d. CUREVAC will submit invoices to the Foundation for any amounts owing under this Agreement. Each invoice will contain enough detail of expenses incurred by CUREVAC to enable the Foundation to determine the accuracy of the amount(s) invoiced and include the contract number for this Agreement.

e. CUREVAC will deliver each invoice to the Foundation within [*****] of the period during which the expenses were incurred by CUREVAC or upon the execution of this Agreement at the discretion of CUREVAC. Upon completion of activities under this Agreement, CUREVAC will identify the “final invoice” and will not invoice the Foundation any further amounts unless the Parties execute an amendment to this Agreement. The Foundation’s payment to CUREVAC of each properly-submitted invoice will be due [*****] after the Foundation receives that invoice.

f. CUREVAC will maintain complete and accurate records to support all invoiced amounts, including but not limited to those factors that comprise or affect direct and subcontracted labor hours, labor rates, and expenses. Such records will be made available to the Foundation at a mutually agreed-upon location for the Foundation’s examination and audit once every 12months during reasonable business hours, upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice, from the Effective Date of thisAgreement until eighteen (18) months after its expiration. CUREVAC will also provide reasonable assistance to interpret such records if requested by the Foundation.
