Execution Version

3.8.3Breach of Current License by BioNTech. If BioNTech receives notification of any actual or potential breach or otherwise becomes aware of its breach of any Current License (and if uncured, such breach could give rise to the termination of the applicable Current License), then BioNTech will immediately notify Pfizer of such breach. To the extent that any act or omission on the part of Pfizer is the cause of such breach of a Current License, Pfizer will take all actions and provide BioNTech with all cooperation necessary to cure such breach, in each case as reasonably requested by BioNTech and at Pfizer’s sole cost and expense. To the extent that Pfizer is not the cause of such breach of a Current License, BioNTech will have the first opportunity to cure such breach in accordance with a plan to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing, acting reasonably (each, a “Cure Plan”).

In the event that any Current License is terminated by the applicable Current Licensor and this Agreement, as of the effective date of such termination, has not otherwise expired or been terminated, Pfizer, to the extent permitted by such Current License (or if not permitted or addressed in such Current License, to the extent permitted by the applicable Current Licensor), will have the right without prejudice to its other remedies against BioNTech, at Pfizer’s election, to convert the sublicenses granted under this Agreement by BioNTech to Pfizer under such Current License to a direct license from the applicable Current Licensor to Pfizer on the terms and conditions contained in such Current License (with Pfizer assuming the applicable obligations of BioNTech thereunder) or such other terms and conditions as may be negotiated by Pfizer and the applicable Current Licensor; provided that Pfizer shall negotiate in good faith reasonable terms and conditions, including with respect to royalties or other payments due in connection with the Candidates or Products. In the event Pfizer enters into any such direct license with a Current Licensor pursuant to this Section 3.8.4, BioNTech will, at Pfizer’s sole election and without prejudice to its other remedies hereunder:

3.8.4.1in respect of royalties and other payments payable by Pfizer under such direct license to the Current Licensor, to the extent such royalties and payments are due in connection with the Candidates or Products hereunder, reimburse to Pfizer the difference between (a) the amount that is payable under any direct license with Pfizer and (b) the amount that would have to be reimbursed by Pfizer to BioNTech in accordance with Section 4.10.1 with respect to the Current License if the Current License had not been terminated; or

Execution Version

3.8.4.2permit Pfizer to offset any such reimbursement amounts (to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to clause (a) above) against Pfizer’s future payment obligations to BioNTech (or any of its successor or assigns) under this Agreement (including BioNTech’s share of Gross Profits) until Pfizer has fully recovered all such reimbursement amounts.

3.8.5Consents and Waivers. BioNTech represents, warrants and covenants to Pfizer that, to the extent any terms and conditions of this Agreement do not (or will not at any time during the Term) conform to any requirements relating to the grant of sublicenses under any Current License, it has obtained the irrevocable consent (or, if applicable, the waiver of any resultant conflict) from the applicable Current Licensor that is necessary to permit the activities contemplated under this Agreement, including such that BioNTech may grant the applicable sublicenses granted or to be granted hereunder and perform all of its obligations hereunder and Pfizer may exercise all of its rights and perform all of its obligations hereunder, in each case, without breaching the applicable Current License. In the event that any provision in any Current License which conflicts with this Agreement or adversely impacts the activities contemplated under this Agreement comes to the attention of either BioNTech or Pfizer or which otherwise, at any time during the Term, would cause the representation, warranty and covenant set forth in the preceding sentence to be untrue, BioNTech, in consultation with Pfizer, will obtain any and all additional required consents or waivers from the applicable Current Licensor(s) which may be necessary to align the conflicting provision(s) of the applicable Current License with this Agreement and to permit the activities contemplated by this Agreement.

3.8.6Exceptions to the Fosun Agreements. If BioNTech (as opposed to Pfizer) has breached the Fosun Agreement [***]. In addition, in respect of the Fosun Agreement (i) [***]; and (ii) [***].

3.10No Implied Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party will be deemed to have granted the other Party (by implication, estoppel or otherwise) any right, title, license or other interest in or with respect to any Patent Rights, Know-How, Trademarks or other Intellectual Property Rights or information Controlled by such Party.

3.11Exclusivity.

3.11.1Mutual Exclusivity. Except if otherwise permitted by the unanimous consent of the JSC, during the Term, neither Party shall, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, itself or with or on behalf of a Third Party, Develop, have Developed, Manufacture, have Manufactured, Commercialize, have Commercialized or otherwise Exploit or have Exploited any [***] in the Field within the Territory, except that each Party may continue any agreement existing as of the Effective Date with a Third Party for non-clinical research within the Field with academic institutions and

4.4.2BioNTech Deferred Development Costs. The Parties acknowledge and agree that from the Effective Date until December 31, 2020 (the “Deferred Payment Period”), BioNTech's share of the Shared Development Costs incurred in accordance with the binding parts of the Development Budget, Research and Development Plan and the Manufacturing Plan, and this Agreement were initially funded by way of an interest free repayable loan from Pfizer (“BioNTech Deferred Development Costs”). BioNTech shall make a payment to reimburse Pfizer the BioNTech Deferred Development Costs incurred during the Deferred Payment Period within [***] of receipt of Pfizer's invoice for the same. The Parties shall exchange reasonable documentation of all relevant Shared Development Costs in accordance with Section 4.4.4 applicable to such invoice. Pfizer may offset any BioNTech Deferred Development Costs (to the extent not reimbursed to Pfizer), against Pfizer's future payment obligations to BioNTech (or any of its successors or assigns) under this Agreement. Following the end of the Deferred Payment Period, BioNTech shall thereafter itself fund its share of the Shared Development Costs in accordance with Section 4.4.4.

4.4.3Budgeting of Shared Development Costs. The Parties shall agree on, at least once per Calendar Year, and regularly update (if required), the Development Budget through the JSC. As soon as either Party determines that it is likely to overspend on the binding part of the Development Budget that is allocated to that Party by more than [***], it shall inform the JSC accordingly, and shall only be entitled to incur such overrun costs as Shared Development Costs pursuant to Section 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 upon the JSC’s mutual consent.

4.4.4Reporting and Reconciliation. After the end of the Deferred Payment Period, all Shared Development Costs incurred in accordance with the binding parts of the Development Budget shall initially be borne by the Party incurring such costs and shall thereafter be subject to reimbursement in accordance with this Section 4.4.4. Each Party shall report to the other Party, within [***] after the end of each Pfizer US Quarter, the Shared Development Costs incurred by such Party during such Pfizer Quarter. Such report shall specify in reasonable detail all amounts included in such Shared Development Costs during such Pfizer Quarter (broken down by activity), and out-of-pocket costs shall be allocated to the extent possible to a specific activity in the applicable binding part of the Research and Development Plan. Each such report shall enable the receiving Party to compare the reported Shared Development Costs against the applicable binding part of the Development Budget previously approved by the JSC, on both a quarterly basis and a cumulative basis for each activity. The Parties shall seek to resolve any questions related to such accounting statements within [***] following receipt by each Party of the other Party’s report hereunder. Following such resolution, BioNTech shall prepare a reconciliation report for the Shared Development Costs for such Pfizer Quarter (including as against the binding parts of the Development Budget) and shall either (a) deliver an invoice to Pfizer for any amounts due to BioNTech as a result of reconciliation or (b) notify Pfizer that it should issue an invoice to

Execution Version

BioNTech for any amounts due to Pfizer as a result of reconciliation. Any such invoice from BioNTech to Pfizer shall be payable within [***] from receipt by Pfizer. Any such invoice from Pfizer to BioNTech shall be payable within [***] from receipt by Pfizer.

4.4.5Capex Costs. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, each Party shall be solely responsible for its own Capex Costs and any capital expenditures required in connection with this Agreement.

4.4.6Other Costs. Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement), each Party will bear all costs and expenses it incurs in connection with its activities under this Agreement.

4.5Third Party Funding.

4.5.1Third Party Funders. Pfizer and BioNTech shall, in good faith and acting collaboratively, seek funding from one or more Third Parties for such Third Party to provide financial support to the collaboration between the Parties under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Funder”). For each potential Third Party Funder, the Parties will agree on (a) the Party to lead the communications and discussions with such Third Party Funder (the “Lead Party”) and (b) the activities, costs or expenses for which funding support shall be sought (e.g. funding for Development costs, funding in support of a Party's Capex Costs (“Capex Funding”) or both). An initial list of potential Third Party Funders and their allocation as between the Parties is set forth in Schedule 4.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pfizer shall be entitled to secure funding from, and shall be the Lead Party in discussions with [***], in the event that Pfizer, in its sole discretion [***] and BioNTech shall be entitled to secure funding from, and shall be the Lead Party in discussions with [***], in the event that BioNTech, in its sole discretion, chooses to seek funding from [***].

4.5.2Discussions with Funders. The Lead Party will lead any discussions with such Third Parties in any country, provided that the Lead Party will provide regular updates to the JSC and keep the JSC reasonably informed of the status and any developments in such discussions, and shall, at the other Party’s reasonable request, update the other Party on any such discussions. The Lead Party shall conduct any such discussions and draft and file any applications for any Third Party Funding in good faith and acting reasonably with respect to its requests for such funding. Where legally possible and unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, each application for any Third Party funding shall be made in both Parties’ name unless the Parties have agreed in advance pursuant to Section 4.5.1 that such application shall be in respect of one Party’s Capex Funding alone, in which case such application may be made in that Party's own name alone. The Lead Party shall not enter into a written agreement with any Third Party Funder without prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the Parties have agreed in advance pursuant to Section 4.5.1 that such agreement shall be in respect of that Lead Party's Capex Funding alone, in which case the Lead Party can conclude such Third Party Funder agreement without consent from the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Pfizer shall be entitled to seek any funding from [***] without requiring BioNTech's consent; (b) BioNTech shall be entitled to seek any funding from [***] without requiring Pfizer's consent; and (c) neither Party shall agree as a party to any agreement with any Third Party Funder or in consequence of such agreement to commit any particular allocation of supply of Product for any country or government without the prior consent of the JCC pursuant to Section 7.4.2.5. Pfizer and BioNTech acknowledge and agree that there is no guaranty that any Lead Party will be successful

Execution Version

in securing any funding from any Third Party Funder or that any specific amount of funding will be obtained.

4.5.3Allocation of Funds and Balancing Payment. To the extent possible, any Third Party funding to the extent it relates to activities in relation to which the Parties have agreed to treat the associated Development costs as Shared Development Cost shall be shared equally between the Parties. If such sharing is not possible, a balancing adjustment shall be made in favor of the other Party to the Shared Development Costs to reflect [***] percent of such funding that that Party receives from the Third Party Funder provided that doing so does not breach any applicable Laws or the terms of such funding. Each Party shall promptly report to the other Party in writing if and when it receives any payments from any Third Party Funder funding that relates to activities, costs or expenses that are Shared Development Costs.

4.5.4Not Applicable to Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.5 shall not apply to any traditional loans provided by any Third Party to a Party provided that (a) such loans are repayable by the borrower Party and not, directly or indirectly, by the other Party; (b) this Agreement, any other agreement ancillary to this Agreement, the BioNTech Technology, Product Technology and Product are not provided as security for, or otherwise encumbered by way of, such loan (excluding, for clarity, any tangible assets). Each Party shall be entitled to seek any such loans from any Third Party without any obligations to the other Party.

4.5.5Documentation. To the extent the conditions agreed by the Lead Party with any Third Party Funder require the disclosure or delivery of specific documentation relating to Shared Development Costs (e.g. invoices from Third Parties or calculation of internal costs) in order to obtain funding or reimbursement for such Shared Development Costs from such Third Party Funder, upon the Lead Party’s request, the other Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such documentation to the Lead Party within [***] from the request, provided that the Lead Party shall pay all reasonably necessary costs and expenses of the other Party which are directly incurred in connection with provision of any documentation to the extent it is beyond the documentation or the efforts required pursuant to Section 4.4.4, provided, further, [***].

4.6Accounting Principles. Each Party shall determine Shared Development Costs using its standard accounting procedures, consistently applied and in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable (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). All personnel costs of either Party or its Affiliates are excluded from Shared Development Costs.

4.7Commercialization Costs. Each Party will be solely responsible for the costs it incurs in Commercializing the Product within its respective Commercialization Territory and such costs shall not be included in the calculation of Gross Profits as described in Section 4.9 below.

4.8Commercialization Sales Milestones. Pfizer shall pay BioNTech the following one off Commercialization Sales Milestone Payments within [***] of the end of the Pfizer Quarter in which the annual Net Sales of the Product within the Territory pursuant to this Agreement in a Pfizer Year first achieve the relevant level described below. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties recognize that more than one Commercialization Sales Milestone Payment may become due in any particular Pfizer Quarter or Pfizer Year; however, each of the Commercial Sales Milestones Payments set forth below shall be payable one

4.10.3Exclusion of Certain Payments. [***].

4.11Taxes.

4.11.1Withholding Taxes. The Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by the paying Party to the receiving Party under this Agreement (“Withholding Taxes”). If Withholding Taxes are imposed on any payment under this Agreement, the liability for such Withholding Taxes shall be the sole responsibility of the receiving Party, and the paying Party shall (a) deduct or withhold such Withholding Taxes from the payment made to the receiving Party, (b) timely pay such Withholding Taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (c) send proof of payment to the receiving Party within [***] following such payment. Each Party shall comply with (or provide the other Party with) any certification, identification or other reporting requirements that may be reasonably necessary in order for the paying Party to not withhold Withholding Taxes or to withhold Withholding Taxes at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party shall provide the other with commercially reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by applicable Law, of Withholding Taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing the cost of such Withholding Taxes under this Section 4.11.1 (Taxes and Withholding). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any assignment or sublicense by the paying Party, any change in the paying Party’s tax residency, any change in the entity that originates the payment, or any failure on the part of the paying Party to comply with applicable Law with respect to Withholding Taxes (including filing or record retention requirements), Withholding Taxes are imposed that would not otherwise have been imposed (“Incremental Withholding Taxes”), then the paying Party shall be solely responsible for the amount of such Incremental

Execution Version

Withholding Taxes and shall increase the amounts payable to the receiving Party so that the receiving Party receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had there been no such imposition of Incremental Withholding Taxes.

4.11.2Value Added Tax. All payments between the Parties under this Agreement are exclusive of applicable statutory value added tax or similar taxes (“VAT”), if any, which shall be listed separately on each invoice. If and to the extent any VAT will become payable due to any supplies or services rendered under this Agreement and if and to the extent such VAT is to be paid by the Party providing the supply or service to the competent tax authorities, the receiving Party shall pay an amount equal to such VAT to the providing Party upon receipt of a valid invoice allowing for the recovery of such VAT.

4.11.3Taxes of Co-Entrepreneurship. If and to the extent the Parties are considered to be partners of a co-entrepreneurship for tax purposes because of their collaboration governed by this Agreement and taxes allocated to the co-entrepreneurship (e.g. German trade tax, but excluding any taxes imposed on or with respect to net income other than German trade tax) are owed by either of the Parties, such tax (as well as any related cost of reporting and preparation of relevant tax returns) shall be [***]. In deviation of the foregoing, if and to the extent such tax (including related cost) is increased or reduced by circumstances that are exclusively attributable to one of the Parties (Causing Party) (in particular due to so-called special trade tax effects), any increased tax (including related costs) shall exclusively be allocated to and be borne by the Causing Party and any saved tax shall be credited to the Causing Party. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to agree on a mutual tax filing position for their collaboration governed by this Agreement in due course after the Effective Date. Each Party shall have the right to assign any or all of its contractual position under this Agreement to a wholly owned corporate subsidiary (“Blocker Entity”) provided that the relevant Party (i) remains secondarily liable for any liabilities of the Blocker Entity under this Agreement in respect of the contractual position assigned and (ii) shall indemnify the other Party from any taxes triggered by the transfer of such contractual position to the Blocker Entity.

4.11.4Other. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4.11, each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Taxes imposed on such Party’s income arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Parties under this Agreement and each Party shall be solely responsible for taxes based on, imposed on or calculated by reference to any employees employed by that Party.

4.11.5Branded Prescription Drug Fee. Under the provisions of the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub. L. No. 111-14 (as amended), Pfizer is subject to the annual fee on prescription drug manufacturers, hereinafter referred to as the “Branded Prescription Drug Fee”. [***]

4.12Currency, Source of Payments. All amounts payable and calculations under this Agreement will be in United States dollars [***]. As applicable, all costs and expenses will be translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate used by the relevant Party for public financial accounting purposes. If, due to restrictions or prohibitions imposed by national or international authority, a given payment cannot be made as provided under this Section 4.12, the Parties will consult with a view to finding a prompt and acceptable solution. If the Parties are unable to identify a mutually acceptable solution regarding such

Execution Version

payment, then the Party owing the relevant payment may elect, in its sole discretion, to deliver such payment in the relevant jurisdiction and in the local currency of the relevant jurisdiction.

4.13Method of Payment. Except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.12, each payment hereunder will be made by electronic transfer in immediately available funds via either a bank wire transfer, an ACH (automated clearing house) mechanism, or any other means of electronic funds transfer, at the paying Party’s election, to such bank account as the receiving Party will designate in writing to the other Party within [***] of the Signing Date, and thereafter at least [***] before the payment is due. All invoice or billing related questions in relation to Pfizer should be referred to Pfizer’s Accounting Department at [***] or go to the Accounts Payable Invoice Portal at [***]. Unless otherwise specified herein, each invoice is payable within [***] of receipt of the relevant invoice.

4.14Record Keeping and Audits.

4.14.1Record Keeping. Each Party shall keep and maintain and shall cause its Affiliates to keep and maintain books and accounts of record in sufficient detail to enable the determination of [***] and any other financial provisions of or applicable to this Agreement. Such records will be maintained for up to [***] after the end of the year to which they pertain or such longer period of time required under a Current License, insofar as applicable to the rights sublicenses pursuant to such Current License.

4.14.2Right to Audit. Upon [***] prior notice from a Party (the “Auditing Party”), the other Party (the “Audited Party”) will permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by the Auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party, to examine [***] the relevant books and records of the Audited Party and its Affiliates (and where possible, its subcontractors) as may be reasonably necessary to verify the amounts reported by the Audited Party in accordance with Sections 4.4 to 4.10. An examination by the Auditing Party under this Section 4.14 will occur not more than [***] and will be limited to the pertinent books and records for any Calendar Year ending not more than [***] before the date of the request. The accounting firm will be provided access to such books and records at the Audited Party’s or its Affiliates’ facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination will be conducted during the Audited Party’s or its Affiliates’ normal business hours. The Audited Party may require the accounting firm to sign a reasonably acceptable non-disclosure agreement before providing the accounting firm with access to the Audited Party’s or its Affiliates’ facilities or records. Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm will provide both Pfizer and BioNTech the same written report disclosing any discrepancies in the reports submitted by the Audited Party, and, in each case, the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information will be provided to the Auditing Party.

4.14.3Underpayments/Overpayments. If such accounting firm concludes that there are errors in how Shared Development Costs, Third Party funding, BioNTech Deferred Development Costs, Net Sales, Gross Profits, Transfer Prices, Third Party License Payments, Expedited Milestone Refunds or Proportional Adjustments have been calculated, allocated, paid or reclaimed, then adjustments shall be made in accordance with the accounting firm's recommendations in a reconciliation of such amounts and any overpayment or underpayment by the Audited Party shall be rectified either by a refund to, or payment by, the Audited Party from or to the Auditing Party within [***] of the date the Audited Party receives such accountant’s written report.

8.1.3.2Monitoring Plans. A high-level strategy for monitoring Clinical Trials in respect of any Candidate or Product pursuant to this Agreement will be agreed by the JSC within [***] following the Effective Date. The Lead Development Party of the Clinical Trial will notify the other Party if there are any amendments required to such monitoring plan, and provide such other Party with an opportunity to review and comment on any such amendments, and any amendments shall only be made following approval by the JSC.

8.1.3.3Sponsor Oversight Plan. The Parties shall mutually agree on a sponsor oversight plan to set forth the accountabilities and oversight of all Clinical Trials conducted by the Lead Development Party, consistent with that certain GCP Quality Agreement, dated December 10, 2020, including Appendix D, Roles and Responsibilities.

8.1.3.4IRB/IEC Approval. BioNTech as the sponsor and Regulatory Approval holder of the Clinical Trials shall ensure that the Clinical Trial is approved by and subject to continuing oversight by an appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), except that BioNTech shall delegate this responsibility to Pfizer for any Clinical Trial for which Pfizer is the Lead Development Party. The Lead Development Party shall provide documentation of both the initial IRB/IEC approval of the final protocol to the other Party and annual renewals of that approval if such renewals are required. To the extent a Party receives notice of any withdrawal or suspension of IRB/IEC approval during the Term, it will promptly inform the other Party.

8.1.3.5Informed Consent. BioNTech as the sponsor and Regulatory Approval holder for each applicable Clinical Trial will obtain informed consent for each Clinical Trial subject in accordance with the applicable informed consent document and applicable Law and will inform and obtain express consent from each Clinical Trial subject that the data, including Personal Data, arising from such Clinical Trial may be used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including its export from the European Union and its processing by Pfizer or other Third Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Law), provided however, that BioNTech shall delegate this responsibility to Pfizer for those Clinical Trials for which Pfizer is the Lead Development Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Development Party will share the informed consent document with the other Party for such other Party’s review and comment prior to its use in a Clinical Trial in a country in the Territory.

8.1.3.6Sponsorship.

8.1.3.8Delegation. Notwithstanding the responsibilities of BioNTech as IND/CTA holder or sponsor of Clinical Trials, where Pfizer is the Lead Development Party for a Clinical Trial Pfizer shall conduct its activities in compliance with GxP and applicable Law with respect to each of the activities which have been delegated to Pfizer pursuant to Schedule 8.1.1.

8.2Regulatory Matters.

8.2.1Lead Regulatory Party. The JSC shall agree on a strategy to allocate operational responsibility for regulatory activities relating to each Candidate or Product to one of the Parties (the “Lead Regulatory Party”) which shall, as a default initial allocation, be by reference to the country or region where such Party is the Lead Development Party. The JSC’s initial allocation shall be that Lead Regulatory Party for regulatory activities relating to each Candidate or Product in the EU shall be BioNTech, and the Lead Regulatory Party for regulatory activities relating to each Candidate or Product in the USA shall be Pfizer. Subject to the JSC’s mutual consent to seek Regulatory Approval in one or more countries or regions in the ROW, Pfizer shall be the Lead Regulatory Party for regulatory activities relating to each Candidate or Product in such country or region in the ROW. If the JSC cannot agree on whether Regulatory Approval shall be sought for any country or region in the ROW, the Party that wishes to seek Regulatory Approval in such country or region shall be entitled to be the Lead Regulatory Party for regulatory activities relating to each Candidate or Product in such country or region and seek such Regulatory Approval at its own cost. The JSC may vary from the foregoing allocations by mutual consent. The other Party shall cooperate with the Lead Regulatory Party, at its reasonable request, with respect to any regulatory matters for which the Regulatory Approval holder is responsible or to whom regulatory matters have been delegated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for matters relating to any Vaccine Technical Committee, Price Approval or reimbursement approval in a country, such matters shall be handled by the Party in whose Commercialization Territory such country is located irrespective of whether they are the Lead Regulatory Party.

8.2.2Regulatory Communications and Filings. The Lead Regulatory Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prosecute to grant and maintain all applications for Regulatory Approvals for the Product, including any supplements or amendments thereto and all Regulatory Approvals obtained therefrom. The Lead Regulatory Party shall make all filings with the Regulatory Authority that are necessary to maintain the Regulatory Approvals for the Product in good standing, including any regulatory reporting. In accordance with Section 8.2.1, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party with respect to any and all regulatory matters for which the other Party is responsible pursuant to this Agreement or the Research and Development Plan. Unless exigent action is required with respect to a given filing before a Regulatory Authority concerning a Candidate or Product, or a material communication with a Regulatory Authority concerning the same, the Lead Regulatory Party shall provide the other Party with copies of all filings relating to such Marketing Authorization Application prior to submission within a reasonable amount of time (but not less than [***]) to allow such Party to review and comment on such filings, and the Party submitting such filing shall consider all comments and proposed revisions from the other Party in good faith prior to submission. The Lead Regulatory Party shall consult with the other Party regarding, and keep the other Party informed of, the status of the preparation of all Marketing Authorization Applications and the prosecution or maintenance thereof, including any material communications that it receives with respect to the same. The Lead

Execution Version

Regulatory Party shall provide to the other Party copies of all final Marketing Authorization Applications and filings relating thereto that it submits within [***] from filing (unless access to such Marketing Authorization Applications or filing is reasonably required earlier in which case the Lead Regulatory Party shall make such Marketing Authorization Applications and filings available earlier than [***] to the extent reasonably possible). The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2.2 shall also apply to material and substantive communications with Regulatory Authorities. Both Parties will cooperate with respect to any and all regulatory matters with respect to the Product, including the implementation of any of the foregoing in any country in the Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, where Pfizer is the Lead Regulatory Party, all filing, prosecution and maintenance activities to be made by Pfizer under this Section 8.2.2 shall be made in the name of BioNTech or its Affiliate, unless otherwise agreed pursuant to Section 8.2.6, and Pfizer shall submit or make available to BioNTech within [***] copies of all filings and other material correspondence submitted to any Regulatory Authority, Governmental Authority or Government Official worldwide in BioNTech’s name or on BioNTech’s behalf in connection with such Regulatory Approvals and applications therefor.

8.2.3Requests by Associations or Competitors. The JCC shall, in good faith, seek to agree and align on the types of complaints, inquiries or other requests for information with respect to the Product from any trade or industry association or any competitor that may merit standard responses. Either Party shall use such standard responses in response to any such complaint, inquiry or request on which the JCC aligns. Furthermore, either Party will promptly notify the respective other Party if it or its Affiliates receive any complaint, inquiry or request, including situations for which such standard responses are not applicable or appropriate. If such standard responses are not sufficient, where such complaint, inquiry or request relates to or primarily impacts only one Party's Commercialization Territory, such Party will have control and discretion with respect to determining the appropriate response thereto, subject to applicable Law; provided, however, that if any such complaint, inquiry or request (i) relates to the safety or efficacy of the Product, subject to the terms of the applicable Pharmacovigilance Agreement, the Party that is the applicable MA Holder will have control and discretion (having regard to the other Party's input and recommendations) with respect to determining the appropriate response thereto or (ii) relates to or impacts both Parties' Commercialization Territory, the Party in receipt of such complaint, inquiry or request shall refer it to the JCC and the JCC will have control and discretion with respect to determining the appropriate response thereto, subject to applicable Law.

8.2.4Regulatory Meetings. The Lead Regulatory Party shall consult with the other Party reasonably in advance of the date of any anticipated meeting with a Regulatory Authority relating to any Marketing Authorization Applications or Regulatory Approvals in respect of any Candidate or Product for which it is responsible and shall consider any timely and reasonable recommendations made by the other Party in preparation for such meeting. The Parties agree that the Lead Regulatory Party shall lead interactions with respect to countries or regions in the Territory for which such Party is the Lead Regulatory Party. Upon the request of the other Party, and to the extent legally permissible and not opposed by the relevant Regulatory Authority, the Lead Regulatory Party shall permit the other Party to attend any and all meetings with the applicable Regulatory Authority concerning the Candidate or Product. [***]

8.2.5Manufacturing Matters. Where a Party is the Lead Regulatory Party and responsible for preparing and maintaining the filings for Regulatory Approval, the other Party shall

Execution Version

provide all reasonable assistance to the Lead Regulatory Party in such filings, including preparation of the CMC portions of the Common Technical Document in English and supporting ancillary cGMP documents and analytical data as required to meet specific regulatory filing and approval requirements. Each Party shall promptly provide the other with copies of material written correspondence as reasonably necessary to permit each Party to comply with its relevant regulatory obligations described in the Agreement or as otherwise reasonably requested.

8.2.6Ownership of Regulatory Filings, Regulatory Approvals and Pricing and Reimbursement Approvals. The Parties shall discuss through the JSC which Party shall apply for and hold the Regulatory Approvals directed to a Candidate or Product in each country in the Territory. Notwithstanding Section 6.5.2, if despite good faith efforts, the JSC is unable to reach unanimous agreement on which Party shall apply for and hold the MAA or Marketing Authorization Approvals directed to a Candidate or Product in any country in the Territory, then BioNTech shall have final decision making authority in that respect, provided that Pfizer shall not be required to apply for and hold any MAA or Marketing Authorization Approval in a country unless Pfizer and its Affiliates are already Commercializing a Pfizer vaccine product in such country and are permitted to hold an MAA or Marketing Authorization Approval for the Product in such country. The Parties acknowledge that, unless otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.2.6 or required under applicable Law, all Regulatory Approvals directed to a Candidate or Product in a country in the Territory and all applications therefor shall be made and/or held in the name of and owned by BioNTech or its Affiliate. For clarity, if under the applicable Law of any country BioNTech or its Affiliate is allowed to apply for a Regulatory Approval even though, at the time of such application, BioNTech or its Affiliate does not fulfil the requirements under applicable Law to hold such Regulatory Approval in such country, BioNTech or its Affiliate shall be allowed to file such application, provided that BioNTech reasonably believes that it will fulfill all such requirements within such time period as will not unreasonably delay approval of the applicable Regulatory Approval. In addition, the following principles shall apply:

8.2.6.1Where BioNTech or its Affiliate has applied for and/or holds in its own name any MAA or Marketing Authorization Approval directed to a Candidate or Product in a given country in the Territory, it may, upon giving reasonable notice to Pfizer, elect with Pfizer's agreement to transfer to Pfizer or any of its Affiliates such Regulatory Approval (or the relevant application therefor) in such country and Pfizer or its Affiliate will not withhold its agreement to such transfer if Pfizer or any of its Affiliates is already Commercializing a Pfizer vaccine product in such country and is permitted to hold such MAA or Marketing Authorization Approval in such country.

8.2.6.2Where an MAA or Marketing Authorization Approval directed to a Candidate or Product in a given country in the Territory is held by Pfizer or its Affiliate after it has been (i) applied for or obtained by Pfizer or its Affiliate or (ii) transferred to Pfizer or its Affiliate pursuant to Section 8.2.6.1 above, BioNTech, in its sole discretion, may at any time request in writing that Pfizer transfers or transfers back, as applicable, such Regulatory Approval (or application therefor) to BioNTech or its Affiliate and, upon such written request, the Parties will mutually agree on the date of the transfer or transfer back, as applicable, of such Regulatory Approval (or application therefor) to BioNTech or its Affiliate, provided that such date shall be no later than six (6) months after BioNTech’s request and BioNTech has fulfilled all necessary requirements under applicable Law to

Execution Version

hold such Regulatory Approval (or application therefor) at the time of transfer or transfer back.

8.2.6.3Recognizing that the transfer of the foregoing responsibilities or the responsibilities described in Sections 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 and Regulatory Approvals, as the case may be, requires time, coordination and effort, the Parties will agree a reasonable transition plan for each such transfer (including specifications for the transfer period) and during the transfer period BioNTech or Pfizer, as applicable, shall continue to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain the Regulatory Approvals in good standing and continue to perform its obligations as Lead Regulatory Party or owner of the Regulatory Approval (or application therefor), unless determined otherwise in the relevant transition plan.

8.2.6.4A Party that is a Regulatory Approval holder under this Agreement shall procure that its Affiliates conduct all activities in connection with such Regulatory Approvals in accordance with this Agreement.

8.2.7Notice of Regulatory Investigation or Inquiry. If any Regulatory Authority (i) contacts a Party with respect to the alleged improper Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of a Candidate or Product in the Territory, (ii) conducts, or gives notice of its intent to conduct, an inspection at a Party’s facilities used in the Development or Manufacturing of a Candidate or Product, or (iii) takes, or gives notice of its intent to take, any other regulatory action with respect to any activity of a Party that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any Development, Manufacture or Commercialization Activities with respect to a Candidate or Product in the Territory, then such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such contact, inspection or notice. The inspected Party shall provide such other Party with copies of all pertinent information and documentation issued by any such Regulatory Authority within [***] of receipt, and, to the extent practicable, the JSC or appropriate subcommittee. Such other Party shall have the right to (a) be present at any such inspection where reasonably practicable, and (b) review and comment upon in advance any responses of the inspected Party that pertain to a Candidate or Product or a Party’s activities hereunder.

8.3Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacovigilance Agreement.

8.3.1As soon as practicably possible following the Signing Date the Parties shall form a Joint Safety Committee to (a) review and approve each investigator’s brochure for the clinical Development of Candidates and Products, (b) review and approve all aggregated data Drug Safety Update Reports, annual IND reports, and other period reports to Governmental Authorities information regarding patient safety (including adverse drug) experiences that are or may be associated with Candidates or Products, (c) review, discuss and agree the outputs of each Party’s periodic Candidate and Product related benefit/risk analysis, and (d) such other patient safety-related activities as the Parties may delegate to it from time to time.

8.3.2So long as BioNTech holds the necessary INDs/CTAs/Regulatory Approvals and is acting as sponsor in a country or region in the Territory, BioNTech may initiate clinical Development of the Candidates and Products in the EU prior to the Parties entering into a pharmacovigilance agreement. In such circumstances BioNTech shall be responsible for collecting, monitoring, evaluating, sharing and reporting to applicable Governmental Authorities in the EU information regarding patient safety (including adverse drug) experiences that are or may be

associated with Candidates or Products. BioNTech shall be responsible for maintaining a suitable safety database.

8.3.3The Parties acknowledge and agree that they have entered into a pharmacovigilance agreement covering pharmacovigilance responsibility relating to Development Activities and shall update such agreement or enter into a new pharmacovigilance agreement with respect to Commercialization Activities (each a “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”), in each case reflecting the applicable terms set forth in Section 8.3.7 and Schedule 8.3.

8.3.4Following the filing of the IND for Candidate(s) with FDA:

8.3.4.1should BioNTech require Pfizer to take over certain activities in relation to collecting, monitoring, evaluating, sharing and reporting to applicable Governmental Authorities, but excluding Ethics Committees, information regarding patient safety (including adverse drug) experiences that are or may be associated with Candidates or Products in the EU, the Parties shall agree and execute an amendment to the Pharmacovigilance Agreement to (i) reflect the additional activities and responsibilities the Parties have agreed Pfizer will perform in the EU, and (ii) set out the procedures the Parties have agreed upon to allow for the reconciliation of BioNTech’s safety database with Pfizer’s safety database. The effectiveness of the amendment shall be conditional upon BioNTech delivering to Pfizer (x) confirmation from the relevant Governmental Authorities in the EU that they have accepted an amendment to the clinical trial protocol for any on-going clinical trial of Candidates or Product in the EU to reflect the necessary changes (as agreed with Pfizer) in responsibilities and contact information for collecting, monitoring, evaluating, sharing and reporting of information regarding patient safety (including adverse drug) experiences, and (y) written confirmation from BioNTech that it has amended the relevant clinical trial agreements to reflect the change in pharmacovigilance provider and trained the investigators on the new reporting procedures; and,

8.3.4.2BioNTech through their agreement with Fosun shall ensure that Fosun, via BioNTech, deliver to Pfizer (x) a copy of a due diligence report on Fosun’s safety data reporting system reasonably acceptable to Pfizer in terms of findings made, (y) a copy of the pharmacovigilance agreement between BioNTech and Fosun which, inter alia, provides for delivery to Pfizer of fully assessed, translated (into English) CIOMS forms for all SAEs: Death / life threatening SUSARs – 5 Business Days from Day 0 (Day 0 being receipt by Fosun from the clinical investigator), or 10 days for all other SAEs, [***] and (z) details of the quality management system used with Fosun to ensure that if late inbound reports are received BioNTech can request root cause analysis and implementation of corrective and preventive actions by Fosun. The Parties agree that prior to Fosun’s commencement of clinical activities by Fosun, BioNTech shall have entered into a written agreement with Fosun, reflecting the foregoing.

8.3.5The Pharmacovigilance Agreement and each amendment to it from time to time shall set forth the responsibilities and procedures for (i) collecting, monitoring, evaluating, sharing and reporting to applicable Governmental Authorities information regarding patient safety (including adverse drug) experiences that are or may be associated with Candidates or Products in the countries covered by that agreement and (ii) providing regulatory information to and support

Execution Version

of the other Party with regard to regulatory obligations, provided, that, each such agreement shall include the following guiding principles: acting as BioNTech’s delegate for regulatory interactions, Pfizer shall primarily control the regulatory process and regulatory interactions in the countries covered by that agreement, provided, however that the Parties shall work together collaboratively to further the purposes of the collaboration and the activities described in this Agreement. Subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence, to the extent there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Pharmacovigilance Agreement (as amended from time to time) and this Agreement with respect to safety or regulatory matters, the Pharmacovigilance Agreement shall control.

8.3.6Audits. Each Party shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to perform audits of the other Party’s pharmacovigilance, regulatory, and environmental, health and safety activities concerning any Candidates or Products under this Agreement, including each Party’s oversight of any Third Party contracted to perform pharmacovigilance, regulatory or environmental health and safety activities as outlined in this Agreement and in compliance with applicable Laws, which audit right is exercisable once per Calendar Year (or more frequently for material cause) during the Term, provided, however, that the auditing Party shall notify the other Party of the identity of any Third Party auditor, such other Party may require such Third Party auditor to sign a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such other Party and the auditing Party shall not use such Third Party auditor without the prior consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Upon request, BioNTech shall provide Pfizer with a copy of its latest audit report on Fosun’s pharmacovigilance activities.

8.3.7Global Safety Database and Safety Reporting. Subject to the Pharmacovigilance Agreement entered into as described in Section 8.3.3 as amended from time, Pfizer shall maintain the global safety database for the Candidates and Products pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (a) BioNTech will hold a safety database to meet its sponsor responsibilities and regulatory responsibilities in the EU and any other countries or markets in the BioNTech Commercialization Territory and to hold safety data reports received from the Fosun Territory; (b) information shall be exchanged between Pfizer and BioNTech as described in the Pharmacovigilance Agreement to ensure alignment of information between the databases; and (c) BioNTech will delegate to Pfizer its responsibilities for the collection, processing, assessment and safety reporting to Regulatory Authorities for (i) all Clinical Trial(s) conducted pursuant to this Agreement and the Research and Development Plan thereunder in the Territory upon the approval of the IND for Candidate(s) with FDA and (ii) upon Regulatory Approval of the Marketing Authorization Applications or grant of Emergency Use Authorization, adverse event and other safety information relating to the Candidates or Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such responsibility can only be delegated to and Pfizer can only accept this responsibility if, with respect to safety information arising from clinical trials, the Clinical Trial sites for the Candidates and Products are reporting the safety data and, with respect to safety information from Commercialization Activities and Medical Activities, BioNTech and its Affiliates are reporting the safety data, in each case, including all individual Serious Adverse Events, translated into English, to Pfizer and for so long as Pfizer has access to all safety data, including all individual Serious Adverse Events, translated into English for any and all active Clinical Trials for the Candidates and Products, including products identical to Candidates or Products conducted under the terms and conditions of the Fosun Agreement (or subsequent agreements with other development partners) and for all Commercialization Activities and Medical

If a Party chooses to file, and thereafter Prosecute and Maintain, Patent Rights after the expiration of the Term, including any extension to the Term, that Party may use or incorporate Research and Development Program Know-How in the filing or prosecution of such Patent Rights filed after the Term, if it determines in its sole discretion that it is necessary or useful to use or incorporate such Research and Development Program Know-How.

11.3.2Joint Patent Rights. In the event the Parties make any Joint Know-How, the Parties will promptly meet to discuss and determine, based on mutual consent, whether to seek patent protection thereon. Neither Party will file any Joint Patent Right without mutual consent. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, if the Parties decide to seek patent protection for any Joint Know-How: (a) BioNTech will have the first right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, Prosecute and Maintain any Joint Patent Right predominantly relating to the RNA Technology or RNA Process Technology throughout the world, and (b) Pfizer will have the first right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, Prosecute and Maintain any other Joint Patent Right throughout the world, in each case of (a) and (b) with the respective provisions of Section 11.3.1.1 to apply mutatis mutandis except as provided in this Section 11.3.2. The non-filing Party will reimburse the filing Party for 50% of the costs reasonably incurred by the filing Party in preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining such Joint Patent Rights, which reimbursement will be made pursuant to, and

Execution Version

within 75 days of, invoices (including supporting documentation) submitted by the filing Party to the non-filing Party no more often than once per Pfizer Quarter. The non-prosecuting Party will cooperate with the prosecuting Party in taking reasonable measures to control costs and non-prosecuting Party shall be responsible for 100% of (x) any fees or costs related to any correspondence of outside counsel with or instructions to outside counsel by such Party (or any of such Party’s Representatives) which is independent of joint prosecution efforts, or (y) any patent office fees, and associated counsel/agent fees and costs, for extensions which are not incurred at the request of, and not due to the actions of, the prosecuting Party. If, once the Parties have agreed to prepare and file an application of Joint Patent Rights, either Party (the “Declining Party”) at any time thereafter declines to participate in the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Joint Patent Right or share in the costs of filing, prosecuting and maintaining any Joint Patent Right, on a country-by-country basis, the Declining Party will provide the other Party (the “Continuing Party”) with 30 days prior written notice to such effect, in which event, the Declining Party will (A) have no responsibility with respect to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of the applicable Joint Patent Right after the end of such 30 day period, (B) have no responsibility for any expenses incurred in connection with such Joint Patent Right after the end of such 30 day period and (C) if the Continuing Party elects to continue filing, prosecution or maintenance, the Declining Party, upon the Continuing Party’s request, will execute such documents and perform such acts, at the Continuing Party’s expense, as may be reasonably necessary (1) to assign to the Continuing Party all of the Declining Party’s right, title and interest in and to such Joint Patent Right and (2) to permit the Continuing Party to file, Prosecute and Maintain such Joint Patent Right at its sole expense. Where such Joint Patent Right is assigned to Pfizer as the Continuing Party, BioNTech will retain a non-exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up worldwide right and license to practice and exploit such Patent Right for any and all purposes excluding, during the Term, in the Field; and where such Joint Patent Right is assigned to BioNTech as the Continuing Party, it will be excluded from the definition of BioNTech Patent Rights, and Pfizer will retain a non-exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up worldwide right and license to practice and exploit such Joint Patent Right for any and all purposes.

11.3.3Prosecution by Third Party Licensors. Except in the ordinary course of filing continuation applications, BioNTech shall not decline to pay for or participate in the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Patent Right under any BioNTech Third Party Agreement in any Key Patent Jurisdiction (or other country to the extent doing so may result in BioNTech’s loss of license to such Patent Right in such country), to the extent BioNTech is obligated to pay for, or has the right to participate in, such filing, prosecution or maintenance, that is included in the BioNTech Patent Rights and that, in Pfizer’s reasonable opinion, covers any Candidate, Product or [***] in the Field in the Territory, and the loss of which would result in loss of right to or would materially diminish the overall protection of such Candidate or Product, without Pfizer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

11.3.4Patent Term Restoration and Extension. Upon the request of either Party, the Parties will (through the Patent Committee) reasonably discuss patent term extension and supplemental protection certificate strategies in relation to Patent Rights Covering Candidates or Products at any time.

Execution Version

11.3.5Clarifications. For clarity, prosecution under this Section 11.3 includes opposition, revocation and post-grant review proceedings before the granting patent office or other patent office proceedings ("Prosecution Proceeding"). If such Prosecution Proceedings are concurrent with Third Party litigation under Section 11.4 and are applicable to or part of a coordinated enforcement of such rights, the prosecuting Party and the enforcing Party shall work together and closely align their prosecution and enforcement strategy in accordance with Section 11.5 (including the right for one Party to have final control as stipulated in Section 11.5).

11.3.6Liability. To the extent that a Party is obtaining, Prosecuting or Maintaining a Patent Right or otherwise exercising its rights under this Section 11.3, such Party, and its Representatives, will not be liable to the other Party in respect of any act, omission, default or neglect on the part of any such Party, or its Representatives, in connection with such activities undertaken in good faith.

11.3.7Recording. If either Party deems it necessary or useful to register or record this Agreement or evidence of this Agreement with any patent office or other appropriate Governmental Authority(ies) in one or more jurisdictions, the other Party will reasonably cooperate to execute and deliver to such Party any documents accurately reflecting or evidencing this Agreement that are necessary or useful, in such Party’s reasonable judgment, to complete such registration or recordation.

11.3.8Joint Research Agreement. This Agreement shall be understood to be a joint research agreement under 35 U.S.C. § 103(c)(3) for pre-AIA Patent Rights and 35 U.S.C. § 100(h) for post-AIA Patent Rights entered into for the purpose of researching, identifying and Developing Candidates and Products.

11.4Enforcement of Patent Rights.

11.4.1Notification of Infringement and Decision about Enforcement Actions. Each Party will promptly notify the other (through the Patent Committee) in the event of any actual, potential or suspected infringement of a patent under the BioNTech Patent Rights or Research and Development Program Patent Rights by any Third Party. In the event of any such notification, the Parties will (through the Patent Committee) discuss in good faith the relevant actual, potential and suspected infringement and the risks and chances of success as well as chances of settlement connected with the institution of any litigation or other step to remedy infringement (any such steps, or threat of or assertion or enforcement of a Patent Right being an “Enforcement Action”) taking into account the possible uses of the relevant Patent Rights by each Party, its respective Affiliates or its or their licensees and the revenues relating to or impacted by such Patent Rights, with the goal to agree on whether or not any Enforcement Action should be taken and, if yes, to closely coordinate so far as reasonably possible their respective efforts and strategies. The Parties acknowledge that time shall be of the essence in connection with any Enforcement Action and each shall move urgently and expeditiously to discuss and seek agreement on any actual or proposed Enforcement Action.

11.4.2Enforcement of BioNTech Patent Rights and Product Patent Rights. Subject to Section 11.4.1, and unless otherwise agreed between the Parties on a case-by-case basis, as between Pfizer and BioNTech, BioNTech shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute any Enforcement Action in connection with the BioNTech Patent Rights [***] in the Field

Execution Version

in the Territory (the “BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights”), and any such Enforcement Action will be at BioNTech’s expense including BioNTech indemnifying and holding harmless Pfizer and its Affiliates from and against any adverse cost award, where Pfizer or its Affiliates consent to join any such Enforcement Action upon BioNTech’s request, or where required by Law or where Pfizer or its Affiliates are enjoined by the counterparty. BioNTech shall not name as a party Pfizer or its Affiliates in any Enforcement Action without Pfizer's prior written consent. In any event, BioNTech will not, without the prior written consent of Pfizer, enter into any compromise or settlement relating to such litigation that (a) admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Right or (b) requires BioNTech to abandon any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Right. Upon the request of BioNTech, Pfizer shall have the sole discretion to decide whether or not to join as a party in any such Enforcement Action, and where it elects to do so it shall, at BioNTech’s expense, join and cooperate with BioNTech in such Enforcement Action. Pfizer will have the right to consult with, and provide comments to, BioNTech about such Enforcement Action (irrespective of Pfizer or its Affiliate being a party to such Enforcement Action), and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such Enforcement Action at Pfizer’s own expense, and BioNTech shall take into account any reasonable comments provided by Pfizer in such Enforcement Action. Neither Party will incur any liability to the other Party (other than that related to a Party’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 16) as a consequence of any Enforcement Action initiated or pursued pursuant to this Section 11.4 or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any decision holding any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights invalid or unenforceable. Any infringement recoveries resulting from such litigation or steps relating to a claim of Third Party infringement, after deducting BioNTech’s out of pocket expenses (including counsel fees and expenses including any adverse cost award) in pursuing such claim, will be treated as Gross Profits for the purposes of this Agreement.

11.4.3Pfizer's Enforcement Rights. In respect of an infringement of any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Right in the Field in the Territory in connection with a Competitive Product (“Competitive Product Infringement”), if, following (a) discussion of any potential Enforcement Action pursuant to Section 11.4.1 and (b) a subsequent written request by Pfizer to initiate any Enforcement Action in connection with such Competitive Product Infringement, BioNTech does not initiate any Enforcement Action in connection with such Competitive Product Infringement within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notices, or as soon as possible and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days if preliminary injunction proceedings are a potential or likely recourse to remedy the infringement), or ten (10) days before the time limit, if any, set forth in the applicable Laws for the filing of such actions, Pfizer shall have the right, but not the obligation, in place of BioNTech to institute any Enforcement Action in connection with such Competitive Product Infringement and any such Enforcement Action will be at Pfizer’s expense and the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 11.4.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis. Pfizer’s rights with respect to an Enforcement Action for BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights other than Product Patent Rights shall be limited to (i) Major Market Countries; (ii) Enforcement Actions in countries in which a Competitive Product (or part thereof) reasonably believed to be designated for any Major Market Country is Manufactured; and (iii) Enforcement Actions in Belgium, Ireland or the Netherlands that are in parallel with Enforcement Actions in any of the Major EU Market Countries.

11.4.4BioNTech Enforcement outside the Field and/or outside the Territory. Subject to Section 11.4.1 and unless otherwise agreed between the Parties on a case-by-case basis, as

Execution Version

between Pfizer and BioNTech, BioNTech shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute any Enforcement Action outside the Field and/or outside the Territory in connection with any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights), and any such Enforcement Action will be at BioNTech’s expense including BioNTech indemnifying and holding harmless Pfizer and its Affiliates from and against any adverse cost award, where Pfizer or its Affiliates consent to join any such Enforcement Action upon BioNTech’s request, where required by Law or where Pfizer or its Affiliates are enjoined by the counterparty. BioNTech shall not name as a party Pfizer or its Affiliates in any Enforcement Action without Pfizer's prior written consent. In any event, BioNTech will not, without the prior written consent of Pfizer, enter into any compromise or settlement relating to such Enforcement Action that (i) admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights or (ii) requires BioNTech to abandon any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights. Upon the request of BioNTech, Pfizer shall have the sole discretion to decide whether or not to join as a party in any such Enforcement Action, and where it elects to do so it shall, at BioNTech’s expense, join and cooperate with BioNTech in such Enforcement Action. Pfizer will have the right to consult with, and provide comments to, BioNTech about such Enforcement Action (irrespective of Pfizer or its Affiliate being a party to such Enforcement Action), and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such Enforcement Action at Pfizer’s own expense, and BioNTech shall take into account any reasonable comments provided by Pfizer in such Enforcement Action. Neither Party will incur any liability to the other Party (other than that related to a Party’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 16 or otherwise in this sub-section) as a consequence of any Enforcement Action initiated or pursued pursuant to this Section 11.4.3 or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any decision holding any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights invalid or unenforceable.

11.4.5Pfizer Patent Rights. Pfizer shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute litigation or take other steps to remedy infringement in connection with any field in respect of any Patent Rights that it solely owns including any Pfizer Patent Right. In the event that any such Patent Rights are based on inventions made or created solely or jointly by BioNTech, its Affiliates or its Representatives acting on BioNTech’s behalf, BioNTech shall provide reasonable assistance to Pfizer at Pfizer’s expense in connection with such litigation.

11.4.6Biosimilar Notices.

11.4.6.1BioNTech Cooperation. Upon Pfizer’s request, BioNTech and Pfizer will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist and cooperate with each other in (A) establishing a strategy for responding to requests for information from Regulatory Authorities and Third Party requestors and (B) preparing submissions responsive to any Biosimilar Notices received by Pfizer or BioNTech; provided that BioNTech will make the final decisions with respect to such strategy and any such responses.

11.4.6.2Compliance with Biosimilar Notices. The MA Holder will have the sole right in its discretion to comply with the applicable provisions of 42 U.S.C. § 262(l) (or any amendment or successor statute thereto), any similar statutory or regulatory requirement enacted in the future regarding biologic products in the United States, or any similar statutory or regulatory requirement in any non-U.S. country or other regulatory jurisdiction, in each case, with respect to any Biosimilar Notice received from any Third Party regarding any Product that is being Commercialized in the Field in the Territory in

Execution Version

the applicable jurisdiction, and the exchange of information between any Third Party and such MA Holder pursuant to such requirements; provided that, prior to any submission of information by MA Holder to a Third Party, the other Party will have the right to review the patent information included in such proposed submission, and to make suggestions as to any changes to such patent information that Pfizer reasonably believes to be necessary; provided further that MA Holder will determine the final content of any such submission. In the case of a Product approved in the United States under the PHS Act (or, in the case of a country in the Territory other than the United States, any similar Law), to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the MA Holder, as the sponsor of the application for the Product, will be the “reference product sponsor” under the PHS Act. The MA Holder will give written notice to the other Party of receipt of a Biosimilar Notice received by MA Holder with respect to a Product, and MA Holder will consult with the other Party with respect to the selection of any Patent Rights to be submitted pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 262(l) (or any similar law in any country of the Territory outside the United States); provided that the MA Holder will have final say on such selection of Patent Rights. Such other Party agrees to be bound and will cause its Affiliates and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause all Third Party Licensors to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of 42 U.S.C. § 262(l)(1)(B)(iii). In connection with any action brought by such other Party under this Section 11.4.6, such other Party, upon the MA Holder’s request, will reasonably cooperate and will cause its Affiliates and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause all Third Party Licensors to reasonably cooperate with MA Holder in any such action, including timely commencing or joining in any action brought by MA Holder under this Section 11.4.6.

11.4.7Unified Patent Court. In respect of BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights, for each and every such Patent Right having effect anywhere within any member state that was or is, from time to time, a signatory to the UPC Agreement, BioNTech shall have the sole discretion to decide whether to (a) opt in or opt out (and to opt in again), pursuant to Article 83 of the UPC Agreement, of the Unified Patent Court system; and (b) elect if such Patent Rights should, during their prosecution, be designated as a Unitary Patent or a European Patent. The other Party shall promptly do all things necessary and execute all documents and make all necessary elections required to give effect to such decision(s) or election(s).

11.4.8Settlement Cross-Licensing. If pursuant to a bona fide settlement of any Enforcement Action or Infringement Claim controlled by Pfizer, Pfizer, with BioNTech’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, grants to a Third Party (that was a party to the Enforcement Action or Infringement Claim) any sublicense to any of the Patent Rights licensed to Pfizer under this Agreement in respect of that Third Party’s Competitive Product, then Pfizer shall pay to BioNTech (a) at a minimum, if such sublicense includes any of the rights granted to Pfizer under a Current License or future BioNTech Third Party Agreement (subject to Section 3), all royalties due by BioNTech to the relevant Third Party for such sublicense under any Current License and Future BioNTech Third Party Agreement in respect of licensed sales of such Third Party Competitive Product and (b) all other royalties received by Pfizer shall be deemed Gross Profits. For the avoidance of doubt, should the Third Party as part of the same agreement grant any cross-license to Pfizer (sublicensable to BioNTech for the purposes of this Agreement) for any Candidates or Products, such cross-license shall not be deemed "non-cash" consideration for the purpose of the Net Sales definition.

11.5Other Actions by Third Parties. Separate from Prosecution Proceedings, each Party will promptly notify the other Party in the event of any legal action by any Third Party involving any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights of which it becomes aware, including any nullity, revocation, declaratory judgment, interference, inter partes reexamination, reexamination or compulsory license proceeding. The right to defend against any such action shall be with the Party controlling the filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of the affected Patent Right (as determined in accordance with Section 11.3.1), and the provisions of Section 11.3.1 shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of such defense. If any such action has been instituted by any Third Party in response to, or in connection with, any Enforcement Action pursuant to Section 11.4, or any Enforcement Action is to be pursued as a consequence of such action being instituted by any Third Party, the Party controlling the Enforcement Action and the Party controlling the defense shall work together and closely align their enforcement and defense strategy, which may include the (joint) appointment of the same patent counsel for all concurrent Third Party litigation and patent office proceedings taking into account the impact on enforcement and potential for revenues relating to such Patent Rights, and in the absence of agreement, the enforcing Party shall have the final say over the Prosecution Proceedings in so far as the Prosecution Proceeding will adversely impact the ongoing enforcement of such right, subject to having given good faith consideration to the comments and suggestions of the prosecuting Party. Further details of such joint proceeding may be agreed between the Parties from time to time.

11.6Purple Book Listings. To the extent of any BioNTech Enforcement Patent Rights, the Parties shall cooperate with each other to enable BioNTech to make filings with Regulatory Authorities, as required or allowed in connection with (a) in the United States, the FDA’s Purple Book and the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act and (b) outside the United States, under the national implementations of Article 10.1(a)(iii) of Directive 2001/EC/83 or other international equivalents thereof within the Territory. Pfizer shall consider BioNTech’s reasonable requests in connection therewith, including meeting any submission deadlines, in each case, to the extent required or permitted by applicable Law.

11.7Allegations of Infringement and Right to Seek Third Party Licenses.

11.7.1Notice. If either Party becomes aware that the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or use of any Candidate or Product, the practice of any BioNTech Technology or Research and Development Program Technology in the Field, or the exercise of any other right granted by BioNTech to Pfizer or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees hereunder (collectively, the “Licensed Activities”) is alleged by a Third Party to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate such Third Party’s Patent Rights or other Intellectual Property Rights or either Party otherwise identifies any Third Party Patent Rights or other Intellectual Property Rights that may be relevant to such Licensed Activities (collectively, an “FTO Action”), such Party will, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the other Party in writing and the Parties will discuss the FTO Action in good faith to determine and agree upon a resolution of the same.

11.7.2Option to Negotiate. If the Parties determine that to resolve the FTO Action it is necessary or useful to obtain a license under one or more Patent Rights or other Intellectual Property Rights Controlled by a Third Party, then [***] will negotiate and enter into a license or other agreement with such Third Party in close coordination with the other Party. If the Parties do not agree that a license from a Third Party is necessary or useful to resolve the FTO Action, the Party who considers a license is necessary or useful to resolve the FTO Action shall be entitled to

Execution Version

negotiate and enter into a license or other agreement with such Third Party, but shall do so keeping the other Party reasonably informed. [***].

11.7.3Option to Challenge. Other than in response to an Infringement Claim, if a Party determines that to anticipate, mitigate or resolve an FTO Action, it is useful or advisable to pre-emptively challenge one or more Patent Rights or other Intellectual Property Rights Controlled by a Third Party by filing suit or bringing an action, including any nullity, revocation, declaratory judgment, interference, inter partes reexamination, reexamination or compulsory license proceeding, then either (a) BioNTech, where the FTO Action predominantly impacts use of BioNTech Technology; or (b) Pfizer, where the FTO Action predominantly impacts use of Pfizer Technology, will, as applicable, have the first right (but not the obligation) to control such suit or action, and any such suit or action shall be at the controlling Party's expense and if that Party does not commence such suit or action the other Party may (but shall not be obliged) to do so. The controlling Party shall, however, be entitled to consider its own contractual obligations to Third Parties that would be impacted when challenging any Patent Rights or other Intellectual Property Rights pursuant to this Section 11.7.3, and if it elects not to pursue any such action then the other Party shall be entitled (but not obliged) to do so. The foregoing shall not preclude or impede a Party from taking any such pre-emptive action in connection with a different product.

11.8Third Party Infringement Suits. Each of the Parties will promptly notify the other in the event that any Third Party files any suit or brings any other action alleging patent infringement by Pfizer or BioNTech or any of their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees with respect to the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or use of any Candidate or Product or the practice of any BioNTech Technology or Research and Development Program Technology (any such suit or other action referred to herein as an “Infringement Claim”). In the case of any Infringement Claim against Pfizer (including its Affiliates or Sublicensees) alone, or against both Pfizer and BioNTech (including their respective Affiliates), Pfizer will have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of such Infringement Claim, including control over any related litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition arising in connection therewith. BioNTech, upon request of Pfizer, agrees to cooperate with Pfizer at Pfizer’s expense. BioNTech will have the right to consult with Pfizer concerning any Infringement Claim and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in any associated litigation in which BioNTech is a party at BioNTech’s own expense. If Pfizer elects to control the defense of any Infringement Claim and BioNTech is obligated under Section 16.3 to indemnify Pfizer (including any Pfizer Indemnified Party) with respect to such Infringement Claim, then (a) Pfizer will bear 100% of its own attorneys’ fees incurred in investigating, preparing or defending such Infringement Claim notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16.3 and (b) BioNTech will otherwise indemnify Pfizer and any applicable Pfizer Indemnified Parties to the full extent provided for under Section 16.3, provided that Pfizer shall not enter into any compromise or settlement with the Third Party in respect of such Infringement Claim without BioNTech’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) where such compromise or settlement requires the payment of monetary penalty or damages that are indemnified by BioNTech under this Agreement. In the case of any Infringement Claim against BioNTech alone, Pfizer will have the right to consult with BioNTech concerning such Infringement Claim and Pfizer, upon request of BioNTech, will reasonably cooperate with BioNTech at BioNTech’s expense. Neither Party will enter into any compromise or settlement in respect of an Infringement Claim admitting or implying that the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or use of any Candidate or Product or the practice of any

Execution Version

BioNTech Technology or Research and Development Program Technology infringes Third Party patents without the other Party’s written consent.

11.9Product Trademarks.

11.9.1Trademark Selection, Clearance and Registration. The Parties shall collaborate to develop a list of potential Trademarks to be used to identify the Products in the Territory. Such list shall be submitted to the JCC for review and the JCC shall, by mutual agreement, select one or more of such potential Trademarks as the Product Trademark for use in identifying the Products in the Territory, provided that no such Product Trademark shall be confusingly similar to any Trademark that either Party or any of its Affiliates then use or have filed or registered in any country in or outside of the Territory (except as permitted by such Party). BioNTech, in consultation with Pfizer, shall be responsible for the creation, filing, registration, and Prosecution and Maintenance of the Product Trademarks, provided that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated therewith (including law firm and service provider costs) as well as costs of any Third Party claims arising from said filing, registration, Prosecution and Maintenance or use of the Product Trademarks shall be shared equally between the Parties (but not as Shared Development Costs). Pfizer, in consultation with BioNTech, shall undertake the searching and clearance of all potential Product Trademarks, provided that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated therewith (including law firm and service provider costs) shall be shared equally between the Parties (but not as Shared Development Costs) and Pfizer and its Affiliates, employees, agents or representatives will not be liable to BioNTech, its Affiliates or licensees in respect of any act, omission, default or neglect on the part of Pfizer, its Affiliates, or their respective employees, agents or representatives in connection with such searching and clearance activities. BioNTech and Pfizer will each perform such actions at the same level of quality as would be performed for their own Trademarks, respectively. BioNTech shall select a reputable law firm (subject to the approval of Pfizer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to instruct, manage and interact with local Trademark agents throughout the Territory and to act as a single point of contact for BioNTech and Pfizer with respect to the filing and Prosecution and Maintenance of applications for and the registration and maintenance of the Product Trademarks in each country of the Territory. BioNTech shall keep Pfizer reasonably informed of the status of the actual and prospective Trademarks filings, prosecution and registration status and any office actions, oppositions or objections received. BioNTech shall not withdraw, surrender, allow to lapse or otherwise permit any Trademark application or registration to cease to have effect in respect of the Product Trademark anywhere in the Territory without Pfizer’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Furthermore, with respect to any office actions, oppositions or other objections received, BioNTech shall consult and cooperate with Pfizer, and take Pfizer’s comments reasonably into account, regarding the strategic approach and costs to handling such matters.

11.9.2Title. Unless otherwise decided by the JCC by mutual agreement, BioNTech will own all right, title and interest in and to the Product Trademarks in the Territory. If the JCC decides to adopt one of the Pfizer pre-existing Trademarks (if offered by Pfizer) as a Product Trademark, then BioNTech shall be responsible for preparing and recording all Trademark assignments necessary to transfer ownership of such Product Trademark to BioNTech, and BioNTech shall bear all costs related thereto including legalization costs, and such Trademark shall be deemed a Product Trademark according to the provisions of this Agreement (including with respect to BioNTech’s responsibility for the same). The Product Trademarks will not use, be comprised of, or incorporate

Execution Version

all or any part of either Party’s House Marks without such Party’s prior written consent, which may be provided or withheld in such Party’s sole discretion. Neither Party will, nor will cause its Affiliates to: (a) challenge any application for a Product Trademark approved by the JCC or the registration thereof in any country in the Territory; (b) file, register or maintain any registrations for any trademarks or trade names that are identical to or confusingly similar to any Product Trademark, in any country without the express prior written consent of the other Party; or (c) authorize or assist any Third Party to do any of the foregoing. Each Party shall own all right, title and interest in any Patient or HCP Support Program Trademarks developed and/or used by or on behalf of such Party in such Party's Commercialization Territory.

11.9.3Domain Names. The Parties shall also collaborate on the selection and registration of domain names incorporating the Product Trademarks. Unless otherwise determined by the JCC by mutual agreement, BioNTech will register, maintain and manage such domain names and will own all right, title and interest in and to such domain names and similar electronic media references. BioNTech shall ensure that all such domain names are timely registered and renewed as necessary to support websites in the Territory related to the Product Trademarks, or for defensive purposes, regardless of which Party operates such websites. All costs in connection with the registration and maintenance of such domains shall be shared equally between the Parties (but not as Shared Development Costs).

11.9.4Required Use and Compliance. Each Party will not and will cause its Affiliates to not use Product Trademarks or the other Party’s House Marks in a way that might materially prejudice their distinctiveness or validity or the goodwill of the other Party therein. Each Party will not and will cause its Affiliates not to use any trademarks or trade names so resembling any of the Product Trademarks as to be likely to cause confusion or deception. Each Party will and will cause its Affiliates (a) to include, where possible, the trademark registration symbol ® or ™, as appropriate, in connection with the use of any Product Trademark or (as requested) the other Party’s House Marks; and (b) not to use any Trademarks or trade names so resembling any of the other Party’s House Marks as to be likely to cause confusion or deception.

11.9.5Trademark Licenses.

11.9.5.1To Pfizer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the Term BioNTech hereby grants to Pfizer and its Affiliates (i) a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the BioNTech House Marks in the Pfizer Commercialization Territory solely as set forth in Section 9.12 and (ii) an exclusive (even as to BioNTech), royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-assignable and sublicensable license to use the Product Trademarks in the Pfizer Commercialization Territory, in each case, solely in connection with the exercise by Pfizer or its Affiliates of Pfizer’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or the performance by Pfizer or its Affiliates of Pfizer’s Commercialization Activities.

BioNTech will use Third Party watch services, as necessary, to monitor filings for Third Party Trademarks that may be similar to the Product Trademarks, and will, in consultation with Pfizer, defend the Product Trademarks against oppositions, cancellations, nullity or other legal actions filed by Third Parties and will promptly, in consultation with Pfizer, undertake to oppose, cancel, nullify or take other appropriate action, where reasonable, against confusingly similar or identical Third Party Trademarks filed for products or services related to those claimed by the Product Trademarks, or where the Third Party use would be dilutive of the Product Trademarks. BioNTech will have the right to determine what action, if any, to take in response to any such Infringement or threatened infringement of any Product Trademark in the BioNTech Commercialization Territory, and Pfizer will have the right to determine what action, if any, that BioNTech should take in response to any such Infringement or threatened Infringement of any Product Trademark in the Pfizer Commercialization Territory, recognizing that in all cases such actions legally may need to be filed or brought in the name of the trademark owner (BioNTech). The Parties will cooperate in good faith to formulate an agreed-upon process for such actions. Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of such oppositions,

Execution Version

cancellations, Infringements, threatened Infringements and other actions. Each Party shall not withdraw, surrender, allow to lapse or otherwise permit any Trademark application or registration to cease to have effect in respect of the Product Trademark without the consent of the other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). All costs in connection with any activities under this Section 11.9.7.1 (including law firm and service provider costs) shall be shared equally between the Parties (but not as Shared Development Costs).

If Pfizer terminates this Agreement pursuant this Section 14.9.1, then: (i) all licenses granted to Pfizer under this Agreement will become irrevocable and perpetual, and Pfizer will have no further obligations to BioNTech under this Agreement other than (A) those obligations that expressly survive termination in accordance with Section 14.8.8 and (B) an obligation to pay royalties with respect to Net Sales of Products in an amount equal to 100% of the amount that would otherwise have been payable under this Agreement, such amount to be paid in accordance with and subject to the other terms of this Agreement governing the payment of royalties; (ii) such termination will not be construed to limit BioNTech’s right to receive payments that accrued before the effective date of such termination; (iii) Pfizer will have the right to offset, against any payment owing to BioNTech as provided for under clause (i), above, any damages found or agreed by the Parties to be owed by BioNTech to Pfizer; and (iv) nothing in this Section 14.9.1 will limit any other remedy Pfizer may have for any breach by BioNTech of this Agreement.

14.9.2Rights to Intellectual Property. All rights and licenses now or hereafter granted by BioNTech to Pfizer under or pursuant to any Section of this Agreement, including Sections 3.1.1, 3.2.1, 3.3, 3.4.1, 3.5.1 and Section 9 hereof, are rights to “intellectual property” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code). The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the payments provided for under Sections 4 and all other payments by Pfizer to BioNTech hereunder or under this Agreement do not constitute royalties within the meaning of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder. If (a) a case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against BioNTech, (b) this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Code and (c) Pfizer elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, then BioNTech (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including any trustee) will provide to Pfizer all Intellectual Property Rights licensed hereunder, and agrees to grant and hereby grants to Pfizer and its Affiliates a right to access and to obtain possession of and to benefit from and, in the case of any chemical or biological material or other tangible item of which there is a fixed or limited quantity, to obtain a pro rata portion of, each of the following to the extent related to any Candidate or Product, or otherwise related to any right or license granted under or pursuant to this Agreement: (i) copies of pre-clinical and clinical research data and results; (ii) all of the following (to the extent that any of the following are so related): BioNTech Materials, cell lines, antibodies, assays, reagents and other biological

BioNTech will not interfere with the exercise by Pfizer or its Affiliates of rights and licenses to Intellectual Property Rights licensed hereunder and embodiments thereof in accordance with this Agreement and agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Pfizer and its Affiliates to obtain such Intellectual Property Rights and embodiments thereof in the possession or control of Third Parties as reasonably necessary or useful for Pfizer or its Affiliates or Sublicensees to exercise such rights and licenses in accordance with this Agreement.

14.9.3No Limitation of Rights. All rights, powers and remedies of Pfizer provided in this Section 14.9 are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Code) in the event of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code involving BioNTech . To the extent equivalent rights exist under the Bankruptcy Code existing from time to time in the jurisdiction where BioNTech is established the foregoing provisions shall be interpreted in accordance with such equivalent rights, and where such equivalent rights to not exist Pfizer shall be entitled to avail of itself all remedies and rights available to it as a creditor and licensee of Intellectual Property Rights under such local Bankruptcy Code.

16.	Limitation of Liability, Indemnification and Insurance

16.1No Consequential Damages. Except with respect to liability arising from a breach of Sections 11 or 12, from any willful misconduct or intentionally wrongful act, or to the extent such Party may be required to indemnify the other Party under this Section 16, in no event will either Party or its Representatives be liable under this Agreement for any special (only as related to indirect, incidental or consequential damages), indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, whether in contract, warranty, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, including loss of indirect profits or revenue suffered by the other Party or any of its Representatives.

16.2Indemnification by Pfizer. Pfizer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless BioNTech, each of its Affiliates, and each of its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “BioNTech Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, causes, or allegations (whether threatened or pending), judgments, expenses, damages, liabilities, obligations, fees (including the reasonable fees of attorneys and other consulting or testifying professionals), costs and losses (collectively, “Liabilities”) that the BioNTech Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties resulting from or arising out of (a) use of the Pfizer Technology, Pfizer Materials, and/or Pfizer Know-How disclosed by or on behalf of Pfizer in accordance with the rights licensed under this Agreement infringing a Third Party Patent Right or misappropriating a Third Party trade secret, (b) use of the Pfizer House Marks in accordance with the rights licensed under this Agreement or (c) the material breach by Pfizer of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 5.4.1, Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 or Section 13.6; except, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of BioNTech or any BioNTech Indemnified Party or to the extent BioNTech indemnifies Pfizer under this Agreement.

16.3Indemnification by BioNTech. BioNTech will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pfizer, its Affiliates, Sublicensees, contractors, distributors and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Pfizer Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that the Pfizer Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties resulting from or arising out of (a) use of the BioNTech Technology [***], BioNTech Materials, and/or BioNTech Know-How disclosed by or on behalf of BioNTech in accordance with the rights licensed under this Agreement infringing a Third Party Patent Right or misappropriating a Third Party trade secret, (b) the Candidates or Products in accordance with the rights licensed under this Agreement, save to the extent the Liabilities are in respect of (i) the exploitation of Pfizer Technology, Pfizer Materials, and/or Pfizer Know-How in accordance with the rights licensed under this Agreement infringing a Third Party Patent Right or misappropriating a Third Party trade secret or (ii) [***]; (c) use of the BioNTech House Marks in accordance with the rights licensed under this Agreement, (d) rights or obligations under the GEIA relating to inventions made by employees of BioNTech or its Affiliates or Third Party Licensors in relation to BioNTech Technology or Research and Development Program Technology used in any Candidate or Product; or (e) the material breach by BioNTech or any of its Representatives of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 8, Section 13.1, Section 13.2, Section 13.3, or Section 13.5; except, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of Pfizer or any Pfizer Indemnified Party or to the extent Pfizer indemnifies BioNTech under this Agreement.

16.4Procedure.

16.4.1Notice. Each Party will notify the other Party in writing in the event it becomes aware of a claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder. In the event that any Third Party asserts a claim or other proceeding (including any governmental investigation) with respect to any matter for which a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) is entitled to indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Party obligated to

118

Execution Version

indemnify the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

16.4.2Control. Subject to either Party’s right to control any actions described in Section 9 (even where the other Party is the Indemnifying Party), the Indemnifying Party will have the right, exercisable by notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to assume direction and control of the defense, litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of the Third Party Claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that (a) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is sought, (b) the Third Party Claim seeks solely monetary damages and (c) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in full (the conditions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above are collectively referred to as the “Litigation Conditions”). [***] after the Indemnifying Party has given notice to the Indemnified Party of its exercise of its right to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any objection thereto based upon the Litigation Conditions. If the Indemnified Party reasonably so objects, the Indemnified Party will continue to defend the Third Party Claim, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, until such time as such objection is withdrawn. If no such notice is given, or if any such objection is withdrawn, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to assume direction and control of such defense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. During such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate, and will cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate upon request of the Indemnifying Party, in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not satisfy the Litigation Conditions or does not notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to defend any Third Party Claim within [***] after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the Indemnifying Party) undertake the defense thereof with counsel of its choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, will have the right to join in (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not control, at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other party is defending as provided in this Agreement.

16.4.3Settlement. The Indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action. The Indemnified Party will have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief, but will not have the right to settle such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim

119

Execution Version

involves monetary damages without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will not make any admission of liability in respect of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, and the Indemnified Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate Liabilities arising from such Third Party Claim.

16.5Insurance . Each Party agrees to obtain and maintain, during the Term, commercial general liability insurance, including products liability insurance (or clinical trials insurance, if applicable), with minimum “A-” A.M. Best rated insurance carriers to cover its indemnification obligations under Section 16.2 or Section 16.3, as applicable, in each case with limits of not less than the equivalent of [***] U.S. Dollars (US $[***]) per occurrence and in the aggregate. All deductibles and retentions will be the responsibility of the named insured. As soon as reasonably possible, but in any case (i) prior to commencing clinical trials, with respect to clinical trials insurance in a country or (ii) prior to the First Commercial Sale, with respect to commercial general liability and products liability policies in a country, BioNTech will amend its existing insurance policies in such a way that (a) Pfizer and its Affiliates will be indemnified as principal or will be added as additional insureds on BioNTech’s commercial general liability and products liability policies (or clinical trials insurance, if applicable) and (b) Pfizer and its Affiliates will be provided a waiver of subrogation on BioNTech’s commercial general liability and products liability policies (or clinical trials insurance, if applicable). BioNTech represents and warrants that, as of the Amendment Signing Date, Pfizer and its Affiliates have been added as additional insureds to BioNTech’s primary pharma products liability insurance for the development, production and distribution of the covid19-vaccine taken out after the Effective Date for an amount equivalent to [***] U.S. Dollars (US $[***]) per occurrence and in the aggregate, and Pfizer Inc. and its Affiliates are provided a waiver of subrogation under this policy. BioNTech undertakes to use reasonable efforts to have Pfizer and its Affiliates named as additional insureds on BioNTech’s secondary pharma products liability insurance for the development, production and distribution of the covid19-vaccine. Should BioNTech be successful in reaching agreement with its pharma products liability insurers to name Pfizer and its Affiliates as additional insureds and provide them with a waiver of subrogation, BioNTech will report this and any increase to the insurance premiums to Pfizer. If there will be an increase in BioNTech’s insurance premiums as a result of making the requested change to BioNTech’s secondary pharma products liability insurance for the development, production and distribution of the covid19-vaccine, Pfizer shall confirm its desire for Pfizer and its Affiliates to be named on such policies and shall indemnify BioNTech against such increase in insurance premiums. For U.S. exposures, additional insured status on BioNTech’s pharma products liability insurance for the development, production and distribution of the covid19-vaccine shall be via form CG20101185 or its equivalent. Pharma products liability coverage shall be maintained for three years following termination of this Agreement. To the extent of its culpability, negligence or indemnification obligations, all coverages of BioNTech will be primary and non-contributing with any similar insurance, carried by Pfizer. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 16.5 to the contrary, Pfizer may meet its obligations under this Section 16.5 through self-insurance. Neither Party’s insurance will be construed to create a limit of liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Section 16. A minimum of thirty (30) days written cancellation notice shall be given to the other Party for any cancellation, non-renewal or material change of coverage.

17.	Miscellaneous

17.1Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder will be assignable by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as follows: (a) subject to the provisions of

Exhibit B
Pfizer Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Principles

Pfizer has a longstanding corporate policy that prohibits colleagues or anyone acting on our behalf from providing any payment or benefit to any person or entity in order to improperly influence a government official or to gain an unfair business advantage. Pfizer is committed to performing with integrity, and acting ethically and legally in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. We expect the same commitment from the consultants, agents, representatives or other companies and individuals acting on our behalf (“Business Associates”), as well as those acting on behalf of Business Associates, in connection with work for Pfizer.

Bribery of Government Officials

Most countries have laws that forbid making, offering or promising any payment or anything of value (directly or indirectly) to a government official when the payment is intended to influence an official act or decision to award or retain business. Under Pfizer’s policies, “government official” is broadly interpreted and includes: (i) any elected or appointed government official (e.g., a member of a ministry of health); (ii) any employee or person acting for or on behalf of a government official, agency, or enterprise performing a governmental function; (iii) any political party, candidate for public office, officer, employee, or person acting for or on behalf of a political party or candidate for public office; or (iv) an employee or person acting for or on behalf of a public international organization (e.g., the United Nations). “Government” is meant to include all levels and subdivisions of governments (i.e., local, regional, or national and administrative, legislative, or executive). Because this definition of “government official” is so broad, it is likely that Business Associates will interact with a government official in the ordinary course of their business on behalf of Pfizer. For example, doctors employed by government-owned hospitals would be considered “government officials” under Pfizer’s policies.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”) prohibits making, promising, or authorizing the making of a payment or providing anything of value to a non-U.S. government official to improperly or corruptly induce that official to make any governmental act or decision to assist a company in obtaining or retaining business, or to otherwise obtain an improper advantage. The FCPA also prohibits a company or person from using another company or individual to engage in any of the foregoing activities. As a U.S. company, Pfizer must comply with the FCPA and could be held liable as a result of acts committed anywhere in the world by a Business Associate.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Principles Governing Interactions with Governments and Government Officials

Business Associates must communicate and abide by the following principles with regard to their interactions with governments and government officials:

•

Business Associates, and those acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, may not directly or indirectly make, promise, or authorize the making of a corrupt payment or provide anything of value to any government official to induce that government official to make any governmental act or decision to help Pfizer obtain or retain business. Business Associates, and those acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, may never make a payment to or offer a government official any item or benefit, regardless of value, as an improper inducement for such government official to approve, reimburse, prescribe, or purchase a Pfizer product, to influence the outcome of a clinical trial, or otherwise improperly to benefit Pfizer’s business activities.

130

•

Business Associates, and those acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, need to understand whether local laws, regulations, or operating procedures (including requirements imposed by government entities such as government-owned hospitals or research institutions) impose any limits, restrictions, or disclosure requirements on compensation, financial support, donations, or gifts that may be provided to government officials. Business Associates, and those acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, must take into account and comply with any applicable restrictions in conducting their Pfizer-related activities. If a Business Associate is uncertain as to the meaning or applicability of any identified limits, restrictions, or disclosure requirements with respect to interactions with government officials, that Business Associate should consult with his or her primary Pfizer contact before undertaking their activities.

•

Business Associates, and those acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, are not permitted to offer facilitation payments. A “facilitation payment” is a nominal, unofficial payment to a government official for the purpose of securing or expediting the performance of a routine, non-discretionary governmental action. Examples of facilitation payments include payments to expedite the processing of licenses, permits or visas for which all paperwork is in order. In the event that a Business Associate, or someone acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, receives or becomes aware of a request or demand for a facilitation payment or bribe in connection with work for Pfizer, the Business Associate shall report such request or demand promptly to his or her primary Pfizer contact before taking any further action.

Commercial Bribery

Bribery and corruption can also occur in non-government, business to business relationships. Most countries have laws which prohibit offering, promising, giving, requesting, receiving, accepting, or agreeing to accept money or anything of value in exchange for an improper business advantage. Examples of prohibited conduct could include, but are not limited to, the provision of inappropriate gifts or hospitality, kickbacks, or investment opportunities offered to improperly induce the purchase of goods or services. Pfizer colleagues are not permitted to offer, give, solicit or accept bribes, and we expect our Business Associates, and those acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, to abide by the same principles.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Principles Governing Interactions with Private Parties and Pfizer Colleagues

Business Associates must communicate and abide by the following principles with regard to their interactions with private parties and Pfizer colleagues:

•

Business Associates, and those acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, may not directly or indirectly, solicit, agree to accept, or receive a payment or anything of value as an improper inducement in connection with their business activities performed for Pfizer.

•

Pfizer colleagues are not permitted to receive gifts, services, perks, entertainment, or other items of more than token or nominal monetary value from Business Associates, and those acting on their behalf in connection with work for Pfizer. Moreover, gifts of nominal value are only permitted if they are received on an infrequent basis and only at appropriate occasions.

131

Reporting Suspected or Actual Violations

Business Associates, and those acting on behalf in connection with work for Pfizer, are expected to raise concerns related to potential violations of these International Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Principles or the law. Such reports can be made to a Business Associate’s primary point of contact at Pfizer, or if an Associate prefers, to Pfizer’s Compliance Group, by e-mail at xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx or by phone at 0-000-000-0000.

Exhibit C
Pfizer’s Corporate Policy regarding Animal Care and Use (v. 1.2, June 18, 2017)

BACKGROUND

Pfizer is dedicated to helping people and animals live longer, healthier lives through the discovery and development of breakthrough medicines and therapies. Animal-based biomedical research in the pharmaceutical industry remains a vital component of the discovery, evaluation and regulatory processes, which lead to the development of products that save or improve human lives throughout the world. Pfizer’s Animal Care and Use policy reflects our absolute commitment that all animals used by our business are treated humanely. This means that any research involving animals is conducted only after appropriate ethical consideration and review. This review ensures that we provide a high level of care to all animals used, and that a scientifically appropriate and validated alternative to the use of animals is not available.

Why We Conduct Animal-based Biomedical Research

Pfizer is ethically and legally obliged to rigorously evaluate potential new medicines and therapies. Many of these evaluations can be, and are, accomplished by techniques that do not require the use of animals. However, given the present state of scientific knowledge, testing potential new medicines and therapies in animals is frequently critical to their evaluation, and is required by regulatory authorities worldwide to ensure the quality, efficacy and safety of the medicines we discover.

Pfizer’s Commitment to Ethical and Humane Treatment of Animals

Pfizer accepts its responsibility to use animals in a humane and ethical manner and expects all Colleagues to treat animals with respect. We approach the use of animals in our business with a high level of humane and ethical concern for those animals. All use is carefully planned and conducted in such a way as to minimize or avoid pain, distress, or discomfort to the animals. Every proposed use is thoroughly evaluated before being undertaken as the health and well-being of all animals under our care is a primary concern. Similarly, we expect any Third Party organization we engage to conduct animal-based research on our behalf to adhere to this Policy and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Pfizer’s Commitment to Alternatives to Animal-based Biomedical Research

Pfizer is fully committed to the development and use of scientifically validated alternative testing methods that are acceptable to regulatory authorities and do not compromise patient safety or the effectiveness of our medicines. Pfizer continues to engage and lead cross-industry efforts aimed at developing and refining new in-vitro testing and predictive informatics-based systems that hold promise for future reduction of animal usage. Pfizer works directly with regulators and through pharmaceutical trade organizations to increase the recognition and acceptance of alternative models where such alternatives can be used appropriately.

POLICY

For as long as it remains necessary to use animals in the discovery, development, evaluation and production of new medicines, we commit to maintaining high standards in the humane treatment of these animals. Significantly, we embrace the principles known as the “3Rs” of animal research first proposed in 1959 by Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx to describe the use of alternatives in animal research. These are:

Replacement of animal experiments with non-animal experiments such as mathematical models, computer simulations, and in-vitro biological systems wherever appropriate; and where animals must be used;

Reduction of the numbers of animals used in each study, and of the number of studies involving animals, to the absolute minimum necessary to obtain valid results and achieve our research objectives; and

Refinement of procedures involving animals to minimize the potential for pain and distress.

133

In addition to the 3R’s, and to further assure we maintain high standards for our animals, we have adopted the following guidelines:

☐	When animal experimentation is necessary, great care is taken to choose the most appropriate animal species for the research and to optimize the study design to ensure that the results will be as meaningful as possible.

☐	Non-human primates will only be used when scientifically justified, for example in cases where other species will not provide sufficiently close analogues to the biological pathways and responses expected in humans.

☐	All studies are carefully designed to gain the maximum information from the fewest number of animals possible.

☐	Each proposed use of animals is reviewed and approved by a panel of objective experts prior to performing any experiments to ensure that the use of the animals is consistent with sound scientific practices and ethical considerations.

☐	Our standards of animal care and welfare meet or exceed those required by applicable local, national, or international laws and regulations.

☐	We regularly monitor our animals for signs of ill health or distress and take prompt action wherever appropriate. We make veterinary care available to our animals at all times.

☐	Our veterinarians and scientists evaluate every proposed animal procedure with an emphasis on eliminating or minimizing any potential for pain or distress which may be experienced by the animals.

☐

We train all Colleagues involved in the care, welfare and use of animals to ensure (a) that they are competent in the care of the animals and in the procedures required to complete the proposed work; (b) that they are aware of the ethical issues involved in the use of animals; and (c) that they demonstrate respect and humane treatment towards the animals in their care.

☐

We expect our contract research organizations, collaborators and vendors to maintain similar high standards. Parties conducting animal based research for Pfizer at their facilities are required to adhere to this Policy and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We perform welfare audits of Third Party facilities in accordance with our quality assurance policies.

☐

Because respect is a key tenant in our use of animals, we have also established standards regarding the use of animals in the marketing of Pfizer products. If advertisements featuring animals are used, any animal shown should be healthy and in a natural or appropriate setting. Non-human primates should not be used in the advertising of Pfizer products, and other wild animals will also not be used unless they are shown in their natural setting or portrayed through animation or computer-generated graphics.

This Policy represents Pfizer’s commitment to high-quality animal care and welfare throughout our business, and to the replacement, reduction and refinement of the use of animals in research. We are equally committed to bringing important and safe new medicines to patients.
