 ARTICLE H.8. SALARY RATE LIMITATION LEGISLATION PROVISIONS

  

	a.	Pursuant to the P.L.(s) cited in paragraph b., below, no NIH Fiscal Year funds may be used to pay the direct salary of an individual through this contract at a rate in excess of the
applicable amount shown or the applicable Executive Level for the fiscal year covered. Direct salary is exclusive of fringe benefits, overhead and general and administrative expenses (also referred to as “indirect costs” or
“facilities and administrative (F&A) costs”). Direct salary has the same meaning as the term “institutional base salary.” An individual’s direct salary (or institutional base salary) is the annual compensation that the
contractor pays for an individual’s appointment whether that individual’s time is spent on research, teaching, patient care or other activities. Direct salary (or institutional base salary) excludes any income that an individual may be
permitted to earn outside of duties to the contractor. The per year salary rate limitation also applies to individuals proposed under subcontracts. It does not apply to fees paid to consultants. If this is a multiple year contract, it may be subject
to unilateral modifications by the Government if an individual’s salary rate used to establish contract funding exceeds any salary rate limitation subsequently established in future HHS appropriation acts.

 Contract No. HHSN266200600008C 
 ADB No. N01-AI-60008 
 STATEMENT OF WORK 
 DEVELOPMENT OF A FINAL DRUG PRODUCT FOR A MIXTURE OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES FOR 
 TYPE A BOTULINUM NEUROTOXINS 
 RFP NIH-NIAID-DMID-06-38 
 INTRODUCTION: 
 Research conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National
Institute of Health (NIH), strives to understand, treat and ultimately prevent the myriad infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases that threaten millions of human lives. The NIAID Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID)
supports extramural research to control and prevent diseases caused by virtually all infectious agents. This includes basic and applied research to develop and evaluate therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostics, which are funded through a variety of
research grants and contracts. In this context, the NIAID’s mission includes the development of new medical countermeasures against the biological agents that are most likely to be used in a terror attack on civilian populations. These
biological agents have been prioritized as Category A, B, and C. Through this contract NIAID is seeking to advance the development of a mixture of three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as a therapeutic against botulinum neurotoxin serotype A, which is
a Category A threat agent. The three mAbs were discovered by Dr. James Marks at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). The mixture of the three mAbs has demonstrated neutralizing activity for botulinum neurotoxin subtypes A1 and A2
in a small laboratory animal model. The NIAID is currently funding XOMA to manufacture by current Good Manufacturing Process (cGMP) bulk drug substance of the three mAbs. To this end, XOMA negotiated a non-exclusive agreement with UCSF to access the
three mAbs. XOMA recloned the three mAbs into proprietary commercial production cell lines and named the mAbs NX01, NX02 and NX11. Master Cell Banks and Master Working Cell Banks were produced by XOMA and small amounts of each mAb have been produced
for use in development of analytical assays, clone selection, and verification of neutralizing activity in a small animal model. XOMA is developing a manufacturing process for each of the mAbs and will manufacture and deliver at least 7.0 grams of
each as a cGMP bulk drug substance. 
 OVERALL PURPOSE AND SCOPE 
 Through this contract with XOMA the NIAID will support activities to complete the development of NX01, NX02 and NX11 mAbs from three separate cGMP bulk drug substances to three formulated, finished, vialed and labeled as single mAbs final
drug products, and finally to one formulated mixture of the three mAbs finished, vialed and labeled as a final drug product. The final drug product should be suitable for clinical evaluation by sterile intravenous infusion. Using the Master Working
Cell Banks that the Contractor produced under contract N01AI50004, the Contractor shall manufacture additional cGMP mAb bulk drug substance as directed by the NIAID Project Officer to complete the development of the final drug products, and to
perform IND-enabling studies and a Phase 1 clinical trial. The Contractor shall perform viral clearance validations for a minimum of three viruses for the final production process of the mAbs. The Contractor shall formulate, finish, vial, and label
the final drug product as three single mAb formulations and a mixture of the three mAbs. The optimal ratio of the three antibodies in the mixture shall be determined by the Contractor from potency, pharmacokinetic and stability studies. A single
vial of the mixture shall contain an equal or greater number of neutralizing units for botulinum serotype A1, as the licensed equine anti-toxin product, unless otherwise directed through discussions with the FDA. The neutralizing units for botulinum
serotype A2 shall be agreed upon through discussion with the FDA and NIAID Project Officer. The final drug product shall be formulated for maximum stability when stored at -20 C or 4 C, as determined in accelerated stability studies. The Contractor
shall plan and implement a long-term stability program for all of the final drug product and the remaining bulk drug product. 
 The Contractor shall develop
and either qualify or validate (depending on regulatory requirements) assays to support: a) nonclinical and clinical pharmacokinetic studies; b) nonclinical toxicity and safety studies; and c) formulation, lot release, and stability studies. In
addition, the Contractor shall perform nonclinical IND-enabling studies to assess toxicity, safety, and pharmacokinetics. The Contractor shall participate with NIAID in meetings with the FDA and preparation of the IND application. The Contractor
shall be responsible for performing studies and activities in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP: as defined in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations – 21CFR§58) and current Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines (cGMP: as
defined in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations – 21CFR§211), including data management and quality control systems.

in accordance with the applicable “Changes” Clause set forth in this contract. 

  

	(c)	The Contractor shall maintain an accurate record of, and promptly report to the Contracting Officer, all accidents or incidents resulting in the exposure of persons to toxic

action. 

  

	(d)	If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly with the Federal, State or local regulatory/enforcement agency’s directive(s) regarding any violation(s) and prescribed
corrective action(s), the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action (as approved by the Federal, State or local regulatory/enforcement agencies) has been taken and documented to the
Contracting Officer. No part of the time lost due to any stop work order shall be subject to a claim for extension of time or costs or damages by the Contractor.
