This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) made and entered into as of the 17th day of March, 2008, by and between InNexus Biotechnology, Inc.(the “Company”), a Canadian corporation, and Wade F. Brooksby (the “Executive”);
WHEREAS, the Company desires to secure the long-term employment of the Executive as its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;
WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to commit himself to be employed by the Company on the terms and conditions herein set forth and thus to forego opportunities elsewhere; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, as of the Effective Date, as hereinafter defined, setting forth the terms and conditions for the employment relationship of the Executive with the Company during the Employment Period (as hereinafter defined).
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, and the covenants and agreements set forth below, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Employment and Term.
(a) Employment. The Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement during the term hereof (as described below).
(b) Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of February 16, 2008 (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for a period of three years or until terminated in accordance with Section 4 hereof (the “Employment Period”).
2. Duties of Executive.
(a) The Executive shall serve as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and shall report to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and to duly constituted committees of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Executive shall perform such duties and services pertaining to such position as reasonably directed by the President and CEO with the duties and authority of officers holding comparable positions in similar businesses of similar size in the United States. The Executive shall have management responsibility in connection with the selection, retention and termination of Company employees and outside consultants, contractors, professionals and service providers, subject to the overall authority of the President and CEO. The Executive shall use his best efforts to carry out such responsibilities faithfully and efficiently. The Executive’s services shall be performed primarily at the Company’s headquarters located at the Mayo Clinic “MCCRB” Research Facility in Scottsdale, Arizona.
(b) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time, energy and best efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. The Executive may not engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business, investment or activity that interferes with the Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder, is contrary to the interests of the Company, or requires any significant portion of the Executive’s business time. It shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for the Executive to serve on corporate, industry, civic or charitable boards or committees, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. The Executive may serve on boards of directors of up to two non-competing for-profit businesses which do not materially interfere with his duties hereunder.

 

 


 

3. Compensation.
(a) Salary. The Executive’s annual base salary (the “Annual Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices shall be at the annual rate of $275,470. The Board shall review such base salary at least annually and may from time to time direct such upward adjustments in Annual Base Salary as the Board deems to be necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, adjustments in order to reflect surveys of compensation for comparable positions at other companies. The Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any increase thereof. Any increase in the Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation of the Company under this Agreement.
(b) Incentive Compensation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus under an incentive plan to be developed by the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Incentive Plan”). Such bonuses will be payable upon the achievement of performance goals determined in advance by mutual agreement of the President and CEO and the Executive. The target opportunity under the Incentive Plan is to be calculated at fifty percent (50%) of the Annual Base Salary. Written performance goals under the Incentive Plan shall be determined within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each fiscal year.
(c) On December 20, 2007, the Company Board of Directors approved by resolution a special bonus compensation package to the CEO in recognition of his success in obtaining a $35.5 million financial commitment from Royalty Pharma. On March 17, 2008, the Company shareholders approved the CEO bonus compensation package. The Company will compensate the Executive for his role in helping the CEO obtain the Royalty Pharma commitment by paying bonus compensation equal to one third of the bonus compensation amounts paid to the CEO. The terms and conditions for the Executive bonus compensation package will be the same as for the CEO.
(d) Retirement and Welfare Benefit Plans. In addition to the compensation under this Section, during the Employment Period and for so long as the Executive is employed by the Company, he shall be immediately eligible to participate in all other savings, retirement and welfare plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to employees and/or senior executive officers of the Company in accordance with the terms of such plans, all on a basis no less favorable than for any other senior executive of the Company. The Company reserves the right to modify, eliminate or add to its retirement and welfare benefit plans, practices and policies at any time in its sole discretion.
(e) Stock options. The Company shall grant the Executive 275,470 stock options of Company common stock on the Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”). The options shall vest ratably over the eighteen months following the Effective Date, provided that Executive remains employed by the Company on such dates. In addition, the Company shall grant the Executive options for not less than 275,470 shares of the Company’s common stock on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Effective Date. For purposes of this Section, the “Grant Date” will be the “Effective Date” of this agreement and on the “first, second and third anniversary” of the Effective Date. The options shall vest ratably over the eighteen months following the Grant Date, provided that Executive remains employed by the Company on such dates, subject to any limitations under the Option Plan. Option grants following the first, second and third anniversary of the Effective Date shall be made in the discretion of the Board. The exercise price for each option granted pursuant to this Section shall equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date.

 

 


 

(f) Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses, including those for travel and entertainment and for the use of his vehicle, including payment of vehicle lease, properly incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder, subject to any reasonable policies established from time to time by the Board.
(g) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period and so long as the Executive is employed by the Company, he shall be entitled to receive vacation and fringe benefits in accordance with Company plans, practices, programs and policies, commensurate with his position, which benefits shall be at least the same as those received by any senior executive officer of the Company; provided, however, the Company reserves the right to modify, eliminate or add to its fringe benefits at any time in its sole discretion. For purposes of the Company’s sick leave policy, medical and life insurance benefits and participation in retirement programs, the Executive’s years of service will be calculated beginning June 1, 2005.
(h) Continuing Education Benefit. During the Employment Period and for thirty (30) months following termination of employment by the Company with or without cause or by the Executive, the Company will sponsor the Executive in the Stanford Business School’s Advanced Management Program (AMP) or a program of the Executive’s choice equivalent or better than AMP and shall be entitled to receive full reimbursement, within ten (10) days of payment by Executive for all tuition, supplies, travel and related costs and expenses.

5. Suspension of Employment.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, suspend the Executive with pay for any act or omission that may otherwise constitute a basis for termination of this Agreement by the Company, or that is otherwise in violation of the Company’s policies, practices, procedures, rules or regulations and/or this Agreement. Such suspension may be in lieu of termination or as an interim action pending a final decision by the Company as to whether termination of the Executive’s employment is appropriate.
6. Obligations of the Company upon Termination.
(a) Obligations upon Termination by the Company or the Executive. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment shall terminate for any reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount in cash equal to the sum of (A) the Executive’s salary at the rate of the Annual Base Salary earned through the date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (B) any earned but unpaid annual cash bonus or other incentive award, and (C) accrued but unpaid vacation pay.

In the event of Termination by the Company without cause, in addition to the amounts and benefits set out in Section 6(a), the Company shall pay to the Executive (A) Annual Base Salary and annual cash bonus described in Section 3 of this Agreement at the target level payable monthly for thirty-six (36) months following the termination date; (B) a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the annual cash bonus described in Section 3(b) of this Agreement at the target level for year that includes the termination date multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of such year to and including the termination date and the denominator of which shall be 365, which calculation shall be based on the terms of the Company’s incentive compensation plan, providing that all performance goals in effect on the termination date have been met at the target level for such year, such amount to be paid within 10 days of such termination date; (C) executive level career transition assistance services by a firm designated by the Executive (up to a maximum of $10,000); (D) full vesting of any unvested stock options with such options to be exercisable for the remaining term of the option or one year from the termination date, whichever occurs first; (E) full vesting of any shares of restricted stock and/or warrants and elimination of any restrictions, and (F) continuation of medical benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have been provided had the Executive remained employed for thirty-six months after the termination date, such benefits to be in accordance with the most favorable medical benefit plans, practices, programs or policies of the Company as in effect and applicable to any senior executive officer of the Company and his or her family immediately preceding the termination date, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes employed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical benefits under another employer-provided plan, the benefits under the Company’s medical benefits plans shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility.

 

 


 

(c) Termination Following a Change of Control. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or the Executive terminates his employment within 24 months of a change of control of the Company, or if Executive voluntarily terminates his employment within the 30-day period commencing on the first anniversary of a change of control of the Company, in addition to any amounts that Executive is entitled to receive under Section 6(a) and in lieu of any amounts Executive would been entitled to receive under Section 6(b), Executive shall receive: (A) the Applicable Percentage (as defined below) of his Annual Base Salary and annual cash bonus described in Section 3 of this Agreement at target level payable in an immediate single lump sum payment; (B) a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the annual cash bonus described in Section 3 of this Agreement at target level for the calendar year that includes the date of Termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of such calendar year to and including the date of termination and the denominator of which shall be 365, which calculation shall be based on the terms of the Company’s incentive compensation plans, assuming that all performance goals in effect on the date of termination have been met at the target level for such year, such amount to be paid within 10 days of such termination date; (C) continued medical benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family for thirty-six (36) months, such benefits to be in accordance with the most favorable medical benefit plans, practices, programs or policies of the Company as in effect and applicable to any senior executive officer of the Company and his or her family immediately preceding the termination date, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes employed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical benefits under another employer-provided plan, the benefits under the Company’s health insurance plans shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility; (D) executive level career transition assistance services by a firm designated by the Executive (up to a maximum of $10,000); (E) full vesting of any unvested stock options with such options to be exercisable for the remaining term of the stock options or one year from the termination date, whichever occurs first; and (F) full vesting of all stock options, shares of restricted stock and/or warrants and elimination of any restrictions.

A “change of control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that any one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:
(i) Except as provided herein, any person and/or entity (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities and Exchange Act 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d) thereof) (a “Person”) is or becomes the beneficial owner (as such term is described in Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates, other than in connection with the acquisition by the Company or its affiliates of a business, representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of either the then outstanding shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

 

 


 

(ii) The consummation (i.e., closing) of an agreement in which the Company agrees to merge or consolidate with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, greater than twenty percent (20%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates, other than in connection with the acquisition by the Company or its affiliates of a business) representing twenty percent (20%) or more of either the then outstanding shares of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or
(iii) The consummation of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, greater than forty percent (40%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by Persons in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change of control of the Company shall not be deemed to have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.
7. Non exclusivity of Rights.
Except as provided in Section 6 and the last sentence of this Section, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit to which the Executive has waived his rights in writing), nor, except as provided in Sections 6 and 17(d), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any benefit, plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefits payable upon Termination hereunder shall be in lieu of any severance pay or benefits under any other severance plan, policy or practice of the Company.

 

 


 

8. Indemnification.
The Company shall indemnify the Executive pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and the articles of incorporation. In addition, the Company shall maintain directors and officers’ liability insurance coverage of not less than $15,000,000 covering the Executive during the term of employment and thereafter, so long as the Company elects to continue such coverage for its active officers and directors. Failure by the Company to maintain not less than $15,000,000 directors and officers’ insurance will constitute a material breach under this Agreement.
9. Confidential Information.
The Executive agrees not to disclose during the term hereof or thereafter any of the Company’s confidential or trade secret information, except as required by law. The Executive recognizes that the Executive shall be employed in a sensitive position in which, as a result of a relationship of trust and confidence, the Executive will have access to trade secrets and other highly confidential and sensitive information. The Executive further recognizes that the knowledge and information acquired by the Executive concerning the Company’s intellectual property, materials regarding employer/employee contracts, customers, pricing schedules, advertising and interviewing techniques, manuals, systems, procedures and forms represent the most vital part of the Company’s business and constitute by their very nature, trade secrets and confidential knowledge and information. The Executive hereby stipulates and agrees that all such information and materials shall be considered trade secrets and confidential information. If it is at any time determined that any of the information or materials identified in this paragraph 9 are, in whole or in part, not entitled to protection as trade secrets, they shall nevertheless be considered and treated as confidential information in the same manner as trade secrets, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Executive further agrees that all such trade secrets or other confidential information, and any copy, extract or summary thereof, whether originated or prepared by or for the Executive or otherwise coming into the Executive’s knowledge, possession, custody, or control, shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Company.
10. Conflict of Interest.
The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of the Company and to do no act which would injure the Company’s business, its interests or its reputation. It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities, which interest might in any way adversely affect the Company or any of its affiliates, involves a possible conflict of interest. In keeping with the Executive’s fiduciary duty to the Company, the Executive agrees that he shall not knowingly become involved in a conflict of interest with the Company affiliates, or upon discovery there of, allow such a conflict to continue. Moreover, the Executive agrees that he shall disclose to the Board any facts which might involve such a conflict of interest that has not been approved by the Board. The Executive and the Company recognize that it is impossible to provide an exhaustive list of actions or interests which constitute a conflict of interest. Moreover, the Executive and the Company recognize there are many borderline situations. In some instances, full disclosure of facts by the Executive to the Board may be all that is necessary to enable the Executive, the Company or its affiliates to protect its interests. In other situations, if no improper motivation appears to exist and the interests of the Company or its affiliates have not suffered damage, prompt elimination of the outside interest will suffice. In still others, it may be necessary for the Company to terminate the employment relationship. The Company and the Executive agree that the Company’s determination as to whether a conflict of interest exists shall be conclusive. The Company reserves the right to take such action as, in its judgment, will end the conflict.

 

 


 

11. Non solicitation.
During the period of his business affiliation with, or employment by, the Company and for a period of two years after the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason whatsoever, the Executive will not directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or as employee, officer, director, stockholder, partner or other owner or participant in any business entity other than the Company, solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company, or otherwise materially interfere with the business relationship of the Company with, (i) any person who is, or was within the 12-month period immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s business affiliation with or employment by the Company, employed by or associated with the Company or (ii) any person or entity who is, or was within the 12-month period immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s business affiliation with or employment by the Company, a customer or client of the Company.
12. Assignment by Executive Barred.
(a) Assignment by Executive. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives. Without the prior written consent of the Executive, no assignment of this Agreement by the Company or any successor of the Company shall relieve the assignor of its financial responsibility for performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder.
13. Successors and Assigns of Company.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns.
14. Disputes.
(a) Arbitration. The Company and the Executive agree that if a dispute arises out of or is related to this Agreement or Executive’s employment by the Company, such dispute shall, if not earlier resolved by negotiations of the parties, be submitted to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator under the American Arbitration Association National Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes in Maricopa County, Arizona. Either party may provide written notice to the other party that the dispute is not able to be resolved by negotiation and such notifying party shall then contact the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator to resolve such dispute. Attorneys’ fees and costs shall be awarded to the prevailing party as determined by the arbitrator.
(b) Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as provided in Section 6, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.
