Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan



 Exhibit 10.2 
 QUESTCOR PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 
 Amended and Restated 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan 
 1. Purpose. 
 (a) The purpose of the 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
“Plan”) is to provide a means by which employees of Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), and its Affiliates, as defined in subparagraph 1(b), which are designated as provided in
subparagraph 2(b), may be given an opportunity to purchase stock of the Company. 
 (b) The word “Affiliate” as
used in the Plan means any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 (c) The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of its employees, to secure and retain the services of
new employees, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company. 
 (d) The
Company intends that the rights to purchase stock of the Company granted under the Plan be considered options issued under an “employee stock purchase plan” as that term is defined in Section 423(b) of the Code. 

2. Administration. 
 (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company unless and until the Board delegates administration to a Committee, as provided in subparagraph
2(c). Whether or not the Board has delegated administration, the Board shall have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the Plan. 

(b) The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan: 

(i) To determine when and how rights to purchase stock of the Company shall be granted and the provisions of each offering of such
rights (which need not be identical). 
 (ii) To designate from time to time which Affiliates of the Company shall be eligible
to participate in the Plan. 
 (iii) To construe and interpret the Plan and rights granted under it, and to establish, amend
and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan
fully effective. 
 (iv) To amend the Plan as provided in paragraph 13. 

(v) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests
of the Company and its Affiliates and to carry out the intent that the Plan be treated as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. 







 (c) The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a Committee composed of two
(2) or more members of the Board (the “Committee”). If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board,
subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan.

 3. Shares Subject to the Plan. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 12 relating to adjustments upon changes in stock, the stock that may be sold pursuant to rights granted under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate Three
Million Five Hundred Thousand (3,500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”). If any right granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the
Common Stock not purchased under such right shall again become available for the Plan. 
 (b) The stock subject to the Plan may
be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise. 
 4. Grant of Rights; Offering. 

(a) The Board or the Committee may from time to time grant or provide for the grant of rights to purchase Common Stock of the Company
under the Plan to eligible employees (an “Offering”) on a date or dates (the “Offering Date(s)”) selected by the Board or the Committee. Each Offering shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board or the Committee shall deem appropriate, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all employees granted rights to purchase stock under the Plan shall have the same rights and
privileges. The terms and conditions of an Offering shall be incorporated by reference into and made part of the Plan and shall be attached hereto as part of the Plan. The provisions of separate Offerings need not be identical, but each Offering
shall include (through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by reference in the document comprising the Offering or otherwise) the period during which the Offering shall be effective, which period shall not exceed six (6) months
beginning with the Offering Date, and the substance of the provisions contained in paragraphs 5 through 8, inclusive. 
 (b) If
an employee has more than one right outstanding under the Plan, unless he or she otherwise indicates in agreements or notices delivered hereunder: (1) each agreement or notice delivered by that employee will be deemed to apply to all of his or
her rights under the Plan, and (2) a right with a lesser exercise price (or an earlier-granted right, if two rights have identical exercise prices), will be exercised to the fullest possible extent before a right with a higher exercise price
(or a later-granted right, if two rights have identical exercise prices) will be exercised. 
 5. Eligibility.

 (a) Rights may be granted only to employees of the Company or, as the Board or the Committee may designate as provided in
subparagraph 2(b), to employees of any Affiliate of the 

  
 2 








 
Company. Except as provided in subparagraph 5(b), an employee of the Company or any Affiliate shall not be eligible to be granted rights under the Plan, unless, on the Offering Date, such
employee has been in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate for such continuous period preceding such grant as the Board or the Committee may require, but in no event shall the required period of continuous employment be equal to or greater than
two (2) years. In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee and set forth in the terms of the applicable Offering, no employee of the Company or any Affiliate shall be eligible to be granted rights under the Plan,
unless, on the Offering Date, such employee’s customary employment with the Company or such Affiliate is for at least twenty (20) hours per week and at least five (5) months per calendar year. 

(b) The Board or the Committee may provide that each person who, during the course of an Offering, first becomes an eligible employee of
the Company or designated Affiliate will, on a date or dates specified in the Offering which coincides with the day on which such person becomes an eligible employee or occurs thereafter, receive a right under that Offering, which right shall
thereafter be deemed to be a part of that Offering. Such right shall have the same characteristics as any rights originally granted under that Offering, as described herein, except that: 

(i) the date on which such right is granted shall be the “Offering Date” of such right for all purposes, including
determination of the exercise price of such right; 
 (ii) the period of the Offering with respect to such right shall begin on
its Offering Date and end coincident with the end of such Offering; and 
 (iii) the Board or the Committee may provide that if
such person first becomes an eligible employee within a specified period of time before the end of the Offering, he or she will not receive any right under that Offering. 
 (c) No employee shall be eligible for the grant of any rights under the Plan if, immediately after any such rights are granted, such employee owns stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Affiliate. For purposes of this subparagraph 5(c), the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of any employee, and
stock which such employee may purchase under all outstanding rights and options shall be treated as stock owned by such employee. 
 (d) An eligible employee may be granted rights under the Plan only if such rights, together with any other rights granted under “employee stock purchase plans” of the Company and any Affiliates,
as specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, do not permit such employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Affiliate to accrue at a rate which exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) of fair market value of such
stock (determined at the time such rights are granted) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time. 

(e) Officers of the Company and any designated Affiliate shall be eligible to participate in Offerings under the Plan, provided, however,
that the Board may provide in an Offering that certain employees who are highly compensated employees within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code shall not be eligible to participate.

 6. Rights; Purchase Price. 

(a) On each Offering Date, each eligible employee, pursuant to an Offering made under the Plan, shall be granted the right to purchase up
to the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company purchasable with a percentage designated by the Board or the Committee (or fifteen percent (15%) in the absence of any designation) of such employee’s Earnings (as defined in
subparagraph 7(a)) during the period which begins on the Offering Date (or such later date as the Board or the Committee determines for a particular Offering) and ends on the date stated in the Offering, which date shall be no later than the end of
the Offering. The Board or the Committee shall establish one or more dates during an Offering (the “Purchase Date(s)”) on which rights granted under the Plan shall be exercised and purchases of Common Stock carried out in accordance
with such Offering. 
 (b) In connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board or the Committee may specify a
maximum number of shares that may be purchased by any employee as well as a maximum aggregate number of shares that may be purchased by all eligible employees pursuant to such Offering. In addition, in connection with each Offering that contains
more than one Purchase Date, the Board or the Committee may specify a maximum aggregate number of shares which may be purchased by all eligible employees on any given Purchase Date under the Offering. If the aggregate purchase of shares upon
exercise of rights granted under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, the Board or the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be practicable and as it shall
deem to be equitable. 
 (c) The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to rights granted under the Plan shall be not less
than the lesser of: 
 (i) an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the stock on the
Offering Date; or 
 (ii) an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the stock on the
Purchase Date. 
 7. Participation; Withdrawal; Termination. 

(a) An eligible employee may become a participant in the Plan pursuant to an Offering by delivering a participation agreement to the
Company within the time specified in the Offering, in such form as the Company provides. Each such agreement shall authorize payroll deductions of up to the maximum percentage specified by the Board or the Committee of such employee’s Earnings
during the Offering. “Earnings” is defined as an employee’s regular salary or wages (including amounts thereof elected to be deferred by the employee, that would otherwise have been paid, under any arrangement established by
the Company intended to comply with Section 401(k), Section 402(e)(3), Section 125, Section 402(h), or Section 403(b) of the Code, and also including any deferrals under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan or
arrangement established by the Company), and may also include or exclude (as provided for each Offering) the following items of compensation: bonuses, commissions, overtime pay, incentive pay, profit sharing, other remuneration paid directly to the
employee, the cost of employee benefits paid for by the Company or an Affiliate, education or tuition reimbursements, imputed income arising under any group insurance or benefit program, traveling expenses, business and moving expense
reimbursements, 

  
 4 








 
income received in connection with stock options, contributions made by the Company or an Affiliate under any employee benefit plan, and similar items of compensation, as determined by the Board
or Committee. The payroll deductions made for each participant shall be credited to an account for such participant under the Plan and shall be deposited with the general funds of the Company. A participant may reduce (including to zero), but not
increase, such payroll deductions, and an eligible employee may begin such payroll deductions, after the beginning of any Offering only as provided for in the Offering. 
 (b) At any time during an Offering, a participant may terminate his or her payroll deductions under the Plan and withdraw from the Offering by delivering to the Company a notice of withdrawal in such form
as the Company provides. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of the Offering except as provided by the Board or the Committee in the Offering. Upon such withdrawal from the Offering by a participant, the Company shall
distribute to such participant all of his or her accumulated payroll deductions (reduced to the extent, if any, such deductions have been used to acquire stock for the participant) under the Offering, without interest, and such participant’s
interest in that Offering shall be automatically terminated. A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering will have no effect upon such participant’s eligibility to participate in any other Offerings under the Plan but such participant will
be required to deliver a new participation agreement in order to participate in subsequent Offerings under the Plan. 
 (c)
Rights granted pursuant to any Offering under the Plan shall terminate immediately upon cessation of a participant’s employment with the Company and any designated Affiliate, for any reason, and the Company shall distribute to such terminated
employee all of his or her accumulated payroll deductions (reduced to the extent, if any, such deductions have been used to acquire stock for the terminated employee), under the Offering, without interest. 

(d) Rights granted under the Plan shall not be transferable by a participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, or by a beneficiary designation as provided in paragraph 14 and, otherwise during his or her lifetime, shall be exercisable only by the person to whom such rights are granted. 

8. Exercise. 
 (a) On each Purchase Date specified in the relevant Offering, each participant’s accumulated payroll deductions and other additional payments specifically provided for in the Offering (without any
increase for interest) will be applied to the purchase of whole shares of stock of the Company, up to the maximum number of shares permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Offering, at the purchase price specified in the
Offering. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of rights granted under the Plan, unless the Offering document specifically provides otherwise. The amount, if any, of accumulated payroll deductions remaining in each
participant’s account after the purchase of shares which is less than the amount required to purchase one share of stock on the final Purchase Date of an Offering shall be held in each such participant’s account for the purchase of shares
under the next Offering under the Plan, unless such participant withdraws from such next Offering, as provided in subparagraph 7(b), or is no longer eligible to be granted rights under the Plan, as provided in paragraph 5, in which case such amount
shall be distributed to the participant after such final Purchase Date, without interest. The amount, if any, of accumulated payroll deductions remaining in any participant’s account after the purchase of shares which is equal to the amount
required to purchase whole shares of stock on the final Purchase Date of an Offering shall be distributed in full to the participant after such Purchase Date, without interest. 

  
 5 








 (b) No rights granted under the Plan may be exercised to any extent unless the shares to be
issued upon such exercise under the Plan (including rights granted thereunder) are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Plan is in material
compliance with all applicable state, foreign and other securities and other laws applicable to the Plan. If on a Purchase Date in any Offering hereunder the Plan is not so registered or in such compliance, no rights granted under the Plan or any
Offering shall be exercised on such Purchase Date, and the Purchase Date shall be delayed until the Plan is subject to such an effective registration statement and such compliance, except that the Purchase Date shall not be delayed more than twelve
(12) months and the Purchase Date shall in no event be more than six (6) months from the Offering Date. If on the Purchase Date of any Offering hereunder, as delayed to the maximum extent permissible, the Plan is not registered and in such
compliance, no rights granted under the Plan or any Offering shall be exercised and all payroll deductions accumulated during the Offering (reduced to the extent, if any, such deductions have been used to acquire stock) shall be distributed to the
participants, without interest. 
 9. Covenants of the Company. 

(a) During the terms of the rights granted under the Plan, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of stock
required to satisfy such rights. 
 (b) The Company shall seek to obtain from each federal, state, foreign or other regulatory
commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of the rights granted under the Plan. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any
such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell stock upon
exercise of such rights unless and until such authority is obtained. 
 10. Use of Proceeds from Stock. 

Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to rights granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company. 

11. Rights as a Stockholder. 
 A participant shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares subject to rights granted under the Plan unless and until the participant’s
shares acquired upon exercise of rights hereunder are recorded in the books of the Company. 
 12. Adjustments upon Changes
in Stock. 
 (a) If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any rights granted under the Plan
(through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, repurchase, liquidating dividend, combination of shares,
exchange of shares, liquidation, dissolution or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the 

  
 6 








 
assets of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase securities of the Company, change in corporate structure or
other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan and outstanding rights will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of shares subject to the Plan and the class(es) and number of shares and
price per share of stock subject to outstanding rights. Such adjustments shall be made by the Board or the Committee, the determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be treated as a “transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company.”) 
 (b) In the
event of: (1) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (2) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation; (3) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, but the shares of
the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise; or (4) the acquisition by any person, entity or group
within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Company representing at least fifty
percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, then, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (i) any surviving or acquiring corporation may assume outstanding rights or substitute
similar rights for those under the Plan, (ii) such rights may continue in full force and effect, (iii) participants’ accumulated payroll deductions may be used to purchase Common Stock immediately prior to the transaction described
above and the participants’ rights under the ongoing Offering terminated, (iv) all outstanding rights shall terminate without being exercised, or (v) all outstanding rights shall be purchased for an amount of cash equal to the amount
that could have been obtained upon the exercise of such rights had such rights been currently exercisable, or the replacement of such rights with other rights or property selected by the Board. 

(c) No adjustment or action described in this paragraph 12 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that
such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. 
 13.
Amendment of the Plan. 
 (a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, except as
provided in paragraph 12 relating to adjustments upon changes in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the adoption of the amendment if such amendment
requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to obtain employee stock purchase plan treatment under Section 423 of the Code or to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any NASDAQ or securities
exchange requirements. 
 (b) The Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide
eligible employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to employee stock purchase plans and/or to bring the Plan and/or rights granted under it
into compliance therewith. 

  
 7 








 (c) Rights and obligations under any rights granted before amendment of the Plan shall not
be altered or impaired by any amendment of the Plan, except with the consent of the person to whom such rights were granted, or except as necessary to comply with any laws or governmental regulations, or except as necessary to ensure that the Plan
and/or rights granted under the Plan comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. 
 14. Designation of
Beneficiary. 
 (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if
any, from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to the end of an Offering but prior to delivery to the participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a
written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death during an Offering. 

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the
participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its sole discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the
participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 
 15. Termination or Suspension of the Plan. 
 (a) The Board in its
discretion, may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No rights may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. 
 (b) Rights and obligations under any rights granted while the Plan is in effect shall not be altered or impaired by suspension or termination of the Plan, except as expressly provided in the Plan or with
the consent of the person to whom such rights were granted, or except as necessary to comply with any laws or governmental regulation, or except as necessary to ensure that the Plan and/or rights granted under the Plan comply with the requirements
of Section 423 of the Code. 
 16. Effective Date of Plan. 

The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no rights granted under the Plan shall be exercised unless and until the
Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.
