not less than monthly. The Board or a committee of the Board shall review Executive’s performance on at least an annual

Targeted Annual Bonus Award, and will be based on a number of factors determined by the Board or a committee of the Board for

filings, commercialization and/or sales, and Executive’s individual




    2

Company at the Vice President level and above. Executive acknowledges that the amount of long-term incentive compensation, if
any, to be awarded shall be at the sole, good faith discretion of the Board or a committee of the Board, and will be based on
a number of factors determined by the Board or a committee of the Board for the applicable performance period, including the Company’s
performance in connection with, among other factors, the clinical program, regulatory filings, commercialization and/or sales,
and Executive’s individual performance. Any long-term incentive compensation earned for the applicable performance period

Granted Stock Options”). The stock options are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Plans
and in the stock option agreement(s) previously executed by the Company and Executive. Additional options or other equity compensation

for Executive entering into this Agreement, which RSUs will not vest in whole or in part until three (3) years after the Effective
Date, at which time the RSUs will fully and completely vest, subject to Executive’ continued employment with the Company
and the terms and conditions in the 2012 Plan and an award agreement to be entered into between the Company and Executive.

for Good Reason is given to the Company; provided that such a termination of employment shall not become effective if the Company

(c) 
 Release. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, as a
condition precedent to receiving any post-termination payments or benefits identified in Sections 3(b)(ii), 3(b)(iii)
and 3(b)(iv) of this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute (and not revoke) a full and complete release of all claims
against the Company and its affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (subject to such modifications as the Company
reasonably may request) (the “Release”). If Executive fails to execute and deliver to the Company the Release
within twenty-one (21) days following the date of termination, or revokes the Release, within seven (7) days following the date
Executive executes and delivers the Release, or materially breaches any term of this Agreement or any other agreement between
Executive and the Company while receiving such post-termination payments or benefits, Executive agrees that Executive shall not
be entitled to receive any such post-termination payments. For purposes of this Agreement, the Release shall be deemed to have
been executed by Executive if it is signed by Executive’s legal representative in the case of legal incompetence or on behalf
of Executive’s estate in the case of Executive’s death. Payment of any post-termination payments or benefits identified
in Sections 3(b)(ii), 3(b)(iii) and 3(b)(iv) of this Agreement shall be delayed until the first payroll
date occurring on or after the thirtieth (30th) day following the effective date of the termination of Executive’s
employment under this Agreement, and any payments that are so delayed shall be paid on the first payroll date occurring on or
after the thirtieth (30th) day following the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment under
this Agreement.


(d) 
Section 409A. Any payments made by the Company pursuant to Sections 3(b)(ii),
3(b)(iii) and 3(b)(iv) of this Agreement (except for unpaid annual short-term incentive compensation earned in the
calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the termination of Executive’s employment occurs, which shall
be paid to Executive when paid to other similarly situated executives of the Company) shall be paid or commence on the first payroll
date occurring on or after the thirtieth (30th) day following the effective date of Executive’s “separation
from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”). For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A to this Agreement, each separately
identified amount to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to
the extent permissible under Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right
to a series of separate payments. Executive shall receive no additional compensation following any termination except as provided
herein. In the event of any termination, Executive shall resign all positions with the Company and its subsidiaries. If Executive
is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then payments identified in Section 3(b) of this
Agreement shall not commence until six (6) months following “separation from service” within the meaning of Section
409A to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional twenty percent (20%) tax under Section 409A (and in the
case of installment payments, the first payment shall include all installment payments required by this subsection that otherwise
would have been made during such six-month period). If the payments described in Section 3(b) must be delayed for
six (6) months pursuant to the preceding sentence, Executive shall not be entitled to additional compensation to compensate for
such delay period. Upon the date such payment would otherwise commence, the Company shall reimburse Executive for such payments,
to the extent that such payments otherwise would have been paid by the Company had such payments commenced upon Executive’s
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 




    8 


     


    

 


Any
remaining payments shall be provided by the Company in accordance with the schedule and procedures specified herein. This Agreement
is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A with respect to amounts subject thereto, and shall be interpreted and
construed consistent with such intent. Any reimbursements by the Company to Executive of any eligible expenses under this Agreement
that are not excludable from Executive’s income for Federal income tax purposes (the “Taxable Reimbursements”)
shall be made by no later than the last day of the taxable year of Executive following the year in which the expense was incurred.
The amount of any Taxable Reimbursements, and the value of any in-kind benefits to be provided to Executive, during any taxable
year of Executive shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable
year of Executive. The right to Taxable Reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to Executive that the payments or
benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have
no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless Executive or any beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest
or penalties that Executive or any beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or
modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section
409A.


(e) 
Section 280G. 


(i) 
Certain Reductions in Agreement Payments. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event a nationally recognized independent accounting firm designated by the Company and reasonably acceptable
to Executive (the “Accounting Firm”) shall determine that receipt of all payments or distributions by the Company
and its affiliates in the nature of compensation to or for Executive’s benefit, whether paid or payable pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would subject Executive to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code,
the Accounting Firm shall determine as required below in this Section 3(e) whether to reduce any of the Payments paid or
payable pursuant to this Agreement (the “Agreement Payments”) to the Reduced Amount (as defined below). The
Agreement Payments shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount only if the Accounting Firm determines that Executive would have a greater
Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined below) of aggregate Payments if Executive’s Agreement Payments were so reduced. If the
Accounting Firm determines that Executive would not have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt of aggregate Payments if Executive’s
Agreement Payments were so reduced, then Executive shall receive all Agreement Payments to which Executive is entitled. 




    9 


     


    

 


(ii) 
 Accounting Firm Determinations. If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Agreement Payments should be reduced to
the Reduced Amount, then the Company shall promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation
thereof. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 3(e) shall be binding upon the Company and Executive
and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than twenty (20) days following the effective date of
the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. For purposes of reducing the Agreement Payments to the Reduced
Amount, only amounts payable under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. The reduction of the amounts payable
hereunder, if applicable, shall be made (A) only from Payments that the Accounting Firm determines reasonably may be characterized
as “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code; (B) only from Payments that are required to be made in cash,
(C) only with respect to any amounts that are not payable pursuant to a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan”
subject to Section 409A of the Code, until those payments have been reduced to zero, and (D) in reverse chronological order, to
the extent that any Payments subject to reduction are made over time (e.g., in installments). In no event, however, shall any
Payments be reduced if and to the extent such reduction would cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code or other applicable
law. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.


(iii) 
Overpayments; Underpayments. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time
of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed
by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed
(an “Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Company to
or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should have been so paid or distributed (an “Underpayment”),
in each case consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon
the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the Company or Executive which the Accounting Firm
believes has a high probability of success determines that an Overpayment has been made, Executive shall pay any such Overpayment
to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided,
however, that no amount shall be payable by Executive to the Company if and to the extent such payment would not either
reduce the amount on which Executive is subject to tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund
of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines
that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be paid promptly (and in no event later than 60 days following
the date on which the Underpayment is determined) by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive together with interest at
the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.


(iv) 
Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Section 3:

4. 
 Competition and Non-Solicitation.


(a)  Interests to be Protected.
The parties acknowledge that Executive will perform essential services for the Company, its employees, and its stockholders during
the term of Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive will be exposed to, have access to, and work with, a considerable
amount of confidential information. The parties also expressly recognize and acknowledge that the personnel of the Company have
been trained by, and are valuable to, the Company and that the Company will incur substantial recruiting and training expenses
if the Company must hire new personnel or retrain existing personnel to fill vacancies. The parties expressly recognize that it
could seriously impair the goodwill and diminish the value of the Company’s business should Executive compete with the Company
in any manner whatsoever. The parties acknowledge that this covenant has an extended duration; however, they agree that this covenant
is reasonable and it is necessary for the protection of the Company, its stockholders, and employees. For these and other reasons,
and the fact that there are many other employment opportunities available to Executive if Executive’s employment is terminated,
the parties are in full and complete agreement that the following restrictive covenants are fair and reasonable and are entered
into freely, voluntarily, and knowingly. Furthermore, each party was given the opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel
before entering into this Agreement.


(b)  Non-Competition. During the
term of Executive’s employment with the Company and for eighteen (18) months after the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company, which may be extended an additional twelve (12) months in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Company for a total of thirty (30) months after termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the
reason therefor, Executive shall not (whether directly or indirectly, as owner, principal, agent, stockholder, director, officer,
manager, employee, partner, participant, or in any other capacity) engage or become substantially and directly financially interested
in any Competitive Business Activities conducted within the Restricted Territory (as defined below). In the event of the termination
of Executive’s employment and the Term pursuant to Sections 3(a)(iv) (“Termination by the Company Without
Good Cause”) or 3(a)(vi) (“Termination by Executive With Good Reason”), if the Company
exercises its right to extend this non-competition clause by the additional twelve (12) months, then Executive will, (a) for a
period of twelve (12) additional months, continue to receive Executive’s then current annual Base Salary, as provided in
Section 2(a), and (b) Executive will receive for a period of an additional six (6), a monthly cash payment equal to
the one (1) month cost of COBRA continuation of the health insurance benefits for Executive and Executive’s immediate family
as applicable. As used herein, the term “Competitive Business Activities” shall mean business activities that
are competitive with the business of the Company, including but not limited to, business activities in the pharmaceutical industry
related to products that compete with the Company’s products, and the term “Restricted Territory” shall
mean any state or other geographical area in which the Company has demonstrated an intent to develop, commercialize, and/or distribute
products during Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive hereby agrees that, as of the date hereof, during Executive’s
employment with the Company, the Company has demonstrated an intent to develop, commercialize, and/or distribute products throughout
the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Europe, Australia, South Africa, Russia, Israel, Japan, and South
Korea.

(c)
 Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the term of Executive’s employment and for a period of twenty-four (24) months
after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason therefor, Executive shall not
directly or indirectly, for the Company, or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, company, partnership, corporation,
or governmental or other entity, solicit for employment, seek to hire, or hire any person who is employed by the Company, is a
consultant of the Company, or is an independent contractor of the Company, within twenty-four (24) months of the termination of
Executive’s employment, and, as related solely to consultants, for the purpose of having any such consultant engage in services
that are the same as, similar to, or related to the services that such consultant provided for the Company and that are competitive
with the services provided by the consultant for the Company.


(d) Non-Solicitation of Customers.
During the term of Executive’s employment and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason therefor, Executive shall not directly or indirectly,
for the Company, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person, company, partnership, corporation, or
governmental entity, call on, solicit, or engage in business with, any of the actual or targeted prospective customers or
clients of the Company on behalf of any person or entity in connection with any Competitive Business, nor shall Executive
make known the names and addresses of such actual or targeted prospective customers or clients, or any information relating
in any manner to the trade or business relationships of the Company with such customers or clients, other than in connection
with the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, and/or persuade or encourage or attempt to persuade or
encourage any persons or entities with whom the Company does business or has some business relationship to cease doing
business or to terminate its business relationship with the Company or to engage in any Competitive Business Activities on
its own or with any competitor of the Company. As used herein, the term “Competitive Business” shall mean
business that is directly competitive with the business of the Company, including but not limited to, business in the
pharmaceutical industry related to products that directly compete with the Company’s products.


(e) Employee Assignment, Invention and Confidentiality Agreement. Executive hereby reaffirms,
acknowledges, and agrees that Executive will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Employee Assignment,
Invention, and Confidentiality Agreement (the “EAICA”) that must be entered into as a condition of employment
between the Company and Executive, and that this Agreement does not modify or amend the EAICA.


(f)  Equitable Relief. In the event
a violation of any of the restrictions contained in this Section 4 occurs, the Company shall be entitled to preliminary
and permanent injunctive relief (without being required to post bond), reasonable attorneys’ fees, and damages and an equitable
accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such violation, which right shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. In the event of a violation of any provision of Section 4(b),
Section 4(c), or Section 4(d), the period for which those provisions would remain in effect shall be extended
for a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting
such violation shall have been finally terminated in good faith.




    12 


     


    

(g)  Restrictions Separable. If
the scope of any provision of this Agreement (whether in this Section 4 or otherwise) is found by a court to be too
broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The parties agree that the scope of any provision of this Agreement may be modified by a judge in any proceeding to enforce this
Agreement, so that such provision can be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each and every restriction set forth
in this Section 4 is independent and severable from the others, and no such restriction shall be rendered unenforceable
by virtue of the fact that, for any reason, any other or others of them may be unenforceable in whole or in part.


5.  Return of Company Property.
At any time as requested by the Company, or upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason,
Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company all files, lists, books, records, manuals, memoranda, drawings, and specifications;
all other written or printed materials and computers, cell phones, and other equipment that are the property of the Company (and
any copies of them); and all other materials that may contain confidential information relating to the business of the Company,
which Executive may then have in Executive’s possession or control, whether prepared by Executive or not.


6.  Cooperation. Following the
Term, Executive shall give assistance and cooperation willingly, upon reasonable advance notice with due consideration for Executive’s
other business or personal commitments, in any matter relating to Executive’s position with the Company, or Executive’s
expertise or experience as the Company may reasonably request, including Executive’s attendance and truthful testimony where
deemed appropriate by the Company, with respect to any investigation or the Company’s defense or prosecution of any existing
or future claims or litigations or other proceedings relating to matters in which Executive was involved or potentially had knowledge
by virtue of Executive’s employment with the Company. The Company agrees that (a) it shall promptly reimburse Executive
for Executive’s reasonable and documented expenses in connection with rendering assistance and/or cooperation under this
Section 6 upon Executive’s presentation of documentation for such expenses and (b) Executive shall be reasonably
compensated for any continued material services as required under this Section 6.


7.  No Prior Agreements. Executive
hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the execution of this Agreement by Executive and Executive’s employment
by the Company and the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder will not violate or be a breach of any agreement with
a former employer, client, or any other person or entity. Further, Executive agrees to indemnify the Company for any claim, including,
but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation, by any such third party that such third party may now
have or may hereafter come to have against the Company based upon or arising out of any non-competition, invention, or secrecy
agreement between Executive and such third party that was in existence as of the date of this Agreement.
