<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">On January 4, 2013, Kyle Guse was appointed
as our Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Secretary. Mr. Guse will serve as the Company&rsquo;s principal accounting
and principal financial officer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Mr.&nbsp;Guse, age 49, brings to the Company
more than 20 years of experience counseling life sciences and other rapid growth companies through all aspects of finance, corporate
governance, securities laws and commercialization. Mr. Guse has practiced law at several of the largest international law firms,
including from January 2012 through January 2013 as a partner at Baker Botts LLP, prior to that, from October 2007 to January 2012,
as a partner at McDermott Will &amp; Emery LLP and previously as a partner at Heller Ehrman LLP. Mr. Guse began his career as an
accountant at Deloitte &amp; Touche and he is a licensed Certified Public Accountant in the state of California.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Mr.&nbsp;Guse earned a B.S. in Business
Administration, an M.B.A. from California State University, Sacramento, and a J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Mr.&nbsp;Guse has no family relationships
with any other executive officers or any directors of the Company, and has no arrangements or understandings with any other persons
(other than with our directors or officers acting solely in their capacities as such) pursuant to which he was selected as an officer.
There are no transactions in which Mr.&nbsp;Guse has an interest requiring disclosure under Item&nbsp;404(a) of Regulation S-K.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">In connection with
Mr.&nbsp;Guse&rsquo;s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Secretary, pursuant to his employment
agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Guse will receive an initial annual salary of $225,000 and will be eligible to receive an annual cash
bonus in an amount up to 40% of base salary. Mr. Guse will also receive a new hire and relocation bonus totaling $65,000
which is payable upon the Company completing a qualified capital raising transaction with gross proceeds to the Company of at
least $3,000,000 within twelve months of Mr. Guse&rsquo;s hire. On January 4, 2013, Mr. Guse was awarded an option to
purchase a total of 500,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $4.11 per share which was the closing price
of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on January 4, 2013, the date of Mr.&nbsp;Guse&rsquo;s commencement of
employment, with 95,000 of such shares being granted under our 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and 405,000 of such
shares being granted outside our 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan but subject to all of the terms and conditions of such
plan. The options will vest over a four-year period with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of Mr.&nbsp;Guse&rsquo;s
commencement of employment and the remainder vesting quarterly over the following three years. The options will expire 10
years from the date of grant. The employment agreement with Mr. Guse provides that upon termination without
&ldquo;cause&rdquo; or his resignation for &ldquo;good reason&rdquo; (as such terms are defined), Mr.&nbsp;Guse will be
eligible to receive a severance payment equal to his then-current annual base salary, payable over six months, a pro-rated
annual bonus and acceleration of vesting of 50% of his then unvested equity awards. In addition, in the event Mr.
Guse&rsquo;s employment is terminated without &ldquo;cause&rdquo; or he resigns for &ldquo;good reason&rdquo; within 12
months of a change of control, Mr. Guse will be eligible to receive a severance payment equal to two times his then current
base salary, payable in a lump sum, and acceleration of vesting of 100% of his then unvested equity awards.</P>

appointment, we also entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Guse, effective January 4, 2013, in the same form
as has previously been entered into with our other executive officers and directors. The Indemnification Agreement generally requires
us to indemnify Mr.&nbsp;Guse against liabilities incurred in the performance of his duties to us to the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law. Our standard form of Indemnification Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to our Amended Registration Statement
on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2012.</P>

consult to the Company on accounting matters on an as-needed basis.</P>
