3.FACILITIES
Responsibility for establishing UK Supply Chain
3.1Novavax shall be responsible (at its own cost and expense) for securing Manufacturing Facilities for the Manufacture of Product, including those within the Territory. It is intended that such Manufacturing Facilities shall include those operated by Fujifilm (for the Antigen) in accordance with clause 5 below (“Primary Facilities”). Novavax shall prioritise production from the Primary Facilities in respect of the Priority Order. If, despite Novavax using Commercially Reasonable Efforts Novavax reasonably believes that Novavax cannot secure one or more of those Primary Facilities on commercially reasonable terms or that such facilities are not suitable for good demonstrable scientific and technical reasons, then Novavax will communicate the issue to the Oversight Committee for discussion. In connection with the foregoing, the Authority shall provide reasonable assistance to Novavax to facilitate establishment of the Primary Facilities as part of the supply chain (or, at the Authority’s discretion or upon agreement by the Oversight Committee, alternative Facilities to the extent that Fujifilm cannot achieve production), but for the avoidance of doubt, the Authority shall have no right (on behalf of Novavax) or obligation to contract with or perform any acts for the Facilities, or fund any activities in connection therewith, and Novavax shall have ultimate decision-making authority in regard to all matters related to the Facilities. Subject to the foregoing, Novavax may supply Antigen from any Facility set forth in Schedule 2 that is approved by the MHRA for the Product in the event of the failure of a Primary Facility during the period in which Novavax is discussing alternate Facilities with the Authority as set forth in this clause 3.1 until any such agreed alternate Facility has been approved by the MITRA, after which time Novavax shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply Antigen from such alternative Facility in the UK (but may nonetheless continue to supply Antigen from any such Facility set forth in Schedule 2). As of the Amendment Date, Novavax has entered into an agreement with Fujifilm to supply Antigen for use within the Territory.
Facilities for Manufacture of the Product
3.2Novavax represents to the Authority that Schedule 2 comprises the complete list of all Facilities that are or will be involved or required in any aspect of the Manufacturing of the Product (including the Adjuvant and Antigen) as of the Amendment Date, provided that Novavax shall ensure that all Product shall be finally released only from a Facility based in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom and that is approved by the MHRA and listed on the Marketing Authorisation for the Product as an approved manufacturing and release facility. Novavax agrees to notify the Oversight
18


Committee should any change be made to or new facilities need to be added to Schedule 2. Any facility approved by the MHRA in a variation filing for the Product shall, following written notification by Novavax to the Authority, and subject to any [***] written objection issued by the Authority within [***] of receipt of such notification, be automatically deemed incorporated into Schedule 2, and Novavax may following the end of such [***] period, utilise such newly approved facility in the Manufacture of Product under this Agreement.
Validation Commitment
3.3Novavax shall ensure that pursuant to its (or its Affiliates’) applications for the Marketing Authorisation (and, if applicable, Emergency Use Authorisation) in respect of the Product, it and its Affiliates shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to qualify and validate in accordance with Applicable Laws and Applicable Standards (i) the Facilities necessary for the Manufacture of Product, including those Facilities set forth on Schedule 2; and (ii) any other necessary facilities being used by or on behalf of Novavax and its Affiliates for the Manufacture of Product based within the EEA but outside of the Territory, such that Product for the Territory could be sourced from and Manufactured within those other facilities.

Novavax grants the Authority a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty free licence to use and exploit such product information and any Intellectual Property Rights therein for the purpose of illustrating and describing the Product in product catalogues.
Emergency Use Authorisation
4.12The Parties acknowledge and agree that Novavax or the Authority may (but shall be under no obligation to) apply for an Emergency Use Authorisation for the Product with the Licensing Authority for the Territory for use with the indication in the Field. However, securing an Emergency Use Authorisation shall not relieve Novavax from the ongoing obligation to secure a Marketing Authorisation in the Territory for the Product with the indication in the Field.
Jurisdictional Limitations
4.13If due to its legal seat of incorporation Novavax is precluded or prevented from performing any obligations required of it pursuant to this Agreement due to Applicable Laws or Applicable Standards, including fulfilling any regulatory activities, applying for, maintaining or holding any Regulatory Approval, or Manufacturing or delivery of Product, then Novavax shall notify the Authority and shall procure that one or more of its Affiliates established within the Territory (or another acceptable jurisdiction) or, with the Authority’s prior written consent and solely in connection with holding a Marketing Authorisation and performing the obligations of a Marketing Authorisation holder, an approved Third Party service provider, shall fulfil those of Novavax’ obligations under this Agreement that Novavax is otherwise precluded or prevented from performing.
21

5.9.1[***]; and
5.9.2[***]
Alternative Facilities
5.10Prior to commencement of the full-scale manufacturing of Antigen by Fujifilm (or such other CMO secured by Novavax pursuant to clause 3.1, 5.5 and 5.6), Novavax and the Authority, through the Oversight Committee, shall discuss, acting in good faith, an interim supply of Conforming Product from Novavax’ existing Manufacturing facilities. For clarity, Novavax has final-decision making authority regarding the choice of Manufacturing facility for the Product, provided that such facilities have been approved by the MHRA for the Manufacture of the Product. The Authority acknowledges that such supply is subject to Novavax’ obligations to CoVax and its Funding Entities.

5.11If Novavax is delayed from fulfilling, or otherwise limited or unable to fulfil, Orders from any of the Facilities in the UK, then Novavax shall notify the Authority and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to secure Manufacture of Product from other facilities within its and its Affiliates’ supply chain (as approved in the Marketing Authorisation) in order to fulfil Orders in accordance with the Delivery Schedule and Baselines hereunder, subject to (i) Novavax using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure Antigen from a [***] supplier; and (ii) all Product being finally released only from a Facility based in [***] and that is approved by the MHRA and listed on the Marketing Authorisation for the Product as an approved manufacturing and release facility.
Priority Supply
5.12[***] Furthermore, Novavax shall ensure that Conforming Product shall be supplied to the Authority on a priority supply basis, meaning that:
5.12.1Novavax will supply the Authority with Conforming Product in full to meet the total quantity required under the Priority Order prior to supplying any Product to any other Person in, or for use within, the Territory;
5.12.2Novavax shall not Manufacture or supply Product for any Third Party outside of the Territory using Antigen from Fujifilm until the Priority Order has been satisfied in accordance with this Agreement (each of clause 5.12.1 and this 5.12.2 being “First Priority Supply”); and
5.12.3with respect to (i) Additional Orders; or (ii) fulfilment of any Order to be made from Facilities other than Fujifilm (for Antigen); then in either case of (i) or (ii) such supply shall be:
(a)made to the Authority at a volume that is proportionately comparable on a pro-rated basis to each of the volumes being provided to each other Person being supplied Product (“Pro-Rated Formula”) on or broadly around the same time from the same facilities, such proportion being calculated by [***]; and
(b)notwithstanding (a) above, in the case of Additional Orders being Manufactured at the Facilities:
(i)fulfilment of such Orders shall be prioritised, having regard to meeting the applicable Delivery Schedule, following any other earlier and confirmed orders to Third Parties; and
(ii)supply of Product to fulfil such Additional Orders from the Facilities shall be made to the Authority based on the Pro-Rated Formula, at least as early, if not earlier, than any supply of Product being made available to any Third Party ordered at or around the same time as such Additional Orders from the same Facilities;
(collectively the provisions of this clause 5.12.3 being “Equal Priority Supply”); and
collectively the First Priority Supply and Equal Priority Supply being “Priority Supply”).
25


5.13If Novavax proposes to supply Product to a Third Party outside, and for use outside, of the Territory before the grant or issuance of a Marketing Authorisation (and, if applicable, any Emergency Use Authorisation) for the Product in the Territory, then Novavax shall first notify the Authority of such decision and, subject to Priority Supply, Novavax shall, at Authority’s election (i) supply Product to the Authority pending grant of the Marketing Authorisation (and, if applicable, an Emergency Use Authorisation) and in quantities in compliance with the outstanding volume of Orders for the Authority; or (ii) reserve and allocate for the Authority physical volumes of Product in quantities in compliance with the outstanding volume of Orders for the Authority and hold the same for Delivery to the Authority immediately upon grant of the Marketing Authorisation (and, if applicable, Emergency Use Authorisation) or earlier upon the Authority’s written request; or (iii) not take any steps under (i) or (ii) above.
Product Conformance
5.14Novavax shall ensure that all Product supplied to the Authority (or its agent or designee) under this Agreement shall:
5.14.1be Manufactured (including being quality released) and labelled in accordance with Applicable Law, Applicable Standards, all Documentation and batch records, quality standards and all Regulatory Approvals;
5.14.2meet the Specification and shall, until expiry of the Minimum Remaining Shelf Life, continue to comply with the Specification, and meet the Marketing Authorisation and relevant Regulatory Approvals (subject to the proper storage and handling of the Product in accordance with the instructions in the SmPC by Authority or its designees or agents);
5.14.3be free of any identifiable Defect and shall be unadulterated;
5.14.4satisfy the Minimum Remaining Shelf Life at the time of Delivery; and
5.14.5be new and have not (i) previously left the control of Novavax or its Affiliates; (ii) been rejected or returned by any other entity; or (iii) been reprocessed or reworked; in each case of (i), (ii) and (iii) prior to their supply to the Authority under this Agreement.
No Exclusive Purchasing Arrangement
5.15Nothing in this Agreement shall amount to an exclusive purchasing obligation on the Authority or preclude or restrict the Authority from purchasing any products whatsoever from Third Parties, including any products that are complementary to, competitive to, equivalent to, or substitutable for the Product or that are indicated for or expected to be beneficial for use in the prophylaxis, treatment or vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.
Manufacturing Failures
5.16Without excusing or limiting the obligations under clause 5.14 and 8.8, and subject to notifying the Authority of the use of such alternative facilities, if for any reason related to the Facilities, Novavax is unable to supply Conforming Product to Authority in accordance with the Delivery obligations of this Agreement, then Novavax shall instead source and supply Product from its other supply chain arrangements involved in the Manufacture of Product for countries outside the Territory and shall ensure that such
26


Product sourced from those other facilities may be supplied hereunder as Conforming Product.
6.PRODUCTION SCHEDULES AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Production Schedules
6.1On a rolling monthly basis Novavax shall provide the Oversight Committee with the then most current and accurate production schedule for the Manufacture of Product that is the subject of this Agreement, which shall include the status of Facility reservations and stock levels of Antigen, Adjuvant, formulated drug substance and final (but unlabelled) Product.
Business Continuity Plan
6.2Novavax and its Affiliates currently have in place and shall, in consultation with the Authority within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, further develop, implement and thereafter keep current, a reasonable risk management programme for the Facilities and Manufacture and Delivery of the Product, including a Business Continuity Plan. At the Authority’s request, Novavax shall make a copy of the current Business Continuity Plan available to the Authority, or its representatives, for review. Novavax shall keep the Business Continuity Plan under review and shall update the same from time to time as reasonably appropriate.
6.3Novavax shall:
6.3.1test its Business Continuity Plan at reasonable intervals, and in any event no less than once every six (6) months, and update it to address any material failures; and
6.3.2use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that its and its Affiliates’ Business Continuity Plan complies, on an ongoing basis, with any specific and reasonable business continuity requirements, as may be discussed pursuant to the Oversight Committee.
6.1For the avoidance of doubt, having a Business Continuity Plan and its implementation does not relieve Novavax (or its Affiliates) from the Manufacturing and supply obligations under this Agreement.
7.ORDERING
Priority Order
7.1All orders placed by the Authority for Product prior to the Amendment Date are deemed withdrawn and void, without liability to either Party. Within [***] following the Amendment Date the Authority shall submit to Novavax a written order for sixteen million and one (16,000,001) Doses of the Product for Delivery in 2022-2023, consisting of (i) the Firm Order and (ii) the Conditional Order (together, the “Priority Order”), [***].
7.2Novavax shall accept the Priority Order in writing, and the confirmed Priority Order shall be binding upon the Parties subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement. [***]
27


Firm Order
7.3The first one million and one (1,000,001) Doses of the Priority Order (the “Firm Order”) represents a binding commitment between the Parties for Novavax to supply, and the Authority to purchase subject to Delivery being in accordance with the Delivery Schedule for the Firm Order. Pursuant to the Firm Order Novavax shall Deliver the Doses comprising the Firm Order to the Delivery Site on date(s), to be agreed between the Parties, falling between [***]. If Novavax does not Deliver all Doses included in the Firm Order on or prior to 30 September 2022, then the Authority may, at its option and without cost or liability, (i) terminate this Agreement; or (ii) cancel the Firm Order solely in respect of any of the volume of Doses outstanding at the later of 30 September 2022 or the date of notice from the Authority.
Booster and Adolescent Doses
7.4The remaining fifteen million (15,000,000) Doses of the Priority Order (the “Conditional Doses”) constitute a conditional order that, subject to clauses 7.6 and 7.7, only becomes binding on the Authority and Novavax (in whole, in part or potentially not at all) if and when one or more Triggers occur within a particular date range (the “Conditional Order”).
7.5Triggers.
7.5.1An “Adult Trigger” shall occur on the first date that the following two circumstances first exist together:
(a)the JCVI issues a supportive recommendation for the use of Product for the general adult population as part of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine booster campaign in the UK, excluding where that recommendation relates only to one or more Restrictive Population Groups; and
(b)the Secretary of State for Health approves the JCVI recommendation referred to in clause 7.5.1(a).
7.5.2An “Adolescent Trigger” shall occur on the first date that one or both of the circumstances described in clause 7.5.2(a) and/or 7.5.2(b) first exist together with the circumstance described in clause 7.5.2(c):
(c)the JCVI issues a supportive recommendation for the use of Product for the general adolescent population as part of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine booster campaign in the UK, excluding where that recommendation relates only to one or more Restrictive Population Groups; or
(d)the JCVI issues a supportive recommendation for the use of Product for the general adolescent population as a primary series SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, excluding where that recommendation relates only to one or more Restrictive Population Groups; and
(e)the Secretary of State for Health approves the JCVI recommendation referred to in clause 7.5.2(a) or 7.5.2(b).
7.5.1The Adolescent Trigger and the Adult Trigger are each a “Trigger” and collectively the “Triggers”. For the avoidance of doubt, Authority’s use or deployment of Product purchased under the Firm Order, even if used as a
28


booster dose (whether for the adult or adolescent population, or both), shall not be considered a Trigger or construed to imply that a Trigger has occurred.
7.6If one or both Triggers occur prior to [***], the Authority’s obligation to purchase Conditional Doses pursuant to the Conditional Order shall become binding on both Parties on one, and one only, of the following scenarios (“Scenarios”) and for the following applicable volume of Doses:
7.6.1if (i) the Adult Trigger or (ii) both of the Adult Trigger and Adolescent Trigger, first occur on or prior to [***]:
(f)subject to clause 7.6.1 (e), Authority shall be obliged to purchase the full 15,000,000 Conditional Doses and shall notify Novavax in writing that it wishes to purchase all of the Conditional Doses;
(g)subject to clause 7.6.1(e), Novavax shall Deliver at least seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses of the full volume of Conditional Doses between [***] (the seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses being the “Initial Conditional Doses”);
(h)if Novavax fails to Deliver the Initial Conditional Doses in full by [***], Authority may, at its option and [***], cancel the Conditional Order solely in respect of any of the outstanding volume of Initial Conditional Doses not Delivered to the Authority by [***] or permit the same to carry over for Delivery in accordance with clause 7.6.1(d);
(i)Novavax shall Deliver the remaining volume of Conditional Doses (less any volume cancelled pursuant to clause 7.6.1(c)) in excess of the volume of Initial Conditional Doses Delivered by [***], failing which the Authority may, at its option and [***], cancel the Conditional Order solely in respect of any of the volume of Doses outstanding at that date; and
(j)if the Adolescent Trigger occurs only under clause 7.5.2(b) and 7.5.2(c), then the Authority shall only be obliged to purchase 3,750,000 Doses allocable to such Adolescent Trigger, thereby reducing the number of Conditional Doses that are binding on the Parties to a total of 11,250,000 Conditional Doses, and the Authority’s rights and obligations, including all remedies of this clause 7.6.1, will be adjusted to apply mutatis mutandis to the different volumes;
7.6.2if the Adolescent Trigger occurs on or prior to [***], but the Adult Trigger does not:
(k)subject to clause 7.6.2(c), Authority shall be obliged to purchase 50% of the full volume of Conditional Doses (i.e., seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses) and shall notify Novavax in writing that it wishes to purchase such volume of Doses; and
(l)subject to clause 7.6.2(c), Novavax shall Deliver such volume of Conditional Doses (seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses) in accordance with the timeframes set forth in clause 7.6.1, decreasing the applicable number of Doses by 50% (e.g., the Initial Conditional Doses to be delivered by [***] would be three million seven hundred fifty thousand (3,750,000) and the balancing volume of three million seven hundred fifty
29


thousand (3,750,000) to be delivered by [***]), and the Authority’s rights and obligations, including all remedies under clause 7.6.1, shall be adjusted to apply mutatis mutandis to the different volumes;
(m)if the Adolescent Trigger occurs only under clause 7.5.2(b) and 7.5.2(c), the Authority shall only be obliged to purchase 3,750,000 Doses allocable to such Adolescent Trigger, clause 7.6.2(a) shall not apply, and the volume of Doses referred to in clause 7.6.2(b) shall be reduced by 50%, and the Authority’s associated rights and obligations, including all remedies, will apply mutatis mutandis to such reduced volume; and
(n)if .the Adult Trigger does not occur between [***] then the Conditional Order shall be automatically amended to reduce to (i) seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses where the Adolescent Trigger occurs under clause 7.5.2(a) and 7.5.2(c), or (ii) three million seven hundred fifty thousand (3,750,000) Doses if such Adolescent Trigger was only under clause 7.5.2(b) and 7.5.2(c);
7.6.1if the Adolescent Trigger occurred on or prior to [***], and the Adult Trigger occurred between [***], clause 7.6.2 shall not apply and:
(o)the Conditional Order shall be automatically amended to reduce to (i) eleven million two hundred and fifty thousand (11,250,000) Doses where the Adolescent Trigger occurs under clause 7.5.2(a) and 7.5.2(c), or (ii) seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses if the Adolescent Trigger is only under clause 7.5.2(b) and 7.5.2(c), as applicable; and
(p)the Authority shall be obliged to purchase, and shall notify Novavax in writing that it wishes to purchase:
(iii)seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses to be delivered in accordance with the timelines specified under clause 7.6.2 (i.e. 3,750,000 Doses by [***] and 3,750,000 Doses by [***]), and for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of these Doses, all the provisions and remedies, including cancellation rights, of clause 7.6.2 shall apply); and
(iv)if the Adolescent Trigger occurs under clause 7.5.2(a) and 7.5.2(c), a further three million seven hundred fifty thousand (3,750,000) under this clause 7.6.3 provided that Delivery of all such Conditional Doses is made between [***], failing which the Authority may, at its option and [***], cancel the Conditional Order solely in respect of any of the volume of Doses outstanding on [***];
7.6.3if either the Adult Trigger or the Adolescent Trigger occurs between [***], but the other Trigger does not occur until after such time period (or not at all):
(q)subject to clause 7.6.4(c), the Conditional Order shall be automatically reduced to three million seven hundred fifty thousand (3,750,000);
(r)subject to clause 7.6.4(c), the Authority shall be obliged to purchase, and shall notify Novavax in writing that it wishes to purchase, three million seven hundred fifty thousand (3,750,000) Doses provided that Delivery of
30


all such Conditional Doses is made between [***], failing which the Authority may, at its option and [***], cancel the Conditional Order solely in respect of any of the volume of Doses outstanding on [***]; and
(s)if the Adolescent Trigger is only under clause 7.5.2(b) and 7.5.2(c), then clause 7.6.4(a) shall not apply, the Authority shall only be obliged to purchase one million eight hundred and seventy five thousand (1,875,000) Doses, the volume of Doses referred to in clause 7.6.4(b) shall be reduced by 50%, the Conditional Order shall be reduced to such amount, and the Authority’s associated rights and obligations, including all remedies, will apply mutatis mutandis to such reduced volume;
7.6.2if both Triggers first occur between [***]:
(t)subject to clause 7.6.5(c), the Conditional Order shall be automatically reduced to seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses;
(u)subject to clause 7.6.5(c), the Authority shall be obliged to purchase, and shall notify Novavax in writing that it wishes to purchase, seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses; provided that Delivery of all such Conditional Doses is made between [***], failing which the Authority may, at its option and [***], cancel the Conditional Order solely in respect of any of the volume of Doses outstanding on [***]; and
(v)if the Adolescent Trigger is only under clause 7.5.2(b) and 7.5.2(c), the Authority shall be obliged to purchase 1,875,000 Doses allocable to such Adolescent Trigger thereby reducing the number of Conditional Doses that are binding on the Parties to a total of 5,625,000 Doses, and the Authority’s associated rights and obligations, including all remedies, will apply mutatis mutandis to such reduced volume.
For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum Doses allocable to the Adolescent Trigger under clause 7.6 is seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses, and each of clause 7.5.2(a) and 7.5.2(b) of the Adolescent Trigger may each only be achieved a maximum of once for the purposes of clause 7.6. By way of non-limiting example only, if clause 7.5.2(a) and 7.5.2(c) are met on [***], then the Authority would purchase the full seven and a half million (7,500,000) Doses under clause 7.6.2(a), and any subsequent achievement of clause 7.5.2(b) would not give rise to any additional orders under this clause 7.6. The sub-clauses under clause 7.6 are mutually exclusive such that only one Scenario or no Scenarios under clause 7.6 may apply, it being acknowledged that if clause 7.6.2 first applies, but the Adult Trigger subsequently occurs between [***], then clause 7.6.3 shall apply in substitution of clause 7.6.2. With respect to the dates set forth in clause 7.6, time shall be of the essence.
7.7Following any notification by Authority that a Trigger has occurred prior to [***], the Parties shall, acting reasonably and in good faith taking into account the timing and circumstances of such Trigger, agree a mutually acceptable delivery schedule for the relevant volume of Conditional Doses to be Delivered, broken down on a [***] basis (which for the purposes of this Agreement shall become the Delivery Schedule applicable to those Conditional Doses). Such Delivery Schedule shall require the Delivery of the relevant volume of Conditional Doses to be before the applicable dates set forth above depending on the timing of the Conditional Trigger.
31


7.8Subject to one of the Scenarios under clause 7.6 occurring, Novavax shall, on the Authority’s written request, replace [***] any Conditional Doses Delivered under clause 7.6 that are unused as of their labelled expiration date, up to [***] percent ([***]%) of such Conditional Doses Delivered under clause 7.6 (the “Replacement Offer”). If the Authority elects to enact the Replacement Offer, then the Authority will provide initial notice of the same within [***] of expiry of the applicable Doses, and will within [***] of the date of expiry provide a more detailed and organized accounting of Product for which replacement is requested to Novavax detailing the number of Doses, by lot number, that have expired as of the date of such election. As between the Parties, the Authority will be solely responsible, [***], for its disposal of all expired and undosed Product in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Authority will provide a certified certificate of destruction to Novavax, including the number of Doses by lot that were destroyed, and the date upon which such destruction took place. If the Authority elects to enact the Replacement Offer, then Novavax will provide the Authority with a supply schedule of replacement Product, and Novavax will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Deliver or cause to be Delivered to the Authority the replacement Product no later than [***] after the original Product expiry date consistent with such supply schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, such delivery of replacement Product does not constitute any credit for future Product otherwise due under this Agreement.
7.9If neither Trigger occurs on or before [***] the Conditional Order shall automatically be cancelled without liability or costs to the Authority, and the Authority will not be obliged to purchase any of the Conditional Doses.
Additional Orders
7.10Up until 31 December 2024, the Authority may at its sole election and from time to time place one or more orders for additional volumes of Doses of the Product up to an aggregate maximum of forty four million (44,000,000) Doses (each order an “Additional Order”).
7.11If the Authority places an Additional Order:
7.11.1the Parties shall, acting reasonably and in good faith, agree a mutually acceptable delivery schedule for each Additional Order (which for the purposes of this Agreement shall become the Delivery Schedule applicable to such Additional Order) and in the absence of an agreement the Authority may withdraw and cancel [***] the Additional Order; and
7.11.2Novavax shall accept each Additional Order in writing.
7.12An Additional Order shall be binding upon the Parties in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement. All other terms and conditions (including any terms and conditions which the Authority or Novavax purports to apply under any order, acceptance, specification or other document attached to any order or acceptance form) are hereby excluded.
Substitution of Doses
7.13The Authority may at any time, and from time to time, issue a written notice to Novavax requiring Novavax to substitute any volume of undelivered Doses of Product that are the subject of any Priority Order or Additional Order, for any new monovalent vaccine product that is Developed or being Developed by Novavax or its Affiliates that targets a different variant of SARS-CoV-2 (a “Variant Product”) and that has been granted or is
32


expected to be granted a Marketing Authorisation in or for the Territory (a “Variant Substitution Notice”). For clarity, bivalent and multi-valent variant products shall not be Variant Products.
7.14Upon the Authority serving a Variant Substitution Notice:
7.14.1in respect of the volume of Doses of Product that are the subject of the Variant Substitution Notice, Novavax shall [***] cease and make no further deliveries of any equivalent volume of Doses of Product that are not the Variant Product;
7.14.2references in this Agreement to Product shall be read, with respect to the volume of Doses that are the subject of the Variant Substitution Notice, as references to the Variant Product that is the subject of the Variant Substitution Notice; and
7.14.3the Parties shall promptly discuss any reasonable adjustments to the timing of Deliveries of the volume of Doses of Product that are the subject of the relevant Variant Substitution Notice and Novavax shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to keep the Delivery dates for the applicable Variant Product as close as reasonably possible to the dates in the then current Delivery Schedule for those Doses of Product that have been substituted pursuant to the Variant Substitution Notice.
7.15For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Novavax under this Agreement with respect to Manufacturing, quality requirements, Delivery and shelf life shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to Variant Product that is the subject of a Variant Substitution Notice.
Reduced Volume
7.16Notwithstanding any other right it has under this Agreement, the Authority shall be entitled, on written notice to Novavax, to cancel or reduce (in whole or part) the volume of Doses of the Product that are ordered in [***] or any Additional Order (such reduction being the “Reduced Volume”):
(w)following any actual or reasonably threatened and/or reasonably anticipated material Loss of Supply (which will include for the avoidance of doubt an interruption in production which will reasonably be expected to result in a subsequent interruption in deliveries) which has not been remedied by Novavax within [***], by an amount equal to the amount subject to such Loss of Supply;
(x)as a result of any material adjustment or variation of the Development and Manufacturing Plan, or any adjustment or variation of the Specification or Marketing Authorisation after the Amendment Date; or
(y)in accordance with its rights pursuant to clauses 7.3 and 7.6; and
(z)subject to clause 8.6.2 and 8.6.3, any actual or reasonably threatened and/or anticipated failure to meet the Delivery Schedule for any Additional Order.
Following such adjustment the Parties shall agree in good faith a revised Delivery Schedule for the remaining volumes of Doses of Product to be Delivered, which shall be set as close in time to the original Delivery Schedule as is reasonably possible (and is compliant with principles of Priority Supply) and if agreement cannot be reasonably
33


reached the Authority may further adjust [***] or Additional Order pursuant to this clause.
7.1The effect of the Reduced Volume shall be automatically binding on the Parties such that:
7.17.1Novavax shall, within [***] of the Authority’s written notice under clause 7.16 in respect of the Reduced Volume, refund to the Authority from the Pre-Payment a sum calculated as the Price per Dose (plus VAT if any was payable thereon) in respect of such Doses, multiplied by the number of Reduced Volume Doses (a “Reduced Volume Refund”); and
7.17.2Novavax shall have no further obligation to provide such Reduced Volume of Doses.
7.17Following any change in accordance with the foregoing or pursuant to clauses 8.8 or 12, each of the Orders shall thereafter reflect the new volume of Product adjusted according to this clause.
7.18If the Authority elects to receive a Reduced Volume, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Authority in respect of that Reduced Volume shall take the form of the Reduced Volume Refund provided that this shall not relieve Novavax for any liability in respect of any material breach (if applicable) of this Agreement, including its failure to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts where expressly required under this Agreement.
8.DELIVERY
Delivery Schedule
8.1Subject to the provisions of this clause 8, Novavax shall Deliver Conforming Product to the Authority or its Authorised Agent in the volumes and timelines set out in the applicable Delivery Schedule. For the purposes of the dates and timeframes set out in clauses 7.3, 7.6 and 7.7 [***].
8.2If due to events beyond Novavax’ reasonable control the Product is not going to be Delivered, in any material way, in accordance with the Delivery Schedule, then Novavax shall promptly notify the Oversight Committee and, subject to Authority’s exercise of any specific remedies or cancellation rights arising under this Agreement, and provided Novavax has used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Deliver in accordance with the Delivery Schedule the Oversight Committee, the Oversight Committee shall discuss a reasonable and proportionate amendment to the applicable Delivery Schedule recognising that fast and early delivery of the Product is a fundamental requirement for the Authority. The Delivery Schedule may only be updated and refined during the Term with the written agreement of the Oversight Committee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), subject always to the Delivery Schedule conforming with Novavax’ obligations to supply Product in accordance with Priority Supply. For the avoidance of doubt, if a failure of Novavax not to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement directly resulted in Novavax’ request for such change to the Delivery Schedule, such failure shall entitle the Authority to withhold its consent to any change to the Delivery Schedule. The foregoing shall not restrict or limit the Authority from exercising its rights under clauses 7.3 or 7.6, which rights have precedence over this clause.
34


Authority’s Authorised Agents
8.3Where and insofar as expressly stated in writing by the Authority to Novavax, the Authority may appoint one or more Authorised Agents to act on the Authority’s behalf in relation to part or all of this Agreement, including to receive one or more Deliveries of any Product (or part thereof). Novavax shall work and co-operate reasonably with each Authorised Agent appointed by the Authority upon such notification.
Delivery
8.4Novavax shall:
8.4.1notify the Authority of the exact date of Delivery of specified quantities of Product no less than [***] in advance of such date;
8.4.2deliver the Product DAP (Incoterms 2020) at the Delivery Location (“Delivery”) with Delivery being complete upon the Product being unloaded and delivered into the cold chain storage facilities at the Delivery Location;
8.4.3ensure that the total volume of Doses of the Product set forth in the Orders (as may be amended) shall be Delivered;
8.4.4ensure that Delivery of Product shall not be made earlier than:
(a)subject to clause 8.6.2, the applicable dates set forth in the Delivery Schedule without the agreement of the Authority; or
(b)the date of grant or issuance of a Marketing Authorisation for the Product in the Territory, unless Delivery is requested earlier by the Authority,
and any Delivery (or attempted Delivery) of Product earlier than the applicable date set forth in the Delivery Schedule or before grant/issuance of a Marketing Authorisation (unless requested earlier by Authority) may be accepted or rejected (in whole or part) by Authority at its sole discretion and any rejection shall be at Novavax’ sole risk, cost and liability and Novavax shall remain responsible for effecting the subsequent Delivery of Conforming Product in accordance with the Delivery Schedule and provisions of this clause 8.4.
8.5Notwithstanding Novavax’ obligation to Deliver Product in the quantities and during the periods set forth in the Delivery Schedule, for each instalment set out in the applicable Delivery Schedule, the Oversight Committee may agree to further refine the timing for Delivery of that specific instalment and the quantities.
8.6Without prejudice to any of the Authority’s rights under clause 7 (including the right to cancel or reduce parts of the Priority Order), Novavax shall not be in breach of its obligation to comply with the Delivery Schedule if:
8.6.1there is a delay in Novavax securing the Marketing Authorisation (and, if applicable, any Emergency Use Authorisation) for the Product in the Territory provided that (i) Novavax, its Affiliates and Subcontractors used Commercially Reasonable Efforts in their respective activities to file for and secure the grant or issuance of the same; and (ii) delay was not caused by the breach of this Agreement or the negligence of, Novavax, its Affiliates or Subcontractors;
35


8.6.2there is any minor variance of dates of Delivery compared to the Delivery Schedule of up to [***] due to the unpredictable nature of the Manufacturing of the Products, so long as such variance is agreed with the Authority in writing at least [***] prior to the scheduled Delivery date for such Products as set out in the Delivery Schedule (a “Grace Period”);
8.6.3there is any minor variance in quantity of Doses Delivered compared to the quantities in the Delivery Schedule of up to five per cent. (5%) provided any shortfall is fulfilled in the next Delivery (or if this is not possible, Novavax will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make up the shortfall in the earliest possible subsequent Delivery); or
8.6.4the Parties agree, from time to time and by mutual consent, to vary the Delivery Schedule.
Delays and Loss of Supply
8.7Novavax shall promptly (and [***] from the issue being identified) notify the Authority in writing of any actual or anticipated delay or change to the Delivery Schedule or any actual or anticipated delay in Delivery of Product against the Delivery Schedule.
8.8Without prejudice to clause 7.16, if the Authority’s supply is materially interrupted, delayed or deferred due to (i) any orders or directions pursuant to the US Defense Production Act, or as a consequence of any other government interventions (“Government Interventions”); (ii) demands or obligations from Funding Entities or other Third Parties; or (iii) commitments accepted by Novavax; (collectively a “Loss of Supply”) and such Loss of Supply is not promptly remedied by Novavax within twenty (20) Business Days, then in either case, the Authority shall be entitled:
8.8.1to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause 25.4; and

The non-prevailing Party shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the Independent Expert’s determination, including any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the prevailing Party in connection therewith.

the Rejected Product shall be made available for collection and disposal by Novavax, which Novavax shall collect in accordance with Applicable Law and at Novavax’ sole expense and risk. Without prejudice to clause 12.3, the remedies set forth in this clause 12.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Authority in regard to Rejected Product that has not been distributed, used or administered by the Authority.
Failure to Deliver Conforming Product

38


Period), other than where such failure to Deliver is due to the default of the Authority or its Authorised Agents, then the Authority shall, upon written notice to Novavax:
12.3.1be entitled to refuse or cancel Delivery of any such Products not Delivered in accordance with the Delivery Schedule and/or any future deliveries of Products; and
12.3.2be entitled to a refund, calculated on a pro-rated basis of the Price, for those Products (i) Delivered with a Defect (where the Authority elected to receive a replacement remedy pursuant to clause 12.2.2 but that replacement was not Conforming Product); (ii) not Delivered; or (iii) which have been refused Delivery or had their Delivery cancelled in accordance with clause 12.3.1.
12.3.3If Authority elects to exercise its remedy in this clause 12.3, and subject to clause 12.2.1, it shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Authority in regard to failure to Deliver Conforming Product provided that if Novavax fails to Deliver Conforming Products as a consequence of any unremedied material breach of this Agreement (such as failing to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts) then the foregoing shall be without prejudice to the Authority’s other remedies.

14.INVOICING AND PAYMENT
Pre-Payment
14.1The Parties acknowledge that as at the Amendment Date the Authority has paid the Pre-Payment, which amount Novavax holds on the Authority’s account and which Novavax shall off-set and apply as credit against payments due by the Authority to Novavax in respect of Conforming Product Delivered to the Authority to meet the Priority Order.
14.2In the following circumstances, Novavax shall provide a refund of part or all of the Pre-Payment:
14.2.1if Novavax fails to Deliver in full the Firm Order according to the applicable Delivery Schedule, Novavax shall refund to the Authority pro rata the Pre-Payment (plus any VAT if any was payable thereon) divided by sixteen million and one (16,000,001) Doses and multiplied by the number of Doses of the Firm Order which have not been fulfilled; and
39


14.2.2Where one of the milestone dates referred to under clauses 7.6.1 to 7.6.5 passes without a Trigger event occurring (or where only one occurs) such that the Conditional Order is amended or cancelled, or the Conditional Order will never be for 15,000,000 Doses, or there is a cancellation of the Conditional Order (in whole or part) pursuant to clauses 7.6.1 to 7.6.5, Novavax shall within [***] of such event refund to the Authority pro rata the Pre-Payment (plus any VAT if any was payable thereon) divided by sixteen million and one (16,000,001) Doses and multiplied by the number of Doses of the Firm Order which have been reduced or cancelled (which in the case of clause 7.6.2 shall be an initial reduction of 3,750,000 Doses from [***] and a further reduction of 3,750,000 Doses from [***] if clause 7.6.3 is not triggered). By way of non-exhaustive example, this means:
(a)if on [***], the Adolescent Trigger occurs under both clause 7.5.2(a) and 7.5.2(c), but the Adult Trigger has not, the maximum possible number of Conditional Doses that may be Delivered is 11,250,000 (if clause 7.6.3 applies) or will otherwise be 7,500,000 if no Adult Trigger occurs before [***]. As such, a pro rata refund shall apply (assuming no other cancellations) as at [***] in respect of 3,750,000 Conditional Doses which may no longer be Delivered, and if the Adult Trigger does not apply before [***] a further pro rata refund shall apply (assuming no other cancellations) as at [***] in respect of 3,750,000 Conditional Doses;
(b)If on [***], neither the Adolescent Trigger nor the Adult Trigger has occurred, the maximum possible number of Conditional Doses that may be Delivered thereafter (assuming a Trigger occurs before [***]) is 7,500,000 (pursuant to clause 7.6.4(c)). As such, a pro rata refund shall apply as at [***] and in these circumstances in respect of the 7,500,000 Conditional Doses which may no longer be Delivered;
14.2.3subject to any reductions for cancellation or reductions pursuant to clause 14.2.2, if, pursuant to its rights under clause 7.6, 7.7 or 7.14, the Conditional Order is reduced, Novavax shall refund to the Authority pro rata the Pre-Payment (plus any VAT if any was payable thereon) divided by sixteen million and one (16,000,001) Doses and multiplied by the number of Conditional Doses which have been reduced or cancelled from the Conditional Order;
(each refund pursuant to clause 14.2.1 or 14.2.2 being an “Early Pre-Payment Refund”);
14.2.4on the date that sixteen million and one (16,000,001) Doses have been Delivered, the Cash Flow Advance shall be repaid in full by Novavax to the Authority (the “Cash Flow Advance Refund”); and
14.2.5should the Agreement expire or terminate, any balance of the Pre-Payment that has not been off-set and applied as a credit against the Price due for Conforming Product Delivered pursuant to this Agreement and has not been reimbursed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause (the “Pre-Payment Refund”).
14.3Each Early Pre-Payment Refund and the Pre-Payment Refund shall be made by Novavax to the Authority within [***] of the occurrence of the applicable event triggering such refund, subject to a good faith discussion if the Authority has placed an Additional Order under clause 7.9 whether to apply the potential sum of such refund to an Additional
40


Order. At the same time as Novavax issues such Early Pre-Payment Refund or Pre-Payment Refund, it shall provide the Authority with a written report detailing its calculation of such Early Pre-Payment Refund or Pre-Payment Refund accompanied by appropriate evidence (i.e. invoices, proof of payment of Early Pre-Payment Refunds etc.).
Invoicing
14.4Novavax shall invoice the Authority for all supplies of Conforming Product upon their [***].
Payment Terms
14.5Subject to any off-set and credit to be applied by Novavax in respect of the Pre-Payment, the Authority shall pay each invoice properly submitted in accordance with this Agreement and the invoice schedule within thirty (30) days after the date of the applicable invoice.
14.6All payments due to a Party under this Agreement:
14.6.1are exclusive of any VAT which may be chargeable, which, if properly chargeable, the paying Party shall pay in addition at the rate and in the manner for the time being prescribed by Applicable Law and subject to the other Party providing a valid and accurate VAT invoice;
14.6.2shall be made by transfer to such US or UK bank account as the receiving Party may from time to time notify in writing to the paying Party; and
14.6.3shall be made in full and cleared funds, subject to any deduction or withholding which must be made under Applicable Laws.
Disputes and Late Payments
14.7The Authority shall raise any queries with respect to an invoice within fifteen (15) days of receipt. Where Authority raises a query with respect to an invoice, the Parties shall liaise with each other and agree a resolution to such query within fifteen (15) days of the query being raised. If the Parties are unable to agree a resolution within fifteen (15) days of the query being raised, the dispute shall be referred to dispute resolution in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure prescribed in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority shall not be in breach of any of any of its payment obligations under this Agreement in relation to any queried or disputed invoice sums unless the process referred to in this clause 14.7 has been followed and it has been determined that the queried or disputed invoice amount is properly due to Novavax and the Authority has then failed to pay such sum within fifteen (15) days following such determination.
14.8The Authority shall pay all amounts not in dispute. If the Authority fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement by the due date for payment, then without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that Novavax may have interest shall accrue on that amount in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

34.2.3The rights and remedies of either Party in respect of this Agreement shall not be diminished, waived or extinguished by the granting of any indulgence, forbearance or extension of time by either Party to the other nor by any failure to ascertain or exercise, or any delay in ascertaining or exercising, any such rights or remedies.

34.3.1This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the Parties on separate counterparts, but shall not be effective until each Party has executed at least one (1) counterpart.

34.5Assignment
34.5.1The Authority may assign or transfer, in whole or in part, this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates; provided that if any such Affiliates fails to assume all obligations of Authority so assigned or transferred hereunder, Novavax shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice with immediate effect.
34.5.2Novavax may, but only with the Authority’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign or transfer, in whole or in part, this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates.

34.5.3Novavax may, but only with the Authority’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign or transfer, in whole or in part, this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Third Party, but otherwise may not assign this Agreement, in whole or part, to any Third Party.

60


control of Novavax in favour of the Authority to guarantee and undertake to procure the continued performance by Novavax of this Agreement.

Save as provided in this Agreement, including pursuant to clause 21.4, a person who is not a Party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement.

34.9Costs
Except as set forth herein, each Party will be responsible for all costs incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement.
34.10Entire Agreement
This amended and restated Agreement, and any agreement or document referred to in it, together with the schedules herein, contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to that subject matter including the Heads of Terms between the Parties dated 13 August 2020. Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement and the agreements and documents referred to in it, it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether it was made negligently or innocently) of any person (whether a Party to this Agreement or not) which is not expressly set out in this Agreement or those documents (a “Representation”), and that it shall have no cause of action against the other Party arising out of any Representation except in respect of any fraudulent misrepresentation by the other Party. Each Party agrees that the confidentiality agreement dated 1 June 2020 between the Parties is unaffected by this clause, provided that confidential information disclosed under that agreement may be used and deemed disclosed pursuant to this Agreement.
