Each Party shall guard any Confidential Information of the other Party with the same level of diligence as it normally guards any of its own internal confidential, proprietary information. Each Party shall be responsible for the breach of any of the provisions of this Article 13 by a Person to whom such Party discloses information contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be relieved of the confidentiality and limited use obligations of this Agreement with respect to any information that:
          (a) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the receiving Party; or
          (b) is acquired in good faith in the future by the receiving Party from a third party not under an obligation of confidence to the disclosing Party with respect to such information.
          The Parties understand and agree that it shall be the receiving Party’s burden of proof to show the applicability of any of the exceptions set forth in clauses (a) or (b) above.
     13.02 Permitted Disclosure.
          Notwithstanding the above obligations of confidentiality and non-use, a Party may disclose information as and to the extent required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In making such permitted disclosures as set forth in this Section 13.02, the disclosing Party shall use reasonable efforts to promptly first notify the owner of the Confidential Information so as to allow the owner of the Confidential Information an opportunity to seek a protective order or otherwise limit any such disclosure. In any event, the disclosing Party shall only disclose such information as is required to be disclosed pursuant to the law, regulation, rule or order, and shall obligate the recipient to secrecy on the same terms as set forth herein. Each Party shall restrict the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other so that only the Persons that need to know it shall be informed and the disclosure be limited to only such portions as necessary for the purposes of this Agreement.

     13.03 Publication and Promotional Materials.
          Neither Party shall state or imply, in any advertisement or sales promotional material (a) the name of the other Party or the name(s) of any employee(s) of the other Party; or (b) the name of any Affiliate of the other Party or the name(s) of any employee(s) of such Affiliate without the prior written consent of the other Party.

In the event that pursuant to the foregoing a Party shall file a copy of this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or other securities commission of such other jurisdictions whose laws may apply to either Party, it shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for all portions thereof reasonably requested by the other Party. Any proposed announcement or filing by a Party shall be made available to the other Party in advance of publication or filing, as the case may be, for review and comment. If a Party decides to make an announcement or disclosure required by law or as otherwise permitted under this section of this Agreement, it will provide the other Party with at least ten (10) days, where possible, advance written notice of the text of any such written announcement or disclosure or content of any non-written disclosure or announcement, except to the extent applicable law requiring disclosure would not permit such advance notice (such as in the case of certain securities filings), in which case the disclosing Party will give the maximum notice possible under the circumstances, so that the other Party will have an opportunity to comment upon the announcement or disclosure.
          (b) Except for permissible publications under this Article 13, neither Party will publish any information based upon or derived from the work performed under this Agreement without the prior review and consent of the Parties pursuant to this Article 13.
     13.05 Conflict.
          With respect to information disclosed on or after the date hereof between Graceway and Novavax under the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and prevail. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall govern and prevail.

Graceway, or (c) any claim, suit, or proceeding brought by a third party arising out of or related to the use or commercialization of the Product by or on behalf of Graceway or any of its Affiliates, except in each case to the extent Novavax is obligated to indemnify Graceway under Section 16.01.
     16.03 Claims.
          If any claim (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against a Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) that, if sustained, would give rise to Damages to a Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause notice of the claim to be delivered to the Indemnifying Party along with all of the facts, information or materials relating to such claim of which the Indemnified Party is aware; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided for hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, unless the Third Party Claim involves potential conflicts of interest or substantially different defenses for the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim that, if sustained, would give rise to a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and reasonable efforts to make employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle or compromise a Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party may pay, settle or compromise a Third Party Claim (a) with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (b) without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, so long as such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party

from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and (ii) does not subject the Indemnified Party to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy.
