Title of Proposal: Large-Scale Manufacturing of Antibodies Directed to SARS-CoV-2
Date Updated: November 10, 2020 
1.0    INTRODUCTION, SCOPE, AND OBJECTIVES
A. Preamble
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (referred to herein as “Regeneron”, “Offeror”, “Contractor” or “Recipient”) has demonstrated experience with rapid scale-up of biopharmaceutical programs.  Our excellent history of receiving development scale processes from Research and Development (R&D) laboratories, and then expanding to clinical or commercial Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) scale production, is well documented. Greater than 65 processes have been transferred since 2008 with a success rate of 100%. We have consistently demonstrated our ability to expedite the delivery of high quality, safe and efficacious products (Ebola therapeutic) in partnership with the Government (anti-MERS, anti-Ebola).
Fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are molecules with high potency, predictable Pharmacokinetics (PK), and limited off-target toxicity, and thus provide attractive types of therapeutics for emerging diseases. Importantly, we have repeatedly demonstrated that candidate mAb-based drugs to prevent and/or treat emerging infections, can be rapidly obtained from Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® mice. Further, our ability to concurrently generate isogenic cell lines that are optimized for rapid antibody scale up and manufacturing using our proprietary Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) platform technologies, have facilitated both testing of our mAbs in preclinical models and subsequent development of these mAbs into drugs suitable for human testing. In the process of completing many of these activities we have collaborated with other entities (including BARDA, Research Institutes, Government Laboratories and Universities). Our manufacturing has been designed to be paired with our proprietary VelocImmune® R&D technology, that is a proven process to rapidly take a research concept from the bench, into large scale production, with the ability to deliver medicines to patients.
The Government has advised Regeneron that it is appropriate for the project described in this Project Agreement to be performed through the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC), under the authority of the MCDC Other Transaction Agreement No. W15QKN-16-9-1002.  Regeneron is amenable to performing the project pursuant to such authority, based on the advice of the Government, and due to the unprecedented circumstances of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and, accordingly, the parties have entered into this Project Agreement.

B. Overall Objectives and Scope
This project is defined by discrete work segments for the continuous manufacture of drug substance, formulated drug substance and filled, packaged and labeled drug product, in accordance with a mutually agreed schedule.
Pursuant to this project, Regeneron will manufacture and sell drug product to the applicable United States (U.S.) Federal Government agency, for distribution in the U.S. 
In addition, Regeneron, as a service to the Government, will engage one or more third party service providers (each a “Distributor”) to perform storage and distribution activities for such drug product for the Government in the United States, at the direction of the Government. The Government will be solely responsible to determine the allocation of product to end users and to communicate such allocation determinations to the Distributor. The Government agrees that Regeneron will not be involved in or responsible for any such determinations. 
Regeneron may conduct such activities itself or through one or more of its affiliates, including Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc. References to “Regeneron” will be deemed to include such affiliates. All manufacturing described herein will be compliant with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), as 21 CFR 210 and 211. 
1.1    Introduction
The objective is to conduct the manufacturing production activities described in this proposal for prototypes consisting of novel, proprietary mAb therapeutics and prophylactics, to reduce pathology of COVID-19 disease and/or prevent development of disease when administered prophylactically. In addition, Regeneron will engage the Distributor to perform storage and distribution of the product for the Government in the United States, at the Government’s direction and control.
1.2    Scope
These manufacturing production activities will include manufacturing at-scale, filling and finishing, and storage and shipping of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific monoclonal antibodies (referred to herein as the “prototype”, the “prototype product”, the “product” or “drug product”) for treatment and/or prophylaxis against COVID-19. 
1.3    Definition of the Prototype Project
Consistent with USG objectives, Regeneron will employ its proprietary manufacturing technology and processes, in a manner compliant with applicable laws and regulations, including 21 CFR 210 and 211 and, to the extent applicable, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, to manufacture the prototype product. This effort constitutes a prototype project because it will be used to evaluate the technical feasibility of manufacturing the prototype product during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.  In addition, this is a prototype project because Regeneron will demonstrate, and prove-out the at-scale, multi-lot proprietary manufacturing activities of Regeneron in order to assess the feasibility of these activities to support the necessary quantity of the prototype product to treat the U.S. population.  Successful completion of the prototype project will demonstrate Regeneron’s capability to (i) rapidly manufacture product, which can be further scaled-up to meet mutually agreed to surge requirements with little advance notification and (ii) facilitate the Government’s ability to stockpile and distribute large quantities of the drug

product to respond when needed, including for use in clinical studies, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), or pursuant to other approval from the U.S. FDA. For clarity, any manufacturing and supply of drug product in excess of the specific quantities set forth in Section 4.0 of this Statement of Work, shall be subject to a separate mutual agreement between Regeneron and the Government. 
The scope of effort supported by this agreement is further clarified in Section 1.4.  It is important to note that nonclinical and clinical studies for the prototype are being conducted by Regeneron outside of this agreement. The results of those studies may be used to develop use case scenarios and, in turn, inform the USG’s deployment strategy as it relates to product manufactured under this agreement; however, such results (including the degree to which the data are “positive” or “negative”) shall not be a factor in this prototype project. It is also important to note that the distribution and storage services performed for the Government by the Distributor engaged by Regeneron, are not part of the prototype project. 
1.4    Objective
•Conduct its proprietary manufacturing production activities described in this proposal for prototypes consisting of novel, proprietary mAb therapeutics and prophylactics, to reduce pathology of COVID-19 disease and/or prevent development of disease when administered prophylactically.
•The prototypes will include one or more of the following, as mutually agreed between Offeror and the Government:
othe mAbs known as REGN10987 and REGN10933, as a cocktail;
oOther mAbs (as monotherapies or a cocktail) as agreed to by bilateral modification between Offeror and the Government.
•The deliverables will be the products listed above (i.e., REGN10987 and REGN10933), in the form of bulk formulated drug substance and/or filled and finished product in vials, as mutually agreed between Offeror and the Government, packaged and labeled drug product, results, reports and records associated with generation of data demonstrating quality and control. Other deliverables will include product storage and support for the Government’s distribution activities in the United States to be provided at the Government’s direction.
•The products will be delivered in the form and quantity to be agreed between Offeror and the Government.  It is expected that the prototypes will be stored by Offeror until such time as (a) they can be used for pre-clinical or clinical development purposes under an Investigational New Drug application (IND), or (b) upon the FDA’s grant of an EUA under Section 564 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), or full marketing approval under a full Biologics License Application (BLA) under Section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA). In the event the FDA grants an EUA, the product will be distributed by the Distributor pursuant to direction from the Government (i.e., the Government will direct the Distributor where the product is to be distributed and in what quantities, and Regeneron will not be responsible for, or involved in, such direction).
1.5    Follow-on Activity

In accordance with 10.U.S.C. 2371b(f), and upon successful demonstration of the prototype, or at the accomplishment of particularly favorable or unexpected results achieved outside of this Agreement that would justify transitioning to production (e.g., EUA or BLA), additional at-scale manufacturing of up to 800,000 treatment courses, supported by a mutually agreed upon follow-on production contract or Other Transaction Agreement, may be awarded to Regeneron, without further competition, to partially or completely meet the USG objective of supplying a safe and effective COVID-19 therapeutic or prophylactic treatment courses to ensure nationwide access. For clarity, any manufacturing and supply of drug product in excess of the specific quantities set forth in Section 4.0 of this Statement of Work shall be subject to a mutually-agreed upon separate agreement between Regeneron and the Government. For further clarity, neither party shall be obligated to negotiate or enter into such a separate agreement for follow-on production. 
During the performance of the prototype project, the Government and contractor may negotiate the scope and price of follow-on production.

3.0    REQUIREMENTS
3.1    Technical 
•The Offeror’s technical approach is expected to be similar, but not duplicative, to its manufacturing activities under its current agreements with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), including contract # HHSO100201700016C, and will include the following: 
•Drug Substance, Formulated Drug Substance, Drug Product (DS/FDS/DP) quality and control.
•Regeneron will apply statistical process analysis to continuously qualify in-process controls and release parameters.
•The manufacturing process will be evaluated against parameters that are correlated to process performance and product quality. Ranges for the performance of each unit operation will be established through process development recommended ranges, the generation of statistical limits based on small-scale studies, and/or continuous commercial-scale manufacturing experience. These ranges will be monitored during the execution of quality and control, and are designed to ensure that the process is in a state of control and to ensure that the manufacturing process operates in a consistent and reproducible manner.  The quality and control runs will also confirm that the process and product impurity profiles are within limits, demonstrate the consistent removal of impurities, and demonstrate that the process is capable of operating within acceptable microbiological control limits. Additional sampling and testing beyond that needed to assess process performance, may be completed to further process understanding.

•Intermediate Hold Time Validation: Intermediate hold time validation to be performed via combination of at scale and small scale executions:
•Microbial Control: Where appropriate, microbial control data from at scale hold time studies, will be leveraged from historical validation runs with molecules which have similar equipment and sanitization procedures. 
•Chemical Stability: Chemical stability will be demonstrated using data from laboratory scale hold time studies performed for each of the prototypes, using material obtained from in-process pools from the 10,000 L manufacturing executions.
•Media, Feed and Buffer Mixing Validation: Preparation of buffers and media will be validated at commercial-scale. These validation studies will demonstrate that the preparation process consistently produces solutions meeting predefined limits for parameters indicative of homogeneity, such as pH, conductivity, osmolality, and turbidity. Where vessels of equivalent design and construction exist within the manufacturing facility, validation of media and buffer preparation will be performed on one representative vessel on at least three consecutive and successful executions. 
•Medium Storage Validation: Medium storage validation will be separated into preparation hold and post-filtration storage, and has two components: microbial control and chemical stability. Pre-filtration microbial control is specific to the raw materials and the environment, and post-filtration microbial control is specific to each storage container and the ability of the storage container to maintain a microbial free condition. Maximum storage times for medium solutions with respect to microbial control will be validated as necessary at commercial scale, through preparation and storage of medium for extended storage times pre- and post-filtration. Validation will be achieved by demonstrating microbial control for a number of consecutive attempts established in the relevant validation protocol. Solutions will be prepared, stored for defined periods and tested for bioburden and endotoxin. Chemical stability of medium may be performed at small-scale to demonstrate storage conditions maintain integrity of chemical components. Bracketing approaches may be used to cover the different feeds and medium used, provided the individual protocol justifies the bracket. 
•Buffer Storage Validation: Buffer storage validation is separated into preparation hold and post-filtration storage, and has two components: microbial control and chemical stability. Preparation holds are dependent on the solution composition. The worst- case solution for growth is determined using a risk-based approach, and post-filtration microbial control is specific to each vessel and the ability of a vessel to maintain a microbial free condition. Maximum storage times for buffer solutions will be validated as necessary at commercial-scale for microbial control, through preparation and storage of a non-growth inhibiting buffer for extended storage times pre- and post-filtration. Validation will be achieved by demonstrating microbial control for a number of consecutive attempts established by the protocol. Buffer hold validation in stainless steel vessels will require ongoing evaluation and monitoring; however, buffer hold validation in disposable bioprocess containers may be shortened, if appropriate, by a bracketing approach. Solutions will be prepared, held and monitored over time for bioburden, endotoxin. Chemical stability of buffers may be performed at small-scale to

demonstrate that storage conditions maintain integrity of chemical components. Bracketing approaches may be used to cover the large number of buffers used, provided the individual protocol justifies the bracket. 
•Chromatography Column Sanitization and Storage Validation: Any newly required studies will be performed to validate the cleaning and storage procedures for [* * *] chromatography columns used in the manufacture of the prototypes. In addition, the maximum allowable storage period following cleaning will be established for each of the chromatography resins. 
•Chromatography Column Cleaning Validation: The efficacy of the solutions used to clean the chromatography columns will be examined as necessary over three consecutive executions during commercial scale manufacturing of each of the prototypes. The effectiveness of the cleaning procedures will be assessed by sampling the post cleaning (post-use) Water for Injection (WFI) flush effluent; at approximately [* * *] into the flush for bioburden and endotoxin levels (the purpose of which is to demonstrate microbial control). In addition, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) will be measured to verify the absence of lot to lot protein carry over.
•Chromatography Column Storage Validation: The efficacy of the solutions used to store the chromatography columns will be examined, as necessary, over three consecutive executions during commercial scale manufacturing of each of the prototypes. The effectiveness of the cleaning and storage procedures will be assessed by sampling the post storage (pre-use) WFI flush effluent for bioburden, endotoxin levels and TOC. The maximum allowable storage period for each column will be established based on the shortest of the three consecutive executions for which the column remained in the storage solution.
•Establishment of In-Process Control (IPC) Program: The IPC program will utilize Statistical Process Control (SPC) to monitor critical and general process parameters, and critical and general quality attributes for each lot manufactured. On completion of quality and control activities, the IPC development report will establish the set of parameters and attributes to be monitored, and justify appropriate action limits for each. Upon approval of the development report, a Process Performance Monitoring (PPM) Plan will be generated containing the list of IPCs, historical data, selection of monitoring tools and response to signal strategy, statistical summary, and visualization of the IPCs. The IPC development report and PPM Plan will be further updated as laboratory and production scale characterization and validation data is gained, once defined production milestones are achieved, and then annually afterward. The annual updates will assess the overall state of process control and include process capability analysis and assessment of evidence of special cause variation for all applicable IPCs. Process data for individual lots will be monitored through [* * *] PPM meetings, where any trend signals are identified and responded to. These meetings will be attended by subject matter experts from departments including, but not limited to, [* * *].

oDS/FDS/DP Registration Stability: Stability studies for DS/FDS/DP will be initiated and executed according to stability protocols, International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines and internal procedures. Quality and control lots will be stored and monitored at the routine long term storage condition per the Specification for [* * *]. Samples will also be stored and monitored at Accelerated [* * *] condition for [* * *], and Stress [* * *] condition for [* * *] for the evaluation and identification of degradation pathways of the molecule. Stability studies performed on the quality and control lots will support the shelf life of each prototype, and confirm that the manufacturing process is suitable for commercial-scale manufacture. All testing will be conducted in a GMP Quality Control (QC) Laboratory. Any Out of Specification (OOS) or Out of Trend (OOT) results will be investigated.
oDS/FDS/DP Shipping Validation: Shipping Validation by actual transport will be performed on the DS/FDS/DP of each prototype to cover a distance and duration that will exceed routine shipment to the intended fill site. Successful shipping validation of intended shipping lanes is based on the ability of the container to maintain the product at a specified temperature, to preserve product quality, and meet specifications.
oDS/FDS/DP Photostability Studies: To determine overall photosensitivity of DS/FDS/DP per ICH requirements, a study will be performed at [* * *] under [* * *] and [* * *] light. Samples will be oriented for maximum light exposure using container closures designed for direct exposure, immediate pack/marketing pack, and a foil covered control. Testing will then be performed on [* * *] sample sets for stability indicating attributes.
oQC Reference Standard Production and Stability: Reference standards for the individual DS/FDS/DP GMP lots will be generated according to internal standard operating procedures. The DS/FDS/DP for each prototype will be filled as a product reference standard. The first manufactured lot (lead lot) will be sub-aliquoted into single use vials, stored and routinely monitored at [* * *] by Offeror’s Quality Control personnel. The reference standard will be qualified prior to use, according to specifications. A Certificate of Qualification (CofQ) will be issued for each individual reference standard at the time of initial qualification and following recertification testing. A stability study to monitor the critical quality attributes of each reference standard will also be conducted.
oAssay Validation: Will be performed as necessary to support any applicable EUA or other regulatory requirements.
oManufacturing: Following the completion of the activities described above, Offeror will manufacture prototypes at scale in order to achieve the intended scope of the contract.
oLabel/Pack: Labeling and packaging of investigational product for clinical studies or for use under an EUA or approval, will be completed at a GMP contract manufacturing organization managed by Offeror’s External Manufacturing group.
oStorage and Distribution: Packaged and labeled material storage will be managed by Offeror’s External Manufacturing group and, if an EUA is granted, the Distributor will store and distribute the product in the U.S. at the direction of the Government

a.    Allocation of Principal Rights  
CONFIDENTIAL/PROPRIETARY



Page 17 of 24
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
May 6, 2021



The parties agree that the Bayh-Dole statute does not apply to this Project Agreement. Ownership of inventions Made in the performance of this Project Agreement shall follow inventorship, and inventorship shall be determined in accordance with United States patent laws. With respect to any Subject Invention Made (in whole or in part) by or on behalf of Regeneron, unless Regeneron shall have notified the Government (in accordance with Subparagraph b. below) that Regeneron does not intend to properly disclose and elect title to a Subject Invention, Regeneron shall retain the entire right, title, and interest throughout the world to such Subject Invention, and the Government shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced on behalf of the United States the Subject Invention throughout the world.  This license does not include the right to use or allow others to use the Subject Invention for commercial purposes. If Regeneron does not properly disclose and elect title to any such Subject Invention (in accordance with Subparagraph b. below), then the Government may exercise its rights to seek ownership of such Subject Invention, pursuant to clause 7.2.c. below.
b.    Invention Disclosure, Election of Title, and Filing of Patent Application
i.    Regeneron shall disclose in writing each Subject Invention to the OTTR within 12 months after the inventor discloses it in writing to Regeneron personnel responsible for patent matters. The disclosure shall identify the inventor(s) and this Project Agreement under which the Subject Invention was made. It shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear understanding of the Subject Invention. The disclosure shall also identify any publication, on sale (i.e., sale or offer for sale), or public use of the Subject Invention, or whether a manuscript describing the Subject Invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication. In addition, after disclosure to the Government funding agency (HHS/BARDA), Regeneron shall promptly notify the OTTR of the acceptance of any manuscript describing the Subject Invention for publication and any on sale or public use. 
ii.    Regeneron shall elect in writing whether or not to retain ownership of any Subject Invention by notifying the OTTR within 2 years of disclosure to the Government funding agency. However, in any case where publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, the period for election of title may be shortened by the agency to a date that is no more than 60 calendar days prior to the end of the statutory period.
iii.    Regeneron shall file either a provisional or a non-provisional patent application for an elected Subject Invention within 1 year after election of title. However, in any case where a publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, Regeneron shall file the application prior to the end of that statutory period. If Regeneron files an initial provisional application, it shall file a non-provisional application within 10 months of the filing of the initial provisional application.  Regeneron shall include a Government Support Clause (GSC) within the specification of any United States patent applications and any patent issuing thereon covering a subject invention.
iv.    Regeneron may request extensions of time for disclosure, election, or filing under subparagraphs (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of this clause. An extension of 
CONFIDENTIAL/PROPRIETARY

time for each deadline, may be granted at the discretion of the Government funding agency.  
v.    If Regeneron determines that it does not intend to elect to retain title to any such Subject Invention, Regeneron shall notify the Government, in writing, within two (2) years of disclosure to the Government.  However, in any case where publication, sale, or public use has initiated the one (1)-year statutory period wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States, the period for such notice may be shortened by the Government to a date that is no more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the end of the statutory period.
c.    Conditions When the Government May Obtain Title
Upon the Government’s written request, Regeneron shall convey title to any Subject Invention to the Government funding agency if Regeneron fails to disclose the Subject Invention or elects not to retain title to the Subject Invention within the times specified in Subparagraph b of Section 7.2.  The Government may request title after learning of the failure of Regeneron to disclose or elect within the specified times for an unlimited time.  The Government funding agency may request title upon Regeneron’s omission to timely file patent applications in any country.  The Government funding agency may request title in any country in which Regeneron decides to discontinue prosecution. 
d.    Rights to Regeneron and Protection of Regeneron’s Right to File 
Regeneron shall retain a fully paid up, sub-licensable, nonexclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world in each Subject Invention to which the Government obtains title.  Regeneron license extends to Regeneron’s subsidiaries and other affiliates (outside this Agreement), if any, within the corporate structure of which Regeneron is a party and includes the right to grant licenses of the same scope to the extent that Regeneron was legally obligated or permitted to do so at the time the Project Agreement was executed.  The license is otherwise transferable only with the approval of the Government, except when transferred to an Affiliate or successor of that part of Regeneron’s business to which the Subject Invention pertains.  The Government approval for license transfer shall be provided on a timely basis (and in no event later than 90 calendar days following Regeneron’s request) and shall not be unreasonably withheld.
i.    The Regeneron license may be revoked or modified by the Government to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious Practical Application of the Subject Invention pursuant to an application for an exclusive or nonexclusive license submitted consistent with appropriate provisions at 37 CFR Part 404.  Regeneron’s license shall not be revoked in that field of use or the geographical areas in which Regeneron has achieved Practical Application of the Subject Invention and continues to make the benefits of the Subject Invention accessible to the public.
ii.    Before revocation or modification of Regeneron’s license, the Government shall furnish Regeneron with a written notice of its intention to revoke or modify the license, which notice shall include a detailed explanation of the reasons for such revocation or modification, and Regeneron shall be allowed thirty (30) calendar days (or such other time as may be authorized for good cause shown) after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or modified.

Regeneron shall use reasonable efforts to instruct employees, through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs, on the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to permit the filing of patent applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars.
ii.    Regeneron shall notify the Government of any decisions not to continue the prosecution of a patent application for a Subject Invention, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceedings on a patent of a Subject Invention, in any country, not less than thirty (30) calendar days before the expiration of the response period required by the relevant patent office.
Regeneron shall include, within the specification of any United States patent application and any patent issuing thereon covering a Subject Invention, the following statement:  “This invention was made with Government support under Agreement MCDC2020-504, awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.  The Government has certain rights in the invention.”
f.    Lower Tier Agreements
Regeneron shall ensure that its Affiliate agreements and Sub-Recipient Agreements regardless of tier, for experimental, developmental, or research work entered into after the Effective Date and submitted for reimbursement under this Agreement, contain invention reporting and assignment requirements sufficient to permit Regeneron to comply with this Section 7.2.  
g.    Reporting on Utilization of Subject Inventions
i.    Regeneron agrees to submit, during the term of this Project Agreement, an annual report on the utilization of a Subject Invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that is being made by Regeneron or its licensees or assignees.

disclose such information to persons outside the Government without permission of Regeneron.
ii.    All required reports shall be submitted to the e-room, OTAS, OTAO, and OTTR.
h.    Compulsory Licensing Rights
Regeneron agrees that, with respect to any Subject Invention in which it has retained title, the Government has the right to require Regeneron, an assignee, or exclusive licensee of a Subject Invention to grant a non-exclusive license to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if Regeneron, assignee, or exclusive licensee refuses such a request, the Government has the right to grant such a license within the Field itself only if the Government determines that:
i.    Action is necessary to alleviate the following health or safety needs that may affect the United States and Regeneron (itself or through its assignee, subcontractor or licensee) is unwilling or unable to manufacture or supply the Subject Invention to address such needs: 
a.    Declaration for Public Health Emergency by the Secretary of HHS;

Nothing in this paragraph reduces the Government’s data rights as articulated in other provisions of this award.
c. Clause 7.4.b. will survive the acquisition or merger of the Contractor by or with a third party.   This clause will survive the expiration of this contract.
7.5 PREP Act Coverage. It is the intent of the Parties that the drug product provided pursuant to this Agreement be covered by the March 10, 2020 declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act), 42 U.S.C. § 247d-6d, 85 Fed Reg. 15,198 (March 17, 2020), or any amendments thereto that provides liability protection for such use.  Based on an independent review by each of the Parties of the PREP Act Declaration issued by DHHS on March 10, 2020, pursuant to section 319F-3 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d-6d), and a related advisory opinion issued by the DHHS Office of General Counsel on April 14, 2020, the Parties believe that Regeneron is a covered person eligible for immunity under the PREP Act for activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID-19. To the extent DoD or BARDA is authorized to do so as an Authority Having Jurisdiction, the Government designates Regeneron as a covered person eligible for immunity under the PREP Act Declaration issued by DHHS on March 10, 2020, pursuant to section 319F-3 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d-6d), for activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID-19.  The Government further warrants that, except as set forth in Section 7.6, the drug product provided pursuant to this Project Agreement will not be (a) sold to any entity nor will it be returned after acceptance under the terms of this contract or (b) distributed or used, or authorized for distribution or use, outside the United States or to the extent such activities are not protected from liability under an active PREP Act declaration.
7.6 Donation of Excess Product
A. In the event the Government determines that doses of REGN10987 and REGN10933 (casirivimab and imdevimab) funded under the agreement are no longer needed by the Government, the Government may donate remaining doses to any foreign government to the extent mutually agreed to by the Government and Contractor; provided that: 
(x) the Contractor secures any necessary approvals that are contractually required under existing licensing agreements for REGN10987 and REGN10933 (casirivimab and imdevimab);
(y) the foreign nation has an active commercial marketing approval or active regulatory authorization in place for use of REGN10987 and REGN10933 (casirivimab and imdevimab) combined (and not individually) at the time of donation; and
(z) the Contractor has the option to establish an indemnification agreement with the applicable recipient foreign government.
B. The Government shall notify the Contractor in writing prior to any planned donation to a foreign nation. The Contractor (itself or through its collaborators) agrees to work with the Government in good faith with respect to applicable regulatory submissions, import/export 
CONFIDENTIAL/PROPRIETARY



Page 23 of 24

permits, and other  reasonable requirements for donation to the extent that donation is authorized under paragraph A above. For clarity, the Contractor’s obligations under this paragraph shall not include any requirement to grant licenses to intellectual property or to provide sensitive manufacturing information to any such foreign government nor any obligation to ship product outside the United States.
C. The Government will be responsible for shipment of REGN10987 and REGN10933 (casirivimab and imdevimab) to the receiving foreign nation in accordance with applicable shipping specifications, and the Contractor’s obligations regarding distribution and risk of loss in Section 6.0 shall not apply.
D. The parties acknowledge that PREP Act coverage may not apply to the provision of any doses under this Section 7.6 to a foreign nation. The USG makes no representations as to PREP Act coverage thereto. Any immunity or indemnity arrangements in a foreign jurisdiction are the responsibility of the Contractor. 
E. The Government agrees that the Contractor’s collaborators may perform the Contractor’s activities described in this Section 7.6 and that the Government shall cooperate with any such collaborators.
7.7 Transparency. To the extent permitted under applicable laws, the Government will provide Regeneron in a timely manner copies of reports concerning this Project Agreement that are provided to other Government agencies or legislative or executive branches of the government.
