BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: MARCH 31, 2011 
 APPROVED BY THE STOCKHOLDERS: JUNE 16, 2011 

 

	1.	GENERAL. 


(a) The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means by which Eligible Employees of the Company and certain designated Related
Corporations may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of Common Stock. The Plan is intended to permit the Company to grant a series of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees under an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 

(b) The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of such 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 and its Related Corporations. 
  

	2.	ADMINISTRATION. 

 (a) The Board shall administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided in Section 2(c). 

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

(i) To determine how and when Purchase Rights to purchase shares of Common Stock shall be granted and the provisions of each
Offering of such Purchase Rights (which need not be identical). 
 (ii) To designate from time to time which Related
Corporations of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 (iii) To construe and interpret the Plan and
Purchase Rights, 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 settle all controversies regarding the Plan and
Purchase Rights granted under it. 
 (v) To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.

 (vi) To amend the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12. 

  
 1 








 (vii) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as it deems
necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and its Related Corporations and to carry out the intent that the Plan be treated as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 

(viii) To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Employees who
are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States. 
 (c) The Board may delegate some or all of the
administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. 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 that have been
delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee),
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 retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any
time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated. Whether or not the Board has delegated administration of the Plan to a Committee, the Board shall have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that
may arise in the administration of the Plan. 
 (d) All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the
Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons. 
  

	3.	SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.


 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the
shares of Common Stock that may be sold pursuant to Purchase Rights shall not exceed in the aggregate four hundred sixty-three thousand three hundred fifty-two (463,352) shares of Common Stock. In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan shall automatically increase on January 1st of each year, commencing in 2012 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2021, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) four percent (4%) of the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, or (ii) one million fifty-three thousand seventy-four (1,053,074) shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act
prior to the first day of any calendar year, to provide that there shall be no increase in the share reserve for such calendar year or that the increase in the share reserve for such calendar year shall be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock
than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. 
 (b) If any Purchase Right granted under the Plan shall
for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such Purchase Right shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. 

(c) The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares
repurchased by the Company on the open market.

	4.	GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHTS; OFFERING. 


(a) The Board may from time to time grant or provide for the grant of Purchase Rights to purchase shares of Common Stock under the
Plan to Eligible Employees in an Offering (consisting of one or more Purchase Periods) on an Offering Date or Offering Dates selected by the Board. Each Offering shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall
deem appropriate, which shall comply with the requirement of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all Employees granted Purchase Rights shall have the same rights and privileges. The terms and conditions of an Offering shall be incorporated by
reference into the Plan and treated 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 twenty-seven (27) months beginning with the Offering Date, and the substance of the provisions contained in Sections 5 through 8,
inclusive. 
 (b) If a Participant has more than one Purchase Right outstanding under the Plan, unless he or she
otherwise indicates in agreements or notices delivered hereunder: (i) each agreement or notice delivered by that Participant shall be deemed to apply to all of his or her Purchase Rights under the Plan, and (ii) a Purchase Right with a
lower exercise price (or an earlier-granted Purchase Right, if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) shall be exercised to the fullest possible extent before a Purchase Right with a higher exercise price (or a later-granted
Purchase Right if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) shall be exercised. 
 (c) The Board shall
have the discretion to structure an Offering so that if the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the first day of a new Purchase Period within that Offering is less than or equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock
on the Offering Date, then (i) that Offering shall terminate immediately, and (ii) the Participants in such terminated Offering shall be automatically enrolled in a new Offering beginning on the first day of such new Purchase Period.

  

	5.	ELIGIBILITY. 

 (a) Purchase Rights may be granted only to Employees of the Company or, as the Board may designate as provided in Section 2(b), to Employees of a Related Corporation. Except as provided in
Section 5(b), an Employee shall not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights under the Plan unless, on the Offering Date, such Employee has been in the employ of the Company or the Related Corporation, as the case may be, for such continuous
period preceding such Offering Date as the Board may require, but in no event shall the required period of continuous employment be greater than two (2) years. In addition, the Board may provide that no Employee shall be eligible to be granted
Purchase Rights under the Plan unless, on the Offering Date, such Employee’s customary employment with the Company or the Related Corporation is more than twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months per calendar year or
such other criteria as the Board may determine consistent with Section 423 of the Code. 
 (b) The Board may provide
that each person who, during the course of an Offering, first becomes an Eligible Employee shall, on a date or dates specified in the Offering which 

  
 3 








 
coincides with the day on which such person becomes an Eligible Employee or which occurs thereafter, receive a Purchase Right under that Offering, which Purchase Right shall thereafter be deemed
to be a part of that Offering. Such Purchase Right shall have the same characteristics as any Purchase Rights originally granted under that Offering, as described herein, except that: 

(i) the date on which such Purchase Right is granted shall be the “Offering Date” of such Purchase Right for all
purposes, including determination of the exercise price of such Purchase Right; 
 (ii) the period of the Offering with
respect to such Purchase Right shall begin on its Offering Date and end coincident with the end of such Offering; and 

(iii) the Board 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 shall not receive any Purchase Right under that Offering. 
 (c) No Employee shall be
eligible for the grant of any Purchase Rights under the Plan if, immediately after any such Purchase 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 Related Corporation. For purposes of this Section 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 Purchase Rights and options shall be treated as stock owned by such Employee. 
 (d) As specified by
Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, an Eligible Employee may be granted Purchase Rights under the Plan only if such Purchase Rights, together with any other rights granted under all Employee Stock Purchase Plans of the Company and any Related
Corporations, do not permit such Eligible Employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Related Corporation 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, and which, with respect to the Plan, shall be determined as of their respective Offering Dates) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time. 

(e) Officers of the Company and any designated Related Corporation, if they are otherwise Eligible Employees, shall be eligible to
participate in Offerings under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may provide in an Offering that 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.	PURCHASE RIGHTS; PURCHASE PRICE. 


(a) On each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee, pursuant to an Offering made under the Plan, shall be granted a Purchase Right
to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock purchasable either with a percentage or with a maximum dollar amount, as designated by the Board, but in either case not exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of such Employee’s earnings
(as defined by the Board in each Offering) during the period that begins on the Offering Date (or such later date as the Board 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. 

  
 4 








 (b) The Board shall establish one (1) or more Purchase Dates during an Offering
as of which Purchase Rights granted pursuant to that Offering shall be exercised and purchases of shares of Common Stock shall be carried out in accordance with such Offering. 
 (c) In connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board may specify a maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by any Participant on any Purchase Date during such
Offering. In connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board may specify a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all Participants pursuant to such Offering. In addition, in connection with each
Offering that contains more than one Purchase Date, the Board may specify a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all Participants on any Purchase Date under the Offering. If the aggregate purchase of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Purchase Rights granted under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then, in the absence of any Board action otherwise, a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available shall
be made in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be practicable and equitable. 
 (d) The purchase price of shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to Purchase Rights shall be not less than the lesser of: 
 (i) an amount equal to
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Offering Date; or 
 (ii) an
amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date. 
  

	7.	PARTICIPATION; WITHDRAWAL; TERMINATION. 


(a) A Participant may elect to authorize payroll deductions pursuant to an Offering under the Plan by completing and delivering to
the Company, within the time specified in the Offering, an enrollment form (in such form as the Company may provide). Each such enrollment form shall authorize an amount of Contributions expressed as a percentage of the submitting Participant’s
earnings (as defined in each Offering) during the Offering (not to exceed the maximum percentage specified by the Board). Each Participant’s Contributions shall be credited to a bookkeeping account for such Participant under the Plan and shall
be deposited with the general funds of the Company except where applicable law requires that Contributions be deposited with a third party. To the extent provided in the Offering, a Participant may begin such Contributions after the beginning of the
Offering. To the extent provided in the Offering, a Participant may thereafter reduce (including to zero) or increase his or her Contributions. To the extent specifically provided in the Offering, in addition to making Contributions by payroll
deductions, a Participant may make Contributions through the payment by cash or check prior to each Purchase Date of the Offering. 
 (b) During an Offering, a Participant may cease making Contributions and withdraw from the Offering by delivering to the Company a notice of withdrawal in such form as the Company may provide. Such
withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of the Offering, except as provided otherwise in the Offering. Upon such withdrawal from the Offering 

  
 5 








 
by a Participant, the Company shall distribute to such Participant all of his or her accumulated Contributions (reduced to the extent, if any, such Contributions have been used to acquire shares
of Common Stock for the Participant) under the Offering, and such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering shall thereupon terminate. A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering shall have no effect upon such Participant’s
eligibility to participate in any other Offerings under the Plan, but such Participant shall be required to deliver a new enrollment form in order to participate in subsequent Offerings. 

(c) Purchase Rights granted pursuant to any Offering under the Plan shall terminate immediately upon a Participant ceasing to be
an Employee for any reason or for no reason (subject to any post-employment participation period required by law) or other lack of eligibility. The Company shall distribute to such terminated or otherwise ineligible Employee all of his or her
accumulated Contributions (reduced to the extent, if any, such Contributions have been used to acquire shares of Common Stock for the terminated or otherwise ineligible Employee) under the Offering. 

(d) Purchase Rights shall not be transferable by a Participant except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or by a
beneficiary designation as provided in Section 10. During a Participant’s lifetime, Purchase Rights shall be exercisable only by such Participant. 
 (e) Unless otherwise specified in an Offering, the Company shall have no obligation to pay interest on Contributions. 

 

	8.	EXERCISE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS. 


(a) On each Purchase Date during an Offering, each Participant’s accumulated Contributions shall be applied to the purchase of
shares of Common Stock up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock 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 Purchase Rights unless specifically provided for in the Offering. 
 (b) If any amount of accumulated
Contributions remains in a Participant’s account after the purchase of shares of Common Stock and such remaining amount is less than the amount required to purchase one share of Common Stock on the final Purchase Date of an Offering, then such
remaining amount shall be held in such Participant’s account for the purchase of shares of Common Stock under the next Offering under the Plan, unless such Participant withdraws from such next Offering, as provided in Section 7(b), or is
not eligible to participate in such Offering, as provided in Section 5, in which case such amount shall be distributed to such Participant after the final Purchase Date, without interest. If the amount of Contributions remaining in a
Participant’s account after the purchase of shares of Common Stock is at least equal to the amount required to purchase one (1) whole share of Common Stock on the final Purchase Date of the Offering, then such remaining amount shall be
distributed in full to such Participant at the end of the Offering without interest. 
 (c) No Purchase Rights may be
exercised to any extent unless the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise under the Plan are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act and the Plan is in material compliance with all


  
 6 








 
applicable federal, state, foreign and other securities and other laws applicable to the Plan. If on a Purchase Date during any Offering hereunder the shares of Common Stock are not so registered
or the Plan is not in such compliance, no Purchase Rights or any Offering shall be exercised on such Purchase Date, and the Purchase Date shall be delayed until the shares of Common Stock are subject to such an effective registration statement and
the Plan is in 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 twenty-seven (27) months from the Offering Date. If, on the Purchase Date
under any Offering hereunder, as delayed to the maximum extent permissible, the shares of Common Stock are not registered and the Plan is not in such compliance, no Purchase Rights or any Offering shall be exercised and all Contributions accumulated
during the Offering (reduced to the extent, if any, such Contributions have been used to acquire shares of Common Stock) shall be distributed to the Participants without interest. 

 

	9.	COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. 


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 Common Stock upon exercise of the Purchase Rights. If, after commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the
authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Purchase Rights
unless and until such authority is obtained. 
  

	10.	DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. 

 (a) A Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and/or 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 of Common Stock or 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. Any such designation shall be on a form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Company. 

(b) The Participant may change such designation of beneficiary at any time by written notice to the Company. 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 of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock 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. 

  
 7 









	11.	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK; CORPORATE
TRANSACTIONS. 

 (a) In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board shall
appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a), (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities by which the share reserve is to increase
automatically each year pursuant to Section 3(a), (iii) the class(es) and number of securities subject to, and the purchase price applicable to outstanding Offerings and Purchase Rights, and (iv) the class(es) and number of securities
imposed by purchase limits under each ongoing Offering. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 (b) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then: (i) any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or
continue Purchase Rights outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar rights (including a right to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the Corporate Transaction) for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) if
any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such Purchase Rights or does not substitute similar rights for Purchase Rights outstanding under the Plan, then the Participants’ accumulated
Contributions shall be used to purchase shares of Common Stock within ten (10) business days prior to the Corporate Transaction under any ongoing Offerings, and the Participants’ Purchase Rights under the ongoing Offerings shall terminate
immediately after such purchase. 
  

	12.	AMENDMENT, TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.


 (i) The Board may amend the Plan at any time in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable.
However, except as provided in Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment of the Plan for which stockholder approval is required by applicable law or listing requirements,
including any amendment that either (i) materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, (ii) materially expands the class of individuals eligible to become Participants and receive Purchase
Rights under the Plan, (iii) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or materially reduces the price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Plan, (iv) materially extends the term of the
Plan, or (v) expands the types of awards available for issuance under the Plan, but in each of (i) through (v) above only to the extent stockholder approval is required by applicable law or listing requirements. 

(b) The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Purchase Rights may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is
suspended or after it is terminated. 
 (c) Any benefits, privileges, entitlements and obligations under any outstanding
Purchase Rights granted before an amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not be impaired by any such amendment, suspension or termination except (i) with the consent of the person to whom such Purchase Rights were granted,
(ii) as necessary to comply with any laws, listing requirements, or governmental regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 423 of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder


  
 8 








 
relating to Employee Stock Purchase Plans) including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the Effective Date, or (iii) as necessary
to obtain or maintain favorable tax, listing, or regulatory treatment. 
  

	13.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. 


The Plan shall become effective on the IPO Date, but no Purchase Rights shall be exercised unless and until the Plan has been approved by
the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. 
  

	14.	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 

 (a) Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Purchase Rights shall constitute general funds of the Company. 

(b) A Participant shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, shares of
Common Stock subject to Purchase Rights unless and until the Participant’s shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of Purchase Rights are recorded in the books of the Company (or its transfer agent). 

(c) The Plan and Offering do not constitute an employment contract. Nothing in the Plan or in the Offering shall in any way alter
the at will nature of a Participant’s employment or be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the part of any Participant to continue in the employ of the Company or a Related Corporation, or on the part of the Company or a
Related Corporation to continue the employment of a Participant. 
 (d) The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by
the laws of the State of California without resort to that state’s conflicts of laws rules.

 ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: JUNE 7, 2011 

In this document, capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the same definitions of such terms as in the Horizon Pharma, Inc.
2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 
  

	1.	GRANT; OFFERING DATE. 

 (a) The Board hereby authorizes a series of Offerings pursuant to the terms of this Offering document. 
 (b) The first Offering hereunder (the “Initial Offering”) shall begin on the IPO Date and shall end on June 1, 2013 approximately twenty four (24) months following
the commencement of the Initial Offering, unless terminated earlier as provided below. The Initial Offering shall consist of four (4) Purchase Periods, approximately six (6) months in length ending on or about June 1 and

consist of four (4) Purchase Periods approximately six (6) months in length ending on or about June 1 and December 1 each year. Except as provided below, a Purchase Date is the last day of a Purchase Period or of an Offering, as
the case may be.

 (e) Prior to the commencement of any Offering, the Board may change any or all terms of such Offering and any
subsequent Offerings. The granting of Purchase Rights pursuant to each Offering hereunder shall occur on each respective Offering Date unless prior to such date (i) the Board determines that such Offering shall not occur, or (ii) no shares
