acknowledges has occurred as of the Effective Date) and (ii) with respect to an additional 50,000 shares subject to the Initial Option upon achievement of target enrollment of the ASCENT-2 Study trial and expansion of the clinical development programs for Ascentar and AQ4N. In the event that immediately prior to the occurrence of an event described in the immediately preceding sentence the Initial Option is unvested with respect to less than 50,000 shares, it shall become fully vested in connection with such event. Upon the termination of your services under this Agreement, the Option shall cease to be subject to the foregoing accelerated vesting provisions (but as described above, will continue to vest if you continue your service as a member of the Board).

(2) As additional consideration for your services as Interim Chief Executive Officer, on May 9, 2007, the Company granted you restricted stock units with respect to 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial RSU Grant”) pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
