Either Party may appoint, substitute or replace members of the Joint Steering Committee to serve as their representatives upon notice to the other Party. The Joint Steering Committee shall be chaired by one of the CollaGenex representatives. Each representative of CollaGenex shall be entitled to one vote and each representative of Skold shall be entitled to one vote. The Joint Steering Committee shall to the extent practicable seek to operate by consensus, provided that CollaGenex will have the tie-breaking vote on all Joint Steering Committee decisions.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Responsibilities. The Joint Steering Committee shall perform the following functions: (i) review and agree upon the Products to be developed; (ii) oversee the

- 7 -

development of the Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) review and agree upon the Development Plans for Products and any material amendments to the Development Plans; and (iv) have such other responsibilities as may be assigned to the Joint Steering Committee pursuant to this Agreement or as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties from time to time.

(d) Meetings. The Joint Steering Committee shall regularly meet in person, by video or by teleconference (as mutually agreed by the Parties from time to time) twice a year or more frequently as may be agreed upon, to exercise its responsibilities. In order for a meeting of the Joint Steering Committee to be convened, such meeting must include at least two (2) committee members of each Party and, provided this condition is met, a unanimous action taken at such meeting shall have been duly and validly taken by the Joint Steering Committee. The first meeting of the Joint Steering Committee shall be convened within thirty (30) days from the Effective Date. CollaGenex shall reimburse Skold’s designee for reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with such designee attending any meeting of the Joint Steering Committee.

(e) Agendas and Minutes for the Joint Steering Committee. Unless otherwise decided by the Joint Steering Committee, each Party will use reasonable efforts to disclose to the chair all proposed agenda items along with appropriate background or supporting information at least twenty (20) working days in advance of a Joint Steering Committee meeting. The chair will use reasonable efforts to present an agenda with appropriate background or supporting information at least ten (10) working days in advance of a Joint Steering Committee meeting. After each meeting of the Joint Steering Committee, the Party whose turn it was hosting such meeting will prepare, within ten (10) working days after each meeting (whether held in person, by video or by telecommunication), the minutes reporting in reasonable detail the actions taken or to be taken by the Joint Steering Committee, or its designees, the attendees, the status of goals and achievements as well as issues requiring resolution, and resolutions of previously reported issues, which minutes shall set forth all pertinent information presented during the meeting in form and content reasonably acceptable to the other Party and shall be signed by one of the Joint Steering Committee representatives from each of the Parties.

(f) No Authority to Modify Agreement. The Joint Steering Committee shall have no authority to amend or waive compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or to approve actions of the Parties which are inconsistent with this Agreement.

3.2 Selection of and Responsibility for Development of Products.

(a) Proposals for Products. At any time after the Effective Date, either Party may make a written proposal to the Joint Steering Committee regarding the development of a product. Such proposal shall include (i) any data and other information in its possession which may be relevant to the use of the proposed product, and (ii) an outline of the major development activities required to obtain Regulatory Approval for such proposed Product in the United States, including a timeline for performing such activities. Thereafter, the Joint Development Committee shall meet in order to review such proposal.

(b) Inclusion of Products. With respect to a proposal pursuant to Section 3.2(a), if the Joint Steering Committee accepts such proposal, such proposed Product shall be developed by CollaGenex in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Development

- 8 -

Plan prepared by CollaGenex pursuant to Section 3.3 for such Product. If the Joint Steering Committee cannot agree on the inclusion of any proposed Product for development by CollaGenex, CollaGenex shall have the final decision as to whether and which Products are developed by CollaGenex under the terms of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed by the Parties that CollaGenex is currently developing a benzoyl peroxide Product (the “BPO Product”) and a clobetasol product (the “Clobetasol Product”).

(c) Responsibility. CollaGenex shall have sole responsibility and use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts for developing Products and shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the development of such Products.

3.3 Development Plans. Once the Joint Steering Committee agrees to include, or CollaGenex has selected, a Product for development, CollaGenex shall prepare a development plan, including the clinical trials contemplated for each such Product (each, a “Development Plan”). No later than October 31 of each year following the first year of a Development Plan, CollaGenex shall update each Development Plan and provide such Development Plan to the Joint Steering Committee for review and approval, provided that CollaGenex shall have the final-decision making authority with respect to any element of a Development Plan.

3.4 Development Diligence. CollaGenex shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts in order to meet the following diligence obligations:

(a) On or before December 31, 2005, CollaGenex shall initiate development efforts on at least five Products; and

(b) On or before March 31, 2007, CollaGenex shall either (i) demonstrate that the initial formulation of each such Product maintains stability for a period of six (6) months or (ii) incur at least US$75,000 in costs and expenses per such Product in the development activities attempting to demonstrate such stability. For the avoidance of doubt, CollaGenex, in its sole discretion, reserves the right at any time to abandon development of a Product if CollaGenex has not yet incurred US$75,000 in development costs and expenses on such Product, provided that such abandoned Product shall not count as one of the five Products.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that CollaGenex has satisfied the diligence obligations of paragraphs (a) and (b) above with respect to the Clobetasol Product and therefore CollaGenex shall only be required to satisfy the diligence obligations in this Section 3.4 on four (4) more Products.

3.5 Regulatory Approvals. CollaGenex shall have sole responsibility for the applications for Regulatory Approvals, manufacture, marketing and distribution of the Products as well as the sole discretion as to how to pursue applications for Regulatory Approvals, manufacture, market and distribute the Products. Skold shall render CollaGenex such assistance, as may be reasonably requested or required by CollaGenex, regarding such applications for Regulatory Approval and the manufacture, marketing and/or distribution of Products.

3.6 Intellectual Property Rights. CollaGenex, at its sole discretion and expense, shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop, administrate, prosecute, procure and maintain all Restoraderm Intellectual Property Rights, including the Restoraderm Patent Rights, (including

- 9 -

their issuance, reissuance, reexamination and the defense of any interference, revocation or opposition proceedings) claiming the composition of matter or manufacture of the Products or their use. CollaGenex shall solicit Skold’s advice and review of the nature and text of patent applications and important prosecution matters related to the Restoraderm Intellectual Property Rights in reasonably sufficient time prior to filings thereof, and CollaGenex shall take into account Skold’s reasonable comments related thereto.

3.7 Commercialization and Business Plans. CollaGenex shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to market and sell all Products. CollaGenex shall prepare a plan for marketing research, marketing activities and sales of the Product (each, a “Business Plan”). CollaGenex shall provide each Business Plan, as well as any amendments or updates to any such Business Plan that CollaGenex may make, to Skold for his information, review and comments.

ARTICLE 4

FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

4.1 Milestone Payments. With respect to each of the first five Products, CollaGenex shall pay the following milestone payments (the “Milestone Payments”) within thirty (30) calendar days following the first occurrence of the specified event:

(a) Pilot Stability. One hundred thirty-three thousand U.S. Dollars ($133,000) upon CollaGenex’s receipt of data, in a form acceptable to CollaGenex, that demonstrates the initial formulation of the Product is stable for at least six months.

(b) Clinical Batch Stability. One hundred thirty-three thousand U.S. Dollars ($133,000) upon completion of the manufacture of clinical batches of the Product under current Good Manufacturing Practice conditions with demonstrated stability based on twelve months of data at a pre-specified temperature.

(c) Technology Transfer to a Commercial Facility. One hundred thirty-four thousand U.S. Dollars ($134,000) upon completion of the manufacturing of three batches of the Product under current Good Manufacturing Practices and in accordance with requirements for filing an NDA, irrespective of whether it is intended that an NDA will be filed for such Product, with demonstrated stability based on twelve months of data at a pre-specified temperature.

Upon achievement of a milestone for a particular Product, any previous Milestone Payment for that Product for which payment was not made shall be deemed achieved and payment therefore shall be made. For the avoidance of doubt, the Milestone Payments shall be due only one time for each of the first five Products with different active ingredients regardless of how many line extensions, indications or dosage strengths are developed for Products with the same active ingredient. Milestone Payments are only payable on the first five Products with different active ingredients, and no further Milestone Payments shall be due or owing to Skold regardless of the number of Products subsequently developed.

4.2 Royalties. Subject to the provisions of this Article 4, CollaGenex shall pay Skold a five percent (5%) royalty on Net Sales of Products covered by a Valid Claim of the Restoraderm Patent Rights; provided, however, if CollaGenex, in order to make, use, sell or otherwise dispose of Products reasonably determines that it must make payments to one or more

- 10 -

Third Parties to obtain license or similar rights, CollaGenex may reduce the royalties due Skold by half of the amount of such third party payment, but not to such extent that the royalties due to Skold decreases below half the royalty earned.

4.3 Sublicense Income. CollaGenex shall pay to Skold twenty-five percent (25%) of all Sublicense Income that CollaGenex receives.

4.4 Patent Defense Expense Set-Off. Subject to Section 3.6, CollaGenex may prosecute any Third Party believed to be infringing the Restoraderm Patent Rights and/or defend and control any action (or counterclaim or any defense asserted in any other CollaGenex’s action) initiated by a Third Party (such as interference, revocation or opposition proceedings) alleging the invalidity or unenforceability of any Restoraderm Patent Right (each, a “Restoraderm Patent Right Action”). To the extent CollaGenex incurs any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in the filing, prosecution or defense of any such Restoraderm Patent Right Action, CollaGenex shall be entitled to deduct thirty percent (30%) of any such costs or expenses from amounts that are otherwise due Skold under this Article 4.

4.5 Statements and Payment. CollaGenex shall deliver to Skold, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, a report setting forth for such calendar quarter the following information for each Product: (i) Net Sales of such Product on a country-by-country basis; (ii) the basis for any adjustments to the royalties payable on account of sales of such Product in any country; (iii) the royalties due to Skold on account of sales of such Product; (iv) the Sublicense Income payments due Skold on account of sales of such Product; and (iv) the exchange rates used in calculating any of the foregoing. CollaGenex shall make payment in conjunction with such report, as set forth in Section 4.7.

4.6 Taxes and Withholding. Any payments made by CollaGenex to Skold under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount required to be paid or withheld pursuant to any applicable law, including, but not limited to, United States federal, state or local tax law (“Withholding Taxes”). Any such Withholding Taxes required by law to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, Skold. CollaGenex, as applicable, shall submit to Skold reasonable proof of payment of the Withholding Taxes, together with an accounting of the calculations of such taxes, within thirty (30) days after such Withholding Taxes are remitted to the proper authority. The Parties will cooperate reasonably in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other applicable law in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment.

4.7 Payment Currency; Currency Exchange. All payments made by CollaGenex to Skold hereunder shall be in United States dollars. With respect to Net Sales invoiced or expenses incurred in U.S. dollars, the Net Sales or expense amounts and the amounts due to Skold hereunder shall be expressed in U.S. dollars. With respect to Net Sales invoiced or expenses incurred in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Net Sales or expense shall be expressed in the domestic currency of the entity making the sale or incurring the expense, together with the U.S. dollar equivalent, calculated using the arithmetic average of the spot rates on the last Business Day of each month of the calendar quarter in which the Net Sales were made or the expense was incurred. The “closing mid-point rates” found in the “Dollar spot forward

against the Dollar” table published by The Financial Times, or any other publication as agreed to by the Parties, shall be used as the source of spot rates to calculate the average as defined in the preceding sentence. All payments shall be made by wire transfer in U.S. dollars to the credit of such bank account as shall be designated at least five (5) Business Days in advance by Skold in writing to CollaGenex.

4.8 Maintenance of Records; Audit. For a period of two (2) years after the date of the invoice, CollaGenex shall maintain, and shall require its respective Affiliates to maintain, complete and accurate books and records in connection with the sale of Products hereunder, as necessary to allow the accurate calculation consistent with generally accepted accounting principles of the royalties and Sublicense Income payments due to Skold, including any records required to calculate any royalty adjustments hereunder. Once per calendar year, Skold shall have the right to engage an independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to CollaGenex, which shall have the right to examine in confidence the relevant CollaGenex records as may be reasonably necessary to determine and/or verify the amount of royalties and Sublicense Income payments due hereunder. Such examination shall be conducted, and CollaGenex shall make its records available, during normal business hours, after at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to CollaGenex, as applicable, and shall take place at the facility(ies) where such records are maintained. Each such examination shall be limited to pertinent books and records for any year ending not more than twenty-four (24) months prior to the date of request; provided that Skold shall not be permitted to audit the same period of time more than once. Before permitting such independent accounting firm to have access to such books and records, CollaGenex may require such independent accounting firm and its personnel involved in such audit, to sign a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to CollaGenex) as to any confidential information which is to be provided to such accounting firm or to which such accounting firm will have access, while conducting the audit under this paragraph. The Skold independent accounting firm will prepare and provide to each Party a written report stating whether the royalties and Sublicense Income payment reports submitted and royalties and Sublicense Income payments paid are correct or incorrect and the details concerning any discrepancies. Such accounting firm may not reveal to Skold any information learned in the course of such audit other than the amount of any such discrepancies. Skold agrees to hold in strict confidence all information disclosed to it, except to the extent necessary for Skold to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by law. In the event there was an underpayment by CollaGenex hereunder, CollaGenex shall promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such Party’s receipt of the independent auditor’s report so correctly concluding) make payment to Skold of any shortfall. In the event that there was an overpayment by CollaGenex hereunder, Skold shall promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after Skold’s receipt of the independent auditor’s report so correctly concluding) refund to CollaGenex or credit to future royalties, at CollaGenex’s election, the excess amount. Skold shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underreporting by CollaGenex of more than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount of royalties and Sublicense Income payments in any twelve (12) month period, in which case, CollaGenex shall bear the full cost of such audit.

ARTICLE 6

CONFIDENTIALITY, PUBLICATION AND PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

6.1 Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, CollaGenex and Skold agree that, until seven (7) years after the termination of this Agreement, each of CollaGenex or Skold, upon receiving or learning of any Confidential Information of the other Party, shall keep such Confidential Information confidential and otherwise shall not disclose or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall advise its employees and consultants who might have access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information of the confidential nature thereof and agrees that its employees shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall not disclose any Confidential Information of

- 14 -

the Disclosing Party to any employee who does not have a need for such information. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Purchased Assets shall be the Confidential Information of CollaGenex.

6.2 Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of CollaGenex and Skold may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to a Third Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to exercise the rights granted to or retained by it under this Agreement in filing or prosecuting patent applications, prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable governmental regulations, submitting information to tax or other governmental authorities (including Regulatory Authorities), or conducting clinical trials hereunder with respect to Products, provided that if a Party is required by law to make any such disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, to the extent it may legally do so, it will give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure and, save to the extent inappropriate in the case of patent applications or otherwise, will use its reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise). If the Disclosing Party has not filed a patent application with respect to such Confidential Information, it may require the Receiving Party to delay the proposed disclosure (to the extent the disclosing party may legally do so), for up to ninety (90) days, to allow for the filing of such an application.

6.3 Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall promptly return all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, including all reproductions and copies thereof in any medium, except that the Receiving Party may retain one copy for its legal files.

6.4 Unauthorized Use. If either Party becomes aware or has knowledge of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information, it shall promptly notify the disclosing Party of such unauthorized use or disclosure.

6.5 Public Announcements. Except as set forth in press releases published by CollaGenex and for filing a copy of this Agreement by CollaGenex with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to the extent CollaGenex determines to make such a filing, neither Party shall make any public announcement regarding this Agreement. The Parties agree that CollaGenex may issue press releases announcing the execution of this Agreement or the activities and results hereunder in CollaGenex’s standard form, provided that such press releases shall not contain the financial terms of Confidential Information of Skold, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

6.6 Injunctive Relief. Each Receiving Party acknowledges that the Disclosing Party or any other owner of the Confidential Information (which may include Affiliates of CollaGenex) would suffer irreparable harm if the Receiving Party were to violate the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and therefore the Receiving Party agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available to it, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled (without the requirement of posting any bond) to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction an injunction restraining the violation of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 CollaGenex. CollaGenex shall defend Skold and its Affiliates at CollaGenex’s cost and expense, and will indemnify and hold Skold and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred in connection with or arising out of any Third Party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) relating to (i) any material breach by CollaGenex of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of CollaGenex; provided, however, that in all cases referred to in this Section 7.1, CollaGenex shall have no liability to Skold for any Losses to the extent that such Losses were caused by any item for which Skold is required to indemnify CollaGenex pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.2 Skold. Skold agrees to defend CollaGenex and its Affiliates at Skold’s cost and expense, and will indemnify and hold CollaGenex and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred in connection with or arising out of any Third Party Claim relating to (i) any material breach by Skold of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Skold, provided, however, that in all cases referred to in this Section 7.2, Skold shall have no liability to CollaGenex for any Losses to the extent that such Losses were caused by any item for which CollaGenex is required to indemnify Skold pursuant to Section 7.1.

7.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the case of a Third Party Claim made by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) as to which a Party (the “Indemnitor”) may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Party seeking indemnification hereunder (“Indemnitee”) will notify the Indemnitor in writing of the Third Party Claim (and specifying in reasonable detail the factual basis for the Third Party Claim and to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim) reasonably promptly after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee and the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee therefor, the Indemnitor will be entitled, within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnitee of the commencement or assertion of any such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof (at the expense of the Indemnitor) with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, for so long as the Indemnitor is conducting a good faith and diligent defense. Should the Indemnitor so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that if under applicable standards of professional conduct a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in respect of such claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor) to represent

- 16 -

such Indemnitee with respect to the matters as to which a conflict of interest exists and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by such Indemnitor; provided, further, that the Indemnitor shall only be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for such Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will promptly supply to the Indemnitee copies of all correspondence and documents relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim and keep the Indemnitee informed of developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim, as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitee (including, without limitation, providing to the Indemnitee on reasonable request updates and summaries as to the status thereof). If the Indemnitor chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, all Indemnitees shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense thereof (such cooperation to be at the expense, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, of the Indemnitor). If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim within the one hundred twenty (120) day period set forth above, or if such good faith and diligent defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, after three (3) Business Days notice to the Indemnitor of its intent to do so, to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim for the account of the Indemnitor (with counsel selected by the Indemnitee), and to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, exercising reasonable business judgment.

(c) If the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnitor may recommend that by its terms obligates the Indemnitor to pay the full amount of Losses (whether through settlement or otherwise) in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally and irrevocably releases the Indemnitee completely from all liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, the Indemnitor shall not consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment), and the Indemnitee may refuse in good faith to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge, that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not (unless required by law) admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

7.4 Insurance. Immediately upon the first administration of a Product to a human by CollaGenex, its Affiliates or its licensees, and for a period of five (5) years after the expiration of this Agreement or the earlier termination thereof, CollaGenex shall obtain and/or maintain at its sole cost and expense, product liability insurance. Such product liability insurance shall insure both Parties against all liability, including personal injury, physical injury, or property damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, distribution, or marketing of any Product. Upon the reasonable written request of Skold, CollaGenex shall provide written proof of the existence of such insurance.

- 17 -

7.5 Limitation of Liabilities. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL) ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT BY SUCH PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS ARTICLE 7 WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED SHALL SURVIVE ANY FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF A LIMITED OR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN.

ARTICLE 8

TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1 Term. Unless earlier terminated by mutual agreement of the Parties in writing or pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis until the obligation to pay royalties and Sublicense Income payments with respect to the sale of a Product in such country expires (the “Term”).

8.2 Voluntary Termination by CollaGenex. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, CollaGenex may terminate this Agreement at any time after March 31, 2007.

8.3 Material Breach. Upon a material breach of this Agreement by CollaGenex on the one hand, or Skold on the other hand (in such capacity, the “Breaching Party”), the other Party (in such capacity, the “Non-Breaching Party”) may provide written notice (a “Breach Notice”) to the Breaching Party specifying the material breach. If the Breaching Party fails to cure such material breach during the ninety (90) day period following the date on which the Breach Notice is provided (or, if applicable, such longer period, but not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days, as would be reasonably necessary for a diligent party to cure such material breach, provided the Breaching Party has commenced and continues its diligent efforts to cure during the initial ninety (90) day period), then the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis with respect to the Product and country to which the breach relates.

8.4 Continuing Rights of Sublicensees. Upon any termination of this Agreement, each sublicense previously granted by CollaGenex, or any of its Affiliates, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of CollaGenex (each, an “Independent Sublicensee”) shall remain in effect and shall become a direct license or sublicense, as the case may be, of such rights by Skold to such Independent Sublicensee, subject to the Independent Sublicensee agreeing in writing to assume CollaGenex’s terms, conditions and obligations to Skold under this Agreement as they pertain to the sublicensed rights. To the extent any Independent Sublicensee was obligated to pay any royalties or milestones to CollaGenex under the terms of the sublicense agreement with such Independent Sublicensee, CollaGenex shall be entitled to receive fifty percent (50%) of such royalty or milestone payments that are paid to Skold.

- 18 -

8.5 Effect of Termination.

(a) Termination by Skold for CollaGenex’s Breach. In the event this Agreement is terminated by Skold for a material breach of CollaGenex pursuant to Section 8.3, on a Product-by-Product and/or country-by-country basis, as applicable, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) CollaGenex shall promptly return and/or provide to Skold all Confidential Information of Skold (or if such termination is only with respect to a Product and/or country, shall return and/or provide all Confidential Information with respect to such Product and/or country), provided that CollaGenex shall be entitled to retain a copy for archival purposes or as otherwise required by law;

(ii) all amounts due and payable hereunder by CollaGenex to Skold shall be immediately paid (or if such termination is only with respect to a Product, all amounts due and payable with respect to such terminated Product shall be immediately paid);

(iii) CollaGenex shall transfer to Skold without any payment the Purchased Assets and Additional Records relating to such terminated Product and/or country. Such transfer shall be accompanied by documentation, data and information related to the Purchased Assets that can be transferred by CollaGenex; provided that if the Purchased Asset relates to a Product or a country that is not being terminated, CollaGenex shall not transfer such Purchased Asset but shall grant to Skold an exclusive license with respect to such Purchased Asset in connection with such terminated Product and/or country; and

(iv) In the event that CollaGenex, pursuant to this Section 8.5, transfers its rights to the Purchased Assets to Skold, then CollaGenex’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.1 shall survive for any Losses that arise from the development or commercialization of the Products before the date of transfer.

(b) Voluntary Termination by CollaGenex. If CollaGenex terminates this Agreement in whole, pursuant to Section 8.2, the following provisions shall be applicable:

(i) CollaGenex shall promptly return and/or provide to Skold all Confidential Information of Skold hereunder, provided that CollaGenex shall be entitled to retain a copy for archival purposes or as otherwise required by law;

(ii) CollaGenex shall, within six (6) months, discontinue sales of any then-existing terminated Product inventory, if not terminated by Skold for a material breach of CollaGenex pursuant to Section 8.3;

(iii) CollaGenex shall transfer to Skold the Purchased Assets and Additional Records relating to such terminated Products. Such transfer shall be accompanied by documentation, data and information related to the Purchased Assets that can be transferred by CollaGenex;

(v) all amounts due and payable by CollaGenex to Skold shall be immediately paid.

- 19 -

(i) Skold shall promptly return and/or provide to CollaGenex all Confidential Information of CollaGenex hereunder (or if such termination is only with respect to a Product and/or country, shall return and/or provide all Confidential Information with respect to such Product and/or country), provided that Skold shall be entitled to retain a copy for archival purposes or as otherwise required by law;

CollaGenex shall no longer be required to pay any royalties or Sublicense Income payments to Skold.

(d) Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations. Unless explicitly provided otherwise in this Agreement, termination, relinquishment or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights, which shall have accrued to the benefit to any Party prior to such termination, relinquishment or expiration, including damages arising from any breach hereunder. Such termination, relinquishment or expiration shall not relieve any Party from obligations which are expressly indicated to survive termination or expiration of the Agreement, including, without limitation, those obligations set forth in Sections 4.8, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.6, 8.4, and 8.5 and Articles 7 and 9.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Dispute Resolution; Mediation. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof (each, a “Dispute”) shall first be referred by the Parties to their respective senior-level executives, or their designees, for attempted resolution through good faith negotiations. In the event that such persons cannot resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days following either Party’s written request to initiate such negotiations, either Party may, by written notice to the other, require that the Dispute be referred to non-binding mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with its then-current Commercial Mediation Rules. The presiding mediator shall have experience with disputes involving the technology that is the subject matter of this Agreement. The mediation shall be conducted in the English language and all mediation sessions shall be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Parties shall each be responsible for one-half of any fees or other amounts payable to the AAA or the mediator, and each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and other expenses in connection with the mediation. If efforts at mediation are unsuccessful in resolving the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the first mediation session, either Party may pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies available to it, subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this paragraph shall be the sole and exclusive means of resolving any and all Disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement, either Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction pending the outcome of any negotiations or mediation conducted hereunder.

- 20 -

9.2 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred (in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates provided that the assigning Party guarantees the performance of this Agreement by such Affiliate; and provided further, that either Party may assign this Agreement to a successor to all or substantially all of the assets or line of business to which this Agreement relates whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other similar transaction. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and subject to the terms of the foregoing sentence, inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their permitted successors, legal representatives and assigns.

9.4 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for loss or damages, or shall have any right to terminate this Agreement for any default or delay attributable to any Force Majeure, provided that the Party affected gives prompt notice of any such cause to the other Party. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations hereunder for so long as it is thereby disabled from performing such obligations; provided, however, that such affected Party promptly commences and continues to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such disablement as soon as practicable.
