This Statement on Schedule 13D is filed with respect to 12,500,000 shares (the Shares) of
the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Novavax, Inc. (the Company) held by Satellite

herein collectively as the Cadila Entities.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
The name of the subject company is Novavax, Inc., and the address of its principal executive
office is 9920 Belward Campus Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850. The class of securities to which
this Statement relates is the common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (Common
Stock).
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a)-(c); (f) This Statement is filed by the Cadila Entities and Dr. Rajiv I. Modi (Dr.
Modi), who may be deemed to control the Cadila Entities. The information concerning the name,
state or other place of organization, principal business, and the address of the principal office
of each of the Cadila Entities, and the information concerning the name, business address, present
principal occupation or employment, and the name, principal business address of any corporation or
other organization in which such employment or occupation is conducted, and the citizenship of Dr.
Modi and each of the executive officers and directors of the Cadila Entities is filed as Exhibit 1
hereto.
(d); (e) During the last five years, none of the Cadila Entities or Dr. Modi, or, to their
knowledge, any of the directors or executive officers of the Cadila Entities, has been convicted in
a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violation
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Shares were acquired directly from the Company pursuant to an existing shelf registration
statement for an aggregate purchase price of $11,000,000. The purchase price was financed by SOHL
pursuant to an intercompany loan from Cadila. Approximately $10.9 million of the funds used to
make the intercompany loan was obtained by Cadila pursuant to
short-term loans due in 120 days (the Short-Term
Financing) from
Corporation Bank, Ahmedabad, India (authorized loan
amount: $8,898,556; disbursed loan
amount: $8,898,556) and Allahabad Bank, Ahmedabad,
India (authorized loan amount: $11,864,742; disbursed loan
amount: $1,977,457). The Short-Term Financing is personally guaranteed by Mr. Indravadan A. Modi, Chairman
and Managing Director of Cadila. The balance of the intercompany loan was obtained from internally
generated funds of Cadila.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
SOHL acquired the Shares for investment purposes. One or more of the reporting persons filing
this Schedule may determine to purchase additional shares of the Companys Common Stock or other
securities in the open market, pursuant to preemptive rights, or otherwise, depending upon price,
market conditions, availability of funds, evaluation of alternative investments and other factors.
One or more of the reporting persons could determine, based upon the same set of factors listed
above with respect to purchases, to sell some or all of the Shares. Furthermore, SOHL may exercise
its rights (or one or more of the other reporting persons may cause SOHL to exercise its rights)
under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Item 6, below), including the right to cause
the Company after December 31, 2009 to register the Shares under the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), in order to facilitate the sale of any
or all of the Shares without being subject to the volume or other limitations of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act (Rule 144). In addition, the reporting persons are
considering alternatives for the refinancing of the Short-Term Financing, which may include a
pledge of the Shares as collateral. Except as set forth above, the Cadila Entities and Dr. Modi
have no intention to effect any of the transactions specified in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) SOHL is the beneficial owner of the Shares, which constitute 15.4% of the Companys
outstanding Common Stock. Dr. Modi may be deemed to control Cadila, which controls SOHL. Thus, both
Dr. Modi and Cadila may be considered to have beneficial ownership of the Shares. These shares are
held for convenience in the name of SOHL, Inc., as nominee for SOHL. SOHL, Inc. has no voting,
dispositive or pecuniary interest in any such shares.
(b) SOHL has both voting and investment power with respect to the Shares. However, Cadila and
Dr. Modi may be deemed to control SOHL. Therefore, each of the reporting persons has voting and
investment power with respect to the Shares.
(c) Neither of the Cadila Entities or Dr. Modi or, to their knowledge, any executive officer
or director of the Cadila Entities, has engaged in any transaction in any shares of the Companys
Common Stock during the sixty days immediately preceding the date hereof, except for the April 1,
2009 purchase by SOHL directly from the Company of 1,250,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock
at a purchase price of $0.88 per share pursuant to an existing shelf registration statement.
(d); (e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer
On March 31, 2009, SOHL entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase
Agreement) with the Company pursuant to which SOHL agreed to purchase 12.5 million shares of the
Companys Common Stock for a purchase price of $0.88 per share. The transaction closed on April 1,
2009. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, as long as SOHL owns more than 5% of the
Companys then-outstanding Common Stock, SOHL has the right to purchase a pro-rata portion of any
sale of Common Stock by the Company, subject to certain exceptions. The Stock Purchase Agreement
also provides that for so long as SOHL owns at least 5% of the Companys outstanding Common Stock,
SOHL has the right to designate one member of the Companys board of directors.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, SOHL also
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) with the Company
on March 31, 2009. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that after December 31, 2009, SOHL
is entitled to one demand registration right every three years. The Registration Rights Agreement
also provides SOHL with piggyback registration rights. These registration rights terminate on the
first date on which all of the Shares held by SOHL and its affiliates may be sold in any ninety day
period without registration in compliance with Rule 144.
Other than as set forth above, neither of the Cadila Entities or Dr. Modi or, to their
knowledge, any executive officer or director of the Cadila Entities, has any other contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships with any persons with respect to the securities of
the Company.

2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company. The Company represents
and warrants to and agrees with Investor as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date and any
other date specified below, that:
(a) The Company has been duly incorporated and has a valid existence and the authorization to
transact business as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power
and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus, and
has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good
standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or
conducts any business so as to require such qualification, except for such jurisdictions wherein
the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not individually or in the aggregate have
a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, with corporate
power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus,
and has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good
standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or
conducts any business so as to require such qualification, except for such jurisdictions wherein
the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not individually or in the aggregate have
a Material Adverse Effect. All subsidiaries and their respective jurisdictions of incorporation
are identified on Schedule I hereto. Except as disclosed in Schedule I, all of the
outstanding capital stock or other voting securities of each subsidiary is owned by the Company,
directly or indirectly, free and clear of any lien and free of any other limitation or restriction
(including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or
other voting securities). Other than the Companys 4.75% senior convertible notes (the
Convertible Notes) and warrants to purchase 3,343,325 of Company Common Stock (the
2008 Warrants), there are no outstanding (i) securities of the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company which are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting
securities of any subsidiary of the Company or (ii) options or other rights to acquire from the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or other obligation of the Company or any subsidiary of
the Company to issue, any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or

subsidiary of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding Subsidiary
Securities.
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the corporate powers of the Company
and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the
Agreement, when duly executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute a valid and legally
binding instrument of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement
hereof may be limited by the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws or court decisions affecting enforcement of creditors rights generally and except as
enforcement hereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(d) The Shares have been duly authorized by the Company, and when issued and delivered by the
Company against payment therefor as contemplated by this Agreement, the Shares will (i) be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) not be subject
2
to any statutory or contractual preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
or acquire any shares of Common Stock, which have not been waived or complied with, and (iii)
conform to the description of the Common Stock contained in the Prospectus. The capital stock of
the Company, including the Common Stock, conforms as to the legal matters to the description
thereof, if any, contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and as of the date

proper form and the holders of Shares will not be subject to personal liability by reason of being
such holders.
(e) The execution and delivery of the Agreement does not, and the compliance by the Company
with the terms hereof will not, (i) violate the Certificate of Incorporation (as amended to date)
of the Company or the By-Laws (as amended to date) of the Company, (ii) result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or
its subsidiary is bound, or (iii) result in a violation of, or failure to be in compliance with,
any applicable statute or any order, judgment, decree, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or
its subsidiary, except in the case of (ii) and (iii) where such breach, violation, default or the
failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and no consent, approval,
authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification of or with any such court or
governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or body is required for the valid authorization,
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreement or the issuance of the Shares,
except for such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, filings or qualifications as
may be required under the Securities Act or state securities or blue sky laws and have been or
will be obtained and which have been or will be made in connection with the listing of the Shares
on the Nasdaq Global Market.
(f) The Company meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act for
the primary issuance of securities. The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
Commission and at the time it became effective, and as of the date hereof, the Registration
Statement complied and complies with Rule 415 under the Securities Act. No stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose
has been initiated or, to the Companys knowledge, threatened by the Commission. On the effective
date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement complied, on the date of the
Prospectus, the Prospectus will comply, and at the date of the Closing, the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus will comply, in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the
Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; on the
effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement and the additional
information disclosed by the Company to the Investor in a document titled Investor Information
(the Investor Information) did not, on the date of the Prospectus, the Prospectus did not, and at
the date of the Closing, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and the Investor
Information, will not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made (with respect to the Prospectus), not misleading;
and when filed with the Commission, the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, complied or will comply in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. There is no material document of a
character required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
3
that is not described or filed as required. The Companys form 10-K for year ended 2008 will
not contain any material information that is not included in the Investor Information.
(g) The consolidated financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Investor Information comply as to form with
the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles (except, with respect to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements and the accompanying footnotes which are subject to customary audit
adjustments) applied on a consistent basis, are consistent in all material respects with the books
and records of the Company, and accurately present in all material respects the consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiary as of and
for the periods covered thereby. There are no other financial statements (historical or pro forma)
that are required to be included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
(h) There are no material liabilities of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of any
kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and
there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances which could reasonably be
expected to result in such a liability, other than liabilities disclosed in the consolidated
financial statements and financial schedules of the Company included or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and other undisclosed liabilities which,
individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the Company and its subsidiary, taken as a
whole.
(i) Neither the Company nor its subsidiary has sustained, since the respective dates of the
latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus, any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion,
flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or
governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as disclosed in or contemplated by the
Registration Statement and Prospectus; and, since the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there has not been any material change in the
capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or its subsidiary, the Company and its subsidiary
have not incurred any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, nor entered into
any material transactions, except for entering into purchase orders in the ordinary course of
business, and there has not been any material adverse change in or affecting the general affairs,
assets, business, management, financial position or condition, stockholders equity or results of
operations of the Company and its subsidiary considered as a whole, otherwise than as disclosed in
the Registration Statement and Prospectus.
(j) Other than as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no legal, governmental or regulatory
proceedings pending to which the Company or its subsidiary is a party or of which any material
property of the Company or its subsidiary is the subject which, taking into account the likelihood
of the outcome, the damages or other relief sought and other relevant factors, would individually
or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or adversely affect
the ability of the Company to issue and sell the Shares; to the best of the Companys knowledge, no
such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental or regulatory authorities or
threatened by others.
(k) The Company and its subsidiary have good and marketable title to all the real property and
owns all other properties and assets, reflected as owned in the financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
4
and the Investor Information, subject to no lien, mortgage, pledge, charge or encumbrance of
any kind except those, if any, reflected in such financial statements or which are not material to
the Company and its subsidiary taken as a whole. The Company and its subsidiary hold their
respective leased real and personal properties under valid and binding leases, except where the
failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(l) The Company has filed all necessary federal and state income and franchise tax returns and
has paid all taxes shown as due thereon or has filed all necessary extensions, and there is no tax
deficiency that has been, or to the knowledge of the Company might be, asserted against the Company
or any of its properties or assets that would in the aggregate or individually reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Affect.
(m) There are no authorized options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or
other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or its subsidiary other than the 2008 Warrants
and those accurately described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. There are no
holders or beneficial owners of securities of the Company having rights to registration thereof
whose securities have not been previously registered or who have not waived such rights with
respect to the registration of the Companys securities on the Registration Statement, except where
the failure to obtain such waiver would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Other than as disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company together with its subsidiary owns
and possesses all right, title and interest in and to, or, to the Companys knowledge, has duly
licensed from third parties, all patents, patent rights, trade secrets, inventions, know-how,
trademarks, trade names, copyrights, service marks and other proprietary rights (Intellectual
Property) material to the business of the Company and its subsidiary taken as a whole as
currently conducted and as described in the Prospectus. To the Companys knowledge and except as
would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no infringement
or other violation by third parties of any of the Intellectual Property of the Company. Neither
the Company nor its subsidiary has received any notice of infringement or misappropriation from any
third party that has not been resolved or disposed of. Further, there is no pending or, to the
Companys knowledge and except as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material
Adverse Effect, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by governmental authorities or others
that the Company is infringing a patent, and there is no pending or, to the Companys knowledge and
except as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, threatened
legal or administrative proceeding relating to patents and patent applications of the Company,
other than proceedings initiated by the Company before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office and the patent offices of certain foreign jurisdictions which are in the ordinary course of
patent prosecution. To the Companys knowledge, the patent applications of the Company presently
on file disclose patentable subject matter, and the Company is not aware of any inventorship
challenges, any interference which has been declared or provoked, or any other material fact that
(i) would preclude the issuance of patents with respect to such applications, or (ii) would lead
outside patent counsel for the Company to reasonably conclude that such patents, when issued, would
not be valid and enforceable in accordance with applicable regulations.
(o) The Company conducts its business in compliance in all respects with applicable laws,
rules and regulations of governmental and regulatory bodies to which it is subject, except where
the failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
5
(p) All offers and sales of the Companys capital stock prior to the date hereof were at all
relevant times registered pursuant to the Securities Act or exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and were issued in compliance in all material respects with
applicable state securities or blue sky laws.
(q) The Company has filed with the Nasdaq Global Market a Notification of Listing of
Additional Shares with respect to the Shares required by the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market and
has not received a notice from the Nasdaq Global Market that such notification is insufficient.
The offer and sale of the Shares does not require stockholder approval under Rule 4350 of the
Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.
(r) Neither the Company nor its subsidiary nor, to the best of the Companys knowledge, any
employee or agent of the Company or its subsidiary, has (i) used any corporate funds for unlawful
contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, (ii)
made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to foreign or
domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) violated any provision of the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or (iv) made any other unlawful payment.
(s) There is no broker, finder or other party that is entitled to receive from the Company any
brokerage or finders fee or other fee or commission as a result of any transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
(t) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with managements general or
specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and
to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
managements general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect
to any differences. Except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, since
the most recent audit of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting, there has been (i) no material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting (whether or not remediated) and (ii) no change in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
(u) The Company has established, maintains and evaluates disclosure controls and procedures
(as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), which (i) are
designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the Companys
principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities,
particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are
being prepared, (ii) have been evaluated for effectiveness as of the end of the last fiscal period
covered by the Registration Statement; and (iii) such disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to perform the functions for which they were established. There are no significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which could
adversely affect the Companys ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data to
management and the board of directors of the Company. The Company is not aware of any fraud,
whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the
Companys internal controls; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure
controls and procedures, there have been
6
no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses.
(v) The Company and, to its knowledge, all of the Companys directors or officers, in their
capacities as such, is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable effective
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and any related rules and regulations promulgated by the
Commission.
(w) The Company is not, nor after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and
the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, will be, (i) required to
register as an investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the Investment Company Act), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
or (ii) a business development company (as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of the Investment Company
Act).
(x) The Company maintains insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as it reasonably
considers to be adequate for the conduct of its business and the value of its properties and as is
customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries. All such insurance is
fully in force on the date hereof and will be fully in force as of the Closing Date. The Company
has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and
when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary
to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(y) The Company has not sold or issued any securities that would be integrated with the
offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the Securities Act, the
published rules and regulations thereunder, or the interpretations thereof by the Commission.
(z) The section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of OperationsCritical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsCritical Accounting Policies and
Estimates for Discontinued Operations in the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K,
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Investor Information accurately and fully describes (A)
the accounting policies that the Company believes are the most important in the portrayal of the
Companys financial condition and results of operations and that require managements most
difficult, subjective or complex judgments (Critical Accounting Policies); and (B) the
judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of Critical Accounting Policies.
(aa) Neither the Company nor, to the Companys knowledge, any of its officers, directors,
affiliates or controlling persons has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to cause or result in, or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to
constitute the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to
facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.
(bb) No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among the Company on the one hand
and the directors, officers, stockholders, customers or suppliers of the Company on the other hand
which is required to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus which has not
been so described. There are no outstanding loans, advances (except
7
normal advances for business expenses in the ordinary course of business) or guarantees or
indebtedness by the Company to, or for the benefit of, any of the current officers or directors of
the Company.
(cc) The Company has filed in a timely manner all reports required to be filed pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(e), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (except to
the extent that Section 15(d) requires reports to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of
the Exchange Act, which shall be governed by the next clause of this sentence); and the Company has
filed in a timely manner all reports required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of
the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months, except where the failure to timely file could not
reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(dd) The Company and its subsidiary (a) are in compliance with any and all applicable foreign,
federal, state and local laws, orders, rules, regulations, directives, decrees and judgments
relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic
substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (Environmental Laws), (b) have received
all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to
conduct their business and the same are effective and in use on the date of this Agreement and (c)
are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except
where such noncompliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, licenses or
other approvals or failure to comply with the terms and conditions of such permits, licenses or
approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. There
are no costs or liabilities associated with Environmental Laws (including, without limitation, any
capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with
Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating
activities and any potential liabilities to third parties) which would, individually or in the
aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(ee) Nether the Company nor its subsidiary is engaged in any unfair labor practice; except for
matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect and
(i) there is (A) no unfair labor practice complaint pending or, to the Companys knowledge after
due inquiry, threatened against the Company or its subsidiary before the National Labor Relations

currently taking place concerning the employees of the Company or its subsidiary and (B) there has

applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including
the regulations thereunder (ERISA); no reportable event (as defined in ERISA) has
occurred with respect to any pension plan (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company or its
subsidiary would have any liability; neither the Company nor its subsidiary has incurred and does
not expect to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or
withdrawal from, any pension plan or (ii) Sections 412 or 4971 of the
8
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations thereunder (the
Code); and each pension plan for which the Company would have any liability that is
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is the subject of a favorable opinion or
determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service and nothing has occurred, whether by
action or by failure to act, which is reasonably expected to result in the revocation of such
determination letter.
(gg) Any statistical, industry-related and market-related data included or incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Investor Information, are based on
or derived from sources that the Company reasonably and in good faith believes to be reliable and
accurate, and such data agree with the sources from which they are derived.
(hh) The clinical, pre-clinical and other studies and tests conducted by or on behalf of or
sponsored by the Company or its subsidiary or in which the Company or its subsidiary or products or
product candidates have participated that are described in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus were and, if still pending, are being conducted in accordance in all material respects
with all statutes, laws, rules and regulations administered by the Food and Drug Association
(FDA) and with standard medical and scientific research procedures. The descriptions in
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Investor Information of the results of such
studies and tests are accurate and complete in all material respects and fairly present the
published data derived from such studies and tests. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary has
received any notices or other correspondence from the FDA with respect to any ongoing clinical or
pre-clinical studies or tests requiring the termination, suspension or material modification of
such studies or tests, which such termination, suspension or material modification would reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiary is in
compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, orders and decrees governing its business as
prescribed by the FDA except where noncompliance would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

unless converted into Common Stock or amended, will be paid on or before July 19, 2009 with funds

Update, if such extension is longer than the expiration of the Exercise Period. The closing of any
purchase by Investor shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or
sale described in the Issuance Notice; provided, however that, the closing of any purchase by
Investor may be extended beyond the closing of the transaction described in the Issuance Notice to
the extent necessary to obtain required government approvals and other required third party
approvals or consents (and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such
approvals and consents).
(d) Sales to the Prospective Buyer. If Investor fails to elect to purchase all or part
of its Pro Rata Portion allotment of the new Equity Securities described in the Issuance Notice
within the time period described in subsection (c), the Company shall be free to complete the
proposed issuance or sale of new Equity Securities described in the Issuance Notice at a price and
on other terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice. If the
Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of such new Equity Securities within twenty
(20) business days after the expiration of the time period described in subsection (c), or if such
agreement is not consummated within sixty (60) days after the execution thereof, the pre-emptive
right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such new
11
Equity Securities shall not be issued or sold unless first reoffered to the Investor in
accordance with this Section 5.
6. Board Seat. During the period of time (the Investor Board Representation
Period) beginning on the date the Investor beneficially owns (as determined under Rule 13d-3
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the Threshold Amount, and ending on the date
the Investor owns less than the Threshold Amount, the Investor may designate one member of the
Board (the Investor Director), who shall also serve on such committees of the Board as
designated by the Board. In connection therewith, the Company hereby agrees to create a vacancy
and appoint Dr. Rajiv I. Modi (the Representative) as a Class I director of the Company.
As a Class I director, the Representative will be subject to stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders to be held in June 2011. The Company agrees to cause the Representative to be
nominated and recommended for reelection for so long as the Investor beneficially owns Common Stock
in excess of the Threshold Amount, and to promptly take any action as may be necessary after any
stockholder meeting to effect the first sentence of this Section 6. The Investor will cause the
Representative to supply any customary or required information and consents reasonably required by
the Company to be included in the Companys Proxy Statements and filings with the Commission under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act of 1934. The Company agrees that in the event it receives
a request by the Investor to replace the Representative, the Company will reasonably cooperate with
Investor to effect such replacement provided that the replacement individual is reasonably
acceptable to the Board of Directors.
7. Public Disclosure. The Company shall (i) before the opening of trading on the
Nasdaq Global Market on the next trading day after the date hereof, issue a press release,
disclosing all material aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, and (ii) make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The
Company shall not identify the Investor by name in any press release or public filing, or otherwise
publicly disclose the Investors name, without the Investors prior written consent, unless
required by law or the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization or exchange to
which the Company or its securities are subject.
8. Conditions. The obligation of the Investor to purchase and acquire the Shares
hereunder shall be subject to the condition that all representations and warranties and other
statements of the Company shall be true and correct as of and on each of the date of this Agreement
and the date of the Closing, the condition that the Company shall have performed all of its
obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:
(a) The Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing, no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been
issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the
Commission, and the Investor shall have received the Prospectus in accordance with the federal
securities laws.
(b) Prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any change, or any development
involving a prospective change, which would constitute a Material Adverse Effect, and that makes it
impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
12
(c) No action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been
enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental agency or body which would, as of the Closing Date,
prevent the issuance or sale of the Shares or materially and adversely affect or reasonably be
believed to materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company; and no
injunction, restraining order or order of any other nature by any federal or state court of
competent jurisdiction shall have been issued as of the Closing Date which would prevent the
issuance or sale of the Shares or materially and adversely affect or reasonably be believed to
materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company.
(d) The Investor shall have received from Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP, counsel to
the Company, such counsels written opinion and written statement, addressed to the Investor and
dated the Closing Date, in form and substance as set forth in Exhibit B.
(e) The Shares shall have been authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq Global Market, Inc.
(f) The JV Agreement and the agreements contemplated thereby, and the Services Agreement shall

9. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of the Investor. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
of the Investors and its owners, officers, directors, managers, members, agents, advisors,
successors and assigns (each, an Indemnified Party), against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is
effected with the written consent of the Company, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including
the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and
at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and Regulations promulgated
under the Securities Act, if applicable, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto (including any documents filed under the Exchange Act and deemed to
be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any
materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in
connection with the marketing of the offering of the Common Stock (Marketing Materials),
including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in
person or electronically) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; or (ii) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations
and warranties of the Company contained herein; or (iii) in whole or in part upon any failure of
the Company to perform their respective obligations hereunder or under law; provided, however, that
the
13
Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made in the Prospectus Supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Indemnified Party, specifically
for use in the preparation thereof.
In addition to their other obligations under this Section 9(a), the Company agrees
that, as an interim measure during the pendency of any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or
other proceeding brought or threatened against the Indemnified Party and which arises out of or
based upon any statement or omission, or any alleged statement or omission, described in this
Section 9(a), they will reimburse each Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for all
reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the absence of a
judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the Companys obligation to
reimburse such Indemnified Party for such expenses and the possibility that such payments might
later be held to have been improper by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any
such interim reimbursement payment is so held to have been improper, each Indemnified Party that
received such payment shall promptly return it to the party or parties that made such payment,
together with interest, determined on the basis of the prime rate (or other commercial lending rate
for borrowers of the highest credit standing) announced from time to time by The Wall Street
Journal (the Prime Rate). Any such interim reimbursement payments which are not made to
an Indemnified Party within 30 days of a request for reimbursement shall bear interest at the Prime
Rate from the date of such request. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any
liabilities which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under subsection (a)
above of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the Company under such subsection, notify the Company in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company shall not relieve
the Company from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party except to the extent the
Company has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought
against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the
Company shall be entitled to participate in, and, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party
of the Companys election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to such
Indemnified Party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation; provided, however, that if, in the sole judgment of the Indemnified Party, it is
advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ a single counsel to represent such Indemnified Party, in which event
the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Company and
reimbursed to the Indemnified Party as incurred (in accordance with the provisions of the second
paragraph in subsection (a) above).
The Company under this Section 9 shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party against
any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested
the Company to reimburse such Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by
this Section 8, the Company agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than
14
30 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid request and (ii) the Company shall not have
reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party
and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such
settlement, compromise or consent (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (b)
does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or
on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
(c) Contribution; Limitation on Liability. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under
subsection (a) above, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in
subsection (a) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the offering of
the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified
Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Indemnified Party and the parties
relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement or omission. The Company and the Indemnified Party agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(c) were to be determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9(c). The amount paid by
an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the
first sentence of this Section 9(c) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against
any action or claim which is the subject of this Section 9(c). Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 9(c), no Indemnified Party shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount received by it (net of expenses) from the public sale of Shares
purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(d) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall
be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the
same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Indemnified Party within the
meaning of the Securities Act. Each Indemnified Party shall also have all rights and remedies
available to it under the law and in equity, in addition to the rights and benefits of this
Section 9.
15
(e) Survival. Except in the case of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, the
provisions of this Section 9 shall survive until the first anniversary of the Closing.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Definitions. As used herein, the following terms have the meanings indicated:

This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this Agreement), dated as of March 31, 2009, by and
between Novavax, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its headquarters located at 9920 Belward Campus
Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850 (the Company), and Satellite Overseas (Holdings) Limited
(together with its affiliates and any assignee or transferee of all of its rights hereunder, the
Investor).
WHEREAS:
In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the parties hereto of even date
herewith (the Stock Purchase Agreement), the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions contained therein, to issue and sell to the Investor 12,500,000 shares (the
Shares) of the Companys common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the Common Stock); and
To induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has
agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
(a) Affiliate means, with respect to any individual, corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, association, trust, or any other entity (in each case, a Person), any other Person
which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such
Person.
(b) Exchange Act means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
(c) Form S-3 means such form under the Securities Act as in effect on the date hereof or any
registration form under the Securities Act subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion
or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company
with the SEC.
(d) SEC means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(e) SEC Rule 144 means Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.
(f) SEC Rule 145 means Rule 145 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.
(g) Securities Act means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
2. Registration Rights
(a) Demand Registration Rights.
(i) If the Company shall receive, at any time after December 31, 2009, a written demand from
the Investor that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act, then the
Company shall:
(1) as soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such
request, file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all of the Shares which
the Investor requests to be registered; and
(2) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the
SEC as soon as practicable.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Investor requesting a
registration statement pursuant to this Section 2(a) a certificate signed by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the board of directors
of the Company it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such
registration statement to become effective or to remain effective as long as such registration
statement would otherwise be required to remain effective because such action would (i) materially
interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction
involving the Company, (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company
has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (iii) render the Company unable
to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, the Company shall have the
right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than forty-five
(45) days after receipt of the request of the Investor; provided, however, that the
Company may not utilize this right more than twice in any twelve-month period and provided
further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other
stockholder during any such forty-five (45) day period other than a registration statement relating
either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock
purchase or similar plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction, a registration on any form that does not
include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration
statement covering the sale of the Shares, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being
registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being
registered.
(iii) All expenses incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to this
Section 2(a) shall be paid as set forth in Section 2(f) hereof.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(a) to the contrary, the Company shall
only be required to consummate one (1) offering pursuant to this Section 2(a) during any
three (3) year period. A registration statement shall not be counted until such time as such
registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC (unless the Investor withdraws its
request for such registration (other than as a result of information
2
concerning the business or financial condition or prospects of the Company which is made known
to the Investor after the date on which such registration was requested) and elects not to pay the
registration expenses therefor pursuant to Section 2(f).
(v) If the Investor intends to distribute the Shares covered by its request by means of an
underwriting, the Investor shall so advise the Company as part of its request.
(b) Piggyback Registration.
(i) If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by
the Company for stockholders other than the Investor) any of its stock or other securities under
the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other
than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company
pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction, a
registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be
required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Shares or a
registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of debt securities which are also being registered) (a Piggyback Registration), the
Company shall, at such time, promptly give the Investor written notice of such registration. Upon
the written request of the Investor given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by
the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), cause to be
registered under the Securities Act all of the Shares that the Investor has requested to be
included in such Piggyback Registration. The Company shall pay the expenses of any such Piggyback
Registration as set forth in Section 2(g) hereof. The Company shall have the right to
terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2(b) prior to the
effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Investor has elected to include Shares in
such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company.
(ii) In the event that the Investor elects to participate in a Piggyback Registration that is
effected by the Company for a stockholder of the Company other than the Investor, the Investor
agrees to consider in good faith waiving its rights to participate in such Piggyback Registration
if the Company informs the Investor of its good faith opinion that the inclusion of the Shares in
such offering would be detrimental to the offering.
(c) Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to
effect the registration of any of the Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
(i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Shares and use
its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the
request of the Investor, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one
hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration
statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall
be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Investor refrains from selling any
securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of
3
Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company and (ii) in the case of any registration of
the Shares on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject
to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such 120-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to
keep the registration statement effective until all such Shares are sold;
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
all securities covered by such registration statement;
(iii) furnish to the Investor (a) a draft copy of the registration statement and (b) such
numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of Shares owned by it;
(iv) use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such
registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall
be reasonably requested by the Investor; provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general
consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already
subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(v) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering;
(vi) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Shares registered pursuant hereunder and a
CUSIP number for all such Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration;
(vii) notify the Investor, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time
when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus
forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;
(viii) after such registration statement becomes effective, notify the Investor of any request
by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.
(ix) notify the Investor, at any time when a prospectus relating such registration statement
is required to be delivered under the Act, of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in
respect of such registration statement, or (ii) the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
4
(x) to the extent not already listed, cause all Shares registered hereunder to be listed on
each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and
(xi) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish, at the request of the Investor, on the date
that Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with an underwritten
registration pursuant to Section 2(b), if such securities are being sold through
underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the
registration statement with respect to such Shares becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of

and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and
reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, addressed to the underwriters and to the Investor, and
(ii) a comfort letter dated as of such date from the independent certified public accountants of
the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to the
Investor, addressed to the Investor, provided, however, that such comfort letter
shall be at the Investors own expense.
(d) Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Shares that the
Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Shares held by it, and

registration of the Shares.

underwriting of shares of the Companys capital stock pursuant to Section 2(b), the Company
shall not be required to include any of the Shares in such underwriting unless the Investor accepts
the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters. If the
total number of securities, including the Shares, requested by stockholders to be included in such
offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold, other than by the Company, that the
underwriters determine in their reasonable discretion is compatible with the success of the
offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including the Shares, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will
not jeopardize the success of the offering , except that no securities held by the Investor shall
be excluded until all securities held by all other Persons other than the Company have been
excluded.
(f) Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses, other than taxes, underwriting
discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications

qualification fees (including blue sky fees), printers and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel
for the Investor shall be borne equally by the Company and the Investor; provided, however, that
the Investor shall not be required to pay any such expenses in excess of $20,000 per each
registration requested pursuant to Section 2(a); provided further, that the
Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant
to Section 2(a) if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the
Investor; and
5
provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the
Investor has learned of information concerning the business or financial condition or prospects of
the Company not known to the Investor at the time of its request and has withdrawn the request with
reasonable promptness after learning of such information, then the Investor shall not be required
to pay any of such expenses and shall retain its rights pursuant to Section 2(a).
(g) Expenses of Piggyback Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses
incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Shares with respect to the

(h) Indemnification. In the event any Shares are included in a registration statement
under this Section 2:
(i) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor,
and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of the Investor; legal counsel and
accountants for the Investor; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Investor;
and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages (as defined below), and the Company will
pay to the Investor, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any claim
or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2(h)(i) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the
Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or
omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on
behalf of the Investor, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly
for use in connection with such registration.
(ii) To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement,
each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal
counsel and accountants for the Company, and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act),
against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based
upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration;
and the Investor will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any claim or
proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2(h)(ii) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
6
and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by
the Investor by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2(h)(ii) and
2(h)(iv) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Investor (net of any
underwriting discounts and commissions paid by the Investor), except in the case of fraud or
willful misconduct by the Investor.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2(h) of notice
of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be
entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2(h), give the indemnifying
party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate
jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that
an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel
in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of
the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 2(h), to the extent that such failure materially
prejudices the indemnifying partys ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to
the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section 2(h).
(iv) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the
Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification
hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2(h) but it is
judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that
such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this
Section 2(h) provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the
Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is
provided under this Section 2(h), then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute
to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject
(after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements,
omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as
well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or
alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or
by the indemnified party and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however,
that, in any such case, (x) the Investor will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
public offering price of all such Shares offered and sold by the Investor pursuant to such
registration statement and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be
7
entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall the Investors
liability pursuant to this Section 2(h)(iv), when combined with the amounts paid or payable
by the Investor pursuant to Section 2(h)(ii), exceed the proceeds from the offering
received by the Investor (net of any underwriting discounts and selling commissions paid by the
Investor), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by the Investor.
(v) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with
the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and the Investor under this
Section 2(h) shall survive the completion of any offering of Shares in a registration
statement under this Section 2, and otherwise and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
(vi) As used in this Section 2, Damages means any loss, damage, or liability (joint
or several) to which a Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or
other federal or state law, insofar as such loss, damage, or liability (or any action in respect
thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any registration statement of the Company, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) an
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the indemnifying party (or any of its agents or Affiliates) of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law.
(i) Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Investor the
benefits of SEC Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of
the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public
without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by
the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public so long as the Company is
subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
(ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(iii) furnish to the Investor, so long as the Investor owns Shares, forthwith upon request (i)
a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule
144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such
reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold
pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and
(iii) such other information as may be reasonably
8
requested in availing the Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the
selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the
Company so qualifies to use such form).
(j) Assignment of Registration Rights. The Investor may not assign the rights under
this Agreement to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Investor.
(k) Lockup Agreement. In any underwritten registration in which the Investor
participates, the Investor shall execute a reasonable and customary lockup agreement as required
by the underwriters; provided, however, that such agreement is no more restrictive than the form of
agreement required by the underwriters of the other participants in the offering and the directors
and officers of the Company.
(l) Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investor, enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow
such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration filed under
Section 2(b), unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder
may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such
securities will not reduce the number of Shares held by the Investor that are included.
(m) Termination of Registration Rights. The rights set forth in this Article
2 shall terminate on the first date on which all Shares held by the Investor and its Affiliates
may be sold in any ninety (90) day period without registration in compliance with SEC Rule 144.

amount thereby appearing is due from the Borrower to the Bank.
