Paratek and WCCI shall each provide the other the right to inspect and copy such records to the extent reasonably required for the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that, such records shall be Confidential Information of the disclosing Party and subject to Article 6 hereof. 3.3.2. Development Updates. WCCI shall keep the Paratek Alliance Manager regularly informed of the progress of the conduct of Development activities under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, WCCI shall, at least once per Calendar Quarter (a) provide updates to the Paratek Alliance Manager in reasonable detail regarding the status of the conduct of all Development activities and shall present to the Paratek Alliance Manager all data and results generated in connection with such activities, and (b) provide the Paratek Alliance Manager with such additional information regarding the conduct of such Development activities that it has in its possession as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Paratek Alliance Manager. 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
![slide18](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1178711/000117871122000016/exhibit101018.jpg)
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
![slide19](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1178711/000117871122000016/exhibit101019.jpg)
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. 3.8. Exclusive Periods. 3.8.1. Development of Lead Candidates. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for so long as WCCI is Developing at least one Lead Candidate in accordance with its obligations under Section 3.9.2, (i) Paratek and its Affiliates shall not grant any rights (whether by license or otherwise) to any Third Party to any Backup Compound or Lead Candidate in the Territory that has not become an Abandoned Compound, and (ii) Paratek and its Affiliates shall not research, develop or commercialize any Backup Compound or Lead Candidate in the Territory that has not become an Abandoned Compound in collaboration with, at the request of, or for the benefit (in whole or in part) of any Third Party (other than pursuant to non- commercial collaborations in accordance with Section 7.1.3 hereof). 3.8.2. Commercialization of Products. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for so long as WCCI is Commercializing a Product in accordance with its obligations under Section 3.9.2, (i) Paratek and its Affiliates shall not grant any rights (whether by license or otherwise) to any Third Party to such Product in the Territory (including, without limitation, any rights to the Lead Candidate from which such Product is Derived) and (ii) Paratek and its Affiliates shall not research, develop or commercialize such Product in the Territory (including, without limitation, any rights to the Lead Candidate from which such Product is Derived) in collaboration with, at the request of, or for the benefit (in whole or in part) of any Third Party. 3.9. Due Diligence. 3.9.1. Paratek Obligations. Paratek agrees that it will (a) undertake the responsibilities assigned to it, as set forth in this Article 3 and in the Development Plan and any Backup Compound Research Plan, if any; including, but not limited to, the dedication of resources to such efforts as set forth in the Development Plan and such Backup Compound Research Plan; and (b) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform the activities assigned to Paratek in this Article 3 and in the Development Plan and such Backup Compound Research., Plan in a professional and timely manner (collectively, the “Paratek Diligence Obligation”).

![slide20](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1178711/000117871122000016/exhibit101020.jpg)
and in the Development Plan in a professional and timely manner; (b) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop Lead Candidates for Commercialization as a Product in the Field in the Territory in accordance with the Development Timelines; and (c) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize at least one Product in the Field in the Territory. WCCI may satisfy its obligations under this Section 3.9.2 either itself or through WCCI Affiliates, Sublicensees and/or contract research organizations. For the avoidance of doubt, WCCI shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 3.9.2 if it uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize a Product solely with respect to an acne indication until such time as the JSC approves a Development Plan with respect to rosacea in accordance with Section 3.7. 3.9.3. Breach of WCCI Diligence Obligation. (a) Paratek may provide WCCI with written notice of any material breach by WCCI of its covenants set forth in Section 3.9.2 hereof that is not caused by Paratek’s failure to meet a Paratek Diligence Obligation pursuant to Section 3.9.1 above (a “WCCI Diligence Failure”), at any time Paratek reasonably believes a WCCI Diligence Failure has taken place. Such written notice (a “Diligence Failure Notice”) shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the alleged failure and shall request written justification, in the form of detailed reasons, that would support the proposition that WCCI is meeting such diligence obligations. in such event, WCCI shall provide such written justification to Paratek within thirty (30) days after such Diligence Failure Notice is given and shall identify any Commercially Reasonable Justification applicable thereto. If Paratek does not receive a Commercially Reasonable Justification from WCCI within such thirty (30) day period or if Paratek and WCCI are not able to resolve any disagreement with respect to a WCCI Diligence Failure within sixty (60) days after WCCI’s receipt of the Diligence Failure Notice, then either Paratek or WCCI, acting alone, may at any time following WCCI’s receipt of such Diligence Failure Notice by delivery to the. other Party of a written notice indicating such Party’s election to have the disagreement resolved by arbitration, cause the matter to be submitted to binding arbitration under Section 13.1.2 hereof; provided that (i) the arbitrators shall be entitled to review and resolve only whether or not a WCCI Diligence Failure occurred during the applicable reporting period of time that is the subject of such disagreement, and (ii) the arbitrators shall be individuals who are knowledgeable in the field of the development, manufacture, and sale of drugs and drug products, and shall have no current or prior business relationships with Paratek, WCCI or any of their respective Affiliates. (b) If the arbitrator determines that a WCCI Diligence Failure occurred, then Paratek’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be, on a Product-by-Product basis as to the Product with respect to which such WCCI Diligence Failure occurred to (i) terminate any or all of the licenses and rights granted under Section 7.2.1 hereof and the restrictions of Sections 3.8 and 7.1.1, or (ii) convert the licenses and rights granted under any or all of Section 7.2.1 from exclusive licenses to non-exclusive licenses and terminate the restrictions of Sections 3.8 and 7.1.1, in either case only as such licenses and rights apply to such Product, which termination and/or conversion, as the case may be, shall be at the discretion of Paratek and he effective sixty (60) days after Paratek gives written notice to WCCI specifying the remedy that Paratek is electing to exercise under this Section 3.9.3.

(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.

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
![slide35](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1178711/000117871122000016/exhibit101035.jpg)
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.

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 Xxxxxxx, 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. ARTICLE 14 : MISCELLANEOUS 14.1. Notices.

Assignment and Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any obligation of a Party hereunder may be assigned by either Party without the consent of the other which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that each Party may assign this Agreement and the rights, obligations and interests of such Party, in whole or in part, (i) to any of its Affiliates or (ii) to any purchaser of all of its assets and/or all of its assets to which this Agreement relates or to any successor corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation of such Party with or into such corporation (an “Acquiror”); provided, however, that in the case of any Affiliate of a Party, such Affiliate shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement that apply to the rights or obligations assigned to such Affiliate, all to the same extent that the assigning Party is bound, and in the case of any such Acquiror, such Acquiror shall execute a written instrument for the benefit of the non-assigning Party agreeing to become bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the same extent that the assigning or selling Party is bound. Whenever any provision of this Agreement expressly provides that any Affiliate or Affiliates of a Party shall be entitled to enjoy any right under this Agreement or shall be burdened or required to be burdened by any obligation under this Agreement, then such Affiliate or Affiliates shall be deemed and treated as permitted assignees of such Party with respect to such right, to the extent that such Affiliate or Affiliates shall actually exercise such right, and shall be deemed and treated as permitted assignees of such Party with respect to such obligation, in either case without any assignment or assumption agreement or any other act being required to be taken by such Party or such Affiliate or Affiliates to evidence the assignment of such right or obligation, as the case may be. Each Party shall be responsible and liable to the other Party for any failure by any Affiliate of such Party to perform any obligation that is expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement to be performed by such Affiliate. Any permitted assignment under this Section 14.9 shall not operate as a release or discharge of any obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and each Party shall be responsible and liable to the other Party for any failure by any permitted assignee of such Party to perform any obligation under this Agreement that has been assigned or deemed to be assigned by such Party to such permitted assignee.

Integration; Severability. This Agreement is the sole agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the same.

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Paratek Pharmaceuticals Sign Collaboration Agreement for Novel, Narrow-Spectrum Agents for Acne and Rosacea FAJARDO, Puerto Rico and BOSTON, Mass., July 9, 2007 - Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx 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 Xxxxxxx as we work together to progress Xxxxxxx’s novel tetracycline products through the development process and into commercialization” said Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, Chief Executive Officer and President of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx. “We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, a proven leader in the development and commercialization of dermatology products,” said Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, 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, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx 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. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx 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.

About Paratek Pharmaceuticals Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is engaged in the discovery and commercialization of new therapeutics that treat serious and life-threatening diseases, with a particular focus on the growing worldwide problem of antibiotic resistance. Paratek is advancing novel compounds that can circumvent or block bacterial resistance involving technology initially developed by Paratek co-founder Dr. Xxxxxx Xxxx’x laboratory at Tufts University School of Medicine, and licensed by Paratek. In addition to its tetracycline-derived antibacterials, Paratek is developing small molecule drugs that can prevent infection by interfering with Multiple Adaptational Response (MAR) mechanisms in bacteria. Outside the antibacterial therapeutic area, Paratek has also established an effort to exploit its novel tetracycline derivatives and their unique mechanism of action in selected anti- inflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions. Paratek has an active chemical synthesis effort to produce novel and diverse small molecules, with the goal of developing non-antibacterial compounds with improved activity in serious inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases based upon a growing body of clinical and basic research supporting this approach. Paratek is privately held and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. For more information, visit Paratek’s website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx’x Forward-Looking Statements
