(3) an acquisition of Voting Securities pursuant to a transaction described in clause (iii) below that would not be a Change of Control under clause (iii);

Provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the following event will not constitute an “acquisition” by any person or group for purposes of this subsection (i): an acquisition of Company’s securities by Company (the “Securities Repurchase”) which causes Company’s Voting Securities beneficially owned by a person or group to represent fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities, except that such Securities Repurchase will constitute a Change of Control if and when such person or group, after such Securities Repurchase, becomes the beneficial owner of any additional Voting Securities of Company;

(2) a transaction after which no person or group beneficially owns Voting Securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group will be treated for purposes of this clause (2) as beneficially owning fifty percent (50%) or more of combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in Company prior to the consummation of the transaction.

(c) In the event Executive terminates his employment under circumstances which constitute Good Reason, and provided that Executive executes and does not revoke a release as provided in Section 8, Company will pay or grant Executive the Severance Benefits according to Section 7.2(b), provided that Company will have the right to withhold further payments of unpaid Severance Benefits, upon its notice to Executive of the Board’s good faith reasonable belief, and the basis for the reasonable belief, that Executive has breached any of his post-termination obligations to Company.

In the event that Company pays Executive any Severance Benefits, such payments may be fully set off against the Non-Compete Payment.

In case of a continuing breach, the liquidated damages will be due for each month during which such breach continues. In addition, Company will not be required to make any Non-Compete Payments with respect to each month during which such breach exists or continues.

Executive represents and agrees that he is entering into this Agreement freely and with knowledge of its contents with the intent to be bound by the Agreement and the restrictions contained in it.

11.4 Remedies. Executive agrees that it may be impossible to assess the damages caused by Executive’s violation of this Agreement or any of its terms. Executive agrees that any threatened or actual violation of this Agreement or any of its terms will constitute immediate and irreparable injury to Company and Company will have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that Company may have for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

11.5 Severability. In the event that a court finds this Agreement, or any of its restrictions, to be ambiguous, unenforceable, or invalid, the parties agree that the court will read the Agreement as a whole and interpret the restriction(s) at issue to be enforceable and valid to the maximum extent allowed by law. If the court declines to enforce this Agreement in the manner provided in this Section 11.5, Executive and Company agree that this Agreement will be automatically modified to provide Company with the maximum protection of its business interests allowed by law and Executive agrees to be bound by this Agreement as modified. In case any one or more of the provisions, subsections, or sentences contained in this Agreement will, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

11.6 Waiver. If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement or fail to enforce performance by the other party, he or it will not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach or performance of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. Any such waiver will be effective only if made in writing and signed by the Party waiving such breach or performance.

11.7 Complete Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and its Exhibits, constitute the entire agreement between Executive and Company and it is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this subject matter. This Agreement replaces all previous agreements regarding the service relationship of Executive with Company. After commencement of the Agreement Executive does not have any further claim to compensation, including bonuses which were agreed in the contract replaced by this Agreement, except outstanding due amounts. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein. This Agreement cannot be modified or amended except in a writing signed by an authorized representative of Company and Executive.

11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

11.9 Assignment; Assumption by Successor; Non-transferability of Interest.

(a) Company may assign this Agreement, without the consent of Executive, to any business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of Company. Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Company expressly to assume and to agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place; provided, however, that no such assumption will relieve Company of its obligations hereunder. As used in this Agreement, the “Company” will mean Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

(b) None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement will be assignable or transferable except through a testamentary disposition or by the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of Executive. Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition (other than as aforesaid) of any interest in the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation to be made by Company pursuant to this Agreement will be void.

11.10 Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and will not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

11.11 Construction. The language in all parts of this Agreement will in all cases be construed simply, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the

parties hereto. Without limitation, there will be no presumption against any party on the ground that such party was responsible for drafting this Agreement or any part thereof. This Agreement will be executed in an English and a German version. In the unlikely event of any inconsistencies between the English and the German version, the German version will control.

11.12 Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of Germany as applicable to contracts made and wholly performed within Germany by residents of Germany. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Munich, Germany, for any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) related thereto except in such courts. The parties further hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the courts of Munich, Germany, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

In Witness Whereof, the parties have executed this Agreement on the day and year first above written.

Proprietary Information And Inventions Agreement

Micromet, Inc.

EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by Micromet, Inc., its subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, successors and assigns (together, the “Company”) and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I hereby enter into this Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (the “Agreement”) and agree as follows:

1. Nondisclosure.

1.1 Recognition of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure. I understand and acknowledge that my employment by Company creates a relationship of confidence and trust with respect to Company’s Proprietary Information (defined below) and that Company has a protectable interest therein. At all times during my employment and thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of Company’s Proprietary Information, except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with my work for Company, or unless an officer of Company expressly authorizes such in writing. I will obtain Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work at Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information. I hereby assign to Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information will be the sole property of Company and its assigns. I will take all reasonable precautions to prevent the inadvertent or accidental disclosure of Proprietary Information.

1.2 Proprietary Information. The term “Proprietary Information” will mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of Company, its affiliates, parents and subsidiaries, whether having existed, now existing, or to be developed during my employment. By way of illustration but not limitation, “Proprietary Information” includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques and any other proprietary technology and all Proprietary Rights therein (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Inventions”); (b) information regarding research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, margins, discounts, credit terms, pricing and billing policies, quoting procedures, methods of obtaining business, forecasts, future plans and potential strategies, financial projections and business strategies, operational plans, financing and capital-raising plans, activities and agreements, internal services and operational manuals, methods of conducting Company business, suppliers and supplier information, and purchasing; (c) information regarding customers and potential customers of Company, including customer lists, names, representatives, their needs or desires with respect to the types of products or services offered by Company, proposals, bids, contracts and their contents and parties, the type and quantity of products and services provided or sought to be provided to customers and potential customers of Company and other non-public information relating to customers and potential customers; (d) information regarding any of Company’s business partners and their services, including names; representatives, proposals, bids, contracts and their contents and parties, the type and quantity of products and services received by Company, and other non-public information relating to business partners; (e) information regarding personnel, employee lists, compensation, and employee skills; and (f) any other non-public information which a competitor of Company could use to the competitive disadvantage of Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, at all such times, I am free to use information which is generally known in the trade or industry through no breach of this agreement or other act or omission by me.

1.3 Third Party Information. I understand, in addition, that Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data, or information (“Third Party Information”). During my employment and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for Company) or use, except in connection with my work for Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of Company in writing.

1.4 Term of Nondisclosure Restrictions. I understand that Proprietary Information and Third Party Information is never to be used or disclosed by me, as provided in this Section 1. If, however, a court decides that

A-1.

this Section 1 or any of its provisions is unenforceable for lack of reasonable temporal limitation and the Agreement or its restriction(s) cannot otherwise be enforced, I agree and Company agrees that the two (2) year period after the date my employment ends will be the temporal limitation relevant to the contested restriction, provided, however, that this sentence will not apply to trade secrets protected without temporal limitation under applicable law.

1.5 No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During my employment by Company I will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the premises of Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person.

2. Assignment of Inventions.

2.1 Proprietary Rights. The term “Proprietary Rights” will mean all trade secrets, patents, copyrights, trade marks, mask works and other intellectual property rights throughout the world.

2.2 Assignment of Inventions. Subject to Subsections 2.3 and 2.5, I hereby assign and agree to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to Company all my right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment with Company. Inventions assigned to Company, or to a third party as directed by Company pursuant to this Section 2, are hereinafter referred to as “Company Inventions.”

2.3 Unassigned or Nonassignable Inventions. I recognize that this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any Invention that I developed entirely on my own time without using Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secrets, or Proprietary Information, except for those Inventions that either (i) relate to Company’s actual or anticipated business, research or development, or (ii) result from or are connected with work performed by me for Company. In addition, this Agreement does not apply to any Invention which qualifies fully for protection from assignment to Company under any specifically applicable state law, regulation, rule, or public policy (“Specific Inventions Law”).

2.4 Obligation to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment and for six (6) months after termination of my employment with Company, I will promptly disclose to Company fully and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others. In addition, I will promptly disclose to Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of employment. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection under the provisions of a Specific Inventions Law; and I will at that time provide to Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under a Specific Inventions Law. I will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for protection under a Specific Inventions Law.

2.5 Government or Third Party. I also agree to assign all my right, title and interest in and to any particular Company Invention to a third party, including without limitation the United States, as directed by Company.

2.6 Works for Hire. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).

2.7 Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. I will assist Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, United States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including

A-2.

appearances as a witness) as Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to Company or its designee. My obligation to assist Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries will continue beyond the termination of my employment, but Company will compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at Company’s request on such assistance.

In the event Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to Company.

3. Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by Company) of all Proprietary Information developed by me and all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at Company, which records will be available to and remain the sole property of Company at all times.

4. Duty Of Loyalty During Employment. I agree that during the period of my employment by Company I will not, without Company’s express written consent, directly or indirectly engage in any employment or business activity which is directly or indirectly competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, my employment by Company.

5. Reasonableness Of Restrictions.

5.1 I agree that I have read this entire Agreement and understand it. I agree that this Agreement does not prevent me from earning a living or pursuing my career. I agree that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable, proper, and necessitated by Company’s legitimate business interests. I represent and agree that I am entering into this Agreement freely and with knowledge of its contents with the intent to be bound by the Agreement and the restrictions contained in it.

5.2 In the event that a court finds this Agreement, or any of its restrictions, to be ambiguous, unenforceable, or invalid, I and Company agree that the court will read the Agreement as a whole and interpret the restriction(s) at issue to be enforceable and valid to the maximum extent allowed by law.

5.3 If the court declines to enforce this Agreement in the manner provided in subsection 5.2, I and Company agree that this Agreement will be automatically modified to provide Company with the maximum protection of its business interests allowed by law and I agree to be bound by this Agreement as modified.

6. No Conflicting Agreement or Obligation. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.

7. Return of Company Property. When I leave the employ of Company, I will deliver to Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Proprietary Information of Company. I further agree that any property situated on Company’s premises and owned by Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. Prior to leaving, I will cooperate with Company in completing and signing Company’s termination statement if requested to do so by Company.

A-3.

8. Notices. Any notices required or permitted hereunder will be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party will specify in writing. Such notice will be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing.

9. Notification of New Employer. In the event that I leave the employ of Company, I hereby consent to the notification of my new employer of my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

10. General Provisions

10.1 Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of Germany as applicable to contracts made and wholly performed within Germany by residents of Germany. I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Munich, Germany, for any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) related thereto except in such courts. I further hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the courts of Munich, Germany, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.2 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions, subsections, or sentences contained in this Agreement will, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement will for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it will be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it will then appear.

10.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for my benefit and the benefit of Company, its successors, assigns, parent corporations, subsidiaries, affiliates, and purchasers, and will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives.

10.4 Survival. The provisions of this Agreement will survive the termination of my employment, regardless of the reason, and the assignment of this Agreement by Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.

10.5 Employment Status. I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement will change my employment status or confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by Company, nor will it interfere in any way with my right or Company’s right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause or advance notice.

10.6 Waiver. No waiver by Company of any breach of this Agreement will be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by Company of any right under this Agreement will be construed as a waiver of any other right. Company will not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.

10.7 Advice of Counsel. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.

10.8 Entire Agreement. The obligations pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 (except Subsection 2.7) of this Agreement will apply to any time during which I was previously engaged, or am in the future engaged, by Company

A-4.

as a consultant if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during such period. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

I have read this agreement carefully and understand its terms.

Exhibit B

RELEASE AGREEMENT

1. Consideration. I understand that my position with Micromet, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated effective _______, 20__ (the “Separation Date”). Company has agreed that if I choose to sign this Release Agreement (“Release”), Company will pay me certain severance benefits and provide other consideration pursuant to the terms of the Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) between myself and Company, and any agreements incorporated therein by reference. I understand that I am not entitled to such benefits or considerations unless I sign this Release, and that Severance Benefits will be paid commencing on the first regular payday following the Effective Date as defined herein, while COBRA Premiums will be paid commencing upon my execution of this Release.

2. General Release. In exchange for the consideration provided to me under the Agreement that I am not otherwise entitled to receive, I hereby generally and completely release Company and its present and former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, affiliates, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, both known and unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring prior to my signing this Release. This general release includes, but is not limited to: (a) all claims arising out of or in any way related to my employment with Company or the termination of that employment; (b) all claims related to my compensation or benefits from Company, including salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, Severance Benefits, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in Company; (c) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (d) all tort claims, including claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (e) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (“ADEA”), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended), and any corresponding German laws. Notwithstanding the release in the preceding sentence, I am not releasing (a) any right of indemnification I may have in my capacity as an employee, officer and/or director of Company pursuant to any express indemnification agreement, (b) any rights I may have as an owner and/or holder of Company’s common stock and stock options, and (c) any rights I may have as a beneficiary of the D&O insurance obtained by Company as required by the terms of the Agreement. Excluded from this Release are any claims which cannot be waived by law. I am waiving, however, my right to any monetary recovery should any agency, such as the EEOC, pursue any claims on my behalf.

3. ADEA Waiver. I acknowledge that I am knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights I may have under the ADEA (“ADEA Waiver”). I also acknowledge that the consideration given for the ADEA Waiver is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled. I further acknowledge that I have been advised by this writing, as required by

the ADEA, that: (a) my ADEA Waiver does not apply to any rights or claims that arise after the date I sign this Release; (b) I should consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release; (c) I have twenty-one (21) days to consider this Release (although I may choose to voluntarily sign it sooner); (d) I have seven (7) days following the date I sign this Release to revoke the ADEA Waiver; and (e) the ADEA Waiver will not be effective until the date upon which the revocation period has expired unexercised, which will be the eighth day after I sign this Release (“Effective Date”). Nevertheless, my general release of claims, except for the ADEA Waiver, is effective immediately, and not revocable.

4. Section 1542 Waiver. In giving the general release herein, which includes claims which may be unknown to me at present, I acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any other jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to my release of any unknown or unsuspected claims herein.
