Awardee must also comply with the CEPI Policies and Procedures listed in Schedule C to this Agreement, as the same may be amended or updated pursuant to Clause 6.2, which include specified procurement requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CEPI’s Procurement Policy and Travel Policy will not apply to the Awardee-Funded Study. This Agreement incorporates requirements from CEPI’s own funders, and CEPI will cooperate with Awardee to ensure that it is able to fulfill its obligations as found in the CEPI Policies and Procedures and this Agreement. For clarity, the CEPI Policies and Procedures shall not apply retroactively.

6.2

Amendment of CEPI Policies and Procedures. CEPI may notify Awardee from time-to-time that the CEPI Policies and Procedures listed in Schedule C to this Agreement have been amended or updated, including by the addition of CEPI policies and procedures.

7.1	Clinical Studies. If any Work Package includes research involving human subjects, such activities must comply with applicable laws, relevant regulatory agencies and with CEPI’s Clinical Trials Policy.

7.2

Clinical Data. The data arising in the conduct of a clinical trial will be collected in a way that ensures that each subject, prior to enrolment and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), provides informed consent to allow:

direct access to her or his medical records;

the processing of data relating to her or him and to the movement of that data to other countries, including countries outside of the European Economic Area;

the transfer of such data to Awardee;

the transfer of anonymised data to CEPI in accordance with Clause 11;

the collection and use of clinical study data (duly anonymised and, at CEPI’s request, blinded) in accordance with and for the purposes indicated in Clause 11;

the use of such data for the purpose of obtaining approval from applicable regulatory agencies.

7.3

Priority for Certain Clinical Studies. Awardee acknowledges that the pool of subjects available in areas of Outbreak to participate in a clinical study to test products such as the Product may be limited. Accordingly, if CEPI reasonably determines in consultation with experts (for example a sub-group or subcommittee of CEPI’s Scientific Advisory Committee that CEPI determines has

ANNEX A: TERMS AND CONDITIONS – SCHEDULE A

appropriate expertise) that a product other than the Awardee’s Product has substantially greater potential, as determined in accordance with WHO guidance or relevant local regulatory guidance and should be used for a particular clinical study of subjects in areas of Outbreak, the Awardee agrees that it shall abide by such decision and will not proceed with any clinical study of the Product with subjects from areas of Outbreak unless agreed with CEPI. In the event that Awardee must discontinue a clinical study of the Product in areas of Outbreak according to CEPI´s determination pursuant to this Clause 7.3, then CEPI shall (i) cooperate with Awardee in an appropriate wind down of the study and (ii) to the extent not funded in advance by CEPI, reimburse Awardee for Awardee’s reasonably incurred non-cancellable expenses relating to such discontinued clinical study. For clarity, Awardee shall not pay back any sums already received from CEPI that have been actually spent by Awardee in connection with such discontinued clinical study. For the purposes of this Clause, CEPI agrees that nothing in this Clause 7.3 will prevent (i) Awardee from undertaking a Pivotal Study in any country; or (ii) Awardee fulfilling its obligations under its risk management plan prepared by Awardee in connection with its biologics license application in any country, including but not limited to post registration efficacy trials or any other commitment with any relevant regulatory authority to conduct a clinical study that would support the development of the Product . For the purposes of this Agreement, “Pivotal Study” shall mean a clinical study designed to fulfil the requirement for the filing of an application for a marketing authorization for a Product and that is acceptable to the relevant regulatory authority as a basis for the grant of a marketing authorization.

7.4	The Awardee will:

be the sponsor of any clinical study (unless CEPI and Awardee otherwise agree in writing);

be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all regulatory approvals (including ethical committee approvals) necessary or reasonably useful for the conduct of the clinical trial and appropriate clinical trial insurance cover;

publish details of any clinical study in a publicly accessible clinical study register, where patient privacy is upheld, as required under law and, as applicable, prior to the commencement of patient recruitment for such clinical study;

ensure that any informed consent form permits the use of Project Results described in these T&Cs and in the IPDP;

establish a Trial Steering Committee (TSC) for clinical studies funded by CEPI (whether in whole or in part);

ANNEX A: TERMS AND CONDITIONS – SCHEDULE A

establish a Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB);

notify the JMAG and TSC in writing immediately following any Safety Issues or similar events;

verify that the clinical study data are complete and include all completed case report forms and all other clinical study documentation required to be in the possession of a clinical trial sponsor by applicable law; and

subject to the confidentiality provisions contained in Clause 22.4, permit a CEPI representative or nominee (except for any matters that should remain blinded to CEPI in the interests of the integrity of the clinical study and except for closed sessions) to:

attend meetings of the TSC and the DSMB for the clinical study as an observer (either in person or by electronic means); and

ii.

receive all papers that a member of the TSC or DSMB would be entitled to receive.

8.	*Animal Studies*

8.1

Animal Studies. If any Work Package includes studies using animals, such activities must comply with applicable laws as well as CEPI’s Animals in Research Policy. Upon request by Awardee, CEPI shall provide further guidance on CEPI funded animal studies promptly so that no delay in the agreed Project timelines occurs.

8.2	The Awardee will:

obtain and maintain all regulatory approvals (including ethical committee approvals) necessary or reasonably useful for the conduct of research involving animals; and

inform JMAG of any anticipated deviations from the original design of animal studies described in the IPDP and obtain JMAG approval before implementing those changes.

9.	*Standards and Assays*

9.1

Standards Development. If any Work Package relates to the development of biological reference materials, Awardee will provide relevant materials and data and shall grant rights to their use for International Standards development, to one of either the WHO or the Xxxx-Xxxxxxx-Institute (PEI) in Germany or, if agreed by the Parties, another independent standards development agency.

ANNEX A: TERMS AND CONDITIONS – SCHEDULE A

9.2	Assay Development. A Work Package may include the development of assays (including immunogenicity and potency/release assays), as will be described in the IPDP.

9.3	The Awardee will:

as described in the IPDP, participate in collaborative interlaboratory studies for evaluation of a candidate reference material. Such studies ultimately will be included in reports to the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization; and

provide written Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”) for any assays developed and qualified with CEPI funding (in whole or in part) or with the use of samples or biological material facilitated by CEPI. Transfer capacity and technology relating to such assays to a designated, independent third party laboratory if required by CEPI for the assay to be validated for Phase 3 clinical trials. If and to the extent any SOPs incorporate Trade Secret Information or Confidential Information within Awardee Background IP, CEPI will maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with Clause 22.4 and Awardee and the designated third party laboratory shall first enter into a customary confidentiality agreement with Awardee governing the use and non-disclosure of such information, provided that Awardee and such third party laboratory shall not delay the execution of such agreement.

10.

Equitable Access. CEPI is committed to achieving equitable access to the outputs of all CEPI-supported programmes, including access to all applicable Project Results in accordance with this Agreement, pursuant to CEPI’s “Equitable Access” Policy. Equitable Access to Chikungunya vaccines means the regular supply of the vaccines in all Non-Traveler’s Market Countries that have a demand for the vaccines at an affordable price (as outlined in Clause 14.2) and, in the context of an Outbreak or Increased Outbreak Preparation Need, means that appropriate vaccines are first available to populations in the Affected Territory when and where they are needed, including to end an Outbreak or curtail an epidemic, regardless of ability to pay. Consistent with CEPI’s Equitable Access Policy, CEPI is also committed to supporting Equitable Access so that the economics are sustainable to the manufacturer.

14.2

With respect to pricing, the Awardee will ensure that: to the extent that Awardee commercializes Product which utilizes or otherwise benefits from, whether directly or indirectly, any Project Result, (i) the distribution of the Product in Non-Traveler’s Market Countries that are LMICs will be [***], and (ii) the distribution of the Product in Non-Traveler`s Market Countries that are not LMICs will be at [***]. In any case, “sustainable price” shall never be below Awardee`s manufacturing costs.

14.3

LMIC Manufacturer. To facilitate achievement of the conditions set out in Clauses 14.1 and 14.2, Awardee has agreed to transfer its technology to an LMIC manufacturer as outlined in the IPDP. Without limiting Awardee’s obligations under the IPDP, Awardee will, within [***] of the signature date of this Agreement, or within such other time period as may be set out in the IPDP if the IPDP is amended in accordance with Clause 2.4, sign a Sub-Awardee agreement with an LMIC manufacturer, which Sub-Awardee agreement shall meet the requirements of Clause 3.3 and shall obligate such LMIC manufacturer to manufacture the Product for regular supply in all Non-Traveler’s Market Countries that have a demand for Product and to supply the Product to Non-Traveler’s Market Countries under the conditions of Clause 14.2. Prior to signing such Sub-Awardee agreement with an LMIC manufacturer and prior to completion of technology transfer to enable such LMIC manufacturer to manufacture and supply the Product to Non-Traveler’s Market Countries, Awardee shall fulfill manufacturing and supply obligations for Non-Traveler’s Market Countries as set out in the IPDP.

14.4	Regulatory Approvals in LMICs. Awardee will, or will obligate its Sub-Awardee(s) to, use reasonable endeavours to obtain regulatory approvals and licensure for the Product in Non-Traveler’s Market Countries where there is a demand for the Product. The Parties, through the JMAG, may discuss

ANNEX A: TERMS AND CONDITIONS – SCHEDULE A

and agree on a list of such Non-Traveler’s Market Countries in which to seek such approvals and licensure and on a schedule for seeking such approvals and licensure, and Awardee will, or will obligate its Sub-Awardee(s) to, use reasonable endeavours to meet such schedule in such countries.

Until the rolling safety stock has been established by Awardee in accordance with Clause 15.2(ii), Awardee will make available to CEPI, at Awardee’s cost, any Investigational Product which is not needed by Awardee for Awardee`s Investigational Product lot-to-lot clinical trial(s).

Within [***] of receipt of marketing approval for the Product from the FDA, Awardee will produce, at Awardee’s own cost, a [***] safety stock comprised of not less than two hundred thousand (200,000) doses of final Drug Product. For clarity, Awardee will use commercially reasonable best efforts to keep such deadline of [***], however, it will be subject to the lead times of Awardee`s contract manufacturers and the time required for the release testing of the Product. Awardee may use such safety stock to supply the Awardee’s Traveler’s Market and will replenish such stock on a rolling basis at Awardee’s cost. The stock in paragraph 15.2(i) and this paragraph 15.2(ii) is referred to as (“Safety Stock”).

In case of an Outbreak or Increased Outbreak Preparation Need, CEPI may utilize such Safety Stock in the Affected Territory by giving notice in writing to Awardee and Awardee will dispatch all or some only of the Safety Stock, as instructed by CEPI and CEPI shall pay any reasonable costs incurred in connection with the utilization of the Safety Stock, including but not limited to transportation, distribution and storage in the Affected Territory.

if Awardee is [***] as a result of its development of the Product, [***] on the first to occur of: (x) [***]; and (y) [***].

15.4

Currency conversion. Where calculation of milestone payments due under this Agreement requires the conversion to US dollars of Net Sales generated in any other currency, the following shall apply. As Awardee reports Euro Net Sales in the group financial statements (all currencies converted into Euro according to the International Financial Reporting Standards), these amounts from the group financial statements will be converted using the annual average rate as quoted by the European Central Bank on the website. xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxxxxx.xx/

15.5

Awardee shall keep, and cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records relating to all Net Sales and by [***] in each year following launch of the Product, shall provide CEPI with a report setting out the amount of Net Sales made in the previous calendar year. CEPI shall, upon reasonable notice to Awardee, be entitled to send an independent auditor at CEPI`s cost, who shall be under obligations of confidentiality no less onerous than those set out in this Agreement, to access and review all documents, information, data and materials in the possession of Awardee directly relating to the calculation of Net Sales. If the review of such records reveals that Awardee has failed to accurately report information pursuant to this Clause 15.5 or to make any payment (or portion thereof) required under this Clause 15.5, then Awardee shall pay, within [***] after receipt of a written request, any underpaid amounts due under this Clause 15.5 together with interest thereon applied to the period from the date the amount should have been paid to the date it is actually paid at an interest rate equal to [***].

16.

Preparation for Outbreaks

16.1

Outbreak. CEPI will notify Awardee in writing in the event of an Outbreak or if there is an Increased Outbreak Preparation Need, in each case identifying the Affected Territory (“Outbreak Notice”). Once an Outbreak Notice has been provided by CEPI, CEPI shall have the right to direct how the Safety Stock referred to in Clause 15.2 a. or any Product manufactured pursuant to Clause 16.3Error! Reference source not found. may be used and to whom it may be provided in the Affected Territory. In consultation with relevant public health authorities in the Affected Territory, CEPI may request that Awardee discuss in good faith whether and how the Project Results could be utilized in response to the Outbreak Notice. Awardee is committed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to address Outbreaks and Increased Outbreak Preparation Need wherever they occur in the world. Following receipt of an Outbreak Notice, Awardee will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to increase the supply of Product available for use by CEPI or its nominees to an amount which equals at least [***] of the production forecast for the Products prepared by Awardee immediately prior to service of the Outbreak Notice and Awardee will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that such increased capacity is available for delivery to CEPI within [***] of the date of service of the Outbreak Notice. For clarity, Awardee will use commercially reasonable best efforts to keep such deadline of [***] (including discussing with Awardee’s contract manufacturers how they can meet the proposed deadlines), however, Awardee’s ability to meet deadlines will be subject to the lead times of Awardee`s contract manufacturers and the time required for the release testing of the Product. In the event that CEPI’s request for Product to meet the increased demand during an Outbreak or Increased Outbreak Preparation Need is in excess of the quantities that Awardee is able to supply to CEPI based on Awardee`s commercially reasonable best efforts, Awardee shall not be obliged to supply Product to CEPI under this Clause 16.1 to the extent that the supply of such quantities of Product to CEPI would result in Awardee being in breach of any binding contracts in existence on the date of service of the Outbreak Notice (which for the avoidance of doubt may include the supply of Products to customers for Awardee’s Traveler’s Market or in connection with any clinical trials). In such event, provided that Awardee has supplied Product in accordance with this Clause 16.1, Awardee shall not be considered to be in default, and Clauses 16 and 17 shall not apply.

16.2

Additional Product Development. Pursuant to an Outbreak Notice, CEPI may request that Awardee undertake additional Product development at CEPI’s expense or undertake other activities, including the pursuit of regulatory approvals and licensure to the extent not already obtained, with the aim of addressing the needs of the Affected Territory.

In addition to the Safety Stock referred to in Clause 15.2 a., CEPI may request that Awardee undertake, at CEPI’s expense, the manufacturing and maintenance of an additional stockpile of Investigational Product or Product for use in or for the Affected Territory. Such Product may be used for further clinical trials in Outbreak conditions to advance vaccine development, or pursuant to an emergency use authorization, in each case in emergency situations based on national or international guidance (such as WHO), or in such other manner within an Affected Territory as CEPI may reasonably determine. An additional Work Package covering this activity will be negotiated expeditiously and in good faith by the Parties.

16.4

Trusted Collaborator. Promptly after receipt of a written request from CEPI (or at any earlier time), Awardee will propose a third party, for example, a Sub-Awardee, as a preferred alternative to itself (“Trusted Collaborator”), that is capable of performing the work and would be prepared to undertake activities pursuant to Clause 16.2 or 16.3 in the event that Awardee declines CEPI’s request to do so, or if Awardee and CEPI do not reach agreement on a new Work Package. CEPI may also propose a Trusted Collaborator to Awardee. Neither Party may unreasonably decline to accept the designation of a proposed Trusted Collaborator.

16.5

Technology Transfer. As described in the IPDP, Awardee will be transferring technology to two Sub-Awardees (IDT and an LMIC manufacturer) and the costs of such technology transfers are included in the Project Budget. Awardee will promptly and diligently provide all necessary guidance, information, materials and assistance reasonably required to transfer Awardee’s technology to each such Sub-Awardee as outlined in the IPDP. Pursuant to an Outbreak Notice, CEPI may request to accelerate the timelines for transfer of Awardee’s technology to one or both of such Sub-Awardees and/or CEPI may request an expansion of the transfer to another Trusted Collaborator (other than such Sub-Awardees) if that would achieve the transfer more quickly. If CEPI requests transfer of Awardee’s technology to another Trusted Collaborator, Awardee will promptly and diligently provide all necessary guidance, information, materials and assistance reasonably required by such Trusted Collaborator to accomplish the activities that may be requested by CEPI under Clause 16.2 or 16.3 (“Technology Transfer”) at CEPI’s cost. Awardee shall carry out the Technology Transfer to such other Trusted Collaborator pursuant to the terms and conditions of a to-be-agreed-upon confidentiality agreement in accordance with this Agreement to be entered into between Awardee and the Trusted Collaborator governing the Trusted Collaborator’s use and non-disclosure of information and materials provided in connection with the Technology Transfer, provided that Awardee and the Trusted Collaborator shall not delay the execution of such agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event any country in the Awardee’s Traveler’s Market is included in the Affected Territory, Clauses 16 and 17 shall not apply to such country in the Awardee`s Traveler`s Market on the condition that Awardee shall, at the request of public health agencies in such country in the Awardee’s Traveler’s Market, supply the Product to all such public health agencies that request the Product in a quantity and at a price as agreed with the relevant public health agencies. The price agreed with the relevant public health agency shall not exceed the [***]. For purposes of this Clause 16.7, “similar volume” shall mean a volume within the range of [***]. For clarity, if Awardee fails to comply with the foregoing supply obligation with respect to any country in the Awardee’s Traveler’s Market that is included in the Affected Territory, the terms of Clauses 16 and 17 shall apply to such country in the Awardee’s Traveler’s Market that is included in the Affected Territory. However, if the reason why Awardee cannot comply with the supply obligation is that (i) the quantity of Product requested by the relevant public health agency is impossible to fulfill due to Awardee´s capacities or (ii) the price [***] would be unsustainable to Awardee, Clauses 16 and 17 shall not apply in such case. In any case, “sustainable price” shall never be below Awardee`s manufacturing costs.
