 8.10 Accounting Procedures. For purposes of determining Development Costs and
Allowable Expenses, any expense allocated by either Party to a particular expense category of Development Costs or Allowable Expenses shall not also be allocated to another category under Development Costs or Allowable Expenses. Each Party shall
determine Development Costs and Allowable Expenses using its standard accounting procedures, consistently applied, to the maximum extent practicable as if the Collaboration Product were a solely-owned product of the Party (provided that the
application of such procedures results, on balance, in outcomes that are fair and equitable to both Parties taking into consideration the interests of both Parties as reflected in this Agreement). The Parties also recognize that such procedures may
change from time to time and that any such changes may affect the calculation of Development Costs, Allowable Expenses, and such other expenses. Where the change is or would be material to the other Party, the Party proposing to make the change
shall provide the other Party with an explanation of the proposed change and an estimation of the effect of the change on the relevant cost or expense category. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to negotiate any resulting changes to this
Agreement so as to preserve as closely as reasonably possible the Parties’ respective economic interests under this Agreement. Transfers between a Party and its Affiliates (or between such Affiliates) shall not have any effect for purposes of
calculating Development Costs, Allowable Expenses, or other payments or expenses under this Agreement. 
 8.11 Taxes. 

8.11.1 Each Party will make all payments to the other Party under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for Taxes except to
the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by law in effect at the time of payment. 
 8.11.2 Any Tax required to
be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will promptly be paid by the Party making the payment (the “Payor”) on behalf of the Party receiving the payment (the “Payee”) to the appropriate
Governmental Authority, and Payor will furnish Payee with proof of payment of such Tax. 
 8.11.3 Each Party agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other Party in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under double taxation or any similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so
withheld or deducted.  
 8.11.4 All amounts payable under or provided for in this Agreement shall be exclusive of any
amount in respect of VAT. If VAT is applicable on any amount payable under this Agreement and the reverse charge procedure does not apply, then the Payor shall pay an additional amount equal to VAT on that amount; provided it has first received a
valid invoice for the supply, save when the reverse charge procedure applies. Valid invoices must include all relevant information as stated in any applicable guideline or as defined by other local rules and regulations as the case may be.
 
 8.11.5 To the extent the activities of the Parties under this Agreement result in the recognition of a partnership for non-U.S. Tax purposes, the Parties agree that any non-U.S. Tax imposed at the level of the partnership on its profit (not including Tax required to be withheld to satisfy a
Party’s own income tax obligation) shall be allocated and borne by the Parties according to the partnership profit allocation under the respective applicable tax law.

Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 13.5.2, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not
obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs
of suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim. 
 13.5.2 Right to Participate in
Defense. Without limiting Section 13.5.1, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided,
however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, (b) the indemnifying Party has failed to
assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 13.5.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (c) the interests of the indemnitee and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party
Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

 13.5.3 Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money
damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to
indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole
discretion, shall deem appropriate; provided that the judgment, settlement or other disposition does not and will not (a) result in a finding or admission of any violation of any Applicable Law or any violation of the rights of any person, or
(b) result in the Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement being adversely affected. In all other cases, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 13.5.1, the
indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim; provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim; provided that the
Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

13.5.4 Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall, and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials
and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and
information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided
hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. 

13.5.5 Expenses. Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and
subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. 
 13.6
Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER BIONTECH OR GENENTECH BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INDIREKTE SCHÄDEN/MITTELBARE SCHÄDEN/WEITERE SCHÄDEN ALS SCHÄDEN MIT LANGEM KAUSALZUSAMMENHANG) OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(MANGELFOLGESCHÄDEN, SEKUNDÄRE SCHÄDEN, FOLGESCHÄDEN UND SCHÄDEN, DIE SICH AUS EINEM DIREKTEN SCHADEN/UNMITTELBAREN SCHADEN ERGEBEN) INCLUDING LOST PROFIT (ENTGANGENER GEWINN) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO BREACH OF THIS

 15.3
Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on the Parties from time to time. Each
Party agrees that it will not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export
requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity in accordance with Applicable Law. 

15.4 Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party may assign any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Either Party may assign this Agreement, in its entirety, to an acquirer of all its capital stock (by
reverse triangular merger or otherwise) or all or substantially all its assets relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the MDSA, provided, in each case, that the party to which this Agreement is assigned expressly agrees in writing to
assume and be bound by the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement and is also assigned the MDSA in its entirety in accordance with the terms of Section 10.3 of the MDSA. A copy of such writing shall be provided to the non-assigning Party within [***] days of the assignment. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and bind the Parties’ successors and assigns. Any assignment or delegation in

 15.6 Governing Law and Service. 

15.6.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict of
laws principles. For the avoidance of doubt, the joint ownership in the Collaboration IP, as a property right, shall be governed by the laws of Switzerland. The Parties hereby exclude from this Agreement the application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. 
 15.6.2 Service. Each Party further agrees that service of any
process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to its address set forth in Section 15.8.2 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit, or proceeding brought against it under this Agreement in any such court. 

15.7 Dispute Resolution. 

15.7.1 Internal Resolution. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including as otherwise expressly provided with
respect to audit disputes in Section 8.17, and Committee, Team or Working Group disputes as set forth in Article 2), any Disputes shall be first referred to a [***] for resolution, prior to proceeding under the other provisions of
Section 15.7. A Dispute shall be referred to such executives upon one Party providing the other Party with notice that such Dispute exists, and such executives (or their designees) shall attempt to resolve such Dispute through good faith
discussions. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved within [***] days of such other Party’s receipt of such notice, subject to Section 15.7.3, either Party may initiate the Dispute resolution provisions in Section 15.7.2. 

15.7.2 Arbitration. 
 (a)
Rules. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including under Section 15.7.3), the Parties agree that any Dispute not resolved internally by the Parties pursuant to Section 15.7.1 shall be finally resolved through
binding arbitration according to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Rules of Arbitration, as applicable on the date of commencement of the arbitration proceedings. Place of arbitration shall be Zurich, Switzerland. Exclusive language of the
proceedings shall be English. In addition to the ICC Rules of Arbitration, the procedural law in force at the seat of arbitration shall apply. 

(b) Arbitrators; Language. Each Party shall select [***], and the [***] so selected shall choose a [***]. All [***] arbitrators shall
serve as neutrals and have at least ten (10) years of (i) dispute resolution experience (which may include judicial experience) or (ii) legal or business experience in the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry. In any event, at
least one (1) arbitrator shall satisfy the foregoing experience requirement under clause (ii). If a Party fails to nominate its arbitrator, or if the Parties’ arbitrators cannot agree on the [***], the necessary appointments shall be made
in accordance 

  
 - 113 - 















			
	Confidential	  	Execution Copy

  

 
with the Rules. Once an arbitrator is appointed by a Party, such Party shall have no ex parte communication with its appointed arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings and all pleadings and
written evidence shall be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in another language shall be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or a true copy thereof. 

(c) Procedures; Awards. Each Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to make all of its current employees available, if reasonably
needed, and agrees that the arbitrators may deem any party as “necessary.” The arbitrators shall be instructed and required to render a written, binding, non-appealable resolution and award on each
issue that clearly states the basis upon which such resolution and award is made. The written resolution and award shall be delivered to the Parties as expeditiously as possible, but in no event more than [***] days after conclusion of the hearing,
unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Judgment upon such award may be entered in any competent court or application may be made to any competent court for judicial acceptance of such an award and order for enforcement. Each Party agrees that,
notwithstanding any provision of applicable law or of this Agreement, it will not request, and the arbitrators shall have no authority to award any damages for which a Party may not be liable to the other Party under Section 13.6. 

(d) Costs. The “prevailing” Party, as determined by the arbitrators, shall be entitled to (i) its share of fees and
expenses of the arbitrators and (ii) its attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses. In determining which Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators shall consider (A) the significance, including the financial impact, of the
claims prevailed upon and (B) the scope of claims prevailed upon, in comparison to the total scope of the claims at issue. If the arbitrators determine that, given the scope of the arbitration, neither Party “prevailed,” the
arbitrators shall order that the Parties (x) share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and (y) bear their own attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses. 

(e) Interim Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 15.7.2, in the event that a Party
reasonably requires relief on a more expedited basis than would be possible pursuant to the procedure set forth in Article 15, such Party may seek a temporary injunction or other interim equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction pending
the opportunity of the arbitrators to review the decision under this Section 15.7.2. Such court shall have no jurisdiction or ability to resolve Disputes beyond the specific issue of temporary injunction or other interim equitable relief.
 
 (f) Protective Orders; Arbitrability. At the request of either Party, the arbitrators shall enter an appropriate
protective order to maintain the confidentiality of information produced or exchanged in the course of the arbitration proceedings. The arbitrators shall have the power to decide all questions of arbitrability. 

(g) Expedited Dispute Resolution Procedure. In the event that a Breaching Party under Section 14.2 disputes that it has committed
a Material Breach or a dispute arises under Section 4.5.4(g), and such dispute is not resolved pursuant to Section 15.7.1, then non-breaching Party under Section 14.2 or the objecting Party
under Section 15.7.2(g) may invoke the expedited dispute resolution procedure set forth in Schedule  

  
 - 114 - 















			
	Confidential	  	Execution Copy

  

 
15.7.2(g). In such a case, the expedited dispute resolution shall be limited to the issues, as applicable, of (i) whether a Material Breach was committed, whether a cure is possible
and what actions the Breaching Party must complete to effect such cure or (ii) compliance with Applicable Law in connection with a Clinical Study Conducted by BioNTech. In such a case, any other issues may be resolved through the standard
arbitration provisions set forth herein. 
 15.7.3 Subject Matter Exclusions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.7.2,
any Dispute not resolved internally by the Parties pursuant to Section 15.7.1 that involves the validity, infringement or enforceability of a Patent included in a license granted in this Agreement (a) that is issued in the United States
shall be subject to actions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or submitted exclusively to the federal court located in the jurisdiction of the district where any of the defendants reside and (b) that is issued in any other
country (or region) shall be brought before an appropriate regulatory or administrative body or court in that country (or region), and in all cases, the Parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts and bodies. 

15.8 Notices. 
 15.8.1
Notice Requirements. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any notice required under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement and shall be sent in accordance with the provisions of this

 15.10 English Language. This Agreement shall be written and executed in, and
all other documents or communications issued or created under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict
in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control. 
 15.11 Equitable
Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Article 10 and Article 11 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered
into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Articles may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event
of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether
preliminary or permanent, specific performance, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity. Both Parties agree to waive any requirement that the other (a) post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief, and (b) show
irreparable harm, balancing of harms, consideration of the public interest, or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy. Nothing in this Section 15.11 is intended, or should be construed, to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief
or any other remedy for a breach of any other provision of this Agreement. 
 15.12 Amendment; Waiver. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment to this Agreement, including this Section 15.12, shall be effective unless made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of each Party. A Party’s failure to exercise, or
delay in exercising, any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement shall not (a) operate as a waiver thereof or (b) operate as a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. A waiver will be effective only upon the
written consent of the Party granting such waiver. 
 15.13 No Benefit to Third Parties. Except as provided in Article
13, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and they shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other Persons. 

15.14 Further Assurance. Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such
further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this
Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof, or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

 15.15 Relationship of the Parties. Except as provided in Section8.13.4,
it is expressly agreed that BioNTech, on the one hand, and Genentech, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between BioNTech and Genentech shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency. Neither
BioNTech, on the one hand, nor Genentech, on the other hand, shall have the authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent
of the other Party to do so. It is expressly agreed that each Party shall solely act in its own name when dealing with any Third Party. All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and all costs and
obligations incurred by reason of any such employment shall be for the account and expense of such Party.
 15.16 Counterparts; Facsimile
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile (including a PDF image
delivered via email) of this Agreement, including the signature pages hereto, will be deemed to be an original. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall deliver original execution copies of this Agreement to one another as soon as
practicable following execution thereof. 
 15.17 References. Unless otherwise specified, (a) references in this
Agreement to any Article, Section or Schedule shall mean references to such Article, Section or Schedule of this Agreement, (b) references in any Section to any clause are references to such clause of such Section, and (c) references to
any agreement, instrument, or other document in this Agreement refer to such agreement, instrument, or other document as originally executed or, if subsequently amended, replaced, or supplemented from time to time, as so amended, replaced, or
supplemented and in effect at the relevant time of reference thereto. 
 15.18 Schedules. In the event of any inconsistencies
between this Agreement and any schedules or other attachments hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
 15.19
Construction. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders and the word “or” is used
in the inclusive sense (and/or). Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, unless otherwise specified, such number refers to calendar days. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define,
describe, extend, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. The term “including,” “include,” or “includes” as used herein shall mean including, without
limiting the generality of any description preceding such term. The term “comprising” (or “comprise,” or “comprises” as used herein) shall mean “comprising, without limitation”. The language of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party hereto. The phrase “by or on behalf” of a Party is not intended to include activities conducted by
the other Party or its Affiliates or Sublicensees hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement. The term “incurred” includes “accrued”. Where a provision refers to the consent or agreement of a Party, then the consent of either
entity included within such Party shall be deemed consent of both entities included within such Party.

Form of Press Release 

BioNTech to enter into worldwide strategic collaboration with Genentech to develop individualized mRNA cancer therapies 

Collaboration will draw upon Genentech’s leading position in cancer immunotherapy and BioNTech’s premier clinical mRNA vaccine
platform 
 Mainz, Germany September 21, 2016: BioNTech AG, a fully integrated private biotechnology company developing personalized cancer
immunotherapies, today announced that it will enter into a worldwide strategic collaboration with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, to develop, manufacture and commercialize novel messenger RNA (mRNA)-based, individualized cancer vaccines. The
collaboration will combine Genentech’s leading cancer immunotherapy portfolio and research program with BioNTech’s proprietary mRNA cancer vaccine technology platform, and personalized medicine expertise. Together, the two companies will
develop individually tailored cancer immunotherapies against a broad range of cancers to potentially provide a new treatment paradigm for cancer patients. 

The collaboration will focus on the development of mRNA cancer vaccines targeting neoantigens, based upon BioNTech’s Individualized
Vaccines Against Cancer (IVAC®) MUTANOME clinical platform for the potential treatment of multiple cancers. A patient’s cancer genome can be rapidly sequenced with
next generation technology to define a spectrum of unique mutations known as “neoantigens” or “neoepitopes” present in a particular patient’s tumor (the “mutanome”). An mRNA vaccine encoding selected neoepitopes
can be manufactured for each individual tumor’s mutanome signature, which may trigger an immune response highly specific to the tumor resulting in precisely targeted cancer cell death. 

Initial clinical development will focus on combination studies using IVAC® MUTANOME in a variety
of cancer types. 
 Under the terms of the agreement Genentech will pay BioNTech $310 million in upfront and near-term milestone payments. The two
companies will equally share all development costs and any potential profits for certain programs under the agreement. BioNTech has the right to co-promote certain products that arise from the agreement in the
United States and certain countries, including Germany and other major European markets. Under certain circumstances, BioNTech may have sole commercialization rights for other products that Genentech elects not to commercialize. BioNTech will
manufacture mRNA cancer vaccines for clinical studies. Genentech will manufacture mRNA cancer vaccines for commercial supply and BioNTech will have the right to manufacture commercial product as part of the global supply network.

 Professor Dr. Ugur Sahin, CEO of BioNTech AG commented: “We are delighted to
collaborate with a leading cancer immunotherapy company such as Genentech. Supported by its extensive tumor immunology understanding, BioNTech has been building clinical experience with its proprietary mRNA vaccines in a number of cancer types over
several years. Combining BioNTech’s broad proprietary capabilities in the design, formulation, manufacturing and clinical testing of individualized neoantigens-based mRNA vaccines with Genentech’s eminent cancer immunotherapy, diagnostic,
manufacturing and commercial expertise, will allow us, on a global scale, to drive forward the development of individualized vaccines to the market to treat a broad range of cancers. Sean Marett, COO of BioNTech added: ”This alliance
underpins BioNTech’s strategy of collaborating with companies that are committed to developing truly disruptive immunotherapies and its long term ambitions of bringing its own products to market .” 

“Unlike any medicine we have ever developed, virtually all cancer patients may potentially benefit from a custom built cancer vaccine,” said
James Sabry, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Global Head of Genentech Partnering. “By collaborating with BioNTech on this cutting edge approach, we hope to truly advance cancer treatments by using a common molecular backbone
– mRNA – that is uniquely tailored to an individual patient.” 
 BioNTech will continue to develop its
non-neoepitope mRNA cancer vaccines outside of the collaboration. 
 The completion of the agreement is subject to
customary closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, and is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2016.
