92634891_7 Attachment A Statement of Work (Incorporated as of Modification No. 04; changes to Sections 1, 3, 4, and 5 are indicated in bold italics. Enclosure 3 has been superseded.) 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 (2-8oC). 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
92634891_7 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). 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 based on the
92634891_7 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. 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.
92634891_7 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 Quarterly 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 3.1.1 Subtask: Raw Materials – Obtain Critical Starting Materials for Adjuvant Manufacturing Sufficient Saponin to manufacture up to 100M vaccine doses will be purchased (Desert King, headquartered in San Diego, CA, facilities in Chile).

Data deliverables shall be provided in accordance with the agreement, and in coordination with the AOR. 7.0 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, DATA RIGHTS, AND COPYRIGHTS 7.1 BACKGROUND IP (a) Ownership. Prior to June 8, 2020, Novavax had funded the development of NVX-CoV2373, and other antecedent vaccine programs relevant to Novavax’ proprietary position in the development of NVX- CoV2373, as well as its sf9/baculovirus manufacturing platform, (all “Background IP”) through private
92634891_7 funding or in collaboration with a funding partner other than the U.S. Government. Such private and non- governmental funding has continued since June 8, 2020 and is expected to continue during the performance of the Project Agreement. A list of all patents and patent applications included in the Background IP is provided below as Enclosure 4. Background IP also consists of (a) manufacturing know-how, including, without limitation, the NVAX-Cov2373 manufacturing process definitions, process development/characterization reports, laboratory scale process procedures, manufacturing records, analytical test methods, product quality target ranges/specifications, quality target product profile, critical quality attributes (collectively “Background Know-How”), (b) data from pre-clinical and clinical research studies, analytical and process development research, and data related to, or generated using, the Background Know-How (collectively, “Background Data”), and (c) proprietary manufacturing materials, including, without limitation, sf9 cell banks (master and working), baculovirus virus stock (master and working), product standards, reference standards, and critical reagents (“Background Materials”). On June 8, 2020, Novavax and the U.S. Department of Defense entered into a Letter Contract for specified U.S.-based clinical and manufacturing development of NVX-CoV2373 which acknowledged Background IP and made no explicit U.S. Government claims to Background IP or subsequent data arising therefrom. The U.S. Government hereby acknowledges such Background IP in full and further acknowledges that it has no ownership rights to Novavax Background IP under this Project Agreement. (b) Background IP Limited License to Government. Subject to the terms of the Project Agreement, Novavax grants the U.S. Government a nonexclusive, worldwide, nontransferable, non-sublicenseable license to use the Background IP to the limited extent necessary for the U.S. Government to review and use the Deliverables tendered by Novavax under this Agreement identified in Section 4.0 above, and for no other purpose; provided that the U.S. Government agrees that it may not disclose the Background IP to third parties, or allow third parties to have access to, use, practice or have practiced the Background IP, without Novavax’s prior written consent. To the extent that a Deliverable with Foreground IP incorporates or uses Background IP, the Deliverable shall be deemed and considered to comprise Background IP and shall be used by the U.S. Government in accordance with this Background IP Limited License. (c) Background IP License to Novavax. Subject to the terms of the Project Agreement, the U.S. Government grants to Novavax a nonexclusive, worldwide, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to any intellectual property (including patents and patent applications) to which the U.S. Government has rights thereto, provided that such license is limited to such intellectual property rights necessary to perform Novavax’s obligations under the Project Agreement. 7.2 FOREGROUND IP (a) Ownership. Notwithstanding anything in the Base Agreement to the contrary, Novavax owns all rights, title and interest in and to any development, modification, discovery, invention or improvement, whether or not patentable, conceived, made, reduced to practice, or created in connection with activities funded under the Project Agreement, including, without limitation, all data and inventions, and intellectual property rights in any of the foregoing (“Foreground IP”). (b) Foreground IP Special License. Subject to the terms of the Project Agreement, Novavax grants the U.S. Government a nonexclusive, worldwide, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced the Foreground IP for or on behalf of the U.S. Government (“Foreground IP Special License”). 8.0 DATA RIGHTS
92634891_7 Article XI, §11.03 of the Base Agreement is hereby amended, consistent with the “Specifically Negotiated License Rights” capability at Article XI, §§11.01(12) and 11.03(4), as follows: 8.1 Data Ownership. Novavax owns all rights, title and interest to all Data (as defined in Article XI, Section 11.01(7) of the Base Agreement) generated as a result of the work performed under this Project Agreement, including Subject Data. 8.2 Rights to Data. (a) Subject Data. Subject to the terms of the Project Agreement, Novavax grants to the U.S. Government a Government purpose rights license to Subject Data that will convert to an unlimited rights license (as the term is defined in Article XI, Section 11.01(14) of the Base Agreement)1 after three (3) years from the date of delivery. As used herein, “Subject Data” shall mean Technical Data under Article XI, §11.01(13) of the Base Agreement Deliverables that are considered Subject Data are identified in the Deliverable Table set forth in Section 4.0 above. (b) Transfer of Data. Each party, upon written request to the other party, shall have the right to review and to request delivery of Subject Data, and delivery of such Data shall be made to the requesting party within two weeks of the request, except to the extent that such Data are subject to a claim of confidentiality or privilege by a third party. (c) Background IP Limited License. To the extent that Subject Data incorporates or uses Background IP, the data shall be deemed and considered to comprise Background IP and shall be used by the U.S. Government in accordance with the Background IP Limited License set forth in Section 7.3 above. 8.3 Background Technical Data Rights Assertions. Novavax asserts background technical data rights as follows: The Background Data, as defined in Section 7.1 above, was developed through private funding or in collaboration with a funding partner other than the U.S. Government. Such funding is expected to continue; accordingly, Novavax asserts Background Data as Category A Data pursuant to section 11.02(1) of the Base Agreement and the U.S. Government shall have no rights therein. 9.0 REGULATORY RIGHTS This agreement includes research with an investigational drug, biologic or medical device that is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and requires FDA pre-market approval or clearance before commercial marketing may begin. It is expected that this agreement will result in the FDA authorization, clearance and commercialization of NVX-CoV-2373 as a Vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus (the “Technology”). Novavax is the Sponsor of the Regulatory Application (an investigational new drug application (IND), investigational device exemption (IDE), emergency use authorization (EUA), new drug application (NDA), biologics license application (BLA), premarket approval application (PMA), or 510(k) 1 As used herein, “Government Use” as used “Purpose Rights“ has the meaning set forth in this Section 4.0 means Government purpose rights as defined in the Base Agreement, Article XI, Section 11.01(9).) of the Base Agreement, as modified by Section 8.2(b) below.
92634891_7 pre-market notification filing (510(k)) or another regulatory filing submitted to the FDA) that controls research under this contract. As the Sponsor of the Regulatory Application to the FDA (as the terms “sponsor” and “applicant” are defined or used in at 21 CFR §§3.2(c), 312.5, 600.3(t), 812.2(b), 812 Subpart C, or 814.20), Novavax has certain standing before the FDA that entitles it to exclusive communications related to the Regulatory Application. This clause protects the return on research and development investment made by the U.S. Government in the event of certain regulatory product development failures related to the Technology. Novavax agrees to the following: a. Communications. Novavax will provide the U.S. Government with all communications and summaries thereof, both formal and informal, to or from FDA regarding the Technology and ensure that the U.S. Government representatives are invited to participate in any formal or informal Sponsor meetings with FDA; b. Rights of Reference. The U.S. Government is hereby granted a right of reference as that term is defined in 21 C.F.R. § 314.3(b) (or any successor rule or analogous applicable law recognized outside of the U.S.) to any Regulatory Application submitted in support of the statement of work for the Project Agreement. When it desires to exercise this right, the U.S. Government agrees to notify Novavax in writing describing the request along with sufficient details for Novavax to generate a letter of cross-reference for the U.S. Government to file with the appropriate FDA office. The U.S. Government agrees that such letters of cross- reference may contain reporting requirements to enable Novavax to comply with its own pharmacovigilance reporting obligations to the FDA and other regulatory agencies. Nothing in this paragraph reduces the U.S. Government’s data rights as articulated in other provisions of the Project Agreement. c. DoD Medical Product Priority. PL-115-92 allows the DoD to request, and FDA to provide, assistance to expedite development and the FDA’s review of products to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life- threatening diseases or conditions facing American military personnel. Novavax recognizes that only the DoD can utilize PL 115-92. As such, Novavax will work proactively with the DoD to leverage this this law to its maximal potential under this Project Agreement. Novavax shall submit a mutually agreed upon Public Law 115-92 Sponsor Authorization Letter to the U.S. Government within 30 days of award. 10.0 ENSURING SUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF THE PRODUCT a. In recognition of the Government’s significant funding for the development and manufacturing of the product in this Project Agreement and the Government’s need to provide sufficient quantities of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine to protect the United States population, the Government shall have the remedy described in this section to ensure sufficient supply of the product to meet the needs of the public health or national security. This remedy is not available to the Government unless and until both of the following conditions are met: i. Novavax gives written notice, required to be submitted to the Government no later than 15 business days, of: a. any formal management decision to terminate manufacturing of the NVX-CoV- 2373 vaccine prior to delivery of 100 million doses to USG; b. any formal management decision to discontinue sale of the NVX-CoV-2373 vaccine to the Government prior to delivery of 100 million doses to USG; or c. any filing that anticipates Federal bankruptcy protection; and
92634891_7 ii. Novavax has submitted an Emergency Use Authorization under §564 of the FD&C Act or a biologics license application provisions of §351(a) of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA). b. If both conditions listed in section (a) occur, Novavax, upon the request of the Government, shall provide the following items necessary for the Government to pursue manufacturing of the NVX-CoV-2373 vaccine with a third party for exclusive sale to the U.S. Government: i. a writing evidencing a non-exclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable (except for cause), royalty-free paid-up license to practice or have practiced for or on behalf of the U.S. Government any Background IP as defined in clause 7.1 necessary to manufacture or have manufactured the NVX-CoV2373 vaccine; ii. necessary FDA regulatory filings or authorizations owned or controlled by Novavax related to NVX-Cov2373 and any confirmatory instrument pertaining thereto; and iii. any outstanding Deliverables contemplated or materials purchased under this Project Agreement. c. This Article shall be incorporated into any contract for follow-on activities for the Government to acquire and use additional doses of the product. Per section 1.3, the estimated quantity for follow-on production/procurement is approximately 560 million doses. d.
