 Personal Services Agreement 
 By and Between Stephan Targan, M.D. and

 This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is effective as of the
15th day of July, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) by
and between Stephan Targan, M.D. with offices at 240 22nd
Street, Santa Monica, CA 904021 (hereinafter referred to

This Agreement will set forth the general terms of our agreement whereby Consultant will provide to the Company the consulting services
as described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Consulting Services”). 
 1. Engagement. Company hereby engages
Consultant to provide personal consulting services to the Company as described in Exhibit A on a part-time basis. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Consultant’s right to provide services to any other businesses or institutions except as
provided in paragraph 5 below. 
 2. Compensation. In consideration for the Consulting Services, the Company will
pay the Consultant the fees as specified in Exhibit A. Such fees shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the performance of services upon satisfactory evidence of the provision of such Consulting Services. Consultant shall provide a
detailed statement of Consulting Services provided in the form set out in Exhibit B attached hereto no later than the tenth (10th) day of each month for Consulting Services provided by Consultant during the immediately preceding month. For a
period of five (5) years after expiration or termination of this Agreement, Company shall have the right to conduct an audit of Consultant, reasonable in duration and scope, to the extent reasonably useful to Company to audit the Consulting
Services, fees paid and expenses reimbursed hereunder. 
 3. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Consultant for
all reasonable travel and other expenses directly related to Consultant’s performance under this Agreement provided that (a) such expenses in excess of $1,500 dollars have been approved in writing, in advance of being incurred, by an
officer of the Company and (b) such expenses are of a nature (and adequate documentary evidence has been provided) qualifying them as proper deductions on federal and state income tax returns of the Company.

party to this agreement, the Tax Payer ID number and the name of the payee on any payment for services rendered under this agreement must be the same person or entity, e.g. If payment for Dr. Smith’s services will be made to

Dr. Smith or Dr. Smith’s physician’s practice group, this contract must be with that entity. Please note that physicians may not direct payments for services to be made by Prometheus for Services provided hereunder to any
charitable or other entity but must receive the payments as income themselves and then may make any such donations themselves.

re-negotiate the terms of this Agreement or enter into a new agreement for the Services or any other consulting work until the expiration of the Term. In the event of a material breach of the Agreement by either party, the other party may terminate
this Agreement upon providing the breaching party with written notice of the breach and ten (10) days prior written notice of termination, provided that if the breaching party cures said breach within ten (10) days, this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect. 
 5. Absence of Conflicts. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant
is not under any existing obligation that is inconsistent with this Agreement or that would restrict or conflict with the performance of Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement. Consultant agrees not to enter into any agreement or
arrangement during the term of this Agreement that would impose on Consultant any obligation inconsistent with this Agreement or that would restrict or conflict with the performance of Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement. If

notify the Company of such obligation, specifying the nature of such disclosure or action and identifying the applicable guideline or policy under which disclosure or action is required, prior to making such disclosure or taking such action.
