Sage Therapeutics, Inc.

Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

The purpose of this Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”) of Sage Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is to provide a total compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high-caliber directors who are not employees or officers of the Company.  In furtherance of this purpose, all non-employee directors shall be paid compensation for services provided to the Company as set forth below:

Cash Retainers

The cash retainers to be paid to non-employee directors for their participation on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and committees of the Board are as follows:

All cash retainers will be paid quarterly, in arrears, or upon the earlier resignation or removal of the non-employee director.  Cash retainers shall be annualized, meaning that, with respect to non-employee directors who join the Board during the calendar year, such amounts shall be pro-rated based on the number of calendar days served by such director. 

ACTIVE/72238366.4

Election to Receive Options In Lieu of Cash Retainers.

 

Each non-employee director may elect to receive a stock option to purchase the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) in lieu of payment of all (but not a portion) of the cash retainers specified above that would have otherwise been paid for service on the Board and committees of the Board in a given calendar year. 

 

Election.  To elect to receive an option to purchase shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash retainers for any calendar year, the non-employee director must notify the Company’s Corporate Secretary in writing of such election prior to the commencement of the calendar year for which the cash retainers would otherwise have been paid (the “Payment Year”).  A newly elected or appointed non-employee director may not make an election for the year in which he or she first becomes a non-employee director.  All elections shall remain in effect for future calendar years unless revoked by written notice to the Corporate Secretary.  A revocation of an election received after the start of a calendar year will not be effective until the next calendar year.  

 

Number of Option Shares and Terms of Grant. The number of shares underlying each stock option to be granted to a non-employee director who has made an election to receive an option in lieu of cash retainers for any year shall be determined on the first business day of the Payment Year, and shall equal the total amount of the cash retainers the non-employee director would have received in the Payment Year under this Policy divided by the product of (x) the closing trading price of the Common Stock on such first business day of the Payment Year and (y) 70%.  Each stock option granted pursuant to such election shall be granted on the second business day of the Payment Year and shall fully vest on the last business day of such year, subject to the non-employee director’s continued service through such date.   If a non-employee director who has elected to receive a stock option in lieu of cash retainers is appointed to one or more additional committees of the Board after the start of the relevant Payment Year (but not where the individual is departing the same number of Board committees), such director may receive a cash retainer for such additional services.  

 

See also General Terms Applicable to Option Grants for additional terms.

 

Equity Retainers

Initial Equity Grant: Each new non-employee director will, on the business day after his/her election to the Board is first effective, be granted a one-time option to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock.  Such initial equity grant shall vest in equal monthly installments during the 36 months following the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board.

On the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders:  Each non-employee director serving on the Board immediately following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders for a given year will, on the date of the meeting, be granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock.  Such annual equity grant shall vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date or the day prior to the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board. 

See also General Terms Applicable to Option Grants for additional terms.

ACTIVE/72238366.4

Options granted to non-employee directors under this Policy, whether in lieu of cash retainers or as initial or annual equity retainers, will have the following additional terms:

 

	
 
	
(i)
	
the exercise price will be the closing price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ Global Market on the date of grant;

 

	
 
	
(ii)
	
each option will become fully vested and immediately exercisable upon the death or disability of such director or upon a change in control of the Company;

 

	
 
	
(iii)
	
each option will be exercisable as to vested shares during the term of the non-employee director’s service on the Board and for a period of six months following cessation of service as a director, provided that the director has not been removed for cause; 

 

	
 
	
(iv)
	
each option will be granted under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and subject to the terms of the Plan;

each option will be documented on the Company’s standard form of non-qualified stock option agreement as modified to reflect the specific terms of this Policy; and  

 

	
 
	
(vi)

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Sixth Expansion Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and the Lease with respect to the Sixth Expansion Premises shall not be void or voidable.  As used herein, the term “Landlord’s Work” shall mean the construction, at Landlord’s cost and expense, of improvements in the Sixth Expansion Premises as reflected in the space plan attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Space Plan”).

The “Target Sixth Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be December 1, 2018.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Sixth Expansion Premises Commencement Date may occur prior to the Target Sixth Expansion Premises Commencement Date if Landlord’s Work in the Sixth Expansion Premises is Substantially Completed prior to the Target Sixth Expansion Premises Commencement Date.

Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the Sixth Expansion Premises Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Lease in a form substantially similar to the form of the “Acknowledgement of Commencement Date” attached to the Lease as Exhibit G; provided, however, Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord’s rights hereunder. 

Tenant agrees and acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of all or any portion of the Sixth Expansion Premises, and/or the suitability of the Sixth Expansion Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Sixth Expansion Premises are suitable for the Permitted Use.
