(e)	         On October 17, 2012, Chelsea Therapeutics International,

If Mr. Oliveto resigns without good reason or Chelsea terminates Mr.

Chelsea, or for cause (as such term is defined in the Agreement), Chelsea must pay Mr. Oliveto all compensation and other benefits
payable to him through his resignation or termination date;
·
If Mr. Oliveto resigns for good reason or Chelsea terminates Mr. Oliveto's
employment on grounds other than those provided in the paragraph above, Chelsea must pay Mr. Oliveto his base salary in effect
as of his resignation or termination date for 12 months (or 18 months should such separation of service occur within one month

Pursuant to the Agreement, good reason exists when (a) Chelsea materially
reduces Mr. Oliveto's base salary, (b) Mr. Oliveto's principal place of work is relocated by Chelsea by more than 50
miles, or (c) Chelsea makes a material diminution in Mr. Oliveto's title or duties, except that, following Chelsea's
hire of a new Chief Executive Officer, good reason will not exist if Mr. Oliveto reports directly to the new Chief Executive Officer
and his job responsibilities are no less than those he held prior to being named Chelsea's Interim Chief Executive Officer;
·
If Mr. Oliveto dies prior to receiving any or all of the payments
to which he is due under the Agreement, the remaining payments will be made to his estate; and
·
Mr. Oliveto must provide Chelsea 30 days written notice of his termination
of employment and, if he is resigning for good reason, the notice must state the circumstances constituting good reason and Mr.
Oliveto may only resign within 6 months after Chelsea's 30-day period to cure such circumstances.
