independent consultant to the Company. If you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this letter, please countersign this letter below. 
 As indicated above, you will be an independent consultant to the Company. Your responsibilities as an independent consultant will include, but not be limited to, services related to research and development budgeting and other financial
matters. You will report to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Company will not exercise any control over the manner or methods with which you perform such services. The Company’s sole interest and responsibility is to ensure that
the services covered by this letter agreement are performed and rendered in a competent, satisfactory and legal manner. 
 Your start date will be effective
retroactive to June 1, 2005. You will devote such time as may be necessary, in your discretion, to fulfill your responsibilities as an independent consultant to the Company which shall in no event be less than five (5) business days per

 In consideration for your consulting services, the Company will reimburse you for all reasonable expenses incurred in performing services to the

your consultancy, nor will you be eligible for any vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, social security, workers’ compensation disability benefits, unemployment benefits or any other employee benefit of any kind. However, you will be
paid a bonus as follows: (i) if the Company closes an equity or debt financing with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000 during the period of your consultancy with the Company (the “Qualified Financing”),
you will be paid a bonus at such closing (but not earlier than January 1, 2006) equal to $5000 multiplied by the number of months that have elapsed between the date of this letter agreement and the date of the closing of such Qualified
Financing, prorated for any partial month, or (ii) if the Company terminates this letter agreement and your consultancy other than for “Cause,” you will be paid a bonus equal to $5000 multiplied by the number of months that have
elapsed between the date of this letter agreement and the effective date of such termination, prorated for any partial month; provided, however, that in no event will any such bonus exceed an amount equal to six (6) months multiplied by $5,000
for the period prior to the closing of the financing described above. For purposes of this letter agreement, the 

 
term “Cause” shall mean, as determined by the Company’s Board in good faith: (i) consultant’s material breach of this letter
agreement, (ii) consultant’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of consultant’s duties, (iii) consultant’s conviction of or entering of a plea of guilty or no contest to a felony, or (iv) the
order of a regulatory agency that the consultant be removed from any authority with the Company. 
 During the period of your consultancy the Company
acknowledges and agrees that you may engage in other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity so long as it is not directly related to or in competition with the business of the Company or any business the Company may become
involved in during your period of your consultancy, nor will you engage in any activities that are in conflict with the operations or obligations of the Company. 
 From December 1, 2005 until this agreement is terminated, the Company will pay you a monthly retainer of $5,000 per month. This letter agreement may be terminated, with or without Cause, by either party upon thirty (30) days
advance written notice. 
 This letter agreement shall be construed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware without respect or reference
to its principles of conflicts of laws. This letter agreement may be modified, amended or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by all parties hereto. This letter agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties
and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this letter agreement, portion of such provision, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall,
to any extent, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this letter agreement or the remainder of such provision and the application thereof to other persons or circumstances, other than those as to which it is held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this letter agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. This letter agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each
of which when it is executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument. The parties hereto agree to accept facsimile signatures to evidence the execution of this letter agreement.

 Regards,
