“Cause” shall mean (i) willful misconduct or gross negligence as to a material matter in connection with your duties; (ii) any act constituting material dishonesty or fraud with respect to the Company; (iii) the indictment for, conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony under applicable law; (iv) violation of any written Company policy made available to you; (v) failure to (A) perform your duties in all material respects or (B) follow a clear, lawful and reasonable directive of the Board; or (vi) material breach of a fiduciary duty owed to the Company that has caused or could reasonably be expected to cause a material injury to the business; provided, that in no event shall your employment be terminated for Cause unless (A) an event or circumstance set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) has occurred and the Company provides you with written notice after the Company has knowledge of the occurrence of existence of such event or circumstance, which notice reasonably identifies the event or circumstance that the Company believes constitutes Cause and (B) with respect to the events and circumstances set forth in clauses (iv) and (v) only, you fail to substantially cure to the satisfaction of the Company the event or circumstance so identified within 30 days of the receipt of such notice.

“Disability” shall mean your inability to have performed your material duties hereunder due to a physical or mental injury, infirmity or incapacity for one hundred eighty (180) days (including weekends and holidays) in any 365-day period.

You shall provide the Company with a written notice detailing the specific circumstances alleged to constitute Good Reason within 90 days after the first occurrence of such circumstances, and the Company shall have 30 days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstances in all material respects, provided, that, no termination for Good Reason shall occur after the 180th day following the first occurrence of any Good Reason event.  For the avoidance of doubt, you not serving as either Treasurer or Corporate Secretary, shall not constitute Good Reason.

 

a.                                            If the Company terminates your employment for any reason other than Cause (except for death or Disability), you will receive the Accrued Benefits (as defined below), and, subject to your compliance with Section 7(e) below, you will be eligible to receive the following: (i) after the execution and delivery of the release of claims referenced below and the expiration of any revocation period without the release being revoked (the “Release Effective Date”), twelve month’s base salary then in effect, less standard deductions, payable in accordance with the Company’s then regular pay policies commencing on the 60th day following the termination of your employment, provided, that the first payment shall include any amounts for the period from the date of termination to the 60th day; and (ii) if you elect to continue your health insurance coverage pursuant to your rights under the Consolidated

b.                                            If the Company terminates your employment for any reason other than Cause (except for death or Disability) or you resign for Good Reason, and if such termination is in connection with or within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, you will receive the Accrued Benefits, and, subject to your compliance with Section 7(e) below, you will be eligible to receive the following: (i) after the Release Effective Date, an amount equal to twelve month’s base salary then in effect, less standard deductions, and 100% of your target bonus for the year your employment terminates payable in a single lump sum on the 60th day following the termination of your employment; (ii) if you elect to continue your health insurance coverage pursuant to your rights under COBRA following the termination of your employment, then the Company shall pay to you your monthly premium under COBRA on a monthly basis until the earlier of (x) 12 months following the effective termination date, or (y) the date upon which you commence full-time employment (or employment that provides you with eligibility for healthcare benefits substantially comparable to those provided by the Company) with an entity other than the Company; and (iii) full vesting of all outstanding equity awards.

e.                                             Eligibility for receipt of the items in Sections 7(a) (b) shall be conditioned on your (i) returning to the Company promptly upon the termination of your employment all of its property, including confidential information and all electronically stored information, and (i) signing and not revoking a release of any and all claims, in a form acceptable to the Company (which release shall be provided to you by the Company within 7 days of your employment termination date), provided, that such release shall contain the following provisions in substantially the following form:

 

(i)                                     For a period of one year following such termination of employment, you agree that you shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, solicit, aid or induce any employee of the Company to leave such employment or to accept employment with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company or hire any such employee or take any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such employee. This paragraph shall not be violated by (1) general advertising or solicitation not specifically targeted at Company-related persons or entities or (2) you serving as a reference, upon request, for any employee of the Company, other than such a reference to a company with whom you are then affiliated; and

 

(ii)                                  You agree that for the 3-year period following such termination of employment, you shall not, directly or indirectly, orally, in writing or through any medium (including, but

 

4











 

not limited to, the press or other media, computer networks or bulletin boards, or any other form of communication) will disparage or defame the goodwill or reputation of the Company or its directors, officers, stockholders, agents and/or employees. Nothing herein shall prohibit you (1) from disclosing that you are no longer employed by the Company, (2) from responding truthfully to any governmental investigation or inquiry by a governmental entity or any other law, subpoena, court order or other compulsory legal process or (3) from rebutting in good faith statements made by the Company that are untrue or misleading.

 

8.                                      Employee Confidentiality Agreement. As an employee of the Company, you have and will have access to certain Company and third party confidential information and you may during the course of your employment develop certain information or inventions, which will be the property of the Company. To protect the interest of the Company, you have previously signed a “Non-Disclosure and Inventions Assignment Agreement” as a condition of your employment, which shall remain in effect by its terms.

 

9.                                      Delayed Commencement Date for Payments and Benefits.

 

a.                                      The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this letter agreement comply with, or be exempt from, Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this letter agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith or exempt therefrom. If you notify the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that you believe that any provision of this letter agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause you to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consulting with you, reform such provision to try to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to you and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

 

b.                                      A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this letter agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment that are considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this letter agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this letter agreement, no payments or benefits that are considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A to which you otherwise become entitled under this letter agreement in connection with your termination of employment, shall be made or provided to you prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six 6 month period measured from the date of your “separation from service” with the Company (as such term is defined in Code Section 409A) or (ii) the date of your death, if you are deemed at the time of such separation from service to be a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A and if, in the absence of such delay, the payments would

 

5











 

be subject to additional tax under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2) deferral period, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 8(b) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid or reimbursed to you in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this letter agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

 

c.                                       All expenses or other reimbursements under this letter agreement shall be made promptly following submission of required documentation, and in any case on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by you (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable income to you, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were incurred), and (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and (ii) no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year, provided, that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Internal Revenue Code Section 105(b) solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.

 

d.                                      For purposes of Code Section 409A, your right to receive any installment payment pursuant to this letter agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this letter agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within 30 days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this letter agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset, counterclaim or recoupment by any other amount payable to you unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

 

10.                               Resolution of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to your employment, this letter agreement, its enforcement or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of its provisions, shall be submitted to arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator (applying Massachusetts law), in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) as modified by the terms and conditions of this Section 10; provided, however, that provisional injunctive relief may, but need not, be sought in a court of law while arbitration proceedings are pending, and any provisional injunctive relief granted by such court shall remain effective until the underlying matter is finally determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by AAA. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion revealing, however briefly, the essential findings and conclusions upon which the award is based. Final resolution of any dispute through arbitration may include any remedy or relief which the arbitrator deems just and equitable. Any award or relief granted by the arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

6











 

The parties acknowledge that they are hereby waiving any rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against the other in connection with any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this letter agreement or your employment.

 

The parties shall share in equal proportion the arbitrator’s fees and arbitration expenses and any other costs associated with the arbitration or arbitration hearing that are unique to arbitration. The Company and you each shall separately pay its or your own deposition, witness, expert and attorneys’ fees and other expenses as and to the same extent as if the matter were being held in court unless otherwise provided by law. The arbitrator shall have the sole and exclusive power and authority to decide any and all issues of or related to whether this letter agreement or any provision of this letter agreement is subject to arbitration.

 

11.                               No Inconsistent Obligations. By accepting this offer of employment, you represent and warrant to the Company that you are under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with your obligations set forth in this letter agreement or that would be violated by your employment by the Company. You agree that you will not take any action on behalf of the Company or cause the Company to take any action that will violate any agreement that you have with a prior employer.

 

12.                               Pre-employment Matters.

 

a.                                      This offer is contingent upon successful completion to the satisfaction of the Company of pre-employment drug screening and background checks.

 

b.                                      As a condition of employment, you must present verification that you are eligible to be employed in the United States as required by law.

 

13.                               Miscellaneous.

 

a.                                      This letter agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

b.                                      Neither this letter agreement nor any of your rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable by you.  The Company may assign this letter agreement or any of its obligations hereunder to any subsidiary of the Company, or to any successor (whether by merger, purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the equity, assets or businesses of the Company.  This letter agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable to you and the Company and its permitted successors and assigns.

 

c.                                       No provision of this letter agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and such officer or director as may be designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this letter agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

d.                                      The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.

Appendix B

 

TESARO’s Relocation Policy

 

When it is necessary for the Company to relocate an Associate we will provide certain relocation assistance. The policy set forth below outlines our relocation guidelines. The policy applies to authorized U.S. based moves and includes transferring existing employees and new hires. Reimbursement for certain relocation expenses is provided if all of the following conditions are met:

 

·                  Associate must be relocated at the Company’s request

·                  The distance from the Associate’s former home to the Associate’s new work location must be at least fifty (50) miles more than the distance from the Associate’s former home to the Associates’ former work location

·                  Associate must submit all expense within one (1) year of the effective date of the Associate’s new job

·                  Associate must move to within a reasonable distance (as defined by the IRS and the Company) of the associate’s new work location

 

Material exceptions to the policy must be approved by TESARO’s Chief Executive Officer and President.

 

Reimbursement of expense, defined as “qualified” and “non-qualified” in accordance with current IRS regulations, may be made. Reimbursements of non-qualified expenses are subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes. Reimbursements are reported on the annual Form W-2. Guidelines in the policy are current as of the date of this policy, and outline IRS rules for taxing reimbursement.

 

The Principal Accounting Officer or designee is responsible for monitoring IRS rules for the taxing relocation reimbursement and accurately reimbursing both qualified and non-qualified expenses.
