WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into this Agreement, which will supersede the Prior Employment Agreement as of the Effective Date, setting forth the terms and conditions of Executive’s continued employment with the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1. Position and Duties.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Date, the Executive will continue to be employed by the Company, on a full-time basis, as its Chief Scientific Officer. In addition, the Executive may be asked from time to time to serve as a director or officer of one or more of the Company’s Affiliates, without further compensation.

(b) The Executive agrees to perform the duties of his position and such other duties as may reasonably be assigned to the Executive from time to time. The Executive also agrees that, while employed by the Company, he will devote his full business time and his best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge exclusively to the advancement of the business interests of the Company and its Affiliates and to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities for them.

(c) The Executive agrees that, while employed by the Company, he will comply with all Company policies, practices and procedures and all codes of ethics or business conduct applicable to his position, as in effect from time to time.

2. Compensation and Benefits. During the Executive’s employment hereunder, as compensation for all services performed by the Executive for the Company and its Affiliates, the Company will provide the Executive the following compensation and benefits:

(a) Base Salary. The Company will pay the Executive a base salary at the rate of $450,000 per year, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company and subject to adjustment from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in its discretion (as adjusted, from time to time, the “Base Salary”).

(b) Bonus Compensation. For each fiscal year completed during the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Executive will be eligible to earn an annual bonus (each, an “Annual Bonus”). The Executive’s target bonus will be 40% of the Base Salary, with the actual amount of any such Annual Bonus to be determined by the Board in its discretion, based on the Executive’s performance and the Company’s performance against goals established by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In order to receive any Annual Bonus hereunder, the Executive must be employed through the date that such Annual Bonus is paid.

(c) Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. The Executive will be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans from time to time in effect for employees of the Company generally, except to the extent such plans are duplicative of benefits otherwise provided to the Executive under this Agreement (e.g., a severance pay plan). The Executive’s participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and any other restrictions or limitations imposed by law.

(d) Vacations. The Executive will be entitled to earn vacation days in accordance with the policies of the Company, as in effect from time to time. Vacation may be taken at such times and intervals as the Executive shall determine, subject to the business needs of the Company.

The Executive’s right to payment or reimbursement hereunder shall be subject to the following additional rules: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for payment or reimbursement during any calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other calendar year, (ii) payment or reimbursement shall be made not later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense or payment was incurred and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

3. Confidential Information and Intellectual Property.

During the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will learn of Confidential Information, and will develop Confidential Information on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that he will not use or disclose to any Person (except as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of his regular duties and responsibilities for the Company) any Confidential Information obtained by the Executive incident to his employment or any other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that this restriction will continue to apply after his employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) nothing contained in this Agreement limits, restricts or in any other way affects the Executive’s communicating with any governmental agency or entity, or communicating with any official or staff person of a governmental agency or entity, concerning matters relevant to such governmental agency or entity and (ii) the Executive will not

-2-

be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret (y) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (z) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding; provided, however, that notwithstanding this immunity from liability, the Executive may be held liable if he unlawfully accesses trade secrets by unauthorized means.

(b) Protection of Documents. All documents, records and files, in any media of whatever kind and description, relating to the business, present or otherwise, of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by the Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The Executive agrees to safeguard all Documents and to surrender to the Company, at the time his employment terminates or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify, all Documents then in his possession or control. The Executive also agrees to disclose to the Company, at the time his employment terminates or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify, all passwords necessary or desirable to obtain access to, or that would assist in obtaining access to, any information which the Executive has password-protected on any computer equipment, network or system of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property.

(i) The Executive will promptly disclose in confidence to the Company all inventions, discoveries, ideas, processes, products, computer programs, works of authorship and know-how that the Executive or any individual working with the Executive makes, conceives or reduces to practice, from the date the Executive’s employment with the Company commenced through the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and that (i) arises from the services provided by the Executive to the Company (the “Services”) or other work performed by the Executive for the Company or (ii) arises from use of facilities, equipment, supplies, materials or Confidential Information of the Company (along with all patent and other intellectual property rights arising therefrom, collectively, “Developments”). For clarity, “Developments” will include any products, progeny, modifications, improvements or derivatives of biological materials provided to the Executive by the Company. The Executive will not make any use of any funds, space, personnel, facilities, equipment or other resources of a third party in performing the Services hereunder nor take any other action that would result in another third party owning or having a right in any Developments under the such third party’s applicable policies or otherwise.

(ii) The Executive will make and maintain adequate and reasonably current written records of all Developments, which records will be available to and remain the property of the Company at all times. All Developments will be the sole property of the Company. For purposes of the copyright laws of the United States, all Developments will constitute works made for hire as applicable. The Executive hereby assigns and, to the extent any such assignment cannot be made at present, hereby agrees to assign to the Company, without further compensation, all right, title and interest in and to all Developments.

-3-

(iii) The Executive will assist the Company in any reasonable manner to obtain for its own benefit patent and other intellectual property rights in any and all countries with respect to the Developments, and the Executive will execute and deliver, promptly as requested, patent and other applications and assignments therefor. The Executive will further reasonably assist the Company to enforce any such patent rights and other rights, including testifying in any suit or proceeding. The Executive will perform the Executive’s obligations under this Section 3 without further compensation, except for reimbursement of expenses incurred at the Company’s request and, with respect to any performance after the term of this Agreement or in excess of the Executive’s time commitment during the term of this Agreement, compensation at a reasonable rate for costs and expenses incurred by the Executive and time actually spent by the Executive at the Company’s request. In the event the Company is unable after reasonable effort to obtain the Executive’s signature on any document which the Executive may be required to sign pursuant to this Section 3, whether because of the Executive’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, the Executive hereby irrevocably appoints each of the President and the Secretary of the Company (whether now or hereafter in office) as the Executive’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such document on the Executive’s behalf.

(iv) The Company agrees that any technology and/or intellectual property, and any and all intellectual property rights, industrial property rights, and moral rights thereto, created in whole or in part by the Executive prior to the date hereof and referred to in Exhibit A to this Agreement (“Excluded Technology”) is not within the scope of the assignment of Developments hereunder, which may be updated in the future by mutual agreement. Except for any Excluded Technology, if the Executive incorporates into any Developments any proprietary information or other intellectual property owned by the Executive or in which the Executive has an interest, the Executive hereby grants, and to the extent any such grant cannot be made at the present, agrees to grant to the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable worldwide license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, under all intellectual property rights, to make, use, refrain from using, sell, offer for sale, import, modify, delete, add to, reproduce, create derivative works based upon, distribute, perform, display or otherwise exploit in any way, such proprietary information or other intellectual property, in whole or in part, by any means, now known or later developed, in all languages
