 PREAMBLE 
  

	A.	 BIONTECH is a company which, jointly with its subsidiaries, is mainly active in the development of innovative
molecular immune therapies as well as diagnostic approaches based on biomarkers aimed at an individual treatment of cancer and other serious diseases. 


  

	B.	 TRON is a company founded by the UNIVERSITÄT MAINZ, the Universitätsmedizin der Johannes
Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz (hereinafter referred to as “UNIVERSITY MEDICINE”), Professor Dr. Ugur Sahin and the federal state of Rhineland Palatinate which is active in the research in the fields of oncology and
immunology with the aim of obtaining results from universities and to implement them in the practice. 


  

	C.	 TRON works closely with the UNIVERSITY MEDICINE. The UNIVERSITY MEDICINE takes over a part of the tasks which
TRON must fulfil in the scope of a cooperation with THIRD PARTIES based on the Cooperation Agreement dated 15 January 2010 concluded with TRON, depending on the specifications applicable in each individual case. 



 

	D.	 BIONTECH, UNIVERSITY MAINZ and Ganymed Pharmaceuticals GmbH have been cooperating for many years and have
jointly achieved developments results, recently on the basis of the OLD COOPERATION AGREEMENT (as defined below). After the OLD COOPERATION AGREEMENT entered into force, the companies BioNTech RNA Pharmaceuticals GmbH, BioNTech Diagnostics GmbH,
BioNTech Protein Therapeutics GmbH and BioNTech Cell & Gene Therapies GmbH were founded as subsidiaries of BIONTECH in March 2009 which have, since then, also cooperated with Ganymed Pharmaceuticals GmbH and the UNIVERSITY MAINZ. The OLD
COOPERATION AGREEMENT was terminated based on the separate LICENSING AGREEMENT (as defined below). This AGREEMENT replaces the cooperation between BIONTECH and the UNIVERSITY MAINZ under the OLD COOPERATION AGREEMENT, where TRON is, in relation to
BIONTECH or in relation to any company of the BIONTECH SUBSIDIARIES, responsible for rendering research services which needed to be performed by the UNIVERSITY MEDICINE prior to the effectiveness of this AGREEMENT on the basis of the OLD COOPERATION
AGREEMENT. 















	E.	 The companies of the BIONTECH GROUP intent to claim the research services of TRON on a regular basis.
Therefore, this AGREEMENT provides for the framework conditions for research services which TRON renders to a company of the BIONTECH GROUP. In the scope of this cooperation, the PARTIES will conclude individual orders with the relevant research
services on the basis of this AGREEMENT.

in context of the PROJECT objectives agreed for each individual case. 


  

	1.4	 “VALID CLAIM” means a claim which is granted and has not been cancelled or was not declared
null and void in a legally binding manner by the expiry of the protection period or by the withdrawal of the relevant patent. In case of pending patent applications, a VALID CLAIM shall apply for the duration of [***] years from the priority of the
relevant patent, unless an application for verification was filed before, however for no longer than a period of [***] years from the priority of the relevant patent for as long as no patent was granted. 















	1.5	 “CALENDAR YEAR” means a year which starts on 01 Jan. and ends on the subsequent 31 Dec.



  

	1.6	 “LICENSING AGREEMENT” means the Licensing Agreement between BIONTECH, TRON, UNIVERSITY

the RESULTS and the duty of secrecy of the companies of the BIONTECH GROUP comprises the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and the TRON IMPROVEMENTS, unless any use of TRON IMPROVEMENTS is covered by the license under Art. 4.6 and 4.7. CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION also comprises the contents of this AGREEMENT, of its Annexes and of any associated agreements, if any, such as quality agreements. 


  

	1.19	 “PRE-EXISTING KNOWLEDGE” means all industrial property
rights, the know-how, technologies and other knowledge of TRON, insofar as TRON is entitled to dispose of them and which could be useful for performing a PROJECT, but which were already achieved prior to its
start. 


  

	2.	 Performance of PROJECTS 



 

	2.1	 The PROJECTS should generally be agreed between a company of the BIONTECH GROUP and TRON by the conclusion of
an individual order. Even AFFILIATED COMPANIES of BIONTECH which are added after the conclusion of this AGREEMENT shall be entitled to agree on individual orders with TRON on the basis of this AGREEMENT. 



The following should be agreed, as a minimum, in the individual order between TRON and the company of the BIONTECH GROUP which orders the
relevant PROJECT SERVICES: tasks, scope and targets of the PROJECT SERVICES to be rendered by TRON and their start, end and time sequence, the remuneration and the cooperation of the company of the BIONTECH GROUP, if appropriate. 

Prior to agreeing on a PROJECT on the basis of an individual order, TRON will normally provide an offer to the company of the BIONTECH GROUP
which wishes to use the PROJECT SERVICES of TRON in the context of a PROJECT, following a relevant request for an offer issued by the company of the BIONTECH GROUP, and such offer shall set out the scope of the services and the costs in a final
manner. 
 The sample of an individual order is attached hereto in Annex 1. 

For PROJECTS in the field of applied research, TRON and the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP may already bindingly agree on the
provisions of the scope of activities and duties in the context of the overall project plan as defined in Art. 2.2; in this case, no separate individual order as defined above shall be required by way of exception. However the overall project plan
should, in this case, already specify in a sufficiently concrete manner the scope, period and costs for the relevant PROJECT, so that the activities owed by TRON as well as the other conditions mentioned above are understandable for the PARTIES. The
overall project plan can only be bindingly accepted in accordance with this section by the commercial managing director for TRON and by the chief financial officer of BIONTECH on the part of the BIONTECH GROUP. 













	2.2	 The PARTIES will, in regular intervals, however at least no later than at the beginning of the fourth quarter
of any CALENDAR YEAR prepare an overall project plan as Annex 2 to this AGREEMENT, which includes any and all planned PROJECTS and PROJECT SERVICES to be rendered by TRON, the relevant individual budget and the costs as well as the
schedule for the PROJECTS for the subsequent CALENDAR YEAR, in order to support, as far as possible, a concrete and early initial agreement between the PARTIES on PROJECT SERVICES to be rendered in the future and to determine the capacities of TRON
to be applied for this purpose. The initiative for the PROJECTS covered by this overall project plan shall be made by BIONTECH, where the overall project plan will be prepared and issued in close coordination between the PARTIES. Insofar as
necessary due to changed circumstances, the PARTIES should, in the meantime, also strive for an adaptation of the overall project plan according to the plans and tasks which are applicable at the relevant time. 



The discussions regarding the overall project plan will always be conducted by the commercial managing director on the part of TRON and by the
chief financial officer of BIONTECH on the part of the BIONTECH GROUP. 
 The overall project plan serves exclusively for planning purposes
and shall be non-binding, unless individual specifications are explicitly determined as binding in the overall project plan (in particular in the field applied research). Binding orders and remunerations will
be provided for the individual orders. The individual orders might, insofar, deviate from the non-binding specifications set forth in the overall project plan. Unless otherwise provided for in the overall
project plan or the individual orders (in accordance with Art. 2.1, last paragraph), the remunerations agreed in the overall project plan and the individual orders are fixed prices or maximum remunerations for certain research services. 

 

	2.3	 This Master Agreement does not justify a claim of TRON for receiving orders on a certain scope of the PROJECT
SERVICES and does not contain an obligation of TRON to provide certain personnel or technical capacities. 


  

	2.4	 The PARTIES will provide each other with all the information required for performing the PROJECT SERVICES. The
documents and materials provided to a PARTY are leased and are subject to the duty of secrecy set forth in Art. 7. They shall be used exclusively for the purposes of this AGREEMENT or of the PROJECT and shall be returned to the relevant PARTY after
the completion of the PROJECT. 


  

	2.5	 TRON shall be entitled, with the written consent of the other PARTY with whom the PROJECT was agreed, to engage
THIRD PARTIES for rendering individual PROJECT SERVICES. The consent of the companies of BIONTECH GROUP shall be deemed to be given for the UNIVERSITY MEDICINE and UNIVERSITY MAINZ. TRON will enter into
Non-Disclosure Agreements as defined in Art. 7 with the THIRD PARTIES before information and materials are forwarded. 















	2.6	 The relevant PARTIES will each appoint one competent project manager no later than [***] days after the
conclusion of each individual order and will inform the other PARTY of the name of the project manager. The project managers are contacts for the performance of the relevant PROJECT. 



 

	2.7	 The relevant affected company of the BIONTECH GROUP shall be entitled to suggest changes of the PROJECTS which
it has agreed with TRON in terms of their contents and/or time. TRON will inform the affected company of the BIONTECH GROUP of changes of PROJECTS which are necessary or appropriate in their opinion. PROJECTS will be changedon the basis of a written
change request of the affected company of the BIONTECH GROUP. TRON will support the affected company of the BIONTECH GROUP, to the best of its abilities, in the preparation of a change request and will provide all necessary information as soon as
possible. Any change of a PROJECT will take effect, unless TRON objects to the change request, in writing, within a period of [***] weeks after having received the change request. 



 

	3.	 Obligations of the Parties 



 

	3.1	 TRON will render the PROJECT SERVICES by observing the scientific standards, all applicable laboratory and
legal provisions and with the care customary in the industry. It will use the necessary time and the required qualified personnel to handle the PROJECT SERVICES in the time prescribed with the best possible result. TRON will properly document and
keep the contents and results of the work it has performed, including raw data. In addition to the individual order, the PARTIES will enter into quality agreements with contain the specific regulatory standards and requirements for the PROJECT
SERVICES for PROJECT SERVICES rendered in the field of clinical research (e.g. if a company of the BIONTECH GROUP acts as sponsor of a clinical study). 


  

	3.2	 BIONTECH will provide TRON with the devices which are not available to TRON or the UNIVERSITY MEDICINE and
which are necessary for performing the PROJECTS, according to an individual agreement and free of charge, insofar as that is reasonable. The PARTIES will inform each other through their project managers about all processes, problems, novelties and
technical and scientific findings which relate to the PROJECT. 


  

	3.3	 TRON will inform the company of theBIONTECH GROUP with whom it has agreed on the PROJECT, in detail, about the
status of the PROJECT SERVICES and about the RESULTS which have been achieved (as well as about TRON IMPROVEMENTS, if any, insofar as they are relevant in view of the PROJECT objective) and it will provide copies of the research documents to assess
the RESULTS. In addition, TRON shall provide the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP, at its request, with written intermediate reports about the PROJECT SERVICES and the RESULTS achieved during the performance of the PROJECT to a reasonable
extent. TRON will prepare and hand over the intermediate reports to the best of its abilities within the time, in the form and scope prescribed by the company of the BIONTECH GROUP. If the relevant PARTIES detect that the objective of any of the
PROJECTS cannot be achieved or cannot be achieved as planned, they will immediately inform each other thereof. 















	3.4	 After the completion of a PROJECT, TRON will provide the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP with whom the
PROJECT was agreed, with a final report within [***] days, unless otherwise agreed in an individual case; this report must present the RESULTS achieved by TRON and other findings relevant for the PROJECT and contains the documents, manufacturer
instructions and research documents, including electronic data, which were created. Insofar as TRON has prepared materials in the context of the PROJECT and unless otherwise agreed in the individual case, also the materials shall be provided to the
relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP. Insofar as relevant TRON IMPROVEMENTS were generated in the context of the PROJECT in view of the PROJECT objectives, TRON will also present the TRON IMPROVEMENTS in the final report. 



 

	4.	 Industrial Property Rights and Copyrights, Rights to Results 



 

	4.1	 If TRON achieves RESULTS in the context of PROJECTS which are capable of being protected, TRON will immediately
inform the company of the BIONTECH GROUP with whom the PROJECT was agreed about such fact in writing, by sending a notification of an invention to the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP. The relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP shall be
exclusively entitled to the RESULTS which are capable of being protected, the documentation relating thereto and the material produced in the context of a PROJECT; and the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP is solely entitled to commercial
exploit the RESULTS. For the avoidance of doubt: TRON shall not be entitled to use the RESULTS, regardless of the purpose. 


  

	4.2	 TRON hereby transfers their rights to the RESULTS to the company of the BIONTECH GROUP with whom the PROJECT
under Art. 2.1 was agreed, and the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP accepts the transfer. TRON will support the BIONTECH GROUP regarding all questions relating to the ownership of the RESULTS and the patent applications for the RESULTS, to the
best of its abilities. Insofar as TRON has reasonable grounds to be of the opinion that the expenses arising therefrom for TRON are unreasonable in view of the scope of the relevant PROJECT and the remuneration paid by BIONTECH for that purpose,
TRON will inform the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP in advance, and TRON and the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP will then, in an amicable manner, agree on the reimbursement of the costs which arise for TRON. The relevant company of
the BIONTECH GROUP shall be entitled to file applications for industrial property rights in their own name and to maintain, defend and enforce them toward THIRD PARTIES. 



 

	4.3	 TRON undertakes to use the RESULTS of its employees which are capable of being protected by industrial property
rights without restrictions or to only release them with the prior written consent of the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP. TRON will subject its sub- contractors, in particular the UNIVERSITY MEDICINE,
to the same commitments, insofar as permitted by law, and ensure that TRON will become the owner of the RESULTS which are achieved by the subcontractors (in particular the UNIVERSITY MEDICINE). TRON or its
sub-















	 	
contractors are responsible for the remuneration for RESULTS achieved by employees of TRON or its subcontractors which are capable of being protected by industrial property rights under employee
invention laws. Insofar as the employee of TRON has an effective and enforceable claim to a remuneration under employee invention laws for RESULTS which are capable of being protected by industrial property rights toward TRON which is not calculated
on the basis of the compensation to which TRON is entitled for the relevant RESULT which is capable of being protected by industrial property rights or which exceeds this calculation basis and which is neither based on an agreement between TRON and
the relevant employee nor on a relevant determination made by TRON, the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP will indemnify TRON in the amount of the difference. 


 

	4.4	 TRON will ensure that persons who are not in an employment relationship with TRON or one of its subcontractors,
will only be involved in PROJECTS, if they have made a declaration in accordance with the sample attached to this AGREEMENT in Annex 3. 


  

	4.5	 If TRON achieves, in the context of PROJECTS, any TRON IMPROVEMENTS which are capable of being protected by
industrial property rights, TRON will inform the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP about that fact in writing in due time and will send a notification of an invention to the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP. TRON will provide the relevant
company of the BIONTECH GROUP, at the latter’s request, with a data package which contains all information and other data on the TRON IMPROVEMENTS which are necessary for a company of the BIONTECH GROUP for the scope of application of the
license in accordance with Art. 4.6 (2). 


 Insofar as it is disputed between TRON and the relevant company of BIONTECH
GROUP (or another company of the BIONTECH GROUP) whether it is a TRON IMPROVEMENT, the PARTIES will make all efforts to bring about an amicable clarification of the matter. 
  

	4.6	 TRON shall exclusively be entitled to TRON IMPROVEMENTS; and in the relation between the PARTIES, TRON shall
solely be entitled to commercially exploit the TRON IMPROVEMENTS. With regard to the transfer to TRON and the filing of applications for industrial property rights for TRON IMPROVEMENTS, the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP shall, mutatis
mutandis, have the obligations to which TRON is obliged under Art. 4.2—4.4. With regard to the indemnification for remunerations under employee invention laws for TRON IMPROVEMENTS which are capable of being protected by industrial property
rights and the expense allowance for the support in applying for TRON IMPROVEMENTS which are capable of being protected by industrial property rights, TRON shall, mutatis mutandis, have the obligations to which the relevant company of the BIONTECH
GROUP is obliged in accordance with Art. 4.2 - 4.4. 


 Insofar as that is necessary (i) for the continued development
and exploitation of RESULTS (in particular for the manufacturing and/or marketing of CONTRACT PRODUCTS) and/or (ii) for the development, manufacturing or marketing of products which are based on results in which BIONTECH has licenses on the
basis of the LICENSING AGREEMENT, TRON will grant BIONTECH, already in this AGREEMENT, a non-exclusive, free of charge (subject to Art. 5.5), irrevocable right to use the TRON IMPROVEMENTS with the right to
grant sublicenses. Each 












 
time sub-licenses are granted to another company of the BIONTECH GROUP or a THIRD PARTY, BIONTECH will inform TRON thereof, in writing. In relation to
TRON, such a sub- license will only become effective when TRON receives this information. 
 For the
avoidance of doubt: the licenses under the LICENSING AGREEMENT shall remain unaffected thereby. 
  

	4.7	 Insofar as PRE-EXISTING KNOWLEDGE of TRON is necessary to be able to
use the RESULTS transferred according to the Articles 4.1 and 4.2 (and those documented under Art. 3.4, if any), TRON grants the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP an irrevocable, non-exclusive license
thereto with the right to grant sub-licenses to use them for the purposes of the relevant PROJECT or the RESULTS transferred according to Articles 4.1 and 4.2. The licence shall be deemed to be paid with the
payments under Art. 5.5. For the avoidance of doubt: the licenses under the LICENSING AGREEMENT shall remain unaffected thereby. 


  

	5.	 Remuneration, Payment Terms 



 

	5.1	 To ensure that the start of the PROJECT SERVICES within the first three CALENDAR YEARS will not be jeopardized
due to liquidity reasons, BIONTECH will pay to TRON within the first three CALENDAR YEARS at each 10th January of the running CALENDAR YEAR a pre-payment of [***] of the total amount of the compensation that
is agreed according to Art 5.2. This amount will be offset with the invoice for the month December. Insofar the liquidity of TRON is ensured, this pre-payment will not apply. 



 

	5.2	 Unless otherwise agreed, the PROJECT SERVICES whose subject is the field of applied research, will be invoiced
by TRON in accordance with Art. 5.3. Unless explicitly otherwise agreed, the total amount agreed for the relevant PROJECT of applied research in the overall project plan shall be deemed to be a fixed price or a maximum remuneration for the relevant
PROJECT SERVICES. Deviating agreements can only be made between the commercial managing director of TRON and the chief financial officer of BIONTECH. 



For other PROJECTS, the remuneration for the PROJECT SERVICES will be bindingly agreed in the individual agreement between the relevant
PARTIES, where the overall project plan should comprise these other PROJECTS in accordance with Art. 2.2. 
  

	5.3	 Notwithstanding any deviating agreement, the PROJECT SERVICES whose subject is the field of applied research,
will be invoiced at [***], by taking into consideration the provisions under Art. 5.2 for each [***], plus a profit surcharge which is included (hereinafter referred to as “Cost”). The total number of hours which were worked for the
PROJECT SERVICES in [***] and the relevant personnel expenses will be disclosed under the caption Personnel Expenses. 



Cost of materials will be separately disclosed in the invoice and charged in form of individual cost of materials and individual research
services, insofar as they can be allocated to one PROJECT. 












 Costs for animal experiments and the use of the Next Generation Sequencing Machine (NGS)
will also be disclosed separately in the invoice and invoiced, insofar as that is possible. 
  

	5.4	 TRON will invoice the PROJECT SERVICES of each [***] toward the company of BIONTECH GROUP with whom the PROJECT
was agreed, no later than at the end of the [***] calendar day of the subsequent [***]. The remuneration will be due for payment on a [***] basis no later than on the [***] calendar day after receipt of the invoice to the bank account specified by
TRON. 


  

	5.5	 As a compensation for the rights to the PROJECT PATENTS in accordance with Art. 4, the company of BIONTECH
GROUP with whom TRON has agreed on the PROJECT, will pay a compensation for the CONTRACT PRODUCTS that are covered by a VALID CLAIM and sold by itself of its licensees (resp. sub-licensees) to THIRD PARTIES in
the amount of 


  

	 	(i)	 [***] percent ([***]%) of the NET SALES of the CONTRACT PROUCT up to an amount of an annual NET SALES per
CONTRACT PRODUCT of [***] ([***]) 


 and 
  

	 	(ii)	 [***] percent ([***]%) of the NET SALES of the CONTRACT PRODUCT to the extent that the annual NET SALES per
CONTRACT PRODUCT exceeds [***] ([***]). 


  

	5.6	 If a company of the BIONTECH-GROUP is obliged to pay a compensation according to the LICENSE AGREEMENT for the
sale of a CONTRACT PRODUCT, the compensation according to Art 5.5 of this AGREEMENT for this CONTRACT PRODUCT that is subject to payment will not apply. For sake of clarity: In this event only the compensation according to the LICENSE AGREEMENT will
apply and there is no further or additional payment obligation according to this AGREEMENT. 


  

	5.7	 The company of BIONTECH GROUP will inform TRON of the remunerations to be paid to TRON for each calendar
quarter by a company of BIONTECH GROUP in accordance with Art. 


 5.5 within [***] after the end of the previous calendar
quarter. The relevant payment to TRON shall be due for payment within another [***], however no later than after the end of [***] months after the expiry of the previous calendar quarter. 

All payments and royalties must be made in Euro plus the applicable valid added tax. If NET SALES PRICES are received in foreign currency, they
shall be converted using the exchange rate published by the European Central Bank at 3:00 pm of the last business day of the relevant billing period. Each payment shall fall due within [***] work days after the end of the calendar quarter to which
the payment relates. 
  

	5.8	 Each company of BIONTECH GROUP will keep all records such as books, documents and data which are necessary to
determine the correctness and completeness of the billings in accordance with the principles of proper accounting. TRON shall, after a reasonable notice in advance, be entitled to have these books, documents and data audited [***] per year during
the 















	 	
general office hours of companies of BIONTECH GROUP by their auditor. TRON will bear the costs of the auditor, unless the audit reveals that a difference of [***] or more exists to the
detriment of TRON between the billing of a company of BIONTECH GROUP and that of the auditor, in this event, the costs shall be borne by BIONTECH. Difference amounts are due for payment immediately. 


 

	6.	 Warranty, Liability 



 

	6.1	 TRON undertakes that, after the conclusion of an individual order in accordance with Art. 2.1, it will not
conclude any agreements with THIRD PARTIES which might restrict them in relation to the PROJECT SERVICES to be rendered. 


  

	6.2	 The PARTIES will inform each other about industrial property rights and copyrights of THIRD PARTIES which they
are aware of or which become known to them and which might be violated by the use of the RESULTS. They will amicably decide whether and in what way any rights of THIRD PARTIES need to be taken into consideration in the context of PROJECTS.



  

	6.3	 If a claim is asserted against a PARTY due to the fact that third party property rights are violated by the use
of results generated on the basis of this AGREEMENT in compliance with the Agreement, the relevant PARTY will immediately inform the other PARTY thereof. If the attacked PARTY defends itself against the alleged violations, the other PARTY will
support it to the best of its abilities. 















	6.4	 The relevant companies of BIONTECH GROUP and TRON will be liable toward each other only for intent and gross
negligence. In case of gross negligence, the liability for indirect damage, consequential damage and lost profits shall be excluded. 


  

	6.5	 The company of BIONTECH GROUP which agreed on the PROJECT with TRON undertakes to indemnify TRON of all product
liability claims in connection with the CONTRACT PRODUCTS and of all claims of THIRD PARTIES which are asserted because the RESULTS violate THIRD PARTY property rights. The relevant company of BIONTECH GROUP is, however, only obliged to the
indemnification under the following conditions: (i) TRON informs the relevant company of the BIONTECH GROUP immediately in writing about claims which were asserted; (ii) the relevant company of BIONTECH GROUP is solely entitled to take
over the defence against the claim and the conclusion of a settlement relating to the claim and (iii) TRON supports the relevant company of BIONTECH GROUP to the best of its abilities in the defence against the claim, against the reimbursement
of reasonable expenses which it incurs. 


 The obligation of the company of BIONTECH GROUP under Art. 6.5 shall not apply
in relation to the violation of THIRD PARTY property rights if the violation had not occurred if TRON had acted in line with the provisions of this AGREEMENT in relation to the RESULTS. 

 

	7.	 Secrecy, Publications 



 

	7.1	 The PARTIES undertake to keep in secret the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION which they receive, directly or
indirectly, from one of the other PARTIES, to not make them accessible to THIRD PARTIES (notwithstanding Art. 7.3) and to only use them for the purposes of the PROJECTS. 















	7.2	 The above obligation will not apply to such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of which the PARTY receiving the
information can evidence that it 


  

	 	(i)	 has already been in the public domain at the time of notification or have come to the public domain after such
time without their fault; 


  

	 	(ii)	 has already been in its possession at the time of notification; 



 

	 	(iii)	 was made accessible to it from THIRD PARTIES without an obligation of secrecy and non-use, unless these THIRD PARTIES have received the information, directly or indirectly, from one of the other PARTIES; or 



 

	 	(iv)	 must be disclosed to authorities on the basis of legal provisions. 



 

	7.3	 The PARTIES undertake to only provide the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to such employees and vicarious agents as
well as to those THIRD PARTIES insofar as they need to gain knowledge of the Information for the purposes of the PROJECTS or to THIRD PARTIES who are interested in a participation under company laws or in the acquisition of all essential assets of
the relevant business field of a PARTY and who verify this and who were committed to the same duties of secrecy as agreed by the PARTIES, also for the time after the end of the employment relationship, insofar as permitted by law. The receiving
PARTY will immediately inform the other PARTY of the names of the employees who have gained knowledge of the information and will evidence the conclusion of a non-disclosure agreement with the relevant
employee at their request. After the termination of the AGREEMENT, the PARTIES are obliged to return to the PARTY which has disclosed the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION any and all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION as well as any copies prepared thereof or they
shall destroy them according to the latter’s instructions. 


  

	7.4	 Each PARTY will make publications during the term of this AGREEMENT and for a period of up to [***] years after

planned publication within [***] weeks after the hand-over of the complete manuscript. If 















	 	
the PARTY fails to object to the publication within this period, the consent shall be deemed to be given. The [***] period will, however, only start after the responsible contact or their
representative has demonstrably confirmed, in writing, that the other PARTY has received the manuscript. An objection to a publication must only be made for an important reason. An important reason shall be deemed to exist, in particular, if a PARTY
intends to file applications for intellectual property rights for inventive contributions contained in the publication in due time; the PARTIES agree that the maximum period by which a publication can be delayed for the purpose of filing
intellectual property rights applications will be [***] months after the hand-over of the complete manuscript of the planned publication and after the PARTIES have gained knowledge of the RESULT which is capable of being protected by an industrial
property right. In the event of an objection, the PARTIES will, however, make all efforts to jointly find a compromise regarding time and/or contents for a premature publication by observing the legal obligations and justified interests of their own
and those of the affected examinees, doctoral students or assistant professors, in particular insofar as final examinations, Doctoral Theses or Postdoctoral Theses are affected by the work on the project. 


 

	7.5	 The obligation of secrecy shall survive the termination of this AGREEMENT for a period of [***] years.



  

	7.6	 The obligation of secrecy and the regulation on publications set forth in this Art. 7 shall not apply to
companies of BIONTECH GROUP in relation to RESULTS. The obligation of secrecy as well as the regulation on publications under this Art. 7 shall not apply to TRON in relation to TRON IMPROVEMENTS.

accordance with the provisions of this AGREEMENT until the final liquidation. Unless a different notice period is agreed in the individual order, running PROJECTS can be terminated with a notice period of [***] months to the end of the calendar

	8.3	 The PARTY’s right to a termination for an important reason shall remain in full force and effect.



  

	8.4	 Each termination shall be made in writing to be effective.

effect, without changes, between the remaining companies of BIONTECH GROUP and TRON.

termination of the AGREEMENT), 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 6, 7, 8.2, 8.5 and 9 shall survive the termination of this AGREEMENT. 


  

	9.	 Final Provisions

PROJECT SERVICES. The provisions of the LICENSING AGREEMENT shall remain unaffected by the provisions of this AGREEMENT and shall prevail over the provisions of this AGREEMENT in case of any conflicts.
