MERCK and WXPT agree that any and all information, know-how, and data, whether oral, written, or graphical, that is disclosed or provided by MERCK or its AFFILIATES to WXPT or by WXPT to MERCK or its AFFILIATES (including any analysis, products, or conclusions drawn or derived therefrom), whether labeled as confidential/proprietary, or that may be derived from or related to any visits by personnel of one party to the location of the other or that may be otherwise known to one party through its visits or contacts with the other (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as “INFORMATION”) shall be disclosed and used by the parties subject to the following terms and conditions:

MERCK and WXPT shall keep all INFORMATION of the other party in confidence and will not, without the disclosing party's prior written consent, disclose any INFORMATION of the disclosing party to any person or entity, except those officers, employees, agents, or AFFILIATES of the receiving party who directly require the INFORMATION. Each officer, employee, agent, or AFFILIATE to whom INFORMATION is to be disclosed shall be advised by the receiving party of the terms of this AGREEMENT and shall be bound by the confidentiality and non-use obligations herein, mutatis mutandis. Both parties shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent INFORMATION of the other party from being disclosed to any unauthorized person or entity. For the purposes of this AGREEMENT, the term “AFFILIATE” shall mean: (1) any corporation or business entity fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting stock or voting equity interests of which are owned directly or indirectly by such party; or (2) any corporation or business entity which directly or indirectly owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting stock or voting equity interests of such party; or (3) any corporation or business entity directly or indirectly controlling or under control of a corporation or business entity described in (1) or (2).

All INFORMATION, without limitation, shall remain the property of the disclosing party. Neither party shall acquire any license or any other intellectual property interest in any INFORMATION disclosed to it by the disclosing party.

*	Indicates that certain information contained herein has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

WXPT hereby declares that as of the date of execution of this AGREEMENT it is not manufacturing, producing, formulating, packaging, labeling, warehousing, quality control testing (including in-process, release and stability testing), releasing, or shipping any chemical entity classified as penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics such as cephalosporins or carbapenems, steroids, hormones, alkaloids, controlled substances, LIVE AGENTS, cytotoxic drug substances, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or other toxic non-drug substances in, from, or to the facility to be used to process COMPOUND (collectively, the “CROSS-CONTAMINATION ACTIVITIES”). The term “LIVE AGENT” shall mean a product containing a living organism that causes infectious disease, including, but not limited to, viruses, bacteria, rickettsia, fungi, and protozoa. In the event that WXPT intends, during the course of WXPT's activities in connection with the purpose of this AGREEMENT (as set forth hereinabove), to conduct any CROSS-CONTAMINATION ACTIVITIES, WXPT shall promptly notify MERCK in writing of its intention to do so, in order to allow MERCK to consider any potential concerns regarding cross-contamination or regulatory requirements. In the event MERCK identifies such a potential concern, the parties will negotiate in good faith a resolution thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, WXPT shall not conduct any CROSS-CONTAMINATION ACTIVITIES that MERCK identifies as presenting such a potential concern.

Upon the written request of the disclosing party, the receiving party shall immediately either return to the disclosing party, or destroy, all INFORMATION of the disclosing party, in accordance with the instructions of the disclosing party, including all notes, summaries, and translations that have been made regarding such INFORMATION, and all copies of the foregoing. In the event destruction is requested by the disclosing party, the receiving party shall certify such destruction in writing.

In the event that the party receiving any INFORMATION is required by judicial or administrative process to disclose any or all of the INFORMATION, said party shall promptly notify the disclosing party and allow the disclosing party a reasonable time and opportunity to oppose such process before disclosing any INFORMATION.

10.

No agency or partnership relationship between MERCK and WXPT, either express or implied, shall be created by this AGREEMENT. Each party agrees to keep the existence and nature of the relationship between the parties as well as the terms of this AGREEMENT confidential and not to use the names of the other parties in any publicity or advertisement with regard to this AGREEMENT, without the prior written consent of the other party.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

11.

The confidentiality and non-use obligations created by this AGREEMENT shall be binding upon MERCK and WXPT, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, their respective successors and assigns, and shall continue with respect to each item of INFORMATION until the earlier of (i) the occurrence of any of the conditions set forth in SECTION 3 with respect to such item, or (ii) the longest period permitted by applicable law.

12.

This AGREEMENT embodies the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces any and all prior understandings and arrangements, oral or written, relating to the INFORMATION except for any other confidentiality agreement between or among the parties hereto.

13.	This AGREEMENT shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard or reference to any of its rules or provisions governing conflict of laws.

14.

The parties shall attempt to resolve amicably any dispute arising out of or relating to this AGREEMENT through good faith negotiations. In the event that said negotiations are not successful, the dispute shall be resolved through arbitration before three (3) arbitrators. Such arbitration shall take place in Somerset County, New Jersey and shall proceed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) and the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard or reference to any of its rules or provisions governing conflict of laws. Within seven (7) calendar days of either party making a demand for arbitration, MERCK and WXPT shall each select one (1) arbitrator. Within thirty (30) days of a demand for arbitration, a third arbitrator shall be selected by the arbitrators selected by the parties. If, within the prescribed time, either party shall fail to appoint its arbitrator, or the two arbitrators selected by the parties fail to appoint the third arbitrator, then either party may apply to the ICC for the appointment of such third arbitrator. The determination of a majority of the panel of arbitrators shall be the decision of the arbitrators and shall be binding upon the parties regardless of whether one of the parties fails or refuses to participate in the arbitration. The decision of the arbitrators shall be enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall pay for its arbitrator, with all fees and expenses of the third arbitrator being split equally between the parties. All other expenses directly associated with holding an arbitration proceeding shall be split equally between the parties. Either party may enter any arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction or may make application to any such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

15.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in SECTION 14, each party understands and agrees that any use or disclosure of INFORMATION of the other party in violation of this AGREEMENT will cause such other party irreparable harm leaving it without an adequate legal remedy and shall therefore entitle the other party, among all other remedies, to injunctive relief from any court having jurisdiction.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

16.

If any provision of this AGREEMENT is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this AGREEMENT shall continue in full force and effect. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to substitute a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that reflects the intent of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

17.

It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
