FORM OF RETENTION AGREEMENT

 EXHIBIT 10.37 
 RETENTION AGREEMENT 
 THIS RETENTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of the
     day of             , 2008, is made and entered into by and between Blackbaud, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                    , an individual residing in
                     County, South Carolina (“Employee”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Company presently employs Employee as its
                    ; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to set forth consideration to be paid to Employee in the event that Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated without “Cause” by the Company or for “Good Reason”
by Employee following a “Change in Control” of the Company, all as defined herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing, the mutual promises herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, including the continued employment of Employee by the Company and the compensation received by Employee from the Company from time to time, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. For
the purposes of the Agreement, the following terms shall be defined as set out below: 
 a. “Effective Date.” For the
purposes of this Agreement, the “Effective Date” shall mean the date first written hereinabove. 
 b. “Change In
Control.” For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the consummation of (i) a merger or consolidation in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to
the merger or consolidation cease to own at least 50% of the combined entity immediately following the merger or consolidation; (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the acquisition by any individual,
entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Company, if, after such acquisition, such individual, entity or
group owns more than 50% of either (A) the then-outstanding common stock of the Company or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors; or (iv) the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 c. “Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall
mean: 
 i. Employee’s conviction of, or plea of no contest to, any crime (whether or not involving the Company) that constitutes a
felony in the jurisdiction in which 

 
Employee is charged, other than unintentional motor vehicle felonies, routine traffic citations or a felony predicated exclusively on Employee’s
Vicarious Liability. “Vicarious Liability” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean any act for which Employee is constructively liable, including, but not limited to, any liability that is based on acts of the Company for which Employee
is charged solely as a result of his or her offices with the Company and in which he or she was not directly involved or did not have prior knowledge of such actions or intended actions; 
 ii. Any act of theft, fraud or embezzlement, or any other willful misconduct or willfully dishonest behavior by Employee; 
 iii. Employee’s failure or refusal to perform his or her reasonably-assigned duties (consistent with past practice of the Company and other than due
to a Disability), provided that such failure or refusal is not corrected as promptly as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after Employee shall have received written notice from the Company stating the nature of such
failure or refusal; and/or 
 iv. Employee’s willful violation of any of his or her obligations contained in that certain Blackbaud
Employment Agreement between Employee and the Company and attached as Exhibit A hereto, which violation is of a character that is likely to materially injure the Company, as determined by the Company in good faith. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, no act or omission by Employee shall be considered “willful” if reasonably believed by Employee to be in, or not
contrary to, the best interests of the Company. 
 d. “Good Reason.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Good
Reason” shall mean: 
 i. Any materially adverse change or diminution in the office, title, duties, powers, authority or
responsibilities of Employee, provided such change or diminution continues uncorrected for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the Company shall have received written notice from Employee stating the nature of such change or diminution;

 ii. A reduction in Employee’s then Base Salary or target Bonus Compensation or a material reduction of any material employee benefit
or perquisite enjoyed by him or her (other than as consented to by Employee); 
 iii. Failure of the Company to obtain the assumption in
writing of its obligation to perform this Agreement by any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company within thirty (30) calendar days after a sale or transfer of such assets; and/or 

 iv. A relocation of the Employee’s own office location as assigned to him or her by the Company, to
a location more than forty (40) miles from his or her existing office location, or a materially adverse change, without Employee’s consent, in the business travel requirements of Employee’s position. 
 e. “Disability.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean Employee’s inability due to a physical or mental
impairment to perform the essential functions of his or her job, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least ninety (90) consecutive or non-consecutive days in any twelve (12) month period. 
 f. “Term.” For purposes of this Agreement, the “Term” of this Agreement shall mean an initial period of three (3) years
following the Effective Date, plus successive one (1) year renewal periods thereafter so long as the Company does not provide Employee with written notice of its intention not to renew this Agreement at least ninety (90) days prior to the
expiration of the initial three (3) year period or any additional one (1) year renewal period. 
 g. “Termination
Date.” For the purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean the effective date of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company. 
 h. “Termination Compensation.” For the purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Compensation” shall have the meaning
ascribed to it in Section 2(a) of this Agreement. 
 i. “Effective Release.” An “Effective Release” is defined
as a general release of claims in favor of the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company’s counsel that is executed by Employee after the Termination Date and within any consideration period required by applicable law and that is
not revoked by Employee within any legally-prescribed revocation period. 
 2. Compensation upon Termination. Upon termination of employment by
either party for any reason whatsoever, Employee shall be entitled to continue to receive his/her base salary, minus applicable withholdings required by law or authorized by Employee, and any accrued, unpaid and appropriately documented business
expenses through the Termination Date. In addition, during the Term of this Agreement, upon termination of Employee’s employment within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, either (i) by the Company without Cause, or
(ii) by Employee for Good Reason, and conditioned upon Employee’s execution of an Effective Release, Employee shall be entitled to, in lieu of any other severance benefit: 
 a. Payment of an amount equal to
                     times his/her base salary at the rate in effect on the Termination Date, minus applicable withholdings required by law or
authorized by Employee (the “Termination Compensation”); 

 b. Conditioned on Employee’s proper and timely election to continue his/her health insurance
benefits under COBRA after the Termination Date, reimbursement of Employee’s applicable COBRA premiums for the lesser of: (i)              months following the Termination
Date; or (ii) until Employee becomes eligible for insurance benefits from another employer; 
 c.      percent
(    %) of all then outstanding and unvested stock options and other equity awards held by Employee shall become vested and immediately and fully exercisable, notwithstanding any provision in any award agreement.

 Upon termination of employment for (i) death, (ii) Disability, (iii) Cause by the Company, (iv) without Good Reason by
Employee, or (v) following the Term of this Agreement, Employee shall not be entitled to additional compensation under this Agreement beyond that accrued as of the Termination Date. 
 3. Section 409A. If the Termination Compensation or other benefit provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, no payments of any of such benefit shall
made for six (6) months plus one (1) day after the Termination Date (the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any such payments that would have otherwise been paid during the period between the Termination Date and the New
Payment Date shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum on the New Payment Date. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the interpretation of Section 409A and its application to the terms of this Agreement are uncertain and may be
subject to change as additional guidance becomes available, and that all benefits or payments provided by the Company to Employee pursuant to this Agreement that would be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the
meaning of Section 409A are intended to comply with Section 409A. If, however, any such benefit or payment is deemed to not comply with Section 409A, Company and Employee agree to attempt to renegotiate in good faith any such benefit
or payment so that either (i) Section 409A will not apply or (ii) compliance with Section 409A will be achieved. 
 4. Excess
Parachute Payments. If any payments or benefits received or to be received by Employee pursuant to this Agreement in connection with or contingent on a change in ownership or control are deemed to be an “excess parachute payment”
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (“Excess Parachute Payment”), and if the Company has no publicly-traded stock, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “shareholder approval” within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code of such payments or benefits in order to exempt such payments or benefits from being considered an Excess Parachute Payment. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, such payments or benefits still would be
considered to result in an Excess Parachute Payment, then, at Blackbaud’s election, such payments under this Agreement shall either be paid in full or reduced to the extent necessary to avoid being considered an Excess Parachute Payment, based
upon Blackbaud’s determination, in its sole discretion, as to which alternative results in the better tax consequences for the Employee. 

 5. Employment At Will. Nothing herein is meant to alter the “at will” status of Employee’s
employment with the Company. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2 regarding a “Change in Control,” Employee’s employment with the Company may be terminated at any time, for any or no cause or reason, by either Employee or by the
Company. 
 6. Notice. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing (a) either by actual delivery of the notice
into the hands of the party thereto entitled, by messenger, by fax or by over-night delivery service or (b) by the mailing of the notice in the United States mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, all postage pre-paid and
addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the party’s respective address set forth below, or such other address as the parties may from time to time designate by written notice as herein provided.

 The notice shall be deemed to be received, if sent per subsection (a), on the date of its actual receipt by the
party entitled thereto and, if sent per subsection (b), on the third day after the date of its mailing. 
 7. Amendment. No amendment or
modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the Company unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Company, or upon Employee unless made in writing and signed by Employee. 
 8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the terms agreed upon by the parties with respect to Employee’s compensation upon a Change of
Control and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and communications between the parties dealing with such subject matter, whether oral or written. 
 9. Governing Law. This Agreement and all questions arising in connection herewith shall be governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina. 
 10. General Provisions. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee and the Company and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors
and assigns (provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned by Employee to any other person or entity). Any waiver or accommodation by the Company or Employee at any time shall not act as, or be deemed to be, a continuing waiver or
accommodation and shall not require the Company or Employee to provide any future or later waiver or accommodation. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken
together, shall be and constitute one and the same instrument. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Retention Agreement effective as of the day and year
first above written.

	 	g.	Clinical Studies 

 Clinical studies are not part of
this contract, however, pre-IND package preparation, FDA communication and IND submission preparation are included in the contract SOW. Current NIAID policy requires the product sponsor to submit a request to NIAID to hold the IND for clinical

documents to the FDA will be mutually agreed upon depending on which party holds the IND.

in excess of Executive Level I. 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 annual
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. 

  

	 	b.	Payment of direct salaries is limited to the Executive Level I rate which was in effect on the date(s) the expense was incurred. See the following Web site for Executive Schedule
rates of pay: http://www.opm.gov/oca/. (For current year rates, click on Salaries and Wages / Executive Schedule / Rates

No NIH funds can be used for research involving a Select Agent or Toxin at a domestic institution without
a valid registration certificate. 
 For prime or subcontract awards to foreign institutions that possess, use, and/or
transfer a Select Agent or Toxin, before using NIH funds for any work directly involving a Select Agent or Toxin, the foreign institution must provide information satisfactory to the NIAID that safety, security, and training standards
equivalent to those described in 42 CFR part 73, 7 CFR part 331, and/or 9 CFR part 121 are in place and will be administered on behalf of all Select Agent or Toxin work supported by these funds. The process for making this determination
includes inspection of the foreign laboratory facility by an NIAID representative. During this inspection, the foreign institution must provide the following information: concise summaries of safety, security, and training plans; names of
individuals at the foreign institution who will have access to the Select Agents and procedures for ensuring that only approved and appropriate individuals, in accordance with institution procedures, will have access to the Select Agents under the
contract; and copies of or links to any applicable laws, regulations, policies, and procedures applicable to that institution for the safe and secure possession, use, and/or transfer of select agents. No NIH funds can be used for work involving a
Select Agent or Toxin at a foreign institution without written approval from the Contracting Officer.

 STATEMENT OF WORK 
 Production of Monoclonal Antibody-Based Therapeutics for Botulism 
 BACKGROUND AND 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.
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are one of these biological threats and new therapies and diagnostics are needed to help counter the potential terrorist use of these toxins. Current treatment for exposure to BoNTs is despeciated polyclonal equine
antitoxin. The disadvantages of this treatment include a risk of adverse reactions and a relatively short half-life in humans. Experience with human and human compatible monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) as therapies for other diseases has shown them to
have a superior safety profile and longer half-life than equine antibodies. Through the proposed contract NIAID is seeking to advance the development of a human or human compatible MAb-based therapeutic product for the treatment of botulism caused
by BoNT serotypes A, B and E (BoNT/A/B/E), which are Category A threat agents and account for >95% of naturally caused foodborne botulism 
 The NIAID is
aware that no single organization may have the expertise and facilities required to perform all parts of the Statement of Work. Therefore, it may be necessary for the Contractor to subcontract a portion of the work. The Contractor shall, however, be
responsible for ALL work performed under this contract, including that performed by subcontractor(s). 
 The overall objective of this contract is to support
the development of a safe human compatible MAb-based final drug product (FDP) that neutralizes the major subserotypes of BoNT/A/B/E (i.e. Al, A2, A3, BI, B2, El and E3). This product should be acceptable for post-exposure prophylaxis and treatment
of BoNT intoxication, incurred by foodborne or aerosol exposure. The FDP should be stable for a minimum of 24 months at 4°C or room temperature. 
 The
critical path for the development of a trivalent product (anti-BoNT/A/B/E) is likely to proceed through nonclinical and clinical evaluation of each of three monovalent products. The monovalent products are anticipated to be composed of multiple
MAbs. It is, therefore, desirable that each monovalent product be formulated identically, and the final formulation for the trivalent product be a simple mixture of the three monovalent products. Through this contract NIAID seeks to support the
development of three monovalent products, anti-BoNT/A, anti-BoNT/B and anti-BoNT/E, and a trivalent product, anti -BoNT/A/B/E. 
 Three human/human
compatible MAbs that together potently neutralize BoNT/A subserotypes Al, A2 and A3 were developed in the laboratory of Dr. James Marks at the University of California, San Francisco under an NIAID-funded cooperative agreement. Under an NIAID
contract NO1-AI-50004, XOMA (US) LLC (“XOMA”), Berkeley, CA, the variable region gene sequences of each MAb was fused to XOMA’s proprietary modular antibody expression vector containing light and heavy chain constant regions. These
MAbs were named NX01, NX02 and NX11. The contract supported the development of Master Cell Banks (MCB) and Working Cell

 Banks (WCB) in a commercial Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line according to current Good Manufacturing Practices
(cGMP). The contract further supported preliminary manufacturing process development, manufacturing at the 130L scale, purification of bulk drug substance, and formulation studies for the individual MAbs. Under a subsequent contract (N01- AI-60008),
NIAID is supporting the development of an anti-BoNT/A FDP that consists of a mixture of the three MAbs (NX01, NX02 and NX11). This three MAb mixture has also been shown to potently neutralize subserotype A3, although activity against subserotype A3
was not required under contract NO1-AI-60008. NIAID intends to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of this FDP in laboratory animals and to then proceed to first-in-human testing of the product under other funding mechanisms. NIAID recognizes
that further formulation of the monovalent anti-BoNT/A product currently under development may be required to ensure final compatibility with the anti-BoNT/B and anti-BoNT/E products. 
 The Contractor is expected to use knowledge, reagents, materials, WCB, MCB, BDS and FDP produced under contract N01-AI-50004 and N01-AI-60008 to most efficiently perform the activities outlined in this Statement of
Work. Specifically, the Contractor shall utilize the anti-BoNT A MAb WCB, MCB, BDS and FDP developed under these two previous contracts. 
 The Contractor
shall provide a panel of candidate MAbs with demonstrated activity against the major subserotypes of BoNT serotypes A, B and E. 
 SCOPE: 

The major functions to be carried out under this contract include: 
  

	 	1)	Evaluation of a panel of candidate MAbs for in vivo potency, in vitro safety, and their potential to be formulated into one of three monovalent products (i.e. anti-BoNT/A,
anti-BoNT/B and anti-BoNT/E) and a single trivalent product (i.e. Anti-BoNT/A/B/E). Based on results from these studies, selection of lead MAbs to transition to cGMP manufacturing. 

  

	 	2)	Production of cGMP master cell banks (MCB) and working cell banks (WCB) for each lead MAb 

  

	 	3)	Development of a manufacturing process, manufacturing of non-GMP bulk drug substance at pilot and full-scale and cGMP bulk drug substance at full scale for each lead MAb

  

	 	4)	Production of three monovalent serotype-specific (anti-BoNT/A, anti-BoNT/B and anti-BoNT/E) FDPs and one trivalent FDP (anti-BoNT/A/B/E) according to cGMP and in sufficient amounts
to support preclinical studies, long-term stability program, and Phase 1 and 2 clinical evaluation. 

  

	 	5)	Assay development, qualification and validation (as required) for all of the assays needed to support nonclinical and clinical evaluation, manufacturing, and stability.

  

	 	6)	Performance of preclinical IND-enabling safety and pharmacology studies as required for IND approval. 

  

	 	7)	Design, justification, and execution of an extended stability program for all BDS and FDP 

  

	 	8)	Preparation of materials for submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), participation in meetings with the FDA, including meetings to review pre-Investigational New Drug
(IND) packages and IND applications.

	B	Milestone Descriptions 

 Specifically, the
Contractor shall perform all activities to accomplish: 
 Milestone 1: Selection of lead MAbs based on their potency, lack of
tissue cross-reactivity in preliminary non-GLP screening studies both as single MAbs and as mixtures, and likelihood to be co-formulated. This shall include a clearly defined formulation strategy, for the three monovalent (Anti-BoNT/A, Anti-BoNT/B
and anti-BoNT/E) and one trivalent (Anti-BoNT/A/B/E) FDP. This formulation strategy should be focused on meeting the formulation goals in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible. The goal for formulation is a sterile product, suitable
for intravenous infusion that is stable for at least 24 months at 4°C or room temperature. However, should this not be feasible, NIAID will consider frozen, lyophilized or novel formulation strategies. Ideally, each monovalent product shall be
formulated identically and the trivalent FDP shall be a simple mixture of the three monovalent products. The use of novel in vivo potency, in vitro safety, formulation and antibody engineering technologies may be employed to achieve
this milestone. 
 With the exception of the three MAbs (NX01, NX02 and NX11) developed under contract no. N01-AI-60008, the Contractor may
proceed to other Milestones, prior to the review and approval of the Milestone 1 report only with written approval of the Project Officer. For NX01, NX02 and NX11, Milestones 5 - 7 may be performed in parallel with Milestone 1. 
 Milestone 2: Develop and select high expression stable clones, suitable for MCB production in mammalian cell system for each lead MAb.

 Milestones 2 - 6 may be performed in parallel for the lead MAbs. 
 Milestone 3: Production of a minimum of 200 vials of cGMP MCB and 200 vials of cGMP WCB for each lead MAb, and a certificate of analysis for
each. 
 Milestone 4: Manufacturing process at pilot scale (e.g. 7 liter) to optimize yield and purity of each lead MAb
and a plan for storage of BDS for each MAb.

 INVOICE/FINANCING REQUEST AND CONTRACT FINANCIAL REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
 NIH COST-REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACTS, NIH(RC)-4 
 Format: Payment requests shall be submitted on the Contractor’s self-generated form in the manner and format prescribed herein and as illustrated in the Sample Invoice/Financing Request. Standard Form 1034, Public Voucher for
Purchases and Services Other Than Personal, may be used in lieu of the Contractor’s self-generated form provided it contains all of the information shown on the Sample Invoice/Financing Request. DO NOT include a cover letter with the payment
request. 
 Number of Copies: Payment requests shall be submitted in the quantity specified in the Invoice Submission Instructions in Section G of the
Contract Schedule. 
 Frequency: Payment requests shall not be submitted more frequently than once every two weeks in accordance with the Allowable
Cost and Payment Clause incorporated into this contract. Small business concerns may submit invoices/financing requests more frequently than every two weeks when authorized by the Contracting Officer. 
 Cost Incurrence Period: Costs incurred must be within the contract performance period or covered by precontract cost provisions. 
 Billing of Costs Incurred: If billed costs include (1) costs of a prior billing period, but not previously billed, or (2) costs incurred during the
contract period and claimed after the contract period has expired, the Contractor shall site the amount(s) and month(s) in which it incurred such costs. 
 Contractor’s Fiscal Year: Payment requests shall be prepared in such a manner that the Government can identify costs claimed with the Contractor’s fiscal year. 
 Currency: All NIH contracts are expressed in United States dollars. When the Government pays in a currency other than United States dollars, billings shall be expressed, and payment by the Government shall be
made, in that other currency at amounts coincident with actual costs incurred. Currency fluctuations may not be a basis of gain or loss to the Contractor. Notwithstanding the above, the total of all invoices paid under this contract may not exceed
the United States dollars authorized. 
 Costs Requiring Prior Approval: Costs requiring the Contracting Officer’s approval, which are not set
forth in an Advance Understanding in the contract, shall be identified and reference the Contracting Officer’s Authorization (COA) Number. In addition, the Contractor shall show any cost set forth in an Advance Understanding as a separate line
item on the payment request. 
 Invoice/Financing Request Identification: Each payment request shall be identified as either: 
  

	(a)	Interim Invoice/Contract Financing Request: These are interim payment requests submitted during the contract performance period. 

  

	(b)	Completion Invoice: The completion invoice shall be submitted promptly upon completion of the work, but no later than one year from the contract completion date, or within
120 days after settlement of the final indirect cost rates covering the year in which the contract is physically complete (whichever date is later). The Contractor shall submit the completion invoice when all costs have been assigned to the contract
and it completes all performance provisions. 

  

	(c)	Final Invoice: A final invoice may be required after the amounts owed have been settled between the Government and the Contractor (e.g., resolution of all suspensions and
audit exceptions). 

 Preparation and Itemization of the Invoice/Financing Request: The Contractor shall furnish the information set
forth in the instructions below. The instructions are keyed to the entries on the Sample Invoice/Financing Request. All information must be legible or the invoice will be considered improper and returned to the Contractor. 

 

	(a)	Designated Billing Office Name and Address: Enter the designated billing office name and address, as identified in the Invoice Submission Instructions in Section G of the
Contract Schedule. 

  

	(b)	Contractor’s Name, Address, Point of Contact, TIN, and DUNS or DUNS+4 Number: Show the Contractor’s name and address exactly as they appear in the contract, along
with the name, title, phone number, and e-mail address of the person to notify in the event of an improper invoice or, in the case of payment by method other than Electronic Funds Transfer, to whom payment is to be sent. If the remittance name
differs from the legal business name, both names must appear on the invoice. Provide the Contractor’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) or DUNS+4 number. The DUNS number must

  

					
	 NIH(RC)-4
 Rev. 08/2008
	  	1	  	Attachment 2

 identify the Contractor’s name and address exactly as stated in the contract, and as registered in
the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. If the Contractor does not have a valid TIN or DUNS number, provide the Contractor’s Vendor Identification Number (VIN), which appears after the Contractor’s name on the face page of the
award document. [Note: A VIN is assigned to new contracts awarded on or after June 4, 2007, and any existing contract modified to include the VIN number.] When an approved assignment of claims has been executed, the Contractor
shall provide the same information for the assignee as is required for the Contractor (i.e., name, address, point of contact, TIN, and DUNS number), with the remittance information clearly identified as such. 
  

	(c)	Invoice/Financing Request Number: Each payment request must be identified by a unique invoice number, which can only be used one time regardless of the number of contracts or
orders held by an organization. For example, if a contractor has already submitted invoice number 05 on one of its contracts or orders, it cannot use that same invoice number on any other contract or order. Payment requests with duplicate invoice
numbers will be considered improper and will be returned to the contractor. 

 The NIH does not prescribe a particular numbering
format but suggests using a job or account number for each contract and order followed by a sequential invoice number (example: 8675309-05). Invoice numbers are limited to 30 characters. There are no restrictions on the use of special characters,
such as colons, dashes, forward slashes, or parentheses. 
 If all or part of an invoice is suspended and the contractor chooses to reclaim
those costs on a supplemental invoice, the contractor may use the same unique invoice number followed by an alpha character, such as “R” for revised 
 (example: 8675309-05R). 
  

	(d)	Date Invoice/Financing Request Prepared: Insert the date the payment request is prepared. 

  

	(e)	Contract Number and Order Number (if applicable): Insert the contract number and order number (if applicable).

the order, exclusive of fixed-fee. For incrementally funded contracts/orders, enter the amount currently obligated and available for payment. 

  

	(h)	Total Fixed-Fee: Insert the total fixed-fee (where applicable). For incrementally funded contracts/orders, enter the amount currently obligated and available for payment.

  

	(i)	Two-Way/Three-Way Match: Identify whether payment is to be made using a two-way or three-way match. To determine required payment method, refer to the Invoice Submission
Instructions in Section G of the Contract Schedule. 

  

	(j)	Office of Acquisitions: Insert the name of the Office of Acquisitions, as identified in the Invoice Submission Instructions in Section G of the Contract Schedule.

  

	(k)	Central Point of Distribution: Insert the Central Point of Distribution, as identified in the Invoice Submission Instructions in Section G of the Contract Schedule.

	(m)	Amount Billed - Current Period: Insert the amount claimed for the current billing period by major cost element, including any adjustments and fixed-fee. If the Contract
Schedule contains separately priced line items, identify the contract line item(s) on the payment request and include a separate breakdown (by major cost element) for each line item. 

  

	(n)	Amount Billed - Cumulative: Insert the cumulative amounts claimed by major cost element, including any adjustments and fixed-fee. If the Contract Schedule contains separately
priced line items, identify the contract line item(s) on the payment request and include a separate breakdown (by major cost element) for each line item.

TITLE:         Development of Therapeutic Agents for Select Biodefense Pathogens 
 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Milan
Tomic, Ph.D. 
  
  
 SUMMARY OF OBJECTIVES: 
 The goal of this proposal is to generate recombinant human compatible monovalent and
trivalent antitoxins for the treatment and prevention of botulism due to botulinum neurotoxin serotypes A, B, and E (BoNT/A, B, and E). Each serotype-specific antitoxin will consist of 3 or 4 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in order to provide
extraordinarily potent toxin neutralization. For this proposal, BoNT/A, B and E mAbs developed in the Marks Lab (UCSF) will be manufactured and formulated at XOMA to generate 3 monovalent BoNT/A, B, and E antitoxins and a potent trivalent BoNT/A, B,
and E antitoxin for the treatment of botulism. XOMA is currently manufacturing three BoNT/A mAbs which can be used for a monovalent BoNT/A drug product. We will: 1) evaluate 9 and select 7 (3 BoNT/E and 4 BoNT/B) lead mAb candidates from parental
BoNT mAbs provided by Dr. Marks. Lead mAbs will be selected based on stability, lack of cross reactivity to human tissue and potency in vivo when combined; 2) develop cell lines and production processes for each lead mAb and release engineering
and GMP lots; 3) develop stable co-formulations and analytical tests for each monovalent BoNT/A, B, and E drug product and/or trivalent drug products; 4) perform IND enabling non-clinical studies on the monovalent and trivalent drug products; and 5)
file an IND for the monovalent and/or the trivalent drug product. The high potency observed for BoNT/A, B and E mAbs in vivo may allow vialing of extremely small amounts of antibody (~ 5 mg total) as a therapeutic dose. At current yields for the
BoNT/A mAbs, remarkably small fermentation volumes for each of 10 mAbs (3 BoNT/A, 4 BoNT/B, and 3 BoNT/E) could yield over 1 million doses!
