6.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Biovac’s compliance therewith, MPP will fund Biovac for performing the Funded Project in accordance with the approved budget attached as Annex 6 (“Budget”). The maximum amount hereunder shall not exceed the amount of 286 M ZAR. Subject to Section 10.2, MPP shall have the right to increase or decrease the total amount of the grant in accordance with the needs and the performance of the Funded Project.

6.2 The funds provided under this Agreement are to be spent by Biovac exclusively in accordance with the Budget. Biovac shall have the right to perform Budget revisions on a quarterly basis.

Any request for Budget modification must include sufficient documentation to justify such request. For the avoidance of doubt, no Budget revision or variance of the Budget categories that is permitted under this Section 6.2 shall result in Biovac spending in excess of the total Grant. Any overspending on Budget will be at the cost of Biovac, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties.

(a) the disbursement request from Biovac based on the Project requirements (“Disbursement Request”), plus an estimated rolling advance of one month.
