Salary” for all purposes of this letter agreement). Unless agreed by you in writing, your Base Salary may not be decreased by the Board or otherwise.

You will also be entitled, conditioned upon your continued employment with the Company or one of the Company Affiliates through and including the applicable date of payment, to receive one or more special bonuses (each, a “Performance Bonus”), in such amount(s), for such period(s) and based on such criteria as determined from time to time, and if ever, by the Board in the Board’s sole discretion.

that would otherwise be made pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 5(a), with such payment being made on the next regularly scheduled payroll date after such revocation period expires. In the event that the Company’s delivers written notice to you that the Board, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, has determined that you have been negligent in the performance of your duties, provided that you have been given an opportunity of no less than 30 days after receipt of such notice to cure any such instances of negligence, if the Company terminates your employment without Cause following the Board’s good faith, reasonable determination that you have failed to cure, any unvested equity awards that you hold will be forfeited.

Company has been given an opportunity of no less than 30 days after receipt of such notice to cure the circumstances alleged to give rise to Good Reason and you have cooperated in good faith with the Company’s efforts to cure such condition or circumstance (which cooperation will not require you to waive or diminish any of your rights hereunder), but only to the extent that such circumstances are reasonably curable, and (c) you elect to terminate the Employment Period within 30 days following the end of the Company’s cure period due to the Company’s failure to cure.

Change of Control.

 

	
(a)
	
In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2015 Plan or a successor plan), all equity awards you hold shall, to the extent unvested, fully vest as of immediately prior to such Change of Control.
	
 

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter agreement:

 

(i)In the event it is determined by an independent nationally recognized public accounting firm that is reasonably acceptable to you, which is engaged and paid for by the Company prior to the consummation of any transaction constituting a 280G Change of Control (which for purposes of this Section 6(b) shall mean a change in ownership or control as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which accounting firm shall in no event be the accounting firm for the entity seeking to effectuate the 280G Change of Control (the “Accountant”), which determination shall be certified by the Accountant and set forth in a certificate delivered to you not less than ten business days prior to the 280G Change of Control setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the Accountant’s calculations (including any assumptions that the Accountant made in performing the calculations), that part or all of the consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to you under this letter agreement constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, then, if the aggregate present value of such parachute payments, singularly or together with the aggregate present value of any consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to you under any other plan, arrangement or agreement which constitute “parachute payments” (collectively, the “Parachute Amount”) exceeds the maximum amount that would not give rise to any liability under Section 4999 of the Code, the amounts constituting “parachute payments” which would otherwise be payable to you or for your benefit shall be reduced to the maximum amount that would not give rise to any liability under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Reduced Amount”); provided that such amounts shall not be so reduced if the Accountant determines that without such reduction you would be entitled to receive and retain, on a net after-tax basis (including, without limitation, any excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code), an amount which is greater than the amount, on a net after-tax basis, that you would be entitled to retain upon receipt of the Reduced Amount. In connection with making determinations under this Section 6(b), the Accountant shall take into account any positions to mitigate any excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code, such as the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by you before or after the 280G Change of Control.

(ii)If the determination made pursuant to Section 6(b) results in a reduction of the payments that would otherwise be paid to you except for the application of Section 6(b), the Company shall promptly give you notice of such determination. Such reduction in payments shall be first applied to reduce any cash payments that you would otherwise be entitled to receive (whether pursuant to this letter agreement or otherwise) and shall thereafter be applied to reduce other payments and benefits, in each case, in reverse order beginning with the payments or benefits that are to be paid the furthest in time from the date of such determination, unless, to the extent permitted by Section 409A (as defined in Section 13(h)), you elect to have the reduction in payments applied in a different order; provided that, in no event may such payments be reduced in a manner that would result in subjecting you to additional taxation under Section 409A. Within ten business days following such determination, the Company shall pay or distribute to you or for your benefit such amounts as are then due to you under this letter agreement and shall promptly pay or distribute to you or for your benefit in the future such amounts as become due to you under this letter agreement.

 

(iii)As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code at the time of a determination hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company to or for your benefit pursuant to this letter agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Company to or for your benefit pursuant to this letter agreement could have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accountant, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the Company or you which the Accountant believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or for your benefit shall be repaid by you to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code; provided, however, that no such repayment shall be required if and to the extent such deemed repayment would not either reduce the amount on which you are subject to tax under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accountant, based on controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for your benefit together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

 

(iv)In the event of any dispute with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with respect to the application of this Section 6(b), you shall control the issues involved in such dispute and make all final determinations with regard to such issues. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall promptly pay, upon demand by you, all legal fees, court costs, fees of experts and other costs and expenses which you incur no later than ten years following your death in any actual, threatened or contemplated contest of your interpretation of, or determination under, the provisions of this Section 6(b).

For purposes of this letter agreement, “Restriction Period” means (i) the Employment Period and any other period during which you are employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and (ii) a period of six months following your separation from employment, regardless of the reason for your separation and whether caused by you or the Company.
	
 

 

	
(c)

(d)
	
During the Restriction Period and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Restriction Period, you also will not:

(ii)engage, employ, solicit or contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, any employee, officer or manager of, or full-time consultant to, the Company or any of the Company Affiliates or any person who has been an employee, officer or manager of, or consultant to, the Company or any of the Company Affiliates, if she or she has been in such a role at any time within the immediately prior three months; or

10.
	
Enforcement.

 

	
(a)
	
Because the employment relationship between you and the Company is unique and because you have access to Confidential Information and Work Product, you agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of Section 7, 8 or 9. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 7, 8 or 9, the Company may, in addition to its other rights and remedies, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, such provisions (without posting a bond or other security).
	
 

 

	
(b)
	
Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 will expressly survive termination of this letter agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action by you against the Company and/or any of the Company Affiliates shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants contained in Section 6(b), 7, 8 or 9, but such claim or cause of action shall be litigated separately.

value by that Party and such Party shall be responsible for the reporting described in the immediately preceding sentence.

Calculation of Promotion Fee.

 

(a)Subject to Section 6.1.2, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter following the First Commercial Sale, as consideration for the Eagle Activities performed by Eagle, TYME shall pay Eagle a promotion fee based on Net Sales during the Term, calculated by multiplying fifteen percent (15%) by Net Sales of all Product in the Territory in each Fiscal Quarter.

 

(b)At any time after the date hereof, TYME shall have the right to terminate Eagle’s right to Detail and Promote the Product in the Territory in the Field upon a payment to Eagle of all accrued, earned but unpaid promotion fee amounts plus the Buyout Amount.

 

6.1.2Adjustment of Promotion Fee. In the event that Eagle fails to satisfy the Eagle Quarterly Minimum Details for the Product or fails to demonstrate Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on other aspects of the Sales Plan then in effect for a period of two (2) consecutive Fiscal Quarters, the promotion fee payable by TYME pursuant to Section 6.1.1(a) shall be reduced to twelve percent (12%) for subsequent Fiscal Quarters and Eagle shall continue to receive such reduced promotion fee until such Fiscal Quarter in which Eagle satisfies the Eagle Quarterly Minimum Details for the Product or demonstrates Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on other aspects of the Sales Plan, as the case may be.

 

18
 

EXECUTION VERSION
 
Eagle’s failure to meet the Eagle Quarterly Minimum Details or to demonstrate Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on other aspects of the Sales Plan then in effect for the Product for a period of four (4) consecutive Fiscal Quarters shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement (it being understood that a failure to meet the Eagle Quarterly Minimum Details or to demonstrate Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on other aspects of the Sales Plan then in effect for the Product for any period less than four consecutive Fiscal Quarters shall not alone be deemed a material breach of this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such material breach of this Agreement shall give rise to TYME’s immediate ability to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2.2 and shall not be subject to any cure period.

 

	
 
	
6.2
	
Reports; Payments.

 

6.2.1Quarterly Reports and Payments. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter during the Term, TYME shall provide to Eagle a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Net Sales for such Fiscal Quarter and the promotion fee payable in respect of such Net Sales in accordance with Section 6.1, including the number of units of the Product shipped to patients in the Territory during such Fiscal Quarter, together with an itemized list of such units by Target Professional writing the applicable prescription. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter during the Term, TYME shall pay to Eagle the undisputed portion of the promotion fee payable in respect of such Net Sales in accordance with Section 6.1. If this Agreement terminates or expires during a Fiscal Quarter, the promotion fee payable to Eagle under Section 6.1 shall be calculated only on the Net Sales that occurred during prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration in such Fiscal Quarter.

 

6.2.2Monthly Estimate Reports. Within fifteen (15) Business Days of the end of each month within each Fiscal Quarter, TYME shall provide to Eagle a written report setting forth TYME’s good faith estimate of the Net Sales and the estimated promotion fee payable in respect of such Net Sales for each of such calendar month and the Fiscal Quarter- to-date period, together with its good faith estimates of each of the items described in Section 6.2.1 above. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the monthly reports shall only set forth TYME’s good faith estimates of the items contained therein and are being provided to Eagle for information purposes only and shall not be determinative of the any amounts due hereunder.

 

6.2.3Payment Adjustments. If new information becomes available after the close of a Fiscal Quarter under the process described in Section 6.2.1 that would adjust the amount of recognized Net Sales or payments under this Agreement, such adjustments shall be made in the Fiscal Quarter they become available. Additions or deductions in payments resulting from any adjustments shall be applied to the next regularly scheduled quarterly payment.

 

6.2.4Disputes. Promptly upon receipt of the quarterly or monthly reports described in this Section 6.2, Eagle shall review such reports and, in the event that Eagle disputes any of the items described in such report, Eagle shall promptly notify TYME of any such disputes. The Parties shall meet promptly thereafter to attempt to resolve such disputes.

If Eagle does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to Eagle from the due date until the date of payment at the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the due date plus two percent (2.0%) per annum or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law, whichever is less. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reason for any late payment is resulting from or arising out of any act or omission on the part of Eagle, including, but not limited to, any delay providing the payment instructions pursuant to Section 6.2.5, such interest shall not accrue. For clarity, any payments due from adjustments under Section 6.2.3 shall not be considered late payments.

 

6.3Taxes. To the extent TYME is required to deduct and withhold taxes from any payment to Eagle, TYME shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Eagle an official tax receipt or other evidence of timely payment sufficient to enable Eagle to claim the payment of such taxes as a deduction or tax credit. Eagle may provide to TYME any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for TYME to not withhold tax and TYME shall dispense with withholding, as applicable. TYME shall provide Eagle with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes.

Claims, and all associated Losses, to the extent incurred or suffered by any of them to the extent resulting from or arising out of (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of TYME under this Agreement, (b) the negligence, willful misconduct or violation of Applicable Laws by TYME (or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives), (c) the misappropriation or infringement of the intellectual property rights of any Third Party in connection with the Product, including from the use of the TYME Trademarks and Copyrights on Product Labeling or Product Materials in accordance with this Agreement, or (d) the Development and Commercialization of the Product by or on behalf of TYME, its Affiliates and any of their respective licensees, including the death or personal injury to any person related to use of the Product; except in each case to the extent any such Claims, and all associated Losses, are caused by an item for which Eagle is obligated to indemnify TYME pursuant to Section 10.2.

 

10.2Indemnification by Eagle. Eagle shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless TYME and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns from and against all Claims and all associated Losses, to the extent incurred or suffered by any of them to the extent resulting from or arising out of (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of Eagle under this Agreement, (b) the negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of Applicable Laws by Eagle (or any of its Affiliates or its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives) or (c) labor disputes, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charges or employment-related claims arising from or related to Eagle’s employees; except in each case to the extent any such Claims, and all associated Losses, are caused by an item for which TYME is obligated to indemnify Eagle pursuant to Section 10.1.

 

10.3Indemnification Procedures. The Party seeking indemnification under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as applicable (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to the Party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion or commencement of any Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as applicable, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall assume and control the defense and settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding at its own expense; provided, however, if the Indemnified Party is TYME, it shall assume and control the defense and settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding.

The Indemnified Party shall be entitled at its own expense to participate in such defense and to employ separate counsel for such purpose. For so long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently defending any proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as applicable, for any settlement effected without its consent. No Party shall enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the other Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action without the other Party’s prior written consent (unless such compromise or settlement includes no payments by the Indemnified Party, an unconditional release of, and no admission of liability by, the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Claim).

THE FOREGOING SENTENCE SHALL NOT LIMIT (1) THE OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY FROM AND AGAINST THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 10.1 OR 10.2, AS APPLICABLE, OR (2) DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF THE NON-COMPETE AND NON-SOLICIT OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION

2.3 AND THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-USE OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 8.

TYME does not and will not maintain or procure any worker’s compensation, healthcare, or other insurance for or on behalf of any Field Force Personnel, all of which shall be Eagle’s sole responsibility. For clarity, the insurance

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may retain archival copies of any Confidential Information to the extent required by law, regulation or professional standards or copies of Confidential Information created pursuant to the automatic backing-up of electronic files where the delivery or destruction of such files would cause undue hardship to the receiving Party, so long as any such archival or electronic file back- up copies are accessible only to its legal or IT personnel, provided that such Confidential Information shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

11.4Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of any Party prior to such termination or expiration. Notwithstanding any expiration or termination of this Agreement, such expiration or termination shall not relieve any Party from obligations which are expressly or by implication intended to survive expiration or termination, including Sections 2.3, 4.4.2, 5.7, 5.9, 6.2.4, 6.2.5, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 11.3 and 11.4, Articles 7, 8 and 12 (to the extent applicable to implementation of the survival of the preceding Sections and Articles) and, solely as it relates to the last Fiscal Quarter, Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3, which shall survive and be in full force and effect.
