$[***] – $[***]	[*****]%
$[***] – $[***]	[*****]%
$[***] – $[***]	[*****]%

By way of example and not limitation, if Net Sales for a given Calendar Year are $[*****], then the royalty applicable on such Net Sales of such Product for that year shall be calculated as follows:

([*****]% X $[*****]) + ([*****]% X $[*****]) = $[*****].

10.2.2Royalty Term. Almirall’s obligation to pay royalties under Section 10.2 will continue on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis commencing on the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country in the Territory until the expiration of the Royalty Term for such Product in such country (at which time sales in such country will be excluded from all calculations of aggregate Net Sales hereunder). Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term in a country, the licenses described in Section 3.1 shall be fully paid up and perpetual in such country.

10.2.3Royalty Adjustments.

If the average Net Sales in any four subsequent Calendar Quarters at any time after entry of a Biosimilar Product decline by more than [*****] percent ([*****]%) of the average level of the Net Sales of the Product achieved in the four Calendar Quarters immediately prior to such entry, then the royalty payments due to Dermira for such Product in such country shall be reduced by [*****] percent ([*****]%).

GENERAL PROVISIONS

16.1Effects of Change of Control.

16.1.1Sensitive Information. If there is a Change of Control, then the Party experiencing such Change of Control (“Acquired Party”) shall provide written notice to the other Party (“Non-Acquired Party”) at least [*****] days prior to completion of such Change of Control, subject to any confidentiality obligations of the Acquired Party then in effect (but in any event shall notify the Non-Acquired Party within [*****] days after completion of

CONFIDENTIAL

EXECUTION COPY

such Change of Control). Following consummation of the Change of Control, the Non-Acquired Party and the Change of Control Group shall adopt in writing [*****] procedures to prevent the disclosure of any of the Non-Acquired Party’s materials, Confidential Information, and Intellectual Property Rights (collectively, “Sensitive Information”) beyond the Acquired Party’s personnel who need to know the Sensitive Information solely for the purpose of fulfilling the Acquired Party’s obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement. The Non-Acquired Party may restrict the Acquired Party’s participation in the JSC and any other committee in effect at the time of the Change of Control only to the extent necessary for the purposes of protecting Sensitive Information

16.1.2Step-In Rights. If (i) Dermira undergoes a Change of Control with a Third Party that is, as of the date such Change of Control transaction is consummated, Developing or Commercializing in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in the United States and in the Territory a monoclonal antibody for which (A) a Phase 3 Trial has been initiated in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and (B) the mechanism of action is through binding to interleukin-13 (such monoclonal antibody, a “Competitive Product”, and such Third Party, a “Competitor”), (ii) such Competitor does not within twelve (12) months after the date such Change of Control transaction closes (the “Divestiture Period”) either (1) transfer to a Third Party all of Competitor’s (aa) rights to commercialize such Competitive Product in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in the United States and in the Territory or (bb) rights to develop and commercialize the Product in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in the United States and in the Territory (in this case upon Almirall’s prior consent) or (2) cease such development and commercialization of the Competitive Product, and (iii) such Competitor does not expressly assume in writing the performance of such obligations, and Dermira thereafter materially breaches without cure certain of its obligations under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Obligations”), then Almirall may upon [*****] days prior written notice to Dermira (the “Step-In Notice”), at Almirall’s sole cost and expense (subject to Section 16.1.4): (X) perform such Defaulted Obligations of Dermira under the Development Plan (including paying contract research organizations and clinical sites that are performing any Clinical Study that is part of the Global Clinical Development Activities); and (Y) to the maximum extent permissible under the Supply and Quality Agreement between Roche and Dermira dated December 1, 2018 and other agreements with Third Party contract manufacturers, to perform Dermira’s obligations to supply Drug Product to Almirall, including placing orders with such manufacturers and paying any amounts due as a result of such orders, in each case to the extent permissible under Applicable Law (collectively, the “Step-In Rights”).

16.1.3Step-In Dispute Procedure. If Almirall exercises its rights under Section 16.1.2 and Dermira believes it did not materially breach its obligations under this Agreement without cure, then it may provide Almirall written notice thereof. If Dermira notifies Almirall in writing that Dermira disputes that it did not materially breach its obligations or cure such alleged breach within the applicable time period (the “Step-In Dispute Notice”), then either Party may submit such dispute for resolution pursuant to Section 16.5; provided, however, that: (a) such dispute shall be governed by [*****]; and (b) the scope of such [*****] proceeding shall be [*****] determining [*****]. For clarity, any claim by Almirall for monetary damages or remedies other than those described in Section 16.1.2 must be asserted [*****] under Section

CONFIDENTIAL

EXECUTION COPY

16.5. If the arbitrator determines that [*****], or that [*****], then Almirall must, within [*****] days written notice, cease performing such activities and cooperate to transition such activities back to Dermira prior to ceasing such activities. If the arbitrator determines that [*****] and [*****] described above, then Almirall may continue to exercise Almirall’s rights under Section 16.1.2 with respect to the activities specified in its Step-In Notice. Almirall must thereafter perform all such obligations unless and until Almirall notifies Dermira in writing of the date on which Almirall will cease performing specified Step-In Rights, which date must be at least [*****] days after delivery of such notice (such date, the “Withdrawal Date”, and such notice, the “Withdrawal Notice”). During the period that Almirall is asserting its Step-In Rights to perform certain activities, Dermira’s failure to perform such activities shall not be a breach of its obligations under this Agreement. After the Withdrawal Date specified in a Withdrawal Notice with respect to specified Step-In Rights, the responsibility for performing such obligations shall revert to Dermira.

16.1.4Reimbursement of Costs. To the extent that Almirall, in exercising its rights under Section 16.1.2, pays a Third Party on Dermira’s behalf amounts that Dermira is obligated to pay to such Third Party for the performance of Dermira’s obligations under this Agreement, including to perform any Global Clinical Development Activities and to obtain any Drug Product or component thereof for supply to Almirall, Almirall shall be entitled to credit such amounts against its Milestone Payments or Royalty Payment obligations to Dermira under this Agreement; provided that such credit may not exceed [*****] percent ([*****]%) of the [*****] Milestone Payment or Royalty Payment and that remaining amount shall be credited against [*****] Milestone Payments or Royalty Payments considering the same [*****] percent ([*****]%) floor, provided that Dermira’s milestone payments and royalty payments due under the Roche Agreement with respect to activities under this Agreement, including Net Sales by Almirall, will apply as a floor for any such credit.

16.2Force Majeure Event. Neither Party shall be held liable to the other Party, nor be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, including embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, sabotage, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, fire, floods, earthquake, or other acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority, and which in each case is not caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of such Party (each such event or cause, a “Force Majeure”). The affected Party shall notify the other Party in writing of such Force Majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake all reasonable efforts necessary to cure such Force Majeure circumstances and resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement. If circumstances constituting Force Majeure exist for more than [*****] days and cause such failure or delay continuously throughout such period, then either Party may terminate this Agreement upon [*****] days written notice to the other Party.

16.3Notices. Any notice, request, or other communication permitted or required under this Agreement will be in writing, will refer specifically to this Agreement and will be hand delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, expenses prepaid, to the following

fees if a Particular law permits them to do so. The award of the arbitrators shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion. Except as may be required by Applicable Law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.

16.6Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that Dermira and Almirall will be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties will not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither Dermira nor Almirall will have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which will be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so. All persons employed by a Party will be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all expenses and obligations incurred by reason of such employment will be for the account and expense of such Party.

16.7Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that any Party may, without the other Party’s prior written consent, assign this Agreement in connection with the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the business to which this Agreement relates (whether such transaction occurs by way of a sale of assets, merger, consolidation or similar transaction); provided, further, that any successor or assignee of rights or obligations permitted hereunder expressly assumes in writing the performance of such rights or obligations. Any permitted assignment will be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 16.7 will be null, void and of no legal effect. For the avoidance of doubt, an assignment of this Agreement does not release the assigning Party from its responsibility for performance of its duties under the Agreement unless the non-assigning Party so agrees in writing.

16.8Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision will be considered severed from this Agreement and will not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof.

16.9Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

16.10Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the EXHIBITS and Schedules hereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the

16.11Further Assurances. Each Party shall, at no cost to the other Party, perform (and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to perform) all further acts and things and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably require to implement or give effect to this Agreement. Without limiting any rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, upon reasonable request by Dermira, Almirall shall take such steps as are necessary to fulfill obligations owed to Roche by Dermira that arise from Almirall’s activities in the Territory.

16.12Amendment. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change, or addition to this Agreement or any EXHIBIT or Schedule will be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party, except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement.

16.13Order of Precedence. In the event of any inconsistency between the body of this Agreement and the EXHIBITs or the Schedules to this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated to the contrary in such EXHIBIT or in the Schedule, the terms contained in the body of this Agreement will control.

16.14Construction of Terms. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (“and/or”). Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, unless otherwise specified, such number refers to calendar days. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. The terms “including,” “include,” or “includes” as used herein shall mean including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term. The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party hereto.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, .pdf or other electronically transmitted signatures and such signatures will be deemed to bind each Party hereto as if they were the original signatures.

16.16Third-Party beneficiaries. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Third Party including, without limitation, any creditor of any Party hereto. No such Third Party shall obtain any right under any provision of this
