For purposes of this Agreement, “Contract Year” is defined as a period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months beginning on July 1, 2011, or any anniversary thereof, and ending on the last day of the twelfth month thereafter.

3. Duties.

(a) Description. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall serve as Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Medical Officer of Immunomedics and shall perform such duties in these roles, which are commensurate with Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x expertise, experience, roles fulfilled within the Company, and professional standing and the needs of the Company from time to time, as the Board of Directors of Immunomedics (the “Board”), in consultation with Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, may determine from time to time. The Board may assign specific duties to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx after a review of Immunomedics’ needs. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will report directly to the Board throughout the Term of this Agreement. Immunomedics reserves the right, subject to Section 10(f) below, to modify, but not diminish, the nature and scope of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x duties to meet the Company’s changing needs, provided that such duties and level of authority shall remain commensurate with Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x expertise, experience and professional standing. If elected to such positions, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx may serve as a member of the Board, and as an executive officer and director of any subsidiary or affiliate of or successor to Immunomedics and, in the Board’s discretion, may be paid additional, reasonable compensation for such services.

(b) Best Efforts. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall faithfully, industriously and to the best of his ability, experience and talents, perform all of the duties contemplated by this Agreement and in accordance with his fiduciary duties as an officer and director of the Company.

(c) Extent of Duties. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall devote such time to Immunomedics as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the duties contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, Immunomedics acknowledges and authorizes Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx to perform the following roles and to dedicate the time necessary to perform such roles, the scope of which Immunomedics acknowledges and agrees does not materially interfere with his performance of duties directly for Immunomedics:

(i) To serve as a member of the Board of Trustees of and to be employed (including without limitation as the President and/or Chief Executive Officer) by the Center for Molecular Medicine and Immunology (a/k/a Garden State Cancer Center) or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or any non-profit substitute entity (collectively the “Center”), provided, that any such subsidiary, affiliate, successor or non-profit substitute entity agrees to undertake all of the obligations of the Center pursuant to any existing or future license, proprietary rights or other equivalent agreement between Immunomedics and the Center.

(ii) To serve as a member of the Board of Directors of and to be employed (including without limitation as an executive officer) by the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, IBC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“IBC”).

Immunomedics acknowledges that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall be entitled to spend such time as is necessary to fulfill his duties for the Center and IBC, provided that such duties do not materially interfere with his ability to perform any of his obligations under this Agreement. Such activity on behalf of the Center, and his activity on behalf of IBC to the extent consistent with the provisions hereof, shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Any salary, fees or other income paid by the Center and IBC to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx in his respective capacity in each such entity shall be the property of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx and shall not diminish the compensation due him hereunder.

4.1. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. In consideration for services rendered by Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx pursuant to this Agreement, Immunomedics will pay Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx a base salary at the rate of Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($525,000.00) per Contract Year, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll procedures (the “Base Salary”). The Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) will review Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x Base Salary annually for appropriate increases, pursuant to the Company’s standard performance review policies for senior level executives.

(b) Annual Bonus. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Xx.

The Company reserves the right to amend or rescind its Incentive Plan at any time in its discretion, but will provide Xx.

In connection with his participation in the Incentive Plan, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will be eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus, as determined by the Compensation Committee, based on its assessment of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x individual performance and the Company’s overall performance. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x Annual Bonus Target is 50% of Base Salary, with a potential Bonus ranging from 0 to 150% of the Annual Bonus Target, conditional upon his achievement of performance goals as the Compensation Committee may establish and determine. The Compensation Committee will determine the amount of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x discretionary annual bonus, if any, as of the end of each fiscal year during the Term of this Agreement, and shall pay such Bonus as soon as practicable after such determination, but in no event later than 2.5 months after the end of each fiscal year, subject to the termination provisions contained in Section 10 of this Agreement.

(c) Equity Compensation. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Xx.

Nothing in this section shall impact or affect any equity compensation awards Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx may have received at any earlier time during his Term of Employment.

4.2. Additional Incentive Compensation. In recognition of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x past and future integral involvement in and contribution to all aspects of Immunomedics’ scientific and creative activities, the Company shall make the following payments to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx as additional incentive compensation (“Additional Incentive Compensation”).

(a) The Additional Incentive Compensation payments to which Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is entitled include:

(i) Transactional Payments; Net Revenue Payments. With respect to any fiscal year during the Term of the Agreement in which Immunomedics records an annual net loss (determined by Immunomedics in a manner consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the entire fiscal year as audited by Immunomedics’ independent registered public accounting firm), Immunomedics will pay to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx a sum equal to three quarters of one percent (.75%) of the total Consideration the Company receives from any third party transaction, excluding third party financing transactions and any Disposition of Undeveloped Assets. With respect to any fiscal year during the Term of the Agreement in which Immunomedics records positive net income (determined by Immunomedics in a manner consistent with GAAP) for the entire fiscal year as audited by Immunomedics’ independent registered public accounting firm, Immunomedics will pay to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx a sum equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of Immunomedics’ Annual Net Revenue (as defined in Section 4.2(d)) for each such fiscal year (unless Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment terminates pursuant to Sections 10(a) or 10(e)), and thereafter throughout the non-competition period (as defined in Section 9(b)); and

(ii) Patent Lifetime Royalty Payments. Immunomedics will pay to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx for each full fiscal year of the Company, a sum equal to a percentage of the annual Product Royalties the Company receives each such fiscal year on each of the products for which Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is an Inventor, and all products using, related to or derived from products for which Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is an Inventor (“Patented Products”), which payments shall continue for each Patented Product for the remaining Life of the Patent covering each Patented Product (collectively “Patent Lifetime Royalty Payments”). The percentage of Product Royalties that Immunomedics will pay to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx on each Patented Product will be determined based on the percentage of Product Royalties that Immunomedics must pay to external third parties (any party other than a wholly owned subsidiary of Immunomedics) on each Patented Product, as follows:

(A) One percent (1%) of annual Product Royalties on Patented Products for which the Company pays a Royalty of more than 9.0 % to external third parties;

(B) One and one-half percent (1.5%) of annual Product Royalties on Patented Products for which the Company pays a Royalty of more than 6.0 % through 9.0 % to external third parties;

(C) Two percent (2%) of annual Product Royalties on Patented Products for which the Company pays a Royalty of more than 3.0% through 6.0 % to external third parties; or

(D) Three percent (3%) of annual Product Royalties on Patented Products for which the Company pays a Royalty of 3.0% or less to external third parties.

Patent Lifetime Royalty Payments under Section 4.2(a)(ii) shall be due and owing from Immunomedics to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx (or his estate or designated beneficiaries) throughout the Life of each Patent both during his employment with the Company and after his employment terminates, except that Lifetime Royalty Payments shall not be payable in the event an arbitrator or court finds that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx committed a material breach of his covenants contained in Section 9. During the Term of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment with Immunomedics only, any

quarterly payment of Patent Lifetime Royalty Payments calculated under this Section 4.2(a)(ii) will be paid to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx (or his estate or designated beneficiaries) only to the extent that such Patent Lifetime Royalty Payments exceed the quarterly Minimum Payment paid to him pursuant to Section 4.2(c).

(b) Payments Upon Disposition of Undeveloped Assets. In the event the Company, with its Board’s approval, completes a Disposition during the Term of Employment, or within three (3) years thereafter, of any one or more of Immunomedics’ Undeveloped Assets for which Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx was an Inventor, Immunomedics will pay Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx (or his estate or designated beneficiaries) a sum equal to at least twenty percent (20%), or more (as determined by the Board), of the Consideration Immunomedics receives from each Disposition, upon receipt; provided, however that no such payment shall be due in the event an arbitrator or court finds that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx committed a material breach of his covenants contained in Section 9. Subject to the preceding conditions, the Company’s obligation to compensate Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx (or his estate or designated beneficiaries) under this provision, if any, applies to all Dispositions completed within the Term of Employment or within three (3) years thereafter, even if the Company actually receives the Consideration at some time after the three (3) year period elapses.

(c) Minimum Payment. Immunomedics agrees to make a minimum payment of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx during each of Immunomedics’ fiscal years during the Term of this Agreement, payable in equal quarterly payments, as an advance against the amounts due to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx pursuant to Section 4.2(a) and (b) above. This minimum payment shall be prorated for any partial fiscal year of Immunomedics or partial year of service of Xx.

Xxxxxxxxxx with a written report that includes a preliminary computation (based upon unaudited financials) of Net Revenue, of Product Royalties, and of royalties on Patented Products (computed for such quarter in the same manner as Annual Net Revenue or annual Product Royalties is to be computed for a fiscal year) and Disposition Payments (if any), and all amounts due to Xx.

Xxxxxxxxxx will not at any time reveal to any person or entity any of the trade secrets or confidential information of Immunomedics, or of any third party, which Immunomedics is under an obligation to keep confidential (including but not limited to trade secrets and non-public information regarding inventions, products, designs, methods, know-how, techniques, systems, processes, software programs, works of authorship, customer lists, projects, intellectual property, plans and proposals) (“Confidential Information”), except as may be required in the ordinary course of performing Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x duties as an employee of Immunomedics or for the benefit of Immunomedics, with the Company’s knowledge and consent. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will keep secret all matters entrusted to him and not use or attempt to use any Confidential Information in any manner which may injure or cause direct or indirect loss to Immunomedics.

(ii) Confidential Information shall not include (and the above restrictions shall not apply to): (A) information that at the time of disclosure is in the public domain through no fault of Xx.

Xxxxxxxxxx receives from a third party outside of Immunomedics that was disclosed without a breach of any confidentiality obligation; (C) information approved for release by written authorization of Immunomedics; or (D) information that may be required by law or an order of any court, agency or proceeding to be disclosed. In the event that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is requested or required by law or an order of any court, agency or proceeding to disclose Confidential Information, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will provide Immunomedics with prompt notice of such request so that Immunomedics may timely seek an appropriate protective order or waive Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x confidentiality obligations under this Agreement. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will provide reasonable assistance to Immunomedics in the event the Company notifies him that it intends to seek to obtain an appropriate protective order. If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx gives such notice to Immunomedics, but does not receive timely notice of either a protective order or a waiver from the Company and, in the written or oral opinion of his legal counsel (the reasonable fee for which opinion shall be paid or reimbursed by Immunomedics), Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is compelled to disclose Confidential Information or face liability for contempt or other censure or penalty, then Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent so required, without violating this provision or incurring any liability under the Agreement.

(iii) Return of Company Property. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx agrees that upon the termination of his employment with Immunomedics, regardless of the timing or reason for termination, he will not take or retain, without written authorization, any documents, files or other property of Immunomedics. Except as provided in this Agreement, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will return promptly to Immunomedics any such documents, files or property in his possession or custody, including any copies thereof maintained in any medium or format. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx recognizes that all documents, files and property containing Confidential Information which he has received and will receive from Immunomedics, including but not limited to scientific research, customer lists, handbooks, memoranda, product specifications, and other materials are for the exclusive use of Immunomedics and its employees while working on behalf of Immunomedics, and that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx has no claim or right to the continued use, possession or custody of such documents, files or property following the termination of his employment.

Notwithstanding this provision, Immunomedics acknowledges and agrees that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx may retain all working documents that he determines he may need with regard to any patent(s) he is preparing for filing, pursuing, or prosecuting on behalf of Immunomedics. Immunomedics further acknowledges and agrees that any materials created prior to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment by Immunomedics, and any materials created in connection with his employment with the Center or IBC (“Non-proprietary Materials”) are not the property of Immunomedics, and all materials that are generally available to the public and/or in the public domain (“Public Materials”), are not the exclusive property of Immunomedics. Immunomedics further agrees that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx may retain possession of all Non-Proprietary Materials and may retain copies of all Public Materials, at all times following the end of his employment.

(b) Non-Competition. Throughout the Term of Employment and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will not, without the prior written approval of the Board, whether alone or as a partner, officer, director, consultant, agent, employee or stockholder of any company or other commercial enterprise, directly or indirectly engage in any business or other activity in the United States or Canada which competes with Immunomedics. The foregoing prohibition shall not prevent Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment or

engagement following his Term of Employment, with any company or business organization, as long as the activities of any such employment or engagement, in any capacity, do not involve work on matters related to the products being researched, developed, manufactured, or marketed by Immunomedics during the Term of Employment. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall be permitted to own securities of a public company not in excess of five percent (5%) of any class of such securities and to own stock, partnership interests or other securities of any entity not in excess of five percent (5%) of any class of such securities, and to own any amount of interest in the Center, Immunomedics, and/or in IBC (or a subsidiary or affiliate of same), and such ownership taken alone shall not be considered to be in competition with Immunomedics or a violation of this Agreement.

(c) Non-Solicitation. Throughout the Term of Employment and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx agrees that he will not:

(i) directly or indirectly solicit, entice or induce any Immunomedics’ customer to become a customer of any other person, firm or corporation with respect to products then sold or under development by Immunomedics, or to cease doing business with Immunomedics, and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall not approach any such person, firm or corporation for such purpose or authorize or knowingly approve the taking of such actions by any other person; or

(ii) directly or indirectly solicit or recruit any employee of Immunomedics to work for a third party other than Immunomedics (excluding the Center and excluding newspaper or similar print or electronic solicitations of general circulation); provided, however, that the otherwise applicable non-solicitation period shall not be reduced in the event of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x termination for Cause or the cessation of Severance Payments as a result of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x violation of his obligations under this Section 9.

(d) Enforcement.

(i) Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the type and periods of restrictions imposed in this Section 9 of this Agreement are fair and reasonable, and that such restrictions are intended solely to protect the legitimate interests of Immunomedics, rather than to prevent Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx from earning a livelihood. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx recognizes that Immunomedics competes worldwide, and that his access to Confidential Information makes it necessary for Immunomedics to restrict his post-employment activities in any market in which Immunomedics competes, and in which his access to Confidential Information and other proprietary information could be used to the detriment of Immunomedics.

(ii) Injunctive Relief. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that if he breaches any of the covenants, restrictions and agreements contained in this Section 9, Immunomedics will suffer irreparable loss and injury, and that damages arising out of such a breach may be difficult to ascertain. Therefore, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx agrees that, in addition to all other remedies provided at law or at equity, Immunomedics shall be entitled to have the covenants, restrictions and agreements contained in this Section 9 specifically enforced (including, without limitation, by temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctions and restraining orders) by any state or federal court in the State of New Jersey having equity jurisdiction and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx agrees to be subject to the jurisdiction of such court.

(iii) Monetary Relief. In addition to its right to seek an injunction, in the event Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx breaches any provision of this Section 9, Immunomedics also shall have the right to pursue monetary damages against Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx for such breach.

(iv) If either party fails to take action to remedy any breach of this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement by the other party, such inaction shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either party of the same or any other provision, agreement or covenant.

(v) Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the payments and benefits to be provided to him under this Agreement are provided, in part, as consideration for the covenants in this Section 9.

(vi) In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction or any arbitration determines that any restriction contained in this Agreement is overly broad with respect to scope, time or geographical coverage, the parties agree that such restriction(s) may be modified and narrowed, either by a court, arbitrator, or by Immunomedics only to the extent necessary to make this provision enforceable, and that such determination will not affect the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

(e) Exclusions Relating to the Center. Immunomedics and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx agree that any work that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx performs for or on behalf of the Center and/or any of its affiliates, and any documents or other

confidential information or materials developed, assembled, or received while performing such work, are not subject to the provisions of this Section 9, and that any such work will not constitute a violation of the terms of this Agreement.

10. Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 above, the employment of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall terminate upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) The death of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx.

(b) Immunomedics and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx mutually agree to terminate this Agreement.

(c) At Immunomedics’ option, if Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx suffers a Permanent Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall be deemed to have incurred a “Permanent Disability” if, by reason of his physical or mental medical condition, as determined by a physician jointly designated by Immunomedics and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, he is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement for a period of (i) 180 consecutive days, or (ii) 245 days in any 365 consecutive days period. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will not be deemed Permanently Disabled if he submits a written opinion by a physician designated by or reasonably satisfactory to Immunomedics stating that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will be able to resume continuous full-time performance of his obligations under this Agreement within 365 days following the commencement of such disability and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx actually returns to full-time work within the same 365 day period. In the event Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx and Immunomedics cannot agree upon a physician to determine whether Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is suffering a Permanent Disability, they each may select a physician and the two physicians so selected will jointly select a third physician, who will examine Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx to determine whether he is suffering a Permanent Disability, and will provide a written report of his/her conclusions all parties.

(d) By Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason is defined as occurrence of any of the following events or conditions, unless Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx has expressly consented in writing thereto, or except as a result of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x physical or mental incapacity or as described in the last sentence of this subsection (d):

(i) A material reduction in Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x Base Salary;

(ii) The material diminution of the Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x duties, responsibilities, powers or authorities, including the assignment of any duties and responsibilities inconsistent with his position as Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Medical Officer of Immunomedics; or

(iii) Immunomedics requires that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x principal office location be moved to a location more than 50 miles from his principal office location immediately before the change.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall not have Good Reason for termination unless he gives written notice of termination for Good Reason within 15 days after the event giving rise to Good Reason occurs and Immunomedics does not correct the action or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for Good Reason, as set forth in Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x notice of termination, within 30 days after the date on which he gives written notice of termination and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx actually resigns from employment upon the expiration of the foregoing cure period. In the event of a cure of such event or condition constituting Good Reason by the Company, such event or condition shall no longer constitute Good Reason.

(e) By the Company, for “Good Cause,” which means:

(i) Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx commits continued, knowing and intentional neglect, substantial nonperformance or a demonstrated continuing inability to perform his obligations under this Agreement (other than due to physical or mental disability) and Immunomedics provides him with written notice of such deficiencies and ninety (90) days to correct such deficiencies; or

(ii) An arbitrator or a court finds that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx committed an act of fraud or dishonesty related to the performance of duties under this Agreement; or

(iii) Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx commits any material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement other than those covered under Sections 10(e)(i) or 10(e)(ii), and fails to cure such breach within ninety (90) days after receiving written notice from Immunomedics of such breach.

(f) By Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Immunomedics or its successor, to be effective not later than the second anniversary of a Change in Control of Immunomedics. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control of Immunomedics is defined as:

(i) A merger, consolidation or reorganization approved by the Company’s stockholders, unless securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total and combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the successor corporation are immediately thereafter beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who beneficially owned the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction; or

(ii) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, occurring within a 12-month period, and representing, at a minimum, not less than 40 percent of the total gross fair market value of all assets of the Company, to any person, entity, or group of persons acting in consort, other than a sale, transfer or disposition to: (A) a shareholder of the Company in exchange for or with respect to its stock; (B) an entity, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; (C) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company; or (D) an entity, at least 50 percent of the total value or voting power of which is owned by a person described in (C); or

(iii) Any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which any person or any group of persons comprising a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (other than the Company or a person that, prior to such transaction or series of related transactions, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Company) becomes directly or indirectly the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities possessing (or convertible into or exercisable for securities possessing) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after the consummation of such transaction or series of related transactions, whether such transaction involves a direct issuance from the Company or the acquisition of outstanding securities held by one or more of the Company’s stockholders; or

(iv) A change in the composition of the Board over a period of twelve (12) consecutive months or less such that a majority of the Board members ceases by reason of one or more contested elections for Board membership to be comprised of individuals whose election is endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board immediately before the date of election.

A transaction shall not constitute a Change of Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

(g) Except as provided in Sections 10(a), 10(c) or 10(e)(ii), with respect to death, Permanent Disability and fraud/dishonesty, respectively, termination by either party hereunder shall be effective upon the effective date of notice of such termination by the terminating party to the other party specifying the reasons, if any, for such termination.

(h) The foregoing provisions of this Section 10 notwithstanding, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will not be deemed to have had a termination of employment prior to the date as of which Immunomedics and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx reasonably anticipate that the level of future services to be provided by Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx to Immunomedics, whether as an employee or an independent contractor, will permanently decrease to a level which is less than fifty (50) percent of the average level of services provided over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) months.

11. Decisions and Determinations of the Board. Neither Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx nor any of his affiliates shall participate in any decision by the Board, or any Board committee, which affects any of his rights or obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all actions of the Board provided for in this Agreement, including but not limited to determinations, consents and approvals, shall be in the Board’s sole and uncontrolled discretion.

12. Cooperation with Immunomedics After Expiration or Termination. Following the end of the Term of Employment, regardless of timing or cause, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will cooperate fully with Immunomedics in all matters relating to the winding up of work on behalf of Immunomedics and the orderly transfer of any pending work to other employees of Immunomedics. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx agrees to be available and to provide services on a full-time or part-time basis, as Immunomedics may request, during the first thirty (30) calendar days following the end of his employment. In consideration for the Patent Lifetime Royalty Payments set out in Section 4.2(a)(ii) of this Agreement, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx specifically agrees to provide to Immunomedics all assistance reasonably necessary to

assist Immunomedics in defending and prosecuting any patents in force. This obligation will continue for the life of the patent, provided Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is medically able to provide such assistance. Nothing herein shall limit Immunomedics’ obligation to pay, and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x or his estate’s right to receive, the Additional Incentive Compensation, Patent Lifetime Royalty Payments and Disposition Payments under Sections 4.2(a)(ii) and 4.2(b) of this Agreement, for the specified periods or throughout the Life of the Patents, as the case may be.

13. Payment and Benefits on Termination or Expiration.

(a) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(b) Guaranteed Payments. Not later than sixty (60) days following the termination of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment, regardless of the reason or timing of the termination, Immunomedics will make payment to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx for all annual Base Salary, Bonus, Minimum Payments, and Additional Incentive Compensation earned through the date of termination, any benefits accrued in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company (including but not limited to earned but unused vacation), and will continue all payments pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(ii) and 4.2(b) for the time periods provided in those sections of this Agreement (collectively, “Guaranteed Payments”). There are no preconditions to Immunomedics’ obligation to pay, and to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x right to receive, Guaranteed Payments under this Section 13(b) of this Agreement.

(i) If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment terminates pursuant to Section 10(a) (death), in addition to receiving the Guaranteed Payments, his estate will receive a Severance Payment equal to the amount of the Annual Target Bonus, if any, (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) payable for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs (prorated to reflect Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x actual period of service during such fiscal year), such amount to be paid within sixty (60) days following the date of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x death.

(ii) If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment terminates by mutual agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 10(b) (mutual agreement), 10(c) (permanent disability) or pursuant to expiration as set forth in Section 2, in addition to receiving the Guaranteed Payments, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will receive payment for the Annual Target Bonus, if any, (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) payable for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs (prorated to reflect Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x actual period of service during such fiscal year), such amount to be paid within sixty (60) days following the date of termination of employment, and any other benefits or payments to which the parties may agree.

(iii) If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment terminates for Good Cause pursuant to Section 10(e), the only post-termination payment or benefit he will receive is the Guaranteed Payments.

(iv) If Immunomedics terminates Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment without Good Cause (as defined in Section 10(e)), or if Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 10(d), in addition to the Guaranteed Payments, Immunomedics will pay Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx a Xxxxxxxxx payment, paid in a lump sum, in an amount equal to three times (3x) his Total Annual Compensation (as such exists as of the date of termination), such lump sum to be paid within sixty (60) days following the date of termination of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment. “Total Annual Compensation” shall include all cash payments due to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx for the applicable Contract Year as set out in Sections 4.1(a) and (b), 4.2(a)(i), and 4.2(c), but shall not include payments provided pursuant to Sections 4.2(a)(ii) and 4.2(b) (which shall continue pursuant to the terms of those Sections).

(A) In the event Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment terminates as provided in Section 13(c)(iv), for a period of two (2) years following the date of termination of employment (the “Severance Period”), the Company will, to the extent permitted under the Code, continue to provide to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx all of the benefits of his employment, as if he remained employed, as set out in Section 5(c), except that Immunomedics shall, during the Severance Period , pay Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx each month an amount equal to the monthly COBRA medical insurance cost under Immunomedics’ medical plan for Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx and any eligible dependent(s) (less any required employee payments calculated as if Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx had continued to be an employee), and all other employee benefits pursuant to Section 5(c) which are subject to COBRA. Throughout the Severance Period, in the event Immunomedics requests that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx provide services to Immunomedics, then Immunomedics will pay for the reasonable cost of an office and administrative assistant support for Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, and all reasonable expenses to set up and maintain such office (including telephone, fax and Internet access, office supplies and

equipment, furniture, etc.), at a reasonable location of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x choice, but only to the extent such office, administrative assistant support and related expenses are necessary for Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx to adequately provide such services.

(v) If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx terminates his employment following a Change in Control pursuant to Section 10(f), in addition to the Guaranteed Payments, Immunomedics will pay Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the date of his termination of employment, a Severance payment in an amount equal to three times (3x) his Total Annual Compensation, as previously defined above, (as such exists as of the date of termination).

(A) In the event Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment terminates as provided in Section 13(c)(v), for or a period of three (3) years following the date of termination of employment (the “Enhanced Severance Period”), the Company or its successor, as the case may be, will, to the extent permitted under the Code, continue to provide to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx all of the benefits of his employment, as if he remained employed, as set out in Section 5(c), except that Immunomedics shall, during the Enhanced Severance Period, pay Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx each month an amount equal to the monthly COBRA medical insurance cost under Immunomedics’ medical plan for Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx and any eligible dependent(s) (less any required employee payments calculated as if Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx had continued to be an employee), and all other employee benefits pursuant to Section 5(c) which are subject to COBRA. Throughout the Enhanced Severance Period, in the event Immunomedics requests that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx provide services to Immunomedics, then Immunomedics will pay for the reasonable cost of an office and administrative assistant support for Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, and all reasonable expenses to set up and maintain such office (including telephone, fax and Internet access, office supplies and equipment, furniture, etc.), at a reasonable location of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x choice, but only to the extent such office, administrative assistant support and related expenses are necessary for Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx to adequately provide such services.

(d) In the event Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx should expire during either Severance Period, Immunomedics will continue to make all Severance Cash Payments to his estate through the end of the Severance Period, continue to pay his estate a monthly amount for the cost of medical coverage for Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x eligible dependents in accordance with Sections 13(c)(iv)(A) or 13(c)(v)(A), as applicable, and will continue to pay all Patent Lifetime Royalty Payments under Section 4.2(a)(ii) for the Life of each Patent.

(e) Specific Issues in the Event of a Change in Control (regardless of whether Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx terminates his employment):

(i) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan or any applicable plan, program or agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, all stock options, restricted stock and other equity rights held by Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx will become fully vested and/or exercisable, as the case may be, on the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and all stock options held by Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx shall remain exercisable, notwithstanding anything in any other agreement governing such options, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the end of the remaining balance of the Term of the Agreement; provided, however, that in no event will the option be exercisable (a) beyond its original term; or (b) beyond the extension period permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

(ii) Notwithstanding any vesting provision to the contrary in any applicable plan, program or agreement providing for supplemental retirement benefits or deferred compensation, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x accrued benefit under such plans, programs or agreements shall become fully vested on the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x accrued benefit shall be immediately payable on Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x date of termination, unless Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx has made a valid election under such plan, program or agreement to defer payment of such accrued benefits or Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x accrued benefit constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and the terms of the applicable plan, program or agreement provides otherwise with respect to the timing of payment of the accrued benefit.

(f) Required Postponement for Specified Executives.

(i) If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is considered a Specified Executive (as defined below) and payment of any amounts under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, payment of such amounts shall be delayed as required by Section 409A, and the accumulated postponed amounts, with accrued interest as described below, shall be paid in a lump sum payment within five days after the end of the six month period. If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts postponed on account of Section 409A, with accrued interest as described in subsection (b) below, shall be paid to the personal representative of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x estate within 60 days after the date of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x death.

(ii) If payment of any amounts under this Agreement is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 13(f)(i), the Company shall pay interest on the postponed payments from the date on which the amounts otherwise would have been paid to the date on which such amounts are paid at an annual rate equal to the rate published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” as of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x date of termination.

(iii) The term “Specified Executive” means an employee who, at any time during the 12-month period ending on the identification date (defined below), is (i) an officer of the Company or a member of its controlled group (as determined for purposes of section 416(i) of the Code) who has annual compensation greater than $135,000 (or such other amount as may be in effect under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code), (ii) a 5% owner of the Company or (iii) a 1% owner of the Company who has annual compensation greater than $150,000. The identification date shall be each December 31, and the determination of Specified Executives as of such identification date shall apply for the 12-month period following April 1 after the identification date. The determination of Specified Executives, including the number and identity of persons considered officers, shall be made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Sections 416(i) and 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

(g) Required Release. As a condition to receiving any Severance Payments under this Section (other than Guaranteed Payments, which are not subject to this condition), Immunomedics may require Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx to execute a written release of any and all claims against the Company and all related parties with respect to all matters arising out of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x employment by the Company, or the termination thereof (the “Release”) in a form provided by the Company but acceptable to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx. The Company hereby agrees that it will provide Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx with the form of release agreement on or within seven days after Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x separation from service and, to be entitled to any Severance Payments under this Section 13 (other than Guaranteed Payments, which are not subject to this condition), Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx must execute, and not revoke, it during the minimum time period permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.

Subject to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x execution and non-revocation of the Release, the Severance Payments (other than Guaranteed Payments, which are not subject to this condition) shall be paid or commence being paid within 60 days after Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x separation from service but not earlier than the date on which the Release becomes effective and not in contravention of any delay required by Section 13(f). If, however, the period during which Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx has discretion to execute and/or revoke the Release straddles two calendar years, the Severance Payments (other than Guaranteed Payments, which are not subject to this condition) shall not be paid or commence being paid, as applicable, before the beginning of the second of the two calendar years, regardless of within which calendar year Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx actually delivers the executed Release to the Company. Consistent with Section 409A, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx may not, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

Xxxxxxxxxx’x lifetime (or during a shorter time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other calendar year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Nothing herein shall be construed as having modified the time and form of payment of any amounts or payments of “deferred compensation” within the meaning section 409A of the Code that were otherwise payable pursuant to the terms of any agreement between Company and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx in effect on or after January 1, 2005 and prior to the date of this Agreement. If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx is considered a specified employee (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) and payment of any amounts under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to section 409A of the Code, payment of such amounts shall be delayed as required by section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated postponed amounts, with accrued interest as described below, shall be paid in a lump sum payment within five days after the end of the six month period. If Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts postponed on account of section 409A of the Code, with accrued interest as described below, shall be paid to the personal representative of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x estate within 60 days after the date of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x death. If payment of any amounts under this Agreement is required to be delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall pay interest on the postponed payments from the date on which the amounts otherwise would have been paid to the date on which such amounts are paid at an annual rate equal to the rate published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” as of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x date of termination.
