CONFIDENTIAL

EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Exclusive License Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of the date of last signature (the “Effective Date”), is made and entered into between the University of Washington, a public institution of higher education and an agency of the state of Washington, (“University”), and Icosavax, Inc., a for profit corporation under the laws of Delaware (“Company”).

BACKGROUND

A.    Certain innovations relating to computationally designed two-component icosahedral protein nanoparticles; two-component tetrahedral protein nanoparticles; and methods of multivalent antigen presentation on designed protein nanomaterials were made in the University laboratory of Dr. David Baker, a faculty member in the Department of Biochemistry and an employee of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (“HHMI”), and in the University laboratory of Dr. Neil King (“Principal Investigator”), who was a research associate in the Baker laboratory and now is a faculty member in the Department of Biochemistry. In addition, other inventions relating to nanoparticle vaccine candidates for respiratory syncytial virus were made via a collaboration by Drs. Baker and King working at University and the laboratory of Dr. Antonio Lanzavecchia at the Institute for Research In Biomedicine (“IRB”), located in Switzerland.

B.    HHMI assigned its rights in such innovations to University, subject to the HHMI License (as defined herein). University now solely owns certain intellectual property rights in such innovations, and co-owns certain intellectual property rights in such innovations with IRB, as listed in Exhibit A “Start-Up License Schedule” to this Agreement. University and IRB have executed an interinstitutional agreement, dated September 19, 2017, that authorizes University to assume sole responsibility for both the patent prosecution and licensing of co-owned patent applications 47969.01US1 /USSN 62/481,331. Thus, University has the right to license to others certain rights to use and practice such intellectual property. University is willing to grant those rights so that such innovations may be developed for use in the public interest.

C.    Company desires that University grant it an exclusive license under such intellectual property rights, and University is willing to grant such a license, on the terms set forth in this Agreement. University desires Company to commercialize the intellectual property subject to this Agreement for commercial indications through Company and the exclusive license granted hereunder.

D.    The innovations licensed under this Agreement were funded in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (“BMGF”) pursuant to those certain grant agreements between BMGF and University of Washington Foundation dated [***] entitled [***] and [***] entitled [***] (“BMGF Agreements”) and pursuant to which University made certain global access commitments to BMGF.

E.    Company intends to enter into one or more mutually agreeable sponsored research agreement(s) negotiated with University after the Effective Date for work on Indication Category(ies) to be done in the laboratory of Principal Investigator. Under such sponsored research agreement(s) Company shall have an option to negotiate to include inventions and/or know-how arising from such University activities under the sponsored research agreement where the inventors are not HHMI employees under the applicable

CONFIDENTIAL

patent law as Licensed Patents and/or Licensed Know-How under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, inclusion of such shall require payment of additional license fees if not an Improvement (as defined below).

AGREEMENT

The Parties agree as follows:

1.    DEFINITIONS

“Acquisition” means (a) the sale by Company of all, or substantially all of, its assets in transaction to a Third Party at arm’s length, (b) the sale, transfer, or exchange by the shareholders, partners, or equity owners of Company of a majority interest in Company’s outstanding stock in an arm’s length transaction to a Third Party, or (c) the merger of Company with a Third Party at arm’s length; provided, however, that in no event will (y) any bona fide equity financing for the primary purpose of raising capital for corporate purposes, or (z) any license, or any option to obtain a license, relating to all or substantially all of Company’s rights (whether such rights pertain to this Agreement or to Company’s rights more generally) that is granted to a Third Party (whether or not collaborative or partnership activities also will be conducted), be considered an Acquisition under this Agreement.

“Net Sales” means the gross amount received by a Licensed Party from Distributors, customers, end users and other Third Parties for sales, leases, and other dispositions of Licensed Products, less [***]. On sales of Licensed Products by made in other than an arm’s length transaction, the value of the Net Sales attributed to such transaction will be equal to the Net Sales that would have been received in an arm’s length transaction, based on sales of like quantity and quality of Licensed Products sold on or about the time of the transaction. Net Sales does not include sale, lease, disposition or other transfer of Licensed Products among or between Company, Subsidiaries and Sublicensees for the purpose of subsequent resale to a Third Party, but does include subsequent resale to such Third Party. For avoidance of doubt Net Sales are calculated on sales by a Licensed Party to Distributor, and not on the subsequent sale by Distributor.

Net Sales of Combination Products will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Products by the fraction A/(A+B), where “A” is the Net Sales price of the Licensed Product if sold or performed separately, and “B” is the Net Sales price of the other product, component or ingredient in the Combination Product if sold separately. If, on a country-by-country basis, the other product, component or ingredient in the Combination Product is not sold separately in said country, Net Sales for the purpose of determining running royalties of the Combination Product shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/C where “A” is the Net Sales price of the Licensed Product, if sold separately, and “C” is the Net Sales price of the Combination Product. If, on a country-by-country basis, neither the Licensed Product, nor the other product, component or ingredient in the Combination Product, is sold separately in said country, Net Sales for the purpose of determining running royalties of the Combination Product shall be determined in good faith by the Parties. A Combination Product may include a Licensed Product and any separate product, component or ingredient or service developed by or in-licensed by a Licensed Party from a Third Party provided it is a Combination Product as defined in this Agreement.

“Sublicense” means the grant by a Licensed Party to a Third Party of any license, option, first right to negotiate, or other right granted under the Licensed Rights, in whole or in part. The grant of the right to resell to a Distributor and the grant of a license or other right to use a Licensed Product to an end-user, where the end user has no other rights with respect to the Licensed Rights other than to be an end user of the Licensed Product, will not be a Sublicense and will be treated solely under Net Sales.

“Sublicensee” means a Third Party holding a Sublicense under the Licensed Rights.

“Sublicense Consideration” means all consideration, including but not limited to [***]; but excluding [***] For avoidance of doubt, consideration paid to Company by Sublicensees for the following shall not be deemed Sublicense Consideration: [***]. For clarity, University acknowledges and agrees that, if Company should enter into an agreement with a Third Party that includes a Sublicense as part, but not all, of the subject matter of such agreement, then the total non-royalty consideration paid to Company under such Third Party agreement will not be deemed Sublicense Consideration merely because a Sublicense is granted (since only a portion of the consideration received is for the grant of the Sublicense).

Furthermore, to the extent that: (1) this Agreement has not been assigned by Company prior to the date Sublicense Consideration is received by Company; and (2) Company has not raised more than [***] in equity financing prior to the date Sublicense Consideration is received by Company, amounts received by Company from a Third Party for [***], shall be excluded from Sublicense Consideration, as stipulated in the paragraph above in (a)(ii).

This license is explicitly made subject to the HHMI License.

3.    RIGHTS OF UNIVERSITY; LIMITATIONS

3.1    University’s Rights. University reserves all rights not expressly granted to Company under this Agreement. University retains for itself, IRB, and other not-for-profit research institutions, an irrevocable, nonexclusive right to practice Licensed Rights for research, instructional or educational purposes. Expressly included, without limitation, within this University reservation of rights is the right to do the following in connection with such research, instructional or educational purposes: (a) to use the Licensed Rights in sponsored research or collaborative research with any Third Party, but not for any commercial purpose, and only to the extent that no such Third Party is granted any commercialization rights of any kind under the Licensed Rights or to commercialize Licensed Products, (b) to grant material transfer agreements that restrict the use of such materials to research, teaching or other scholarly activities, and that the transferree has no rights greater than University or IRB, and has no further right to transfer such materials to any Third Party, and (c) to publish any information included in the Licensed Rights or any other information that may result from University’s or IRB’s research.

3.2    Sublicensing Opportunities. If a Third Party notifies University that it wishes to license any of the exclusively licensed Licensed Rights in any field or territory in which Company is unable or unwilling to develop and market a Licensed Product or for any field within the Field of Use that University reasonably

CONFIDENTIAL

believes Company is not diligently pursuing, University will notify Company in writing of such Third Party’s wish to obtain such license, and Company will have good faith discussions with such Third Party regarding the terms and conditions under which such Sublicense could be obtained. Company will not be obligated to provide such sublicense where it interferes with Company’s business strategy; however, Company will not unreasonably withhold such Sublicense.

3.3    Reservation of Rights for Humanitarian Purposes. Consistent with 35 U.S.C. §200 et seq., University retains the right to require Company to grant Sublicenses to responsible applicants in the Field of Use under the Licensed Patents on terms that are reasonable under the circumstances; or, if Company fails to grant a license, to grant the license itself. The exercise of these rights by University will only be in exceptional circumstances and only if University determines (a) the action is necessary to meet health or safety needs that are not reasonably satisfied by Company; or (b) the action is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by federal regulations, and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by Company. In addition, University retains the right to require Company to grant Sublicenses in the Field of Use under the Licensed Patents on terms that are reasonable under the circumstances solely to allow the Licensed Products to be available and accessible at an affordable price in Developing Countries, or, if Company fails to offer to grant a license on reasonable terms, to grant the license itself to meet global access obligations agreed to by University under the BMGF Agreements in connection with funding of research that led to the Licensed Patents and such obligations are not reasonably satisfied by Company. University will not require the granting of a sublicense, and will not grant the license itself, unless the responsible applicant has first negotiated in good faith with Company. Company shall be entitled to use the dispute resolution mechanisms of Section 13.4 “Escalation; Dispute Resolution”, including seeking an injunction from the court if mediation is unsuccessful, if Company wishes to dispute that University should be entitled to exercise its rights under this Section 3.3.

4.     APPLICATIONS AND PATENTS

4.1    Pre-Agreement Patent Filings. Company has reviewed the Licensed Patents and as of the Effective Date is not aware of any basis to challenge or dispute the inventorship, validity, or enforceability of any of the claims made in the Licensed Patents.

4.2    Patent Prosecution Decisions. University and Company will consult on the preparation, filing and prosecution of the Licensed Patents (including, without limitation, on the selection of patent counsel). Patent counsel will be directed to deliver to Company all written and electronic communications to and from all patent offices and foreign counsel, and provide summaries of oral communications with patent offices. Provided Company is in compliance with Section A3.8 “Patent Expense Payment” of Exhibit A “Start-Up License Schedule”, Company’s directions regarding patent preparation, filing and prosecution will be followed unless detrimental to University’s intellectual property rights. University and Company will consult prior to deciding in which countries to pursue patent protection and provided Company is in compliance with Section A3.8 “Patent Expense Payment”, patents will be filed in all countries Company designates. University acknowledges the key role and value of the Licensed Patent portfolio to Company and the need for timely review and exchange of information between University and Company prior to Licensed Patent portfolio decisions. University will remain the client of record, and may at its own expense instruct patent counsel to take actions necessary to protect University’s intellectual property rights, if in University’s reasonable opinion, Company actions will result in a loss of rights; provided that for any such actions, if Company declines to reimburse University pursuant to Section A3.8 “Patent Expense Payment”

CONFIDENTIAL

of Exhibit A “Start-Up License Schedule”, those applications and resultant patents will not be subject to this Agreement. In no event will Company file a patent application where all of the inventors are under University policy obligated to assign their rights in such patent application to University.

4.3    Assumption of Patent Prosecution and Maintenance. Provided Company is in compliance with Section A3.8 “Patent Expense Payment” of Exhibit A “Start-Up License Schedule”, University will take all commercially reasonable steps to cause patents and patent applications within the Licensed Patents to be diligently prosecuted and maintained. If Company is in compliance, and University, against Company’s instructions, decides to abandon or allow to lapse any patent application or any claim of any patent included in the Licensed Patents or not pursue patent protection for any foreign patent mutually agreed upon by the Parties under Section 4.2 “Patent Prosecution Decisions”, University will notify Company at least sixty (60) days before such decision would be effective, and Company will have the right to file, prosecute, and maintain, as applicable, such patent or patent application at Company’s expense provided Company shall keep University informed of such activity. Company may thereafter abandon or allow to lapse any or all patents or patent applications for which it is responsible. Company will notify University of any abandoned or lapsed patents within thirty (30) days of such abandonment or lapse.

5.    COMMERCIALIZATION

5.1    Performance Milestones. Company will, directly or through its Subsidiaries or Sublicensees, use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with sound and reasonable business practices and judgment, to commercialize the Licensed Rights and to make and sell Licensed Products as soon as practicable and to maximize sales thereof. Unless an extension is provided due to an Event of Force Majeure during the term of this Agreement, Company shall perform, or shall cause to happen or be performed, the Performance Milestones in accordance with the Performance Milestone Dates. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Force Majeure, the Performance Milestones and Performance Milestone Dates shall be equitably adjusted to accommodate the Event of Force Majeure.

5.2    Renegotiation of Performance Milestones. If Company determines that it will be unable to achieve a Performance Milestone for a given Indication Category by the applicable Performance Milestone Date, Company will so notify University in advance of the Performance Milestone Date, and, provided Company demonstrates it is diligently pursuing commercialization of at least one Licensed Product for such Indication Category, Company shall have the option of either (1) negotiating in good faith an appropriate new Performance Milestone and/or related Performance Milestone Date to accommodate for the reasonable length of the delay or (2) paying a fee to the University equal to [***] of the next due Financial Milestone payment for a one year of extension to all Performance Milestone Dates (not yet met) for such Indication Category. A subsequent payment of another [***] of the next due Financial Milestone payment to add another one year extension to all Performance Milestones Dates (not yet met) for such Indication Category will be granted by University but no further extensions shall be (automatically) granted under this payment mechanism. If in the case of (1) above, the Parties are unable to agree on a renegotiated Performance Milestone [***], then University may proceed with its termination rights under Section 9.2 “Termination by University”, subject to both Company and University having the right to seek mediation under Section 13.4 “Escalation; Dispute Resolution”. For the avoidance of doubt, University’s termination rights shall be on an Indication Category by Indication Category basis (e.g., any failure to achieve a Performance Milestone by the applicable Performance Milestone Date for one Indication

CONFIDENTIAL

Category shall not result in termination of another Indication Category that is in compliance with its Performance Milestones).

5.3    Commercialization Reports. Throughout the term of this Agreement and during the Sell-Off Period, and within thirty (30) days of December 31^st of each year, Company will deliver to University written reports of Company’s and Sublicensees’ efforts and plans to develop and commercialize the innovations covered by the Licensed Rights and to make and sell Licensed Products. Company will have no obligation to prepare commercialization reports in years where (a) Company delivers to University a written Sales Report with active sales, and (b) Company has fulfilled all Performance Milestones. In relation to each of the Performance Milestones each commercialization report will include sufficient information to demonstrate achievement of those Performance Milestones and will set out timeframes and plans for achieving those Performance Milestones which have not yet been met.

5.4    Company Information. Once per year, until University no longer has Shares in Company, Company shall provide a current capitalization chart to indicate the number of Shares University owns in Company, and total number of Shares and Fully Diluted Shares. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Company shall provide the names of, and sufficient contact information to identify, any Permitted Sublicensees within thirty (30) days of University’s written request. Upon University’s inquiry, Company will provide information on funding rounds to date (type, date, and amount) and number of employees.

6.    PAYMENTS, REIMBURSEMENTS, REPORTS, AND RECORDS

6.1    Payments. Company will deliver to University the payments specified in Section A3 “Payments” of attached Exhibit A “Start-Up License Schedule”. Company will make such payments by check, wire transfer, or any other mutually agreed-upon and generally accepted method of payment. All checks to University will be made payable to “University of Washington” and will be mailed to the address specified in Section 13.10 “Notices” and will reference the University agreement number [***].

Any payment by an alleged infringer that, under the terms of the applicable settlement agreement or judgment, (a) constitutes consideration for Net Sales of infringing product (or an equivalent characterization in the nature of a product royalty) will be handled according to the payment provisions in Section A3.2 “Running Royalty Payments”, and (b) constitutes consideration for the grant of a Sublicense (or an equivalent characterization) will be handled according to Section A3.6 “Sublicense Consideration”.

Company will not settle any suits or actions in any manner relating to the Licensed Rights without obtaining the prior written consent of University, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Parties agree that loss of University’s intellectual property rights is a reasonable reason to withhold consent. Further, if Company is not diligently protecting University’s intellectual property rights, or if Company does not elect to assume and control the sole defense of the Third Party legal action within [***] after becoming aware of challenge, University will have the right to assume the defense of the action at its own expense.

Notwithstanding any such termination of this Agreement, subject to being in compliance with Article 6 of this Agreement at the time of termination, and subject to ongoing compliance with obligations under Article 6 and Article 10 “Release, Indemnification, and Insurance”, Company and any Sublicensees and Distributors may sell or otherwise dispose of existing inventory of Licensed Products for a period of [***] days after the effective date of termination of this Agreement (“Sell-Off Period”), provided, however, that the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the Sell-Off Period as if this Agreement had not terminated. Company will provide notification if Company, or any Sublicensees or Distributors, will be exercising their rights to continue selling inventory pursuant to the Sell-Off Period.

9.7    Final Report to University. Within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar quarter following either the expiration or termination of either this Agreement or the Sell-Off Period, whichever is later, Company will submit a final Sales Report to University. Any payment obligations accrued prior to such

CONFIDENTIAL

termination or expiration, including those incurred but not yet paid, will become due and payable at the same time as this final Sales Report is due to University.

9.8    Sublicenses After Termination. At any time within [***] following termination of this Agreement, Sublicensee may notify University pursuant to Section 13.10 “Notices” that it wishes to enter into a direct license with University in order to retain its rights to the Licensed Rights granted to it under its Sublicense (such [***] period following receipt of notice of termination, the “Initial Notice Period”). Following University’s receipt of Sublicensee’s notice, University shall offer Sublicensee a license agreement the terms of which will be substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the offered scope of the direct license, licensed territory, and duration of the license grant will be the same as (not merely substantially similar to) the scope of the license, licensed territory and duration of the license granted under this Agreement (unless the rights granted by Company to Sublicensee were a subset of rights under this Agreement, in which case the scope of the direct license, licensed territory and duration of the license will be the same as the corresponding terms granted by Company to such Sublicensee). For the sake of clarity, the financial terms, including without limitation, the running royalty rate and milestone payments, will be identical to the corresponding financial terms set forth in this Agreement, provided University shall consider in good faith reducing the non-running royalty financial payments where there are multiple direct licensees or such direct licensee has a reduced scope compared with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Sublicensee’s right to enter into such direct license will be conditioned upon:

9.8.1    Written Notification to University. Such Sublicensee informing University in writing, pursuant to Section 13.10 “Notices”, that it wishes to enter into such direct license with University, within the Initial Notice Period;

9.8.2    Sublicensee in Good Standing. Such Sublicensee being in good standing with Company under its Sublicense such that Sublicensee is not in material breach of the Sublicense;

9.8.3    Valid Sublicense. Such Sublicense having been validly entered into by Company and Sublicensee pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3 “Sublicense Rights”;

9.8.4    Sublicensee Certification that Conditions are Satisfied. Such Sublicensee using reasonable efforts to certify or otherwise demonstrate that the conditions set forth in Subsections 9.8.1 “Written Notification to University”, 9.8.2 “Sublicensee In Good Standing”, and 9.8.3 “Valid Sublicense” have been met within [***] of expiration of the Initial Notice Period (or within such longer period of time as University agrees is reasonable under the circumstances, based on the nature and extent of any documentation reasonably requested by University); and

9.8.5    Time Limitations. Unless mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, execution of a direct license with Sublicensee will be completed not later than [***] from the end of the Initial Notice Period.

Except as set forth in Subsection 9.8.5 “Time Limitations”, University may, at its sole discretion, waive any of the requirements in Subsections 9.8.1 through 9.8.4. If all of the conditions set forth in this Section 9.8 “Sublicenses After Termination” are met, then Sublicensee will be granted such direct license by University. If any condition set forth in this Section 9.8 “Sublicenses After Termination” is not met, then

CONFIDENTIAL

after expiration of any time period granted to Sublicensee with respect to meeting such condition (for example and to the extent applicable, the Initial Notice Period and/or the periods described in Subsections 9.8.4 “Sublicensee Certification that Conditions are Satisfied” and 9.8.5 “Time Limitations”), Sublicensee will not practice Licensed Rights except as provided for in Section 9.6 “Effect of Termination” and University will be free to license or not license Licensed Rights to such Sublicensee according to University’s sole discretion.

The previous sentence will not apply to any HHMI Claim that is determined with finality by a court of competent jurisdiction to result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an HHMI Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Company’s obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the HHMI Indemnitees under this paragraph will not be subject to any limitation or exclusion of liability or damages or otherwise limited in any way.

In the case of (i) and (ii) above such Dispute Notice must be received by University prior to expiration of the 60-day cure period referenced in Section 9.2 “Termination by University”, stating the basis of Company’s disagreement with respect to such default or cure. In the case of (iii) above such Dispute Notice must be received by University within thirty (30) days of being charged a late fee for such disputed amount.

Upon receipt of a Dispute Notice, University’s right to terminate this Agreement or demand payment of late fees will be suspended and all rights under this Agreement will continue unaffected provided the dispute resolution process in this Section 13.4 “Escalation; Dispute Resolution” is being exercised. Any dispute will first be escalated to Company’s Chief Executive Officer or to a representative from Company’s Board of Directors, and to University’s Vice President for Innovation Strategy, representatives of which will be instructed to work in good faith to attempt to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute that would avoid termination of this Agreement. If the representatives are unable to reach such resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Dispute Notice, an independent, neutral mediator acceptable to both Parties (acting reasonably) will be appointed. The Parties will submit their dispute to mediation according to such parameters as they may mutually agree in writing. The Parties agree to discuss their differences in good faith and to attempt in good faith, with facilitation by the mediator, to reach an amicable resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) days after the mediator’s appointment. If the Parties are not able to agree on resolution of the dispute within such period, or within ninety (90) days of the Dispute Notice, whichever is earlier, including agreeing on a new Performance Milestone pursuant to Section 5.2 “Renegotiation of Performance Milestones” if that is the subject of the dispute, then the dispute resolution process of this Section 13.4 “Escalation; Dispute Resolution” will be complete and either Party may pursue any other action that is legally available to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dispute affecting the rights or property of HHMI shall be subject to the dispute resolutions provisions set forth above.

13.5    Consent and Approvals. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all consents or approvals required under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

No provision of this Agreement grants Company or Sublicensee any right or license to use the name or trademarks of University or IRB or the names or identities of any member of the faculty, staff, or student body of University or IRB. Except as provided herein, Company will not use, and will not permit a Sublicensee to use, any such trademarks, names, or identities without University’s, IRB’s and, as the case may be, such member’s prior written approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company, University, and IRB may provide factual information regarding the existence of this Agreement. Company acknowledges that under HHMI policy, Company may not use the name of HHMI or of any HHMI employee (including Dr. Baker) in a manner that reasonably could constitute an endorsement of a commercial product or service; but that use for other purposes, even if commercially motivated, is permitted provided that (1) the use is limited to accurately reporting factual events or occurrences, and (2) any reference to the name of HHMI or any HHMI employees in press releases or similar materials intended for public release is approved by HHMI in advance.

13.15    Relationship with Principal Investigator(s). Company acknowledges that Principal Investigator is employed by University and has certain pre-existing obligations to University, including obligations with respect to disclosure and ownership of intellectual property and obligations arising from sponsored research agreements between University and Third Parties. Accordingly, Company agrees that to the extent that any consulting agreement between Company and Principal Investigator is inconsistent with any of Principal Investigator’s obligations to University, including the reporting of all inventions developed while employed by University (regardless of where arising) and including contractual obligations arising under any sponsored research agreements between University and Third Parties, then Principal Investigator’s obligations to University will prevail and to such extent any inconsistent provisions of such consulting agreement will be deemed inapplicable and unenforceable.

13.21    Entire Agreement. Company and University executed an exclusive option agreement (“Option”) for certain Licensed Patents, with University reference [***], dated [***]. This Agreement (including all attachments, exhibits, and amendments) is the final and complete understanding between the Parties concerning licensing of the Licensed Rights.

13.22.1    HHMI is not a party to this Agreement and has no liability to any licensee, sublicensee, or user of anything covered by this Agreement, but HHMI is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and certain of its provisions are for the benefit of HHMI and are enforceable by HHMI in its own name.

CONFIDENTIAL

13.22.2    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Sublicensee is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement, but solely for purposes of enforcing Section 9.8 “Sublicenses After Termination” in its own name.

A3.2.1    Stacking or Third Party Royalty. If a Licensed Party is required to pay royalties to a Third Party based on such Licensed Party’s manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or import of Licensed Product, subject to one or more patents of such Third Party, then the royalty Company pays to University may be reduced [***] of the royalty actually paid to the Third Party ; provided that [***] of Licensed Product, and provided that the royalty amount paid to the University shall not fall below [***] of Net Sales.

A3.3    Minimum Annual Royalties.

A3.3.1    If this Agreement is terminated prior to the payment of a minimum annual royalty in any given year the amount due for that minimum annual royalty payment will be prorated on the basis of the number of full quarters that have elapsed prior to termination since the last payment of a minimum annual royalty.

A3.4    Financial Milestone Payments. Company will pay to University the following non-cumulative, non-creditable, and non-refundable, one-time Performance Milestone achievement payments for each of First Indication Category, Second Indication Category, Third Indication Category, Fourth Indication Category, and Fifth Indication Category within thirty (30) days of achieving the corresponding Performance Milestone, whether achieved by Company or a Sublicensee:

A3.5    Equity.

In addition, Company agrees to issue additional Shares to University sufficient to cause the University to own in aggregate [***] of Company’s Fully-Diluted Shares through such time as the Company has raised Qualified Financing; provided, however, that if Company closes an equity financing that would result in its cumulative equity capital raised being in excess of the Qualified Offering Proceeds, any such excess capital (and resulting dilution) will be ignored and the number of additional Shares to be issued to University will be calculated assuming Company had raised only such amount of equity capital as would result in its cumulative equity capital raised since incorporation being equal to the Qualified Offering Proceeds. Any such additional Shares will be issued as of or immediately after such closing:

A3.5.1    Participation Rights. If at any time after the execution and delivery of the Agreement, Company proposes to sell any equity securities or securities that are convertible into equity securities of the Company (“Future Equity Financings”), then the University and/or its Assignee (as defined below) will have the right [***].

Determination of the relevant Performance Milestone having been achieved for the purposes of determining the Sublicense Consideration percentage shall be based on the most advanced Licensed Product candidate then in development in the applicable Indication Category for which Sublicense Consideration was received. A further reduction of the percentage of Sublicense Consideration payable to University under this Agreement will be negotiated in good faith between the Parties where, in addition to the Sublicense of any

CONFIDENTIAL

rights granted to Company hereunder, Company or its Sublicensee also grants a Sublicensee a license or sublicense under a Third Party’s intellectual property rights that are or would be infringed by Licensed Product(s) (treating pending patent applications as if they were issued patents), but only to the extent that the total aggregate consideration for such combined license is treated as Sublicense Consideration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, achievement of Performance Milestones 1, 2 and 3 by the Company or its Sublicensee for the First Indication Category shall reduce the initial Sublicense Consideration percentage to [***] for all subsequent Indication Categories, with further subsequent reductions for such applicable Indication Category occurring upon achievement of Performance Milestones 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 based on the schedule above.

The Acquisition Fee otherwise due under this Section A3.7 will be reduced and offset by the amount of consideration attributable to University’s Shares under Section A3.5 “Equity” above. For this purpose, the consideration attributable to the Shares will be deemed to include all amounts paid at closing, placed in escrow, subject to earnout payments, or otherwise contemplated by the agreement relating to such Acquisition, to the extent such amounts are actually received by University. The Company will act in good faith and will not intentionally seek to avoid payment of or reduce the Acquisition Fee by raising capital or achieving other Performance Milestones specifically for that purpose.

CONFIDENTIAL

A3.8    Patent Expense Payment. Company will pay, or reimburse University for paying, all Patent Expenses incurred on or after the Effective Date within thirty (30) days of its receipt of University’s invoice for such Patent Expenses. University reserves the right to request advance payments for certain Patent Expenses, at University’s discretion. Company will, within 30 days from raising Qualified Financing or one year from the Effective Date, whichever comes first (the “Patent Reimbursement Date”), to the extent not previously reimbursed to University by Company or a Third Party, reimburse University for all Patent Expenses incurred prior to the Effective Date. Such reimbursement by Company will be allocated into two (2) equal installments – one (1) installment of half the amount due will be paid within thirty (30) days from the later of the Effective Date or Patent Reimbursement Date, and a second installment covering the remainder of such past Patent Expenses will be paid on the one (1) year anniversary of the later of the Effective Date or Patent Reimbursement Date.

A3.8.1    Notwithstanding Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of this Agreement, if at any time Company is not fully reimbursing University for Patent Expenses, or fails to provide advance payment when requested, University shall make patent filing, prosecution, and maintenance decisions, including choosing in which countries to prosecute patents, in its sole discretion and Company shall have no rights to provide instruction or to take over patent prosecution. University shall reasonably consider input provided by Company, but have no obligation to act on such input.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, the University granted to the Company an exclusive license under the Licensed Patents and a non-exclusive license under the Licensed Know to make, have made on Company’s behalf, use, offer to sell, sell, offer to lease or lease, import, or otherwise offer to dispose of Licensed Products in the Territory in certain Indication Categories (as such terms are defined in the Agreement);

WHEREAS, some of the innovations licensed under the Agreement were funded in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (“BMGF”) pursuant to those certain grant agreements between BMGF and University of Washington Foundation dated [***] entitled “[***]” and [***] entitled “[***]” (“BMGF Agreements”) and pursuant to which University made certain global access commitments to BMGF, and accordingly the University retains the right to require Company to grant Sublicenses in the Field of Use under the Licensed Patents on terms that are reasonable under the circumstances solely to allow the Licensed Products to be available and accessible at an affordable price in Developing Countries (as such terms are defined in the BMGF Agreements), or, if Company fails to offer to grant a license on reasonable terms, to grant the license itself to meet global access obligations agreed to by University under the BMGF Agreements in connection with funding of research that led to the Licensed Patents and such obligations are not reasonably satisfied by Company (the “BMGF Reservation of Rights”);

WHEREAS, after the Effective Date, the University amended the BMGF Agreements (“Additional BMGF Agreements”), pursuant to which amendments, among other things BMGF provided funding for Supplemental Projects (as such term is defined in the Additional BMGF Agreements), and, subject to certain limitations, the University agreed to grant to BMGF a non-exclusive license with respect to developments funded by the Supplemental Projects to enable BMGF to achieve its global access goals (the “BMGF Humanitarian License”);

WHEREAS, in the Additional BMGF Agreements, BMGF and the University agreed that the Indication Categories listed prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in the definition of the Field of Use in the Agreement are not subject to the Humanitarian License;

1

exclusively licensed to a Third Party) of the replacement virus, bacteria and/or pathogen (as applicable) and University’s willingness to license such rights;

WHEREAS, the Parties now wish to amend the Agreement, effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, to update Indication Categories and add an additional Indication Category in the Field of Use, and to amend the Performance Milestones and Performance Milestone Dates, update Financial Milestone payments, update table of percentages on Sublicense Consideration, and to add additional Licensed Patents;

WHEREAS, the Parties intend that the Indication Categories listed in the definition of the Field of Use prior to this Amendment No. 1 will continue to be subject to the BMGF Reservation of Rights to the extent applicable, and the Indication Categories that are added to the definition of the Field of Use pursuant to this Amendment No. 1 may be subject to the Humanitarian License, provided that the applicable conditions set forth in the Additional BMGF Agreements apply, including without limitation that University utilizes the Supplemental Projects funding to any such new Indication Categories; and

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, University has not, to the best of UW CoMotion’s knowledge, utilized funding from BMGF, including without limitation Supplemental Projects funding, for research and/or development of vaccines for [***].

These viruses, bacteria and pathogens listed within each Indication Category represent a preliminary indication of Company’s priorities and targeted indications within the broad category of commercially attractive vaccines. Accordingly, University grants Company the right, from time to time, to re-order the priority of, and/or substitute a new replacement virus, bacteria and/or pathogen for any of the Indication Categories above by written notice to University (“Updated Indication Designation”) designating the new order of Indication Categor(ies) and/or potential substitution (i.e., deletion of current and replacement with new) virus, bacteria and/or pathogen, subject to then-current availability (i.e., not exclusively licensed to a Third Party) of the replacement virus, bacteria and/or pathogen (as applicable) and University’s willingness to license such rights.
