Exhibit 10.10

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of January 23rd ,2012 (the “Effective Date”) between Mevion Medical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Michael Cogswell (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company beginning on or before February 6, 2012, unless another date is mutually agreed to by Executive and the Company (the actual first day of employment shall be the “Commencement Date”) on the terms contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Position and Duties; No Conflicts.

(a) The Executive shall serve as the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales for the Company. The Executive shall report to, take direction from and assume such duties and responsibilities as are assigned to him by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) or such other person designated by the CEO from time to time, provided Executive’s primary duty shall be to secure sales of the Company’s products. The Executive shall devote his full working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company provided Executive is permitted to engage in religious, charitable or other community activities provided such activities do not interfere with Executive’s duties to the Company. Further, any outside business activities, including directorships, must be disclosed to the Board and may not interfere with the Executive’s performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company as provided in this Agreement.

(b) The Executive hereby represents that he is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. Executive further represents that his performance of all the terms of this Agreement (including Exhibit 1) as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to his employment with the Company. Executive will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or others.

(c) Executive shall maintain a home office or executive suite office (the “Place of Employment”) within a 50-milc radius of an international airport within the 48 contiguous states of the United States of America.

2. Compensation and Related Matters.

(a) Recoverable Draw. The Executive’s annual recoverable draw rate shall be $300,000 per year (or $25,000 per month) (the “Draw”). The Executive’s draw rate shall be subject to review annually by the CEO, Board, or the Compensation Committee. The annual


recoverable draw in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Draw.” The Draw shall be payable in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s usual payroll practices and is subject to repayment in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Commissions. The Executive shall be eligible to earn commissions pursuant to the Agreement, as made be amended from time to time. This Section 2(b) shall apply from the Commencement Date through the end of FY2012 and shall be amended for each fiscal year after FY2012 at the discretion of the Company. From the Commencement Date until December 31, 2012, Executive’s Commissions shall be based on the Commission Schedule of Table 1. Commissions shall be accrued based on (i) the Commission amount corresponding to the Sales Price of an order booked by the Company for a MEVION S250 Proton Therapy System (“US Commission” for facilities in the United States or “x-US Commission” for facilities not in the United States), and (ii) the Commission amount corresponding to the dollar amount of the associated down-payment received at the time of the order (“Down Payment Commission”). For avoidance of doubt, the Commission amount based on the Sales Price is different for orders booked for US customers and x-US customers. If the Sales Price or the Down Payment amount falls between values on the schedule the corresponding commission value shall be calculated by pro-rating the commission amounts of the Sales Prices immediately above and below the booked Sales Price or the commission amounts of the Down Payments immediately above and below the booked down payment respectively. Once an order is “booked” (as determined by the Company in good faith) or a Down Payment is received, a Commission is accrued, although it is not yet due or payable. Collectively, all accrued Commissions shall be the “Outstanding Commissions.”

5. Acceleration in Connection with a Change in Control. In connection with a Change in Control all of the Executive’s unvested stock options as granted in Section 2 (d) (i) shall immediately accelerate and become fully exercisable or nonforfeited.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the (x) consolidation or merger of the Company into or with any other entity or entities (except a consolidation or merger into a subsidiary or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and the holders of the Company voting stock outstanding immediately prior to the transaction constitute the holders of a majority of the voting stock of the subsidiary or surviving corporation outstanding immediately following the transaction), (y) the sale, transfer, lease or other

 

6


disposition by the Company of all or substantially all its assets, or (z) the sale, exchange or transfer by the Company’s stockholders, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of capital stock representing a majority of the voting power.

6. Section 409A.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

(b) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

(c) The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(h).

(d) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person or entity if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

7. Confidential Information, Noncompetition and Cooperation.

(a) Restrictive Covenant. The Executive agrees to comply with the Executive Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality and Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

(b) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment, provided the Company pays the Executive’s reasonable and documented expenses, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the

 

7


Company that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local agency, administrative body or other regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company.

(c) Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company that might result from any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 7, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.

8. Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby agree that the state and federal courts in Massachusetts shall have the exclusive jurisdiction to consider any matters related to this Agreement, including without limitation any claim for violation of this Agreement. With respect to any such court action, the Executive (i) submits to the jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) consents to service of process, and (iii) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or venue.

9. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter.

10. Withholding. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.

11. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision that is incorporated herein by reference) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein.

13. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of

 

8


any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

14. Notices. All notices, demands, solicitations of consent or approval, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if personally delivered, transmitted by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or sent postage prepaid by overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed as follows: if intended for the Company’s principal office or if intended for the Executive, at the last address the Company has on file for the Executive.

The provisions of this Section 14 shall not prohibit the giving of written notice in any other manner; provided, however, that any such written notice shall be deemed given only when actually received.

15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company, provided that Section 2(b) shall be amended unilaterally by the Company for each fiscal year during which the Executive is employed by the Company.

16. Governing Law. This is a Massachusetts contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such Commonwealth. With respect to any disputes concerning federal law, such disputes shall be determined in accordance with the law as it would be interpreted and applied by the United States Court of Appeals.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

18. Successor to Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place.

This amended Section 2(b) shall apply from June 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014 (“Period”) and shall be amended for each fiscal year after September 30, 2014 at the discretion of the Company. During Period, Executive’s Commissions shall be based on the “Commission Schedule” set forth in Table 1, except as provided in Section 2(c) below. Commissions shall be accrued based on (i) the Commission amount corresponding to the sales price (“Sales Price”) of an order booked by the Company for a MEVION S250 Proton Therapy System for sales made in territories without a Mevion Distributor, Reseller or Agent (“Direct Sales Commission”) and “Distributor/Reseller/Agent Based Commission” for sales made in territories with a Mevion

Distributor, Reseller or Agent, and (ii) the Commission amount corresponding to the dollar amount of the associated non-refundable down payment (“Down Payment”) received at the time of the order (“Down Payment Commission”). For avoidance of doubt, the Commission amount based on the Sales Price is different for orders booked for territories with a Distributor, Reseller or Agent versus a territory without a Distributor or Agent. If the Sales Price or the Down Payment amount falls between values on the Commission Schedule the corresponding commission value shall be calculated by pro-rating the commission amounts for the Sales Prices immediately above and below the booked Sales Price or the commission amounts for the Down Payments immediately above and below the booked Down Payment respectively. Once an order is “booked” (as determined by the Company in good faith with the minimum criteria of a non-refundable Down Payment of at least $1MM and with a fully executed end-user contract with Mevion, Distributor, or Reseller), a Commission is accrued, although it is not yet due or payable. Collectively, accrued Commissions for a given time period shall be the “Outstanding Commissions.””

2. Section 2(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following text:

Payment of Commissions. “Commissionable Event” means the occurrence of an event when a commission is accrued per Section 2(b) of the Agreement. “YTD Commissions” means the sum of all commissions accrued year-to-date. “YTD Compensation” means the sum of all Commissions, Recoverable Draw, and bonuses paid year to date.

At the pay period immediately after the occurrence of a “Commissionable Event,” a commission shall be paid for the pay period, if and only if the YTD Commissions are greater than the YTD Compensation. The amount of commission due shall be the YTD Commissions minus the YTD Compensation. At each pay period, if the YTD Compensation exceeds the annual Recoverable Draw, the portion of the Recoverable Draw due for that pay period and all subsequent pay periods in the year shall no longer be paid, and thereafter the Executive shall be responsible to pay to the Company the employee portion of his elected benefits for continued coverage.
