(c) Price Commitment.

(i) Upon WHOPQ, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, Company will offer and provide to Public Sector Purchasers the Aggregate Minimum Supply at the Annual Minimum Supply (as set forth in section 3(d)) of the Released Product for Maternal Immunization in the Developing Countries at a maximum price as reflected in Table A:

TABLE A

“Price Commitment” is equal to the [**] Costs (as adjusted from time to time under this section 3(c)) plus[**] xxxx-up but provided always that such price does not exceed:

[**] per Dose (USD) herein after the “[**]”

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the [**] described in Table A above is based on principle assumptions about Novavax future manufacturing efficiencies at the time of WHOPQ as set forth on Appendix C attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, and (2) to the extent that actual results differ from such Appendix C principal assumptions, then the Parties shall take such factors causing differing results into account and will thereafter adjust such [**] pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii).

[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

(ii) Notwithstanding Table A, within three (3) months prior to the estimated date for WHOPQ, and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, at every third anniversary thereafter, coinciding with UNICEF tenders, the Parties shall, in good faith, discuss applicable adjustments to the Price Commitment (whether upwards or downwards) to proportionately, fairly, and reasonably reflect the factors set forth in Appendix C, including the impact on such factors caused by external or internal circumstances, including inflation, currency fluctuations, efficiencies of scale, product demand and yield improvements. In preparation for considering any such price adjustment, in the event that there are changes in [**] Costs that, in the aggregate exceed [**] since the last calculation, then Company shall provide to the Foundation an update to its [**] Costs consistent with Appendix C and the Foundation’s COGS Principles and Assessment Methodology Handbook, at least sixty (60) days in advance of such third anniversary and the Parties shall meet in good faith to discuss such changes within sixty (60) days after Company provides the Foundation with such update. In the event of any conflict between Appendix C of this GACA and the Foundation’s COGS Principles and Assessment Methodology Handbook, Appendix C of this GACA shall control. Upon agreement of the Parties to any price adjustment (which shall be reflected in a signed writing by the parties), the applicable price adjustments shall become effective within three (3) months after such written agreement or in time for the coinciding UNICEF tender, whichever is earlier. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree on a revised Price Commitment, an independent third-party, with specific expertise in assessing costs, [**], and with experience with vaccines, reasonably acceptable to both Parties, shall be appointed to provide analysis of such potential adjustment upon the request of either Party and the cost of such analysis shall be shared equally by the Parties. That analysis will be shared with Company and the Foundation who will work together to resolve any adjustments to the Price Commitment. If there is no resolution within forty-five (45) days, the matter will be referred to Company’s President/CEO and the Foundation’s President of Global Health (or the equivalent in the event of any reorganization following which such position no longer exists). If these individuals are unable to resolve the matter of the revised Price Commitment based on this analysis within a further forty-five (45) days, then the price will be adjusted upwards in event that the third party analysis points to an upward adjustment or downwards if the third party analysis points to a downward adjustment, in each case, capped as follows: if the parties are unable to agree with respect to the first adjustment of the [**], then the adjustment shall be [**], as the case may be (based on the direction of the third party analysis) and if the parties are unable to agree as to any subsequent adjustments to the [**], then the adjustment shall be [**] as the case may be (based on the direction of the third party analysis).

(iii) Upon the written request of the Foundation and not more than once in each calendar year, Company will permit an independent third party accounting firm, with specific expertise in assessing costs [**] and with experience with vaccines selected by the Foundation and reasonably acceptable to Company, at Foundation’s expense, to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of Company as may be reasonably necessary for any year ending not more than three (3) years prior to the date of such request for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of [**] Cost consistent with Appendix C and the Foundation’s COGS Principles and Assessment Methodology Handbook, for determining [**] Cost. Such third party accounting firm shall provide any such report to both the Foundation and Company and if such third party accounting firm identifies a discrepancy in [**] Cost made during such period, appropriate adjustments will be determined within ninety (90) days of the date such accounting firm's written report is delivered to both Parties.

(iv) Multi Dose Vial Options: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parties agree that to the extent the Company switches to a multi-dose presentation of the Product that meets WHOPQ requirements and satisfies the Company’s Global Access Commitments, the Price Commitment shall be appropriately reviewed and may be adjusted by mutual written agreement of the Parties, consistent with the process described in Section 3(c)(ii) above.

(v) Notwithstanding section 3(c)(i) above, in the event that Company sells Released Product for Maternal Immunization to a Public Sector Purchaser in any country (whether a Developing Country or a Developed County) at a lower than the Price Commitment in subsection 3(c)(i) above, Company will promptly offer such Released Product for sale at such lower price to any Developing Countries in which the sale, use or marketing of Released Product is authorized by WHOPQ or applicable country registrations. Company will promptly notify the Foundation of any price decrease of the Released Product for Maternal Immunization.

(d) Volume Commitment.

(i) In order to provide the greatest health benefit of the Product, Company desires to address worldwide need for the Product including demand for its use in Maternal Immunization from Developed and Developing Countries. The Parties recognize that introduction and demand for the Product occurs over a period of time and that Company may not be fully able to address such demand in the period proximate to introduction and approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that Company’s current and planned Total Product Manufacturing Capacity may not be sufficient to meet worldwide demand. Accordingly, the Parties desire to define the allocation of Product that Company intends to reserve to fulfill orders for use in Maternal Immunization in Developing Countries.

(ii) Upon applicable regulatory approval(s), the Company shall make the Released Product, available and accessible to Public Sector Purchasers for Maternal Immunization on the terms set forth in this GACA.

(iii) Company shall ensure Aggregate Minimum Supply is met subject to the Annual Minimum Supply as defined in Table B below in the context of Timing of First Sales set forth in Table B (“Annual Minimum Supply”). Company shall ensure that this Annual Minimum Supply is available each year starting at the date of the first sale of Released Product to a Public Sector Purchaser for a Developing Country and ending upon termination of this GACA, including any Extended Term as described in Section 3(d)(v). Company shall use reasonable and diligent efforts to manufacture, fill finish, package, label, store and ship the Released Product in accordance with (a) all tender, purchase and sale agreements with any Public Sector Purchaser(s) up to the Aggregate Minimum Supply, (b) all applicable safety, legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements, and (c) the terms of this GACA. Shipping terms will be FCA Incoterms 2010, unless agreed in writing otherwise.

TABLE B

Timing of First Sales		Annual Minimum Supply

If the first sale to a Public Sector Purchaser for Maternal Immunization for a Developing Country (following WHOPQ) is within 0-3* years of first sale in a Developed Country		Annual Minimum Supply shall be the greater of (a) [] of Company’s Total Product Manufacturing Capacity per year, or (b)[] Doses of Released Product per year for Maternal Immunization; which Annual Minimum Supply shall apply for the first 3* years after first sale in a Developed Country.

		After such 3* years, Annual Minimum Supply will increase to the greater of (a) [] of Company’s Total Product Manufacturing Capacity per year, or (b) [] Doses of Released Product per year for Maternal Immunization

If the first sale to a Public Sector Purchaser for Maternal Immunization for a Developing Country (following WHOPQ) is more than 3* years after the first sale in a Developed Country		Annual Minimum Supply is the greater of (a) [] of Company’s Total Product Manufacturing Capacity per year, or (b) [] Doses of Released Product per year for Maternal Immunization

*Novavax shall have the right to request in writing that such period be extended to 4 years and the Foundation shall reasonably consider in good faith such request in a timely manner, in light of the current or anticipated demand from Developing Country(ies) and/or Public Sector Purchaser(s) and in light of factors provided to Foundation by Company.

(iv) Obligation to Bid on Public Sector Purchaser Tenders. Subject at all times to the Aggregate Minimum Supply and Annual Minimum Supply, the Volume Commitment requires the Company to use reasonable and diligent efforts to bid on applicable Public Sector Purchaser tenders in accordance with the Price Commitment for any Public Sector Purchaser purchase order with an effective date that falls within the Term or Extended Term.

(v) Volume Commitment Rollover. During the Term of this GACA, in the event that during a calendar year the full amount of the Annual Minimum Supply is not committed for purchase by applicable Public Sector Purchasers (“Undemanded Capacity”), Company shall have the right to allocate such Undemanded Capacity as it sees fit and the same amount of Undemanded Capacity shall be rolled over into one or more extended years, depending on the amount of such Undemanded Capacity, which shall thereby extend the Term of this GACA (“Extended Term”). During the Extended Term, the terms and conditions of this GACA shall apply, until the Aggregate Minimum Supply is met. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this GACA, this volume commitment rollover provides for an Extended Term that ensures that Company provides the Aggregate Minimum Supply over the Term or Extended Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may, but will not be obligated to, provide more than the Annual Minimum Supply to Public Sector Purchasers within any given calendar year during the Term or Extended Term. The Parties agree that in any event, the Extended Term shall not exceed five (5) additional years at which time the Volume Commitment will be deemed fulfilled.

[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

(vi) experiences any Force Majeure Event, failure to cure or nonperformance exceeding 150 days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing.

(b) Notice of Charitability Default. Except as to Charitability Default under Section 6(a)(vi), each Party agrees that if it becomes aware of a Charitability Default it will promptly notify the other Party, and Company shall thereafter provide to the Foundation a proposed strategy to cure the Charitability Default within forty-five (45) days of notification. Notwithstanding anything in this GACA to the contrary, the Foundation will not lose any rights or remedies solely as a result of a failure to notify Company after it becomes aware of a Charitability Default, provided that such failure to notify shall not otherwise impede, prevent, or materially and detrimentally impact the ability and/or expense associated with Company’s cure of such Charitability Default. In addition, Company agrees to promptly notify the Foundation of any facts and circumstances which could reasonably cause a Charitability Default hereunder (including with respect to any Charitability Default under Section 6(a)(i) through (vi)). Subject to Section 15(b), if Company fails to either cure the Charitability Default within ninety (90) days of notice of a Charitability Default (the “Cure Period”) or if such Charitability Default requires additional time to be cured as agreed by the parties (“Extended Cure Period”) and the Company fails to use reasonable and diligent efforts to cure such Charitability Default, then the Foundation will immediately be granted the Global Access License rights set forth in this Section 6. For the avoidance of doubt, if the period of the Force Majeure event or any attempt to cure or any nonperformance (including due to Force Majeure) exceeds one hundred and fifty (150) days from the notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the Foundation shall immediately be granted the Global Access License as set forth in Section 6.

(c) License Triggers

(i) If a Charitability Default is not cured by the end of the Cure Period or Extended Cure Period, effective immediately, Company hereby grants a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicenseable, royalty-free and fully-paid up, worldwide (subject to Section 6(c)(ii) below) license to the Foundation to all intellectual property, technology, know-how, and information owned, controlled or used (subject to reasonably sublicensability by third party licensor(s)) by the Company at the time of such Charitability Default that are necessary or useful to research, develop, make, have made, offer-for-sale, sell, import, export, distribute or use the Product, such license solely to research, develop, make, have made, offer-for-sale, sell, import, export, distribute or use Product for Maternal Immunization intended for the benefit of people in Developing Countries (“Global Access License”). Upon a Global Access License, Company may reasonably seek to assign any and all such intellectual property rights, including third-party licenses, to the Foundation or the Foundation’s licensee as appropriate, and the Foundation will reasonably work with the Company to accept such assignment.

(ii) The Parties agree and acknowledge that in order to achieve Global Access and make the Product available and accessible in Developing Countries, certain activities may be required to occur in one or more Developed Countries, such as manufacture, distribution, or sale (such as to an entity procuring Product for use in Developing Countries). For example, the manufacture of Product (intended for use in Developing Countries) may occur in a Developed Country. Similarly, certain aspects of the distribution or supply chain may occur in (or pass through) one or more Developed Countries, e.g. the Product may be transported through a Developed Country en route to the final destination of the Product in a Developing Country. Similarly, the procurement entities which may purchase Product (for or on behalf of a Developing Country) may be located in a Developed Country or the sales transactions related thereto may occur in a Developed Country, even though the final destination of the Product is a Developing Country. Accordingly, the Global Access License hereunder is intended to permit such Developed Country activities which are incidental or necessary to making the Product available and accessible in Developing Countries.

APPENDIX C

Principal Assumptions for Price Cap Calculation

The initial Maximum Price Cap described in Table A is based on the assumptions of Novavax’ US-based facility having the capacity to produce, [**] by the date of WHOPQ, 120 microgram (120 µg) Doses of Product annually using up to [**] reactors (or equivalent) assuming [**] weeks of production per year, an overall batch success rate of [**] percent [**], and an average of [**] yield, and [**] percent [**] overage/loss (averaged over all batches per year). These assumptions are expected to be a base case for production at the time of WHOPQ. Since a primary objective of this GACA is to assure affordable and accessible Product to people in Developing Countries, the Company agrees that a decline in the overall batch success rate below [**] from the base case will not have an upward impact on the Product cost per Dose nor an upward impact on the [**].
