the following rental contract is concluded:


 


Preamble


 


The landlord intends to acquire the land in the district of
Tübingen Real Estate no. 6923/14 Friedrich Miescher-Straße, buildings and open space, building site, 4260m2,
from the University City of Tübingen (hereinafter "building land") and to sell it after completion of the buildings
described below, which the tenant is aware of and agrees to. In the event of sale of the rental properties, all rights and obligations
under this contract shall pass to the future buyer and the rental relationship shall continue between the buyer of the rental properties
and the tenant on the basis of this contract.


 


The landlord shall construct logistics, office and laboratory
buildings on the building site in two construction phases - construction phase 1 for building 1 and construction phase 2 for building
2- (hereinafter also referred to as rental property 1 or rental property 2) for use by the tenant. During planning and construction,
special emphasis is placed on both an energy-efficient design of the building and a high degree of suitability for the purpose
intended by the tenant.


 






     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 2/16

 


    

 


With this proviso, the parties agree the following:





 


Section 1        Rental property, rental purpose


 


(1) The landlord becomes the owner of the land at Friedrich-Miescher-Strasse
15 in Tübingen, Real Estate No. 6923/14 of the district of Tübingen, entered in the land register of Tübingen, plot
19, sheet 3644 and sheet 4261. On the land, the landlord will construct logistics, office and laboratory buildings in two construction
phases in compliance with the generally recognised rules of technology and architecture, the contractual agreements and using only
approved building materials with a total area of approx. 6,973.35 m2 (construction phase 1) and a total area of approx.
4,516.08 m2 (construction phase 2). The location of the buildings is shown in the site plan, Annex 1.


 


The areas indicated for the buildings are approximate dimensions.
The area calculation attached to the landlord's building application of 04.17.2018, submitted to the City of Tübingen on 04.19.2018,
is authoritative.


 


For the new build in construction phase 1, this is shown in
the site plan attached as Annex 1 to this contract. The rental areas for construction phase 1 are shown in the floor plans,
sections and views attached as Annex 2 to this contract (collectively "planning documents"). The design and equipment
of the individual areas are set out in the building specifications as Annex 3 to this contract ('rental property 1').


 


For construction phase 2, the corresponding annexes Site plan
Annex 1a, planning documents Annex 2a and building description Annex 3 ("rental property 2") apply.


 


The tenant shall procure all furnishings and fixtures at their
own expense and install them in the rental property. The landlord and tenant have drawn up a list of interfaces for this purpose
and to define their reciprocal obligations. This list of interfaces is attached to this contract as Annex 4 and takes precedence
over the contents of the building specifications insofar as interface issues are dealt with in the building specifications.


 


All annexes to this contract are initialled by the parties and
form the basis of the rental contract. Insofar as individual installations are designated "CureVac AG", this refers to
the tenant.


 


The parties agree that, with the exception of the parking spaces
in the underground car park, other required parking spaces are not part of this rental contract.


 


In the event of contradictions between planning documents and
building specifications, the contracting parties shall endeavour to reach mutual decisions on the type and quality of execution
of construction and/or equipment. If no agreement can be reached, the contents of the building specifications take priority over
those of the planning documents.


 


In the event of incomplete or overlapping provisions in the
building specifications, work or equipment is owed which a tenant can normally expect in such a contractual property. The landlord
decides on this at reasonable discretion in accordance with Section 315 of the German Civil Code. The same applies if the tenant
does not exercise a right of choice granted to them between different equipment variants within a reasonable period of time set
by the landlord in writing. The design of the outdoor facilities shall be in accordance with the outdoor facilities plan, Annex
5. A representation of the external design resulting from the Annexes 1-4 is therefore not binding. The furnishings
and equipment shown in the plans are only intended to illustrate the room conditions and floor space and are not owed by the landlord
within the scope of this rental contract, as is the case with the entire lT installation.


 






     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 3/16

 


    

 


Overall, the landlord must ensure that the implementation planning
is coordinated with the tenant.


 


The landlord has the right to make changes to the rental property
in comparison with the information contained in Annexes 1 to 5 or the Annexes marked with "a", if the changes
are either necessary to obtain the building permit or if the changes do not significantly affect the interests of the tenant. Such
a significant impairment of the tenant's interests exists if the intended size of the area of the rental property would change
by more than +/-3.00% or if the contractual use of the rental property would become more expensive or impede the tenant due to
the change.


 


The parties undertake to contractually fix all deviations from
the agreed building specifications / planning documents in a written supplement to this rental contract.


 


(2)


 


The rental properties are leased for the commercial purpose
of office and administrative use as well as the storage and logistics of materials and substances in connection with the development,
production and marketing of pharmaceuticals.


 


A change of use requires the consent of the landlord. This must
be granted if the intended change of use is permitted under building law. The landlord may refuse consent to the change of use
for good cause.


 


(3)


 


The Landlord guarantees the legally approved use of the respective
rental property in accordance with Section 1 No. (2) Sentence 1 of this contract at the time of handover. All official approvals
which become necessary in the course of the rental period and which are connected with the use and operation of the respective
rental property within the meaning of No. (2) shall be obtained by the tenant at their own expense, insofar as these are not due
to the location or specific structural condition of the rental property (e.g. fire protection) or to a change in official or technical
requirements for the respective rental property which comes into force after the signing of the rental contract.


 


(4)


 


The parties agree for the sake of clarity that the landlord
owes the building permit for both rental properties without the total number of parking spaces required under building law. To
this end, the tenant and the University City of Tübingen shall jointly draw up a parking space concept, on the basis of which
the parking space verification in accordance with the building regulations shall be carried out, if necessary in conjunction with
the relevant motor vehicle parking space statutes of the University City of Tübingen. All costs incurred in connection with
the conceptual planning, the application procedure, the approval and the production of the vehicle parking spaces required by building
law or requested by the tenant shall be borne in full by the tenant in relation to the landlord, including any parking space redemption
fees.


 


Section 2       Duration of contract, handover


 


(1)


 


The rental relationship begins with the date of the mutual signing
of this rental contract. The agreed fixed rental period shall commence upon handover of the rental property 1.


 









     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 4/16

 


    

 


The Landlord shall prepare the respective rental property in
accordance with the attached plans and the description of services and hand it over in accordance with the implementation schedule
(Annex 6).


 


The landlord undertakes to hand over
the respective rental property immediately after completion of the respective rental property as described in Section 1 para.
1 of this contract, presumably on 10.15.2019, but no later than as of 01.15.2020 for rental property 1 and 04.15.2020, but no
later than 09.15.2020 for rental property 2. The date of handover of the respective rental property shall be approximately
stated by the landlord, if possible two months in advance, and shall be binding for both landlord and tenant at least 14 days
in advance. On the day of the respective handover, a handover protocol to be signed by both contracting parties shall be
drawn up on a form to be provided by the landlord on the basis of Annex 7. Any defects detected in the handover
protocol must be remedied by the landlord without delay, at the latest within one month. Minor defects or residual work
present at the handover of the respective rental property, which do not significantly impair the use by the tenant and which
can be remedied or carried out without significantly impairing the use by the tenant, do not delay the handover or do not
entitle the tenant to refuse the handover. Should the tenant accept the rental property despite considerable defects, this
does not imply recognition of the respective rental property as free of defects.


 


The parties agree that after handover of the rental property
1, the final start of the rental period in accordance with number (2) below will be specified in a supplement to this rental contract,
which is to be signed by both parties and which is to become an integral part of the present rental contract in compliance with
the legal requirements for the written form (Section 578 para. 2,550, 126 of the German Civil Code (BGB)).


 


The above-mentioned probable handover date(s) can only be met
by the landlord if the building permit and building permission for the planned building project has been issued by the lower building
authority by 07.16.2018 at the latest. If the granting of the building permit and the building clearance is delayed without the
landlord being responsible for this, both the above-mentioned probable and the latest handover date shall be postponed by the corresponding
length of time. Notwithstanding the rights of withdrawal in Section 14 resulting from a postponement of the handover of the rental
property due to a delay in the issue of the building permit and building permission, the parties to the contract may not make any
claims against the other party.


 


(2)


 


The rental period for both rental properties is agreed for a
fixed period. The rental period shall be 15 (in words "fifteen") years from the first full calendar month after handover
of rental property 1 ("rental period"). During this period, even before the start of the rental period, the proper notice
of termination is excluded.


 


(3)


 


The tenant has the right to request the extension of the rental
relationship (option) twice for five years each time (hereinafter referred to as "option period"). The first option must
be asserted in writing by the tenant to the landlord at least 15 months before the end of the rental period. This applies accordingly
to the second option with the proviso that the option must be exercised 15 months before the end of the first option period. If
the tenant does not exercise an option, the rental relationship ends at the end of the rental or option period.


 


(4)


 


After expiry of the option periods, the rental relationship
is extended by one year in each case unless it is terminated by one of the two parties with 12 months' notice to the respective
expiry date.


 






     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 5/16

 


    

 


The parties agree that the receipt of the notice of termination
by the other contracting party shall be decisive for the timely receipt of the notice of termination.


 


(5)


 


A tacit extension of the rental relationship according to Section
545 of the German Civil Code is excluded.


 


Section 3       Rent


 


		(1)	The monthly rent for rental property is 1 net cold:



 


€/month       87,520.00


 


	plus advance payment of operational costs on the operational costs currently apportionable under clause (5)	 	 	€/month	 	 	 	9,000.00	 
	Subtotal rent incl. AP OC net	 	 	€/month	 	 	 	96,520.00	 
	plus statutory VAT (currently 19 %)	 	 	€/month	 	 	 	18,338.80	 
	monthly rent incl. AP OC gross	 	 	€/month	 	 	 	114,858.50	 




 


The total monthly rent for rental property 2 is:


 


€/month       87,520.00


 


	plus advance payment of operational costs on the operational costs currently apportionable under clause (5)	 	 	€/month	 	 	 	9,000.00	 
	Subtotal rent incl. AP OC net	 	 	€/month	 	 	 	96,520.00

	monthly rent incl. AP OC gross	 	 	€/month	 	 	 	114,858.50	 




 


each including the rented parking spaces in the underground
car park


 


The total monthly rent for both rental properties ("total
rent") is


 


	 	 	 	€ 229,717.60	 	 	 	 	 



 


(2)


 


The monthly rent is owed from the time the respective rental
property is handed over. If the handover takes place during a month, the rent for this month is owed pro rata temporis. From handover
of rental property 2 the total rent is to be paid.


 


(3)


 


The rent is to be paid on the 1st calendar day of each month,
monthly in advance, to an account to be named by the landlord. For determining punctuality of payment, it is not the dispatch but
the receipt of the money that is decisive. The landlord will request the first rent from the tenant in writing, stating the account
details.


 


(4)


 


The tenant may not set off any counterclaims or exercise a right
of retention against the due rent or other demands of the landlord, unless these counterclaims have been recognised or legally
assessed. The right according to Section 536 (1,2 and 3) of the German Civil Code to reduce the rent due to defects of the rental
property remains unaffected.


 


(5)


 


In addition to the rent, the operational costs are allocated
to the tenant in accordance with the current version of the Operating Costs Ordinance and the management costs. Unless otherwise
provided for in this contract, the currently apportionable operational costs
as well as the anticipated management costs are listed in the list as Annex 8 to this contract.


 









     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 6/16

 


    

 


(6)


 


The tenant undertakes, as far as possible, to invoice operational
costs directly to the supply and disposal companies and to make the necessary declarations.


 


(7)


 


The landlord is entitled to demand an appropriate monthly advance
payment for the remaining operational costs under consideration of Section 3 Nos. (5) and (6). Until further notice, invoices for
operational costs will be issued at the end of the following calendar year. Any difference resulting from the invoice (subsequent
payment/refund) shall be settled by the respective debtor in favour of the respective creditor within four weeks after receipt
of the respective invoice. The landlord is entitled to adjust the monthly advance payment of operational costs according to the
change in operational costs of the previous accounting period.


 


(8)


 


Both the monthly rent specified under § 3 number (1) of
this contract and the monthly advance payment of operational costs are to be paid in each case plus the respectively valid statutory
VAT (currently 19%). In this regard, the landlord, with reference to 514 para. 4 sentence 1 of the German Value Added Tax Act (UStG),
states that they are registered with the Friedrichshafen tax authority.


 


Section 4       Indexation clause


 


(1)


 


If the consumer price index officially determined and published
by the Federal Statistical Office in Wiesbaden for the Federal Republic of Germany (current basis 2010=100) as compared to the
level at the time of conclusion of this contract) increases or decreases by 10% or more, the currently applicable rent shall be
changed to reflect the percentage change in the index. The request for adjustment must be asserted in writing by the respective
entitled party and comes into force on the first day of the month following the entitled assertion.


 


(2)


 


In each case where the index is changed again by 10% or more
compared to the level on which the previous adjustment was based, the procedure shall be repeated in accordance with Section 4
No. (1) of this contract.


 


(3)


 


The contractually agreed indexation clause is subject to the
Price Clause Act (PrKIG). The contracting parties assume that the agreed index is not subject to the price clause prohibition.
Should this assumption not apply, the index legally permitted under PrKIG which comes closest to the invalid index shall be deemed
agreed.


 


(4)


 


If an index recalculation is published during the term of the
contract, the latest calculation must be used. The date of transition is the month from which the Euro amount was last adjusted
to the index development. Past payment obligations are to be regarded as closed; due to an index recalculation, the monetary amounts
paid are not recalculated again retroactively.


 









     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 7/16

 


    

 


(5)


 


Should the Federal Statistical Office rebase the index agreed
in Section 4 item (1) of this contract or discontinue its continuation in whole or in part, the new calculation basis or the respective
successor index shall apply or an index which reflects the value protection intended by the contracting parties in a comparable
manner to the index last applicable.


 


Section 5       Subletting


 


(1)


 


A complete or partial subletting requires the written consent
of the landlord. Consent may only be denied for good cause, in particular if the purpose of use is to be changed. Consent shall
be deemed to have been given if the tenant has transferred the rental property in whole or in part to third parties who are associated
with it within the meaning of Section 15 et seq. German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) for use.


 


(2)


 


The liability of the tenant for all claims of the landlord from
this contract remains unaffected by the subletting.


 


Section 6       Maintenance, repair and upkeep of the rental
property


 


(1)


 


The maintenance and repair of the rental property is the responsibility
of the landlord at their own expense, unless otherwise stipulated below. The landlord shall maintain the respective rental property
during the entire rental period and, if applicable, option period (together "rental duration") in a condition corresponding
to the contractual use, taking into account all official regulations, in particular with regard to workplace guidelines and fire
protection devices and carry out work in this respect in coordination with the tenant and with appropriate consideration of the
business operations and business interests of the tenant. Necessary changes in condition, in particular also compliance with official
regulations, which are attributable to the use of the tenant, are to be arranged by the tenant at their own expense.


 


(2)


 


The parties agree for clarification that repair, maintenance,
upkeep and repair work on all items, annexes and equipment brought into the respective rental property by the tenant are to be
carried out entirely by the tenant.


 


(3)


 


Minor repairs up to a maximum net amount of € 350.00 in
each individual case, but not exceeding € 10,000.00 net per rental year, shall be borne in full by the tenant. The above values
are increased in accordance with the agreements in Section 4 of this contract.


 


(4)


 


The tenant is responsible for all cosmetic repairs in the rental
premises. These include in particular painting the walls and ceilings. They must be carried out as soon as this becomes necessary
due to wear and tear.


 









     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 8/16

 


    

 


(5)


 


Care and maintenance of all technical equipment, facilities
and pipe networks belonging to the respective rental property, such as automatic doors, roller-/ sectional gates, heating, ventilation,
RT system, security lighting system (central or remote), fire alarm system, burglar alarm system, sprinkler system, etc., shall
be assumed by the tenant, insofar as they are not required to carry out the work according to Section 6 No. (2) of this contract
in any case at their own expense. The tenant shall provide the landlord with corresponding proof of maintenance.


 


(6)


 


The tenant shall be liable to the landlord for damage to the
respective rental property caused by the culpable conduct of his employees, suppliers, customers, craftsmen, visitors, subtenants
or similar, without this being the fault of the tenant. The tenant is responsible for proving that there was no culpable conduct.
This liability does not apply insofar as the above-mentioned damages are due to a grossly negligent breach of duty by the landlord
or to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by one of their legal representatives or their agents.


 


Section 7       Structural changes, advertising facilities


 


(1)


 


Structural changes to the respective rental property, especially
in the case of an intervention in the static construction of the building, are only permitted with the consent of the landlord.
Any structural changes carried out by the tenant must be carried out professionally and at least correspond to the structural standard
of the respective rental property. Notwithstanding No. (4), permissible structural changes made by the tenant at the end of the
contract do not have to be dismantled; they may, at the tenant's discretion, remain in the respective rental property without compensation.
If the tenant dismantles structural changes, they must restore the original condition of the respective rental property at their
own expense.


 


(2)


 


The landlord may carry out repairs and structural changes which
become necessary to maintain the respective rental property or to remedy damage, after prior consent of the tenant, the consent
may only be denied for good cause. The tenant must keep the premises under consideration accessible and must not obstruct the execution
of the work. In the case of repairs and structural changes in laboratory rooms, the landlord shall coordinate the type, scope and
duration of the work with the tenant and then carry out the work on the basis of the agreements made. The rooms may be entered
in a urgency and in cases of emergency to prevent or remedy damage, the laboratories may only be entered in an emergency, even
outside normal business hours; the landlord will attempt to notify the tenant in advance.


 


(3)


 


Insofar as work is permitted under Section 7 Nos. (1) and (2),
the tenant may only demand replacement or reduction if they can prove that the work completely or partially precludes or significantly
impairs the use of the respective rental property for the agreed purpose.


 


(4)


 


If the tenant brings items into a rental property, there is
no transfer of ownership to the landlord, except in the cases of Section 946 et seq. German Civil Code. Upon transfer of ownership
in these cases, the financial compensation provided for by law in accordance with Section 951 of the German Civil Code shall be
applied.


 









     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 9/16

 


    

 


(5)


 


In agreement with the landlord, the tenant is entitled to install
appropriate advertising facilities on the buildings at their own expense. Upon termination of the rental relationship, the tenant
shall restore the previous condition.


 


Section 8       Traffic safety obligation


 


The tenant shall assume and fulfil all traffic safety obligations
in the respective rental property from the time of handover. This also includes the obligation to clear and grit the access to
and outside areas of the rental property in winter.


 


Section 9       Extraordinary termination


 


The landlord may terminate the rental relationship without notice
if the tenant is in arrears with an amount equivalent to two months' rent despite a warning with a grace period set by registered
letter. The legal rights of the tenant to extraordinary termination remain unaffected.


 


Section 10     Insurance


 


(1)


 


The tenant undertakes to insure at their own expense all items
in their ownership in the respective rental property, e.g. technical systems, equipment and, if applicable, pipe networks, all
of their technical facilities and, if applicable, equipment, the risk of glass breakage and public liability insurance.


 


(2)


 


Should the tenant wish the landlord to include technical equipment,
facilities, pipe networks or operational facilities which are owned by the tenant and which are fixed to the building in the building's
property insurance, the tenant must inform the landlord in writing. The additional premiums charged by the property insurer for
this purpose shall be borne in full by the tenant.


 


(3)


 


To cover damage caused by fire, storm, hail, damage caused by
other natural hazards as well as damage caused by mains water, the landlord shall take out adequate building insurance as well
as property and land owner's liability insurance for the rental property.


 


Section 11     Rent security deposit


 


(1)


 


a) Two weeks before handing over the rental
property, the tenant shall provide a rent deposit of € 2,756,611.20 (gross rent in accordance with Section 3 No. (1) of the
contract for rental property 1 including VAT for 24 months). The landlord may use the deposit to satisfy any claims they may have
against the tenant during or after termination of the rental duration in connection with the contract. The landlord is obliged
to inform the tenant in advance of any claim from the deposit. If the tenant makes use of the deposit during the rental duration,
the tenant is obliged to immediately replenish it to the agreed amount.


 






     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 10/16

 


    

 


b) Two weeks before handing over rental property
2, the tenant shall pay a deposit of €2,756,611.20 (gross rent in accordance with Section 3 No. (1) of the contract for rental
property 2 including VAT for 24 months). The landlord may use the deposit to satisfy any claims they may have against the tenant
during or after termination of the rental duration in connection with the contract. The landlord is obliged to inform the tenant
in advance of any claim from the deposit. If the tenant makes use of the deposit during the rental duration, the tenant is obliged
to immediately replenish it to the agreed amount.


 


(2)


 


The deposit is to be made in the form of a transfer to a deposit
account to be named by the landlord. The deposit is to be invested with interest. An interest payment increases the security and
is due to the tenant after termination of the contract.


 


The tenant may also provide security in the form of an irrevocable,
unconditional and directly enforceable bank guarantee, in which the right of deposit, the defence of contestability and set-off
and the right of advance action are excluded; however, the waiver of the defence of set-off shall only apply to the extent that
the counterclaim has not been recognised or legally assessed. Only a German commercial bank can be a suitable guarantor. The bank
guarantee must provide for the exclusive jurisdiction of the Regional Court of Tübingen and the exclusive application of German
law.


 


(3)


 


The landlord is entitled to refuse to hand over the respective
rental property if the tenant has not provided the deposit according to Nos. (1) and (2). Irrespective of the refused handover
of the rental property, the tenant shall be obliged to pay the rent from the point in time at which the handover could have taken
place if the deposit had been made in time. The extraordinary right of termination of the landlord remains unaffected.


 


(4)


 


The landlord must return the deposit six months after the rental
property has been returned in accordance with the contract and any claims have been settled in full, but not before two months
have elapsed after the landlord has submitted a final invoice for operating and ancillary costs. If necessary, a partial return
must be made


 


Section 12     End of the rental duration


 


At the end of the rental duration, the rental property is to
be handed over cleaned with all keys in the condition that can be expected after careful handling during the rental duration and
after execution of the contractually agreed maintenance and repair work. With regard to structural changes, Section 7 of this contract
shall apply.


 


All keys, including those procured by the tenant themselves,
must be returned.


 


Section 13     Deadlines


 


The landlord has submitted an application for a building permit
for the planned entire construction project, which is capable of being approved, on the basis of the documents mentioned in Section
1 No. (1) of this contract to the competent lower building authority, the City of Tübingen, on 04.19.2018. Reference is made
to Section 1 No. (4).


 






     


    
	Rental contract Fränkel lmmobilien-Service GmbH/ CureVac Real Estate GmbH	Page 11/16

 


    

 


Section 14     Rights of withdrawal


 


The parties have agreed on the following rights of withdrawal,
which shall apply to the contract as a whole. If a right of withdrawal is exercised, the rental relationship does not come into
existence or ends when the withdrawal takes effect.


 


(1)


 


The tenant expressly reserves the right of withdrawal from this
contract. This right may be exercised by the tenant if


 


		a)	no enforceable building permit for the rental property in favour of the landlord has been obtained by 10.20.2018; or



		b)	construction has not commenced by 11.15.2018 at the latest for construction phase 1 or by 04.15.2019 at the latest for construction
phase 2; Section 2 No. (1) Paragraph 2 of this contract shall apply accordingly; construction in this sense shall be deemed to
have commenced when the construction site has been set up on the building site and the excavation of the building pit has begun;
or



		c)	one of the rental properties has not been completed and handed over by the latest time of handover as provided for in Section

(1)


 


The parties agree on a six-week binding period for the application
to conclude this contract, starting on the day of the first signing of the contract. Acceptance of the application must take place
within the aforementioned period, but not the receipt of the acceptance by the applicant. In this respect, the timeliness according
to Section 151 of the German Civil Code is waived. Should the last signature be made outside the application commitment period,
this is to be regarded as a new application, for which a six-week commitment period applies.

The rental parties are aware of the special statutory written
form requirements of Sections 550, 578, 126 of the German Civil Code. They hereby mutually undertake to perform all actions and
make all statements at the request of either party at any time which are necessary to comply with the statutory written form requirement
and not to terminate the rental contract prematurely with reference to non-compliance with the statutory written form. This applies
not only to the conclusion of the original contract/main contract, but also to supplementary, amendment and expansion contracts.
This provision does not apply to any buyer of the rental property who, as a result of the acquisition by act of law in accordance
with Section 566 of the German Civil Code, enters into the rental relationship in place of the landlord.

written form requirement.

from this contract is Tübingen.
