One-third of the shares subject to the stock option will vest on each one-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject in each case to Jeremy Green's continued service to the Issuer through each such vesting date, and all of the shares subject to the option will vest in full upon a change in control.

2. The stock option was granted to Mr. Green in connection with his service on the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

Mr. Green disclaims beneficial ownership of the stock option, and the filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Green is the beneficial owner of the securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. Redmile disclaims beneficial ownership of the stock option except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, and this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that Redmile is the beneficial owner of the securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.

3. Mr. Green, a member of the board of directors of the Issuer, was elected to that board as a representative of Redmile. As a result, Redmile is a director by deputization for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
