in the Company’s healthcare plan as in effect from time to time (the “Healthcare Plan”) on the same terms
as other senior executives of the Company and its affiliates; provided that if no such plan in which the Executive is eligible

Non-Competition. The Executive recognizes that, in the event his employment with the Company is terminated for any
reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, his knowledge of the Confidential Information (as defined below) and trade secrets
of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and his role in the Company and its business may allow him to compete or to
assist a third party to compete unfairly with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The Executive shall not, in any manner
whatsoever, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world where the Company conducts its business, both during his employment hereunder
and for 12 months following the termination of his employment with the Company for any reason (the “Restricted Period”),
(i) form, carry on, engage in or be concerned with or interested in (financially or in any other capacity); (ii) advise, lend money
to, guarantee the debts or obligations of or permit the Executive’s name or any part thereof to be used in the promotion
or advancement of; or (iii) be employed by or render any services (as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, or otherwise)
to, any individual or other entity engaged in, or concerned with or interested in, any business that develops or commercializes
foam or topical tetracycline antibiotics or is otherwise directly competitive with, the business of the Company and its subsidiaries
and affiliates (i.e., any compound that is the same or substantially similar to a compound being developed or sold by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) (each, a “Competitive Business”), in each case without the prior written
consent of the Company.


 






    3


     


    

 


(b)

consent of the Company, at any time during the Restricted Period:


 


(i)                
induce or endeavor to induce (A) any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to leave employment with the Company
or any subsidiary or affiliate or (B) any consultant or contractor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate
its relationship as such with the Company or any such subsidiary or affiliate during any period of time that the business services
provided, directly or indirectly, by such consultant or contractor are exclusively or primarily being provided to the Company and
its subsidiaries or affiliates, provided, that this clause (i) shall not preclude customary non-targeted recruiting efforts or
general solicitations that are not specifically directed to, but which may have the effect of causing an employee, consultant or
contractor to leave the employment or arrangement with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate;


 


(ii)              
employ or attempt to employ or assist any individual or other entity to employ any employee of the Company or any subsidiary
or affiliate or to retain any consultant or contractor during any period of time that the business services provided, directly
or indirectly, by such consultant or contractor are exclusively or primarily being provided to the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate, provided, that this clause (ii) shall not preclude an employer of the Executive from offering employment or consulting
or contracting services to anyone without the direct or indirect assistance of the Executive; or


 


(iii)             
for the purpose of competing with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, solicit, endeavor to solicit or otherwise interfere

or supplier of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate at the date hereof and/or at the date of any termination of the Executive’s
employment, (B) was a major customer or supplier of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate at any time within 24 months prior
to the date of any termination of the Executive’s employment; or (C) has been pursued as a prospective major customer or
supplier by or on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate at any time within 12 months prior to the date of any termination
of the Executive’s employment, and in respect of whom the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate has not determined to cease
all such pursuit.





 






    4


     


    

 


 


(c)          
Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that by reason of the Executive’s employment with the Company,
he will have access to Confidential Information and trade secrets of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and that
such Confidential Information and trade secrets are essential components of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates, and are proprietary and would be of great value and benefit to competitors of the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates. “Confidential Information” includes anything respecting the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates
or their respective businesses or operations, and which is not made readily available to the general public including, but not
limited to: (a) the identities, contact information, buying habits or practices of any of the Company’s customers; (b) the
Company’s advertising and marketing strategies, methods, research and related data; (c) the names of any of the Company’s
vendors or suppliers; (d) the cost, type and quantity of materials and/or supplies ordered by the Company; (e) the prices at which
the Company obtains or has obtained or sells or has sold its products or services; (f) the Company’s costs, methods and
objectives (including those methods licensed from other entities); (g) any technical information owned or created by the Company
or licensed from another entity; (h) any inventions, techniques or proprietary methods; (i) any pending or issued patents; (j)
financial or tax records; (k) personal information belonging to the Company’s current or former employees, owners and/or
customers unrelated to terms or conditions of employment (including, but not limited to, Social Security numbers, birthdates,
home addresses and telephone numbers, banking or credit card information, and medical information) (l) any “trade secrets”
as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Defend Trade Secrets Act, New Jersey Trade Secrets Act and applicable
common law or any other Confidential Information of, about, or concerning the business of the Company; and/or (m) such other Confidential
Information or data of any kind, nature, or description as may be designated as “Confidential” from time to time by
the Company. The Executive agrees that both during and after his employment with the Company, he will not disclose to any individual
or other entity, except in the proper course of his employment, or use for his own purposes or for purposes other than those of
the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates, any Confidential Information or trade secrets of the Company or its subsidiaries
or affiliates, acquired by the Executive. If information enters the public domain, except as a result of a breach of this Section
6(c) by the Executive or a breach of another confidentiality agreement to which the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate is
a party, the information will not be deemed Confidential Information or a trade secret protected by this Section 6(c). If the
Executive is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information or trade secrets of the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates,
pursuant to subpoena, an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or other applicable legal authority, the Executive may
disclose such Confidential Information or trade secrets to the extent so required, but will, if possible, (i) provide reasonable
advance notice of the subpoena, court order, or legal authority to the Company, and (ii) afford the Company the reasonable opportunity
to take legal action to contest, challenge, narrow or otherwise limit or condition the disclosure.


 


(d)           Exceptions.
Nothing in this Agreement prohibits Employee from reporting an event that he reasonably and in good faith believes is a
violation of law to the relevant law-enforcement agency including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or from cooperating in an investigation
conducted by such a government agency. This may include disclosure of trade secret or confidential information within the
limitations permitted by the Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”). Under the DTSA, no individual will be held
criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company
that is: (A) made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to
an attorney, and (ii) made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or, (B) made in
a complaint or other document that is filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is
not made public. Further, an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected
violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in
the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (B) does not
disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with the
DTSA or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. Further, nothing in any
agreement the Executive has with the Company shall prohibit or restrict the Executive from making any voluntary disclosure to
any governmental agency or legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization, in each case, without advance notice to the
Company.

(e)          
Nondisparagement. The Executive covenants that during and following the Employment Term, the Executive will not disparage
or encourage or induce others to disparage the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates, together with all of their respective
past and present directors and officers, as well as their respective past and present managers, officers, shareholders, partners,
employees, agents, attorneys, servants and customers and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively, the
 “Company Entities and Persons”). The term “disparage” includes, without limitation, comments or
statements adversely affecting in any manner (i) the conduct of the business of the Company Entities and Persons, or (ii) the business
reputation of the Company Entities and Persons. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall prevent the Executive from providing,
or limiting testimony in any judicial, administrative or legal process or otherwise as required by law, prevent the Executive from
engaging in truthful testimony pursuant to any proceeding under this Section 6 or Section 7 below or prevent the Executive from
making statements in the course of doing his normal duties for the Company.


 


(f)           
Intellectual Property. The Executive’s written and otherwise tangible work product rendered pursuant to this
Agreement is works for hire, and is the sole property of the Company. The Executive shall retain no rights in such written and
otherwise tangible work product. The Executive hereby assigns to the Company any and all right, title and interest he may have
in any written and otherwise tangible work product which he may invent and assist in inventing, while performing the services pursuant
to this Agreement. The Executive hereby assigns to the Company any interest he may have in any inventions, patents, designs, trade
names, trademarks, service marks or other forms of intellectual property which he may create or assist in the creating in the course
of his provision of services pursuant to this Agreement. The Executive shall disclose to the Company all art which he has invented
in the course of rendering services pursuant to this Agreement. The Executive shall assist the Company in securing protection of
intellectual property by signing agreements, assignments and other documents.


 


(g)          
Cooperation. The Executive shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any action or proceeding (or any
appeal from any action or proceeding) which relates to events during the Executive’s employment hereunder. The Company shall
reimburse the Executive for the Executive’s reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, in accordance
with the Company’s policies and subject to the delivery of reasonable support for such expenses.


 


(h)          
Blue Pencil. It is the intent and desire of the Executive and the Company that the provisions of this Section 6 be
enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies as applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement
is sought. If any particular provision of this Section 6 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such covenant shall
be amended, without any action on the part of either party hereto, to delete therefrom the portion so determined to be invalid
or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in
which such adjudication is made.


 






    6


     


    

 


(i)            
Survival. The Executive’s obligations under this Section 6 shall survive the termination of the Employment
Term.


 


(j)            
Restrictions Reasonable. The Executive confirms that all restrictions and covenants in this Section 6 (the “Restrictive
Covenants”) are reasonable and valid, and waives all objections to and defenses to the strict enforcement thereof.


 


7.                 
Remedies for Breach of Obligations under Section 6 hereof. The Executive acknowledges that the Company and its subsidiaries
and affiliates will suffer irreparable injury, not readily susceptible of valuation in monetary damages, if the Executive breaches
the Executive’s obligations under Section 6 hereof. Accordingly, Executive agrees that the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief against
any breach or prospective breach by the Executive of the Executive’s obligations under Section 6 hereof in any Federal or
state court sitting in the State of New Jersey or, at the Company’s election, in any other state in which the Executive maintains
the Executive’s principal residence or the Executive’s principal place of business, without the necessity of showing
actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy. The Executive hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of all those courts for the purposes of any actions or proceedings instituted by the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates
to obtain that injunctive relief, and the Executive agrees that process in any or all of those actions or proceedings may be served
by registered mail, addressed to the last address provided by the Executive to the Company, or in any other manner authorized by
law. Any equitable relief shall be in addition to, and not instead of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available relief.

The Executive shall have the right to resign at any time by giving the Company 30 days’ notice of the termination

in which case the last day of the reduced notice period shall constitute the date of termination.


 






    7


     


    

 


(iii)             
In the event of any such termination pursuant to this Section 8(a), the Company will have no further liability to the Executive
except for payment of (1) any earned but unpaid base salary, (2) any incurred but unreimbursed business expenses, and (3) any accrued
but unused vacation and sick days that exist as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment (together, the “Accrued
Benefits”).


 


(b)           Termination
Without Cause or For Good Reason. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time without Cause or
the Executive may resign at any time for Good Reason (as that term is defined herein) upon 30 days’ advance notice to the
other party (in each case, a “Qualifying Termination”), subject to the Company’s right, at its election,
to reduce the duration of the notice period upon notice to the applicable party, in which case the last day of the reduced notice
period shall constitute the date of termination. In the event of such a Qualifying Termination, the Executive will receive the
Accrued Benefits and, if the Executive (1) executes a commercially reasonable release of any and all claims arising from, or related
to, the Executive’s employment with the Company, which release shall be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B
hereto (the “Release”), and the applicable revocation period with respect thereto expires within 30 days following
the date of termination; and (2) continues to comply with all restrictive covenants and all other material ongoing obligations
to which he is subject (the “Obligations”), then the Company shall:

Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), continue to make monthly contributions in respect of the Executive’s coverage under
the Healthcare Plan for 12 months following the date of termination, in each case, in an amount equal to the contribution the Company
would have made if the Executive had continued to be an active employee (assuming the applicable rates in effect as of the date
of the Executive’s termination of employment); provided that, the Company’s obligations under this Section 8(b)(ii)
shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Executive enrolls in a group health plan offered by another employer
and (ii) the date on which the Executive is no longer eligible for continuation coverage under COBRA; provided further that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event such Company contributions, may, in the Company’s reasonable view, result in tax or other penalties
on the Company, this provision shall terminate and the parties shall, in good faith, negotiate for a substitute provision that
provides substantially a similar benefit to the Executive but does not result in such tax or other penalties; and


 


(iii)             
cause any then-unvested RSUs and options to purchase Menlo common stock held by the Executive to become fully vested and

(c)          
Qualifying Termination in Connection with Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 8(b),
if a Qualifying Termination occurs within the period that is one year following a Change in Control (as defined in the Menlo 2019
Equity Incentive Plan; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the transactions that occurred on and as of the Effective Date
by and between Menlo, Foamix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates shall not constitute a Change
in Control), then the Executive will receive the Accrued Benefits and, if the Executive (1) executes a Release and the applicable
revocation period with respect thereto expires within 55 days following the date of termination and (2) continues to comply with
all Obligations the following will occur:


 


(i)                
the Executive shall be paid a lump sum cash amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of the Executive’s Base Salary then
in effect and the Executive’s Target Bonus for the year of termination, which shall be paid within 60 days following the
date of termination;


 


(ii)              
the Executive shall be paid a lump sum cash amount equal to the Target Bonus for the year of termination multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive was employed with the Company during the calendar year in
which the date of termination occurs, and the denominator of which is 365, which shall be paid within 60 days following the date
of termination;


 


(iii)             
if the Executive qualifies for and timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will continue to make monthly
contributions in respect of the Executive’s coverage under the Healthcare Plan for 18 months following the date of termination,
in each case, in an amount equal to the contribution the Company would have made if the Executive had continued to be an active
employee (assuming the applicable rates in effect as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment); provided
that, the Company’s obligations under this Section 8(c)(ii) shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date on which the
Executive enrolls in a group health plan offered by another employer and (ii) the date on which the Executive is no longer eligible
for continuation coverage under COBRA; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Company contributions,
may, in the Company’s reasonable view, result in tax or other penalties on the Company, this provision shall terminate and
the parties shall, in good faith, negotiate for a substitute provision that provides substantially a similar benefit to the Executive
but does not result in such tax or other penalties;


 


(iv)             
the Executive will receive the Equity Acceleration.


 


(d)           Death or Disability. In the event of the Executive’s death or the termination of the Executive’s employment
as a result of the Executive’s disability (as determined by the Company in good faith), the Company will have no further
liability to the Executive except for payment of the Accrued Benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, a termination of the Executive’s
employment pursuant to this Section 8(d) shall not be considered a Qualifying Termination.


  






    9


     


    

 





(e)          
Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means (i) a material diminution in the Executive’s
Base Salary or Target Bonus (provided that failure to earn a bonus equal to or in excess of the Target Bonus by reason of failure
to achieve applicable performance goals shall not be deemed Good Reason); (ii) a material diminution of the Executive’s
position, responsibilities, duties or authorities from those in effect as of the Effective Date; (iii) any change in reporting
structure such that the Executive is required to report to someone other than the Board; (iv) any material breach by the Company
of its obligations under this Agreement; or (v) a change in the Executive’s primary work location that increases the Executive’s
commute by more than 50 miles. Executive shall provide notice of the existence of the Good Reason condition within 30 days of
the date Executive learns of the condition, and the Company shall have a period of thirty 30 days during which it may remedy the
condition, and in case of full remedy such condition shall not be deemed to constitute Good Reason hereunder.


 


(f)           
Form of Payment for Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to
the extent that the payments and benefits provided pursuant to this Section 8 are determined to be “deferred compensation”
for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor provision thereto (the “Code”), and
to the extent necessary to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the payments and benefits
provided pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid at the same time(s) and in the same form(s) provided in Section 7 of the Previous
Employment Agreement, at all times, in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.


 


9.                 
Certain Tax Treatment


 


(a)          
Golden Parachute Tax. To the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement and benefits provided
to, or for the benefit of, the Executive under any other plan or agreement of the Company or any of its affiliates (such payments
or benefits are collectively referred to as the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise
Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, or any similar tax imposed by state or local law, then such payments and
benefits shall be reduced to the extent necessary such that no Payment to be made or benefit to be provided to the Executive shall
be subject to the Excise Tax (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Limited Payment Amount”),
but only if such reduction results in a higher after-tax payment to the Executive after taking into account the Excise Tax and
any additional taxes (including federal, state and local income taxes, employment, social security and Medicare taxes and all other
applicable taxes) that the Executive would pay if such Payments were not reduced. The determination of the amount of Payments that

20.              
Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly,
to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company
for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A until the Executive would be considered to
have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Each amount to be paid
or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A.
Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order
to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that
would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement or any other arrangement between the Executive and the Company during the
six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business
day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s
date of death). To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to the
Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which
the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in kind benefits provided to the Executive)
during one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. Notwithstanding anything set forth in
Section 8 to the contrary, to the extent necessary to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, the
 “Payment Commencement Date” shall be the 60th day following the date of termination. The Company makes no representation
that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking
to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment.
