Actavis shall not, as a general business practice, “bundle” or otherwise sell the Product together with any other product. However, if Actavis reasonably determines that a form of bundling is necessary for the maintenance of a customer (and, consequently, is necessary to generate Net Sales from such customer) or will result in an increase in Net Sales of Product in

6

the Territory (after giving effect to this paragraph), the reduction in price or deduction therefrom will be allocated as actually credited unless the Product receives a higher than pro rata share of any reduction or deduction that the bundled set of products receives. In such case, the reduction or deduction therefrom shall be allocated to the Product on a no greater than a pro rata basis based on the sales value (i.e., the unit average selling price multiplied by the number of units) of the Product relative to the sales value contributed by the other products in the bundle with respect to such sale.

“Other Product” means other products that Merrimack currently is developing and manufacturing or may in the future develop and manufacture, and may in the future commercialize, that are not Competing Products, but may contain a Product as a component. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, in writing, these non-Competing Products shall not constitute Products, Bulk Product, Finished Product or Additional Products under this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict Merrimack in its development, manufacture and commercialization of these products.

“Out-of-Pocket Expenses” means any fees, costs or other expenses paid by a Party, as applicable, to Third Parties.

(b) Approximately [**] days prior to the end of each calendar year, the Parties shall discuss and agree upon the Commercial Supply Price for the Bulk Product, which will be effective as of the first day of the following calendar year. The Commercial Supply Price shall be increased or decreased to reflect any documented increase or decrease in Merrimack’s Cost of Goods to manufacture the Bulk Product during the preceding calendar year; provided, however, if Merrimack’s Cost of Goods to manufacture increases or decreases by at least [**] percent ([**]%) during any calendar year, Merrimack shall provide Actavis with notice and reasonable documentation reflecting such change and shall be permitted to immediately adjust the Commercial Supply Price to reflect such adjustment for all future purchase orders during such year.

(c) Merrimack shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to optimize its manufacturing processes so as to decrease its Cost of Goods, including negotiating raw material costs.

(d) Actavis shall have the right to have a public accounting firm of its own selection, except one to whom Merrimack may have reasonable objection, and at its own expense (except as provided below), examine the relevant books and records of account of Merrimack during reasonable business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Merrimack and not more often than [**], for not more than the [**] previous years, to determine whether the Commercial Supply Price was calculated appropriately hereunder. If an audit finds that Merrimack’s Cost of Goods for Bulk Product supplied to Actavis during a calendar year was less than [**] percent ([**]%) of the estimated Cost of Goods used to determine the Commercial

13

Supply Price for such calendar year, (i) Merrimack shall promptly refund the amount by which such Cost of Goods was below [**] percent ([**]%) of the applicable Commercial Supply Price, (ii) Merrimack shall pay or reimburse Actavis for the reasonable cost of the audit, and (iii) the Commercial Supply Price for the balance of that year shall become the amount that such audit determined to be Merrimack’s actual Cost of Goods for Bulk Product. The public accounting firm performing the audit shall treat as confidential, and shall not disclose to Actavis any information other than the information set forth in this Section and information which could otherwise be given to Actavis pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

4.3 Purchase Estimate and Order.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, at least [**] months prior to Actavis’ anticipated date of commercial launch of the Bulk Product, Actavis shall deliver to Merrimack a rolling forecast of Actavis’ projected launch quantity requirements of Bulk Product for Commercial Supply. Thereafter, Actavis shall deliver to Merrimack a rolling [**] month forecast that shall be updated no less often than [**] or more often than [**].

(b) The first [**] months of this forecast shall be binding and the remaining [**] months shall be non-binding. Merrimack shall use the binding portion of the Actavis forecasts to order the raw materials necessary to fulfill Actavis’ forecasted Bulk Product requirements, taking into account necessary lead times.

(c) At least [**] days prior to the delivery date set forth in any purchase order, Actavis shall provide Merrimack with a firm order for the quantities of the Bulk Product required by Actavis, in full batch sizes. Unless there is a bona fide business reason for doing so, the firm order shall also be in an amount which is not less than the binding portion in the most recent forecast.

(d) If Actavis fails to place purchase orders that will require all of the ordered amounts of raw materials that Merrimack purchased in reliance on the binding portion of Actavis’ forecasts, Actavis shall purchase any excess raw materials (i.e., less any materials Merrimack is able to return to the vendor or use in its business) from Merrimack for the cost of such raw materials. In addition, Actavis shall pay any FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by Merrimack in reliance on the binding portion of Actavis’ forecasts.

(e) If the amount reflected in such purchase order exceeds [**] percent ([**]%) of the quantities of the Bulk Product in the last forecast submitted by Actavis to Merrimack for such period, Merrimack shall not be obligated to, but instead shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, supply Actavis with such quantities of the Bulk Product which exceeds [**] percent ([**]%) of the forecast quantity. For the avoidance of doubt, Merrimack shall be obligated to supply Actavis with such quantities up to and including [**] percent ([**]%) of the forecasted quantities of Bulk Product for such period in the last forecast submitted to Merrimack.

(f) If Merrimack fails to deliver at least [**] percent ([**]%) of the Bulk Product ordered by Actavis within [**] business days after the delivery date specified in (i) [**] consecutive Actavis orders that were covered by an applicable binding forecast by Actavis or

14

(ii) [**] orders that were covered by an applicable binding forecast by Actavis during any calendar year (in either case, a “Supply Deficiency”), then, in addition to any other rights hereunder or under applicable law, Actavis may revise any then outstanding orders and estimates for the affected Calendar Quarters without liability.

(g) No terms or conditions contained in any purchase order, acknowledgment, invoice, bill of lading, acceptance or other writing or documents issued by either Party shall be effective and only the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall govern with respect to the supply of Bulk Product.

4.4 Payment. An invoice will be issued by Merrimack upon delivery of the Bulk Product to Actavis. Actavis shall pay such invoices within [**] days after receipt of the invoice, subject to actual receipt by Actavis of Bulk Product for which such invoice is issued. Actavis shall have the right to withhold payment for all or any portion of an invoice for which it has a reasonable basis to dispute. All payments shall be made by Actavis to Merrimack in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to a bank and account designated by Merrimack.

4.5 Delivery. Merrimack shall deliver the Bulk Product EXW (ICC Incoterms 2010) Merrimack’s manufacturing facility. On the same day the Bulk Product is delivered to Actavis or its designee, Merrimack will email or fax to Actavis’ designated representative a signed Certificate of Analysis certifying that each lot or batch in such shipment was tested and meets the specifications for the Bulk Product and otherwise meets each of the warranties set forth in Section 4.9 and Section 9.2 hereof. Test specifications and test results must be included for each test with the Certificate of Analysis.

4.6 Quality. Within [**] months after the Effective Date, the Parties will enter into a quality agreement (the “Quality Agreement”) with respect to the manufacture and supply of the Bulk Product by Merrimack to Actavis hereunder. The terms of the Quality Agreement, as amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of the Parties hereto, shall be incorporated herein by this reference. To the extent any of the terms of the Quality Agreement conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Quality Agreement shall control solely as to quality issues related to the Product and its manufacture and the terms of this Agreement shall control as to all other matters. Merrimack shall perform quality and stability testing on the Bulk Product consistent with U.S. industry practices and the Quality Agreement. Merrimack may designate a Third Party to perform such quality and stability testing upon [**] days prior notice, subject to Actavis’ written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Merrimack shall remain responsible for the performance and results of such quality and stability testing notwithstanding the designation of a Third Party to perform such testing. Without limiting the foregoing, Merrimack shall promptly notify Actavis of any adverse reactions or other safety or toxicity problems known to Merrimack regarding the Bulk Product. Actavis shall be responsible for maintaining a worldwide safety database for the Finished Product and for submitting all required safety and adverse event reports to applicable Regulatory Authorities relating to the Finished Product.

4.7 Nonconforming Supply. Actavis shall verify the quantity, appearance and chemical identity of all Bulk Product received by Actavis according to the methods and procedures agreed upon by the Parties within [**] days after receipt of Bulk Product by Actavis

15

or its CMO. Within such [**] day period, Actavis or the CMO shall inform Merrimack in writing of any discrepancies in the description, quantity and/or identity of the Bulk Product received and the information contained in the documents accompanying each shipment of such Bulk Product. If Actavis or the CMO fails to inform Merrimack of any damage to the Bulk Product within the foregoing [**] day period (unless the defect in the Bulk Product is not readily discoverable based on the agreed upon methods and procedures) and Actavis or its CMO cannot prove that such damage occurred prior to delivery to Actavis , then Merrimack shall have no obligation to provide the remedies described below. In the event that any quantity of the Bulk Product supplied by Merrimack to Actavis hereunder does not comply with its specifications or any of the other warranties set forth in Sections 4.9 and 9.2 hereof (collectively, the “Warranties”), Actavis shall have the right, at its election, to (i) receive as soon as possible replacement quantity of the quality specified in such specifications and conforming to such Warranties, subject to returning to Merrimack such nonconforming quantity, (ii) receive a refund from Merrimack of the purchase price paid by Actavis for such nonconforming quantities of Bulk Product, or (iii) receive from Merrimack a credit equal to the purchase price paid by Actavis for such nonconforming quantities of Bulk Product against the purchase price of future orders of Bulk Product; all such remedies shall be at Merrimack’s sole cost and expense (including the cost of API needed for any such replacement quantity). Merrimack, at its cost, should apply Commercially Reasonable Efforts, including overtime to expedite replacement quantities which conform to the Warranties. In the event that any concurrent quality control testing conducted by the Parties disagrees as to the conformance of any Bulk Product to the Warranties, the Parties shall endeavor to settle such matter amicably and constructively between themselves. In the event that the Parties fail to settle such matter, the Parties shall agree to refer such allegedly nonconforming quantity of the Bulk Product to a neutral laboratory as agreed upon between the Parties. The results of the neutral laboratory shall be final and binding upon the Parties solely with respect to the issue as to whether the disputed Bulk Product conforms to the Warranties. All expenses incurred on such analysis will be borne by Actavis unless the results of the neutral laboratory confirm that the disputed Bulk Product does not conform to the Warranties.

4.8 Supply.

(a) Merrimack acknowledges that Actavis requires On Time Delivery for at least [**] percent ([**]%) of its orders; provided that failure to satisfy such requirement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, and Merrimack shall not have any liability for any failure to satisfy such requirement.

(b) Merrimack shall promptly notify Actavis if Merrimack determines that the delivery of any order will be delayed.

(c) In the event that there is a Supply Deficiency or both Parties’ representatives on the Steering Committee unanimously agree that it is necessary to establish and qualify another manufacturing facility as a backup source of manufacturing for the Bulk Product, Merrimack shall provide to a mutually agreed Third Party manufacturer, at Actavis’ request, copies of all documentation (including formulations, manufacturing procedures and protocols, quality control procedures, data and other Merrimack Know-How, Development Technology, Licensed Technology, etc.) necessary or useful for the manufacture and release of the Bulk

16

Product. In connection with the foregoing, Merrimack shall also assist in the transfer to such Third Party manufacturer of all analytical methods, manufacturing procedures and Know-How used by Merrimack hereunder with respect to its manufacture and release of the Bulk Product. Merrimack’s FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Expenses of conducting such activities shall be included in Additional Costs; provided, however, if such activities resulted from a Supply Deficiency which did not result from manufacturing, packaging or shipping problems outside the reasonable control of Merrimack or from Force Majeure, Merrimack shall be solely responsible for such FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Expenses.

4.9 Supply Warranty. Merrimack warrants that (a) Bulk Product supplied to Actavis hereunder shall conform with all quality requirements (including those set forth in the Quality Agreement) and applicable Product specifications, which specification for the Bulk Product is attached hereto as Exhibit E, and shall not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of any Applicable Law, and (b) such Bulk Product shall be manufactured no more than [**] months prior to the applicable delivery date therefor; provided, however, that Merrimack may manufacture the conformance/exhibit batches up to [**] months prior to the delivery date therefor.

4.10 API. If the Steering Committee determines that Actavis should supply Merrimack with the API required for the manufacture of the Bulk Product or any Additional Product, the following additional provisions shall apply:

(a) Delivery; Title. Actavis shall deliver the API to Merrimack’s manufacturing facility no later than [**] days prior to the date Merrimack is scheduled to commence the manufacture of the batch. Title to the API shall at all times belong to and remain with Actavis.

(b) Sole Use. Merrimack agrees that any API received by it from Actavis shall only be used by Merrimack in connection with the manufacture of the Product.

(c) Verification. Actavis shall provide a certificate of analysis for each shipment of API supplied. Merrimack shall verify the quantity, appearance and chemical identity of all API received by Merrimack by using United States Pharmacopeial (“USP”) and European Pharmacopeial (“EP”) monograph testing within [**] days after receipt of API by Merrimack. Within such [**] day period, Merrimack shall inform Actavis in writing of any discrepancies between the USP and EP monograph testing of the API received and the information contained in the documents accompanying each shipment of such API.

(d) Discrepancy. If Merrimack notifies Actavis of a discrepancy in the USP and EP monograph testing of the API within such [**] day period, Actavis shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ship additional API within the time period necessary for Merrimack to manufacture the Product in accordance with the scheduled manufacturing date for the applicable purchase order, but if Actavis is unable to supply such API in such time period, Actavis shall be responsible for any and all costs associated with or resulting from any manufacturing delay, and Merrimack shall not be required to achieve On Time Delivery with respect to such purchase order. If Merrimack informs Actavis of any discrepancies in the USP and EP monograph testing of the API after such [**] day period, then Actavis shall use

17

Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply Merrimack with additional API sufficient to manufacture the scheduled Product in accordance with the applicable purchase order, but if Actavis is unable to supply such additional API, Actavis may cancel or postpone the scheduled manufacture without any liability to Merrimack for such delay.

(e) Damage. If Merrimack fails to inform Actavis of any damage to the API within the foregoing [**] day period and Merrimack cannot prove that such damage occurred prior to delivery to Merrimack, then Merrimack shall remedy such failure or damage in the manner specified below.

(f) Other Damage or Loss. Except for any damage or loss resulting from fire (other than one caused by the negligence of Merrimack), flood, tornado, earthquake or other act of God beyond Merrimack’s ability to control or to the extent caused by Actavis’ negligence or willful misconduct or to the extent attributable to ordinary course yield losses during manufacture of Bulk Product, Merrimack shall assume all responsibility and liability for, and shall defend, indemnify and hold Actavis harmless from and against, any loss of or damage to the API that occurs while Merrimack has custody and control over the API. Such responsibility and liability shall commence upon the receipt of the API at Merrimack’s manufacturing facility and end upon the delivery of the Product.

(g) Remedy. If any loss or damage to the API occurs as described above (i) Merrimack shall, at Actavis’ option and expense, return the API to Actavis or dispose of same according to Actavis’ instructions, and (ii) if Merrimack is responsible for any damage or loss described above, shall credit or refund to Actavis the cost of such API and its return or disposal.

(h) API Yield. After Merrimack has supplied at least [**] batches of Product to Actavis for each batch size, the Parties shall mutually agree upon an acceptable yield loss for the API used in the manufacture of the Product at that batch size, on either a per batch or an annual basis. After Merrimack has supplied at least [**] batches of Product, that yield shall be reevaluated and, if appropriate, adjusted by the Parties to reflect long term API yield for the manufacture of the Bulk Product. If Merrimack thereafter exceeds that agreed upon yield loss, a credit shall be given to Actavis towards the purchase of future Product in an amount equal to Actavis’ direct material cost for the lost API beyond the agreed upon yield loss or, if Merrimack is no longer manufacturing that Product, a refund of such amount. Actavis shall document its cost of API supplied to Merrimack in connection with any claim for loss.

4.11 Access to Premises. Upon reasonable prior notice, each Party shall, from time to time during the Term, allow applicable representatives of the other Party to reasonably tour and inspect such Party’s facilities used in the manufacture, storage, packaging, testing, shipping and holding of any Product and shall provide reasonable access to its quality control documentation for purposes of an inspection or audit. Such inspections shall occur during normal business hours and on reasonable prior notice and shall be conducted in a manner that allows the inspected Party to restrict access to any proprietary or otherwise secret areas of its facilities or contents thereof that are not used in the development, manufacture, testing or packaging of a Product; provided that such inspection and audit shall occur no more frequently than [**]. Additionally, each Party may conduct “for cause” inspections or audits in the event of recalls or other events. Government authorities, including without limitation Regulatory Authorities, shall

18

have the right to inspect each Party’s facilities upon their request. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party, and keep it fully informed of and respond to its requests regarding, the results of any regulatory inspection, comments, responses letters or notices received from the FDA, or other applicable Regulatory Authorities, which relate to or may impact any Product or the manufacture and supply of any Product hereunder. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly correct any undisputed non-compliance or other deficiencies noted in the above inspections and audits by the other Party or any Regulatory Authority at its sole expense.

ARTICLE 5

COMMERCIALIZATION; PAYMENTS

5.1 Commercialization. After approval of the Regulatory Dossier for a Product by the Regulatory Authority, and Actavis’ receipt of sufficient quantities of Product for commercial launch (as identified in writing by Actavis), Actavis shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to market and sell the Product in the Territory; provided, however, that Actavis shall have sole but reasonable discretion as to the manner and extent of such commercialization of such Product (including as to issues concerning labeling, launch dates, terms of sale and pricing and customer contracts). Additionally, Actavis shall have the right in its sole but reasonable discretion to postpone or delay the commercial launch of the Product or interrupt or cease the marketing and sale of a Product in the event litigation is threatened or pending with respect to such Product. Commencing in the year prior to the commercial launch of any Product, and continuing thereafter for the remainder of the Term, Actavis shall provide to Merrimack annual commercialization plans and reports summarizing Actavis’ commercialization activities with respect to the applicable Product over the preceding year, outlining Actavis’ plans for the commercialization of such Product for the ensuing calendar year and reporting on Actavis’ progress in the prior year. Merrimack shall have the right to comment on and ask questions about such plans and reports, and Actavis shall reasonably consider any such comments and reasonably respond to any such queries from Merrimack.

5.2 Consideration. During the Term of this Agreement, subject to Section 2.3(b) hereof, Actavis shall pay Merrimack a percentage of the Net Profit for Product being marketed, in accordance with the following:

(a) [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Profit earned from sales of the Finished Product and either (i) [**] percent ([**]%) or (ii) such other percentage as may be agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.3(c), of Net Profit earned from sales of Additional Product that utilizes the Licensed Technology or otherwise received marketing approval based on development work performed in whole or in part by Merrimack.

(b) To the extent the Net Profit is negative in any particular Calendar Quarter or quarters, Actavis shall be entitled to accrue and set off such shortfall against any positive Net Profit in any subsequent Calendar Quarter or quarters; provided that (i) no such set off against Net Profit shall reduce any Calendar Quarter Net Profit payment by more than [**] percent ([**]%) of the amount otherwise payable to Merrimack (and Actavis shall be permitted to carry forward for set off against Net Profits in subsequent Calendar Quarters any such shortfall amount

19

that Actavis was not able to apply during such Calendar Quarter due to the limitation set forth in this proviso), and (ii) Merrimack shall not have any obligation to pay any share of any such shortfall that Actavis is not able to set off pursuant to this Section 5.2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing proviso or anything to the contrary herein, (x) if the negative Net Profit is the direct result of a Supply Deficiency or a recall resulting from the actions or inaction of Merrimack in breach of Merrimack’s obligations under this Agreement, Actavis shall be permitted to set off against the entire Net Profit amount otherwise payable to Merrimack, and (y) the limitation set forth in (ii) above shall not in any way limit Merrimack’s indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Each payment shall be made within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter and shall be accompanied by a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the quantity of Product sold in each country in the Territory (as measured in saleable units of Product) and Actavis’ calculations of Net Sales and Net Profit for such period. Any adjustments to be made in respect of payments previously made to Merrimack due to rebates, returns and the like, shall be factored into the calculation of subsequent payments.

(d) Within [**] days after the beginning of each month, Actavis shall provide Merrimack with a written non-binding good faith estimate of Net Sales and Net Profit for the Finished Product and each Additional Product for the prior calendar month.

5.3 Records and Audits. Merrimack shall have the right to audit or have a public accounting firm of its own selection, except one to whom Actavis may have reasonable objection, and at its own expense (except as provided below), examine the relevant books and records of account of Actavis during reasonable business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Actavis and not more often than [**], to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of the payment of consideration for the preceding [**] years. If an audit finds an underpayment by Actavis, Actavis shall promptly pay the full amount of such underpayment and, if the underpayment is more than [**] percent ([**]%) of the consideration due under this Agreement in any calendar year for which such audit is conducted, shall pay or reimburse Merrimack for the reasonable cost of the audit. The public accounting firm performing the audit shall treat as confidential, and shall not disclose to Merrimack any information other than information which could otherwise be given to Merrimack pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

5.4 Currency of Payments. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to such bank account as Merrimack may designate from time to time. Any payments due hereunder on Net Sales outside of the United States shall be payable in U.S. Dollars at the average of the rate of exchange of the currency of the country in which the Net Sales are made as reported in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal, for the last [**] business days of the quarter for which the consideration is payable.

5.5 No Tax Withholding. Unless required due to Merrimack’s assignment of this Agreement to an entity outside the United States or Merrimack’s redomiciliation outside of the United States, no payment hereunder shall be subject to withholding of income taxes owed by Merrimack, and Actavis shall not withhold any such amount from any payment to Merrimack hereunder.

20

ARTICLE 6

RECALLS

6.1 Product Recalls. In the event Actavis is ordered by a Regulatory Authority or reasonably believes it is necessary to conduct a recall, field correction, market withdrawal, stock recovery, or other similar action (a “Recall”) with respect to any of the Product in the Territory, Actavis shall determine how best to proceed and shall be responsible for conducting such Recall. If a Recall is due to Merrimack’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation the Warranties, then Merrimack shall promptly reimburse Actavis for all Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by Actavis in connection with such Recall and shall replace the Commercial Supply returned to Actavis as a result of the Recall or destroyed as a result of the Recall in accordance with the timing set forth in Section 4.7 hereof. If the Recall is partially attributable to a breach of each Party’s obligations under this Agreement, the Parties shall share all costs and expenses resulting from the Recall in the same proportion as their respective responsibility for the Recall. In all other cases, Actavis shall bear all costs and expenses resulting from the Recall, subject to its indemnification rights hereunder.

ARTICLE 7

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 License. Merrimack hereby, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, grants to Actavis and its Affiliates an exclusive (even as to Merrimack and its Affiliates), fully paid-up license, under the Licensed Technology, to sublicense, make, have made, use, sell, distribute, import or export or otherwise exploit, anywhere in the Territory, the Product; provided that Merrimack retains the exclusive right, subject to Section 4.1, to manufacture or have manufactured Bulk Product for Finished Product. For the avoidance of doubt, however, subject to Section 2.6, Merrimack retains the right under the Licensed Technology to make, have made, use, sell, distribute, sublicense, import or export or otherwise exploit, anywhere in the Territory, products other than the Product, including by manufacturing Bulk Product that may be incorporated into Other Products. Any amounts received by Actavis and its Affiliates in connection with the sublicensing or transfer of the Licensed Technology or Development Technology shall, after deduction from such revenues of any costs incurred by Actavis and its Affiliates relating to such transaction (including but not limited to costs relating to the registration of duplicate Regulatory Dossiers and the transaction giving rise to the revenues received), be included in Net Profits hereunder.

7.2 Patent Filings. The Parties shall jointly own the Development Technology, and Actavis will, according to the decisions adopted by the Steering Committee, prepare and file any patent applications relating to the Development Technology. Merrimack shall cooperate, as reasonably requested by Actavis, in connection with such preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance. Merrimack shall, in its sole but reasonable discretion, prepare and file any and all such patent applications relating to, underlying or arising out of the Licensed Technology and shall take any other similar actions to secure, enhance, protect or perfect its intellectual property rights related to the Licensed Technology and shall maintain and prosecute any patent or other intellectual property rights resulting therefrom. Actavis shall, cooperate, as reasonably requested by Merrimack, in connection with such preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance.

21

7.3 Infringement By Third Party of Intellectual Property.

(a) In the event of any infringement by a Third Party’s Competing Product (“Competitive Infringement(s)”) of the Development Technology, Actavis shall have the first right to file an action against any such infringing Third Party or seek abatement of the infringement by such Third Party. Merrimack shall reasonably cooperate with Actavis in any such action brought by Actavis, including by being joined as a party, at Actavis’ expense. Upon learning of any such Competitive Infringement, each Party shall promptly inform the other in writing of such infringement and shall supply the other with all evidence that it possesses pertaining to said infringement. Any amount recovered by Actavis in enforcing rights in the Development Technology against such Competitive Infringements shall, after deduction from such recoveries of any out-of-pocket costs of enforcement, be included in Net Profits hereunder. If Actavis elects not to enforce the Development Technology against such a Competitive Infringement within [**] days after learning of such Competitive Infringement, Merrimack shall thereafter have the sole right to enforce the Development Technology against such Competitive Infringement, in which case Actavis shall reasonably cooperate with Merrimack in any such action brought by Merrimack, including by being joined as a party, at Merrimack’s expense. Merrimack shall retain any amount that it recovers from enforcing rights in the Development Technology against such Competitive Infringements.

(b) In the event of any Competitive Infringement of the Licensed Technology, Merrimack shall have the first right to file an action against any such infringing Third Party or seek abatement of the infringement by such Third Party. Actavis shall reasonably cooperate with Merrimack in any such action brought by Merrimack, including by being joined as a party, at Merrimack’s expense. Upon learning of any such Competitive Infringement, each Party shall promptly inform the other in writing of such infringement and shall supply the other with all evidence that it possesses pertaining to said infringement. Any amount recovered by Merrimack in enforcing rights in the Licensed Technology against a Competitive Infringement shall, after deduction from such recoveries of any out-of-pocket costs of enforcement, be equally shared by the Parties; payable to Actavis within [**] days after Merrimack’s receipt thereof. Any other amount recovered by Merrimack in enforcing rights in the Licensed Technology shall be retained by Merrimack. If Merrimack elects not to enforce Licensed Technology that solely and exclusively relates to a Product and does not relate to any Other Product against such a Competitive Infringement within [**] days after learning of such Competitive Infringement, Actavis shall thereafter have the right to enforce such Licensed Technology that solely and exclusively relates to a Product and does not relate to any Other Product against such Competitive Infringement, in which case Merrimack shall reasonably cooperate with Actavis in any such action brought by Actavis, including by being joined as a party, at Actavis’ expense. Actavis shall retain any amounts it recovers from enforcing rights in the Licensed Technology that solely and exclusively relate to a Product and do not relate to any Other Product against such Competitive Infringements.

22

7.4 Infringement of Third Parties’ Rights; Certain Generic Drug Filings.

(a) In the event of any claim by a Third Party, or if either Party determines, that the manufacture, sale or use of the Bulk Product or Finished Product (as applicable) or filing of an ANDA with respect thereto infringes the intellectual property rights of a Third Party, Actavis shall have the sole right and obligation, so long as rights to such Bulk Product or Finished Product are licensed to Actavis hereunder, to defend and indemnify Merrimack from and against such claim at Actavis’ expense, including any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to such claim. If Merrimack is put on notice of any such claim, Merrimack shall provide prompt notice to Actavis of any such claim. Merrimack agrees to assist and cooperate with Actavis in resolving such claim. The procedures for indemnification under this Section 7.4 shall be the same as those set forth in Section 10.3. Actavis will reimburse Merrimack for all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by Merrimack in the course of providing requested assistance and cooperation in accordance with this Section 7.4(a).

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding Section 7.4(a) above, Actavis and its attorneys shall prepare any certifications or notices required to be filed or delivered to the FDA or Third Party in connection with obtaining Regulatory Approval for Product that requires an assessment as to whether the manufacture, use and sale of Product would infringe any valid Third Party patent listed with the FDA, including without limitation such certifications and notices required pursuant to Sections 505(j)(2)(A) and (B) of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended. Merrimack agrees to assist and cooperate with Actavis in preparation of such certifications and notices, in accordance with the terms described in Section 7.4(a). Actavis shall have the sole right and authority to determine whether any patent held by a Third Party shall be challenged in connection with the pursuit of any Regulatory Approval and shall have the sole right to control all decisions that relate to or could impact such patent challenge (including without limitation appointment of counsel, strategies related to the prosecution of the Regulatory Approval or any related litigation, defense of any litigation or claim of infringement, settlement (including Product launch date), etc.). Actavis will reimburse Merrimack for all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by Merrimack in the course of providing its assistance and cooperation in accordance with this Section 7.4(b).

(c) The obligation of Actavis to indemnify Merrimack under this Article 7 is premised and contingent upon Merrimack’s representation and warranty that the Licensed Technology existing as of the Effective Date is lawfully owned by or licensed to Merrimack and has not been misappropriated from any Third Party and that, to the best of Merrimack’s knowledge as of the Effective Date, Merrimack’s manufacture and supply of Bulk Product in accordance with this Agreement will not infringe any Third Party intellectual property rights; provided that Merrimack disclaims all other representations and warranties, whether express or implied, that the Licensed Technology or any Product does not or will not infringe Third Party patent rights. Accordingly, notwithstanding the foregoing, Merrimack shall indemnify Actavis and its Affiliates for any claim for which it is judicially determined that the Licensed Technology has been misappropriated in breach of such representation and warranty.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

8.1 Confidentiality. Each Party will treat as confidential the Confidential Information of the other Party, and will take all necessary precautions to assure the confidentiality of such information. Each Party agrees to return to the other Party or destroy upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement all Confidential Information acquired from such other Party, except as to such information it may be required to retain under Applicable Law, and except for one (1) copy of such information to be retained by such Party’s legal department and except for copies of laboratory books which Merrimack will require to keep for audits and inspections. Until such time as the expiration or termination of this Agreement and a period of [**] years thereafter, neither Party shall, without the other Party’s express prior written consent, use or disclose any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to carry out its obligations hereunder. Each Party, prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information to any employee, consultant or advisor shall ensure that such person is bound in writing to observe the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. The obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to information that the receiving Party is required by law or regulation or a court of competent jurisdiction, to disclose; provided, however, that the receiving Party shall so notify the disclosing Party of its intent (so as to provide the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to seek relief from such required disclosure) and cooperate with the disclosing Party on reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

8.2 Public Disclosure. Attached as Exhibit F is a form of joint press release that the Parties have agreed to issue promptly following the Effective Date. Following such initial press release, except for such disclosure as is deemed necessary, in the reasonable judgment of a Party, to comply with Applicable Laws, including under disclosure requirements of applicable securities regulations or stock exchange rules, no public announcement, news release, statement, publication or presentation relating to the existence of this Agreement, the subject matter hereof, or either Party’s performance hereunder will be made without the other Party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

ARTICLE 9

10.1 By Actavis. Actavis agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Merrimack and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents harmless from and against any and all costs, losses, liability and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (“Losses”) resulting from claims made by any Third Party to the extent relating to or arising out of (a) Actavis’ Development Activities or performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution or sale of Products by Actavis, including Third Party claims that the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution or sale of Products infringes any Third Party patent rights and Third Party claims based on personal injury, death or property damage arising from the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution or sale of any Product, (c) a breach of any obligation, covenant, warranty or representation by Actavis contained in this Agreement, or (d) any negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission of Actavis or its directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents, in each case except to the extent to, or for matters for, which Merrimack would be required to indemnify Actavis under Section 10.2 below.

25

10.2 By Merrimack. Merrimack agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Actavis and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from claims made by any Third Party to the extent relating to or arising out of (a) Merrimack’s Development Activities or performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) any claim that the Licensed Technology constitutes a misappropriation of any intellectual property or proprietary rights of any Third Party; provided that Merrimack does not defend, indemnify or hold Actavis or its directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents harmless from claims that Products infringe Third Party patent rights, (c) a breach of any obligation, covenant, warranty or representation by Merrimack contained in this Agreement, or (d) any negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission of Merrimack or its directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents, in each case except to the extent to, or for matters for, which Actavis would be required to indemnify Merrimack under Section 10.1 above.

10.3 Procedures for Control of Third Party Claims. The Party entitled to make a claim for indemnification under this Article 10 shall be referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the Party required to indemnify such claim shall be referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand, made by any Third Party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim within [**] days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, upon notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon the Indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such suit, action or proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof, but the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party defends or prosecutes any Third Party Claim, the Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees or any other Indemnified Party available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle a Third Party Claim so long as such settlement does not impose any obligation or burden (including loss of goodwill) on the Indemnified Party. For the avoidance of doubt, an agreement by the Indemnifying Party to a Product launch date as part of a settlement to a Third Party Claim does not impose an obligation or burden on the Indemnified Party.

26

10.4 Insurance. For the Term and for a period of [**] years thereafter, each Party agrees to obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, including Products Liability, Bodily Injury and Property Damage Insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $[**] per occurrence and in the aggregate annually; provided, however, that Actavis can satisfy such insurance requirements through a self-insurance program. The Merrimack insurance shall name Actavis as an additional insured, and Merrimack shall have its insurance carrier or carriers furnish to Actavis certificates that all insurance required under this Agreement is in force, such certificates to indicate any deductible and/or self-insured retention and the effective expiration dates of the policies, and such certificates to stipulate that Actavis shall be given [**] days written notice of cancellation or non-renewal of the policy.

10.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF ARTICLE 8, A PARTY’S INFRINGEMENT OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND/OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND THIRD PARTY CLAIMS SUBJECT TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 10, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING FOR LOST PROFITS, OR LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY OR USE OF ANY KIND SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.
