Dear Safi:
This letter agreement is to confirm our understanding with you with respect to
your employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of Synta
Pharmaceuticals Corp. (hereinafter "Synta Pharmaceuticals" or the "Company"),
reporting directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board").
1. EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of this agreement is the date that you
accept the terms hereof as set forth on the signature page hereto.
2. BOARD MEMBERSHIP: While you continue to serve as President and Chief
Executive Officer, the Board also agrees to nominate you for election as a
director at each annual meeting of stockholders immediately preceding which your
then current term as a director expires.
3. COMPENSATION: Your initial base salary will be $340,000 annually (the "Base
Salary"); payable at a semi-monthly rate of approximately $14,167 (or otherwise
in accordance with the Company's payroll practices as in effect from time to
time), from which all applicable taxes and other customary employment-related
deductions will be taken. The Base Salary may be subject to adjustment from time
to time in the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee thereof.
For each fiscal year of the Company during the term of this agreement, the
Board, or the Compensation Committee thereof, may, in its discretion, grant to
you an option to purchase shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common
Stock") under the Company's 2001 Stock Plan (the "Plan"), or any successor plan
then in effect. The exercise price for any such option will be the fair market
value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and the other terms
and conditions of such option will be as set forth in the Plan and in a written
stock option agreement between you and the Company, evidencing such option. Each
option will be an incentive stock option to the extent permissible under
applicable law.
You will be eligible to receive annual performance based bonuses. Such bonus, if
any, will be granted at the discretion of the Board, or the Compensation
Committee thereof.
4. BENEFITS: As a full-time employee, you will be eligible to participate in
certain Company-sponsored benefit plans to the same extent as, and subject to
the same terms, conditions and
1
limitations applicable to other executive officers of the Company. All benefits
may be changed or modified from time to time at the Company's sole discretion.
5. TERMINATION AND SEVERANCE: Upon termination of your employment for any
reason, you shall receive payment of (a) your Base Salary, as then in effect,
through the date of termination of employment (the "Termination Date"), and (b)
all accrued vacation, expense reimbursements and any other benefits (other than
severance benefits, except as provided below) due to you through the Termination
Date in accordance with established Company plans and policies or applicable
law. In addition, in the event the Company terminates your employment without
cause, you will be entitled to continue to receive your then-current Base Salary
for a period equal to twenty-four (24) months, payable in accordance with the
Company's normal payroll practices.
For purposes of this agreement, termination "without cause" shall include, but
not be limited to, your resignation following a significant material diminution
in your title, salary, duties or responsibilities by the Company. The preceding
sentence notwithstanding, "cause" shall include (but is not limited to): (i) any
substantial malfeasance or non-feasance of duty, (ii) any material breach by you
of any of the terms of the Confidential Information Agreement and
Non-Competition Agreement between you and the Company, (iii) any attempt by you
to secure any improper personal profit in connection with the business of the
Company or any of its affiliates, (iv) your conviction, or the entry of a
pleading of guilty or nolo contendre by you to, any crime involving moral
turpitude or any felony, or (v) any conduct substantially injurious or
prejudicial to the business of the Company or its affiliates.
On the Termination Date, and as a condition to the receipt of the aforementioned
severance payments, you shall execute and deliver to the Company your written
release of the Company and its officers, directors, employees, security holders,
agents, and representatives from any and all claims and causes of action against
the Company arising in connection with your employment with the Company.
6. EMPLOYMENT PERIOD: Subject to the provision of severance payments as set
forth in Section 5, your employment with the Company will be at-will, meaning
that you will not be obligated to remain employed by the Company for any
specified period of time; likewise, the Company will not be obligated to
continue your employment for any specific period and may terminate your
employment at any time, with or without cause.
7. CONTINGENCIES: This agreement and your employment with the Company is
contingent upon your execution of the standard form of Non-Competition,
Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement (a copy of which is attached hereto as
EXHIBIT A).
8. JURISDICTION AND WAIVER: In the case of any dispute, this agreement shall be
interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. By accepting
the terms of this agreement, you agree that any action, demand, claim or
counterclaim in connection with any aspect of your employment with the Company,
or any separation of employment (whether voluntary or involuntary) from the
Company, shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in Massachusetts
by a judge alone, and you knowingly waive and forever renounce your right to a
trial before a civil jury.

9. INSURANCE. The Company, in its sole discretion, may apply for and purchase
key person life insurance on your life in an amount determined by the Company
with the Company as beneficiary and one or more other policies of insurance
insuring your life. You will submit to any medical or other examinations and
execute and deliver any applications or other instruments in writing that are
reasonably necessary to effectuate such insurance.
10. REPRESENTATIONS. You hereby represent and warrant to the Company that you
understand this agreement, that you enter into this agreement voluntarily and
that your employment under this agreement will not conflict with any legal duty
owed by you to any other party, or with any agreement to which you are a party
or by which you are bound, including, without limitation, any non-competition or
non-solicitation provision contained in any such agreement. You will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, security
holders, agents and representatives against loss, damage, liability or expense
arising from any claim based upon circumstances alleged to be inconsistent with
such representation and warranty.

specifically referred to herein, embodies the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to

any person or entity that succeeds to all or substantially all of the Company's
business or that aspect of the Company's business in which you are principally
involved or to any Company Affiliate. You may not assign your rights and
obligations under this agreement without the prior written consent of the
Company, and any such attempted assignment by you without the prior written

Sincerely,

[ADDRESS]
Dear Safi:
This letter is to confirm our understanding with respect to (i) your
agreement not to compete with Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. or its subsidiaries or
affiliates (collectively, the "Company") and (ii) your agreement to protect and
preserve information and property which is confidential and proprietary to the
Company (the terms and conditions agreed to in this letter shall hereinafter be
referred to as the "Agreement"). You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are
an "at-will" employee and that no provision of this Agreement shall be construed
to create an express or implied employment contract, or a promise of employment
for a specific period of time, and the Company expressly reserves the right to
end your employment at any time, with or without notice or cause.
In consideration of your employment by the Company, the mutual promises
and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually
acknowledged, we have agreed as follows:
1. PROHIBITED COMPETITION AND SOLICITATION.
(a) CERTAIN ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND AGREEMENTS.
(i) We have discussed, and you recognize and acknowledge
the competitive and proprietary aspects of the business of the Company.
(ii) You will devote your full time and efforts to the
business of the Company and, during the period of your employment with the
Company (the "Term") and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following
termination of your employment (whether such termination is voluntary or
involuntary), shall not participate, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, in
any business which is competitive with the Company without the prior written
consent of the Company. You acknowledge and agree that a business will be deemed
competitive with the Company if it conducts research, performs any of the
services or manufactures or sells any of the products provided or offered by the
Company or if it performs any other services and/or engages in the production,
manufacture, distribution or sale of any product that may be purchased in lieu
of purchasing services performed or products produced,
A-1
manufactured, distributed or sold by the Company within the Field of Interest
(as defined below) at any time during the period of your employment with the
Company.
(iii) You further acknowledge and agree that, during the
course of your employment with the Company, the Company will furnish, disclose
or make available to you confidential and proprietary information related to the
Company's business and that the Company may provide you with unique and
specialized training. You also acknowledge that such confidential information
and such training have been developed and will be developed by the Company
through the expenditure by the Company of substantial time, effort and money and
that all such confidential information and training could be used by you to
compete with the Company.
(b) NON-SOLICITATION. During the Term and for a period of
twenty-four (24) months following termination of your employment, whether such
termination is voluntary or involuntary, you shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company:
(i) either individually or on behalf of or through any
third party, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or
appropriate, any customer of the Company with which you had any contact at any
time during the Term, with the effect or intention of reducing or limiting the
amount of business the customer does with the Company; or
(ii) either individually or on behalf of or through any
third party, directly or indirectly, solicit, entice or persuade or attempt to
solicit, entice or persuade any employees of or consultants to the Company
(other than your spouse), who have been employees or consultants of the Company
at any time during the Term, or who are employees at the time of the
solicitation, to leave the services of the Company.
(c) FIELD OF INTEREST. As used herein, the term "Field of Interest"
means the research of, and/or the development, manufacture and sale of, any
therapeutic or diagnostic product that is developed, manufactured or sold by the
Company at any time during the Term, as documented in the bi-weekly scientific
project reports or other scientific planning documents of the company (the
"Scientific Reports") prepared by the Company during the Term. You hereby
acknowledge and agree that the Field of Interest shall be assessed for purposes
of this Agreement as of the date on which your employment with the Company
terminates, which assessment shall include, without limitation, a review of the
applicable Scientific Reports.
(d) REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS. You further acknowledge and
agree that (i) the activities which are prohibited by this Section 1 are narrow
and reasonable in relation to the skills which represent your principal salable
asset both to the Company and to your other prospective employers, and (ii)
given the global nature of the Company's business, including its need to market
its services and sell its products in a large geographic area in order to have a
sufficient customer base to make the Company's business profitable, the
geographic, length of time and substantive scope of the provisions of this
Section 1 are reasonable, legitimate and fair to you.
A-2
(e) SURVIVAL OF ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND AGREEMENTS. Except as expressly
set forth hereunder, your acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this
Section 1 shall survive the termination of your employment with the Company for
the periods set forth above.
2. PROTECTED INFORMATION.
(a) CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS. You shall at all times, both
during the Term and thereafter, maintain in confidence and shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Company, use, except in the course of
performance of your duties for the Company, disclose or give to others any
Confidential Information of the Company. As used herein, the term "Confidential
Information" shall mean any information which is disclosed to or developed by
you during the course of performing services for, or receiving training from,
the Company, and is not generally available to the public, including but not
limited to confidential information concerning business plans, customers, future
customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, investors, affiliates or
others, training methods and materials, financial information, sales prospects,
client lists, Company Inventions (as defined in Section 3), or any other
scientific, technical, trade or business secret or confidential or proprietary
information of the Company or of any third party provided to you during the
Term. In the event anyone not employed or otherwise engaged by the Company seeks
information from you in regard to any such Confidential Information or any other
secret or confidential work of the Company, or concerning any fact or
circumstance relating thereto, you will promptly notify the chairman of the
board of the Company.
(b) LIMITED EXCEPTIONS. The restrictions in Section 2(a) hereof
shall not apply to information that, as can be established by competent written
records: (i) was publicly known at the time of the Company's communication
thereof to you; (ii) becomes publicly known through no fault of yours subsequent
to the time of the Company's communication thereof to you; (iii) was in your
possession free of any obligation of confidence at the time of the Company's
communication thereof to you; or (iv) is developed by you independently of and
without reference to or use of any of the Company's Confidential Information. In
the event that you are required by law, regulation or court order to disclose
any of the Company's Confidential Information, you shall (i) first notify the
Company of such disclosure requirement and (ii) furnish only that portion of the
Confidential Information that is legally required and will exercise all
reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment
will be accorded the Confidential Information
(c) SURVIVAL OF ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND AGREEMENTS. Except as expressly
set forth hereunder, your acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this
Section 2 shall survive the termination of your employment with the Company.
3. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IDEAS.
(a) PROPERTY OF THE COMPANY. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Inventions" shall mean all ideas, discoveries, creations, manuscripts and
properties, innovations, improvements, know-how, inventions, designs,
developments, apparatus, techniques, methods, biological processes, cell lines,
laboratory notebooks and formulae, whether patentable, copyrightable or not,
including all rights to obtain, register, perfect and enforce any of the
A-3
foregoing. You hereby agree that any Inventions which you may conceive, reduce
to practice or develop during the Term in connection with the business
activities of the Company or otherwise within the Field of Interest, alone or in
conjunction with any other party, whether during or out of regular business
hours, and whether at the request or upon the suggestion of the Company, or
otherwise (collectively, the "Company Inventions"), shall be the sole and
exclusive property of the Company. You hereby assign to the Company all of your
right, title and interest in and to all such Company Inventions and hereby agree
that you shall not publish any of the Company Inventions without the prior
written consent of the Company.
(b) COOPERATION. During the Term, you agree that, without further
compensation, you will disclose promptly to the Company in writing, all Company
Inventions you conceive, reduce to practice or develop during the Term (or, if
based on or related to any Confidential Information of the Company obtained by
you during the Term, within one (1) year after the termination of your
employment). You further agree that you will fully cooperate with the Company,
its attorneys and agents in the preparation and filing of all papers and other
documents as may be reasonably required to perfect the Company's rights in and
to any of such Company Inventions, including, but not limited to, joining in any
proceeding to obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks or other legal rights of
the United States and of any and all other countries on such Company Inventions;
PROVIDED, THAT, the Company will bear the expense of such proceedings (including
all of your reasonable expenses). You further agree that any patent or other
legal right covering any Company Invention so issued to you, personally, shall
be assigned by you to the Company without charge by you. You further acknowledge
that all original works of authorship made by you, whether alone or jointly with
others within the scope of your employment and which are protectable by
copyright are "works made for hire" within the meaning of the United States
Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ss. 101, as amended, the copyright of which shall be
owned solely, completely and exclusively by the Company. If any Company
Invention is considered to be work not included in the categories of work
covered by the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ss. 101, as amended, such
work shall be owned solely by, or hereby assigned or transferred completely and
exclusively to, the Company. If the Company is unable because of your mental or
physical incapacity or for any other reason, after reasonable effort, to secure
your signature on any document or documents needed to obtain or enforce any
patent, copyright, trademarks or any other rights covering Inventions or
original works of authorship assigned by you to the Company as required above,
you hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized
officers and agents as your agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in your
behalf and stead to execute and file any application or assignment and to do all
other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance to the
Company of patents, copyright registrations, trademark registrations or similar
protections covering the Inventions with the same legal force and effect as if
executed by you.
4. PROVISIONS NECESSARY AND REASONABLE/BREACH/ATTORNEYS' FEES. You
agree that (i) the provisions of Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Agreement are
necessary and reasonable to protect the Company's Confidential Information,
Company Inventions, and goodwill and (ii) in the event of any breach of any of
the covenants set forth herein, the Company would suffer substantial irreparable
harm and would not have an adequate remedy at law for such breach. In
recognition of the foregoing, you agree that in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of any of these covenants, in addition to such other remedies
as the Company may have at law, without posting
A-4
any bond or security, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable
relief, in the form of specific performance, and/or temporary, preliminary or
permanent injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy which then may be
available. The seeking of such injunction or order shall not affect the
Company's right to seek and obtain damages or other equitable relief on account
of any such actual or threatened breach. In the event the Company takes any
court action with respect to your breach or threatened breach of this Agreement,
and prevails in such action, you shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for
its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in such action.
5. DISCLOSURE TO FUTURE EMPLOYERS. You agree that you will provide, and
that the Company may similarly provide in its discretion, a copy of the
covenants contained in Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Agreement to any business or
enterprise which you may directly, or indirectly, own, manage, operate, finance,
join, control or in which you participate in the ownership, management,
operation, financing, or control, or with which you may be connected as an
officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, representative,
consultant or otherwise.
6. REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING PRIOR WORK AND LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.
(a) You represent that you have no agreement or other legal
obligation with any prior employer or any other person or entity that restricts
your ability to engage in employment discussions with, employment with, or to
perform any function for, the Company.
(b) You represent that you have been advised by the Company that at
no time should you divulge to or use for the benefit of the Company, any trade
secret or confidential or proprietary information of any previous employer. You
acknowledge that you have not divulged or used any such information for the
benefit of the Company.
(c) You acknowledge that the Company is basing important business
decisions on these representations, and affirm that all of the statements
included herein are true.
7. RECORDS. Upon termination of your employment relationship with the
Company, you shall deliver to the Company any property of the Company which may
be in your possession including products, materials, memoranda, notes, records,
reports, or other documents or photocopies of the same.
8. NO CONFLICTING AGREEMENTS. You hereby represent and warrant that you
have no commitments or obligations inconsistent with this Agreement and you
