The Base Salary shall be prorated for any partial year of employment on the basis of a 365-day fiscal year and may be changed in the discretion of the CEO and/or the Board. The Base Salary may only be decreased in connection with a Company-wide decrease in executive compensation; provided, however that Executive shall not be subject to any greater percentage reduction than any other Company executive.

3.2 Annual Milestone Bonus. Each year, the compensation committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"), shall meet and establish the parameters of Executive's additional cash bonus (the "Annual Milestone Bonus"). Executive shall be eligible for an Annual Milestone Bonus of up to one hundred percent ( 100%) of his Base Salary then in effect. The amount of the Annual Milestone Bonus to be paid shall be based on Executive's attainment of certain financial, clinical development, and/or business milestones (the "Milestones") to be established annually by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The Milestones for 2014 shall be established as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. The determination of whether Executive has met the Milestones, and if so, the bonus amount (if any) that will be paid, shall be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee in its reasonable discretion. Except as described in Sections 4.5.2 or 4.5.4 below, Executive must remain employed by the Company through and including the last day of the applicable calendar year in order to be eligible to earn or receive any Annual Milestone Bonus for that year. The Parties agree that Executive will be eligible for a pro rata bonus for 2014, provided that he remains employed by the Company through and including December 31 , 2014. The Annual Milestone Bonus shall be paid in cash as a single lump-sum payment no later than March 15 of the next following calendar year.

3.3 Corporate Development Compensation.

4.6.2 Cause. As used herein, "Cause" means: (i) Executive's conviction of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation with respect to the Company, (ii) Executive's material breach of a material term of this Agreement, (iii) Executive's material breach of the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement between Executive and the Company, (iv) Executive's breach of fiduciary duties to the Company, (v) Executive's willful failure or refusal to perform his material duties under this Agreement or failure to follow any specific lawful instructions of the Board, (vi) Executive's conviction or plea of nolo contendere in respect of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or (vii) Executive's willful or negligent misconduct that has a material adverse effect on the property, business, or reputation of the Company.

4.8 Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits provided under this Section 4 that constitute "deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively "Section 409A") will not commence in connection with Executive's termination of employment unless and until Executive has also incurred a "separation from service" (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(h) (a "Separation From Service"), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to Executive without causing Executive to incur the additional 20% tax under Section 409A. The parties intend that each installment of the separation benefits payments provided for in this Agreement is a separate "payment" for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend that payments of the Separation Benefits set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-l(b)(4), 1.409A-l(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b )(9). Executive and the Company agree to use their best efforts to amend the terms of this Agreement from time to time as may be necessary to avoid the imposition of penalties or additional taxes under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, any such amendment will provide Executive substantially equivalent economic payments and benefits as set forth herein and will not in the aggregate, materially increase the cost to, or liability of, the Company hereunder. However, if the Company determines that the Separation Benefits constitute "deferred compensation" under Section 409A and Executive is, on the termination of service, a "specified employee" of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Separation Benefits payments will be delayed until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive' s Separation From Service, or (ii) the date of Executive' s death (such applicable date, the "Specified Employee Initial Payment Date"), the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) will (A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Separation Benefits payments that Executive would otherwise have received through the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the Separation Benefits had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section and (B) commence paying the balance of the separation benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement.

5. GUARANTEE BY CORONADO BIOSCIENCES, INC.

Although Executive is an employee of the Company and not of Coronado Biosciences, Inc. (the Company's parent company), in the event that the Company fails or is unable to pay Executive the compensation due to him pursuant to this Agreement, upon notice from Executive, Coronado Biosciences will pay or ensure that the Company will pay such amounts to Executive. Coronado Biosciences' liability pursuant to this guarantee will in no event be greater than the amount that is due to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of any claim pursuant to this guarantee, Coronado Biosciences will have available to it all defenses and set-offs available to the Company.

6. ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Executive and Executive's heirs, executors, personal representatives, assigns, administrators and legal representatives.
