Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 27, 2013, Bestewil Holding B.V. ("BH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mymetics Corporation, the registrant, entered into an Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement ("LCA") with RSV Corporation ("RSVC"), under which Astellas Pharma Inc. ("Astellas") through RSVC will pay an up-front non-revocable license fee of $5,000,000 for an exclusive worldwide license for the global development and commercialization of BH's respiratory syncytial virus ("RSV") vaccine.  RSVC is a subsidiary of ClearPath Development Company, a company with which Astellas has announced a strategic partnership to form a portfolio of vaccine development companies with products for immunization against infectious diseases. Astellas’ funding to RSVC will be used to support development of  the RSV virosome vaccine from BH up to a Phase 2b. Astellas received exclusive rights to acquire RSVC as well as further develop and commercialize the vaccine product.

Under the terms of the LCA, BH and RSVC will collaborate to conduct research and development of the RSV vaccine in accordance with a research and development plan ("R&D Plan").  RSVC has agreed to fund and manage the research and development activities set forth in the R&D Plan, including the Phase 1 clinical trial and Phase 2 clinical trial described in the R&D Plan.

Under the LCA, BH shall receive milestone payments of up to $77 million and significant stepped double-digit royalties on net sales of the RSV vaccine worldwide.

The above is a summary of the terms of the LCA and is qualified in its entirety by the LCA that is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
