Exhibit 10.1

 

Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

 

This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (“Agreement”), dated effective July 19, 2019, is made in the State of Arizona by and between Jennifer Streeter (“Executive”) and Isoray, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and fully amends and restates that Employment Agreement between Executive and the Company entered into on September 24, 2018.

 

WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of providing innovative solutions for the treatment of malignancies using medical isotopes (the “Business”); and

 

WHEREAS, the parties desire that the Company retain Executive under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties desire to express their mutual agreements, covenants, promises, and understandings in a written agreement;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, promises, covenants, and provisions contained in this Agreement, the parties agree and declare as follows:

 

1.     Employment. The Company hereby employs Executive and Executive accepts employment under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

2.     Position and Duties.

 

(a)     Beginning on July 19, 2019, and continuing until July 19, 2020, Executive will faithfully and diligently serve the Company to the best of her ability in her position as both Interim Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Human Resources. For the duration of the Term of this Agreement she will serve to the best of her ability in her position of Vice President of Human Resources, and in the performance of such other duties and responsibilities as the Company may assign to her.

 

(b)     Executive will devote her full professional time, attention, and energies to the performance of her duties for the Company, and will not, during her employment under this Agreement, engage in any other business activity, whether or not for profit, except for passive investments in firms or businesses that do not compete with the Company, without the advance written and signed consent of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 2(b), Executive will be permitted to serve as a director of not for profit and for profit businesses that do not compete with the Company.

 

(c)     Executive warrants that during the term of her employment under this Agreement, she will not do any act or engage in any conduct, or permit, condone, or acquiesce in any act or conduct of other persons, that she knew or should have known could cause the Company to be in violation of any law or statute, and Executive agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, fees, losses, and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever attributable directly or indirectly to a violation of this warranty.

 

 

 

 

(d)     Executive agrees to comply with the policies and procedures of the Company as may be adopted and changed from time to time, including without limitation, those described in the Company’s employee handbook, Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer & Senior Financial Officers, and Code of Conduct and Ethics. If this Agreement conflicts with such policies or procedures, this Agreement will control.

 

(e)     As an officer of the Company, Executive owes a duty of care and loyalty to the Company as well as a duty to perform such duties in a manner that is in the best interests of the Company.

 

3.     Compensation and Benefits. For and in consideration of all services rendered under this Agreement, the Company will compensate Executive as follows:

 

(a)     Salary. During the period in which Executive serves as both Interim Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Human Resources, Executive will be compensated on the basis of an annual salary of $220,000.00, payable in accord with the Company’s standard payroll practices. During any period in which Executive is not serving as Interim COO, Executive will be compensated on the basis of an annual salary of $155,000.00, payable in accord with the Company’s standard payroll practices. Executive may be eligible for an increase of her annual salary as determined by the Compensation Committee and based upon metrics that will be established by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

 

(b)     Bonus. In addition to Executive’s base salary (Section 3(a)), throughout her employment, Executive will be eligible for a quarterly and an annual discretionary bonus as periodically established by the Compensation Committee (the “Bonus”), based upon metrics that will be established by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion paid at the time periods determined by the Compensation Committee.

 

(c)     Stock Options. Executive shall be eligible to participate in and receive stock options as defined by the relevant equity incentive plan.

 

(d)     Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary expenses that Executive incurs in carrying out her duties under this Agreement in accordance with the Company reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time, provided that Executive presents to the Company from time to time an itemized account of such expenses in such form as the Company may require.

 

(e)     Paid Time Off. Executive is entitled to unlimited Paid Time Off (“PTO”), as long as Executive fulfills her job duties. Such paid time shall include time off for sickness, vacation, or personal reasons. The time or times during which leave may be taken shall be by mutual agreement of the Company and Executive. Whenever possible, the Company agrees to accommodate and grant Executive’s request for time. Since Executive does not accrue PTO, the Company will not compensate for any PTO upon termination of the Agreement.

 

(f)     Participation in Benefit Plans. As of the Effective Date, Executive shall be included in any and all plans of the Company providing general benefits for the Company’s employees, including, without limitation, medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k) plan, and holidays.

 

 

 

 

4.     Term/Termination Of Employment.

 

(a)     Initial Term. Executive’s employment under this Agreement commenced on September 24, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), and will continue for a period of three (3) years (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement shall renew only upon thirty (30) days written notice as provided in Section 4(b).

 

(b)     Renewal. Upon at least thirty (30) days written notice by the Company prior to the end of the Initial Term, and subject to the provisions for termination set forth below, the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement will extend thereafter for a period of one year (the “Renewal Term”). Upon the expiration of such subsequent term and any term renewed hereunder, and subject to the provisions for termination set forth below, the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement will require thirty (30) days written notice of renewal by the Company for each successive Renewal Term of one-year.

 

(c)     Employment At Will. Notwithstanding Sections 4(b) and 4(b), Executive understands and agrees that this Agreement does not create an obligation on the part of the Company or any other person or entity to continue Executive’s employment. Executive acknowledges and agrees that she is an at-will employee of the Company, which means that either party to this Agreement may terminate Executive’s employment with or without cause, for any or no reason and at any time. Executive’s employment shall also be deemed terminated upon Executive’s death or becoming disabled.

 

(d)     Termination. Notwithstanding the at will employment relationship defined in Section 4(c), the Agreement may be terminated by:

(iii)     The Company For Cause as defined in Section 4(e) below;

 

(iv)     Resignation by Executive at will and without notice;

(vi)     Resignation by Executive with 60-days’ written notice to the CEO; or

(ii)     Executive’s acceptance of any other employment;

 

(iii)     Executive’s conviction by a court of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to fraud, dishonesty, or other acts of misconduct in rendering services on behalf of the Company;

 

(iv)     Any deliberate or unauthorized action or omission by Executive that causes or may cause the Company to breach obligations under any contract; or

 

(v)     Executive’s material breach of any covenant, promise, provision, or obligation of this Agreement.

 

5.     Company’s Post-Termination Obligations.

 

(a)     If Executive’s employment terminates for any of the reasons set forth in Sections 4(d)(i), 4(d)(ii), 4(d)(iii), 4(d)(iv), and 4(d)(vi) above, then the Company will pay Executive (1) all accrued but unpaid wages, based on Executive’s then current base salary, through the termination date; and (2) all approved, but unreimbursed, business expenses, provided that a request for reimbursement of business expenses is submitted in accordance with the Company’s policies and submitted within five (5) business days of Executive’s termination date. Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5 shall be paid within the time required by the state of Arizona.

 

(b)     If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for the reason set forth in Section 4(d)(v) above, then the Company will: (1) pay Executive all accrued but unpaid wages through the termination date, based on Executive’s then current base salary, through the termination date; (2) reimburse all approved, but unreimbursed, business expenses, provided that a request for reimbursement of business expenses is submitted in accordance with the Company’s policies and submitted within five (5) business days of Executive’s termination date; (3) pay Executive six (6) months’ severance, based on Executive’s then current base salary, to be paid out in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; and (4) pay COBRA premiums for up to 6 months of coverage, if Executive elects to continue health insurance coverage under COBRA, unless and until Executive becomes eligible for health insurance coverage through outside employment. To exercise this right to severance under this Section 5(b), Executive must sign a separation agreement pursuant to Section 5(d), below.

 

(c)     At a Change in Control (Section 11), if Executive’s is not retained by the New Company, as set forth in Section 4(d)(vii) above, then the Company will: (1) pay Executive all accrued but unpaid wages through the termination date, based on Executive’s then current base salary, through the termination date; (2) reimburse all approved, but unreimbursed, business expenses, provided that a request for reimbursement of business expenses is submitted in accordance with the Company’s policies and submitted within five (5) business days of Executive’s termination date; (3) pay Executive twelve (12) months’ severance, based on Executive’s then current base salary, to be paid out in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, provided that Executive signs a separation agreement pursuant to Section 5(d), below.

(ii)     Executive’s compliance with the restrictive covenants (Sections 6-9) and all post-termination obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligations contained in this Agreement.

The Company’s obligation to make the separation payments set forth in Section 5(b) and Section 5(c) shall terminate immediately upon any breach by Executive of any post-termination obligations to which Executive is subject.

 

(iv)     Except as provided in Sections 5(b) and (c) above, following termination of Executive’s employment, the Company shall have no other obligations for compensation of Executive.

 

(e)     Set-Off.

(b)     Executive acknowledges that she has been instructed by the Company to, and agrees that she will, maintain the Company’s Confidential Commercial Information in a confidential manner.

(c)     All documents and other tangible property relating in any way to the business of the Company that Executive develops or that come into her possession during her employment are the property of the Company, and Executive will return all such documents and tangible property to the Company upon the termination of her employment, or at such earlier time as the Company may request.

 

(d)     Executive acknowledges that all of the commercially available software that the Company uses on its computer system that was not developed specially by or for the Company is either owned or licensed for use by the Company, and that the use of such software is governed strictly by the explicit terms and conditions of licensing agreements between the Company and the publisher of the software, and Executive agrees to adhere to those terms and conditions. Executive will not copy, duplicate, download, transfer, or otherwise make personal use of any software on the Company’s computer system without the Company’s express, written consent.

 

(e)     Executive represents that to the best of her knowledge, the performance of all the terms of this Agreement and of her duties as an employee of the Company will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence any proprietary information that she acquired in confidence prior to her employment under this Agreement, and that Executive has not entered into, and agrees that she will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement. Executive represents that to the best of her knowledge, Executive has not brought and will not bring to the Company or use in the performance of her responsibilities at the Company any materials or documents of a former employer that are not generally available to the public, unless Executive has obtained express written authorization from the former employer for their possession and use. Executive represents that she has delivered to the Company a true and correct copy of any employment, proprietary information, confidentiality, or non-competition agreement to which she is or was a party with any former employers, and that is or may be in effect as of the date hereof. Executive has been instructed not to breach any obligation of confidentiality that she may have to any former employer, and agrees that she will not commit any such breach during employment with the Company.

 

 

 

 

7.     Inventions and Copyrights.

 

(a)     Executive acknowledges that, as a part of her duties, during her employment, she may develop discoveries, concepts, and ideas concerning or relating to the Business, whether or not patentable, including without limitation processes, methods, formulas, and techniques, as well as improvements thereof or know-how related thereto, and concerning any present or prospective activities of the Company that are published before such discoveries, concepts, and ideas (“Inventions”).

 

(b)     Executive will fully disclose and will continue to disclose to the Company all Inventions that she makes or conceives, in whole or in part, at this time or during her employment with the Company.

 

(c)     Any and all Inventions will be the absolute property of the Company or its designees and, at the request of the Company and at its expense, but without additional compensation, Executive will make application in due form for United States patents and foreign patents on such Inventions, and will assign to the Company all her right, title, and interest in such Inventions, and will execute any and all instruments and do any and all acts necessary or desirable in connection with any such application for patents or in order to establish and perfect in the Company the entire right, title, and interest in such Inventions, patent applications, or patents, and also execute any instrument necessary or desirable in connection with any continuations, renewals, or reissues thereof or in the conduct of any related proceedings or litigation.

 

(d)     The Company will own the copyright in all materials created by Executive relating to the Business and eligible for copyright (which will be deemed work made-for-hire). The Company will have the right to apply for copyright registration, including any renewals or extension, whether under the laws of the U.S. or any country having jurisdiction over the copyright. Executive agrees to execute any documents necessary or appropriate for such registration. The Company will also own any trademark, service mark or trade name created by Executive (alone or in conjunction with others) for the Company and used to identify any present or future product, service, activity, operation, or function of the Company. The Company may obtain trademark or service mark protection of the Company’s rights including, at the Company’s discretion, state, federal and international registration. The Company will own all right, title, and interest in and to all results and the work product of Executive’s services for the Company (all of which will be deemed proprietary), free of any reserved rights by Executive, whether or not specifically enumerated in this Agreement.
