3.4 Information Exchange. Scientists at Paratek and WCCI shall cooperate in the performance of the Development and, subject to any confidentiality obligations to Third Parties, shall exchange information and materials as necessary to carry out the Development. The Parties expect that such exchange of information and materials may involve short-term on-site visits by scientists of one Party to the facilities of the other Party.

3.5 Paratek Development Activities. If WCCI wishes Paratek to conduct research as part of the Backup Compound Research Program or any Paratek Development activities as part of the Development, other than the research or Development activities specified in the Development Plan, it shall provide Paratek with written notice, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the research or Development activities it wishes Paratek to conduct and the estimated budget and timeframe applicable thereto. Upon receipt of such notice, Paratek will determine in good faith whether it has the resources available, and whether in its sole discretion it wishes, to conduct the Backup Compound Research Program and/or the Development activities. To the extent Paratek agrees to conduct the Backup Compound Research Program and/or the Development activities, it shall provide WCCI with written notice of same, which notice shall include an estimate of the Paratek Total Cost applicable thereto and the Alliance Managers will prepare and execute a Backup Compound Research Plan and/or an amendment to the Development Plan to reflect the research or Development activities, as the case may be, and such estimated Paratek Total Cost applicable thereto. All such research and/or Development activities will be conducted at WCCI’s sole cost and expense.

3.6 Abandoned Compounds; Additional Compounds.

3.6.1 Abandoned Compounds. If, at any time and from time to time during the Term, the JSC determines in good faith that further Development and/or Commercialization, as the case may be, of any Backup Compound, Lead Candidate or Product in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement has ceased to be scientifically, technically or commercially viable,

it will promptly provide written notice thereof to Paratek (each, an .”Abandoned Compound”). Following an Abandoned Compound designation or at any time a Lead Candidate or Product otherwise becomes an Abandoned Compound pursuant to any of the other provisions of this Agreement (a) Paratek or any of its Affiliates may thereafter proceed with development and commercialization of such Abandoned Compound for any and all uses outside of the Field, either alone or in conjunction with Third Parties; (b) all licenses granted by Paratek to WCCI with respect to such Abandoned Compound shall immediately terminate; provided, that, any. abandonment by WCCI pursuant to this Section 3.6.1 shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; and (c) WCCI may, in its discretion, designate a Backup Compound to replace such Lead Candidate (which shall be reflected in an amendment to Schedule 1 hereto) in the Development, whereupon the JSC shall promptly direct the Alliance Managers to prepare an amendment to the Development Plan to describe the activities to be conducted, and the applicable Development Timelines, with respect to such Lead Candidates.

3.6.2 Additional Compounds. If, at any time during the Term, Paratek reasonably determines in good faith that a Paratek Compound is potentially more suitable for Development and Commercialization than the then specified Lead Candidates (such compound, an “Additional Compound”), Paratek shall promptly inform WCCI (the “Additional Compound Notification”) of such determination and WCCI shall have the right to designate such Additional Compound as a Lead Candidate hereunder (which shall be reflected in an amendment to Schedule 1 hereto), it being understood that WCCI must notify Paratek in writing of such designation within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Additional Compound Notification in order to exercise its rights under this Section 3.6.2. For the avoidance of doubt, Paratek shall have no obligation under this Section 3.6.2 to engage in research activities it would not otherwise conduct in the ordinary course of its research and development with respect to Paratek Compounds.

3.7 Rosacea Development Option. If at any time during the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the Initiation of a Phase III Clinical Trial with respect to a Product, WCCI determines in good faith that it intends to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop one or more Lead Candidates for rosacea, WCCI shall give written notice to the JSC specifying such Lead Candidate (the “Rosacea Option Notice”). On or before ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of the Rosacea Option Notice, WCCI shall prepare, for approval by the JSC pursuant to Section 2.2, a Development Plan covering the Development of such Lead Candidate for rosacea. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if WCCI fails to provide the Rosacea Option Notice within the period described in this Section 3.7 or the JSC fails to approve a Development Plan for such Lead Candidate for rosacea in accordance with Section 2.2, the grant to WCCI of the right to Develop and Commercialize Products for rosacea under this Agreement shall convert to a non-exclusive right and Paratek shall thereafter have the unencumbered right to grant one or more Third Parties the non-exclusive right to develop and commercialize any Paratek Compound that is not a Backup Compound, Lead Candidate or Product for rosacea.

Paratek and WCCI each agrees that during the Term and for an additional five (5) years thereafter, it will keep confidential, and will cause its employees, consultants, Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep confidential, all Confidential Information of the other Party, and to limit the use of the Confidential Information of the other Party to those purposes permitted under this Agreement. Each receiving Party shall take such action, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to take such action, to preserve the confidentiality of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it would customarily take to preserve the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, using a level of care that shall not under any circumstances be less than reasonable care. Each receiving Party, upon the request of the disclosing Party, will return all the Confidential Information and Proprietary Materials disclosed or transferred to it by the disclosing Party pursuant to this Agreement, including all copies and extracts of documents and all manifestations in whatever form, within sixty (60) days of such request or, if earlier, the termination or expiration of this Agreement; provided, however, that the receiving Party may retain Confidential Information of the disclosing Party relating to any license which survives such termination and one copy of all other Confidential Information may be retained in inactive archives solely for the purpose of establishing the contents thereof.

6.1.2 Limited Disclosure. Paratek and WCCI each agree that any disclosure of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any officer, employee, consultant, agent, Affiliate or sublicensee of a receiving Party, as the case may be, shall be made only if and to the extent necessary to carry out its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement, shall be limited to the maximum extent possible consistent with such rights and responsibilities and shall only be made to persons who are bound by written confidentiality obligations (including such provision as contained in employment agreements) to maintain the confidentiality thereof and not to use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. Paratek and WCCI each further agree not to disclose or transfer the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any Third Party under any circumstance without the prior written approval from the disclosing Party, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, each receiving Party may disclose information to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) file and prosecute Patent Rights which are filed or prosecuted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) file, prosecute or defend litigation in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) comply with Applicable Law, regulations or court orders; provided, however, that if a receiving Party is required to make any such disclosure of a disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in connection with any of the foregoing, it will give reasonable advance notice to the disclosing Party of such disclosure requirement and will use reasonable efforts to assist such disclosing Party in efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information required to be disclosed. The Parties hereby agree that a copy of this Agreement may be provided by Paratek to Tufts pursuant to Paratek’s obligations under the Tufts License Agreement.

6.1.3 Employees and Consultants. Paratek and WCCI each hereby represents that all of its employees, and all of the employees of its Affiliates, and any consultants to such Party or its Affiliates, in any case that participate in the activities of the Backup Compound Research Program and/or the Development and Commercialization and who shall have access to Confidential Information of the other Party or any of its Affiliates shall be bound by written obligations (including such provision as contained in employment agreements) to maintain such information in confidence and not to use such information except as expressly permitted herein. Each Party agrees to enforce confidentiality obligations to which its employees and consultants (and those of its Affiliates) are obligated.

6.2 Publicity. Neither Party nor any of its Affiliates may publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may make such a disclosure (a) to the extent required by law or by the requirements of any nationally recognized securities exchange, quotation system or over-the-counter market on which such Party has its securities listed or traded or (b) to any investors, prospective investors, lenders and other potential or current financing sources who are obligated to keep such information confidential. In the event that such disclosure is required under clause (a) as aforesaid, the disclosing Party shall make reasonable efforts to provide the other Party with notice beforehand and to endeavor to coordinate with the other Party with respect to the wording and timing of any such disclosure. The Parties, upon the execution of this Agreement, will publicly issue a joint press release, in the form of Schedule 3 attached hereto, with respect to this Agreement and the Parties relationship hereunder. Once such press release or any other written statement is approved for disclosure by both Parties, either Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates, may make subsequent public disclosure of the contents of such statement without the further approval of the other Party. Additionally, from time to time, the Parties may make additional press releases with regard to events occurring under this Agreement, including achievement of milestones, with the prior written consent of both Parties.

6.3 Prohibition on Solicitation. Without the written consent of the other Party, neither Party nor its Affiliates shall, during the Term of this Agreement or for a period of one (1) year following the expiration or termination of the Term, whichever is shorter, solicit any employee of such Party or its Affiliates who participated in the Backup Compound Research Program and/or the Development activities.

7.2.3 License to Paratek Outside the Territory. Upon the request of Paratek, the Parties agree to enter into good faith negotiations with respect to the terms of a license agreement containing royalty provisions and other customary terms, pursuant to which WCCI and its Affiliates would grant to Paratek an exclusive license (even as to WCCI and its Affiliates) (including the right to grant sublicenses, under WCCI Technology (including, without limitation, all Clinical Trial Data) and WCCI Patent Rights and WCCI’s interest in Joint Technology and Joint Patent Rights, to research, have researched, Develop, have Developed, manufacture, have manufactured, use, have used, sell, distribute for sale, have distributed for sale, offer for sale, have sold, import, have imported, otherwise Commercialize and otherwise have Commercialized Products, for any and all uses (including, without limitation any and all uses within the Field) outside the Territory, it being understood that Paratek will covenant in any such license agreement to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prevent any such Products from being imported into the Territory for resale by any Third Party without WCCI’s prior written consent. WCCI shall cause its Affiliates not to grant any rights (whether by license or otherwise) to any Third Party, or otherwise to take any other action, that would impair or adversely affect the ability of such Affiliates to grant to Paratek a license in accordance with this Section 7.2.3.

7.2.4 Bankruptcy. All the negative covenants set forth in Sections 3.8 and 7.1 hereof and the licenses and rights to licenses granted under or pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof by Paratek to WCCI or by WCCI to Paratek are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”), and any such equivalent law in the United States, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Code. The Parties agree that WCCI or Paratek, as a covenantee and licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code, and any such equivalent law, and that upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Paratek or WCCI, as the case may be, under the Code, WCCI or Paratek, as applicable, shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of or complete access to, any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property.

unless Paratek (or the bankruptcy trustee) elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of WCCI upon written request therefor. The foregoing is without prejudice to any rights WCCI may have arising under the Code or other Applicable Law.

7.3 Tufts License Agreement. Paratek entered into the Tufts License Agreement with the Trustees of Tufts College (“Tufts”) that may cover intellectual property rights that are inter alia claiming methods of synthesis for Lead Candidates. Paratek hereby grants to WCCI an exclusive royalty-free sublicense under the license granted to Paratek pursuant to the Tufts License Agreement solely to the extent such sublicense is required by WCCI in order to exercise the license granted to WCCI pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement, without infringing any of the patent rights licensed to Paratek by Tufts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, WCCI and Paratek hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Sections 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 7.1, 8.1, 8.5 and 9.3 and Articles V, XI, and XII of the Tufts License Agreement shall be binding upon WCCI, as a sublicensee under the Tufts License Agreement and such provisions shall be fully enforceable for all purposes related thereto both by Tufts and Paratek.

7.5.1 Payment of Royalties on Products. In further consideration of the grant of the rights and licenses by Paratek hereunder, WCCI shall pay Paratek a royalty based on aggregate Annual Net Sales of all Products sold by WCCI, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees, at the following incremental rates:


Annual Net Sales	Royalty Rate
Annual Net Sales up to $[***]		[***	]%

Portion of Annual Net Sales above $[*] and up to $[*]		[***	]%

Portion of Annual Net Sales above $[***]		[***	]%

7.5.2 Know-How Royalty Rates. If a Product is not covered by a Valid Patent Claim in the Territory, WCCI shall pay Paratek royalties at [***] percent ([***]%) of the applicable rates specified in Section 7.5.1 until expiration of the Royalty Term applicable to such Product. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that royalties that are payable for a Product during the Royalty Term for which no Patent Rights exist shall be in consideration of (a) Paratek’s expertise and know-how concerning the research, manufacture and Development of Compounds in the Field, including development activities conducted prior to the Effective Date; (b) the disclosure by Paratek to WCCI of results obtained in by Paratek in it performance of activities with respect to the Development; and (c) the licenses granted to WCCI hereunder with respect to Licensed Technology and Joint Technology that are not within the claims of any Patent Rights Controlled by Paratek.

7.5.3 Royalty Term. WCCI shall pay royalties with respect to each Product on a Product-by-Product basis during the period (such period, the “Royalty Term”) commencing on the date of First Commercial Sale of such Product in the Territory and continuing for so long as Products are sold in the Territory until the later of the date on which (a) there is no Valid Claim that is included in the Licensed Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights that cover such Product in the Territory and (b) sales of Generic Products by any Third Party in the Territory are equal to at least [***] percent ([***]%) of WCCI’s unit-based market share of the Product in the Territory (as measured by prescriptions or other similar information available in the Territory). For purposes of this Section 7.5.3, a “Generic Product” means a pharmaceutical product that contains the same active ingredient as a Product and that is an AB Rated equivalent (as defined in the 22nd edition of Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations issued by the United States Department of Health and Human Services) to the Product.

7.5.4 Payment Dates and Reports. The royalty payments shall be paid by WCCI within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter in which such Net Sales are made and royalties are owed hereunder. Each such payment shall be made in United States Dollars and shall be accompanied by a report showing the Net Sales of each Product sold by WCCI, any WCCI Affiliate or any Sublicensee, in the Territory, the applicable royalty rate for such Product, and a calculation of the amount of royalty.

7.5.5 Records; Audit Rights. WCCI and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall keep for three (3) years from the date of each payment of royalties complete and accurate records of sales by WCCI and its Affiliates and Sublicensees of each Product, in sufficient detail to allow the accruing royalties to be determined accurately. Paratek shall have the right for a period of three (3) years after receiving any such report or statement to appoint at its expense an independent certified public accountant (bound by written confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set forth in Article 6 hereof) reasonably acceptable to WCCI to inspect the relevant records of WCCI and its Affiliates and Sublicensees to verify such report or statement. WCCI and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall each make its records available for inspection by such independent certified public accountant during their regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from Paratek, solely to verify the accuracy of the reports and payments. Such inspection right shall not be exercised by Paratek more than once in any Calendar Year nor more than once with respect to sales of any Product in any given period. Paratek agrees to hold in strict confidence, and in accordance with

Article 6 hereof, all information concerning such payments and reports, and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary for Paratek to reveal such information in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by law. The results of each inspection, if any, shall be binding on both Parties, absent manifest error. Paratek shall pay for such inspections, except that in the event there is any upward adjustment in the aggregate royalties, payable for any Calendar Year shown by such inspection of more than five percent (5%) of the amount paid, WCCI shall pay for the reasonable costs of such inspection.

7.5.6 Overdue Royalties. All royalties payments not paid within the time period set forth in this Article 7 shall bear interest at a rate of one percent (1%) per month from the due date until paid in full; provided, that, in no event shall such annual rate exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by law in regard to such payments. Such royalty or milestone payment when made shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued.

7.5.7 Withholding Taxes. All payments made or required to be made by WCCI hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any taxes (including withholding taxes to the extent applicable), duties, levies, fees or charges imposed thereon, provided, that, WCCI complies with its obligations set forth below in this Section 7.5.7 prior to making any payment to Paratek hereunder. WCCI shall make (or cause to be made) any applicable withholding payments due on behalf of Paratek and shall promptly provide (or cause to be provided) Paratek with written documentation of any such payment sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the United States Internal Revenue Service relating to an application by Paratek for a foreign tax credit for such payment.

ARTICLE 9: FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PATENT RIGHTS

9.1 Patent Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance. The JSC shall determine the jurisdictions within the Territory in which patent applications will be filed with respect to Joint Patent Rights. Subject to the foregoing, the responsibility for filing, prosecution and maintaining Patent Rights shall be as follows:

9.1.1 Patent Filing. During the Term and thereafter during any period of time during which WCCI shall have a license under this Agreement to Paratek Patent Rights or to Joint Patent Rights, with respect to any Patent Rights arising hereunder:

(a) Paratek, at its sole expense and acting through patent attorneys or agents of its choice, shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Patent Rights relating to the Paratek Technology. At Paratek’s request, WCCI shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Paratek, at Paratek’s expense, in connection with such activities.

(b) WCCI, at its sole expense and acting through patent attorneys or agents of its choice, shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Patent Rights relating to the WCCI Technology. At WCCI’s request, Paratek shall reasonably cooperate with and assist WCCI, at WCCI’s expense, in connection with such activities.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Article 11 hereof, neither Party makes any warranty with respect to the validity, perfection or dominance of any patent or other proprietary right or with respect to the absence of rights in Third Parties which may be infringed by the manufacture or sale of any Product. Each Party agrees to bring to the attention of the other Party any patent or patent application it discovers applicable to the subject matter of this Agreement, which relates to the rights of either Party under this Agreement.

(d) Unless the Parties otherwise agree, (i) Paratek, acting through patent counsel or agents of its choice, shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights outside of the Territory; and (ii) WCCI, acting through patent counsel or agents of its choice, shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights within the Territory. The Parties shall share equally the control and the fees of counsel and the other costs and expenses related to patents and patent applications claiming inventions that are Joint Technology. Should one Party desire not to share in the control, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such patent or patent applications or shall fail to bear its share of the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting or maintaining any such patent or patent applications (and, in the case of such failure, if such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure from the participating Party), the non-participating Party hereby assigns (or shall cause to be assigned) to the other Party all right, title and interest in and to such patent or patent application, and the Joint Technology claimed therein, and the participating Party shall gain sole control of the filing, prosecution or maintenance of such patents or patent applications, which shall be deemed to be the Technology of such participating Party.

9.1.2 Information and Cooperation. Each Party responsible for filing patents and any Patent Rights (other than with respect to WCCI Technology) described in this Agreement (the “Filing Party”) shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status of the Patent Rights for which it is responsible in accordance with this Article 9 (other than with respect to WCCI Technology). The Filing Party shall provide the other Party with (a) copies of all filings and correspondence with the patent offices, administrative boards or courts which the Filing Party sends or receives in connection with filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of the Patent Rights for which it is responsible (other than with respect to WCCI Technology), and (b) copies of filings and correspondence referred to in the foregoing clause (a) sufficiently in advance of the due date so as to give the other Party sufficient time to comment and shall give good faith consideration to the other Party’s comments. The Filing Party shall seek the advice of the other Party with respect to strategy for the Patent Rights for which it is responsible (other than with respect to WCCI Technology) and shall give reasonable consideration to any suggestions or recommendations of the other Party concerning the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of such Patent Rights.

9.1.3 Abandonment. If Paratek decides to abandon or to allow to lapse any of the Paratek Patent Rights in the Territory, Paratek shall inform WCCI of such decision promptly and, in any event, a reasonable amount of time prior to any applicable deadline that may be necessary to establish or preserve such Paratek Patent Rights. WCCI shall have the right to assume responsibility for continuing the prosecution of such Paratek Patent Rights and paying any required fees to maintain such Paratek Patent Rights in the Territory or defending such Paratek Patent Rights, in each case at WCCI’s sole expense and through patent counsel of its choice. WCCI shall not become an assignee of such Paratek Patent Rights as a result of its assumption of such responsibility under this Section 9.1.3 and such Paratek Patent Rights shall remain subject to this Agreement. Upon transfer of Paratek’s responsibility for prosecuting, maintaining and defending any of the Paratek Patent Rights to WCCI under this Section 9.1.3, Paratek shall promptly deliver to WCCI copies of all necessary files related to the Paratek Patent Rights with respect to which responsibility has been transferred and shall take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary for WCCI to assume such prosecution, maintenance and defense.

9.2 Legal Action.

9.2.1 Actual or Threatened Infringement.

(a) In the event either Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates becomes aware of any possible infringement or unauthorized possession, knowledge or use of any Technology that is the subject matter of this Agreement, including any Joint Technology, in connection with the discovery, research, development, manufacture, use, sale import or commercialization of (i) a Paratek Compound in the Field, or (ii) a Lead Candidate or Product within or outside of the Field (collectively, an “Infringement”), that Party shall promptly notify the other Party and provide it with full details (an “Infringement Notice”).

(b) WCCI shall have the first right and option, but not the obligation, to prosecute or prevent an Infringement as WCCI will consider appropriate. If WCCI does not commence an action to prosecute, or otherwise take steps to prevent or terminate the Infringement within one hundred eighty (180) days from any Infringement Notice, then, except with respect to WCCI Technology, Paratek shall have the right and option to take such action as Paratek will consider appropriate to prosecute or prevent such Infringement unless (i) the Infringement is a Tufts IP Infringement, in which case Tufts shall have the right and option to take such action as Tufts will consider appropriate to prosecute or prevent such Infringement or (ii) the provisions of Section 9.2.1(c) below shall not permit Paratek to prosecute or prevent such Infringement. Any and all recoveries from any action for infringement shall be shared as follows: (1) if such Infringement is a Tufts IP Infringement and WCCI is prosecuting such action for Infringement, Tufts shall be paid [***] percent ([***]%) of any and all such recoveries, net of costs incurred by WCCI for prosecuting the action, and WCCI shall retain the remaining balance and such remaining balance (net of costs incurred by WCCI for prosecuting the action) shall be treated as Net Sales, subject to the payment of royalties to Paratek in accordance with this

Agreement; (2) if such Infringement is a Tufts IP Infringement and Paratek is prosecuting such action for Infringement, Tufts shall be paid [***] percent ([***]%) of any and all such recoveries, net of costs incurred by Paratek for prosecuting the action, and the net balance remaining (net of costs incurred by Paratek for prosecuting the action) shall be retained by Paratek and [***] between Paratek and WCCI, respectively; (3) if such Infringement is a Tufts IP Infringement and Tufts is prosecuting such action for Infringement, Tufts shall be entitled to retain from such recoveries an amount equal to the costs incurred by Tufts in prosecuting such action plus [***] percent ([***]%) of the remaining balance, and the balance remaining after payment of all amounts due to Tufts shall be retained by WCCI and treated as Net Sales; (4) if such Infringement is not a Tufts IP Infringement and WCCI is prosecuting such action for Infringement, such recoveries shall be allocated first, to reimburse WCCI and Paratek for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses) and then WCCI shall treat and all such recoveries as Net Sales for purposes of this Agreement, subject to the payment of royalties to Paratek in accordance with this Agreement; and (5) if such Infringement is not a Tufts IP Infringement and Paratek is prosecuting such action for Infringement, such recoveries shall be allocated first, to reimburse WCCI and Paratek for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses) and the balance shall be [***] between Paratek and WCCI, respectively. If either of WCCI or Paratek determines that it is necessary for the other Party or any of its Affiliates to join any such suit, action or proceeding, the necessary Party shall, upon written notice from the prosecuting Party, execute (or cause to be executed) all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required in the circumstances; provided, however, neither Party nor such Party’s Affiliates shall be required to transfer any right, title or interest in or to any property to any other Party or any Third Party to confer standing on a Party hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.2.1(b) express or implied to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Section 10.2.5(b)(iii), in no event shall Paratek have the right to prosecute or prevent the Infringement of or relating to (i) WCCI Patent Rights or WCCI Technology or (ii) Paratek Patent Rights, Joint Patent Rights, Paratek Technology or Joint Technology to the extent they pertain solely to Products, Lead Candidates or rights that have been licensed exclusively to WCCI pursuant to Section 7.2.1. Nothing in this Section 9.2.1(c) is intended to limit the rights of Tufts under the Tufts License Agreement and WCCI hereby acknowledges that Tufts may have the right under the Tufts License Agreement to prosecute or prevent an Infringement that Paratek does not have the right to prosecute or prevent by virtue of the provisions of this Section 9.2.1(c).

(d) In any action under this Section 9.2.1, the Parties and their respective Affiliates shall fully cooperate with and assist each other. No suit under this Section 9.2.1 may be settled without the approval of the JSC provided, however, any settlement by which Tufts would incur any obligation or liability, whether for the payment of money, the taking of any action, the refraining from any action, or otherwise, shall require the advance written consent of Tufts, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of Tufts without relieving WCCI or Paratek, as the case may be, of any of its indemnification or other obligations hereunder to Tufts.

9.2.2 Defense of Claims.

(a) In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Paratek or WCCI or any Affiliate or sublicensee of either Party alleging the infringement of the Technology or intellectual property rights of a Third Party by reason of the discovery, development, manufacture, use, sale, importation or offer for sale of a Product or use of WCCI Technology, Paratek Technology or Joint Technology in the discovery, Development, Commercialization, manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or importation of a Product, then WCCI shall have the sole right and obligation to defend itself and Paratek in such action, suit or proceeding at its sole expense, unless such action, suit or proceeding alleges that the infringement arises from or otherwise pertains to the use of Paratek Technology by Paratek or WCCI to synthesize, generate, make and develop Paratek Compounds, Lead Candidates or Products in which case WCCI shall have the right (but not the obligation) to defend Paratek in such action, suit or proceeding at its sole expense. Paratek shall have the right to separate counsel at its own expense in any action, suit or proceeding being defended by WCCI pursuant to this Section 9.2.2(a). The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Parties will give each other prompt written notice of the commencement of any such suit, action or proceeding or claim of infringement and will furnish each other a copy of each communication relating to the alleged infringement. Neither Party nor such Party’s Affiliates shall compromise, settle or otherwise dispose of any such suit, action or proceeding which involves the other’s Technology or Patent Rights without the other Party’s advice and prior consent if such compromise, settlement or other disposition would impair any rights retained by such other Party or any of its Affiliates to use such Technology or Patent Rights, provided that the Party not defending the suit shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any settlement. If the defending Party agrees that the other Party or any of its Affiliates should institute or join any suit, action or proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.2.2(a), the defending Party may at its expense, join the other Party or any of its Affiliates as a party to the suit, action or proceeding, and the Party or Affiliate so joined shall execute all documents and take all other actions, including giving testimony, which may reasonably be required in connection with the prosecution of such suit, action or proceeding.

(b) To the extent that the allegation of infringement is based principally on the use of Joint Technology, such expenses shall be borne equally by the Parties.

(c) If as a consequence of such action, suit or proceeding by a Third Party claiming that the discovery, development, manufacture, use or sale of a Product infringes such Third Party’s intellectual property rights, the Parties shall examine and discuss in good faith the consequences of such prohibition or restriction or other conditions on this Agreement and on possible modifications thereto; provided, however, no action will be taken without the agreement of both Parties.

ARTICLE 13: DISPUTE RESOLUTION

13.1 Dispute Resolution.

13.1.1 Escalation to Executive Officers. In the event of any dispute arising between the Parties in connection with this Agreement, the construction thereof, or the rights, duties or liabilities of either Party and such Party’s Affiliates, then such dispute shall be escalated to the respective Executive Officers of the Parties for resolution. If the Executive Officers cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days, then, except as otherwise set forth herein, such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration as set forth in Section 13.1.2 below.

13.1.2 Arbitration. Binding arbitration shall occur under the then current Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration and supervision of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), except as otherwise provided herein. If the dispute involves a claim for money in the amount of $[***] ([***] dollars) or less and does not involve any claims relating to ownership, use, or disclosure of intellectual property (other than a claim of unlawful ownership, use or disclosure of intellectual property arising solely from a failure to pay a license fee or royalty), the arbitration shall be before a single neutral arbitrator whom WCCI and Paratek shall select from a panel of persons knowledgeable in the field of drug and pharmaceuticals development and distribution; otherwise, the arbitration shall be before three arbitrators, one selected by WCCI, one selected by Paratek, and the third selected by the two arbitrators selected. Within thirty (30) days after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA. In the event the arbitrators seek the guidance of the law of any jurisdiction, the laws of the State of New York shall govern. All arbitration proceedings will take place in New York, New York. Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration decision is rendered or the dispute is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any right or remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending resolution of the dispute pursuant to this

Section 13.1.2. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall not have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages. The decision and award of the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final and binding and the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. WCCI and Paratek shall each pay its own attorney’s fees associated with the arbitration, and shall pay the other costs and expenses of the arbitration as the rules of the AAA provide. The arbitrators shall make their decision known to both Parties as quickly as possible by delivering written notice of their decision to both Parties. The Parties shall agree in writing to comply with the proposal selected by the arbitration panel within five (5) days of receipt of notice of such selection. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties, and specific performance may be ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.1.1 hereof or this 13.1.2, Paratek and WCCI may each petition a court of law for injunctive relief to protect its respective intellectual property or confidential information.

Warner Chilcott and Paratek Pharmaceuticals Sign Collaboration Agreement

for Novel, Narrow-Spectrum Agents for Acne and Rosacea

FAJARDO, Puerto Rico and BOSTON, Mass., July 9, 2007 - Warner Chilcott Company, Inc. and Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that the two companies have entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialization of novel, narrow-spectrum tetracyclines for the treatment of acne and rosacea.

Tetracycline antibiotics are the leading approved systemic treatments of moderate to severe inflammatory acne. Discovered decades ago as broad-spectrum systemic antibiotics, tetracyclines have been shown to be potent anti-acne agents. Paratek has utilized its expertise in chemistry to develop novel narrow-spectrum antibacterial tetracyclines with improved anti-inflammatory activity, tolerability and other properties for the next generation treatment of acne and rosacea. These compounds represent the first tetracycline-derived new molecular entities ever to be synthesized specifically as improved therapeutics for dermatologic diseases.

“We look forward to a productive collaboration with Paratek as we work together to progress Paratek’s novel tetracycline products through the development process and into commercialization” said Roger Boissonneault, Chief Executive Officer and President of Warner Chilcott.

“We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Warner Chilcott, a proven leader in the development and commercialization of dermatology products,” said Stuart B. Levy, M.D., Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Paratek Pharmaceuticals. “For years, dermatologists have sought therapies with a more targeted spectrum of activity. While effective, currently marketed tetracyclines possess antibacterial activity against a broad number of organisms not associated with acne or rosacea, which can lead to adverse consequences such as resistance development among life-threatening bacteria and persistent side effects. Paratek’s proprietary compounds have been designed to circumvent these issues by better targeting the causative bacteria and retaining potent anti-inflammatory properties.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Warner Chilcott will assume responsibility for clinical development of the tetracycline derivative products and will have exclusive rights to market the products in the United States. Paratek received an up-front payment and will be eligible to receive additional payments upon achievement of certain development and regulatory approval milestones. Warner Chilcott will pay a royalty to Paratek on sales of any product under the agreement.

The leading candidate under the agreement is in preclinical development and expected to enter clinical development in 2008.

Warner Chilcott Company Inc. is a subsidiary of Warner Chilcott Limited (Nasdaq: WCRX).
