Explanation of Responses:

1. On July 2, 2012, Venrock Associates IV, L.P. ("VA4"), Venrock Partners, L.P. ("VP"), Venrock Entrepreneurs Fund IV, L.P. ("VEF4"), Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners, L.P. ("VHCP") and VHCP Co-Investment Holdings, LLC ("VHCP Co-Invest") (collectively, the "Venrock Funds") distributed an aggregate of 900,000 shares of the common stock of the Issuer to their respective partners pro rata based on their respective interests in the Venrock Funds (the "Distribution").

2. Following the Distribution, the Venrock Funds' shares are held as follows: 1,721,350 shares held by VA4, 351,036 shares held by VP, 42,293 shares held by VEF4, 1,361,755 shares held by VHCP and 249,101 shares held by VHCP Co-Invest. Venrock Management IV, LLC ("VM4"), Venrock Partners Management, LLC ("VPM") and VEF Management IV, LLC ("VEFM4") are the sole general partners of VA4, VP and VEF4, respectively, and may be deemed to beneficially own these shares. VHCP Management, LLC ("VHCP Management") is the general partner of VHCP and the manager of VHCP Co-Invest and may be deemed to beneficially own these shares. Anders Hove is a member of VM4, VPM and VEFM4 and a managing member of VHCP Management. Dr. Hove expressly disclaims beneficial ownership over all shares held by VA4, VP, VEF4, VHCP, VHCP Co-Invest, VM4, VPM, VEFM4 and VHCP Management except to the extent of his indirect pecuniary interest therein.

3. In the Distribution, VM4 received 5,663 shares, VPM received 1,193 shares, VEFM4 received 82 shares, VHCP Management received 12,335 shares, Venrock Associates V, L.P.

Venrock Management V, LLC ("VM5") and Venrock Partners Management V, LLC ("VPM5") are the sole general partners of VA5 and VP5, respectively, and may be deemed to beneficially own these shares. Dr. Hove is a member of VM5 and VPM5. Dr. Hove expressly disclaims beneficial ownership over all shares held by VA5, VP5, VM5 and VPM5 except to the extent of his indirect pecuniary interest therein. For VM4, VPM, VEFM4 and VHCP Management, this represents a change in form of ownership from indirect to direct but does not represent a change in beneficial ownership.
