SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

WHEREAS, it is the desire and intention of WILLIAM D. BAIRD III (hereinafter “Employee”) and Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (“Amicus”) to enter into this Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) to set settle all matters relating to Employee’s employment at Amicus (collectively, Amicus and Employee may be referred to as the “Parties”).
NOW THEREFORE, or good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    Date of Separation.  The Employee’s last date of employment with the Company will be February 8, 2019 (the “Separation Date”).  Regardless of whether the Employee executes this Agreement, as the result of the Employee’s termination of employment on the Separation Date, the Employee shall receive the following payments:
a.    Base Salary, Accrued, Unused Paid Time Off:  The Employee will be paid by Amicus for any earned but unpaid base salary and any vacation time accrued but unused, in each case, as of the Separation Date.  Such amount will be paid in the form of a lump sum payment, less any applicable withholdings and other deductions, on the same pay date on which Employee’s unpaid base salary through the Separation Date would have been paid absent separation from employment.
b.    Expense Reimbursement:  Amicus agrees to reimburse Employee in accordance with its standard expense policies (the Expense Policies) in effect as of the Separation Date for the reasonable and ordinary business expenses incurred  by the Employee in connection with the services that Employee rendered on behalf of Amicus prior to the Separation Date; provided, however, that the documentation required under the Expense Policies for such expenses shall be included with a final expense report filed by the Employee with Amicus within 30 days of the Separation Date,  Subject to proper documentation, such expenses shall be reimbursed to the Employee as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, but no later than 30 days after the Employee submits the Employee’s final expense report to Amicus.

c.    Health Coverage Eligibility:  The Employee’s medical, dental and vision coverage (as applicable) will terminate as of February 28, 2019.  Subject to Section 2 below, Employee will have the right to elect to continue health insurance coverage at the Employee’s own expense under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). Details regarding COBRA shall be sent to Employee under separate cover. Amicus shall ensure that its medical, dental and vision plans permit continued coverage through the date set forth above, and reserves the right to restructure the plans in any manner necessary or appropriate to avoid fines, penalties or negative tax consequences to Amicus or the Employee (including without limitation, to avoid any penalty imposed for violation of the nondiscrimination requirements under IRS Code Section 105(h) or under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or the guidance issued thereunder), as determined by Amicus in its sole discretion.
d.    401(k) Savings Plan:  The Employee’s rights under the Amicus 401(k) Savings Plan, and any rollover or distribution rights (as applicable) will be set forth in the Plan and Amicus policy.
e.    Bonus:  There will be no bonus payout for the 2019 performance period.
2.    Separation Benefits.  In consideration of and subject to the Employee’s execution of this Agreement within 21 days after the Separation Date for the Employee’s review and consideration and the expiration of all revocation periods without Employee revoking this Agreement, and in compliance with the promises made herein, Amicus shall provide the Employee with the separation benefits described below to which the Employee was not otherwise entitled, in addition to the benefits described in Section 1 above.  
a.    Equity Awards: As of the Separation Date, pursuant to options granted under the Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Employee has the following options, restricted stock units and Performance Restricted Stock Units, that unless otherwise noted, are forfeited upon the Separation Date (see table below).  Exceptionally, the vesting of stock options, units and performance shares held by Employee immediately prior to such termination (“Options and Units”) shall accelerate such that the portion of those options and units that was otherwise scheduled to vest during the 12 month period immediately following such termination (had Employee remained employed with the 

Company for that period) will become vested as of the date of such termination.  In addition, the exercise period will be extended by twelve (12) months following the termination date to February 8, 2020 (the “Expiration Date). Any Vested Option, which is not exercised or for which the exercise price is not paid on or prior to the Expiration Date will be forfeited with no further compensation due to Employee, as generally provided under the Plan and any applicable option award.  

 
b.    Limitations:  Without limiting Amicus’ remedies as set forth herein or in the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, upon Employee’s breach of (I) any of the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 4, Paragraph 5 and/or Paragraph 6 of this Agreement or (II) any of the restrictions set forth in the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement, Amicus will have no obligation to continue to pay or provide any of the amounts or benefits under this Paragraph 2, including without limitation the accelerated vesting and extended exercise period set forth above. 
c.    Acknowledgements:  Employee acknowledges that, in the absence of timely execution and non-revocation of this Agreement, Employee would have no right to the accelerated options and stock, or the extended exercise period for the Vested Options as set forth in this Paragraph 2.  Employee further acknowledges that except as provided for in Sections 1 and 2 above that Employee is not entitled to any other further compensation, remuneration or benefits from Amicus.  All benefits ceased as of the Separation Date, unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement or under Amicus policies.  
3.    General Release of Claims.
a.

b.    Employee expressly represents, warrants and covenants that Employee has not filed any charges, complaints or lawsuits against any Releasee with any governmental agency, tribunal or court.  While nothing in the Section in intended to prohibit the Employee from initiating contact, filing a charge or otherwise cooperating with or assisting any governmental agency in any lawful investigation, by signing this Agreement, the Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Employee is waiving, and will not be entitled to any other or further monetary, financial or equitable relief.

However, Employee acknowledges that this Release applies to all claims Employee has under the ADEA and that, unless the Release is held to be invalid, all of Employee’s claims under the ADEA shall be extinguished.  Additionally, Employee does not release or discharge the Releasees from any of the obligations owed to Employee pursuant to any tax qualified pension plan of Amicus or its affiliates in which Employee participated.
c.    Employee agrees and acknowledges that this Section 3 and the Release contained in this Agreement extends to all of the aforementioned claims and potential claims which arose on or before the date hereof, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and that this constitutes an essential term of this Release and this Agreement.  Employee further understands and acknowledges the significance and consequences of this Agreement and of each specific release and waiver, and expressly consents that this Release shall be given full force and effect to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and uncompensated claims, if any, as well as those relating to any other claims specified herein. 
Employee hereby waives any right or claim that Employee may have to employment, reinstatement or re-employment with Amicus. 
d.     The Employee represents and warrants that the Employee has reported to the Employee’s manager, Human Resources, the Compliance Department or the Legal Department any known violations of the Amicus Code of Conduct or of any law by the Releasees.    
e.    This Agreement and Release (as defined herein) is not to be construed as an admission of any violation of any federal, state or local statute, ordinance or regulation or of any duty owed by Amicus or its employees to Employee.  There have been no such violations, and Employee acknowledges that Amicus specifically denies any such violations.

4.    Confidentiality.
