The Parties hereby agree that the Employment Agreement shall terminate with

Employee find a new position and provided that the company he would join is not

Section 4 below, the Employee shall have the right to anticipate the termination
of the Employment Agreement to an earlier date (the “Earlier Termination Date”)
by giving notice to the Company by registered letter seven (7) days in advance.
In consideration that the Final Payment is exceeding contractual minimum
requirements, the Employee hereby agrees that the term of his employment
contract shall not be postponed to a later date than the Termination Date or the
Earlier Termination Date in case of any incapacity (such as illness or accident)
occurring before the Termination Date or the Earlier Termination Date.

 

(b)

The Employee will resign from his position of executive officer, Senior Vice
President and CFO of the Company and GTX with effect from September 30, 2019.

 

(c)

The Employee shall be irrevocably released from the obligation to work from
September 30, 2019. The Employee undertakes to provide the Company with all
information and assistance necessary to allow a smooth transition of his duties.
If required by the Company, the Employee will provide such information and
assistance after the Termination Date or the Earlier Termination Date, if
applicable for a period of six months.

 

(d)

The Employee further undertakes to sign any document provided in compliance with
this Agreement and necessary to reflect the termination of the employment
relationship.

 

(e)

From the date of signature of this Agreement until the earliest to occur between
the Termination Date or the Earlier Termination Date, all the remaining vacation

In consideration for his acceptance of the undertakings and obligations under
this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Employee a severance payment in the

Employee a prorated Annual Incentive Compensation pursuant to Art. 5 of the
Employment Agreement in the amount of CHF 328’845.00 gross. The Employee

after the earliest to occur between the Termination Date or the Earlier
Termination Date on the Employee’s usual salary account.

Company undertakes to collaborate in relation to the termination of the
complementary pension plan with AXA Life Ltd.

 

(e)

The Company shall pay the reasonable costs of the Employee’s relocation to his
home country, i.e. Italy. Shipment expenses (for furniture and personal
belongings) for the Employee shall be directly paid by the Company to the

quotes to be approved by the Company, before any expense will be paid. The
Company will only pay such costs provided that the Employee relocates to Italy
in the period of twelve months from the date of signature of this Agreement.

 

(f)

The Company shall also bear the costs of the preparation of the Employee 2019
