| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. These shares of the Issuer's common stock ("Shares") were purchased in a block order at a price of $3.85. |
| 2. These Shares are held of record by OrbiMed Private Investments V, LP ("OPI V"). OrbiMed Capital GP V LLC ("GP V") is the general partner of OPI V, and OrbiMed Advisors LLC ("Advisors"), a registered adviser under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended, is the managing member of GP V. By virtue of such relationships, GP V and Advisors may be deemed to have voting and investment power over the securities held by OPI V 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 exercised 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 V. |
| 3. Samuel D. Isaly, who was included as a Reporting Person on previous reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act filed by GP V and Advisors, is no longer subject to Section 16 with respect to securities of the Issuer. |
| 4. This report on Form 4 is jointly filed by GP V and Advisors. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, if any. The Reporting Persons have designated a representative, currently Chau Khuong, an employee of Advisors, to serve on the Issuer's board of directors. This report shall not be deemed an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is a beneficial owner for the purpose of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose. |
