September 8, 2020

Peter Pfreundschuh

Dear Peter:

This letter sets forth the substance of the separation agreement (the “Agreement”) that UroGen Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) is offering to you to aid in your employment transition, and in accordance with the Executive Employment Agreement between the Company and you, dated July 31, 2018 (the “Employment Agreement”).

1.    SEPARATION. Your employment termination date will be October 15, 2020 (the “Separation Date”). As of the Separation Date, you will also be deemed to have resigned from any other position or office you hold with the Company, UroGen Pharma, Ltd. (“Parent”), and any of their affiliates.

2.    ACCRUED SALARYAND PAID TIME OFF. On the next payroll date after the Separation Date, the Company will pay you all accrued salary, and all accrued and unused paid time off earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. You are entitled to these payments regardless of whether or not you sign this Agreement.

3.    SEVERANCE BENEFITS. Although the Company has no obligation to do so, if you: (i) sign and return this Agreement to the Company on or within twenty-one (21) days after the Separation Date; (ii) allow the releases contained herein to become effective; (iii) remain reasonably available after your Separation Date to answer any questions from the Company regarding your previous job duties; and (iv) comply with this Agreement and all of your legal and contractual obligations to the Company, then the Company will provide you with the following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”):

(a)    Severance Payment. The Company will pay you, as severance, an amount equivalent to six (6) months of your current base salary (in the gross amount of $224,347), subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings (the “Severance Payment”). The Severance Payment will be paid to you as a continuation on the Company’s regular payroll, beginning within ten (10) days after the Effective Date (as defined below).

(b)    Pro-Rata Bonus. You will be eligible to receive the equivalent of a nine (9) month pro rata portion of your current potential annual 50% target bonus for calendar year 2020 (the “Pro Rata Bonus”). The Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid only to the extent earned based on actual Company performance, with any individual performance component deemed achieved (for example, if the Company’s corporate goals for 2020 are deemed achieved at the 110% level, your Pro Rata Bonus will be $185,086.27 (1.1*9/12*.5*$448,694)). The Pro Rata Bonus will be paid to you, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings, on the date in the year following your termination on which bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than March 15 of such year.

(c)     Equity Acceleration. As summarized in Exhibit A to this Agreement, you were previously granted a total of 23,500 shares of restricted stock of Parent (collectively, the “RS”) and options to purchase a total of 80,000 ordinary shares of the Parent (collectively, the “Option”). Under the terms of the governing plan documents and Option and RS agreements, all vesting will cease as of the Separation Date. As an additional Severance Benefit, the vesting of each RS and Option grant shall accelerate such that the amount of each RS and Option that would have otherwise become vested as of April 15, 2021, shall become issuable or exercisable, respectively, as of the Separation Date. The vested amounts of each such RS and Option grant are set forth in Exhibit A, which you acknowledge and agree correctly sets forth all of your equity interests in the Company, Parent, or any affiliate. Also as an additional Severance Benefit, the post termination exercise period for your vested Options as of the Separation Date shall be extended to 180 days following the Separation Date.

(d)    Health Insurance. To the extent provided by the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies, you will be eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits at your own expense. Later, you may be able to convert to an individual policy through the provider of the Company’s health insurance, if you wish. If you timely elect continued coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay for the COBRA premiums to continue your health insurance coverage (including coverage for eligible dependents, if applicable) (“COBRA Premiums”) through the period (the “COBRA Premium Period”) starting on the Separation Date and ending on the earliest to occur of: (i) the six (6) month anniversary of the Separation Date; (ii) the date you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer; or (iii) the date you cease to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for any reason. You must timely pay your premiums, and then provide the Company with proof of same to obtain reimbursement for your COBRA premiums under this Section 3(d). In the event you become covered under another employer’s group health plan or otherwise cease to be eligible for COBRA during the COBRA Premium Period, you must immediately notify the Company of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums without a substantial risk of violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall pay you, on the first day of each calendar month, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premiums for that month for the remainder of the COBRA Premium Period, which you may (but are not obligated to) use toward the cost of COBRA premiums.

4.    OTHER COMPENSATIONOR BENEFITS. You acknowledge and agree that the Severance Benefits represent full and complete satisfaction of the benefits you may be eligible to receive pursuant to the Employment Agreement, any prior employment agreement or offer letter, or otherwise. You acknowledge that, except for your base salary and as expressly provided in this Agreement, you have not earned and will not receive from the Company any additional compensation (including bonus, incentive compensation, or equity), severance, or benefits before or after the Separation Date, with the exception of any vested right you may have under the express terms of a written ERISA-qualified benefit plan (e.g., 401(k) account).

5.    EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS. You agree that, within thirty (30) days after the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to its regular business practice.

6.    RETURNOF COMPANY PROPERTY. On or within five (5) days after the Separation Date, you will return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property in your possession or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, contact information, financial information, specifications, training materials, computer-recorded information, tangible property including, but not limited to, computers, credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof). You represent that you have made a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information within the required timeframe. In addition, if you have used any personally owned computer, server, e-mail system, mobile phone, portable electronic device (e.g., smartphone, iPad or the like), (collectively, “Personal Systems”) to receive, store, prepare or transmit any Company confidential or proprietary data, materials or information, then within five (5) days after the Separation Date, you will permanently delete and expunge all such Company confidential or proprietary information from such Personal Systems without retaining any copy or reproduction in any form (in whole or in part). The Company shall permit you to transfer from your work computer to a personal storage mechanism prior to the Separation Date your personal email folder, personal photos, music and video files, personal electronic files, and personal contact and calendar database, subject to reasonable review and approval of such transfers by the Company. You agree that, after the applicable timeframes noted above, you will neither use nor possess Company property. Your timely compliance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to your receipt of the Severance Benefits described above.

7.    CONFIDENTIALITY. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement (defined below) to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent you from disclosing the fact or terms of this Agreement as part of any government investigation, or prohibit you from filing a charge, complaint, or report with, or otherwise communicating with, providing information to, or cooperating, or participating with any investigation or proceeding by or before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the United States Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal, state or local government agency or commission.

8.    NO ADMISSIONS. You understand and agree that the promises and payments in consideration of this Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any liability or obligation by the Company to you or to any other person, and that the Company makes no such admission.
