(d)Limitations on Demand Registrations.
(i)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may suspend the registration process and/or delay any Holder’s ability to use a prospectus or delay making a filing of a Registration Statement or taking any other action in connection therewith for a period of up to ninety (90) days when the Board has determined in good faith that it would be in the best interest of the Company if such Registration Statement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) were filed, such Registration Statement (or amendment or supplement thereto) were to become effective or remain effective for the time otherwise required for such Registration Statement to remain effective or any other action either would (A) materially adversely affect a significant financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other material transaction, (B) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (C) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Valid Business Reason”); provided, however, that such right to delay shall be exercised by the Company not more than twice in any 12-month period and the Company shall only have the right to delay so long as such Valid Business Reason exists (but in no event for a period longer than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve month period).

The Company shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to a suspension in any notice to the Holders.

(ii)The Company shall not be required to effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations, provided that, if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act for such intended resale of Registrable Securities, then the limit shall be three (3) per year Demand Registrations that are Shelf Registrations not involving an underwritten offering that the Company may be required to effect. A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected and shall not count as one of the Demand Registrations referenced in the immediately preceding sentence (i) unless a Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective and remained effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; provided, however, that such period shall not exceed twelve (12) months (except in the case of a Shelf Registration); (ii) (A) if, after it has become effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason and has not thereafter become effective; or (B) if the offering of Registrable Securities is not consummated because the underwriters of an underwritten public offering advise the Participating Holders that the Registrable Securities cannot be sold at a net price per share equal to or above the minimum net price acceptable to the Holders of a Majority in Interest of Participating Holders; provided, however, that this clause (ii)(B) shall not apply to an underwritten offering conducted on a “firm commitment basis” which is not consummated following the commencement of a roadshow; (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived (unless the cause of such conditions to closing not being satisfied shall be attributable to one or more Participating Holders or the underwriter); (iv) if the amount of Registrable Securities of Requesting Holders included in the registration are reduced to fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities originally requested to be registered; or (v) if there is not Full Cooperation in connection therewith.

Upon receipt of a notice to such effect from a Majority in Interest of the Participating Holders with respect to all of its Registrable Securities, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure











7



effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement and such Registration nonetheless shall be deemed a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 1.2 unless (i) the withdrawing Participating Holders shall have paid or reimbursed the Company for its pro rata share of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Registration of such Participating Holder’s withdrawn Registrable Securities (based on the number of securities the Participating Holder sought to register, as compared to the total number of securities included on such Registration Statement) or (ii) the withdrawal is based upon (x) the Company’s failure to comply in any material respect with its obligations hereunder, (y) the institution by the Company of suspension or delay of the registration process pursuant to Section 1.2(d)(i) or (z) the reasonable determination of the Participating Holders that there has been, since the date of the Demand Notice, a material adverse change in the business or prospects of the Company.
Section 1.3Piggyback Registration.
(a)Right to Include Registrable Securities. Each time after February 16, 2022 that the Company proposes for any reason to register any of its securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, either for its own account or for the account of a stockholder or stockholders exercising demand registration rights (other than Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof) (a “Proposed Registration”), the Company shall promptly give written notice (which notice shall be given not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expected filing date of the Proposed Registration and shall describe the intended method of distribution for the offering relating to the Proposed Registration) of such Proposed Registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities and shall offer such Holders the right to request inclusion of any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Proposed Registration (a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that the Holders shall have no right to include Registrable Securities in a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or any successor form), (iii) that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule thereto) or (iv) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan.

(b)Piggyback Procedure. Each Holder shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Company’s notice referred to in Section 1.3(a) above to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the number of Registrable Securities such Piggyback Holder intends to register and sell in the offering relating to such Piggyback Registration (any Holder so requesting to have any of their Registrable Securities included in the Proposed Registration, a “Piggyback Holder”). Any Piggyback Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Piggyback Holder’s request for inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1.3 by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal; provided, however, that the Company may ignore a notice of withdrawal made

Subject to Section 1.3(c) below, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities requested to be included therein; provided, further, that the Company may at any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such Proposed Registration if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities originally proposed to be registered, without prejudice, however, to the rights of any Holder to request that a Demand Registration be effected; and provided, further, that no registration effected under this provision will relieve the Company from its obligations to effect a Demand Registration upon a Demand Notice, subject to the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
(c)Priority for Piggyback Registration. If any Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of such offering advises the Company that, in its good faith view, that the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the Maximum Offering Amount, then the Company shall include in such registration the number of securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority (subject to any rights set forth in the Existing Stockholders’ Agreement):
(i)first, all securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account (the “Company Securities”) and any rights set forth in the Existing Stockholders’ Agreement);

(d)Underwritten Offering. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, any notice from the Company to the Holders under this Section 1.3 shall offer Holders the right to include any Registrable Securities covered by the Proposed Registration in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under such Proposed Registration.

    (e)    Cancellation and Delay of Registration.    If at any time after giving written notice of its Proposed Registration and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with the Proposed Registration or, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, prior to the consummation of such offering, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such offering, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Piggyback Holder and (i) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such Proposed Registration, without prejudice, however, to the rights of any Holder to include Registrable Securities in any future registrations pursuant to this Section 1.3 and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering other securities in the Proposed Registration.

15



relating to an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities to the extent customary for such offering (including, to the extent customary, telephonic, video or recorded participation in road shows);

If a Participating Holder refuses to provide the Company with any of such information, the Company may exclude such Participating Holder’s Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the Registration Statement and such Participating Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. The exclusion of a Participating Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement.
(c)Notice to Discontinue. Each Participating Holder whose Registrable Securities are covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement agrees that, upon receipt of written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 1.2(d) and/or Section 1.6(a)(v), such Participating Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities until such Participating Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 1.2(d) and/or Section 1.6(a)(v) or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference into the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company in the case of an event described in Section 1.2(d) and/or Section 1.6(a)(v), such Participating Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement is to be maintained effective by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 1.2(d) and/or Section 1.6(a)(v) to and including the date when the Participating Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by, and meeting the requirements of Section 1.2(d) and/or Section 1.6(a)(v).

Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) all Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company and (b) the Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered shall be borne by the Participating Holders of such Registrable Securities pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities sold.
Section 1.8Indemnification.
(a)Indemnification by the Company. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each Participating Holder, its Affiliates, any underwriter and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, stockholders, members, general partners and limited partners and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of such Persons (collectively, “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Company’s consent, and any costs incurred in enforcing the Company’s indemnification obligations hereunder) or other liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which any such Company Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal, state or foreign law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder, or under any common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) are resulting from or arising out of or based upon any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, any free writing prospectuses or any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or resulting from or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, and the Company will promptly reimburse each such Company Indemnified Party for any reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses and any other Losses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, action or investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Company Indemnified Party for any Losses that result from or arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission made in conformity with written information provided by, or on behalf of, a Company Indemnified Party Such indemnity obligation shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Company Indemnified Parties in accordance with the terms hereof.











18



(b)Indemnification by Participating Holders. In connection with any proposed registration in which a Holder is participating pursuant to this Agreement, each such Participating Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each other Participating Holder, their respective directors and officers, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or any other Participating Holder (collectively, “Holder Indemnified Parties”) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Holders as set forth in Section 1.8(a) (subject to the exceptions set forth in the foregoing indemnity, the proviso to this sentence and applicable law), but only with respect to any such untrue statement or omission made in conformity with information relating to such Participating Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Participating Holder; provided, however, that the liability of any Participating Holder under this Section 1.8(b) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) received by such Participating Holder in the offering giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity obligation shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Participating Holder.
(c)Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder unless and to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of one such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receiving notice from such Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes it has failed to do so or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the joint representation of the Indemnified Party and any other party in such proceeding (including but not limited to the Indemnifying Party) would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to











19



such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. The rights afforded to any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that such Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.
(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.8 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 1.8(d) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) received by such Holder in the offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.8(a), Section 1.8(b) and Section 1.8(c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 1.8(d) from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e)The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Article I shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Article I, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 1.9Rule 144; Other Exemptions. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) if and when it is subject to the periodic reporting requirement under the Exchange Act, file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and (ii) at all times take any and all action as each Holder may reasonably request (including, but not limited to providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144, in











20



each case in connection with resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities) under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with the covenants set forth above.
Section 1.10Certain Limitations On Registration Rights. No Holder may participate in any Registration Statement hereunder involving an underwritten public offering unless such Holder completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of the underwriting arrangements made in connection with such Registration Statement and agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement approved by the Holder or Holders entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters in connection with any such registration other than representations and warranties as to (i) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested.
Section 1.11Transfer of Registration Rights. Without the consent of the Company, the rights of a Holder hereunder may be transferred or assigned in connection with any transfer of Registrable Securities if (i) such transfer or assignment is made to an Affiliate of such Holder, (ii) the transferee or assignee becomes a party to this Agreement as a “Holder” in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement, and (iii) the Company is given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned; provided, that the rights and obligations that are assigned shall apply only to the Registrable Securities sold or transferred by a Holder, including any shares issued in respect of such Registrable Securities pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Registrable Securities,” but expressly excluding any other securities of the Company acquired by such assignee.
Section 1.13 Number of Registrable Securities Outstanding. In order to determine the number of Registrable Securities outstanding at any time, upon the written request of the Company to the Holders, each Holder shall promptly inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder owns and that the Company may conclusively rely upon any certificate provided under this Agreement for the purpose of determining the number of such Registrable Securities.

Section 2.11Construction. This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated among the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any law will be deemed to refer to such law as in effect on the date hereof and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.

If Evolus grants such a sublicense, Evolus shall ensure that all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to the Sublicensee to the same extent that they apply to Evolus for all purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, Sublicensee does not include any Third-Party through which Evolus


12

4.4.For the avoidance of doubt Alphaeon Corporation, Alphaeon 1 LLC, Aeon Biopharma Inc., and Strathspey Crown Holdings Group LLC are not Affiliates of Evolus and do not obtain any licensing rights under this Agreement, including those described in this Section 4.
4.5.Termination of Licenses. After the Royalty Period ends, the Manufacturing License shall expire and the Commercialization License granted by Medytox shall expire. After the Royalties Period ends and Evolus has made the License Payments set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3, the Commercialization License granted by Allergan shall be fully paid-up and irrevocable.
5.License Payments.

5.1.In consideration for the grant of the Licenses described in Section 4 and subject to: (i) the modification of the Limited Exclusion Order and the rescission of the Cease and Desist Order, as described in Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 and (ii) the termination of the California Action, as described in Section 2.1.1, Evolus shall pay to Complainants pursuant to the method prescribed in Exhibit A to this Agreement the following payments and amounts set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 (the “License Payments”):
5.2.Lump-Sum License Fees:
5.2.1.Upon the Effective Date, Evolus shall be obligated to pay Complainants a one-time up-front license fee in the amount of $15,000,000.00 (fifteen million U.S. dollars). Such payment shall be payable within ninety (90) days of the date of the latest-in-time termination or dismissal of the Actions pursuant to Sections 2.1.1 through 2.1.3.
5.2.2.On the first Business Day twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, Evolus shall pay Complainants a lump sum of $15,000,000.00 (fifteen million U.S. dollars).
5.2.3.On the first Business Day twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, Evolus shall pay Complainants a lump sum of $5,000,000.00 (five million U.S. dollars).
5.3.Royalties. During the Royalty Period, Evolus will be obligated to pay the Royalty to Complainants. Such Royalty payments will be made for a given Reporting Period within seventy-five (75) days of the end of each calendar quarter containing the applicable Reporting Period; provided that, for Royalties due for the Reporting Period from [***] through [***] the Royalty shall be payable at the same time as the Royalty payable for the Reporting Period from [***] to [***]. Each Royalty payment shall be accompanied by a Sales and Royalty Report sent to Allergan and Medytox at the E-mail


13
addresses set forth in Section 10.5. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sales and Royalty Report shall be considered Confidential Information under this Agreement and shall be limited to those employees of Complainants that have a need to know such information for purposes of accounting for the Royalty and shall not be utilized for Complainants’ pricing strategy, sales, marketing, or other commercial activities.
5.4.To the extent that there are any deductions to Royalties due for a Reporting Period that occur after the Royalty payment for that Reporting Period has been made, such deductions shall be accounted for as a credit against any Royalty payment payable in a subsequent Reporting Period. Any such credit shall be set forth on the Sales and Royalty Report for the Reporting Period in which the credit is accounted for. To the extent that there are any deductions to Royalties due that occur after Evolus has made its last Royalty payment, Complainants shall reimburse Evolus for such deduction within twenty (20) Business Days after Evolus notifies Complainants of such deduction, provided such notice is made within sixty (60) days of the end of the calendar Royalty Period.
5.5.For the avoidance of doubt, only one Royalty payment under Section 5.3 is due for any Licensed Product, whether manufactured or sold by Evolus, its Affiliates, sub-licensees, agents, resellers, distributors, suppliers, partners, co-promoters, or similar associates for Commercialization.
5.6.For the avoidance of doubt, Evolus shall be required to continue making the License Payments regardless of the status or expiration of the Licensed Rights. In the event of termination of this Agreement, as set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2, or 6.3, Evolus shall still be required to make any Royalty Payments accrued through the effective date of such termination on the schedule set forth in Section 5.3 and Complainants shall still be obligated to make any reimbursements for any deductions to Royalties that occur after Evolus has made its last Royalty Payment on the schedule set forth in Section 5.4.
5.7.Records and Audits.
5.7.1.Evolus shall keep complete, true, and accurate books and records in accordance with the Accounting Standards in relation to this Agreement, including in relation to sales of Licensed Products and Royalties.

5.7.2.Audit Rights. On an annual basis, Allergan or Medytox may, upon written request and at its own expense, cause an internationally recognized independent accounting firm (“Auditor”), which is reasonably acceptable to Evolus, to inspect the relevant records of Evolus to verify the Royalties payable by Evolus and the related reports, statements, and books of accounts within the three (3) years prior to the year in which such audit is conducted, as applicable. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an undertaking acceptable to Evolus by which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all information reviewed


14
during the audit. Allergan and Medytox may each designate one external law firm who, upon execution of the same undertaking to Evolus required of the Auditor, may review the Auditor’s work and the information on which it is based. The Auditor shall have the right to disclose to Allergan and Medytox only its conclusions regarding any payments owed under this Agreement.
5.7.3.Evolus shall make its records available for inspection by the Auditor during Evolus’s regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from Allergan, Medytox and/or the Auditor. The records shall be reviewed solely to verify the accuracy of Evolus’s Royalty payments and compliance with this Agreement. Such inspection right shall not be exercised more than once in any calendar year and not more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time, unless a prior inspection has revealed any underpayment by Evolus. Allergan and Medytox agree to hold in strict confidence all information received and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or to the extent required to comply with any law, regulation, or judicial order.
5.7.4.The Auditor shall provide its audit report and the basis for any determination to Evolus at the time such report is provided to Allergan or Medytox before it is considered final.
5.7.5.In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment by Evolus, the underpaid or overpaid amount shall be settled promptly.
5.7.6.Allergan and/or Medytox shall pay for such inspections, as well as their expenses associated with enforcing its rights with respect to payments hereunder. If an underpayment of more than seven point five percent (7.5%) of the total payments due for the applicable audit period is discovered, the reasonable fees and expenses charged by the Auditor shall be paid by Evolus.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment obligations, including without limitation the payment obligations under Section 5, including any credit for any deductions, for any Royalties accrued prior to termination,


15
and the audit rights provided in Section 5.7 that are necessary to audit the records relevant to those obligations, will survive termination of this Agreement.

23
examination or contest with respect to taxes or the taxation of the parties with respect to any payments made hereunder shall be agreed to by either Party without the consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

No course of dealing or usage of trade shall be used to modify the terms and conditions herein. This Agreement shall be binding on each of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
10.11.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, invalid, void, or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, such provision or such part thereof shall be deemed separate from and shall in no way affect the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. If such provision or part thereof is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable due to its scope or breadth, such provision or part thereof shall be deemed valid to the extent of the scope or breadth permitted by law. The Parties agree to renegotiate in good faith any provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it being the intent of the Parties that the basic purposes of the Agreement are to be effectuated.
10.12.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and execution by each of the Parties of any one of such counterparts will constitute due execution of this Agreement. Each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Execution and delivery of this Agreement by facsimile by either Party shall be legal, valid, and binding to the same extent as an original signature.

On an annual basis, Medytox may, upon written request and at its own expense, cause an internationally recognized independent accounting firm (“Auditor”), which is reasonably acceptable to Evolus, to inspect the relevant records of Evolus to verify the Initial Royalties and Renewal Royalties payable by Evolus and the related reports, statements, and books of accounts, within the three (3) years prior to the year in which such audit is conducted, as applicable. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an undertaking acceptable to Evolus by which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all information reviewed during the audit. Medytox may designate one external law firm who, upon execution of the same undertaking to Evolus required of the Auditor, may review the Auditor’s work and the information on which it is based. The Auditor shall have the right to disclose to Medytox only its conclusions regarding any payments owed under this Agreement.

The records shall be reviewed solely to verify the accuracy of Evolus’s Initial Royalty payments and Renewal Royalty payments, and compliance with this Agreement. Such inspection right shall not be exercised more than once in any calendar year and not more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time, unless a prior inspection has revealed any underpayment by Evolus. Medytox agrees to hold in strict confidence all information received and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or to the extent required to comply with any law, regulation, or judicial order.
7.4.The Auditor shall provide its audit report and the basis for any determination to Evolus at the time such report is provided to Medytox before it is considered final.
7.5.In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment by Evolus, the underpaid or overpaid amount shall be settled promptly.
7.6.Medytox shall pay for such inspections, as well as its expenses associated with enforcing its rights with respect to payments hereunder. If an underpayment of more



than seven point five percent (7.5%) of the total payments due for the applicable audit period is discovered, the reasonable fees and expenses charged by the Auditor shall be paid by Evolus.

The payor shall deliver to the payee the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the applicable governmental authority evidencing the payment of the taxes withheld, a copy of the tax return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to payee. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to minimize or eliminate any such tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of any payments or transfers (including the issuance or transfer of shares of stock) made to Medytox under this Agreement including taking into account any reduction to withholding available under a tax treaty to which the payee is entitled and taking all appropriate steps related thereto. Each Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect (including pursuant to Section 13.8(c)(ii) below), it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the other Party in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(i) Medytox represents that it is, and at all relevant times will be, entitled to the benefits of the United States - Republic of Korea Income Tax Convention (the “Treaty”), including, without limitation, where applicable the reduced rate of taxation on royalties specified in paragraph (1) of Article 14 thereof, with respect to such payments of which it is the beneficial owner;

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Share Issuance Agreement, Evolus shall not reduce the number of Issued Shares issuable to Medytox on account of any U.S. withholding taxes.  Medytox shall deposit, promptly following the date hereof (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit no later than five (5) Business Days following the date hereof) an amount equal to [***] (the “Issued Shares Escrow Amount”) into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with a nationally recognized third party escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) mutually agreed by Medytox and Evolus, which such Escrow Account shall be established in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.1441-3(d)(1), pending the determination in accordance with this section 13.8(d) of the source of the income of Medytox for U.S. tax purposes resulting from the issuance of Issued Shares hereunder.  The release of funds from the Escrow Account shall be governed by a customary escrow agreement, in a form mutually agreed by Medytox and Evolus promptly following the date hereof.  The costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be borne equally by both Parties.  In addition, until such time as the Final Withholding Amount (as defined below) is determined pursuant to this section 13.8(d), Evolus shall promptly deposit an amount equal to [***] of each Initial Royalty payment and Renewal License Payment to the Escrow Account (the aggregate amount of such payments, at any given time, the “License Escrow Amount” and, together with the Issued Shares Escrow Amount, the “Total Escrow Amount”) substantially concurrently with the payment of the remaining portion of the Initial Royalty or Renewal License Payment, as applicable, to Medytox (and the full amount of the Initial Royalty or Renewal License Payment, as applicable, shall be deemed paid to Medytox in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding any deposit to the Escrow Account).   Promptly following the date hereof, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following the date hereof, Medytox and Evolus shall jointly engage a United States based “Big 4”



accounting and U.S. tax expert mutually agreeable to both Parties (the “Accounting Expert”) to determine the portion of any Initial Royalty payment or Renewal License Payment and the value of the Issued Shares that are attributable to U.S. sources and the portions that are attributable to Korean or other non-U.S. sources (including, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into consideration the portion, if any, of such payments that relate to the manufacture of products within the Republic of Korea), and the determination of such Accounting Expert shall be rendered within three (3) months after the date hereof, and binding on both Parties.  The costs and expenses of engaging the Accounting Expert shall be borne equally by both Parties.  Once the determination of the Accounting Expert has been rendered, the Parties shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay promptly (i) a cash amount equal to (A) [***] multiplied by the U.S. source portion of any Initial Royalty payment or Renewal License Payment from which any amount was deposited in the Escrow Account plus (B) [***] multiplied by the U.S. source portion of the value of the Issued Shares (based on the closing price of the Issued Shares on the date of issuance) (such amount, the “Final Withholding Amount”) to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and (ii) the balance of the Escrow Account (after deducting the Final Withholding Amount) to Medytox.
(e) Within thirty (30) days after demand therefore, Medytox shall indemnify Evolus and each of its directors, officers and affiliates, and hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, (i) any loss or liability attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, or obligation in this Section 13.8, and (ii) all U.S. federal withholding taxes, penalties, fees, interest, additions to tax or other assessments related to the underpayment of any taxes, or the failure to pay to the Internal Revenue Service any taxes that were required to be withheld from any payment made hereunder, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys' and accountants' fees) incurred in connection therewith arising from a claim made against Evolus by the Internal Revenue Service, provided that (a) in the event of such a claim Medytox is provided prompt notice thereof, (b) Evolus reasonably cooperates in good faith with Medytox in the adjudication of said claim, (c) the claim results in a final order requiring a payment within the scope of this subsection, and (d) such claim is not settled or otherwise resolved without Medytox’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Medytox further agrees that Evolus shall have the right, in its discretion, to offset any Initial Royalty or Renewal License Payment required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement or any License Payment (as such term is defined in the US Settlement and License Agreement) required to be made pursuant to the US Settlement and License Agreement by any amount due under this Section 13.8(e) to the extent such amount is not otherwise paid by Medytox to Evolus within the thirty day period provided in this paragraph (and any amount subject to such offset shall be treated as paid to Evolus for all purposes under this Agreement or the US Settlement and License Agreement, as applicable).
(f) The Parties shall not take any position for any tax purpose inconsistent with any provision of this Section 13.8, absent a final and binding determination by a taxing authority in the relevant jurisdiction(s), in which case parties shall also cooperate to seek



conforming adjustments in any other relevant jurisdictions. The Parties shall keep each other reasonably informed, and shall notify the other Party promptly of any inquiry of any taxing authority relating in any way to such determination, allocation or treatment or otherwise in respect of the taxation of any payments made hereunder (including the issuance of the Issued Shares), and shall, without limiting the generality of Section 13.8(a), reasonably cooperate in responding to any such inquiry and in any related audit or contest. No settlement of any audit, proceeding, examination or contest with respect to taxes or the taxation of the parties with respect to any payments made hereunder shall be agreed to by either Party without the consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
13.8.Entire Agreement. All rights not expressly granted by the Parties under this Agreement are reserved by the Parties and, except as explicitly set on in this Agreement, no other express or implied license or rights under any intellectual property of any Party are granted or intended to be granted under this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties and supersedes all prior written or oral agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof. No modification of any of the terms of this Agreement, or any amendments thereto, shall be deemed to be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized agent or representative of both parties hereto. No course of dealing or usage of trade shall be used to modify the terms and conditions herein. This Agreement shall be binding on each of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
13.9.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, invalid, void, or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, such provision or such part thereof shall be deemed separate from and shall in no way affect the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. If such provision or part thereof is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable due to its scope or breadth, such provision or part thereof shall be deemed valid to the extent of the scope or breadth permitted by law. The Parties agree to renegotiate in good faith any provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it being the intent of the Parties that the basic purposes of the Agreement are to be effectuated.
13.10.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and execution by each of the Parties of any one of such counterparts will constitute due execution of this Agreement. Each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Execution and delivery of this Agreement by facsimile by either Party shall be legal, valid, and binding to the same extent as an original signature.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual undertakings set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:


1.No Admissions

1.1.It is understood and agreed that this is a compromise settlement of disputed claims and potential disputed claims. This Agreement is solely the result of a good-faith compromise and settlement between the Parties, who desire to continue to pursue their business collaboration for their mutual benefit. Neither this Agreement, the activities performed in contemplation of, in connection with, or in furtherance of this Agreement, nor statements made by any Party or any of its representatives concerning or relating to this Agreement are to be construed as an admission by Daewoong of liability, wrongdoing, or responsibility. For the avoidance of doubt, Daewoong has denied and continues to deny any and all allegations or accusations of liability or wrongdoing of any kind whatsoever, and retains, and does not waive, any and all defenses it may have with respect to such matters, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

2.Effective Date

2.1.Prior to the Execution Date, Daewoong has obtained the Bank of Korea’s acceptance of the foreign exchange report made in connection with this Agreement and the payments made hereunder. This Agreement will become effective upon the execution and delivery of the Additional Party Agreements. The date on which the requirements of this Section 2.1 are met shall be the “Effective Date.”






3.Payments and Cancellation

3.1.Subject to the terms and conditions herein and to Evolus’s performance of its obligations hereunder, Daewoong shall pay to Evolus a lump sum payment of US$25,500,000 (twenty-five million five hundred thousand dollars) (the “Lump Sum Payment”) within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Execution Date, via wire transfer to the following account:

Bank: Bank of America, N.A.
Account Address:                 [***]
[***]
Routing Number ACH/EFT:             [***]
Routing Number DOM. WIRES:         [***]
Swift Code for US Dollar Wires:         [***]
Swift Code for Foreign Currency:         [***]
Account Name:                 [***]
Account Number:                 [***]

3.1.Subject to the terms and conditions herein and to Evolus’s performance of its obligations hereunder, Daewoong: (a) shall pay within [***] days of the Execution Date [***]% of the reasonable legal fees incurred and invoiced prior to the Execution Date (but not yet paid as of the Execution Date) by counsel of record for Evolus, Paul, Weiss Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP (“Paul Weiss”), in connection with Paul Weiss’s rendering of legal services in support of Evolus’s defense of the ITC Investigation and the appeal of the remedial orders arising from the ITC Investigation to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ( “Indemnified Legal Services”), and (b) shall pay within [***] days of presentment [***]% of the reasonable legal fees incurred prior to the Execution Date and invoiced after the Execution Date solely for Indemnified Legal Services (subsections (a) and (b) together are the “Legal Fee Indemnity”). For sake of clarity and without limiting the foregoing, Daewoong shall have no obligation to pay any portion of Paul Weiss’s invoices for services rendered in connection with: the Evolus-Medytox Settlement Agreements; any claims or allegations by Evolus against Daewoong; or the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

3.2.Subject to the terms and conditions herein and to Evolus’s performance of its obligations hereunder, Daewoong agrees to cancel up to US$10,500,000 (ten million five hundred thousand dollars) of milestone payments under Article 6.7 of the License Agreement which would otherwise be due and owing on the Execution Date or which would have otherwise become due and owing after the Execution Date (the “Cancellation Amount”). Such milestone payments shall not be due and shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force or effect at the time when the milestone



payment would otherwise be due. The cancellation of the milestone payment shall be contingent upon Evolus providing within thirty (30) days after what would have been the achievement of a milestone after the Execution Date a written notice to Daewoong of the particular milestone achieved, and the amount of the payment cancelled. In the event that the total sum of milestone payments cancelled under this provision is less than US$10,500,000, then Evolus shall not be entitled to compensation for the remainder and shall not be entitled to any further consideration, payment, compensation, accommodation or cancellation under this provision. For sake of clarity and without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement creates no obligation for Daewoong to refund or return any milestone payments previously paid by Evolus on or before the Execution Date and any such previously paid payments shall remain non-creditable and non-refundable as provided in Article 6.7 of the License Agreement.

3.3.Subject to the terms and conditions herein and to Evolus’s performance of its obligations hereunder, Daewoong shall reimburse Evolus US$[***] ([***] dollars) for each 100 IU vial (or $[***] for each 50 IU vial) of the Product on which Evolus will actually make payment to Medytox and Allergan pursuant to Article 5.3 of the Evolus-Medytox US Settlement during the period commencing on December 16, 2020 and ending on September 16, 2022 (the “US Payment Reimbursement”). Within forty-five (45) days of the end of each calendar quarter containing the applicable Reporting Period (as defined in Article 5.3 of the Evolus-Medytox US Settlement), Evolus shall provide to Daewoong an advanced copy of the Sales and Royalty Report that Evolus intends to send to Allergan and Medytox as provided in Article 5.3 of the Evolus-Medytox US Settlement (the “Advanced Report”). Within [***] ([***]) days of receipt of the Advanced Report, Daewoong shall make the U.S. Payment Reimbursement by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Thereafter, Evolus shall also provide to Daewoong a copy of the Sales and Royalty Report when sent to Allergan and Medytox as provided in Article 5.3 of the Evolus-Medytox US Settlement (the “Final Report”). If there is a difference between the Advanced Report and the Final Report then (i) if the difference would have required Daewoong to make a lower US Payment Reimbursement, then Evolus shall credit such balance against the next US Payment Reimbursement or (ii) if the difference would have required Daewoong to make a higher US Payment Reimbursement, then Evolus shall provide an invoice for the balance of the US Payment Reimbursement for such quarter and Daewoong shall pay such invoice within [***] ([***]) days of receipt thereof. If any credit pursuant to subsection (i) remains after September 16, 2022, Evolus shall pay such remainder to Daewoong on or before October 1, 2022. The US Payment Reimbursement shall be net of any deduction or credit applied under Article 5.4 of the Evolus-Medytox US Settlement, and Evolus shall credit to Daewoong the portion of any reimbursement pursuant to such Article 5.4 which had been previously paid by Daewoong under the US Payment Reimbursement against future US Payment Reimbursement, provided, however, that if such credit relates to the period from June 30, 2022 to September 16, 2022, then Evolus shall return such amounts to Daewoong.




3.4.The Parties jointly agree that the statements set forth on Schedule A are true and correct. Daewoong shall pay the Lump Sum Payment, the Legal Fee Indemnity, the Cancellation Amount, and the US Payment Reimbursement (collectively, the “Settlement Consideration”) without deduction for any withholding and free and clear of any taxes imposed by or under the authority of the government of South Korea; provided, however, that (A) in the event the tax authority of the government of South Korea deems any portion of the Settlement Consideration to be subject to withholding and/or taxation (including penalty tax), (i) Daewoong shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including commencement of litigation if necessary) to obtain a determination that the Settlement Consideration is not subject to South Korean withholding and/or taxation (including penalty tax), including, without limitation, by pursuing any remedy with the applicable competent authority or otherwise available pursuant to the United States - Republic of Korea Income Tax Convention; and (ii) Evolus shall use commercially reasonable efforts in cooperating with Daewoong in obtaining such determination; and (B) if any portion of the Settlement Consideration is nonetheless finally determined to be subject to South Korean withholding and/or taxation (including penalty tax), Evolus shall be solely responsible for such withholding and/or tax amount determined to be applicable and [***]% of any penalty tax. Daewoong shall provide commercially reasonable assistance to facilitate Evolus’s payment of such taxes and (if applicable) obtaining corresponding tax credits, refunds or other benefits that are available to offset such taxes including, without limitation, by pursuing any remedy with the applicable competent authority or otherwise available pursuant to the United States - Republic of Korea Income Tax Convention. Evolus shall have the financial responsibility to pay all taxes as finally determined by applicable United States or other law to be Evolus’s obligation to pay, and Daewoong shall not be liable at any time for any such taxes incurred in connection with or related to amounts paid under this Agreement.

3.5.Other than the Settlement Consideration, Daewoong is not obligated to provide any other payment, forgiveness, offset, compensation, accommodation, cancellation, or consideration in connection with this Agreement.

3.6.Without limiting the foregoing, the consideration paid under this Agreement and the Additional Party Agreements (including the Settlement Consideration) shall not give rise to an offset under the Section 5 of the parties’ Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement entered into as of July 6, 2020. The rights and obligations of the Parties under such agreement shall not be modified by this Agreement or the Additional Party Agreements except as explicitly provided therein.

4.Evolus Obligations

4.1.Evolus shall, to the extent it is not inconsistent with its obligations under the Evolus-Medytox Settlement Agreements, cooperate in good faith with Daewoong’s reasonable requests for assistance and coordination in legal matters pertaining to the Medytox Actions. Evolus shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause



Medytox to make a filing with an appropriate document in the Korea Actions that Medytox is not seeking any damages related to any sales of the Product by Daewoong to Evolus, including for any periods prior to December 16, 2020.

4.2.Evolus on behalf of itself and its employees, officers, owners, agents, representatives, shareholders, partners, directors, subsidiaries, divisions, parent companies, affiliates, attorneys, insurers, successors, and assignees each covenant not to, directly or indirectly, alone or by, with or through others, cause, induce, allow to continue or authorize or voluntarily assist, participate, or cooperate in the commencement, maintenance, or prosecution of any action, proceeding, petition, or investigation arising out of or relating to the allegations made in or subject matter of the Medytox Actions, which would adversely affect Daewoong or any Daewoong affiliate, distributor, or collaboration partner.

5.2.Evolus Releasors expressly waive and relinquish, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, or international or foreign law, which would limit the scope of the release provided above, including any provision which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY. Evolus Releasors acknowledge that they may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which they now believe to be true with respect to the subject matters of the claims released herein, but hereby stipulate and agree that they have fully, finally, and forever settled and released any and all such claims, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, concealed or hidden, which now exist or heretofore existed upon any theory of law or equity now existing or coming into existence in the future, without regard to the discovery or existence of such different or additional facts.

For sake of clarity and without limiting the foregoing, Evolus shall not disclose the terms, conditions, and existence of this agreement to Medytox, Allergan, AbbVie Inc., or any employee, officer, owner, representative, agent, representative, shareholder, officer, director, subsidiary, division, parent company, affiliate, attorney, insurer, successor, or assignee thereof, unless Daewoong provides prior express written consent.

Each of the US Territory, the European Territories, Russia, CIS, South Africa, Canada, Australia, and Japan will be referred to collectively as the “Sub-Territories” and each individually a “Sub-Territory”. In the event that EVOLUS fails to submit an application for either (a) Marketing Authorization or (b) to start clinical trials (an “Application”) in each of Russia, CIS, South Africa or Australia within [***] ([***]) months of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the definition of “Territory” shall no longer include such Sub-Territory in which EVOLUS failed to submit an Application and the corresponding Target Performance for such Sub-Territory on Annex B shall be deleted and deemed to be of no further force and effect . Provided, however, if EVOLUS is making its best efforts to, and is diligently pursuing in good faith to, submit an Application in such Sub-Territory prior to the expiration of [***] ([***]) months of the Third Amendment Effective Date, then the period to submit the Application may be extended for a reasonable time as determined between the Parties working together in good faith.
(b)Modification of Sections 4.2 and 4.10. References in Sections 4.2 and 4.10 to “[***] ([***]) months” are hereby modified to “[***] ([***]) months” with respect to the binding portion of the Forecasts and Safety Stock with respect to the European Territories only.




(c)Amendment of Section 5.1. Section 5.1 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following.

“5.1    EVOLUS Minimum Annual Purchases Requirement.

(a) Subject to Section 5.1(b), If EVOLUS fails to achieve the Minimum Annual Purchases, as specified in Annex B for a specific Sub-Territory, DAEWOONG may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to EVOLUS, elect to convert the exclusive license to EVOLUS to a non-exclusive license in such specific Sub-Territory and, at its sole discretion, grant non-exclusive licenses to other Persons to market Product in such specific Sub-Territory.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if EVOLUS fails to achieve the Minimum Annual Purchases in any Sub-Territory, but EVOLUS both (i) achieves [***]% or greater than the Target Performance, as specified in Annex B in any such Sub-Territory (“Target Performance”) and (ii) achieves [***]% of the total aggregate Target Performance calculated for the aggregate of all Sub-Territories collectively, then EVOLUS shall maintain exclusivity for all Sub-Territories. Provided, however, that, if EVOLUS fails to achieve at least [***]% of the Target Performance in a specific Sub-Territory, then regardless of the achievement of any aggregate Target Performance, DAEWOONG may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to EVOLUS, elect to convert the exclusive license to EVOLUS to a non-exclusive license in such specific Sub-Territory in which the Target Performance is less than [***]% and, at its sole discretion, grant non-exclusive licenses to other Persons to market Product in such specific Sub-Territory.”

(d)[Reserved]

(e)Amendment of Section 7.9. Section 7.9 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following.

“7.9    All Product supplied by DAEWOONG to EVOLUS shall have, at time of receipt by EVOLUS, (i) [***]% of DAEWOONG’s shelf life in the case of Product for the US Territory, Russia, CIS, South Africa, Australia, Canada, and Japan or (ii) 20 months of DAEWOONG’s shelf life in the case of Product for the European Territories, in each case such shelf life defined as approved by the Governmental Authority granting Governmental Approval in the applicable Sub-Territory; provided, however, if the approved shelf life of a specific format of the Product is less than [***] months, then DAEWOONG will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maximize shelf life by manufacturing the Product on an as received basis (that is the shelf life will be the approved shelf life less the lead time to manufacture and supply the Product) and provided further that so long as the approved shelf-life for a specific format of the Product is less than [***] months, DAEWOONG shall have no obligation to produce Safety Stock for the specific format of the Product under Section 4.10. Subject to Product being supplied with the shelf life as set forth above, (a) DAEWOONG shall not be responsible for any expired units of the Product, including without limitation to those returned by wholesalers, pharmacists, doctors, or other Persons to whom EVOLUS sold the Product in the Territory, and (b) EVOLUS shall not be entitled to any replacement of the expired Product or to any compensation of any kind from DAEWOONG for such expired Product.”

Page 2



(f)Amendment of Section 7.12. The following is added to the end of Section 7.12 of the Original Agreement.

“Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Amendment thereto, if DAEWOONG is found to be liable under this Agreement (including liable for indemnification under this Section 7.12) in connection with any Claim arising from the European Territories, Russia, Canada, CIS, and South Africa, and such finding of liability includes a finding that DAEWOONG is required to pay indemnification, damages or other compensation based upon a calculation of lost profits, such lost profits shall be calculated by using the pricing as stated in Annex B of the Original Agreement (the “Reduced Damage Calculation”). For clarity, such Reduced Damage Calculation shall not be calculated by using the pricing in Annex B as amended and restated pursuant to Section 2(k) of the Third Amendment; provided, however, that the Reduced Damage Calculation shall not apply to any Claim which is determined to be based upon harm willfully inflicted or caused by the gross or wanton negligence of DAEWOONG. In such case, lost profits shall not be calculated under the Reduced Damage Calculation, but shall instead be calculated using the pricing in Annex B as amended and restated pursuant to Section 2(k) of the Third Amendment. For clarity, this Amendment to Section 7.12 does not modify any applicable rule of law regarding the recoverability of lost profits or the method of calculation of lost profits if recoverable other than that if the pricing in Annex B is a component of the calculation, then the terms of this Amendment to Section 7.12 shall govern whether the original or amended pricing is to be used.”

(g)Amendment of Section 9.5. Section 9.5 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following.

“9.5    Subject to the EVOLUS Regulatory Right, EVOLUS shall provide DAEWOONG and DAEWOONG shall have the right to freely use (with such use occurring exclusively outside the Territory (as of the Third Amendment Effective Date) and not for the direct or indirect purpose of obtaining or pursuing any Governmental Approval or any other purpose in the Territory (as of the Third Amendment Effective Date)) all documents and information relating to Regulatory Approvals including but not limited to: (a) full dossiers and/or any other submitted documents to Governmental Authorities; (b) all correspondence and communication exchanged with Governmental Authorities; (c) any certificate of Drug Registrations in Territory related to Product issued by Governmental Authorities; (d) any “Certificate(s) of Pharmaceutical Product” and/or “Certificate(s) of Free Sales” based upon the Regulatory Approval and (e) any other regulatory documents. DAEWOONG shall use such documents and information in a truthful and non-misleading manner and shall not prejudice the use of such documents or information or the Regulatory Approvals by EVOLUS within the Territory. EVOLUS shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such documents and information within 14 days from the request of DAEWOONG, and to the extent delayed, shall promptly provide the documents and information as soon as possible thereafter.”
(h)Addition of Section 13.8. Section 13.8 shall be added to the Original Agreement as follows.

“13.8    In view of EVOLUS’s having entered into certain agreements with Medytox Inc. (“Medytox”) on February 18, 2021, including the “Evolus-Medytox US Settlement” and the “Evolus-Medytox ROW Settlement” as the terms are defined in the preamble of the EVOLUS DAEWOONG Settlement Agreement, EVOLUS hereby acknowledges and agrees to the following:
Page 3




(a) In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary under the confidentiality provisions of Article 14, during the Term of this Agreement and even after the expiration or termination of this Agreement regardless of the reason therefor, EVOLUS shall not provide, disclose, furnish, supply, or otherwise make available to Medytox and its employees, officers, owners, representatives, agents, partners, directors, subsidiaries, divisions, parent companies, affiliates, attorneys, insurers, successors, and assignees any Confidential Information of DAEWOONG without DAEWOONG’s prior written consent thereto, regardless of any contractual obligations EVOLUS may have or may deem itself to have under its agreements with Medytox, including but not limited to, the Evolus-Medytox ROW Settlement. Breach of the foregoing provision shall be considered a Default that is not capable of cure under Section 16.1 of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 18.3 of this Agreement, the provisions under this Section 13.8 (a) shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(c) EVOLUS’s discussions with Medytox and its employees, officers, owners, representatives, agents, partners, directors, subsidiaries, divisions, parent companies, affiliates, attorneys, insurers, successors, and assignees, including those conducted under Section 8.2 of the Evolus-Medytox ROW Settlement shall not unduly affect or in any way compromise (i) the purpose and activities (including the input on Product development and Commercialization Plans) of the JSC under Article 11 of this Agreement, including but not limited to the JSC’s duty to exercise such authority in good faith under Section 11.3 and/or (ii) DAEWOONG’s rights and obligations arising under this Agreement.

(i)Amendment of Section 16.3. Section 16.3 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following

“16.3    Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.1, DAEWOONG shall have the right to elect to make all licenses granted to EVOLUS under this Agreement non-exclusive in such specific Sub-Territory upon thirty (30) day written notice to EVOLUS for EVOLUS’ failure to achieve the Minimum Annual Purchases in such specific Sub-Territory.”

(j)Amendment of Section 23.1. Section 23.1 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following.

“23.1 EVOLUS shall autonomously perform its duties and obligations hereunder and shall not sub-contract or assign the same or any part thereof to any other person whatsoever without the prior written consent of DAEWOONG; provided, however, that (a) EVOLUS may assign this Agreement, including its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate; and (b) EVOLUS may assign this Agreement in connection with any sale or transfer of the business to which this Agreement relates, whether by sale of assets, sale of stock, merger or otherwise; provided, further, however, that the assignee or successor of the business has the financial wherewithal to continue the obligation under this agreement, and the assignee or successor shall assume and/or take all of the duties and obligations under this Agreement.
The assignee or successor must agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this agreement prior to the assignment. Any attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.”

(k)Annex B Amendment. Annex B of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated with respect to the Territory for aesthetic uses of the product as set forth on Annex B attached to this Third Amendment. The parties agree that there are no Minimum Annual Purchases for Therapeutic Use.

3.Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures to this Third Amendment transmitted by facsimile, email, portable document format (.pdf) or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of this Agreement shall have the same effect as the physical delivery of the paper document bearing original signatures.
4.No Other Amendments. Except as herein set forth, the Original Agreement has not been modified and, as amended by this Third Amendment, remains of full force and effect. This Third Amendment does not amend any terms related to the Therapeutic Use of the Product, which terms shall be set forth in a separate agreement.
