2.1Manufacture.  Almac shall Manufacture, package and supply the Product to Paratek or Paratek’s designee in such quantities and at such times as ordered by Paratek, in accordance with the Specifications and otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in exchange for payment of the applicable Supply Price for such Product.  During the Term, Almac shall maintain the resources necessary to Manufacture the Product pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.2Forecasts.  Within [* * *] after the Effective Date, Paratek shall submit to Almac a forecast of clinical supply of the Product that Paratek anticipates ordering from Almac during the [* * *] period (broken down by month and, if applicable, country in the Territory) following the date of such forecast and Paratek shall update such forecast on a rolling [* * *] basis every [* * *] thereafter (each, a “Rolling Clinical Forecast”) until Paratek no longer requires any clinical supply of the Product.  Beginning [* * *] prior to the anticipated launch of a Paratek Product in the Territory and for the remainder of the Term, Paratek shall submit to Almac a forecast of commercial supply of the Product that Paratek anticipates ordering from Almac during the [* * *] period (broken down by month and, if applicable, country in the Territory) following the date of such forecast and Paratek shall update such forecast on a rolling [* * *] basis every [* * *] thereafter (each, a “Rolling Commercial Forecast”), provided that Paratek shall provide an updated Rolling Commercial Forecast within [* * *] after such Paratek Product receives Regulatory Approval by the applicable Regulatory Authority in a country in the Territory. Paratek shall place purchase orders for at least the quantity of the Product specified in the first [* * *] of each such Rolling Clinical Forecast or Rolling Commercial Forecast (such period, the “Firm Forecast Period”) and the remaining [* * *] of such forecast shall be a good faith estimate and shall be non-binding, provided that Almac may place orders with its suppliers for raw materials or packaging materials as reasonably necessary in order to Manufacture the quantities of the Product specified in the first [* * *] of each Rolling Clinical Forecast or Rolling Commercial Forecast. In the event that Paratek and Almac agree that Almac or its Affiliate will perform the secondary packaging of the Product, the Parties will discuss, in good faith, amending the Firm Forecast Period for purchase orders of Product to appropriately reflect such additional service to be conducted in an Almac facility in the United States.

18.8Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and all Exhibits attached hereto (as the same may be amended from time to time by the written agreement of the Parties) and the Quality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other documents, agreements, verbal consents, arrangements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including that certain Mutual Confidentiality Agreement between Paratek and Almac Group Limited and its Affiliates, dated as of February 25, 2016.  This Agreement shall not be amended orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by both Parties that states that it is an amendment to this Agreement.

18.11No Waiver.  Any waiver by one Party of any right of such Party or obligation of the other Party must be in writing and shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent right or obligation.

18.12Equitable Relief.  Almac acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach by Almac of its obligations under this Agreement (including under any Scope of Work) will cause irreparable harm to Paratek and  that money damages would not be adequate to remedy such harm.  Therefore, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, Paratek shall be entitled to injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any such breach, without proof of damages or posting of a bond.
