4. In the event that CUREVAC elects not to participate in further development and trials of the resulting vaccine candidate(s) in accordance with the previous paragraph and the Foundation wishes to proceed, CUREVAC and the Foundation will enter into good faith negotiations to conclude an agreement whereby the Foundation and one or more of its partners or grantees reasonably agreed-to by CUREVAC will proceed with such development and trials. For the purpose of clarity, nothing in this Agreement obligates CUREVAC to participate in or proceed with such development and trials even if the success criteria for this Agreement have been met.

5. The negotiations contemplated in the previous paragraph will address any necessary licenses to Background and Project IPR as well as access and permissions to use data generated by CUREVAC under this Agreement for the purpose of enabling the Foundation and its partner(s) or grantee(s) to proceed with the development and trials.
