LONZA shall: (i) maintain MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How in confidence with the same degree of care with which LONZA holds its own like confidential manufacturing information, (ii) disclose the MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How only to those employees of LONZA or its Affiliates who have a need to know such MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How to conduct activities for the Products under this Agreement, including any relevant Statement of Work, and (iii) use the MODERNA Manufacturing Know- How only for Manufacturing and supplying the applicable Product under the relevant Statement of Work and for no other purpose. LONZA will apply appropriate firewall protections and safeguards for all MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How to prevent the MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How from being disclosed, transferred or used to or by any LONZA personnel that are not conducting activities relating to the Products under the relevant Statement of Work. LONZA will not disclose, transfer or use any MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How to any Third Party without the prior written consent of MODERNA, which consent will be at MODERNA’s sole discretion. For clarity, Section 10.4 will not apply to any MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How.

b.Government-Required Disclosure. If a duly constituted Governmental Authority, court or Regulatory Authority orders that a Party hereto disclose information subject to an obligation of confidentiality under this Agreement, such Party shall comply with the order, but shall notify the other Party as soon as possible, so as to provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to apply to a court of record for relief from the order or for confidential treatment thereof, and thereafter such Party shall disclose only the minimum information required to be disclosed in order to comply.

c.Publicity.

i.Neither Party will refer to, display or use the other’s name, trademarks or trade names confusingly similar thereto, alone or in conjunction with any other words or names, in any manner or connection whatsoever, including any publication, article, or any form of advertising or publicity, except with the prior written consent of the other Party or as otherwise set forth in this Section 10.7.

ii.Neither Party may issue any press release or make any other public announcement or statement concerning this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the terms hereof, without the prior written approval of the other Party, except as may be required by Applicable Law. In the event either Party (the “Issuing Party”) desires to issue a press release or other public statement disclosing information relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the terms hereof, the Issuing Party will provide the other Party (the “Reviewing Party”) with a copy of the proposed press release or public statement (the “Release”) and seek the Reviewing Party’s prior written consent; provided that no such consent shall be required for press releases or other public statements required by Applicable Law (but the Issuing Party shall still provide the Reviewing Party with a copy of the Release for comment in accordance with this Section 10.7). The Issuing Party will specify with each such Release, taking into account the urgency of the matter being disclosed, a reasonable period of time within which the Reviewing Party may provide any comments on such Release and if the Reviewing Party fails to provide any comments during the response period called for by the Issuing Party, the Reviewing Party will be deemed to have not consented to the issuance of such Release. If the Reviewing







Party provides any comments, the Parties will consult on such Release and work in good faith to prepare a mutually acceptable Release. Either Party may subsequently publicly disclose any information previously contained in any Release so consented to.

i.Notwithstanding Section 10.7.2 or anything herein to the contrary, MODERNA’s obligation to submit any press release or other public announcement or statement concerning this Agreement to LONZA for prior written approval will not apply to any press release or other public announcement or statement regarding the achievement of any milestone identified in a Statement of Work, including regarding Process or Product development, Technology Transfer, or Process or Product Manufacture.

a.Securities Filings; Law. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party may submit this Agreement to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any other securities exchange and if a Party does submit this Agreement to the SEC or any other securities exchange, such Party agrees to consult with the other Party with respect to the preparation and submission of, a confidential treatment request for this Agreement. If a Party is required by Applicable Law to make a disclosure of the terms of this Agreement in a filing with or other submission to the SEC or any other securities exchange or otherwise to comply with Applicable Law, and (i) such Party has provided copies of the disclosure to the other Party as far in advance of such filing or other disclosure as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, (ii) such Party has promptly notified the other Party in writing of such requirement and any respective timing constraints, and (iii) such Party has given the other Party a reasonable amount of time under the circumstances from the date of notice by such Party of the required disclosure to comment upon, request confidential treatment or approve such disclosure, then such Party will have the right to make such public disclosure at the time and in the manner reasonably determined by its counsel to be required by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is hereby understood and agreed that if a Party is seeking to make a disclosure as set forth in this Section 10.8, and the other Party provides comments within the respective time periods or constraints specified herein or within the respective notice, the Party seeking to make such disclosure or its counsel, as the case may be, will in good faith consider incorporating such comments.

1.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

a.Ownership.

i.Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, neither Party will, as a result of this Agreement, acquire any right, title, or interest in any Technology of the other Party. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, ownership of any Technology that is developed, conceived, invented, first reduced to practice or made in connection with the performance under this Agreement shall follow inventorship all as determined under Applicable Laws.

ii.Subject to LONZA’s right, title and interest in and to any and all LONZA Improvements, MODERNA shall own all right, title, and interest in and to any and all MODERNA Improvements. LONZA hereby assigns to MODERNA (or its designee), without additional compensation, all of LONZA’s right, title and interest in and to such MODERNA Improvements. LONZA shall promptly disclose to MODERNA in writing all MODERNA Improvements. LONZA shall execute, and shall require its







personnel as well as its Affiliates, or other contractors or agents and their personnel involved in the performance of this Agreement to execute, any documents reasonably required to confirm MODERNA’s ownership of MODERNA Improvements, and any documents required to apply for, maintain and enforce any patent or other right in the MODERNA Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the license granted in Section 11.2.2, LONZA shall own all right, title and interest in and to any and all LONZA Improvements.

a.License Grants.

i.During the Term, MODERNA hereby grants to LONZA a fully paid-up, non- exclusive license, without the right to grant sublicenses, under any and all MODERNA Technology, MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How, and MODERNA Improvements that are necessary for LONZA to perform its obligations under this Agreement for the sole and limited purpose of LONZA’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the relevant Statements of Work, including, without limitation, the development of the Process (if and to the extent applicable in the relevant Statements of Work) and the Manufacture of Product for MODERNA as set forth in the relevant Statements of Work. Except as set forth in this Section 11.2.1, Lonza shall not by virtue of this Agreement acquire any right, license or title in or to any MODERNA Technology, MODERNA Manufacturing Know-How, MODERNA Improvements, Products or Process.

ii.LONZA hereby grants to MODERNA a non-exclusive, world-wide, fully paid-up, perpetual, transferable (subject to the assignment provisions) license, including the right to grant sublicenses, under the LONZA Technology and LONZA Improvements, to use, sell, offer to sell, import and export the Product Manufactured under this Agreement, including any Statement of Work. In the event and to the extent that the Services or the Process incorporates, uses or contains non-commercially available LONZA Technology or LONZA Improvements that are not specifically agreed to by MODERNA in the relevant Statement of Work and that would be necessary for MODERNA or a Third Party contract manufacturer to Manufacture Products or would otherwise require MODERNA to obtain a license to the non-commercially available LONZA Technology or LONZA Improvements , LONZA hereby grants to MODERNA and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable license (subject to the assignment provisions), including the right to grant sublicenses, under such non- commercially available LONZA Technology or LONZA Improvements that are incorporated, used or contained in the Services or Process to Manufacture (or have Manufactured) Products (but no other products). For clarity LONZA will use its operating documents and standard operating procedures (“LONZA Operating Documents”) in performing the Services but LONZA Operating Documents are not necessary for MODERNA or a third party contract manufacturer to manufacture Product as it is assumed that MODERNA or a third party contract manufacturer would have its own operating documents and standard operating procedures. LONZA Operating Documents will not be provided in a technology transfer to MODERNA or a third party contract manufacturer for manufacturing Product.

b.Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to take all necessary and proper acts, and will cause its employees, Affiliates, contractors, and consultants to take such necessary and proper acts, to effectuate the ownership provisions set forth in this Article 11.

c.Prosecution of Patents.







i.LONZA will have the sole right and discretion to file, prosecute and maintain patent applications and patents claiming LONZA Technology or LONZA Improvements at LONZA’s expense.

ii.MODERNA will have the sole right and discretion to file, prosecute and maintain patent applications and patents claiming MODERNA Technology or MODERNA Improvements at MODERNA’s expense. LONZA will cooperate with MODERNA to file, prosecute and maintain patent applications and patents claiming MODERNA Technology or MODERNA Improvements.

TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS CLAUSE CONFLICTS WITH ANY OTHER CLAUSE, THIS CLAUSE SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER SUCH CONFLICTING CLAUSE. IF APPLICABLE LAW PREVENTS ENFORCEMENT OF THIS CLAUSE, THEN THIS CLAUSE SHALL BE DEEMED







MODIFIED TO PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM PROTECTION FOR LONZA AS IS ALLOWABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

1.TERM AND TERMINATION

a.Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date unless terminated prior to that time or extended by the Parties (the “Initial Term”). This Agreement will automatically renew for successive additional periods of two (2) years (collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless MODERNA provides written notice to LONZA at least [***] prior to the end of the then-current Term that it declines to extend the Term. The term of each SOW shall be set forth in such SOW.

b.Termination for Material Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, by written notice to the other Party, for any material breach of this Agreement by the other Party, if such breach is not cured within [***] after the breaching Party receives written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party; provided, however, that if such breach is not capable of being cured within such thirty-day period and the breaching Party has commenced and diligently continued actions to cure such breach within such thirty-day period, except in the case of a payment default, the cure period shall be extended to 90 days, so long as the breaching Party is making diligent efforts to do so. Such termination shall be effective upon expiration of such cure period; provided that in the event that the breaching Party disputes in good faith the non-breaching Party’s grounds for terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 15.2, then the Parties shall refer such dispute for resolution in accordance with Section 18.14, and the provisions therein shall apply. To the extent any material breach by a Party relates specifically to an SOW, the non-breaching Party may elect to have the termination rights set forth in this Section 15.2 apply to just such SOW, rather than to this Agreement generally.

c.Termination Without Cause. MODERNA may terminate any SOW by providing written notice of termination no less than [***] in advance of the date of termination. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of termination of any SOW by MODERNA under this Section 15.3, MODERNA shall remain liable for all fees owed pursuant to such Statement of Work.

d.Termination by Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other Party, upon (a) the dissolution, termination of existence, liquidation or business failure of the other Party; (b) the appointment of a custodian or receiver for the other Party who has not been terminated or dismissed within [***] of such appointment; (c) the institution by the other Party of any proceeding under national, federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or the making by such Party of a composition or any assignment for the benefit of creditors under any national, federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other similar law affecting the rights of creditors generally, which proceeding is not dismissed within [***] of filing. All rights and licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code, licenses of rights of “intellectual property” as defined therein.

e.Effects of Termination.







i.Accrued Rights. Termination of this Agreement or any SOW for any reason will be without prejudice to any rights that will have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination. Such termination will not relieve a Party of obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the termination of this Agreement or such SOW. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event of termination of this Agreement or an SOW, LONZA shall be compensated for any Cancellation Fees (if any) in accordance with the relevant Statements of Work. In the case of termination by LONZA for MODERNA’s material breach in accordance with Section 15.2, all scheduled Services and Batches shall be deemed cancelled by MODERNA, and Cancellation Fees set forth in the relevant Statements of Work shall be calculated as of the date of written notice of termination.

ii.Disposition of Remaining MODERNA Property and Confidential Information. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, LONZA will, at MODERNA’s option, return or destroy any MODERNA Confidential Information in the possession or control of LONZA. Likewise, MODERNA will, at LONZA’s option, return or destroy any LONZA Confidential Information in the possession or control of MODERNA. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions: (i) LONZA may retain and preserve, in a secure manner, at its sole cost and expense, samples and standards of each Product following termination or expiration of this Agreement as required by Applicable Law solely for use in determining LONZA’s rights and obligations hereunder; (ii) MODERNA may retain and preserve, in a secure manner, any LONZA Confidential Information following termination or expiration of this Agreement (A) for use in determining MODERNA’s rights and obligations hereunder, (B) as necessary, in connection with MODERNA’s regulatory filings or Regulatory Approvals, or (C) as required by Applicable Law and (iii) each Party may retain a single copy of the other Party’s Confidential Information for documentation purposes only and which shall remain subject to the obligations of nonuse and confidentiality set forth in this Agreement.

b.Business Continuity Plan. LONZA acknowledges the importance to MODERNA of an uninterrupted supply of Products. Based on the information available at the Effective Date, LONZA has, and reasonably expects that despite the COVID-19 Pandemic it will continue to have the available capacity and staff designated “essential workers” under Applicable Laws to perform Services and Manufacture and supply Product under this Agreement.

Neither Party may assign its interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, a Party shall be entitled without the prior written consent of the other Party to assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or to any company to which such Party may transfer all or substantially all of its assets or capital stock relating to the activities contemplated under this Agreement, whether through purchase, acquisition, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise. Any permitted assignment of this Agreement by either Party will be conditioned upon such Party’s permitted assignee agreeing in writing to comply with all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Any purported assignment without a required consent shall be null and void. No assignment shall relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any obligation that accrued prior to the effective date of such assignment.

c.Waiver. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the Party granting the waiver. The failure of any Party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement (including any Appendix hereto) will in no manner affect its rights at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any Party of any term, provision or condition contained in this Agreement (including any Appendix hereto), whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement (including any Appendix hereto).

d.Dispute Resolution.

i.Disputes; Dispute Escalation. Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement, disputes of any nature arising under, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement will be exclusively resolved pursuant to this Section 18.14. If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute, despite their good faith efforts, either Party may, by written notice to the other, have such dispute referred to the Executive Officers (or their designees, which designee is required to have decision-making authority on behalf of such Party), who will attempt to resolve such dispute by negotiation and consultation for a [***] period following receipt of such written notice. Notwithstanding the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 18, in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement, the aggrieved Party may seek provisional equitable relief (including restraining orders, specific performance or other injunctive relief), without first submitting to any dispute resolution procedures hereunder.

ii.Full Arbitration. In the event that no agreement is reached by the Executive Officers (or other designees) with respect to a dispute within [***] after its referral to them, either Party may at any time after such [***] period submit such dispute to be finally settled by arbitration administered in accordance with the procedural rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect at the time of submission, as modified by this Section 18.14. The arbitration







will be heard and determined by three (3) arbitrators who are retired judges or attorneys with at least ten
(10) years of relevant experience in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, each of whom will be impartial and independent. Each Party will appoint one arbitrator and the third arbitrator will be selected by the two Party-appointed arbitrators, or, failing agreement within [***] following appointment of the second arbitrator, by AAA. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted, and the award shall be rendered, in the English language. Fees, costs and expenses of arbitration are to be divided by the Parties in the following manner: [***].

i.Expedited Arbitration. Notwithstanding Section 18.14.2 the Parties may agree to refer a dispute to expedited arbitration (an “Expedited Dispute”) rather than resolve the same pursuant to Section 18.14.2. Any such Expedited Dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (Expedited Rules) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Expedited Rules”). Arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York by one (1) arbitrator who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Parties and who shall be appointed in accordance with the AAA Expedited Rules. If the Parties are unable to select an arbitrator within [***] of the notice that initiated the arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the AAA Expedited Rules. Any arbitrator chosen hereunder shall have educational training and industry experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of scientific, financial, medical and industry knowledge relevant to the particular dispute. [***].

ii.Arbitration Award. The arbitrator(s) shall issue their decision in writing, setting forth the basis for such decision. The arbitration award so given will be a final and binding determination of the dispute, will be fully enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Except in a proceeding to enforce the results of the arbitration or as otherwise required by law, neither Party nor any arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

iii.Tolling. The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) shall be tolled while the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 18.14 are pending, and the Parties shall cooperate in taking all actions reasonably necessary to achieve such a result. In addition, during the pendency of any dispute under this Agreement initiated before the end of the cure period under Section 15.2, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the time periods for cure under Section 15.2 shall be tolled. Notwithstanding the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 18.14, in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement, the aggrieved Party may seek provisional equitable relief (including restraining orders, specific performance or other injunctive relief), without first submitting to any dispute resolution procedures hereunder.

iv.Confidentiality. Any and all activities conducted under this Section 18.14, including any and all non-public proceedings and decisions under Section 18.14.2, will be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and will be subject to the terms of 10.







a.No Presumption Against Drafter. For purposes of this Agreement, each Party hereby waives any rule of construction that requires that ambiguities in this Agreement (including any Appendix hereto) be construed against the drafter.

b.No Third Party Beneficiaries. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and they will not be construed as conferring any rights on any other persons other than MODERNA Indemnitees and LONZA Indemnitees pursuant to the indemnification provisions of Sections 16.1 and 16.2.

c.Further Assurances. The Parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and shall take all such other incidental acts as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.
