Theraclone and provide Theraclone with copies of any rules, regulations, and grant requirements applicable to the Scope of Work
funded with such monies. Restricted monies compliance provisions will be incorporated as an amendment to this Agreement’s
terms and conditions only after IAVI and Theraclone discuss them in good faith and mutually agree upon the use of such funds for

shall maintain books, records, documents and other evidence in accordance with generally accepted and recognized accounting procedures.
Contractor shall preserve and make available its accounting records and documents for examination and audit by IAVI, USAID and
the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their duly authorized representatives: (a) until the expiration of three

IAVI Marking Plan

under USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-OAA-A-11-00020


 


As an international organization, IAVI’s
continued success in accelerating the development of promising HIV vaccine candidates relies upon long-term engagement with our
diverse portfolio of contributors and other stakeholders. This fact is reflected in our Marking Plan. Under this Plan, IAVI had
developed a multi-donor logo which acknowledges all of IAVI’s governmental and largest private sector donors. This logo will
be applied universally, both domestically and outside the U.S., to mark items such as physical infrastructure, workshops, and program
communications; however, the USAID-logo sticker by itself will be used to mark equipment procured entirely with USAID funds. For
example, when appropriate, items would be marked as follows:


 


		·	Publications and other public communications marked with IAVI multi-donor logo in a visible location
such as the front or back cover



 


		·	Invitation letterhead, report or cover marked with IAVI multi-donor logo in a visible location such
as in the body text or footnoted



 


		·	Equipment marked with a USAID logo sticker in a visible location



 


		·	Infrastructure marked with a IAVI multi-donor plaque in a visible location



 


Marking with either the IAVI logo or the USAID
logo (as stipulated above) should be of a size and prominence equivalent to or greater than the logos of the contractor/recipient,
other donors, or other third parties. The Marking Plan Table which follows indicates the items and activities to be marked and
those which are exempt from marking.


 


The USA ID logo stickers (for equipment) can
be either obtained from IAVI or ordered directly from vendors listed on the USAID website (http://www.usaid.gov/branding/suppliers.html).
Three versions of the logo below are available to allow for flexibility of usage. Upon request, an electronic file of all three
versions of the IAVI multi-donor logo will be sent by IAVI to the contractor/recipient.

terms and conditions incorporated either directly or by reference in the following:


 


		a.	45 CFR Part 74; and



 


		b.	The NIH Grants Policy Statement, including addenda in effect as of the beginning date of the budget period.



 


		2.	Prior Approval



 


As outlined in the administrative
requirements of the NIH Grants Policy Statement, NIH prior written approval may be required before IAVI makes certain budget modifications
or undertakes particular activities. As a result, Subawardee agrees to obtain written prior approval from IAVI for the following
activities and/or expenditures under this Agreement:


 


		§	Change in scope



		§	Change in key personnel



		§	Carryover of unobligated balances



		§	Deviation from Agreement terms and conditions



		§	Transfer of the Performance of Substantive Programmatic Work to a Third Party by Means of a Consortium Agreement



		§	Change in the specific aims approved at the time of award



		§	Substitution of one animal model for another



		§	Any change from the approved use of animals or human subjects



		§	Shift of the research emphasis from one disease area to another



		§	A clinical hold by FDA under a study involving an IND or an IDE



		§	Application of a new technology, e.g., changing assays from those approved to a different type of assay



		§	Significant rebudgeting, whether or not the particular expenditure(s) require prior approval. Significant rebudgeting occurs
when expenditures in a single direct cost budget category deviate (increase or decrease) from the categorical commitment level
established for the budget period by more than 25 percent of the total costs awarded. The base used for determining significant
rebudgeting excludes the effects of prior-year carryover balances but includes competing and non-competing supplements.



		§	Incurrence of research patient care costs if costs in that category were not previously approved by NTH or if a grantee desires
to rebudget additional funds beyond those approved into or rebudget funds out of the research patient care category

    	22/29	 



    	 



    

 


		14.	Financial Conflict of Interest



 


Subawardee must promote objectivity
in research by establishing standards to ensure that the design, conduct and reporting of research funded under NIH-funded awards
are not biased by a conflicting financial interest of an Investigator. Investigator is defined as the Principal Investigator and
any other person who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of NIH-funded research or proposed research, including
the Investigator’s spouse and dependent children. Subawardee must have a written administrative process to identify and manage
financial conflict of interest and must inform Investigators of this process, the Investigators’ responsibilities, as well
as provide Investigator training on this process. Prior to expenditure of the funds awarded under this Agreement, the Subawardee
must report to IAVI the existence of a conflicting interest and within 30 days of any new conflicting interests identified after
the initial report. Subawardee must comply with these and all other aspects of 42 CFR Part 50, Subpart F. These requirements also
apply to subgrantees, contractors, or collaborators engaged by the Awardee under this Agreement. The NIH website http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/coi/index.htm
provides additional information. If Subawardee or any subgrantee, contractor, or collaborator engaged by the Subawardee under this
Agreement does not have a Financial Conflict of Interest Policy in place that complies with 42 CFR Part 50, Subpart F, such Subawardee,
subgrantee, contractor, or collaborator must follow IAVI’s Research Conflict of Interest Policy for Investigators Involved
in PHS Funded Research.


 


		15.	Research Misconduct



 


The Subawardee will inquire into
and, if necessary, investigate and resolve promptly and fairly all instances of alleged or apparent research misconduct. Subawardee
agrees to comply with 42 CFR Part 50, Subpart A, “Responsibilities for PHS Awardee and Applicant Institutions for Dealing
With and Reporting Possible Misconduct in Science.” The Subawardee certifies that it has established administrative policies
as required by 42 CFR 50, Subpart A, and will comply with those policies and the requirements of the regulations. The regulations
are available from the ORI on its home page (www.ori.dhhs.gov). The Subawardee will report promptly to IAVI any incident
of alleged or apparent research misconduct that it judges as warranting investigation and must advise IAVI of any decision to initiate
an investigation. The Subawardee agrees to promptly report issues involving potential criminal violations, such as misappropriation
of funds awarded under this Agreement, to IAVI.


 


		16.	Human Subjects Research



 


		a.	Subawardee agrees to conduct human subjects research under this Agreement in compliance with 45 CFR Part 46 and the Standards
for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information outlined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.



 


		b.	Subawardee certifies that it has an appropriate OHRP-approved assurance and IRB approval of the research consistent with 45
CFR Part 46 and that it will comply with NIH prior-approval requirements related to the addition of sites not included in the approved
application. Subawardee certifies that all key personnel performing Project Activities under this Agreement have received training
in the protection of human subjects.



 






    	23/29	 



    	 



    

 


		17.	Data and Safety Monitoring



 


Subawardee agrees to comply with
NIH requirements for data and safety monitoring outlined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.


 


		18.	Investigational New Drug Applications/Investigational Device Exceptions



 


If Project Activities under this
Agreement involve INDs, drugs approved for a different indication, or experimental combinations of drugs, Subawardee agrees to
comply with FDA’s IND regulations, FDA’s human subjects’ protection requirements, and HHS’s human subjects’
requirements. As provided in the FDA regulations, an IND or IDE also may apply to biologics or devices. The FDA regulations are
published in 21 CFR Parts 50 and 312.


 


		19.	Requirements for Inclusiveness in Research Design



 


In accordance with the NIH Grants
Policy Statement, Subawardee agrees that Project Activities under this Agreement will be as inclusive in design as possible to
extend the validity of research findings and allow for enhancement of the health status of all population groups.


 


		20.	Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research



 


Subawardee certifies that Project
Activities under this Agreement involving human subjects of any age will comply with the NIH Policy and Guidelines on the Inclusion
of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research, implementing section 492B of the PHS Act. These guidelines require that
women and members of minority groups and their subpopulations be included in Project Activities under this Agreement involving
human subjects, unless a clear and compelling rationale and justification establishes, to the satisfaction of the NIH IC Director,
that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the health of the subjects, the purpose of the research, or other circumstances.
Cost is not an acceptable reason for exclusion, except when the research would duplicate data already available from other sources.
Women of childbearing potential should not be routinely excluded from participation in clinical research. The guidelines should
be reviewed for policy concerning inclusion of these groups in all NIH-supported clinical trials. This policy applies to subjects
of all ages.


 


		21.	Inclusion of Children as Subjects in Clinical Research



 


		a.	Subawardee certifies that Project Activities under this Agreement involving human subjects will be performed in compliance
with the NIH Policy Statement and this research must include children in the research design unless there are scientific or ethical
reasons not to include them. For the purpose of addressing the NIH policy requirement for inclusion, a child is defined as an individual
under the age of 21 years.



 






    	24/29	 



    	 



    

 


		b.	The inclusion of children as subjects in Project Activities under this Agreement must comply with all applicable provisions
of pertinent Federal laws and regulations, including 45 CFR Part 46. Regulatory requirements in 45 CFR 46 Subpart D address HHS
protections for children who participate in research. These requirements must be addressed when “children” (persons
who, under the applicable law of the jurisdiction in which the research will be conducted, have not attained the legal age for
consent to treatments or procedures involved in the research) are involved as subjects in research.



 


		22.	Human Embryo Research, Cloning, and Transplantation



 


		a.	Ban on Human Embryo Research and Cloning: In accordance with NIB policy, funds awarded under this Agreement may not be used
to support human embryo research. Funds awarded under this Agreement may not be used for the creation of a human embryo for research
purposes or for research in which a human embryo is destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death greater
than that allowed for research on fetuses in utero under 45 CFR 46.204 and 46.207 and subsection 498(b) of the PHS Act. The term
“human embryo” includes any organism not protected as a human subject under 45 CFR 46, as of the date of enactment
of the governing appropriations act, that is derived by fertilization, parthenogenesis, cloning, or any other means from one or
more human gametes or human diploid cells.



 


		b.	In addition to the statutory restrictions on human fetal research under subsection 498 (b) of the PHS Act, by Presidential
memorandum of March 4, 1997, Subawardee is prohibited from using funds awarded under this Agreement for cloning of human beings.



 


		c.	Research on Human Fetal Tissue: Human fetal tissue is defined as tissue or cells obtained from a dead human embryo or fetus
after a spontaneous or induced abortion or stillbirth. This definition does not include established human fetal cell lines. Research
involving the transplantation of human fetal tissue must be conducted in accordance with applicable State and local laws as well
as the following NIH guidance - NIH guidance for grantees conducting research on human fetal tissue and other information on the
governing Federal statute, sections 498A and 498B of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 289g-1 and 298g-2, is available on the NIH website
at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not93-235.html.



 


		d.	Research on Transplantation of Fetal Tissue: Subawardee will make available for audit by the HHS Secretary or designee, the
physician statements and informed consents required by subsections 498A(b)(2) and (c) of the PHS Act or will ensure HHS access
to those records, if maintained by an entity other than the Subawardee. This requirement is in addition to the requirements concerning
human subjects in research.



 






    	25/29	 



    	 



    

 


		e.	In addition, FDA issued a letter on November 30, 2000, indicating that it has jurisdiction over fetal cells and tissues intended
for use in humans. FDA is requesting that investigators contact them to determine whether any planned or ongoing clinical research
would require submission of an IND application. Additional information and FDA contact information is available at http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/ucm105857.htm



 


		23.	Research Using Human Embryonic Stem Cells



 


Subawardee certifies that research
using human embryonic germ cells derived from fetal tissue will be performed in compliance with NIH guidelines outlined in the
