Project Overview

Neogenix Oncology Inc. (NEOGENIX) has requested that Selexis SA (Selexis) rapidly develop high-performance clonal cell line(s) for the production of NEOGENIX Product using Selexis Genetic Elements™ (SGEs) and the Selexis SURE Cell Line(s) Development^SM process. The goal of this program is the rapid development of a high-performance cell line and [ ** ] to NEOGENIX or a Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) for process development and manufacturing under cGMP.

As part of this program, Selexis [ ** ] the Selexis Genetic Elements™. This synthesis activity can be conducted during contract negotiations – saving precious time. Alternatively, Selexis can utilize NEOGENIX’s [ ** ] Selexis Genetic Elements™.

This proposal defines the timescales and the costs for the generation and delivery of a research cell bank for the top [ ** ] clonal cell lines [ ** ] and cell growth characteristics.

The Selexis work is broken out into the following modules:

•

Module ONE – Project Kick-off & Technology Transfer

•

Module TWO – Construction Selexis Genetic Element™ Vectors Containing NEOGENIX Gene

•

Module THREE – Establishment of High Performance Clonal Cell Line (LD2)

This proposal is valid for 60 days from date of issuance

Selexis Project Management:

Once the Services Agreement has been executed, Selexis will form a project team under the control of a Selexis Project Manager. This person is responsible for the day-to-day management of the work program at Selexis and will be the main technical contact for NEOGENIX. The Selexis Project Manager will be responsible for facilitating the agreed upon communications plan (i.e., teleconferences, monthly reports, review meetings, etc.). The Services Agreement will incorporate the terms of this proposal and will govern the terms of the program described herein. This proposal is subject to the Services Agreement.

NEOGENIX will identify a primary point of contact [“Contact Person”] at NEOGENIX. The Selexis Project Manager will channel all communications, documents and reports to this Contact Person for appropriate distribution within NEOGENIX. As required, face-to-face meetings will be arranged with the approval of the Contact Person.

Project Scope Changes:

It is the nature of development programs that targets can change. Should NEOGENIX request Selexis complete work outside of the work described in this proposal, and should this change be reasonably deemed significant, written approval (e-mail or fax) will be required prior to initiation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This additional work could impact the pricing of the project, and in such case, the parties will negotiate in good faith a reasonable price adjustment.
