1 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY/ PROCUREMENT SENSITIVE 92635035_6 Attachment A Statement of Work (Incorporated as of Modification No. 03; changes to Sections 4, 5, and 11 are indicated in bold italics.) For Rapid (WF10) Advanced Research & Development to Large Scale Manufacturing of NVX-CoV-2373 as a Vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus RPP #: 20-11 Project Identifier: MCDC2011-001 Consortium Member: Novavax, Inc. Title of Proposal: Rapid (WF10) Advanced Research & Development to Large Scale Manufacturing of NVX-CoV-2373 as a Vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Requiring Activity: Joint Mission between the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Defense to Combat COVID-19 1.0 INTRODUCTION, SCOPE, AND OBJECTIVES 1.1 Introduction To meet the needs of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the United States Government (USG) is identifying and will support development and at-scale manufacturing of selected vaccine candidates, to ensure timely availability to the US population when needed. This is the primary focus of the mission being executed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of Defense (DoD), in support of Operation Warp Speed (OWS). The USG is interested in pursuing prototype vaccines that are in an advanced stage of development, and will support companies that can, in parallel with nonclinical, clinical and regulatory development, rapidly establish the manufacturing capacity required to meet the USG’s objective of supplying a safe and effective Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine to the entire US population. The USG is tasked with marshaling the efforts of the US biotechnology industry to achieve this goal. 1.2 Definition of the Prototype Project Consistent with USG objectives, the “prototype project” under this agreement is defined as the manufacture and delivery of 100M doses of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, NVX-CoV2373, which is suitable for use in humans under a sufficiently informed deployment strategy, and the advanced positioning of a stockpile of critical long lead raw materials for the Matrix-M adjuvant. As such, the “prototype project” will effectively demonstrate Novavax’s ability to rapidly stand up large scale manufacturing and seamlessly transition into ongoing production. The NVX-CoV-2373 vaccine is comprised of the Matrix-M™ adjuvant, and antigen (SARS-CoV-2 spike protein). The vaccine is filled into a multi-dose vial [***] and is stored at refrigerated temperature (2-8°C). Successful development of the prototype will demonstrate Novavax’s ability to rapidly stand up large scale manufacturing and seamlessly transition into ongoing production capability, in order to rapidly manufacture to meet surge requirements with little advance notification, and demonstrate capability to stockpile and distribute large quantities of the vaccine to respond when needed, including in order to supply use in clinical studies, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), or pursuant to other clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

 

2 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY/ PROCUREMENT SENSITIVE 92635035_6 Successful completion of the prototype will require three coordinated and integrated lines of effort: a) Large scale manufacturing, compliant with 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211, and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCA), to the extent applicable at the time of manufacturing by statute and FDA interpretive guidance thereof. b) Parallel nonclinical and clinical studies required to determine if the vaccine is safe and effective. c) Compliance with all applicable U.S. regulatory requirements. It is important to note that while results of nonclinical and clinical studies are critical to develop use case scenarios and, in turn, inform the USG’s deployment strategy as it relates to product manufactured under this agreement, successful development of the prototype is dependent only on the validity of data from these studies. The degree to which the data are “positive” or “negative” is not a factor in demonstration of the prototype. 1.3 Follow-on Activity This prototype project includes unpriced options for follow-on production/procurement. During the performance of the prototype, the USG and Novavax will negotiate the scope and price of production/procurement. If the prototype project is successful, the USG may then enter into follow-on production/procurement by executing these options through a separate stand-alone production/procurement agreement, to be negotiated in terms of scope and price as described in the following paragraph. In accordance with 10.U.S.C. 2371b(f), and upon demonstration of the prototype, or at the accomplishment of particularly favorable or unexpected results that would justify transitioning to production/procurement, EUA, or Biologics License Application (BLA) approved by the FDA, the USG and Novavax may enter into a non-competitive production/procurement follow-on agreement or contract for additional production/procurement, to partially or completely meet the USG objective of supplying a safe and effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccine to vaccinate up to 300M people in the targeted population (≈560M additional doses). 1.4 Scope Novavax has defined a scope of activities in order to successfully develop the prototype, as defined above. The scope is based on the following assumptions regarding manufacturing and clinical dose: o Manufacturing Assumptions and Clinical Dose  The NVX-CoV-2373 vaccine is comprised of the Matrix-M™ adjuvant, and antigen (SARS-CoV-2 spike protein).  A dose range of 5-25 µg of antigen is under clinical study. The anticipated dose based on clinical data obtained to date is [***]µg of antigen with [***]µg of Matrix-M adjuvant.  For planning purposes, the [***] ([***]µg antigen/dose) has been used and the calculations in this scope of work have been based on this dose.  The antigen production is the rate-limiting step in vaccine production. The Matrix-M adjuvant will be available prior to antigen production. Dose production has been calculated

 

3 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY/ PROCUREMENT SENSITIVE 92635035_6 based on the availability of antigen. Novavax is planning on a batch-by-batch rapid fill/finish once antigen is manufactured and available.  The estimated production schedule based on the [***]µg antigen/dose (base case) and [***] µg antigen/dose (anticipated case) is in the table below: Estimated Schedule of Cumulative Doses Manufactured by Month Dosage Oct 2020 Nov 2020 Dec 2020 Jan 2021 Feb 2021 [***] µg/dose (base case) [***] [***] [***] [***] [***]** [***]µg/dose (anticipated case) [***] [***] 100,000,000* *Actual cumulative projected production at [***] µg/dose is [***] in December 2020. Some doses may be in progress at the end of December 2020. **Actual cumulative projected production at [***] µg/dose is [***] in February 2021. The scope includes the following activities: o Manufacturing  Manufacturing of 100M doses (at [***]µg/dose, ~[***]) of NVX-CoV-2373 vaccine in 2020 for distribution to the Government upon EUA under section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act or a biologics licensure granted under Section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act by the U.S. FDA.  Establishment of large-scale current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) manufacturing capacity compliant with 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211, and the DSCA to the extent applicable at the time of manufacturing by statute and FDA interpretive guidance thereof.  Comparability among clinical vaccine lots and commercial lots using a comparability protocol linked to the product associated with the Phase 1 clinical study. For adjuvant components, the same raw material lot(s) will be used for the current and new Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) processes for the comparability protocol, and the same test lab will be used to ensure only process differences are being evaluated.  Validation of manufacturing processes will be performed to cGMP standards. o Clinical  Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial harmonized with USG clinical strategies.  A Phase 3 clinical trial in pediatric populations (<18 years).  Phase 2 studies in at-risk subpopulations (co-morbidities, [***], immunocompromised), as well as studies to support manufacturing site comparability.

 

4 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY/ PROCUREMENT SENSITIVE 92635035_6 o Non-clinical  Studies to support EUA and regulatory approval (BLA). o Regulatory  EUA submission when data supports it, while maintaining progress toward eventual BLA submission.  BLA submission when appropriate.  Regulatory support activities (Investigational New Drug (IND) submissions) for manufacturing, clinical, non-clinical studies.  Meetings as-needed with regulators. o Project Management  Mandatory reporting requirements, as described in the Base Agreement.  Submission of Monthly Progress Reports. Format will be agreed on by the contractor and Agreements Officer’s Representative (AOR), and will include both technical and financial status and expenditure forecast.  Facilitation of biweekly teleconferences with Novavax and USG Subject Matter Experts.  Final prototype project report and applicable patents report(s).  Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS).  All Regulatory correspondence relevant to the scope of work proposed, including communications with the FDA, and all submissions. 1.4.1 Novavax Project Plan This is Novavax’s plan as of the date of the submission. Novavax desires to move quickly to large scale development as rapidly as possible, in order to meet the objectives of this proposal. As the COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation, Novavax may need to adapt its plan in response to FDA guidance, opportunities for manufacturing efficiencies, and clinical trial data. 1.5 Resolution of Conflicting Language If there is a conflict between the Project Agreement (of which this Statement of Work is part) and the Base Agreement (Medical CBRN Consortium (MCDC) Base Agreement No.: 2020-530), the Project Agreement language will supersede and control the relationship of the parties. 2.0 APPLICABLE REFERENCES N/A 3.0 REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Major Task: cGMP Manufacturing of NVX-CoV-2373 compliant with 21 CFR 210 and 211
