NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. | Employment. |
1.1 Employee’s title and duties as employee are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Employee shall perform such duties subject to the direction, supervision, and performance review of the Board of Directors of the Company.
1.2 Employee represents and warrants to the Company that this Agreement does not violate or breach, and Employee’s performance of Employee’s obligations hereunder will not violate or breach, any terms or provisions of any agreement or understanding to which Employee is subject or bound. Employee represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that Employee will not during Employee’s employment by the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any other party, and will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any other party unless consented to in writing by said party.
1.3 Employee represents that Employee has not been debarred or received notice of any action or threat with respect to a debarment under the provisions of the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992, 21 U.S.C. § 335(a). Employee agrees promptly to notify the Company upon receipt of any such notice and further agrees, upon the Company’s request, to provide a separate written certification, on a form provided by the Company, to such effect.
2. | Term of Employment. |
2.1 Subject to the terms and provisions set forth below in this Section 2, the term of Employee’s employment will begin on June 15, 2004. Employee’s employment hereunder shall be at will. Employee’s employment can be terminated by Employee or by the Company with or without advance notice, at any time, and for any reason not prohibited by law.
2.2 Employee’s employment hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the death of Employee.
2.3 Employee agrees to abide by the policies, procedures, and guidelines contained in the Company employee handbook, to be presented to Employee at his/her start date. The content of this handbook shall be reviewed and updated by the Company management on a regular basis.
2.4 The Company may terminate the employment of Employee under this Agreement in the event of Employee’s disability. “Disability” means the inability of Employee to perform those duties and responsibilities which are the essential functions of Employee’s position for a period of 90 consecutive calendar days due to illness, accident or any other physical or mental incapacity.
2.5 The Company may immediately terminate Employee’s employment hereunder for Cause upon notice of termination to Employee with such Cause being specified in such notice. As used herein, “Cause” shall mean (a) Employee’s act or acts amounting to gross negligence or moral turpitude which are detrimental to the Company; (b) Employee’s fraud or embezzlement of funds or property; (c) Employee’s conviction of or pleading guilty to a felony not involving traffic or administrative sanctions; (d) Employee’s failure to observe or perform any material covenant, condition, or provision of this Agreement or of the Company’s written policies, and when such failure is capable of remedy, such failure is not remedied within five business days after notice of such failure is given to Employee by the Company; or (e) Employee’s performance of substantial and continued business services for any other person or entity without the prior written consent of the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Employee shall specify any existing business services for other persons or entities (Exhibit D) and under no circumstances shall the performance of such business services for any other person or entity take precedence or priority over conducting and completing work on behalf of the Company in a timely manner.
2.6 In the event Employee is terminated without Cause (involuntarily or voluntarily) or voluntarily for Good Reason within 18 months following a Change in Control of the Company, the Company or its successor-in-interest shall (i) accelerate the vesting of all stock options granted to Employee by Company, including those granted after the date of this Agreement; and (ii) pay to Employee a lump sum severance package equal to one and one-half (1.5x) times Employees current annual Base Salary, plus the amount of employee benefits that would otherwise be payable on Employee’s behalf prior to the expiration of the term of employment hereof; and (iii) salary, bonus, and benefits continuation for one year. Change in Control means any transaction including a merger or other reorganization of the Company or acquisition of the Company’s shares, if the holder’s of Company’s voting stock owns less than 50% of the voting stock of the purchaser or surviving entity. Change in Control also includes a sale of substantially all the Company’s assets. Good Reason means a reduction in Employee’s overall level of responsibility, requiring Employee to report to anyone other than the Board of Directors, or the elimination of any of Employee’s current principal duties. Employee’s continued employment shall in no regards constitute his waiver of his right to terminate for Good Reason.
2.7 If Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a Change of Control or after 18 months following a Change of Control, the Company or its successor- in-interest shall (i) vest 12 months of stock options granted to Employee by Company, including those granted after the date of this Agreement and (ii) pay to Employee Base Salary, bonus, and benefits continuation for one year from the date of written Notice by the Company or its
Pharmasset, Inc. | Page 2 of 15 | CONFIDENTIAL | ||
P. S. Price |
successor- in-interest. For clarity compensation due with regards to this section 2.7 shall not be payable in the event compensation is due under 2.6 above.
2.8 Upon termination of employment, all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to any payment due under Section 2.6 or 2.7 above, reimbursement of expenses to which the Employee would have been entitled under this Agreement, and any benefits to which Employee would have been entitled upon termination pursuant to any benefit plan.
3. | Compensation. |
3.1 For all services which Employee renders to the Company, Employee shall receive from the Company a monthly base salary (the “Base Salary”) of US$25,000.00 based upon full-time employment. The Base Salary will be reviewed by the Board of Directors on an annual basis, on or about June of each year. Future compensation adjustments will be based upon merit, productivity, performance, and your accomplishments on behalf of the Company.
3.2 Subject to evaluation and approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, and in addition to Employee’s Base Salary, Pharmasset will offer Employee a performance bonus of thirty percent (30%) of Employee’s annual Base Salary, for which Employee will be eligible for a full bonus twelve months from the Effective Date of this Agreement. The performance objectives will be developed and approved by Board of Directors prior to the commencement of Employee’s employment and appended to this Agreement at such time as they are finalized, but in no event later than 60 days following the date of this Agreement.
3.3 The Company may, at its sole discretion, establish additional performance-based equity incentive or bonus programs in which Employee will participate.
3.4 In a separate agreement, the Company shall grant to Employee a to be determined combination of qualified and non-qualified common stock options equivalent to four percent (4.0%) of the fully-diluted outstanding shares of the Company following the close of the Series D financing. For your information, the Company currently has 14,883,593 fully diluted shares outstanding and anticipates approximately 23,384,583 fully diluted shares outstanding after the closing of the Series D round of financing.
3.5 In addition, you will be eligible for on-going annual grants of stock options.
3.6 The options will be granted to you pursuant to the Company’s 1998 Stock Plan (as amended in 2004).
3.7 The strike price for these stock options will be at the current fair market value for the Company’s common stock as of the completion of the Series D financing. The Company’s common stock is not publicly traded. As a result, in valuing the Company’s common stock, the Company considers the pricing of private equity sales, company specific events, independent valuations, economic trends and the rights and preferences of the security being valued. At present, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is in the process of establishing
Pharmasset, Inc. | Page 3 of 15 | CONFIDENTIAL | ||
P. S. Price |
a new fair market value for its common stock. It anticipates the common stock will be priced at a discount to the Preferred D shares of approximately forty percent (40%). The ultimate determination of the discount will be made upon consultation with the Compensation Committee according to the process described below. These options will vest pursuant to a four (4) year vesting schedule, with 12/48ths vesting upon the first anniversary of the Effective date, and 3/48ths vesting quarterly thereafter.
3.8 Upon commencement of Employee’s employment, Employee will be responsible for having an analysis completed on the post Series D valuation of the Company’s common stock and make a recommendation to the Compensation Committee for their approval and Board approval. At that time, Employee will also present an analysis of the impact to the Company for issuing qualified and non-qualified stock. In this analysis, Employee will also present a recommendation for the allocation of Employee’s stock option grant between qualified and non-qualified options. As Employee will be an employee of the Company, the Company anticipates that the Employee will present a fair and balanced recommendation on both of these issues, keeping in mind the precedent being set for future recruitment and the potential financial disclosure of these decisions in an S-1.
3.9 Upon the Company’s successful completion of an IPO while under Employee’s leadership, Employee will be granted an additional 100,000 non-qualified common stock options at a strike price equal to the IPO price. These options will be fully vested at the time of their grant.

Details regarding vacation, sick, and holiday pay are set forth in and governed by the Company’s employee handbook.
4.3 Employee shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Employee in Employee’s performance of Employee’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. Prior to receiving such reimbursement, Employee shall submit documentation and receipts for such expenses in sufficient detail for deduction by the Company as an expense.
4.4 In order to facilitate Employee’s permanent relocation to the Atlanta metropolitan area, the Company will provide Employee with the relocation benefits as described on Exhibit C attached. For any amounts reimbursable to Employee, the Company must receive proper documentation of such amounts prior to reimbursement. In the event Employee voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company prior to June 14, 2005, Employee shall repay the Company any amount expended under Exhibit C attached within one hundred and eighty day (180) days of Employee’s new employment with another company according to the following schedule:
