Subscription Agreement regarding AC Immune SA as of 16 October 2015				16

To the extent the claimed Loss is remedied in full by the Company immediately upon receiving notification of the Loss, or at the latest within one month after receiving the claim, and provided the Company has established the contractually due status, the claim shall lapse and be of no further effect.

Subject to Section 8.4 hereinafter and subject to the subsequent paragraph, the Loss shall be compensated in full by the Company by way of a compensatory capital increase of the Company’s share capital (“Compensatory Capital Increase”). The Compensatory Capital Increase shall be resolved and completed without undue delay after the demand by such Investor or Investors.

As part of the Compensatory Capital Increase, the Investors shall be invited, to the exclusion of the subscription rights of all other Shareholders, to subscribe to the number of Series E Preferred Shares at its nominal value (currently CHF 5.00) per share so that the Investors shall receive such participation in the Company’s share capital as if the Investors had invested the funds committed under this Subscription Agreement and the additional funds provided in the Compensatory Capital Increase from the start at the Reduced Valuation. The “Reduced Valuation” shall be equal to a pre-money valuation of the Company (i.e. before the Series E Financing Round) less the amount of all Losses.

To the extent that the Compensatory Capital Increase cannot be implemented, resolved or is blocked for whatever reason for a period of 90 days after the claim is due, the Company shall indemnify the Investors irrespective of fault for any Loss through a payment in cash.

The remedies in this Section 8.3 for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty under this Subscription Agreement by the Company shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the remedies provided for under statutory law. All other remedies including, without limitation, the right to rescind this Subscription Agreement shall, subject to the right of termination and rescission in accordance with Section 6, not apply and are expressly excluded and waived.

8.4	Limitations on Liability by the Company

The liability of the Company and towards all Investors for misrepresentations or breaches of warranties under this Subscription Agreement shall be excluded if the aggregate amount of the claimed Basket Losses for all Investors does not exceed CHF 1’000’000; provided, however, in the case the total claimed Basket Losses exceed CHF 1’000’000, the entire Loss (and not only the amount above the claimed Basket Losses) is to be compensated.
