Dear Brian,

Hansen Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you employment on the following terms:

1. Position. Your title will be Vice President, Regulatory, Clinical and Quality Affairs. This position will report to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and is a full-time position contingent upon successful completion of reference and background checks. While you render services to the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity (whether full-time or part-time) that would create a conflict of interest with the Company. By signing this letter agreement, you confirm to the Company that you have no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties for the Company, provided, however, that you may continue to provide services to your current employer Direct Flow Medical, Inc. through October 17, 2014.

2. Cash Compensation. The Company will pay you a starting salary at the rate of $285,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule. This salary will be reviewed annually and will be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s employee compensation policies in effect from time to time. In addition, you will be eligible for an incentive bonus with an annual target payout of 35% of your base salary. For the Company’s 2014 fiscal year, this bonus opportunity will be prorated for partial year service during 2014. The Board will determine whether and to what extent the bonus criteria have been achieved and its determinations with respect to your bonus will be final and binding. Any bonus will be paid within 2 ¹⁄₂ months after the close of the fiscal year, but only if you are still employed by the Company at the time of payment.

3. Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans maintained by the Company and generally available to similarly-situated employees of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s life, health and disability insurance plans, subject in each case to the generally applicable terms and conditions of the plan.

4. Equity Awards.

A. Stock Option. On your first day of employment with the Company, you will be granted an option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock having an aggregate Black-Scholes value of approximately $200,000 (the “Option”). The exercise price per share of the Option will be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the Option is granted. You will vest in 25% of the Option shares after 12 months of continuous employment, and the balance will vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of continuous employment, as described in the applicable Stock Option Agreement. The Option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement. The Option will vest in 25% of the option shares after 12 months of continuous service, and the balance will vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of continuous service, as described in the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

B. Restricted Stock Units. On or within 90 days of your first day of employment with the Company, you will be granted restricted stock units representing a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $100,000 divided by the 6-month trailing average closing price of the Company’s common stock through 7/31/14. Provided that you remain continuously employed by the Company through each vesting date, you will vest in 25% of the restricted stock units on September 1, 2015 and an additional 6.25% of the restricted stock units will vest on each Company vesting date thereafter (i.e., March 1st, June 1st, September 1st and December 1st), as described in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. The restricted stock grant will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plan, as described in the Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

C. Performance Stock Units. On or within 90 days of your first day of employment with the Company, you will be granted performance stock units representing a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $100,000 divided by the 6-month trailing average closing price of the Company’s common stock through 7/31/2014 (the “On-Target PSUs”). As described in the applicable Performance Stock Unit Agreement, vesting of the performance stock units will be based on the achievement of both the Company’s fiscal year 2015 revenue target (the “Performance Condition”) and your continued employment through the applicable vesting dates. Specifically, on the date the Board determines whether and to what extent the Performance Condition is satisfied, 50% of the earned units will vest, and the remaining 50% of such earned units will vest on the third anniversary of the date your employment commences (provided you remain in continuous employment through each such date). The On-Target PSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plan, as described in the Plan and the applicable Performance Stock Unit Agreement. In addition to the On-Target PSUs, you will be granted additional restricted stock units equal to 50% of the On-Target PSUs that you will be eligible to vest in if the Performance Condition is exceeded and your employment continues through the applicable vesting dates, as further described in the applicable Performance Stock Unit Agreement.

10. Interpretation, Amendment and Enforcement: This letter agreement and Exhibits A and B constitute the complete agreement between you and the Company, contain all of the terms of your employment with the Company and supersede any prior agreements, representations or understandings (whether written, oral or implied) between you and the Company. This letter agreement may not be amended or modified, except by an express written agreement signed by both you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. The terms of this letter agreement and the resolution of any disputes as to the meaning, effect, performance or validity of this letter agreement or arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with, this letter agreement, your employment with the Company or any other relationship between you and the Company (the “Disputes”) will be governed by California law, excluding laws relating to conflicts or choice of law.

Such Release shall specifically relate to all of Executive’s rights and claims in existence at the time of such execution but shall exclude any continuing obligations the Corporation may have to Executive following the date of termination under this Agreement or any other agreement providing for obligations to survive Executive’s termination of employment.

4. Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment provided for hereunder is hereby designated as a separate payment, including each payment made pursuant to a schedule of installment payments which shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments. Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, each of the payments provided in connection with Executive’s Separation from Service (other than COBRA payments) is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), as applicable. To the extent that any payment is exempt pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), it will in any event be paid no later than the last day of Executive’s second taxable year following the taxable year in which Executive’s Separation from Service has occurred. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Corporation at the time of his Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of Executive’s benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service or (b) the date of Executive’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 4 shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

5. Excise Tax Limitation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the benefits provided by this Agreement, together with all other payments and the value of any benefits received or to be received by Executive (“Payments”), constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and, but for this Section 5, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be made to Executive either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. The Corporation shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by first reducing or eliminating cash payments and then by reducing those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined).

6

(b) Unless the Corporation and Executive otherwise agree in writing, an initial determination as to whether the Payments shall be reduced and the amount of such reduction shall be made, at the Corporation’s expense, by the accounting firm that is the Corporation’s independent accounting firm as of the date of the Change in Control (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Corporation and Executive within twenty (20) days of the Date of Termination if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Corporation or by Executive (provided Executive reasonably believes that Executive will receive Payments which may be subject to the Excise Tax), and if the Accounting Firm determines that there is substantial authority (within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code) that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to Executive, Executive shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the “Dispute”). If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Corporation and Executive.

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that the Payments to be made to, or provided for the benefit of, Executive either will be greater (an “Excess Payment”) or less (an “Underpayment”) than the amounts provided for by the limitation contained in Section 5(a).

(i) If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved that an Excess Payment has been made, such Excess Payment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a loan to Executive made on the date Executive received the Excess Payment and Executive shall repay the Excess Payment to the Corporation on demand (but not less than ten (10) days after written notice is received by Executive) together with interest on the Excess Payment at the “Applicable Federal Rate” (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of Executive’s receipt of such Excess Payment until the date of such repayment.

(ii) In the event that it is determined by (A) the Accounting Firm, the Corporation (which shall include the position taken by the Corporation, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS, (B) pursuant to a determination by a court, or (C) upon the resolution to Executive’s satisfaction of the Dispute that an Underpayment has occurred, the Corporation shall pay an amount equal to the Underpayment to Executive within ten (10) days of such determination or resolution, together with interest on such amount at the Applicable Federal Rate from the date such amount would have been paid to Executive until the date of payment.

6. Successors; Binding Agreement.

(a) The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or

7

assets of the Corporation to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Unless expressly provided otherwise, “Corporation” as used herein shall mean the Corporation as defined in this Agreement and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid.

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to Executive hereunder had Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to Executive’s estate.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Modification or Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended unless such modification or amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Corporation as may be specifically designated by the Board or a committee thereof.

(b) Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

(c) Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Executive and the Corporation and is the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this subject matter, and this Agreement shall supersede any prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements regarding this subject matter. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Notwithstanding Section 7(c), nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Corporation (except for any severance or termination policies, plans, programs or practices) and for which Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as Executive may have under any other agreements with the Corporation (except for any severance, termination or other agreement regarding the subject matter of this Agreement). Amounts which are vested benefits or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Corporation shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

The following confirms and memorializes an agreement that HANSEN MEDICAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and I have had since the commencement of my employment with the Company in any capacity and that is and has been a material part of the consideration for my employment by Company:

1. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement or my employment with Company. I will not violate any agreement with or rights of any third party or, except as expressly authorized by Company in writing hereafter, use or disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company. Further, I have not retained anything containing any confidential information of a prior employer or other third party, whether or not created by me.

2. Company shall own, and I shall assign, convey and transfer and do hereby assign, convey and transfer to Company all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designs, know-how, ideas and information made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by me during the term of my employment with Company to and only to the fullest extent allowed by California Labor Code Section 2870 (which is attached as Appendix A) (collectively “Inventions”). I will promptly disclose all Inventions to Company. I shall further assist Company, at Company’s expense, to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

I will also disclose anything I believe is excluded by Section 2870 so that the Company can make an independent assessment. Unless excluded by Section 2870 and disclosed in writing in advance, I further agree that I will not file, cause or allow to be filed any application for patent rights involving or disclosing any of the subject matter of my work for Company, or any related subject matter, during the time of my employment with Company, or for a period of one year after my employment ends for any reason.

If anything created by me prior to my employment relates to Company’s actual or proposed business, I have listed it on Appendix B in a manner that does not violate any third party rights. Without limiting the other paragraphs of this Agreement or Company’s other rights and remedies, if, when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company, I use or disclose my own (except pursuant to this paragraph 2) or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property (or if any Invention cannot be fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating the foregoing), Company will have and I hereby grant Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual property rights.

1

3. To the extent allowed by law, paragraph 2 includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by Company and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by Company.

4. I agree that all Inventions and all other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) I develop, learn or obtain during the term of my employment that relate to Company or the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company or that are received by or for Company in confidence, constitute “Proprietary Information.” I will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except within the scope of my employment, use any Proprietary Information. However, I shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect to information I can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of mine Upon termination of my employment, I will promptly return to Company all items containing or embodying Proprietary Information (including all copies), except that I may keep my personal copies of (i) my compensation records, (ii) materials distributed to shareholders generally and (iii) this Agreement. I also recognize and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to Company’s telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, stored computer files, email messages and voice messages) and that my activity and any files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice.

5. Until one year after the term of my employment, I will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of Company to leave Company for any reason (except for the bona fide firing of Company personnel within the scope of my employment).

6. I agree that during the term of my employment with Company (whether or not during business hours), I will not engage in any activity that is in any way competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company, and I will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company.

7. I agree that this Agreement is not an employment contract for any particular term and that I have the right to resign and Company has the right to terminate my employment at will, at any time, for any or no reason, with or without cause. In addition, this Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment, and, as an employee of Company, I have obligations to Company which are not set forth in this Agreement. However, the terms of this Agreement govern over any inconsistent terms and can only be changed by a subsequent written agreement signed by the President of Company.

8. I agree that my obligations under paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part, and that Company is entitled to communicate my obligations under this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer of mine. My obligations under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of Company, it subsidiaries, successors and assigns.

2

9. Any dispute in the meaning, effect or validity of this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. I further agree that if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable California law, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms. I also understand that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to Company for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore, Company will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies and without any requirement to post bond.
