Alder BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. Executive Severance Benefit Plan, effective October 18, 2019

INTRODUCTION. This Alder BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. Executive Severance Benefit Plan (the “Plan”) amends and restates the Alder BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. Executive Severance Benefit Plan as previously amended and restated effective December 15, 2016 (such earlier version, the “Prior Plan”). This amendment and restatement is effective October 18, 2019 (the “Restatement Effective Date”). The effectiveness of this amendment and restatement for employees at the level of Executive Vice President and above who are United States taxpayers shall be conditioned upon the execution by such executive of an Acceptance Agreement and Amended and Restated Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement with the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (and in the absence of such executed agreement, the Prior Plan shall continue to apply to such executive). The purpose of the Plan is to provide for the payment of severance benefits to certain eligible executive employees of Alder BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) or any Affiliate (as defined below) in the event that such persons become subject to involuntary or constructive employment terminations. This Plan document also is the Summary Plan Description for the Plan.

DEFINITIONS. For purposes of the Plan, the following terms are defined as follows:

“Accrued Amounts” means any unpaid annual base salary accrued through the date of a Participant’s Qualifying Termination and any accrued but unpaid vacation pay.

“Affiliate” means, at the time of determination, any “parent” or “subsidiary” of the Company as such terms are defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine the time or times at which “parent” or “subsidiary” status is determined within the foregoing definition.

“Annual Target Bonus” means the annual bonus that a Participant is eligible to earn under the Company’s or any Affiliate’s annual cash incentive program assuming achievement of target-level performance on all metrics. Reductions in the Annual Target Bonus effected upon or following a Change in Control shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating amounts payable hereunder.

“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

“Cause” shall mean: (i) employee’s continued failure, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, to perform one or more assigned duties or responsibilities to the Company or an Affiliate, such failure being evidenced by a written report submitted on behalf of the Company or an Affiliate to the Board so indicating failure and including a remedy or remedies reasonably satisfactory to the Board for correcting the asserted failure(s); (ii) failure to follow the lawful directives of employee’s manager(s), such failure being evidenced by a written report submitted by such manager(s) to the Board so indicating failure and including a remedy or remedies reasonably satisfactory to the Board; (iii) material violation of any Company or Affiliate policy; (iv) commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, dishonesty or any other misconduct that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the Company or an Affiliate; (v) unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or an Affiliate or any other party to whom employee owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of the relationship with the Company or an Affiliate; (vi) material breach by employee of any obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company or an Affiliate; or (vii) conviction of, or plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any state.

“Change in Control Termination” means a Participant’s Separation from Service due to (i) dismissal or discharge by the Company or an Affiliate for a reason other than death, disability, or Cause, or (ii) a Resignation for Good Reason, either of which occurs upon or within twelve (12) months following the effective date of a Change in Control (or, if later, following a Change in Control but prior to January 1, 2021). In no event will a Participant’s Separation from Service due to death, disability or Cause, or a resignation by a Participant without Good Reason, constitute a Change in Control Termination.

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

“Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company.

ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS.

Eligibility; Exceptions to Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) will provide the benefits described in Section 4 to the affected Participant. The Plan does not provide for duplication (in whole or in part) of benefits with any other agreement or plan and any payments under this Plan shall be reduced by any severance benefit payable to Participant under any other Company or Affiliate plan, program or agreement. A Participant will not receive benefits under the Plan in the following circumstances, as determined by the Plan Administrator, in its reasonable discretion:

The Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company, an Affiliate or the Participant for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination.

The Participant has not entered into the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or any similar or successor document (the “Proprietary Information Agreement”). In connection with the restatement of the Plan effective as of the Restatement Effective Date, each Participant at the level of Executive Vice President and above who is a United States taxpayer shall be required to execute a revised Proprietary Information Agreement (in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A to the Plan) as a condition to participation in the amended and restated Plan (and otherwise such Participant’s rights shall be governed by the Prior Plan document).

The Participant has failed to execute and allow to become effective the Release (as defined and described below) within sixty (60) days following the Participant’s Separation from Service.

The Participant has failed to return all Company Property. For this purpose, “Company Property” means all paper and electronic Company and Affiliate documents (and all copies thereof) created and/or received by the Participant during his or her period of employment with the Company or any Affiliate and other Company or Affiliate materials and property that the Participant has in his or her possession or control, including, without limitation, Company and Affiliate files, correspondence, emails, memoranda, notes, notebooks, drawings, records, plans, forecasts, reports, studies, analyses, proposals, agreements, financial information, research and development information, sales and marketing information, operational and personnel information, specifications, code, software, databases, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment (including, without limitation, leased vehicles, computers, computer equipment, software programs, facsimile machines, mobile telephones, servers), credit and calling cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys, and any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company or any Affiliate (and all reproductions thereof, in whole or in part). As a condition to receiving benefits under the Plan, a Participant must not make or retain copies, reproductions or summaries of any such Company or Affiliate documents, materials or property and must make a

The Participant has failed to cooperate fully with the Company or an Affiliate in connection with its actual or contemplated defense, prosecution, or investigation of any existing or future litigation, arbitrations, mediations, claims, demands, audits, government or regulatory inquiries, or other matters arising from events, acts, or failures to act that occurred during the time period in which the Participant was employed by the Company or an Affiliate (including any period of employment with an entity acquired by the Company). Such cooperation includes, without limitation, being available upon reasonable notice, without subpoena, to provide accurate and complete advice, assistance and information to the Company and an Affiliate, including offering and explaining evidence, providing truthful and accurate sworn statements, and participating in discovery and trial preparation and testimony. As a condition of receiving benefits under the Plan, the Participant must also promptly send the Company copies of all correspondence (for example, but not limited to, subpoenas) received by the Participant in connection with any such legal proceedings, unless the Participant is expressly prohibited by law from so doing. The Company will (A) make reasonable efforts to accommodate the Participant’s scheduling needs, (B) reimburse the Participant for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such cooperation (excluding foregone wages, salary, or other compensation, except as set forth in subsection C below) within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s timely presentation of appropriate documentation thereof, in accordance with the Company’s standard reimbursement policies and procedures, and (C) to the extent the Participant provides such cooperation following the later of the termination of Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate or the last day of the Severance Period, will pay Participant for his or her time in providing such cooperation at a rate equivalent to a per diem based upon his or her base salary as in effect on the date of termination of Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate.

Termination of Benefits. A Participant’s right to receive benefits under the Plan will terminate immediately if, at any time prior to or during the period for which the Participant is receiving benefits under the Plan, the Participant, without the prior written approval of the Plan Administrator:

willfully breaches a material provision of the Participant’s Proprietary Information Agreement and/or any obligations of confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, no conflicts or non-competition provision set forth in any other agreement between the Company (or an Affiliate) and a Participant (including, without limitation, the Participant’s employment agreement or offer letter) or under applicable law;

encourages or solicits any of the then current employees of the Company or any Affiliate to leave the employ of the Company or any Affiliate for any reason or interferes in any other manner with employment relationships at the time existing between the Company or any Affiliate and their then current employees; or

induces any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s then current clients, customers, suppliers, vendors, distributors, licensors, licensees, or other third party to terminate their existing business relationship with the Company or any Affiliate or interferes in any other manner with any existing business relationship between the Company of any Affiliate and any then current client, customer, supplier, vendor, distributor, licensor, licensee, or other third party.

PAYMENTS & BENEFITS. Except as may otherwise be provided in the Participant’s offer letter or similar written agreement with the Company, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, the Company, directly or through an Affiliate, will pay the Participant the Accrued Amounts, if any, on the date of such Qualifying Termination. In addition, subject to Sections 5 and 6 and a Participant’s continued compliance with the provisions of any agreement with the Company or any Affiliate, including, without limitation, the Participant’s Proprietary Information Agreement, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, the Participant shall be entitled to the payments and benefits described in this Section 4, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Cash Severance.

Change in Control Termination. Upon a Change in Control Termination, the Participant will receive as severance an amount equal to the product of (i) the sum of the Participant’s Monthly Base Salary and Monthly Annual Target Bonus, and (ii) the Participant’s applicable Severance Multiplier (the “Change in Control Cash Severance”). The Change in Control Cash Severance will be paid in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Qualifying Termination, less all applicable withholdings and deductions; provided, however, that no payments will be made prior to the first business day to occur on or after the 60^th day following the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination or later than the first business day to occur on or after the 75^th day following the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination.

Non-Change in Control Termination. Upon a Non-Change in Control Termination, the Participant will receive as severance an amount equal to the product of (i) the sum of the Participant’s Monthly Base Salary and Monthly Annual Target Bonus, and (ii) the Participant’s applicable Severance Multiplier (the “Non-Change in Control Cash Severance”). The Non-Change in Control Cash Severance will be paid in equal installments on the Company’s (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) regular payroll schedule over the Severance Period commencing as soon as practicable following the Qualifying Termination, less all applicable withholdings and deductions; provided, however, that no

COBRA Benefits.

If the Participant is eligible and has made the necessary elections for continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA under a health, dental, or vision plan sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate, the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) will pay, as and when due directly to the COBRA carrier, the COBRA premiums necessary to continue the COBRA coverage for the Participant and his or her eligible dependents until the earliest to occur of (i) the end of the applicable Severance Period, (ii) the date on which the Participant becomes eligible for coverage under the group health insurance plans of a subsequent employer, and (iii) the date on which the Participant is no longer eligible for continuation coverage under COBRA (such period from the date of the Qualifying Termination through the earliest of (i) through (iii), the “COBRA Payment Period”). In the case of self-insured plans, the benefit described in this Section 4(b)(i) may be provided through continued participation in the applicable plan at active employee rates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of COBRA premiums or the provision of benefits hereunder is likely to result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including, without limitation, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, the Company will instead pay the Participant, on the first day of each month of the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings and deductions. To the extent applicable, on the first business day to occur on or after the 60^th day following the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination, the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) will make the first payment under this Section 4(b)(ii) in a lump sum equal to the aggregate amount of payments that the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) would have paid through such date had such payments commenced on the Separation from Service through such 60^th day, with the balance of the payments paid thereafter on the original schedule. The Participant may, but is not obligated to, use such payments toward the cost of COBRA premiums.

If the Participant becomes eligible for coverage under another employer’s group health plan or otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the applicable Severance Period, the Participant must immediately notify the Company (or the

With respect to a Participant who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in the event that immediately prior to the end of the 18 month period following the Participant’s Qualifying Termination, the Participant is still receiving continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company shall continue to pay to the Participant, on the same payment schedule, for an additional 6 months, a monthly amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium paid immediately prior to the end of the 18 month period on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer and his eligible dependents (regardless of continuing COBRA eligibility).

Accelerated Vesting.

Change in Control. The vesting and exercisability (if applicable) of outstanding and unvested Stock Awards that are held by a Participant on the effective date of the Change in Control will accelerate and become fully vested upon any of the following events: (i) any Stock Awards that do not remain in effect and are not assumed or substituted with similarly equivalent options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units or the like immediately following the closing of a Change in Control shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Change in Control; (ii) if within one year following the closing of a Change of Control there is a Change in Control Termination for a Participant, such Stock Awards shall become fully vested immediately prior to such Change in Control Termination, and (iii) if the Participant is the Chief Executive Officer and remains an employee of the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) or its successor such Stock Awards shall become fully vested on the one-year anniversary of the closing of a Change in Control.

CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS.

Release. To be eligible to receive any benefits under the Plan, a Participant must sign a general waiver and release in substantially the form used by the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) from time to time.

Prior Agreements; Certain Reductions. The Plan Administrator will reduce a Participant’s benefits under the Plan by any other statutory severance obligations or contractual severance benefits, paid garden leave for employees outside of the United States, obligations for pay and/or benefits in lieu of notice (including, but not limited to, compensation and benefits in lieu of notice under the WARN Act), compensation and benefits provided pursuant to the WARN Act covering any period between the date a Participant receives a WARN notice and the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination during which time the Participant has been released from active service (the “Leave Period”), or any other similar benefits payable to the Participant by the Company or an Affiliate that are due in connection with the Participant’s Qualifying Termination and that are in the same form as the benefits provided under the Plan (e.g., equity award

Mitigation. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, a Participant will not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided under the Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will the amount of any payment provided for under the Plan be reduced by any compensation earned by a Participant as a result of employment by another employer or any retirement benefits received by such Participant after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) (except as provided for in Section 5(b)).

Indebtedness of Participants. To the extent permitted under applicable law, if a Participant is indebted to the Company or any Affiliate on the effective date of a Participant’s Qualifying Termination, the Company and its Affiliates reserve the right to offset the payment of any benefits under the Plan by the amount of such indebtedness. Such offset will be made in accordance with all applicable laws. The Participant’s execution of any notice or acceptance of participation in this Plan constitutes knowing written consent to the foregoing.

Parachute Payments.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in an agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, if any payment or benefit the Participant would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (a “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” will be either (A) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (B) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount ((A) or (B)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state, provincial, foreign, and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate),

The professional firm engaged by the Company for purposes of making determinations regarding parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall make all determinations required to be made under this Section 5(e). If the professional firm so engaged by the Company is serving as an accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such professional firm required to be made hereunder. Any good faith determinations of the professional firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Participant.

TAX MATTERS.

Application of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliate, the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the applicable guidance and regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Participant) until the first business day to occur following the date that is six (6) months following Participant’s termination of employment with the Company (or the Participant’s employing Affiliate) (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A); and (ii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to Participant hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Board, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. In the event that payments under the Plan are deferred

Withholding. All payments and benefits under the Plan will be subject to all applicable deductions and withholdings, including, without limitation, obligations to withhold for federal, state, provincial, foreign and local income and employment taxes.

Tax Advice. By becoming a Participant in the Plan, the Participant agrees to review with the Participant’s own tax advisors the federal, state, provincial, local, and foreign tax consequences of participation in the Plan. The Participant will rely solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company, any Affiliate or any of its agents. The Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company or any Affiliate) will be responsible for his or her own tax liability that may arise as a result of becoming a Participant in the Plan.

REEMPLOYMENT. In the event of a Participant’s reemployment by the Company of an Affiliate during the period of time in respect of which severance benefits have been provided (that is, benefits as a result of a Qualifying Termination), the Company or the Participant’s employing Affiliate, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require such Participant to repay to the Company or an Affiliate all or a portion of such severance benefits as a condition of reemployment.

CLAWBACK; RECOVERY. All payments and severance benefits provided under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company or an Affiliate is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. In addition, the Board may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions as the

RIGHT TO INTERPRET PLAN; AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

Exclusive Discretion. The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion and authority to establish rules, forms, and procedures for the administration of the Plan and to construe and interpret the Plan and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the eligibility to participate in the Plan and amount of benefits paid under the Plan. The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the Plan Administrator shall be binding and conclusive on all persons.

Amendment or Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan or the benefits provided hereunder at any time; provided, however, that (1) the changes to the definition of Severance Multiplier put in place on the Restatement Effective Date shall remain in effect until at least January 1, 2021 (following which date the previous definition of Severance Multiplier may be reverted to for future terminations of employment) and (2) except as described in clause (1) above, no such amendment or termination will apply to any Participant who would be adversely affected by such amendment or termination unless such Participant consents in writing to such amendment or termination. Any action amending or terminating the Plan will be in writing and executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

NO IMPLIED EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.

ERISA; LEGAL CONSTRUCTION.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by either the Company or a Participant pursuant to the terms of the Plan will be in writing and will be deemed given when delivered personally, when received electronically (including email addressed to the Participant’s Company email account and to the Company email account of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer), or deposited in the U.S. Mail, First Class with postage prepaid, and addressed to the parties, in the case of the Company, at the address set forth in Section III(d) of EXHIBIT C, in the case of a Participant, at the address as set forth in the Company’s employment file maintained for the Participant as previously furnished by the Participant or such other address as a party may request by notifying the other in writing.

Transfer and Assignment. The rights and obligations of a Participant under the Plan may not be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the Company. The Plan will be binding upon any surviving entity resulting from a Change in Control and upon any other person who is a successor by merger, acquisition, consolidation or otherwise to the business formerly carried on by the Company without regard to whether or not such person or entity actively assumes the obligations hereunder.

Waiver. Any party’s failure to enforce any provision or provisions of the Plan will not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor prevent any party from thereafter enforcing each and every other provision of the Plan. The rights granted to the parties herein are cumulative and will not constitute a waiver of any party’s right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances.

Severability. Should any provision of the Plan be declared or determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.

Section Headings. Section headings in the Plan are included only for convenience of reference and will not be considered part of the Plan for any other purpose.
