SECTION 2. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

2.1 Each Shareholder and each Option Holder shall have the individual right to claim the allocation of new Ordinary Shares up to the total number of Ordinary Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I from the Company (“Option”) by notice to the Company using the form set out in Schedule II (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall also contain the exact percentage of new Ordinary Shares claimed by this Shareholder or this Option Holder in relation to the total number of New Shares set forth opposite his/her name in Schedule I.

2.2 After having received an Exercise Notice, the Management Board shall, without undue delay, subject to its duly and properly executed discretion, offer subscription to the Shareholders and the Option Holders by announcing the content of the Exercise Notice received using the forms set out in Schedules IV (“Subscription Offer”), however, subject to the stipulation set out in SECTION 4, according to which each Shareholder / Option Holder shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items, if applicable.

Each Shareholder and each Option Holder intending to participate in the utilization of the Authorized Capital I (“Capital Increase”) must fill in and sign its subscription declaration in duplicate as provided in sample form by Schedules V (“Subscription Declaration”) together with the Subscription Offer within a period of three weeks from the day of receipt of the Subscription Offer (“Exercise Period”). In case a Shareholder or an Option Holder does not duly deliver such properly filled in and signed Subscription Declaration in duplicate within the Exercise Period, such Shareholder / Option Holder may not participate in such Capital Increase and is deemed to have waived its right to participate in such Capital Increase.

2.3 A Shareholder / an Option Holder shall (i) only subscribe for up to the amount of Ordinary Shares equal to the percentage set out in the Exercise Notice in relation to the number of Ordinary Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I and (ii) only subscribe for up to the amount still available to such

Shareholder / Option Holder due to previous participation(s) in the exercise of Options granted by this Agreement (if any).

In case the Option results in a fraction of Ordinary Shares, the Management Board herewith is authorized, at its sole discretion, to round fractions of Ordinary Shares, i.e. to round 4 and below down, but to round 5 and above up, to the next whole Ordinary Share amount.

2.4 After receipt of an Exercise Notice and before sending a Subscription Offer to each Shareholder / each Option Holder, the Management Board shall, subject to its duly and properly executed discretion, pass, without undue delay (unverzüglich), a resolution to make use of the Authorized Capital I as stated in Sec. 4 para. 8 of the Articles of Association (by using the draft resolution in Schedule III) to issue new Ordinary Shares (“New Shares”) in the amount up to the total number of shares which Shareholders / Option Holders have permissibly subscribed to. The Management Board may also, in its sole discretion, serve the Options by utilization of (i) a contingent capital created for such purpose, if any, or (ii) own Ordinary Shares (eigene Aktien), if any available for such purpose, provided that in any case of (i) and (ii) the relation of the number of Ordinary Shares held by each Shareholder / each Option Holder before the capital measure and Ordinary Shares held by each Shareholder / each Option Holder after the capital measure would not deviate from such relation resulting from a serve of Options by means of Authorized Capital I only. The Ordinary Shares resulting from the realization of Options (New Shares or shares resulting from a contingent capital or own Ordinary Shares are also referred to as “New Ordinary Shares”).

Example:

Shareholders’ / Option Holders’ Options: 000 Xxx Xxxxxxxx Shares (Shareholder A), 000 Xxx Xxxxxxxx Shares (Shareholder B), 80 New Ordinary Shares (Shareholder C), 40 New Ordinary Shares (UCB), 40 New Ordinary Shares (Sudbrook).

In the first step B sends an Exercise Notice and opts for 76 New Ordinary Shares. This meets with 54 % of his Option. This percentage has to be entered in the Exercise Note.

In the second step the Management Board shall, subject to its duly and properly executed discretion, (i) initiate a Capital Increase or (ii) install any other measure in order to bring the Company into the position to fulfill the exercises of Options (e.g. acquisition of own shares, if permitted).

In the third step the Management Board has to offer 54 % of the number of New Ordinary Shares set out in Schedule I for each Shareholder / each Option Holder: 000 Xxx Xxxxxxxx Shares for subscription by A, 76 New Ordinary Shares for subscription by B, 43 New Ordinary Shares for subscription by C, 22 New Ordinary Shares for subscription by UCB and 22 New Ordinary Shares for subscription by Sudbrook.

In the forth step B subscribes for all the 76 offered New Ordinary Shares. A fails to deliver its duly signed Subscription Declarations in duplicate within the Exercise Period. C subscribes for 23 New Ordinary Shares. UCB subscribes for all the 22 offered New Ordinary Shares and Sudbrook subscribes for 11 of the offered New Ordinary Shares.

As a result, Shareholder B’s Option remains to the extent of 64 New Ordinary Shares, Shareholder A’s option to 000 Xxx Xxxxxxxx shares, Shareholder C’s option to 57 New Ordinary Shares, UCB’s option to 18 New Ordinary Shares and Sudbrook’s option to 29 New Ordinary Shares.

2.5 Further, the Management Board, the Shareholders / the Option Holders, as the case may be, shall fulfill, without undue delay, further necessary requirements stipulated by law, e.g. duly increase the

share capital of the Company on the basis of exercising the Authorized Capital I, e.g. resolution on the utilization of the Authorized Capital I (Beschluss zur Ausnutzung des Genehmigten Kapitals I) if making use of it, or exercising contingent capital, and application for registration with the commercial register (Registeranmeldung). The Management Board shall, subject to its duly and properly executed discretion, issue New Ordinary Shares only at the Purchase Price to each Shareholder / each Option Holder.

2.6 If a Shareholder / an Option Holder should not claim one hundred (100) percent of the number of New Ordinary Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I from the Company within an Exercise Notice or a Subscription Declaration, the remaining amount of New Ordinary Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I shall be deemed one hundred percent of New Ordinary Shares available for this Shareholder / this Option Holder for a Exercise Notice and/or a (next) Subscription Declaration.

If the Management Board receives several Exercise Notices on the same Business Day it shall add the amounts of New Ordinary Shares claimed in each Exercise Notice and follow the procedure mentioned in the paragraphs above with regard to this total amount in one and not in several steps. In case the Management Board receives several Exercise Notices not on the same Business Day but during the procedure of an Issuance of New Ordinary Shares due to (an) Exercise Notice(s), the Management Board shall, subject to its duly and properly executed discretion, use its best efforts to ensure that the required capital increase(s) will be executed in due time and in a reasonable and cost saving way.

SECTION 3. EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS.

The subscription rights of Shareholders / Option Holders which have not been exercised within the Expiration Period or the Extended Expiration Period, as the case may be, shall expire upon the Expiration Date or upon the Extended Expiration Date, as the case may be. In no event may this Option be exercised at any time after the Expiration Date or the Extended Expiration Date, as the case may be.

SECTION 4. PURCHASE PRICE, EXERCISE PAYMENT, TAX WITHHOLDING.

The subscription price / purchase price per New Ordinary Share amounts to EUR 100.00, comprising capital contribution payments and agio payments (if any), and may from time to time be adjusted according to SECTION 5, whereas in no event the subscription price / purchase price shall be lower than EUR 1.00 per New Ordinary Share (“Purchase Price”).

The exercise price to be paid in total by each Shareholder / each Option Holder (each payment individually the “Exercise Payment”) shall be equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of New Ordinary Shares being purchased pursuant to the Subscription Declaration by such Shareholder / such Option Holder and be payable only by contribution in cash.

With respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to a Shareholder’s / Option Holder’s receipt of New Ordinary Shares hereunder and legally applicable to the Shareholder / Option Holder (“Tax-Related Items”), the Shareholder / Option Holder acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains with the Shareholder’s / Option Holder’s responsibility.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Shareholder / Option Holder shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

In this regard, the Shareholder / Option Holder hereby authorizes the Company, or their respective agents, at the Company’s discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items as far as applicable by one or a combination of the following:

(1) withholding from the Shareholder’s / Option Holder’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Shareholder / Option Holder by the Company;

(2) withholding from proceeds of a sale of New Ordinary Shares acquired upon settlement of this Agreement (such sale being implemented by the Company on the Shareholder’s / Option Holder’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company; or

(3) withholding the relevant number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Agreement in order to issue such New Ordinary Shares to any other Shareholder / Option Holder or third party and to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by the respective proceeds therefrom.

SECTION 5. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS, OTHER ADJUSTMENTS.

5.1 The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this SECTION 5. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this SECTION 5, each Shareholder / each Option Holder shall, subject to the duly and properly executed discretion of the Management Board, thereafter for 10 Business Days be entitled to acquire upon exercise, at the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of New Ordinary Shares by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the maximum number of shares acquirable immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, subject to such further New Ordinary Shares being available.

5.2 If and whenever on or after registration of the Authorized Capital I with the commercial register and upon signing of this Agreement (the “Initial Issuance Date”), the Company shall issue or sell, or shall in accordance with paragraphs 5.2(1) to (5), inclusive, be deemed to have issued or sold any shares of its Ordinary Shares without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then forthwith upon such issue or sale (the “Triggering Transaction”), the Purchase Price shall, subject to paragraphs (1) to (5) of this SECTION 5.2, be reduced to the purchase price (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) equal to the price per share at which such shares are issued or sold or deemed issued or sold.

For purposes of determining the adjusted Purchase Price under this SECTION 5.2, the following paragraphs (1) to (5), inclusive, shall be applicable:

(1) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, new Ordinary Shares or any other shares (such rights or options being herein called “Option Rights”), whether or not such Option Rights are immediately exercisable and the price per share for which the Ordinary Shares are issuable upon exercise (determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Option Rights, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Option Rights, by (y) the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Option Rights) shall be less than the purchase price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Option Rights, the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Option Rights,

shall (as of the date of granting of such Option Rights) be deemed to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of such Option Rights.

(2) In case any Option Rights shall be issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option Rights by the Parties, such Option Rights shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.

(3) In case any Ordinary Shares or Option Rights shall be issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefore shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefore. In case any Ordinary Shares or Option Rights shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash (Sacheinlage), the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Management Board based upon a valuation report, if legally required. In case any Ordinary Shares or Option Rights shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefore shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as shall be attributable to such Ordinary Shares or Option Rights, as the case may be.

(4) The disposition of any Ordinary Share owned or held by or for the account of the Company shall be considered an issue or sale of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of this SECTION 5.2.

(5) In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon the shares of the Company payable in Option Rights, then in such case any Option Rights issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.

5.3 In case the Company shall at any time (i) subdivide the existing Ordinary Shares or (ii) issue a share dividend on its existing Ordinary Shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or dividend shall be proportionately reduced by the same ratio as the subdivision or dividend. In case the Company shall at any time combine its outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased by the same ratio as the combination.

5.4 The provisions of this SECTION 5 shall not apply to any Ordinary Share issued, issuable or deemed issued under paragraphs 5.2(1) to (5) inclusive: (i) to any Person pursuant to any share option, share purchase or similar plan or arrangement for the benefit of employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, in effect on the Initial Issuance Date or thereafter adopted by the Company, (ii) pursuant to options already in existence on the Initial Issuance Date, (iii) securities issued as consideration for any acquisition by the Company or its subsidiaries, or (v) securities issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction which is approved by the Management Board.

5.5

(i) In the event that:

(1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Ordinary Shares, or

(2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Ordinary Share payable in shares or make any special dividend or other distribution to the shareholders of its Ordinary Share, or

(3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the shareholder of its Ordinary Share any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights, or

(4) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the equity of the Company, including any subdivision or combination of its outstanding Ordinary Shares, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, or

(5) there shall be a voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, in connection with such event, the Company shall give to the Shareholders / to the Option Holders, unless mandatory management duties, in particular, resulting from deviating shareholders’ resolutions and / or equality principle requirements (Gleichbehandlungsgrundsatz) in favour of all shareholders of the Company, by German corporate law or by German capital market law provide otherwise:

(ii) at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; and

(iii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the shareholders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (1) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Share for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.
