Explanation of Responses:

1. The option award will fully vest upon the earlier of (a) the Issuer's next annual stockholder meeting, or (b) the one-year anniversary of the grant date, such to the Reporting Person's provision of service to the Issuer on each vesting date.

2. These securities are held of record by David P. Bonita ("Bonita"), a member of OrbiMed Advisors LLC ("Advisors"). Pursuant to an agreement with Advisors and OrbiMed Capital GP VI LLC ("GP VI"), Bonita is obligated to transfer these securities, or the economic benefit thereof, to Advisors and GP VI, which will in turn ensure that such securities of economic benefits are provided to OrbiMed Private Investments VI, LP ("OPI VI").

3. Each of GP VI and Advisors disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a) under the Exchange Act, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, if any. GP VI and Advisors have designated a representative, Bonita, to serve on the Company's board of directors. This report shall not be deemed an admission that GP VI or Advisors is a beneficial owner of such securities for the purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or for any other purposes.

4. GP VI is the general partner of OPI VI and Advisors, a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended, is the managing member of GP VI. By virtue of such relationships, GP VI and Advisors may be deemed to have voting and investment power with respect to the securities held by OPI VI noted above and, as a result, may be deemed to beneficially own such securities for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Advisors exercises this investment and voting power through a management committee comprised of Carl L. Gordon, Sven H. Borho, and Jonathan T. Silverstein, each of whom disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by OPI VI.
