7.    Paragraph 5(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

 

Such reports with respect to Year 4 shall be consistent with the TGC Accounting Method. If there is an anticipated cost variance of greater than [*] from the agreed upon work plan and budget, or if additional work is required by IAVI that was not included in the work plan or budget, Children’s and TGC shall provide to IAVI a written explanation of the reason(s) for the variance, and the variance shall be subject to timely written acceptance by an officer of IAVI in IAVI’s sole discretion. IAVI, Children’s and TGC shall meet, by mutual agreement, at least once per [*] to monitor the status of progress under the work plan and to make any adjustments as may be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties as necessary.

 

8.    Paragraph 6(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following sentence:

 

In addition, IAVI may terminate any reasonably separable portions of the work designated in the Work Plan and Budget by giving at least thirty (90) days’ notice in writing to Children’s and TGC, provided however, IAVI will be required to pay TGC and/or Children’s the budgeted Full Time Equivalents and actual non-labor costs to the extent actually incurred by TGC and/or Children’s and not transferred to another project during the ninety day period.

 

9.    Paragraph 5A. is hereby added between section 5 and 6 in the Agreement as follows:

 

LICENSE. TGC hereby grants to IAVI or its designee(s) a [ * ] license to [ * ] intellectual property owned by TGC that has been [ * ], including but not limited to [ * ] for research, development, sale, manufacture and commercialization by IAVI of a Program Vaccine in the Program Field. IAVI shall convey to Children’s the rights previously conveyed to Children’s in the foregoing by TGC under the Agreement. IAVI shall have no right to operate pursuant to this Section 5A unless TGC has declined or is reasonably unable to provide its services related to development and/or manufacturing of a Program Vaccine for the Developing Countries or unless IAVI terminates the Agreement pursuant to Section 6.e(ii) or Section 6.f(i). TGC will notify IAVI by [ * ] of the conditions imposed by any third party licensor, if such TGC license is contractually sub-licensable, to sublicensing intellectual property controlled by TGC that would otherwise have been licensed to IAVI hereby if owned by TGC and TGC will sublicense such intellectual property to IAVI promptly thereafter if IAVI notifies TGC that it is willing to be responsible for such conditions.

 

10.    Paragraph 11(l) is hereby added to the Agreement as following:

 

If, TGC, for reasons other than the cessation of funding to TGC for a Program Vaccine by IAVI, or its partner(s) in development of a Program Vaccine for those

 

3


countries outside the Developing World, has substantially ceased efforts to continue development of a Program Vaccine or if TGC notifies IAVI that it does not intend to continue substantial development of a Program Vaccine (“Abandoned Candidate”) then, after written notice from IAVI that IAVI intends to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 11(l), TGC has [ * ] to make [ * ] to resume such development. If TGC does not resume such development then TGC shall be deemed to have granted IAVI a [ * ] license to its rights, if any, [ * ], to conduct research and development of the Abandoned Candidate in all countries of the world not already covered by the license grant herein for Developing Countries. Royalties shall be payable thereunder for sales outside the Developing Countries at a level reasonably determined by IAVI to reflect [ * ].

 

11.    Paragraph 11(m) is hereby added to the Agreement as follows:

 

The parties shall coordinate their efforts for all regulatory filings, anywhere in the world, which are in support of development and/or commercialization of a Program Vaccine for end use in Developing Countries, in connection with the Research and Development Program or for Program Vaccines including, but not limited to, Investigation New Drug applications and Marketing Approval Applications, other than filings related to manufacturing the Program Vaccine. TGC and Children’s agree that IAVI is hereby authorized to make such filings, on behalf of TGC and Children’s, upon prior approval by TGC and Children’s, which approval shall not be [*]. IAVI agrees that certain regulatory filings related to the Drug Master File are proprietary to TGC and as such, IAVI will be permitted to reference the portions of the TGC Drug Master File necessary to complete any regulatory filing made by IAVI on behalf of the parties hereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed to convey to IAVI any right, title or interest of TGC or Children’s in or to such regulatory filings. It shall not be deemed unreasonable for TGC or Children’s to withhold their consent for any regulatory filing in the event such filing compromises the development and/or commercialization of any product by a party with intellectual property rights from TGC or Children’s that are not conveyed to IAVI by TGC or Children’s in this Agreement.

 

12.    The parties agree to negotiate in good faith in order to achieve no later than [ * ] or such later date as mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement, agreement on further revisions to this Agreement, pursuant to which intellectual property and other rights in the Program Vaccines, including any Program Inventions and Background Technology in the Program Field, may be licensed to IAVI and if so licensed IAVI will become obligated to pay TGC (and Children’s) compensation which, in consideration of the scope and nature of the revised Agreement, may include but is not limited to [ * ] outside the Developing Countries.

 

13.    Paragraph 18 of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the notice addresses for IAVI with the following:
