Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreements with Graceway
On February 19, 2008, Novavax, Inc. (“Novavax”) entered into and consummated the closing under an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Graceway Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Graceway”), pursuant to which Novavax sold to Graceway Novavax’s assets related to Estrasorb® in the United States, Canada and Mexico (the “Territory”). The assets sold include certain patents related to the micellar nanoparticle technology (the “MNP Technology”), trademarks, know-how, manufacturing equipment, customer and supplier relations, goodwill and other assets related to Estrasorb® in the Territory. Novavax retained the rights to commercialize Estrasorb® outside of the Territory.
In a separate but related transaction, Graceway also purchased from Allergan USA, Inc. (“Allergan”), successor-in-interest to Esprit Pharma, Inc., all of Allergan’s tangible and intangible assets related to Estrasorb®. As described under Item 1.02, simultaneously with the closing of the transaction between Novavax and Graceway, Allergan has terminated all of its previously licensed rights to commercialize Estrasorb®.
Novavax agreed with Graceway that, for a certain period commencing on the closing date (the “Noncompetition Period”), Novavax and is affiliates will not develop, manufacture or sell certain competing products in the Territory. In addition, during the Noncompetition Period, if Novavax licenses, sublicenses or otherwise transfers any rights related to the MNP Technology or Estrasorb® to a person outside of the Territory, Novavax must require such person to agree not to sell or distribute certain competing products using the MNP Technology in the Territory or sell, market or distribute such competing products to a person that intends to sell, market or distribute such competing products in the Territory.
On February 19, 2008, Novavax and Graceway also entered into a supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”), pursuant to which Novavax has agreed to manufacture exclusively for Graceway an agreed upon number of lots of Estrasorb® with final delivery expected by mid 2008. Graceway will pay a preset transfer price per unit of Estrasorb for the supply of this product. Once Novavax has delivered the required quantity of Estrasorb, Novavax must clean the manufacturing equipment and prepare the equipment for transport. Graceway will remove the equipment from the manufacturing facility and Novavax will then exit the facility.
On February 19, 2008, Novavax and Graceway also entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) pursuant to which Graceway granted Novavax an exclusive, non-transferable (except for certain allowed assignments and sublicenses), royalty-free, limited license to the patents and know-how that Novavax sold to Graceway pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The license granted pursuant to the License Agreement allows Novavax to make, use and sell licensed products and services in certain, limited fields.
The foregoing descriptions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Supply Agreement and License Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to Agreement with Catalent
Effective February 19, 2008, Novavax and Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“Catalent”), the successor-in-interest to Packaging Coordinators, Inc., entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”). The Letter Agreement amended the Facility Reservation Agreement, dated February 8, 2002, pursuant to

2


 

which Novavax leases the Estrasorb manufacturing facility from Catalent. The amendment extends the term of the agreement to mid 2008 and provides for a base monthly fee. The Letter Agreement also provides that Catalent will fill and package Estrasorb bulk in sufficient amounts to allow Novavax meet its requirements under the Supply Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02   Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 19, 2008, Novavax and Allergan entered into an agreement to terminate the License Agreement dated as of October 18, 2005, pursuant to which Novavax licensed to Allergan certain North American rights with respect to Estrasorb. All rights and obligations of the parties terminated on February 19, 2008, except for obligations related to confidentiality.

          (c) Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that a breach of any of Seller’s covenants set forth in this Section 6.02 could cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that Buyer’s remedies at law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach a restraining order, preliminary injunction or injunction or all of said remedies may be issued against Seller and its Affiliates, in addition to any other rights and remedies that are available to Buyer. If this Section 6.02 is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction in which a party hereto seeks enforcement hereof, this Section 6.02 shall be limited to the extent required to permit enforcement under such laws. In particular, the parties intend that the covenants contained in this Section 6.02 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each state within the United States and one for each country outside the United States. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants deemed included in this Section 6.02, then such unenforceable covenant shall be deemed reduced in scope or duration, or eliminated from these provisions for the purpose of those proceedings, to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced and this Section 6.02 to be given effect to the maximum extent permissible.
          (d) If all or part of this Section 6.02 is held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any governmental, administrative or judicial authority, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If any part of this Section 6.02 is held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, such part will be construed by limiting and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable Law.
          (e) Notwithstanding any to the contrary herein, if Seller shall consummate a Change of Control transaction with an unrelated third party, then the provisions of this Section 6.02 shall not apply to in any way limit, prohibit or restrict the development, manufacture or sale of a Competing Product (whether as of or following the Change in Control) by or on behalf of such third party. A “Change in Control” shall be defined as any consolidation or merger of Seller with or into any other Person, or any other corporate reorganization (other than any such transaction following which the stockholders of Seller immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, retain, by virtue of their equity interest in Seller at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving corporation immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization) or any transaction or series of related transactions to which Seller is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of Seller’s voting power is transferred; or a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller.

In the event that such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law, each of Buyer and Seller (as applicable) agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “confidential treatment” of this Agreement and the Related Documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or the equivalent treatment by any other Governmental Authority) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to redact such terms of this Agreement and the Related Documents as the other party shall request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties have approved and are issuing on the date hereof the press release attached hereto as Exhibit D.
          (c) Seller shall keep confidential and shall not use, and shall cause its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, advisors, successors, assigns, licensees and sublicensees, and the officers, directors, employees, advisors, successors, assigns, licensees and sublicensees of Seller’s Affiliates, to keep confidential, all information relating to the Business, the Product and the Assets, and all other confidential or proprietary information of Buyer and its Affiliates (collectively, “Buyer Confidential Information”).

          (d) Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that a breach of any of Seller’s covenants set forth in Section 6.03(c) would cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that Buyer’s remedies at law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach a restraining order, preliminary injunction or injunction or all of said remedies may be issued against Seller and its Affiliates, in addition to any other rights and remedies that are available to Buyer.

          (a) The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) must give the other party or parties, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), notice of any such Losses promptly after the Indemnified Party receives notice thereof; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have suffered actual damage by reason of such failure.
          (b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), the defense of such Losses at the Indemnifying Party’s risk and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend against such Losses, and the provisions of Section 9.05(c) shall apply with respect to the defense of such Losses, if Buyer reasonably determines (after consultation with Seller) that the amount of such Losses are reasonably expected to exceed the limitations of liability of the Indemnifying Party set forth in Section 9.04.
          (c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall elect not to undertake such defense, or, within a reasonable time after notice from the Indemnified Party of any such Losses, shall fail to defend, the Indemnified Party (upon further written notice to the Indemnifying Party) shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Losses, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume defense of such Losses at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party)).

respect of such Losses in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes defense of any Losses, the Indemnified Party, by counsel or other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel or other representatives concerning such Losses and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and their respective counsel or other representatives shall cooperate with respect to such Losses, (iii) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes defense of any Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall have an obligation to keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the status of the defense of such Losses and furnish the Indemnified Party with all documents, instruments and information that the Indemnified Party shall reasonably request in connection therewith, and (iv) in the event that both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are parties (directly or through interpleader) to any Losses giving rise to indemnification hereunder and the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that there is a conflict of interest in the representation of both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by one firm of counsel, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the defense, compromise and settlement (subject to clause (i) above) of such Loss with one counsel (in addition to local counsel) reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party.
          (e) In the event that an Indemnified Party has a good faith basis for a claim for indemnification which does not involve a claim against it by a third party (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Direct Claim with reasonable promptness, specifying, to the extent known, the nature, circumstances and amount of such Direct Claim, including with particularity the specific representation and warranty or covenant and agreement alleged to have been breached; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have suffered actual damage by reason of such failure. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it disputes an Indemnified Party’s right of indemnification with respect to a particular Direct Claim, the parties shall use their reasonable efforts to negotiate a resolution of such dispute promptly. Except to the extent of the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Article 9, nothing in this Section 9.05(e) shall be deemed to prevent any Indemnified Party from initiating litigation under this Agreement with respect to any Direct Claim disputed by the Indemnifying Party for the purpose of establishing the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder.
     9.06 Indemnification in the Case of Indemnified Party Negligence.
          THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE 9 WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OF A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF A PARTY SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT LIABILITY IMPOSED VICARIOUSLY ON THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, IS ALLEGED OR PROVEN.

     10.02 Independent Testing.
          If, after Novavax’s inspections of the Product, the Parties disagree as to the Product’s conformance to the Specifications or whether the Product has such a defect, either Party may deliver the Product to an independent third party laboratory, mutually and reasonably acceptable to both Parties, for analytical testing to confirm the Product’s conformance to the Specifications or the presence or absence of defects. The results of the third party laboratory shall be binding on both Parties. All costs associated with such third party testing shall be borne by the non-prevailing Party. No inspection or testing of or payment for the Product by Graceway or any third party agent of Graceway shall constitute acceptance by Graceway thereof (except as described in this Article 10), nor shall any such inspection or testing be in lieu or substitution of any obligation of Novavax for testing, inspection and quality control as provided in the Specifications or under applicable local, state, or federal laws, rules, regulations, standards, codes or statutes.

Such non-performance will be excused for so long as such event shall be continuing; provided, that the non-performing Party gives prompt written notice to the other Party of the Force Majeure Event. Such non-performing Party shall exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate the Force Majeure Event and to resume performance of its affected obligations as soon as practicable.

     13.01 Confidential Information.
          All confidential information of one Party disclosed to the other Party under this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”) shall be maintained strictly confidential and used only for the purposes of this Agreement in accordance with this Article 13. Each Party may also disclose the other’s information to an Affiliate, agent or consultant (and, in the case of Novavax, to Catalent), solely for purposes of complying with the terms of this Agreement and provided that such Person is under a written obligation of confidentiality and non-use at least substantially equivalent to the obligations of this Article 13. 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.

          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.

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.

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

royalty-free, limited license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, and import products and services developed using or incorporating the Licensed Technology solely in the Field and in the Territory.
     2.2. Reservation of Rights.
          Novavax acknowledges and agrees that Graceway owns, reserves and retains all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed IP and the Licensed Technology, except for the limited, express license grant set forth herein.
     2.3. No Access to Information.
          Novavax acknowledges and agrees that Graceway has no obligation to provide Novavax with any information, data, materials or documentation regarding the Licensed Technology or any other assets of Graceway (including the NDA for the Product), nor to provide any other technical assistance.

ARTICLE 4
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
     4.1. Ownership.
          Novavax hereby agrees that the Licensed Technology constitutes commercially valuable, proprietary trade secrets and confidential information of Graceway. Novavax further agrees that except for the limited license grant set forth in Section 2.1 and its rights to the Licensed Technology outside the Territory, Novavax shall not assert any right, title or interest in or to the Licensed IP or the Licensed Technology. Novavax acknowledges that the Licensed Technology (i) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from the disclosure or use and (ii) is the subject of efforts of Graceway that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.
     4.2. Confidential Information.
          (a) In addition to Novavax’s other confidentiality obligations set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, Novavax agrees, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, to (i) maintain the Licensed Technology whether disclosed by Graceway to Novavax in any manner and in any form or format or otherwise retained by Novavax (the “Graceway Confidential Information”), in the strictest confidence, (ii) not disclose the Graceway Confidential Information to any third parties, and (iii) only use such Graceway Confidential Information to practice the license and other rights granted hereunder in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Novavax may disclose Graceway Confidential Information, and authorize the use of such Graceway Confidential Information on the same terms applicable to Novavax under this Agreement, to the following persons and entities: (A) employees or contractors of Novavax who have a need to know such information and (B) sublicensees in connection with the grant of any sublicense of the rights granted hereunder, in each case where such persons or entities have a legal obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information on the same terms applicable to Novavax in this Agreement. In addition, Novavax may disclose Graceway Confidential Information to Governmental Authorities solely for the purposes of, and solely to the extent necessary for, submitting and maintaining applications for the authorization or use of pharmaceutical products in the Field; provided, that Novavax shall request confidential treatment for any submission of such information to any Governmental Authority and, if such information will not receive confidential treatment by such Governmental Authority, then Novavax shall not disclose such information to such Governmental Authority without Graceway’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the foregoing, Novavax shall, consistent with the practices and procedures under which Novavax protects its own most valuable proprietary information and materials, protect the Graceway Confidential Information against any unauthorized or unlawful use, disclosure, dissemination or copying.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED

EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
          (b) Novavax’s obligations under this Section 4.2 shall not apply to information that Novavax can demonstrably prove (i) is, or later becomes, generally available to the public through no fault of Novavax or its Affiliates, or (ii) is obtained from a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality. If required by order of any Government Authority, Novavax may disclose to such authority, data, information, or materials pertaining to or involving the Graceway Confidential Information to the extent required by such order, provided that Novavax shall first have notified Graceway of the required disclosure and provided reasonable cooperation to Graceway’s efforts to obtain a protective order to maintain the confidentiality of such data, information or materials.
          (c) Novavax’s obligations of confidentiality shall remain in full force and effect until the Graceway Confidential Information falls into one of the categories set forth in (b) above.
          (d) Novavax acknowledges that in the event of a breach by Novavax of any provisions of this Article 4, Graceway will not have an adequate remedy in money or damages. Graceway shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive relief against any such breach by Novavax in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of posting bond. Graceway’s rights hereunder shall not in any way be construed to limit or restrict its right to seek or obtain other damages or relief under this Agreement or under applicable law.
     4.3. Maintenance and Enforcement of Licensed IP.
          (a) Graceway agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute and maintain patents and patent applications within the Licensed IP in the Territory. However, Graceway may, in its discretion, elect to abandon any patent applications or issued patent in the Licensed IP in all or any jurisdictions in the Territory. Following any such abandonment in any such jurisdiction, Novavax shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence or continue such prosecution solely in such jurisdiction and to maintain any such patent or patent application solely in such jurisdiction under its own control and at its own expense (and, as between the parties hereto, such abandoned patent applications or issued patent in the Licensed IP solely in such jurisdiction shall, at the election of Novavax, become the sole and exclusive property of Novavax). Prior to any such abandonment, Graceway shall give Novavax at least ninety (90) days notice and a reasonable opportunity to take over prosecution of such patent or patent application.
          (b) Novavax shall, and shall cause its licensees and sublicensees to, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Graceway of any infringement or potential infringement by any Person of the Licensed IP. Upon the reasonable request of Graceway, Novavax will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Graceway in the prosecution and enforcement of Graceway’s rights in the Licensed IP. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate Graceway to enforce or prosecute any of the Licensed IP.

          (c) In the event Novavax notifies Graceway of an infringement in the Field with sufficient supporting documentation or facts to support the good faith filing of an enforcement action, Graceway has the right to determine within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such notification, or twenty (20) days in the event a sufficient presentation is made by Novavax as to the need for preliminary injunctive relief, to elect to bring such action against the potential infringers in the Field. If Graceway determines to bring an action within such applicable time period with respect to any infringement, Novavax agrees to fully cooperate with Graceway, at its cost and expense, in prosecuting any such action. Graceway will promptly provide Novavax with copies of all pleadings and documents filed by any third party or served on it. Graceway will also promptly provide Novavax with copies of all pleadings and documents to be filed by it and will reasonably implement any comments received from Novavax with respect to any such pleadings and documents. In the event Graceway declines to bring an action, if Novavax nevertheless desires to enforce the Licensed IP against potential infringers in the Field, then Novavax shall inform Graceway. Upon the reasonable request of Novavax, Graceway will then use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Novavax in such enforcement, including, if required to bring such action, by either, at Graceway’s option, furnishing a Power of Attorney or joining such action as a necessary party. Novavax will promptly provide Graceway with copies of all pleadings and documents filed by any third party or served on it. Novavax also will promptly provide Graceway with copies of all pleadings and documents to be filed by it and will reasonably implement any comments received from Graceway with respect to any such pleadings and documents. Graceway will have the right to be represented by separate counsel in any such action. Except as otherwise agreed by the parties as a cost sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of any litigation described in this Section 4.3(c) (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) will be first allocated to reimbursement of Graceway’s legal fees and expenses, then toward reimbursement of Novavax’s legal fees and expenses, and then the remainder will be divided [* * *] to Novavax and [* * *] to Graceway.
          (d) Neither party shall have the right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 4.3 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interest of the other party without the express written consent of such other party, such written consent to not be unreasonably withheld.
ARTICLE 5
TERMINATION
     5.1. Termination.
          Novavax may terminate this Agreement for its convenience upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Graceway. Graceway may terminate this Agreement for any material breach by Novavax in the event that Novavax fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of such breach.

     Re: Supply and Lease Terms and Conditions
Dear Renard:
     This letter confirms the agreement between Novavax, Inc. (“Novavax”) and Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“Catalent”) with respect to certain supply and leasing arrangements between the parties. As we have discussed, Novavax is negotiating a potential sale of the Estrasorb™ product (the “Product”) with Graceway Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Graceway”) and this letter agreement will be effective upon consummation of that transaction and written notice to Catalent.
1. Changes to Facility Reservation Agreement. Pursuant to that certain Facility Reservation Agreement, dated February 8, 2002, by and between Novavax and Packaging Coordinators, Inc., Catalent’s predecessor-in-interest, Catalent has leased certain real property to Novavax. As of the date hereof, the formal Term of such agreement has expired and Novavax is holding over on a month-to-month basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in such Facility Reservation Agreement, Novavax and Catalent agree that (i) for the period beginning effective January 1, 2008 and ending not later than July 31, 2008 (the “Interim Term”), the Base Monthly Fee (as defined in such agreement) will be [* * *], and (ii) unless Catalent has entered into an arrangement with Graceway (or its designee) for the continued manufacture of Product in the Area (as defined in the Facility Reservation Agreement) prior to May 2008, Novavax, or Graceway, as its designee, will decommission and remove all of its equipment from the Area and will vacate the Area on or before July 31, 2008, when the lease will expire. All other terms and conditions set forth in the Facility Reservation Agreement not expressly modified herein will continue in full force and effect.
2. Interim Supply. The Term (as defined therein) of the Supply Agreement dated March 22, 2001 between Novavax, Inc. and Packaging Coordinators, Inc., Catalent’s predecessor-in-interest, was for two years and it has been extended month-to-month by agreement of the Parties. During the Interim Term (January 1, 2008 to July 31, 2008), Catalent will supply Novavax with [* * *] lots of (each of approximately [* * *] months of therapy – 56 pouches of 1.74 grams of Estrasorb) finished Product pursuant to the terms of this letter agreement, the Supply Agreement and other terms and conditions to be agreed upon by the parties in individual purchase orders,

which shall be consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to Novavax’s current purchase of Product. Such purchase orders will provide for a flat packaging price of [* * *] per pouch of Product. During the Interim Term, Novavax may submit purchase orders for [* * *] packaged manufacturing lots of Product (see Exhibit A, Supply Schedule). In addition, the terms set forth in the Quality Agreement between Novavax and Cardinal Health PTS, LLC, dated May 28, 2007 (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B), will govern such supply and any related testing, release, and communication procedures for the Product. Due to the terminal nature of this project, any components or raw materials purchased by Catalent consistent with requirements but not utilized in the [* * *] lots, will be for Novavax’ account. If formal agreement is not reached between the Parties regarding an extension of the Supply Agreement beyond the Interim Term, the Supply Agreement shall expire on July 31, 2008. All other terms and conditions set forth in the Supply Reservation Agreement not expressly modified herein will continue in full force and effect.
3. Other Terms. This letter agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This letter agreement and all information disclosed under this agreement will be deemed to be “Confidential Information.” Novavax and Catalent agree to exclude applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware in the United States of America, without respect to the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. This letter agreement may not be modified except in a writing signed by each party. No failure or delay by any party in enforcing this letter agreement shall be construed as a waiver, nor shall any waiver be effective, unless expressly set forth in a writing executed by the parties.
     If the foregoing is acceptable to you, please countersign this letter agreement to indicate your agreement.
             
    Very truly yours,
