This Section 8.9.0 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

2.4 Sections 9.4.1 and 9.4.2 in their current wording are hereby deleted, and for the avoidance of doubt the milestone payments covered thereunder will not become due, and replaced by a new Section 9.4.1:

Page 8 of 25

payment under this Section 9.4.1 shall not become due; provided, however, that in case AstraZeneca subsequently confirms to Dynavax in writing that it does not intend to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 20.2, or does not serve notice to terminate this Agreement in its entirety in accordance with said Section 20.2 within [***] months of having served the notice first mentioned in this Section 9.4.1, then such milestone payment shall become due and payable within [***] days of such written confirmation or the expiration of such [***] months period, whichever is the earlier.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the actual aggregate amount for the Dynavax Development Work spent or incurred by Dynavax and paid for by AstraZeneca pursuant to Section 8.9.B (i) and 8.9.0 (the “Aggregate Amount”) exceed the total amount set forth in Section 8.9.B (i) (i.e. $22,000,000) by more than [***], or should the Dynavax Development Work not have been completed by [***] (the “Completion Date”), then the amount set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 9.4.1 shall be deemed [***] and, for the avoidance of doubt, the balance shall not become due. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the JSC may decide that a certain amount spent or incurred by Dynavax shall not be taken into account for the purpose of establishing whether and to what extent the Aggregate Amount has exceeded the total amount set forth in Section 8.9.B(i), or that the Completion Date shall be changed; in which case such certain amount spent or incurred shall be disregarded for the purpose of such calculation or such new date be deemed the Completion Date. Should, however, the JSC decide that the scope or nature of the Dynavax Development Work shall be modified then the resulting increase or decrease in costs paid for by AstraZeneca shall for the purpose of the calculation in this second paragraph of Section 9.4.1 mean a corresponding increase or decrease, as applicable, in the amount set forth in Section 8.9.B(i) and the resulting increase or decrease in time required to complete the Dynavax Development Work shall mean a corresponding adjustment of the Completion Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the remainder of Section 6.3 shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its wording.

2.6 The following paragraph shall be inserted as a new second sentence in Section 4.14:
