Skillman, NJ 08558

 

Dear Mark:

 

On behalf of Radius Health, Inc. (the “Company”), with offices at 201 Broadway, Cambridge, MA, 02139, I am pleased to offer you full-time employment with the Company effective as of April 1, 2014.  You will serve as the Chief Commercial Officer of the Company effective upon the commencement of your employment with the Company.  This position will report to the Chief Executive Officer.

 

In the course of your employment with Company, you will be subject to and required to comply with all Company policies, and applicable laws and regulations.  The term “Agreement” as used below shall mean this letter agreement.

 

Cash Compensation

 

In this position, you will earn a salary at the semi-monthly rate of $13,541.66, annualized at a rate of $325,000, or such greater amount as subsequently determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (your “Annual Base Salary”).  You will also receive a one-time sign-on bonus of $50,000 (the “Sign-on Bonus”), payable in a lump sum on the Company’s first ordinary payroll date following the date you commence employment.  In the event you terminate your employment with the Company other than for Good Reason prior to the date that is 6 months following the date you commence employment with the Company, you agree to repay the Company a prorated portion of the Sign-on Bonus based on the number of days remaining in such 6 month period as of the date of your termination.  All compensation amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable tax and other withholdings.

 

In addition, subject to approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), you will be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus (your “Annual Bonus”), which Annual Bonus shall be targeted at 30% (your “Target”) of your Annual Base Salary, subject to pro-ration during any year in which you are employed for less than the full year.  The Board also has the discretion to award a bonus in excess of your Target Annual Bonus for exemplary performance.  Any Annual Bonus will be based on both individual and corporate performance and the amount of any such Annual Bonus will be determined by the Company.  Annual Bonuses shall be paid to you when generally paid to other senior executives of the Company.

 

You will also be entitled to reimbursement of all business expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of your functions and duties under this Agreement, subject to the Company’s expense reimbursement policy in effect from time to time.

 



 

Equity Incentive

 

Subject to approval by the Board and within a reasonable time after the commencement of your employment, the Company will grant to you an initial stock option (the “Initial Option”) under the Radius Health, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the purchase of 400,000 shares (subject to adjustment for a 1-for-2.28 reverse stock split that was approved by the Board in February 2014) of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) at a price per share equal to the public offering price for such Common Stock in the Company’s currently contemplated public offering of Common Stock, or as otherwise determined by the Board at the time of such approval.  The Initial Option shall be subject to all terms and other provisions set forth in the Plan and in a separate option agreement which option agreement will include a provision that provides for accelerated vesting immediately prior to the date of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan, except that clause (d) of such definition shall not constitute a Change of Control) of 50% of the then unvested portion of the Initial Option, subject to your continued employment with the Company through such date. The vesting schedule will be 25% after 1 year, and then quarterly over the following three years.

 

In addition, you will be eligible to receive annual equity awards in the discretion of the Company and the terms of any such awards will be substantially similar to the terms provided to similarly situated employees of the Company.

 

Benefits

 

You will be eligible to participate in all of the employee benefits and benefit plans that the Company generally makes available to its similarly situated employees generally, including group health plans, life, disability and AD&D insurances, a 401(k) plan, tuition reimbursement, parking or public transportation and various types of paid time off, subject to the terms and conditions of such benefits and plans.  You will be eligible to accrue up to 20 days of vacation (in addition to Company holidays), which will accrue over the first year of your employment and may be used with the advance approval of the Chief Executive Officer.  The Company reserves the right to terminate, modify or add to its benefits and benefit plans at any time.

b.                                      Termination Upon Death or Disability.  Your employment shall terminate automatically upon your death.  If the Company determines in good faith that your Disability, as defined below, has occurred during the term of this Agreement, it may give you written notice of its intention to terminate your employment.  In such event, your employment shall terminate effective on the 30th day after you receive such notice, provided that, within the 30 days after receipt of such notice, you shall not have returned to full-time performance of your duties.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean your inability to perform the essential duties of your job on a full-time basis for 180 calendar days during any consecutive twelve-month period or for 90 consecutive days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness.  Upon termination as the result of Disability, the Company shall have no further obligations to you other than to pay your Base Salary through the date of termination, any Annual Bonus earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any previously completed year of employment including, but not limited to, the prior performance year Annual Bonus as provided in clause d(i) below, accrued, unused

(i)  To the extent not yet paid, the Annual Bonus that the Board determines in good faith to award you for performance in the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which your termination occurs if the Company has not yet determined the amount of your Annual Bonus as of the date of your termination, or the amount of the Annual Bonus as already determined by the Board for the performance year, which amount, if any, shall be paid on the First Payment Date (as defined below);

 

(ii) A pro-rata Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which your employment terminates through the date of your termination if the Board determines, in good faith, to award you an Annual Bonus for such calendar year, which amount, if any, shall be paid on the later of (A) the First Payment Date, or (B) the date of the next regular payroll payment date after the Board determines to pay you such pro-rata Annual Bonus;

 

(iii) An aggregate amount equal to 9/12 of your Annual Base Salary, which amount shall be paid over the nine-month period following the date of your termination in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures;

(v) In the event such termination occurs within twelve (12) months immediately following a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan, except that clause (d) of such definition shall not constitute a Change of Control), (y) vesting acceleration of all outstanding equity awards of the

Company held by you, and (z) in lieu of any potential payment under clause (ii) above, a pro-rata Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which your employment terminates through the date of your termination, at Target, which amount shall be paid on the later of (A) the First Payment Date, or (B) the date that the Company pays annual bonuses to its other, similarly situated employees, in respect of performance during such calendar year, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which your employment terminates.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) your commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft against the Company; (ii) your conviction of, or a plea of no contest to, a felony; (iii) willful nonperformance by you (other than by reason of illness) of your material duties as an employee of the Company, which is not cured by you, to the extent it can be cured, within 30 days after written notice thereof to you by the Company; (iv) your material breach of this Agreement or any other material agreement between you and the Company, provided that the Company has sent you a written notice containing a detailed explanation of the conduct or omissions that gave rise to the breach and you fail to substantially cure such breach within 30 days following the date of such notice; or (v) your gross negligence, willful misconduct or any other act of willful disregard for the Company’s best interests, which is not cured by you, to the extent it can be cured, within 30 days after written notice thereof to you by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not have the right to cure a breach that occurs within twelve months following a similar breach that you attempted to cure.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without your written consent: (i) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to Base Salary, Annual Bonus or equity compensation under this Agreement, excluding for such purpose any isolated, insubstantial, and inadvertent action not taken in bad-faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of written notice thereof from you; (ii) a material diminution in your duties, responsibilities or authority; (iii) a requirement that you report to a corporate officer or employee other than the Chief Executive Officer, and (iv) a material breach by the Company of any material written agreement between the Company and you.  In order for a termination of employment by you to be considered to have been made for Good Reason, you must first provide the Company with notice of your intent to resign for Good Reason within ninety days following the date of the applicable Good Reason event, which notice shall provide a detailed explanation of what events triggered Good Reason, and the Company must fail to substantially cure such Good Reason events within 30 days following the date of such notice and you must resign your employment for Good Reason within 30 days following the end of such cure period, if the Company has failed to cure.

 

e.                                       Release of Claims.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the payment by the Company of the termination payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement as the result of a termination of your employment (other than the Accrued Obligations), and as a condition to such payments, you must sign and not revoke a general release of all potential claims you may have against the Company or any of its affiliates in the form annexed to this letter (the “Release”), which Release must be signed on or following your date of termination and become effective within thirty (30) days following the date of your termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “First Payment Date” shall mean the first normal payroll payment date falling on or after the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of termination of your employment with the Company and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any severance payments that would have been paid before the First Payment Date, shall be paid on the First Payment Date and the vesting acceleration shall not occur until the date the Release becomes effective.

FORM OF RELEASE

AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

 

Radius Health, Inc. (the “Company”) and Mark W. Durand (“Executive”) agree:

 

1.                                      Last Day of Employment.  Executive’s last day of employment with Employer was [INSERT DATE] (the “Termination Date”).  In addition, effective as of the Termination Date, Executive ceased to serve as the Chief Commercial Officer of the Company and its affiliates and ceased to be eligible for any benefits or compensation from the Company and its affiliates other than as specifically provided in Executive’s offer letter from the Company dated March [·], 2014 (the “Offer Letter”).  Executive further acknowledges and agrees that from and after the date Executive executes this Agreement and General Release, Executive will not represent (and since the Termination Date the Executive has not represented) Executive as being a director, employee, officer, trustee, agent or representative of the Company or its affiliates for any purpose.  In addition, effective as of Termination Date, Executive resigns from all offices, directorships, trusteeships, committee memberships and fiduciary capacities held with, or on behalf of, the Company and its affiliates or any benefit plans of the Company and its affiliates.  These resignations will become irrevocable as set forth in Section 3 below.

 

2.                                      Consideration.  The parties acknowledge that this Agreement and General Release is being executed in accordance with the Offer Letter.

 

3.                                      Revocation.  Executive may revoke this Agreement and General Release for a period of seven (7) calendar days following the day Executive executes this Agreement and General Release.  Any revocation within this period must be submitted in writing to the Company and state, “I hereby revoke my acceptance of our Agreement and General Release.” The revocation must be personally delivered to the Chief Executive Officer, Radius Health, Inc., 201 Broadway, 6th Floor, Cambridge, MA  02139, or his designee.  This Agreement and General Release shall become effective and irrevocable on the eighth (8th) day after Executive executes it, unless earlier revoked by Executive in accordance with this Section 3 (the “Effective Date”).

 

4.                                      General Release of Claims.  (A) Executive and the Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns knowingly and voluntarily release and forever discharge the Company and its affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, benefit plans, successors and assigns in such capacity, and the current, future and former employees, officers, directors, trustees and agents thereof (collectively referred to as “Employer”) from any and all actions, causes of action, contributions, indemnities, duties, debts, sums of money, suits, controversies, restitutions, understandings, agreements, promises, claims regarding stock, stock options or other forms of equity compensation, commitments, damages, fees and liabilities, responsibilities and any and all claims, demands, executions and liabilities of whatsoever kind, nature or description, oral or written, known or unknown, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected at the present time, in law or in equity, whether known and unknown, against Employer, which the Executive has, has ever had or may have as of the date of Executive’s execution of this Agreement and General Release, including, but not limited to, any alleged violation of:

 

·                              Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;

·                              The Civil Rights Act of 1991;

·                              Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as amended;

·                              The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended;

·                              The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993;

·                              Any wage payment and collection, equal pay and other similar laws, acts and statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or State of New Jersey;

·                              Any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law or any other local, state or federal law, regulation or ordinance;

·                              Any public policy, contract, tort, or common law; or

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the sole matters to which the Agreement and General Release do not apply are: (i) Executive’s express rights or claims for accrued vested benefits under any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement maintained by Employer or under COBRA; (ii) Executive’s rights under the provisions of the Offer Letter which are intended to survive termination of employment; (iii) Executive’s rights as a stockholder; or (iv) any rights of Executive to indemnification as a Director or Officer of the Company.

 

5.                                      No Claims Permitted.  Executive waives Executive’s right to file any charge or complaint against Employer arising out of Executive’s employment with or separation from Employer before any federal, state or local court or any state or local administrative agency, except where such waivers are prohibited by law (with the understanding that that this Agreement and General Release bars the Executive from recovering monetary relief from Employer in connection with any charges or complaints which are not waived hereunder).

 

6.                                      Affirmations.  Executive affirms Executive has not filed, has not caused to be filed, and is not presently a party to, any claim, complaint, or action against Employer in any forum.  Executive further affirms that the Executive has been paid and/or has received all compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits to which Executive may be entitled and no other compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions and/or benefits are due to Executive, except as may be specifically provided in the Offer Letter. Executive also affirms Executive has no known workplace injuries.

 

7.                                      Cooperation; Return of Property.  Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with Employer and its counsel in connection with any investigation, administrative proceeding or litigation relating to any matter that occurred during Executive’s employment in which Executive was involved or of which Executive has knowledge.  Employer will reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket travel, delivery or similar expenses incurred in providing such service to Employer.  Executive represents that Executive has returned to Employer all property belonging to Employer, including but not limited to any leased vehicle, laptop, cell phone, keys, access cards, phone cards and credit cards, provided that Executive may retain, and Employer shall cooperate in transferring, Executive’s cell phone number and Executive’s personal rolodex and other address books.

 

8.                                      Governing Law and Interpretation.  This Agreement and General Release shall be governed and conformed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.  In the event Executive or Employer breaches any provision of this Agreement and General Release, Executive and Employer affirm either may institute an action to specifically enforce any term or terms of this Agreement and General Release.  Should any provision of this Agreement and General Release be declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and should the provision be incapable of being modified to be enforceable, such provision shall

immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this Agreement and General Release in full force and effect.  Nothing herein, however, shall operate to void or nullify any general release language contained in the Agreement and General Release.

 

9.                                      No Admission of Wrongdoing.  Executive agrees neither this Agreement and General Release nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement and General Release shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission by Employer of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind.

 

10.                               Non-Disparagement. Executive and Employer (through its officers and directors) agree not to disparage the other party, and the other party’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents, in any manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation; provided that both Executive and Employer may respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process and provided further that nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude Employer or Executive from making truthful statements that are reasonably necessary or to enforce or defend the party’s rights under this Agreement and General Release.

 

11.                               Amendment.  This Agreement and General Release may not be modified, altered or changed except upon express written consent of both parties wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement and General Release.

 

12.                               Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and General Release and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Offer Letter) sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and fully supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the parties; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement and General Release, the provisions in the Offer Letter which are intended to survive termination of the Offer Letter shall survive and continue in full force and effect.  Executive acknowledges Executive has not relied on any representations, promises, or agreements of any kind made to Executive in connection with Executive’s decision to accept this Agreement and General Release.

 

13.                               ADEA. Executive understands and acknowledges that Executive is waiving and releasing any rights Executive may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary.  Executive understands and agrees that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the date Executive signs this Agreement and General Release.  Executive understands and acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which Executive was already entitled.  Executive further understands and acknowledges that Executive has been advised by this writing that nothing in this Agreement and General Release prevents or precludes Executive from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law.
