WHEREAS, Employee and PRIMA desire to enter into an employment agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions in this Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, the mutual and several covenants and agreements and the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

  1. Employment.

1.1    PRIMA hereby employs Employee and Employee hereby accepts employment by PRIMA under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for a term commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until terminated as provided for in Section 4 (Employment At Will). The term during which Employee is employed under this Agreement shall be referred to herein as the “Employment Period”.

1.2    Employee shall have the title and shall perform the responsibilities and duties of the Senior Vice President, Cvac Program. The Employee shall be responsible for the development and commercialization of the Cvac Program on a global basis, and carry out such responsibilities and duties as are customarily commensurate with such position, as well as any additional duties and responsibilities as directed by PRIMA. Employee will be given such executive and administrative powers and authority as may be needed to carry out those duties. Employee’s responsibilities and duties shall be determined by and may be changed from time to time as deemed appropriate by the Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), or other executive officers of Prima BioMed Ltd.

1.3    Employee’s primary location of work will be her home office in Oregon; however, Employee shall be prepared to travel extensively and perform her duties at any location globally, as needed.

1


1.4    Employee’s employment shall be full-time and exclusive. During the Employment Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, render any services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person, whether for compensation or otherwise, without Employee’s prior written notification to PRIMA, five (5) business days after which PRIMA shall be deemed to have not objected to such activity.

1.5    Employee represents that the execution of this Agreement and performance of Employee’s duties hereunder do not conflict with or result in a breach or a default under any agreement, contract or instrument to which Employee is a party or by which Employee is bound.

1.6    Employee shall comply with all reasonable and lawful policies and procedures of PRIMA, and those of its affiliates.

 

  2. Restrictive Covenants (“Covenants”).

2.1    Confidentiality. Employee acknowledges that, during the course of her employment with PRIMA, she will have access to confidential information and biological materials not generally known outside PRIMA (whether conceived or developed by Employee or others) and confidential information and biological materials entrusted to PRIMA by third parties, including, without limitation, trade secrets, techniques, formulae, biological materials, marketing and other business plans, data, strategies and forecasts (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Any Confidential Information conceived or developed by Employee during employment will be the exclusive property of PRIMA. Except as may be necessary in connection with PRIMA’s business, Employee will not (during or after her employment with PRIMA) disclose Confidential Information to any third person, firm or entity or use Confidential Information for her own purposes or for the benefit or any third person, firm or entity. In her work for PRIMA, Employee will refrain from unauthorized use or disclosure of information and biological materials owned by former employers or other third parties. This Section 2.1 shall survive this Agreement.

2.2    Inventions. Employee will promptly disclose to PRIMA any discoveries, inventions, formulae and techniques, whether or not patentable, made, conceived or first reduced to practice by the Employee, either alone or together with others, during her employment with PRIMA (collectively, the “Inventions”). Employee hereby assigns to PRIMA all of her right, title and interest in and to any Inventions. Employee will execute such documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by PRIMA (at the PRIMA’s expense) to enable PRIMA to apply for, obtain, maintain and enforce patents on any of the Inventions or to facilitate the transfer or assignment of any of PRIMA’s rights with respect to the Inventions and patents. This Section 2.2 shall survive this Agreement for three (3) years.

2.3    Noncompetition. Employee acknowledges that her duties hereunder and the services she will provide to PRIMA are of a special, unique, unusual and extraordinary character, which gives this Agreement particular value to PRIMA, and that it would be difficult to employ any individual or individuals to replace Employee in the performance of such duties and services. Therefore, during employment and for a period of six (6) months after the termination of her employment with PRIMA, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, enter into, organize, control, engage in, be employed by, serve as a consultant to, be an officer or director of or

 

2


have any direct or indirect investment in any business, person, partnership, association, firm or corporation engaged in any business activity (including, but not limited to, research, development, manufacturing, selling, leasing, licensing or providing services) which is competitive with the business and/or scientific activities that PRIMA is developing or exploiting during Employee’s employment with PRIMA. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent Employee from owning at any time, directly or indirectly, as much as 5% of any class of equity securities issued by any corporation or other entity which are publicly traded. In the event that the Employee is terminated by PRIMA without Cause (as defined in Section 4.2), this noncompetition restriction shall terminate upon the termination of the Employment Period.

2.4    Non-solicitation. The Employee hereby covenants and agrees that during employment and for a period of six (6) months after the termination of her employment with PRIMA, regardless of Cause, she shall not, directly or indirectly, on her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit, or attempt to solicit, or hire, or retain as a consultant, any person who is then, an employee of or consultant to PRIMA, or persuade or attempt to persuade any employee of or consultant to PRIMA to leave the employ of PRIMA or to become employed as an employee or retained as a consultant by anyone other than the PRIMA.

2.5    PRIMA and Employee agree and stipulate that the agreements and Covenants of Employee as set out above in this Section 2 are fair and reasonably necessary for the protection of the business, goodwill, trade secrets and other protectable interests of PRIMA in light of all of the facts and circumstances of the relationship between Employee and PRIMA.

2.6    Employee agrees that, in the event Employee breaches or threatens to breach any one, some or all of the Covenants, PRIMA shall be entitled to both a preliminary or permanent injunction to prevent the continuation of such harm. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit PRIMA from also pursuing any other remedies, the parties having agreed that all remedies shall be cumulative, including but not limited to the cancellation of any interests, rights or ownership in PRIMA without consideration. The existence of any claim, demand, action or cause of action by Employee against PRIMA, whether predicted upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by PRIMA of any of its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its rights to enforce the Covenants.

2.7    If any portion of the Covenants and agreements contained herein, or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, then the other portions of such Covenants or agreements, or the application thereof, shall not be affected and shall be given full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable provision. If any court or agency shall determine that the scope, duration or geographical limits of any Covenants contained in this Section 2 are unenforceable, it is the intention of the parties that the Covenants set forth therein shall not thereby be terminated, but shall be deemed amended to the extent required by such court and/or agency to render it valid and enforceable.
