice”) certifying the date of the satisfaction of Milestone One and that each Holder is entitled to receive the applicable Milestone Payment Amount applicable to such Holder as a one-time cash payment. Following the delivery of the Milestone One Achievement Notice, Parent will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Rights Agent: (i) instructions to solicit Tax forms or other information required to properly make Tax deductions or withholdings in accordance with Section 2.4(e), (ii) any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent and requested by the Rights Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Milestone One Payment Date, and (iii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Milestone One Payment Date, cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Rights Agent, in an amount equal to the aggregate applicable Milestone Payment Amounts due to all Holders pursuant to Section 4.2 other than Equity Award Holders (with respect to which any such amounts payable to Equity Award Holders shall be retained by Parent for payment pursuant to Section 2.4(d)). For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the Milestone One Payment shall only be paid once, if at all, subject to the achievement of Milestone One in accordance with this Agreement and (B) the Milestone One Payment shall not become payable unless Milestone One has been achieved prior to the expiration of the Milestone One Period.

(b) If Milestone Two is achieved at any time prior to the expiration of the Milestone Two Period, then, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Milestone Two Payment Date, Parent will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Rights Agent a written notice (the “Milestone Two Achievement Notice”) certifying the date of the satisfaction of Milestone Two and that each Holder is entitled to receive the applicable Milestone Payment Amount applicable

9

to such Holder as a one-time cash payment. Following the delivery of the Milestone Two Achievement Notice, Parent will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Rights Agent: (i) instructions to solicit Tax forms or other information required to properly make Tax deductions or withholdings in accordance with Section 2.4(e), (ii) any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent and requested by the Rights Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Milestone Two Payment Date, and (iii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Milestone Two Payment Date, cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Rights Agent, in an amount equal to the aggregate applicable Milestone Payment Amounts due to all Holders pursuant to Section 4.2 other than Equity Award Holders (with respect to which any such amounts payable to Equity Award Holders shall be retained by Parent for payment pursuant to Section 2.4(d)). For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the Milestone Two Payment shall only be paid once, if at all, subject to the achievement of Milestone Two in accordance with this Agreement and (B) the Milestone Two Payment shall not become payable unless Milestone Two has been achieved prior to the expiration of the Milestone Two Period.

(c) The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the applicable Milestone Achievement Notice and any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of the applicable Milestone Achievement Notice and pay the applicable Milestone Payment Amount, subject to any amounts deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.4(e), to each Holder that is not an Equity Award Holder (i) by check mailed to the address of such Holder as reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the date of the applicable Milestone Achievement Notice or (ii) with respect to any such Holder that is due an aggregate amount in excess of $100,000 and has provided the Rights Agent with wiring instructions, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in such instruction; provided, that any such wire instructions shall include an acknowledgment by the Holder that a wire fee of $50 will be subtracted from the amount paid to such Holder.

(d)

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4(d)(ii), with respect to a Milestone Payment Amount that is payable to an Equity Award Holder related to CVRs issued in respect of Company Equity Awards, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof to, pay, on the Surviving Corporation’s or an Affiliate’s next regularly scheduled payroll date following the applicable Milestone Payment Date (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Milestone Payment Date), the aggregate applicable Milestone Payment Amount (less applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 2.4(e)) due to each Equity Award Holder (whether or not employed by Parent or any of its Affiliates as of such Milestone Payment Date).

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Milestone Payment Amount is payable to an Equity Award Holder with respect to a corresponding Converted Stock Option, Converted RSU or Converted PSU which remains unvested on an applicable Milestone Payment Date, the applicable Milestone Payment shall not be paid on such Milestone Payment Date, but instead the aggregate applicable Milestone Payment Amount (less applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 2.4(e)) shall be payable on the Surviving Corporation’s or an Affiliate’s next regularly scheduled

10

payroll date following the date on which such Converted Stock Option, Converted RSU or Converted PSU vests in accordance with its terms as provided for in the Merger Agreement (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the applicable vesting date and regardless of whether such Equity Award Holder is employed by Parent or any of its Affiliates as of such time). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Milestone Payment with respect to a Converted Stock Option, Converted RSU or Converted PSU be made to an Equity Award Holder unless and until the corresponding Converted Stock Option, Converted RSU or Converted PSU has vested in accordance with its terms as provided for in the Merger Agreement.

(iii) If any such payment in accordance with this Section 2.4(d) cannot be made through the applicable payroll system or payroll provider or by the Paying Agent, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for such payment to such Equity Award Holder (less applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 2.4(e)), which check will be sent by overnight courier to the most recent address on the Surviving Corporation’s personnel records for such Equity Award Holder as soon as reasonably practicable following the applicable payment date determined in accordance with Section 2.4(d)(i) and Section 2.4(d)(ii).

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event an Equity Award Holder also received CVRs in respect of Common Shares held immediately prior to the Acceptance Time or Effective Time (as applicable), such CVRs in respect of Common Shares are not subject to the provisions of this Agreement relating to CVRs issued in respect of the Company Equity Awards.

(e) Each of the Rights Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold by any applicable Tax Laws; provided, that with respect to Equity Award Holders, any such withholding may be made, or caused to be made, by Parent through the Surviving Corporation’s or its Affiliates’ payroll system or any successor payroll system. Prior to making any such Tax deductions or withholdings or causing any such Tax deductions or withholdings to be made with respect to any Holder (other than an Equity Award Holder, in its capacity as such), the applicable withholding agent shall, to the extent practicable, timely provide notice to the Holder of such potential withholding and, if applicable, a reasonable opportunity for the Holder to provide any necessary tax forms (Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9s or IRS Form W-8s) or other information in order to avoid or reduce such withholding amounts if such forms or information were not solicited pursuant to Section 2.4(a); provided, however, that the time period for payment of a Milestone Payment by the Rights Agent set forth in this Section 2.4 shall be extended by a period equal to any delay caused by the Holder providing such forms. Any amounts deducted or withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Parent shall deliver (or shall cause the Rights Agent, Surviving Corporation or its applicable Affiliate to deliver) to the Person with respect to whom such withholding is made an IRS Form 1099 or other reasonably acceptable evidence of such deduction or withholding.

11

(f) Any portion of the aggregate applicable Milestone Payment Amount that remains undistributed to the Holders on the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable Milestone Achievement Notice shall be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent and any Holder shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such Holder’s Milestone Payment Amount, without interest, but such Holder shall have no greater rights against Parent than those accorded to general unsecured creditors of Parent under applicable Laws.

(g) None of Parent, the Rights Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of the Milestone Payment Amounts delivered to a public official in compliance with any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If, despite Parent’s and/or the Rights Agent’s commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a Milestone Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, such Milestone Payment Amount has not been paid prior to the date on which such Milestone Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such Milestone Payment Amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, immediately prior to such time become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense the Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Parent.

(h) Except to the extent any portion of a Milestone Payment Amount is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to applicable Laws, the Parties hereto intend to treat Milestone Payment Amounts made with respect to CVRs issued in exchange for Common Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as additional consideration. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall report imputed interest on the CVRs as required by applicable Laws.

(i) The Parties intend, to the extent consistent with applicable Laws, to treat the payments from the CVRs received with respect to the Company Equity Awards for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as compensation payments (and not to treat the issuance of the CVR to the Equity Award Holder as a payment itself). For the avoidance of doubt, each Milestone Payment Amount payable to an Equity Award Holder is intended to constitute transaction-based compensation for purposes of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A–3(i)(5)(iv) or shall otherwise be paid in compliance with or under an alternative exemption from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties intend that each CVR issued on an Equity Award Holder is exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith.

Section 4.3 Assignment Transactions; Change in Control.

(a) During the Milestone Period, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, not to, consummate any Assignment Transaction involving development, regulatory or commercialization rights to the Product in the U.S. or the obligations set forth in Section 4.4 of this Agreement are transferred other than to a controlled Affiliate of Parent, unless (i) the acquiring Person (each such Person, an “Assignment Transaction Acquiror”) is a Significant Pharmaceutical Company, and (ii) Parent has delivered to the Rights Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that such condition precedent has been complied with in connection with such Assignment Transaction.

Any Action or proceeding at law or in equity brought by the Acting Holders shall be subject to Section 6.4, the terms of which shall apply to the Acting Holders or such Holder, as applicable, and such Action or proceeding at law or in equity mutatis mutandis.

Section 6.8 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach of this Agreement, irreparable harm would occur that monetary damages could not make whole. It is accordingly agreed that (i) Parent or Assignee (as such term is defined below), on the one hand, or the Rights Agent or the Acting Holders, on the other hand, will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, to specific performance, or other non-monetary equitable relief, to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement in any action without the posting of a bond or undertaking and (ii) such Parties will, and hereby do, waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and any other objections to specific performance of this Agreement.

Section 6.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The Parties hereto will replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision; provided, however, that if an excluded or modified provision materially and adversely affects the rights, immunities, liabilities, duties or obligations of the Rights Agent, the Rights Agent shall be entitled to resign immediately upon written notice to Parent.

Section 6.10 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any of the Parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise); provided, however, that (a) Parent may assign this agreement to a Person (each such Person, an “Assignee”) (i) which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent (provided, that Parent remains jointly and severally liable), (ii) with the prior consent of the Acting Holders, whether evidenced in writing or by a vote taken at a meeting of the Holders, or (iii) in connection with a transaction involving an Assignment Transaction conducted in compliance with Section 4.3 and (b) the Rights Agent may assign this Agreement to a successor Rights Agent appointed in accordance with Section 3.4 and Section 3.5.

Section 6.11 Benefits of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder may at any time agree to renounce, in whole or in part, whether or not for consideration, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Parent, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable. Parent may, in its sole discretion, at any time, offer consideration to any Holder, a group of Holders, or all Holders in exchange for their agreement to irrevocably renounce their rights hereunder.

Section 6.12 Legal Holidays. In the event that a Milestone Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made, without the accrual of any additional interest thereon on account of such Milestone Payment Date not being a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Milestone Payment Date.

Section 6.13 Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.

(b) The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.
