Dear Xxxxx:
On behalf of Radius Health, Inc. (the "Company"), with offices at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX, 00000, I am pleased to offer you full-time employment as the Chief Commercial Officer of the Company on the terms set forth below. This letter agreement is subject to, and will become effective only upon, your commencing employment with the Company on or about September 9, 2015.
In the course of your employment with the Company, you will be subject to and required to comply with all Company policies, and applicable laws and regulations. The term "Agreement" as used below shall mean this letter agreement.
Duties; Work Location
As Chief Commercial Officer, you will report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and will have such duties and authority as are normally associated with such position or as may from time to time be assigned to you by the Company's Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of Company or an authorized committee (the "Board"). The Company requires that, as a full-time employee, you devote your full business time, attention, skill, and efforts to the tasks and duties of your position with the Company. Your normal place of work will initially be the Company's offices in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area; however, your duties may require reasonable business travel as determined by the Chief Executive Officer. If you elect to relocate to the Company's Waltham, Massachusetts office after commencement of employment, the Company will make relocation assistance available to you in accordance with its policies .
Cash Compensation
You will earn a salary at the semi-monthly rate of $16,041.67, annualized at a rate of $385,000, or such greater amount as is subsequently determined by the Board (the "Annual Base Salary"). All compensation amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable tax and other withholdings.
In addition, subject to approval of the Board, you will be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus (your "Annual Bonus"), which Annual Bonus shall be targeted at 35% (your "Target") of your Annual Base Salary, subject to pro-ration during any year in which you are employed for less than the full year. Any Annual Bonus will be based on both individual and corporate performance and the amount of any such Annual Bonus will be determined by the Company. Annual Bonuses shall be paid to you when generally paid to other senior executives of the Company, subject to your continued employment through the payment date.
You will also be entitled to reimbursement of all business expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of your functions and duties under this Agreement, subject to the Company's expense reimbursement policy in effect from time to time.
Equity Incentives
On the date of the commencement of your employment with the Company (the "Employment Date"), the Company will grant to you a stock option (the "Option") under the Radius Health, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") for the purchase of 100,000 shares (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or other similar event) of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") at a price per share equal to the closing price for the Common Stock on the
NASDAQ Global Market (the "Stock Price") on the Employment Date. The Option shall be subject to all terms and other provisions set forth in the Plan and in a separate option agreement and will vest as to 25% of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of the Employment Date and in equal monthly installments over the following thirty-six (36) months.
On the Employment Date, the Company will issue you 25,000 Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") under the Plan. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock, subject to the terms of the Plan and the PSU award agreement. At any time prior to the third anniversary of the Employment Date, the shares subject to each PSU award will be earned as follows: (1) 5,000 shares will be earned if and when the average closing price of the Company's common stock measured over 45 consecutive trading days on the NASDAQ Global Market (the "Stock Price") exceeds $75 per share, (2) 10,000 shares will be earned if and when the Stock Price exceeds $100 per share and (3) 10,000 shares will be earned if and when the Stock Price exceeds $120 per share (subject in each case to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or other similar event). Any shares earned under the PSUs will be eligible to vest on the first anniversary of the date the shares were earned (even if such first anniversary date is after the third anniversary of the Employment Date), subject to your continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. The PSUs will in all cases be subject to the terms and other provisions set forth in the Plan and in a separate PSU award agreement.
Severance
On or prior to your commencing employment, you and the Company will enter into an executive severance agreement in substantially the form enclosed with this letter (the "Severance Agreement"), which agreement will govern the payments and benefits you may receive upon a termination of your employment with the Company. Except as otherwise provided in the Severance Agreement, the Company's obligations to you under this Agreement will cease upon your termination of employment for any reason.
Benefits
You will be eligible to participate in all of the employee benefits and benefit plans that the Company generally makes available to its similarly situated full-time regular employees, including group health plans, life, disability and AD&D insurances, a 401(k) plan with Company match, tuition reimbursement, and various types of paid time off, subject to the terms and conditions of such benefits and plans. You will be eligible to accrue up to 20 days of vacation (in addition to Company holidays), which will accrue over the first year of your employment and may be used with the advance approval of the Chief Executive Officer. The Company reserves the right to terminate, modify or add to its benefits and benefit plans at any time.
