Project Objectives
BioFactura has designed an improved scalable cell culture bioprocess for the production of
virus-like replicon particle (VRP) vaccines based on the attenuated strain of the replication
defective Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) virus, V3014. If funded the proposed project
will fulfill the Area of Interest, Category 3 (Medical CBRN Countermeasures and Enabling
Technologies), Item 5: Evaluate/develop manufacturing processes which may improve the
production, shelf life, or stability of candidate or FDA-approved medical CBRN
countermeasures. BioFacturas proposed production methods will not only speed up the
advanced development process leading to FDA approval for a broad range of VRP vaccines, but
also offer a significant reduction in cost and time over the current manufacturing process.
Although the VEE VRP platform has proven to yield protective vaccines for the range of
filoviruses (Ebola, Marburg) and alphaviruses (WEE, VEE, and EEE), the current process for
production of VRPs is low yielding and poorly scalable to cGMP manufacture. BioFacturas
process will replace the currently used adherent Vero cell line with a stable suspension Vero
(sVero) cell line (Zelltek) or stable suspension EB66 cell line (Vivalis) that expresses the VRP
structural proteins using a tightly controlled inducible promoter. Furthermore, BioFacturas
production process will replace the current bottleneck of electroporation with a simple, scalable
VRP transduction step to transport the replicon coding for the pathogen genes of interest into the
stable sVero or EB66 cell line. Upon development and optimization, this process will provide a
universal scalable production method for any VEE VRP vaccine using a common stable helper
cell line and modular replicon induction step. Elements of this process may also be applicable to
other VRP- and VLP-based vaccines and platforms.

Phase I: Suspension Parental Cell Lines (CWBS 1.1)
Phase I will establish a key Master Cell Bank (MCB) for the sVero parental cell line as well
as working banks for both sVero and EB66 lines to be used throughout the project. A reference
lot of VEE VRP vaccine will be manufactured using the current adherent Vero cell line and
production processes (triple RNA electroporation and established downstream harvest and
purification methods). This reference material will be used in this and all subsequent phases in
VRP tests as a benchmark for vaccine yield, quality, activity, and protective efficacy. Finally in
Phase I, lots of VRP vaccine will be produced in the two suspension parental cell lines, sVero
and EB66 using the identical process used to manufacture the reference lot. These test lots will
be compared with the benchmark reference using a panel of in vitro assays and in vivo
immunogenicity and protection studies. This VRP testing will be repeated at the end of each
phase to evaluate the impact of key changes in the upstream production process. Advancement of
new cell lines and process changes to the next project phase will be gated by the achievement of
comparable results in these tests by the new VRP vaccine lots as compared to the reference lot.
An additional gate for Phase I will be the successful creation of an MCB for the parental sVero
cell line which, to date, has not been fully tested for use in clinical and commercial
manufacturing.
o CWBS 1.1.1 Working Cell Banks
CWBS 1.1.1.1 EB66 Cell Bank
A cGMP Master Cell Bank (MCB) of EB66 cells will be received from Vivalis and
stored in liquid nitrogen. The cells will be thawed and cultured in the vendor recommended
ExCell EBx GRO-I medium (SAFC). After 3-4 passages to ensure recovery, growth rate and
viability will be determined by manual cell counts using a hemacytometer and Trypan blue
exclusion. Morphology will be observed and all cell line properties compared to the normal
reference information provided by the vendor. To create a Working Cell Bank (WCB),
expanded EB66 cells in exponential growth period will be centrifuged at 200g and the cell
pellet suspended in a solution containing 90% fresh ExCell EBx GRO-I medium, and 10%
DMSO. This cell suspension will be aliquoted in cryotubes containing 1ml of the suspension
each, frozen in chambers at the rate of 1C/minute, and stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase.

CWBS 1.1.1.2.1-.4 sVero Parental Cell Line Thaw, Expansion, and Creation of an
Accession Cell Bank (ACB)
sVero cells will be received from Zelltek and stored in liquid nitrogen. The cells will
be thawed and cultured in the vendor recommended SMIF-6 medium (GIBCO). After 34 passages to ensure recovery, growth rate and viability will be determined by manual
cell counts using a hemacytometer and Trypan blue exclusion. Morphology will be
observed and all cell line properties compared to the normal reference information
provided by the vendor. To create an accession cell bank (ACB), expanded sVero cells in
exponential growth period will be centrifuged at 200g and the cell pellet suspended in a
solution containing 45% SMIF-6 conditioned medium, 45% fresh SMIF-6 medium, and
10% DMSO. This cell suspension will be aliquoted in cryotubes containing 1ml of the
suspension each, frozen in chambers at the rate of 1C/minute, and stored in liquid
nitrogen vapor phase.
CWBS 1.1.1.2.5-.10 sVero ACB Testing, cGMP Master Cell Bank (MCB), and
Creation of a Working Cell Bank (WCB)
The sVero ACB will be tested for an initial panel of pre-bank qualifying test
including sterility and absence of mycoplasma. Upon successful pre-bank testing, a
cGMP Master Cell Bank (MCB) will be created at a subcontractor (Bioreliance). The
MCB will be subjected to a full panel of tests required for current Good Manufacturing
Practices (cGMP) manufacturing of clinical and commercial live-virus vaccine products.
The tests include a broad panel of adventitious agent tests (e.g., bovine, simian, porcine,
and human viruses), presence of retroviruses, and tumor formation. Two vials will be
shipped back to BioFactura for generation of a Working Cell Bank (WCB) while the
remaining MCB stored offsite at the subcontractor.
o CWBS 1.1.2 Reference VRP Production (Upstream, BSL-3)
CWBS 1.1.2.1 VRP RNA Constructs Generation
Based on established protocols, replicon and helper DNA plasmids will be transformed
into competent E. coli cells using the appropriate methods. Five (5) clones each will be
picked, expanded in suspension culture, and glycerol stocks prepared and stored at -80C. A
portion of the suspension culture will be used to make small-scale (mini) purified plasmid
DNA preparations using a commercially available kit. Purified DNAs will be analyzed by
appropriate restriction endonucleases (REN) and by DNA sequencing (outsourced to
Macrogen). Upon REN and sequence confirmation, a single clone of each plasmid DNA will
be scaled up for large (giga) purified plasmid DNA preparations. These preparations will be
stored at -20C and used for the entire project (DNA Construct Working Banks). For
electroporation of producer cells, purified DNA plasmids will be linearized by NotI
endonuclease digestion and used as templates for in vitro transcription of capped RNA using
RNA Express T7 kits (Promega). After transcription, RNA will be treated with DNase,
purified by anion exchange chromatography followed by desalting, and stored at80C until
use.

Reference VRP vaccine will be produced using the current adherent cell based process.
Briefly, a Vero working cell bank derived from VERO E6 cells (ATCC number CRL-1586),
will be thawed and cultured in 40-50 mL of Eagles minimum essential medium (EMEM)
with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) in 175 cm2 flasks at 37C, 5%CO2. After 24 h, cells will
be detached by treatment with 0.05% trypsin (Gibco) and passaged/expanded daily 3 times.
For VRP production, cells will be harvested, washed and re-suspended in PBS to a
concentration of 1.52.0108 cells/mL, mixed with RNA (30 mg each of replicon, capsid
helper and glycoprotein helper), transferred to 0.4 cm gap cuvettes and electroporated using a
Gene Pulser II electroporation unit (BioRad). Electroporated cells will be resuspended in 100
mL OptiPRO SFM (Invitrogen) with 4 mM glutamine and cultured at 37C and 5% CO2.

o CWBS 1.1.3 VRP Production: Suspension Parental Cell Lines (Upstream, BSL-3)
VRP vaccine will be produced in both parental sVero and EB66 cell lines using the current
adherent cell based process described above (CWBS 1.1.2.2-.3 Vero Cell Line Expansion and
Electroporation). Cells will be thawed and expanded in their respective media and passaged 3
times to establish robust growth. Cells will be expanded as needed in disposable sterile shaker
flasks to achieve the required 1.52.0108 cells per electroporation reaction. After
electroporation, cells will be resuspended in 100 mL of each cell lines respective growth
medium and cultured in shaker flasks for 24 h. VRP harvest, CPE assay, and VRP purification
and formulation will be performed as per the established protocols described above (CWBS
1.1.2.4 VRP Purification).
o CWBS 1.1.4 VRP Testing
CWBS 1.1.4.1 VRP Titration: Immunofluorescence Assay
To determine transfection efficiencies or the titers of VRP preparations, Vero cells will
be infected with serial dilutions of purified and formulated VRP and incubated in eightchamber slides (Nunc) for 20 h at 37C to allow expression of the VEEV glycoproteins.
Antigen-positive cells will be enumerated for VEEV glycoprotein protein by direct
immunofluorescence using a FITC-conjugated primary reagent or by indirect
immunofluorescence as previously described (Pifat, et al., 1988).
CWBS 1.1.4.4 In-vivo Protection Assay: Mouse VEE Lethal Aerosol Challenge
BALB/c will be immunized with two doses of the vaccine candidates by the SC route on
Day 0 and Day 28. Saline and reference VRP inoculated groups will be included to provide
BioFactura, Inc.
Page 11 of 218
appropriate controls. Mouse sera will be obtained from the periorbital venous sinus at Day 21
and Day 49 and assayed for VEE-specific humoral immune response as described above. At
28 days post-final vaccination, mice will be aerosol challenged with 10000 LD50 VEEV
Trinidad strain. The mice will be challenged with virulent VEEV via the airborne route by
exposure for 10 min to a polydispersed aerosol generated by a Collison nebuliser using the
Henderson Apparatus. Virus dose will be calculated by sampling the air in the box and
assuming a respiratory minute volume for mice of 1.25 mL/g. After challenge, mice will be
observed twice daily for clinical signs of infection (piloerection, hunching, inactivity,
excitability and paralysis) by an observer who is unaware of treatment allocations for 14
days.
2.4.2.2
Phase II: Suspension Helper Cell Lines (CWBS 1.2)
In Phase II, stable helper cell lines will be created using both suspension parental cell lines to
shift the helper function from electroporated RNA constructs to genomically integrated
expression cassettes that will produce the structural VEE C and GP proteins for VRP packaging.
Two inducible expression technologies, LacSwitch II and Tet-On 3G will be evaluated in each
parental cell line resulting in four cell line/expression system combinations. These induction
systems will suppress expression of the potentially cytotoxic VEE structural subunits until cells
are expanded to optimal volumes and densities. Expression of helper functions will be triggered
by the addition of isopropyl -D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) or doxycycline (Dox),
respectively. Coordination of induction and introduction of the self amplifying replicon RNA
into the cells will result in VRP production. As with Phase I, advancement of new stable helper
cell lines to Phase III, will be gated by the achievement of comparable or improved results in the
VRP test panel by the respective VRP vaccine lots as compared to the reference lot.
o CWBS 1.2.1 EB66 Helper Cell Lines
CWBS 1.2.1.1 Lac Induction System
The ability to inducibly turn on the VEE GP and C transgenes is important for the
development of stable helper cell lines as these viral protein subunits are potentially toxic to
the proposed EB66 and sVero parental cell lines. In the Escherichia coli lactose (lac) operon,
the Lac repressor binds as a homotetramer to the lac operator, blocking transcription of the
lacZ gene. Physiological or synthetic inducers, such as allolactose or IPTG respectively, bind
to the Lac repressor causing a conformational change and effectively decrease the affinity of
the repressor for the operator. When the repressor is removed from the operator, transcription
from the lac operon resumes.
The LacSwitch II inducible mammalian expression system utilizes an improved vector
system in which several elements of the lac operon have been modified for use in eukaryotic
cells for the control of gene expression. This method for inducible expression of exogenous
genes in eukaryotic cells consists of a eukaryotic Lac-repressor expressing vector,
pCMVLacI, and a eukaryotic lac-operator containing vector, pOPRSVI/MCS, into which the
gene of interest is inserted by cloning (see Figure 2). These vectors are transfected into a
cultured cell line in which expression of the inserted gene is repressed until an inducer is
added to the media. Upon induction, expression of the inserted gene resumes.
The LacSwitch II inducible mammalian expression system is a versatile and proven
alternative to other systems. The system uses a nontoxic, fast-acting inducer, IPTG, which
BioFactura, Inc.
Page 12 of 218
permits induction in 48 hours, partly due to the rapid transportation of IPTG into eukaryotic
cells. The LacSwitch II expression system exhibits low basal expression of a luciferase
reporter gene (~1020 molecules/cell) when in the repressed state.
Figure 2. Map of the eukaryotic Lac-repressor-expressing vector, pCMVLacI, and
pOPRSVI/MCS vector. Expression of the Lac repressor protein is driven by the CMV promoter
and the protein is targeted to the nucleus by the SV40 nuclear localization sequence (NLS).
Hygromycin is used for selection in mammalian cells. For the pOPRSVI/MCS vector, the Rous
sarcoma virus (RSV) promoter drives expression of the gene of interest inserted into the MCS.
Ideal operator sequences for Lac repressor binding are present in the RSV promoter and in the
intron. G418 resistance is provided by the neomycin gene.

Parental cells will be expanded and transfected with the pCMV-Tet3G vector.
Parental cells will be expanded and co-transfected with both the pCMV-Tet3G vector and
the pTRE3G-IRES vector containing the VEE VRP structural genes. After a 24-hour
recovery, the transfection pool will be resuspended in selection medium with hygromycin
and G418. We anticipate emergence of a stable pool in 2-3 weeks and will perform an
initial induction study to confirm expression of VEE subunits. Following expression
confirmation, stable pools will be cloned by limiting dilution and best performing clones
will be selected and banked.
o CWBS 1.2.2 sVero Helper Cell Lines
Stable sVero helper cell lines will be generated using the Lac and Tet inducible systems as
described above for the EB66 lines. If necessary, VEE VRP structural genes will be optimized
for expression in the sVero cell line.
o CWBS 1.2.3 VRP Production (Upstream, BSL-3)
VRP vaccine will be produced in the best performing clones of each EB66-Lac, EB66-Tet,
sVero-Lac, sVero-Tet stable helper cell lines using the current adherent cell based process
described above (CWBS 1.1.2.2-.3 Vero Cell Line Expansion and Electroporation). Cells will be
thawed and expanded in their respective media and passaged 3 times to establish robust growth.
Cells will be expanded as needed in disposable sterile shaker flasks to achieve the required 1.5
2.0108 cells per electroporation reaction. Prior to electroporation, cells will be induced with
either IPTG or Dox as appropriate to initiate helper function expression. After electroporation
with the replicon RNA, cells will be resuspended in 100 mL of each cell lines respective growth
medium and cultured in shaker flasks for 24 h. VRP harvest, CPE assay, and VRP purification
and formulation will be performed as per the established protocols described above (CWBS
1.1.2.4 VRP Purification).
o CWBS 1.2.4 VRP Testing
VRP produced with stable helper cell lines will be tested and compared to reference
materials. These assays include indirect immunofluorescence assay (yield), ELISA (identity and
activity) and immunogenicity and protection using murine models. These are described above
(CWBS 1.1.4 VRP Testing)
2.4.2.3 Phase III: Induction/Transduction Optimization (CWBS 1.3)
Phase III potentially brings the most valuable VRP production process change proposed in
the project: The replacement of electroporation with VRP vaccine product transduction as the
means for replicon introduction. The first study in this phase will confirm the feasibility of this
approach be measuring VEE VRP transduction efficiency in the suspension parental cell lines as
compared with adherent Vero controls. Parental cell lines with comparable transduction
efficiencies will be advanced to induction and transduction process optimization. Finally, the
best two performing production systems will be scaled to manufacture test lots of VRP vaccine.
The best performing system will be advanced to Phase IV: Process Development.

supplements. These optimization steps are expected to result in significant increases in cell
density and sustained cell viability. These increases in cell culture performance are expected to
concomitantly improve VRP yields. A pilot production run of the optimized process will be
performed prior to bioreactor scale-up and engineering runs at the benchtop scale (5L). As with
the previous phases, test lots of VRP vaccine generated in the three engineering runs will be
compared to the reference lot in the standard VRP test panel. The expected outcome of Phase IV
is the development of a considerably improved VRP production process ready for transfer to
vaccine manufacturing.
o CWBS 1.4.1 Batch Medium Optimization
The best performing clonal helper cell line will be selected for bioreactor process
optimization. The basal growth medium and recommended supplements will be supplied by the
appropriate vendor (Zelltek or Vivalis). Often, due the metabolic uniqueness of mammalian cell
lines following stable transfection, it is imperative to perform an initial series of medium and
feed optimization experiments in order to achieve increased cell densities. An increase in
maximum cell density is often concomitant with significant increases in the yields of vaccine
product. Without these initial studies and appropriate reformulation of the basal growth medium
and the addition of feed supplements, the culture is often deprived of essential metabolites,
particularly primary carbons sources and crucial amino acids, within the first 3 days postinoculation. These studies will be designed using DOE approaches to allow for the testing of
multiple factors in each medium or feed study resulting in a richer data set in a shorter timeline.
The initial optimization studies will focus on the analysis of fresh versus spent medium for
consumption rates of essential metabolites, such as primary carbon sources and amino-acids, by
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and biochemical analytical methods,
respectively. These studies are aimed at identifying specific rate limiting metabolites that will be
rapidly depleted in high-density cultures in stirred tank bioreactors. A list and adjusted
concentrations of each metabolite will be compiled at the completion of CWBS 1.4.1.1
Timecourse Evaluation of Spent Medium-No Induction. The resulting reformulations will be
prepared in-house from high quality media supplements. The reformulated serum-free media will
be used in shaker and spinner flasks to determine adaptability of cultures to growth at increasing
cell densities (CWBS 1.4.1.2 Reformulation and Testing of Initial Carbon Source
Concentrations-No Induction). Finally, the best batch medium formulation will be used in CWBS
1.4.1.3 Reformulation and Testing of Optimized Batch Medium-With Induction to demonstrate
improvements in VRP structural protein expression levels as compared with the original
medium.
o CWBS 1.4.2 Feed Supplement Optimization
In general, reformulations of basal media with optimal carbon source concentration and
specific amino acids result in significant improvements in cell growth and density and
concomitant protein expression. In CWBS 1.4.2 Feed Supplement Optimization, the optimized
batch medium will be supplemented with timed feeds consisting of primary carbon source(s),
amino acids, and other growth and protein expression enhancement supplements. In CWBS
1.4.2.1 Primary Carbon Feed Study-No Induction, the batch culture will be initially
supplemented with primary carbon sources at regular intervals such as day 3, 5, and 7 postinoculation in order to maintain optimum concentrations. In addition, data obtained from batch
culture analysis during medium optimization will be used to formulate an amino acid supplement
BioFactura, Inc.
Page 17 of 218
for concomitant addition with the carbon feeds in CWBS 1.4.2.2 Primary Carbon Plus Amino
Acids Feed Study-No Induction. Finally, in CWBS 1.4.2.2 Primary Carbon Plus Amino Acids
Feed Study-No Induction the commercially-available supplements MEM vitamins, yeast extracts,
sodium pyruvate, and selenium will be evaluated as well to create a semi-custom feed
supplement.
During each of the studies, samples will be collected for metabolite analysis 24 hours
following the addition of each bolus feed. Of particular importance will be the monitoring of
lactic acid and ammonia production. Spikes in the production of these metabolites following a
feed containing significant levels of carbon source(s) is indicative of a shift in metabolic
pathways used by the cell for generation of energy. Often, such spikes are indicative of a shift
from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. Thus, a balance must be achieved to maintain the highest
sustainable levels of aerobic metabolism, which is critical for the production of VRPs. The
concentrations and requirements for other metabolites in each feeding bolus, as outlined above,
will be determined experimentally throughout these studies. It is conceivable that optimal feed
supplements may differ between timed points, but efforts will focus on generating a single
universal feed supplement.
o CWBS 1.4.3 Pilot Production (BSL-3)
Following medium and feed optimization, the best performing stable helper cell line will be
used with the new batch and feed strategies at the 500-mL spinner flask scale to produce VRPs
for preliminary yield and activity testing. After production, VRPs will be harvested at small scale
using the high salt wash. This material will be analyzed for CPE and by indirect IFA (yield) and
ELISA (identity and activity). Success in this pilot production run will advance the process to 5L
Process Scale-up studies to demonstrate scalability and reproducibility.
o CWBS 1.4.4 5L Process Scale-up (Upstream, BSL-3)
Following the successful pilot production run, the process will be adapted for bioreactor
scale-up in two stages: S1 stage, from vial thaw and primary seed expansion stage in flask
culture, and S2 stage, the secondary seed expansion in a 5-L bioreactor. A frozen vial will be
thawed under controlled conditions and used to inoculate a shaker flask to a seeding density in an
appropriate volume of the custom basal medium, usually 30-40 mL (S1 stage). The S1 culture
will be incubated in standard growth conditions until the cell density is in late exponential
growth phase. Cells will then be used to inoculate a 250-mL spinner flask (100 mL working
volume). Cells from the 250-mL spinner flask at the target final density will be used to inoculate
a sterile 1-L spinner flask containing 500-mL of custom basal medium. This culture will be
grown to late exponential growth phase and transferred to the next seed stage, S2. The S2 stage
will be performed in a 5-L bioreactor. Cells from the S1 stage will be used to inoculate a 5-L
bioreactor to in a working volume 3-4 L. Scheduled feeds will be added as determined by
previous development studies. Culture samples will be collected daily, for determination of
viable cell count and for analysis of spent media. Coordinated induction and transduction will be
performed at the optimal timing and conditions as indicated by previous development studies.
VRP harvest, CPE assay, and VRP purification and formulation will be performed as per the
established protocols described above (CWBS 1.1.2.4 VRP Purification). To demonstrate process
reproducibility, three identical engineering runs will be performed.

Technical Approach sections with the IMS.
In order to satisfy the level of detail requested (to level 4 and beyond), but due to the page
size constraints of Microsoft Word, the CWBS diagram is provided separately in both electronic
files (Microsoft PowerPoint and PDF) and on a large format paper hard copy. The full CWBS
dictionary is provided in Section 5.2 of the Appendix.

IMS
The IMS documents all critical paths, major milestones, tasks/activities, durations, lag times,
and task relationships (predecessor/successor) in sufficient detail to account for the entire
program. Furthermore, the IMS was used to generate the CWBS and CWBS dictionary and is
directly traceable to the SOW and technical approach sections. The IMS has been prepared to
level 6 but tasks roll-up to increasingly higher summary levels. Due to the page size constraints
of Microsoft Word, the IMS is provided separately in electronic files (Microsoft Project and
PDF) to level 6 and on a large format paper hard copy to level 4.

Risk Identification
BioFactura has sought to find any potential risks by identifying all events that, when
triggered, could cause problems. There are numerous methods of risk identification. One basic
approach is to seek any potential sources of problems (source analysis) while another is to
identify the problem itself (problem analysis). While source analysis involves finding potential
internal or external risk sources, problem analysis simply identifies any threats. Alternatively,
any event that may endanger achieving an objective partly or completely is identified as a risk
(objectives-based risk identification). The company conducted a risk analysis using the above
risk identification approaches but limited this initial effort to reviewing the proposed project
schedule and looking for the following risk drivers:
Any events that may endanger key project milestones.
Tasks with aggressive timelines and/or cost estimates.
Tasks for which there are a limited number of resources that can do particular tasks and
where those resources are fully allocated, over-allocated, or may become unavailable.
Tasks with several predecessors.
Tasks with long durations and/or a lot of resources.
Tasks with which the team has limited experience; hence a greater risk of predicting the
outcome and planning accordingly.
3.5.4.2
Risk Assessment and Prioritization
Once risks were identified, each risk was assessed as to its potential severity of negative
impact, and to the probability of its occurrence. Each was qualified in terms of Low,
Medium, and High. Based on the Companys and projects risk sensitivities, the priority
Table 3 below was developed, which was then used to prioritize all identified risks. Due to page
BioFactura, Inc.
Page 30 of 218
limit constraints, only risks with level 1 4 priorities, (1 being the highest priority) have been
identified in Table 4.

3.5.4.3
Risk Planning
Risks with level 1-3 priorities were defined as High Priority. For each of the high priority
risks in Table 4, a risk trigger was identified and a risk plan formulated (see Table 5). The risks
plans are grouped into three approaches: risk avoidance, risk mitigation, and risk acceptance
(includes a contingency plan[s]). All risk plans were evaluated for their potential impact on the
project and any new resulting risks identified and assessed. Only new risks with priority levels 13 priorities are shown.
3.5.4.4
Risk Management
Upon contract award, the Project Manager (PM) will meet with project personnel (resources)
on a weekly basis to review schedules and progress and to go over the projects high-priority risk
watch list. At the meeting, the project team will make an assessment on risk drivers to determine
if risk trigger events have occurred or are about to occur and formulate an action or contingency
plan accordingly. The meetings will also serve identify and assess any new risks as well as to
determine if the Risk Management Plan needs to revised or updated. Changes to the Risk
Management Plan will be communicated to CBMS in the monthly Contractor Progress, Status
and Management Report (CDRL A0001).

In collaboration with Tulane University, USAMRIID, Corgenix Medical Corp., Autoimmune
Technologies, LLC, and various partners in West Africa, BioFactura developed recombinant
reagents (viral antigens and monoclonal antibodies) for test kits for hemorrhagic fever diagnosis
under a $3.8 million grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Under the NIH
grant, Tulane led a three-year study designed to develop rapid diagnostic tests for viral
hemorrhagic fevers, some of which are caused by arenaviruses that are potential bioterrorism
agents due to their high fatality rate and ease of transmission from person-to-person. BioFactura
designed novel versions of viral protein subunits, created expression vectors, and manufactured
these subunits in mammalian cell culture for ELISA diagnostic kits. These kits were field
deployed in Sierra Leone and were demonstrated to accurately diagnose and monitor Lassa virus
infection. These virus subunit design and expression efforts are highly related to the proposed
work in the current submission.

5. COST SECTION
5.1
Overview
The following cost proposal provides a comprehensive budget estimate of the all the direct
and indirect project costs along with descriptions of the estimating techniques and allocation
methods employed. All individual costs elements have CWBS numbers that correlate directly to
the SOW, CWBS, and IMS. The summary cost proposal as well as the supporting detailed cost
center break-downs are shown by U.S. Government Fiscal Year (1 Oct-30 Sep). The Cost
Proposal was prepared using Microsoft Excel and an electronic cope is being provided with the
submission in a MS Excel 97-2004 compatible format.
5.2
Cost Proposal
Table 6 below shows the cost summary for the overall project. Direct and indirect costs are
shown by Government fiscal year. The project start date was set tentatively to June 1, 2012 for
budgeting purposes. The project duration is estimated at about 25 months with projection
completion on or about June 27, 2014. It should be noted, however, that the Company is
proposing to divide the project into four technical phases as each phase represents a key
technical milestone and a go/no-go decision point to proceed to the next phase.

Cost Elements
The following sections provide a cost-breakdown by CWBS number and by fiscal year as
well as the estimating and allocation techniques employed.
5.3.1 Direct Labor
Table 7 below provides a breakdown of direct base labor by fiscal year and CWBS number
down to level 6. In addition, the table has been divided into the four technical project phases (I IV) to provide estimated labor costs and man-hours for each phase.
The man-hours for each IMS element or work package (task/activity) were derived directly
from the IMS to ensure complete correlation between the IMS and the projects labor cost
estimate. Man-hours were generated in the IMS by assigning task durations and the individual
effort levels for all personnel involved in the task. The raw data from the Microsoft Project-based
IMS file was then extracted and transferred to a Microsoft Excel file to generate Table 3.5.4.1.
For the purposes of these labor calculations, one year was defined as 2,080 man-hours. The
hourly rates supplied in the following table are for base salaries, i.e. do not include fringe
benefits. A 25.5% fringe benefit rate was applied to obtain the loaded direct labor cost shown in
the Table 3.5.3.1 above. Base labor rates were based on historic rates except for the two manager
positions for which projected salary rates were used. A labor escalation factor was applied to
base labor rates on the first month of each new calendar year starting with January 2013. The
escalation factor is based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2012 Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) of 2.9%.

Travel
Table 11 provides a breakdown of travel costs by fiscal year and CWBS number down to
level 4. In addition, the table has been divided into the four technical project phases (I - IV) to
provide estimated travel costs for each phase.
The table includes two cost items. The first item is for travel reimbursement for two technical
product specialists from Vivalis (France), who will be travelling to the U.S. to provide hands-on
training on the EB66 cell line generation. The travel expenses consist of airfare, lodging, and car
rental. The training and product support for duration of the license is included in the EB66
license. The second item is for car mileage reimbursement for the Technical Project Manager to
travel from the Company (Rockville, MD) to USAMRIID (Fredrick, MD) to oversee and/or
assist with critical path tasks. The rate is based on the Internal Revenue Services 2012 car
mileage rate of 55.5 cents per mile.

based accounts, including but not limited to Life Technologies, Fisher Scientific, Sigma, VWR,
New England Biolabs, allows the Company to rapidly obtain price estimates and obtain the best
pricing.
5.3.12 Purchasing System
Based on the Companys and personnels extensive vendor experience in the biotechnology
industry, the Company has developed a core of vendors, which supply over 90% of its supplies
and materials needs. For the large vendors, such as Life Technologies and Fisher Scientific, from
which the Company orders the bulk of its supplies, the Company has negotiated small business
discounts and/or receives reduced shipping and handling fees. Purchasing is handled by the
Companys Chief Operating and Financial Officer (COO/CFO).
5.3.13 Accounting System
As BioFactura is a small business, the Companys COO/CFO also handles all routine
bookkeeping, and accounting using QuickBooks 2011 software. The COO/CFO also is
responsible for generating all client, grant, and contract budget projections. An accountant firm
reviews the Companys accounts on a regular basis and files all the necessary annual federal,
state, and property tax returns. Then Companys accounts in Quickbooks are maintained in
accrual basis (returns are filed on a cash basis).
Although, the Company has not been audited and approved by DCAA, the Company has
developed with its accountants an accounting system that was specifically designed to pass a
government audit and which is, to best of its knowledge, DCAA-acceptable. The accounting
system is divided into five cost pools: Direct Expenses, G&A, Fringe Benefits, Overhead, and
Unallowables. This allows for effective calculation of the G&A, fringe, and overhead rates, but
also ensures clear segregation of costs.
The direct expense account is further divided into contract services and R&D expenses to
distinguish between external and internal R&D projects. In addition, a class, customer and job
designation is assigned to all direct expense entries (accounts payables) and invoices (accounts
receivables). Finally, the Company employs a timesheet system that is broken into G&A and
direct expense sub-categories. The latter include individual R&D projects to enable separate
tracking of employees hours for each R&D project. Overall this accounting system allows for
completing accounting of each projects expenses and enables the Company to rapidly compare
these to budget projections.

Biography
Darryl Sampey co-founded BioFactura in 2001 and as President and CEO manages all
strategic and scientific endeavors of the Company including partnership/alliance building,
fundraising, intellectual property maintenance, contract research and development, platform
technology programs, and biopharmaceutical product development. To date, he has raised over
$6M in funding for BioFactura including the award of two Congressional Special Projects
(defense earmarks), and successfully transitioned a novel monoclonal antibody therapeutic
against smallpox from research to the pre-Investigational New Drug application stage. He is the
inventor and developer of BioFacturas VeriCyte Discovery and StableFast Biomanufacturing
Platforms. Before BioFactura, he led both process development and manufacturing teams at
Human Genome Sciences, Inc. (HGS). Mr. Sampey joined the protein development department
of HGS in 1998, and honed his skills developing new biologics processes and control strategies.
During his tenure with HGS, Mr. Sampey played key roles in the start-up, commissioning, and
validation of the companys first cGMP manufacturing facility and associated development
laboratories. Additionally, he performed lead roles in the development, transfer, and evaluation
of novel fermentation processes for cGMP clinical manufacturing. Prior to his work at HGS, Mr.
Sampey gained industrial experience in the commercial research laboratory designing and
optimizing fermentation and product recovery processes for novel vaccines at North American
Vaccine, Inc. His work in vaccine research has since progressed to internationally-approved
vaccines for whooping cough in infants and meningitis in adults. Darryl Sampey began his
career in biotechnology at the University of Maryland. During his undergraduate years, Mr.
Sampey pursued independent research in novel protein analysis technique under the advisement

Introduction to BioReliance
BioReliance specializes in biologics testing, cGMP cell bank and viral manufacturing,
toxicology and viral clearance services. With nearly 700 employees and 60 years
experience, BioReliance have the scientific expertise and regulatory knowledge to
partner our clients through clinical development and commercial testing. Over the
years, BioReliance has led the industry, including performing safety testing for the
first polio vaccine (1985), the first commercial mammalian-derived biologic (1981),
and the first gene therapy product to enter clinical trials (1990).
To ensure the safety of biopharmaceutical products produced in living cells, global
regulatory agencies require that cells used in the manufacture of these products be
banked and characterized to the highest possible standards. Therefore building in
quality at the first step in development is critical, ultimately leading to the success of
your project. BioReliances cell banking services offer a confident, convenient and
timely service in bioproduction from preliminary testing of seed stocks to preparing

The cell line starting material must be certified sterile and free from Mycoplasma
contamination prior to initiation of MCB production in a clean room suite. Therefore,
BioReliance recommends and requires screening of the Seed Material for Sterility and
Mycoplasma.
If the assays perform per specification, BioReliance will move to the next milestone
If further testing and/or repeats are required, BioReliance will work with the client to
determine the scope of that work and either amend this proposal or provide a separate

Storage Options
On successful completion of the vialing process, the cell bank(s) will be transferred to
BioReliances cGMP Inventory Management facility for temporary storage whilst release
testing of the cell bank(s) is conducted. This temporary storage is provided at no additional
cost to the client.
Once release testing on the bank(s) has completed with satisfactory results, the client is
required to provide disposition by indicating one of the options below:
1. The cell bank(s) should be stored in BioReliances cGMP BioRepository facility. The
client agrees to pay the storage costs noted on a separate quote to be generated after
the completion of the production of the bank. BioReliance will be responsible for
transfer of the cell bank(s) to the facility at no additional cost to the client.
2.
BioReliance should ship the cell bank(s) to a client designated cGMP facility. For
such transfer, the client will provide BioReliance with their preferred courier account
number.
*Note: Should disposition not be provided, continued storage at BioReliances cGMP Inventory
Management facility will be charged to the client at a rate of $1,000 per month from the
date release testing is completed. Further, if after 90 days from completion of release
testing the client still has not provided disposition the cell bank(s) will be transferred to
BioReliances cGMP BioRepository facility and the client will be charged at a rate of
$1,000 per month until client disposition is received.
Please note that BioReliances cGMP Inventory Management facility is not a long term
storage solution for client cell banks.

Section 6.5
EVALUATION LICENSE
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor grants to Licensee,
and Licensee hereby accepts, for the duration of the Term (as defined below) and for
the exclusive purpose of Licensees undertaking the Evaluation: a royalty-free, nonexclusive license, without the right to grant any sublicense to any third party, (i) under
any and all Licensor Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) necessary to
undertake such Evaluation and (ii) to use Licensors Proprietary Information.
2.
Subject to Section 3 below, neither party shall disclose to any third party or use for
any purposes other than the performance of the Evaluation, any and all, privileged
records or other proprietary information or materials disclosed by one party to the
other party pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, Proprietary Information),
without the prior written consent of the party whose Proprietary Information is being
disclosed. Each party shall use the other partys Proprietary Information solely in
furtherance of the Evaluation. Each party may disclose Proprietary Information to
employees requiring access thereto in furtherance of the Evaluation; provided that
prior to making any such disclosures each such employee shall be apprised of the
duty and obligation to maintain such Proprietary Information in confidence and to not
use such Proprietary Information for any purpose other than the Evaluation. All
Proprietary Information shall remain the sole property of the disclosing party. Except
as expressly provided under this Agreement, no right or license is granted by either
party solely by virtue of a partys disclosure of its Proprietary Information. Each party
shall treat the other partys Proprietary Information as it would treat its own
proprietary information, but in no event shall it use less than a reasonable degree of
care under the circumstances. The obligations of non-disclosure and non-use shall
not apply to the following: (a) information that, at the time of disclosure hereunder, is
BioFactura, Inc.
available to the public; (b) information that, after disclosure hereunder, becomes
available to the public, except through breach of this Agreement; (c) information that a
party can demonstrate through contemporaneous written records was in its
possession at the time of disclosure by the other party and that was not acquired from
such other party or any of such other partys affiliates; (d) information that becomes
available to a party from a third party that is not legally or contractually prohibited
from disclosing such information; (e) information that is independently developed by
the receiving party without reference to or use of the disclosing partys Proprietary
Information; or (f) information that is required to be disclosed by any law, regulation,
or order of court; provided that, prior to disclosing Proprietary Information of the other
party, the receiving party shall first make reasonable efforts to notify the disclosing
party and provide it with an opportunity to prevent or limit disclosure pursuant to
such law, regulation or court order. The terms of this Agreement supersede any
previous non-disclosure agreements or any other preliminary representations or
understandings that have been entered into by the parties to this Agreement with
regard to the Evaluation. Within ten (10) business days of the expiration or early
termination of this Agreement, each party shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) return
the other partys Proprietary Information or (ii) upon request by the other party,
destroy the other partys Proprietary Information and provide the other party written

APPENDIX A
STATEMENT OF WORK
Title: A Novel Production Process for the Manufacturing of VEE VRP Vaccines
Background: BioFactura has designed an improved scalable cell culture
bioprocess for the production of Virus Replicon Particle (VRP) vaccines based on
the attenuated strain of the replication defective VEE virus, V3014. BioFacturas
proposed production methods will not only speed up the advanced development
process leading to FDA approval for a broad range of VRP vaccines, but also
offer a significant reduction in cost and time over the current manufacturing
process.
Although the VEE VRP platform has proven to yield protective vaccines
for the range of filoviruses (Ebola, Marburg) and alphaviruses (WEE, VEE, and
EEE), the current process for production of VRPs is low yielding and poorly
scalable to cGMP manufacture. BioFacturas process will replace the currently
used adherent Vero cell line with a stable suspension Vero (sVero) cell line
(Zelltek) or stable suspension EB66 cell line (Vivalis) that expresses the VRP
structural proteins using a tightly controlled inducible promoter. Furthermore,
BioFacturas production process will replace the current bottleneck of
electroporation with a simple VRP transduction step to transport the replicon
coding for the pathogen genes of interest into the stable sVero or EB66 cell line.
Upon development and optimization, this process will provide a universal
scalable production method for any VEE VRP vaccine using a common stable
helper cell line and modular replicon induction step. Elements of this process
may also be applicable to other VRP- and VLP-based vaccines and platforms.
The current manufacturing process developed by AlphaVax has
demonstrated production yields of 2-6x10^11 Focus Forming Units (FFU) per
batch. Assuming a human dose of 10^10 FFU (based on the filovirus vaccines),
the current process yields 20-60 vaccine doses per batch. This level of
productivity is orders of magnitude below what would be considered acceptable
and economically feasible in the drug industry. BioFactura has identified several
key bottlenecks in the current manufacturing process including the use of
adherent Vero cells, the requirement of three plasmid co-transfection, and the
use of electroporation for the co-transfection. The most significant bottleneck in
the current AlphaVax-developed manufacturing process is the requirement for
the electroporation of the production Vero cell lines to initiate VRP generation.
For large-scale cGMP manufacture (>2000-2500 doses/batch), this step carries
high risks of contamination and process variability, and is prohibitively cost and
labor intensive. Other alternative methods utilizing liposome- and/or chemicalmediated transfection approaches also carry significant disadvantages and risks
such as low efficiency, high cost, and introduction of unwanted contaminants to
the process.
