ULTHERA, INC. 

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION PROGRAM 

Non-employee members of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Ulthera, Inc. (the
“Company”) shall be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation as set forth in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (this “Program”), which is being adopted pursuant to the
Board’s resolutions on April 25, 2014. The cash and equity compensation described in this Program shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not an
employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) who may be eligible to receive such cash or equity compensation, unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of
such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company. This Program shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. This Program may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time in
its sole discretion. The terms and conditions of this Program shall supersede any prior cash and/or equity compensation arrangements for service as a member of the Board between the Company and any of its Non-Employee Directors. This Program shall
become effective on the date of the closing of the initial public offering of Company common stock (the “Effective Date”). 

1. Cash Compensation. 

(a) Annual Retainers. Each Non-Employee Director shall be eligible to receive an annual retainer of $40,000 for service
on the Board. 
 (b) Additional Annual Retainers. In addition, a Non-Employee Director shall receive the following
annual retainers: 
 (i) Chairman of the Board. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairman of the Board shall
receive an additional annual retainer of $50,000 for such service. 
 (ii) Audit Committee. A Non-Employee Director
serving as Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $18,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Audit Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual
retainer of $9,000 for such service. 
 (iii) Compensation Committee. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson
of the Compensation Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Compensation Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer
of $5,000 for such service. 
 (vi) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A Non-Employee Director serving
as Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $8,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (other than
the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $4,000 for such service. 
 (c) Payment of Retainers.
The annual retainers described in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter and shall be paid by the Company in arrears not later than the fifteenth day following the end of each calendar quarter. In the
event a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable positions described in Section 1(b), for an entire calendar quarter, the retainer paid to such Non-Employee Director shall be

 
prorated for the portion of such calendar quarter actually served as a Non-Employee Director, or in such position, as applicable. 

2. Equity Compensation. Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below. The awards described
below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (the “Equity
Plan”) and shall be granted subject to the execution and delivery of award agreements, including attached exhibits, in substantially the forms previously approved by the Board. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this
Program as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of stock options hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan. 

(a) IPO Awards. A Non-Employee Director who (i) is serving on the Board as of the Effective Date and
(ii) will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately the Effective Date, shall be automatically granted, on the date of the Effective Date, an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The awards
described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as “IPO Awards.” 
 (b) Initial
Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board after the Effective Date shall be eligible to receive, on the date of such initial election or appointment, an option to purchase that number of shares of the
Company’s common stock such that the award has an aggregate Grant Date Fair Value (as defined below) equal to the product of (i) $100,000 and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that will elapse from the date
of such initial election or appointment through the estimated date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders after such initial election or appointment and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty five (365), rounded down
to the nearest whole share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan). The awards described in this Section 2(a) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.” No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than
one Initial Award. For the purposes of this Program, “Grant Date Fair Value” shall mean the fair value of an award as of the date of grant as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment”, using
the Black-Scholes pricing model and the valuation assumptions used by the Company in accounting for options as of such date of grant. 

(c) Subsequent Awards. A Non-Employee Director who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately
following such meeting, shall be automatically granted, on the date of such annual meeting, an option to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock such that the award has an aggregate Grant Date Fair Value equal to $100,000,
rounded down to the nearest whole share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan). The awards described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as “Subsequent Awards.” For the avoidance of doubt, a
Non-Employee Director elected for the first time to the Board at an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders shall only receive an Initial Award in connection with such election, and shall not receive any Subsequent Award on the date of
such meeting as well. 
 (c) Termination of Service of Employee Directors. Members of the Board who are employees of
the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company who subsequently terminate their service with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company and remain on the Board will not receive an Initial Award pursuant to Section 2(a)
above, but to the extent that they are otherwise eligible, will be eligible to receive, after termination from service with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, Subsequent Awards as described in Section 2(b) above. 

(d) Terms of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors 

  
 2 

 (i) Purchase Price. The per share exercise price of each option granted
to a Non-Employee Director shall equal the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Equity Plan) of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted; provided that the exercise price per share of each IPO Award shall be equal to the
price per share to the public in the Company’s initial public offering, as set forth on the cover of the final prospectus of the initial public offering of Company common stock. 

(ii) Vesting. Each IPO Award shall vest and become exercisable in full on the earlier of (A) the first
anniversary of the date of grant or (B) immediately prior to the 2015 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through each such vesting date. Each Initial Award
and each Subsequent Award shall vest and become exercisable in full on the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the date of grant or (B) immediately prior to the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders after the date of
grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through such vesting date. No portion of an Initial Award or Subsequent Award which is unvested or unexercisable at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination
of service on the Board shall become vested and exercisable thereafter. All of a Non-Employee Director’s Initial Awards and Subsequent Awards, and any other stock options or other equity-based awards outstanding and held by the Non-Employee
Director, shall vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), to the extent outstanding at such time. 

(iii) Term. The term of each stock option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall be ten (10) years from the
date the option is granted. 
 3. Reimbursements. The Company shall reimburse each Non-Employee Director for all
reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket travel and other business expenses incurred by such Non-Employee Director in the performance of his or her duties to the Company in accordance with the Company’s applicable expense reimbursement policies
and procedures as in effect from time to time.

to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences in accordance with Antitrust Law and (vi) permit the other party to review and incorporate the other party’s reasonable comments in any communication given to it by the FTC, the
DOJ or any other Governmental Authority; provided, however, that no such information will be required to be provided by either the Purchaser or the Seller if such party reasonably determines that the provision of such information would jeopardize
attorney-client privilege or other legal privilege. 
 (d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in
Section 4.4(b) and Section 4.4(c), if any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any antitrust law, or if any suit is instituted or threatened to be instituted by the
FTC, the DOJ, or any other applicable Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise brought under any antitrust law or other applicable law that would otherwise prohibit or
materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Purchaser and the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or suits so as to permit consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations for the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other antitrust law, the Purchaser shall not be required to propose, negotiate, or commit to and effect by consent agreement or decree, hold separate order or otherwise any divestiture,
undertaking, licensing or hold separate or similar arrangements. 
 (e) Subject to the obligations of the parties under
Section 4.4(d), in the event that any action, arbitration, audit, claim, demand, examination, external investigation, hearing, inquiry, litigation or suit (each, a “Proceeding”) is instituted (or threatened to be
instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private party challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, each of the Purchaser and the Seller 

  
 8 

 
will cooperate in all respects with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any judgment,
whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 6.1
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated on or prior to the Closing as follows: 
 (a) by the mutual written consent of the
Purchaser and the Seller; 
 (b) at the election of the Purchaser or the Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before
June 15, 2014 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the terminating party is not in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein at the time of such
termination; 
 (c) by the Purchaser (if it is not in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this

Seller, if there has been a material violation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement, which violation, breach or inaccuracy would cause any of the conditions set forth
in Section 4.2(b) or 4.2(c) not to be satisfied, and such violation, breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by the Purchaser or cured by the Seller, as applicable, within ten (10) business days after receipt by the Seller

 6.2 Effect of
Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by the parties in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force

 7.6 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made
between residents of that state, executed in and to be performed entirely within that state, notwithstanding the Parties’ actual respective states of legal domicile. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in the Southern District of New York, New York, and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
court in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to such Party at its address specified in Section 7.5. The Parties agree that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 7.6 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. The consents to
jurisdiction set forth in this Section 7.6 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 7.6 and shall
not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties. 
 (b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT
MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT 

  
 12 

 
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE SUCH WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.6(b). 
 7.7 Descriptive Headings; References. The descriptive headings used in this
Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way be construed to define, limit, describe, explain, modify, amplify, or add to the interpretation, construction or meaning of any provision of, or scope or intent of, this
Agreement or in any way affect this Agreement. 
 7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. An executed counterpart signature page to this Agreement delivered by fax or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an
original and shall be as effective for all purposes as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. 
 7.9 Further Actions. Each
Party shall, from time to time and without further consideration, execute such further documents or instruments and take such other actions as any other Party hereto shall reasonably request in order to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement
and to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. 
 7.10 Fees and Expenses. Except as provided in Section 7.11, all
costs and expenses (including legal and financial-advisory fees and expenses, if any) incurred in connection with, or in anticipation of, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid exclusively by the Party
incurring such expenses, without contribution. 
 7.11 Survival; Breach of Agreement. The representations, warranties, agreements and
covenants set forth herein shall survive the Closing indefinitely. Should a Party breach this Agreement, in addition to, and without limiting, all other rights and remedies available under applicable law (which rights and remedies shall be
cumulative and elective), then such Party shall be responsible for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the other Parties in enforcing their respective rights hereunder against such breaching Party, including any
fees and expenses of financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other professionals. 
 7.12 Severability. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement (other than Article V) in any situation or jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other terms or provisions of this Agreement or the validity or
enforceability 

  
 13 

 
of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction, and the remaining terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent
permitted by law. 
 7.13 No Presumption. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement
shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 

7.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and
permitted assigns, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any remedy, claim of liability or reimbursement, cause of action or other right. 

7.15 Non-Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity or
granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with or relate in any manner to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or
warranty made in connection with or as an inducement to this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereby may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement in the
preamble to this Agreement. No other Person, including any of their representatives or lenders to, any party or any representative of, or any lender to any of the foregoing shall have any liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in
equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution,
performance or breach. 
 7.16 Specific Performance. Each of the Parties expressly recognize and acknowledge that immediate,
extensive and irreparable damage would result, no adequate remedy at law would exist, and damages would be difficult to determine in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is
otherwise breached. Therefore, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy available to any Party, a Party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving
the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the posting of any bond or other security being required. Such remedies, and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, shall be cumulative in nature and not exclusive and shall
be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever which any Party may otherwise have. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable
substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement
does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party further agrees that in the event of any action by any other Party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it
will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other
grounds.
