ACTIVE BIOTHERAPIES, INC.
CONSULTANT’S AGREEMENT
CONSULTANT’S AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made on the 1st day of May, 1995 between Active Biotherapies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“ABI”) and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx, M.D., Ph.D. (the
“Consultant”).
ABI was incorporated as a subsidiary of Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Progenics”)
to engage in scientific research in the field of developing and commercializing products for the
treatment and diagnosis of human cancers (the “Field”). The Consultant has extensive
experience in the Field, and ABI seeks to benefit from the Consultant’s expertise by retaining the
Consultant as a member of its Scientific Advisory Board (the “SAB”). The Consultant wishes
to perform consulting services in the Field for ABI. Accordingly, ABI and the Consultant agree as
follows:
1. Services.
(a) Duties. The Consultant shall provide consulting services to ABI with respect to
matters related to the Field, initially with respect to GMK, a proprietary cancer vaccine which has
undergone clinical trials. The Consultant’s services to ABI will include, but not be limited to:
(i) serving on ABI’s SAB and attending SAB meetings; (ii) formulating the scientific and clinical
strategies of ABI with respect to GMK and other products in the Field in conjunction with the SAB,
(iii) presenting such strategies to the Board of Directors of ABI for review, (iv) providing
scientific advice regarding GMK and ABI’s other current and future product lines, the general
direction of its research program, recruitment of personnel, and techniques used in research in the
Field; and (v) generally advising ABI in its efforts to produce, develop, and market products in
the Field. Other responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, coordinating the
manufacturing and clinical trials of ABI’s products under FDA regulatory guidelines, interacting
with government regulatory agencies and the investment community on behalf of ABI, establishing
strategic partnerships, and assisting ABI in obtaining licenses and other rights from institutions
which may be useful in ABI’s business, all under the general guidance of the President of ABI and
its Board of Directors.
(b) Time To Be Spent on Duties. The Consultant will devote to his activities
hereunder seventy-five percent (75%) of all of the outside consulting time which is allowed to him
from time to time by Memorial Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx Cancer Center, his primary employer (currently
eighteen (18) of twenty-four (24) days per year).
(c) MSKCC Policies. ABI acknowledges that the Consultant is subject to the policies
of his primary employer, Memorial Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx Cancer Center and/or its affiliates,
Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx Institute for Cancer Research and Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases
(“MSKCC”), as more fully described in the Addendum to this Agreement, and that Consultant’s
obligations under MSKCC’s policies take priority over any obligations the Consultant may have to
ABI by reason of this Agreement. The Consultant agrees that he and his family members will abide
by the rules set forth from time to time by MSKCC which are applicable to faculty or staff
involvement with commercial ventures. The Consultant will conduct himself and his affairs so as to avoid any
actual conflict of interest or appearance of any conflict of interest between his activities with
ABI and his other activities.
2. Compensation.
Consultant’s full consideration for the consulting services provided by him shall be as set
forth in this Section 2.
(a) Cash Compensation. ABI shall pay to the Consultant cash compensation in the
amount of $1,500.00 per month, based on an average of 1.5 consulting days per month, payable
quarterly, for as long as the Consultant remains Involved with ABI. This cash compensation shall
be retroactive to January 1, 1994 and shall accrue but not be payable until the full execution of
this Agreement. Consultant shall be solely and individually responsible for compliance with all
laws and regulations pertaining to payments received including, without limitation, filing of
estimated income tax returns and payment of income and FICA taxes. In addition to the foregoing
amount, ABI shall promptly reimburse the Consultant for all reasonable expenses incurred by the
Consultant in providing consulting services under this Agreement to the extent such expenses do not
exceed the reimbursement limits applicable to senior executives of ABI or Progenics. The
Consultant shall present expense statements or vouchers and such other information as ABI may from
time to time request.
As used in this Agreement the term “Involved” shall mean that the Consultant is actively
involved with ABI in at least one of the following capacities: (a) as an employee, or (b) as a
consultant or advisor. The determination of whether the Consultant is Involved shall be made by
the Board of Directors of ABI in its reasonable judgment.
(b) Stock Options. The Consultant will be granted stock options for 200,000 shares
of Progenics Common Stock exercisable at a price of $4.00 per share and expiring on December 31,
2003 (the “Stock Options”). The terms of the Stock Options shall be as set forth in the
Progenics Stock Option Plan and in the stock option agreements representing the Stock Options.
3. Covenant Not To Compete.
During the period in which this Agreement is in effect and for one (1) year thereafter,
neither Consultant nor any member of his immediate family will, directly or indirectly, own,
(except as an investor in securities listed on a national securities exchange or actively traded
over the counter so long a such investments do not exceed one percent (1%) of the outstanding
securities of the issuer of the same class) manage, operate, join, control, finance or participate
in the ownership, management, operation, control or financing of, or be connected as an officer,
director, partner, principal, agent, representative, consultant or otherwise with, or authorize his
name to be used in any Annual Report, Quarterly Report, Private Placement Memorandum, or other
securities offering materials or advertisement of, or solicit or attempt to solicit business on
behalf of, any person, business or enterprise which is engaged in pharmaceutical research and development, clinical trials, marketing or sales of a product in competition with, or
otherwise competes with Progenics or its affiliates, other than the existing arrangements, if any,
listed in Exhibit A without the express prior written consent of Progenics; provided, however, that
with regard to activities of the Consultant, this Section 3 shall not be deemed to apply to any
agreement or understanding permitted under paragraph 4(c).
2
4. Confidentiality.
(a) Disclosure By Consultant to ABI. The Consultant shall disclose fully and promptly
to ABI all Developments and Ideas which are developed, conceived, reduced to practice or learned by
the Consultant solely or jointly with others, at any time during the term of this Agreement and for
a period of twelve (12) months thereafter. The Consultant will make and maintain written records
of the aforesaid Developments and Ideas and submit promptly the same, and make supplemental oral
disclosure, to ABI. The term “Developments and Ideas” means any and all intellectual and
physical work product having actual or potential value to ABI whether or not patentable or
copyrightable, including inventions, whether or not tested or reduced to practice, discoveries,
improvements, ideas, conceptions, processes, developments, designs, business plans, trade secrets,
mask works, know-how and tangible expressions, computer software, systems, programs or procedures,
which are developed, conceived, reduced to practice or learned by employees or consultants of ABI
solely or jointly with others, which (a) results from, or is suggested by, work which is performed
for ABI or which is funded in whole or in part by ABI, or (b) results from any use of premises,
equipment or property (tangible or intangible) owned, leased, licensed or contracted for by ABI.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Developments and Ideas shall not include any invention or
idea which is provided to the Consultant by another commercial entity with which the Consultant is
involved on terms consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Disclosure of ABI or Progenics Information to Consultant. In providing
consulting services to ABI pursuant to this Agreement, the Consultant may acquire Proprietary
Information. The Consultant agrees not to disclose any Proprietary Information to third parties or
to use any Proprietary Information for any purpose other than performance of consulting services
pursuant to this Agreement, without prior written consent of ABI or Progenics, as the case may be.
As used herein, the term “Proprietary Information” shall include Developments and Ideas as
well as other information that pertains to the products, processes, equipment, programs,
developments, agreements or plans of ABI, Progenics or third parties who have provided such
information to ABI or Progenics, and that is both (i) disclosed or made known by ABI or Progenics
to the Consultant and (ii) identified as “proprietary” by ABI or Progenics at any time.
Proprietary Information does not include information that: (a) is or later becomes available to
the public through no breach of this Agreement by the Consultant; (b) is obtained by the Consultant
from a third party who had the legal right to disclose the information to the Consultant; (c) is
already in the possession of the Consultant on the date this Agreement becomes effective; or, (d)
is required to be disclosed by law, government regulation, or court order. The Consultant also
agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any person without ABI’s prior written
consent in each instance (which will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, the Consultant may
disclose this Agreement to MSKCC and to his financial and legal advisors and as may be required by
law.
(c) Other Activities of Consultant. The Consultant agrees that he will not enter
into or renew any agreement or undertake any major new projects with another commercial entity
which involve a conflict in activities or time commitments with the business or proposed business
of ABI, other than the existing arrangements listed in Exhibit A hereto, except with the prior
written approval of the Board of Directors of ABI, which will not be unreasonably withheld. The
Consultant will provide ABI as requested from time to time with an update about his activities with
other entities. ABI shall have the right to require the Consultant to terminate any
3
relationship
or project which in the reasonable opinion of ABI’s Board of Directors creates a product or time
conflict. Failure of the Consultant to terminate any such relationship shall be considered “Cause”
for termination of the Consultant. However, this provision shall not apply to Consultant’s
obligations to, or research on behalf of, MSKCC, including, without limitation, obligations or
research of Consultant in connection with a transfer by MSKCC of materials or intellectual property
developed in whole or in part by Consultant, or in connection with MSKCC research collaborations.
5. Return of Materials.
The Consultant agrees promptly to return, following the termination of this Agreement or upon
earlier request by ABI, all drawings, tracings, data, records, apparatus, physical property and
written materials in the Consultant’s possession and which are (i) supplied by ABI in conjunction
with the Consultant’s consulting services under this Agreement or (ii) generated by the Consultant
in the performance of consulting services under this Agreement and not generated in the course of
Consultant’s activities as an employee of MSKCC.
6. Intellectual Property.
The Consultant hereby assigns to ABI any and all right, title, and interest he may have in any
Developments and Ideas (as defined in paragraph 4a) developed during the term of this Agreement.
Any intellectual property assignable to ABI pursuant to the preceding sentence is hereinafter
referred to as “ABI Intellectual Property”. Upon the request of ABI, the Consultant shall
execute such further assignments, documents, and other instruments as may be necessary to assign
ABI Intellectual Property to ABI and to assist ABI in applying for, obtaining and enforcing patents
or other rights in the United States and in any foreign country with respect to any ABI
Intellectual Property. ABI will bear the cost of preparation of all patent or other applications
and assignments, and the cost of obtaining and enforcing all patents and other rights to ABI
Intellectual Property.
7. Term and Termination.
(a) Unless terminated earlier under paragraph 7(b), below, this Agreement shall be for a term
of seven (7) years commencing as of January 1, 1994.
(b) Without limiting any rights which either party to this Agreement may have by reason of
any default by the other party,
(i) the Consultant may terminate this Agreement:
(x) voluntarily without Good Reason upon forty-five (45) days written
notice to ABI; or
&
nbsp;(y) voluntarily with Good Reason upon fifteen (15) days written notice to
ABI.
4
(ii) ABI may terminate this Agreement:
(x) without Cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Consultant;
or
(y) with Cause upon seven (7) days written notice to the Consultant.
(z) or due to a Disability
As used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Good Reason” shall mean a material breach by ABI or Progenics of its respective
obligations to the Consultant where such material breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days
after ABI receives written notice of the alleged material breach.
“Cause” shall mean and include (a) that the Consultant has committed willful
misconduct against ABI (including, but not limited to acts such as embezzlement, willful disclosure
of Proprietary Information to a third party without ABI’s knowledge or consent) which results in
material harm to ABI, (b) that the Consultant, in carrying out his duties to ABI as an employee,
consultant, or director, has been guilty of willful misconduct or gross negligence resulting in
either case in material harm to ABI (this provision shall not apply to any particular instance
which is merely the result of any good faith error in judgment), (c) the willful and continued
failure by or inability of the Consultant to substantially perform his duties with ABI under this
Agreement (other than as a result of a disability), which is not cured within 30 days after a
demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Consultant by the Board of Directors which
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that the Consultant has
not substantially performed his duties, (d) the conviction of the Consultant of a felonious crime,
but not a misdemeanor, involving moral turpitude, and (e) any other act, action, or inaction of a
serious nature constituting misconduct or negligence that constitutes “cause” under applicable law.
A termination which would otherwise be a voluntary termination by the Consultant shall not be
considered a voluntary termination under this Agreement if the Consultant could be terminated by
the Company for Cause once any applicable cure period has lapsed; in such a case such termination
shall be deemed to have been for Cause.
“Disability” or “Disabled” shall mean at any time (a) a condition which (i)
constitutes a disability as defined from time to time in the long-term disability income insurance
policy, if any, provided by the Company or ABI for its senior executives, without regard to any
waiting periods or (ii) if at such time no such policy is provided to ABI employees, such terms
shall mean that the Consultant is prevented by illness, accident or other disability (mental or
physical) from discharging the material duties under his Consultant Agreement, and (b) such
condition continues for three (3) consecutive months or one or more periods totaling six (6) months
during any consecutive twelve (12) month period.
(c) Termination of this Agreement under paragraph 7(a) or 7(b), above, shall not affect the
Consultant’s continuing obligations to ABI under paragraphs 3,4,5 and 6 above.
5
(d) If this Agreement is terminated, Consultant shall be entitled solely to the prorated
portion of the cash compensation (under Section 2) payable up to the date of termination and the
Consultant’s option(s) shall be subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in the Consultant’s
Stock Option Agreement. The Consultant specifically agrees that ABI may offset against amounts it
may owe to the Consultant any debts or liabilities which the Consultant may from time to time owe
to ABI.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective heirs,
executors, successors, representatives, and assigns of the parties, as the case may be; provided,
however, the obligations hereunder of Consultant are personal and may not be assigned without the
express written consent of ABI. This Agreement may not be assigned by ABI without the consent of
Consultant, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) The relationship created by this Agreement shall be that of independent contractor, and
the Consultant shall have no authority to bind or act as agent for ABI or its employees for any
purpose.
(c) Progenics may identify Consultant as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board in
materials describing ABI. Progenics shall not otherwise use Consultant’s name in publicity,
advertising, or securities offering materials without the prior written approval of Consultant,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d) Notice or payments given by one party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and
deemed to have been properly given or paid if deposited with the United States Postal Service,
registered or certified mail, addressed as follows:
Company: | Active Biotherapies, Inc. 000 Xxx Xxx Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 |
Consultant: | Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx, M.D., Ph.D. 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxx. 0X Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 |
(e) This Agreement replaces all previous agreements and the discussions relating to the
subject matters hereof and, together with the stock option agreement and any other related
agreements being executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, constitutes the entire
agreement between ABI and the Consultant with respect to the subject matters of this Agreement.
This Agreement may not be modified in any respect by any verbal statement, representation, or
agreement made by any employee, officer, or representative of ABI, or by any written documents
unless it is signed by an officer of ABI and by the Consultant. ABI and Consultant acknowledge
that any amendment of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any extension of this
Agreement or any change from the terms of paragraph 2 in the consideration to be provided to
Consultant with respect to services to be provided hereunder) or any departure from the terms or
conditions hereof with respect to Consultant’s consulting services for ABI is subject to MSKCC’s
prior written approval.
6
(f) In the event that any or any part of the terms, conditions or provisions contained in
this Agreement shall be determined invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such terms,
conditions or provisions shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which
shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(g) ABI shall defend and indemnify the Consultant in his capacity as Consultant, director or
officer against any claims, judgments, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Claims”) arising out of, based upon or related to the Consultant’s
performance of services hereunder, except to the extent that such Claim arises out of Consultant’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent Progenics carries liability insurance for
its officers and directors, Progenics will carry, or cause ABI to carry, such insurance for the
officers and directors of ABI in amounts and on terms comparable to that obtained by Progenics for
its officers and directors. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit any rights which
ABI may have against Consultant.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective the date first stated
above.
