(v) | to amend the Conditional Capital 2007-I (Bedingtes Kapital 2007-I) to the effect that henceforth it provides for the issuance of Series D Preferred Shares rather than Series C Preferred Shares; and |
(vi) | to amend the Articles of Association of the Company as set forth in Annex 2.1 (vi) to this Agreement. |
(2) | Each of the Shareholders undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other Shareholder, to do or cause to be done everything necessary or appropriate to implement the measures agreed in § 2 (1) above. |
Thus, each of the Shareholders undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other Shareholder, in particular without limitation to participate in the Shareholders’ Meeting as set forth in § 2 (1) above, to exercise his voting rights and other rights in such Shareholders’ Meeting and in the special resolutions or special meetings of the holders of the different classes of Shares in favour of the measures agreed in § 2 (1) above, to expressly approve the conversion of all existing Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares held by him into Series D Preferred Shares as set forth in § 2 (1) (ii) above, and to waive the subscription rights to which he is entitled for the subscription to new shares to the extent described.
Further, each of the Shareholders undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other Shareholder, to omit any and all actions which could prevent or make the implementation of the measures agreed in § 2 (1) above more difficult as well as to waive any and all rights to raise objections to, and to challenge, the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above.
(3) | Each of the Lenders and each of the Series D Investors undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other and each of the other Shareholders, to subscribe and to take over the new Series D Preferred Shares under § 2 (1) (i) above to the stated extent immediately after the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above, and to pay in full and in cash (without any deductions for bank fees) the total issue price of |
9
EUR 1.00 per new Series D Preferred Share subscribed by him within five (5) Business Days after such subscription to the Company’s special account for the increase of the share capital (Kapitalerhöhungssonderkonto) with Deutsche Bank AG, account no.: XXXXXXX XX, bank sorting code: XXXXXXXX, IBAN: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX, BIC/SWIFT: XXXXXXXXXXX, ref.: “issue price capital increase September 2012”. Payments shall be made exclusively to this special account, which will be opened solely for this purpose and must not be used for other transactions or payments prior to the aforementioned payments. This special account must not have a debit balance immediately prior to the aforementioned payments being effected, so that the Company’s Management Board can freely dispose of the amounts paid (cf. §§ 188, 36, 36 a, 37 German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)). |
The subscriptions shall only become non-binding, if the consummation of the increase of the share capital under § 2 (1) (i) above has not been registered with the Commercial Register within six months after the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above, in which case each Lender and each Series D Investor shall have the (additional) right to request from all Shareholders to resolve again the increase of the share capital under § 2 (1) (i) above with respect to his individual share of the increase of the share capital as set forth in the table in § 2 (1) (i) above and to renew the subscription for the corresponding new Series D Preferred Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
(4) | After the subscription and taking over of the new Series D Preferred Shares under § 2 (1) (i) above and the receipt of the total issue price for the new Series D Preferred Shares from all of the Lenders and Series D Investors, the Company shall as soon as practicable apply for registration of the resolutions to increase the share capital, to convert all existing Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares into Series D Preferred Shares, to terminate the Authorized Capital 2010, to create a new Authorized Capital 2012, to amend the Conditional Capital 2007-I and to amend the Articles of Association of the Company and of the consummation of the increase of the share capital with the Commercial Register and shall take all other measures and make all other declarations necessary or appropriate for the measures described in § 2 (1) above to become effective. |
10
Should the Commercial Register make valid objections to the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above, the Shareholders undertake vis-à-vis each other, to remove such objections as soon as practicable by way of adopting the necessary resolutions in the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company and in the special resolutions of the holders of the different classes of Shares so that the purpose and intention of the resolutions objected to can be achieved to the maximum permissible extent.
(5) | The Shareholders undertake vis-à-vis each other, as from the conclusion of this Agreement and up until the consummation of the increase of the share capital, the conversion of all existing Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares into Series D Preferred Shares and the amendments to the Articles of Association under § 2 (1) above have been registered with the Commercial Register, to treat each other, to the extent legally permissible, as if the amendments to the Articles of Association had already come into force upon the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above, the conversion of all existing Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares into Series D Preferred Shares had already come into force upon the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above, and each of the Lenders and Series D Investors had already acquired the new Series D Preferred Shares to be issued under § 2 (1) (i) above upon subscription and payment of the total issue price of EUR 1.00 per new Series D Preferred Share, respectively. Thus, each of the Shareholders undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each of the Lenders and Series D Investors, as from the subscription of the new Series D Preferred Shares under § 2 (1) (i) above and payment of the total issue price of EUR 1.00 per new Series D Preferred Share, respectively, in particular without limitation to put each of the Lenders and Series D Investors internally in such position as they each would be in, if they had acquired the financial rights (Vermögensrechte) and, to the extent legally permissible, the administrative rights (Verwaltungsrechte) under this Agreement, the Shareholders’ Agreement, as |
11
amended by this Agreement, and the Articles of Association of the Company resulting from the new Series D Preferred Shares to be issued under § 2 (1) (i) above already upon subscription and payment of the total issue price of EUR 1.00 per new Series D Preferred Share, respectively. |
§ 3
Milestone
(1) | The Shareholders agree on the following milestone which shall be considered to have been achieved or not in accordance with § 3 (2) and (3) below: |
Fulfilment of all of the following conditions by 30 June 2013 at the latest:
(a) Results of the non-GLP in vitro cytokine release data, testing the safety relevant settings; and
(b) Results of a Scientific Advise meeting with one national authority
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Milestone”).
The Lead Investors’ Majority (as defined below) may at any time in its free discretion determine with binding effect for all Series D Investors and Shareholders a later date for the fulfilment of the conditions for the Milestone than the date set forth above. Likewise, the Lead Investors’ Majority may at any time in its free discretion determine with binding effect for all Series D Investors and Shareholders to waive the fulfilment of particular conditions for the achievement of the Milestone set forth above.
(2) | If the Management Board is of the opinion that the Milestone has been achieved, it shall notify all Shareholders thereof in a written report and produce adequate evidence (hereinafter referred to as the “Milestone Notice”). If the Management Board has not sent the Milestone Notice within four calendar weeks after the final date for the |
12
fulfilment of the Milestone under § 3 (1) above at the latest, then the Milestone shall be considered to have not been achieved, whereby the relevant time shall be the sending of the Milestone Notice by the Management Board. |
(3) | The Milestone shall be considered to have been achieved, unless a Series D Investor or Series D Investors individually or collectively holding more than 25 % of all Series D Preferred Shares within two calendar weeks after receipt of the Milestone Notice has/have objected to the Milestone Notice in writing, by telefax or e-mail to the Management Board, whereby the relevant time shall be the receipt of the objection(s) by the Management Board. If the Milestone shall be considered to have been achieved in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Management Board shall inform all Shareholders thereof in writing, by telefax or e-mail. |
If, however, a Series D Investor or Series D Investors has/have objected to the Milestone Notice in accordance with the first sentence of this § 3 (3) and the Management Board and this Series D Investor or these Series D Investors cannot reach an agreement on the fulfilment of the Milestone within one calendar week after receipt of the objection(s) by the Management Board, then the Management Board shall inform all Shareholders thereof without undue delay in writing, by telefax or e-mail. In this case, the question as to whether the Milestone shall be considered to have been achieved or not shall be finally determined with binding effect on all Parties by the Lead Investors’ Majority as arbitration expert (Schiedsgutachter). The determination of the Lead Investors’ Majority as to whether the Milestone has been achieved shall be based on an opinion of an independent expert appointed by the Lead Investors’ Majority or, if the Lead Investors’ Majority does not so appoint an independent expert within one calendar week after the demand of any Series D Investor to do so, by the Industrie- und Handelskammer Xxxxx-Xxxxxx. The Series D Investors shall endeavour to obtain the opinion of the independent expert within two calendar weeks after his appointment. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board shall be consulted with respect to the question as to whether the Milestone has been achieved or not within the same time limit. The Lead Investors’ Majority shall determine in accordance with the foregoing provisions whether the Milestone shall be considered to have been achieved within one calendar week after the receipt of the opinion of the independent expert.
13
If the Lead Investors’ Majority approves the determination of the achievement of the Milestone, then the Milestone shall be considered to have been achieved; if the Lead Investors’ Majority declines the determination of the achievement of the Milestone, then the Milestone shall be considered to have not been achieved.
The costs of the independent expert and the Industrie- und Handelskammer Xxxxx-Xxxxxx, if any, shall be borne by the Company and the objecting Series D Investor(s) applying §§ 91 et seq. German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO) mutatis mutandis.
(4) | The obligations of the Series D Investors to subscribe and to take over new Series D Preferred Shares under § 4 below and the obligations of the Series D Investors to render additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company under § 5 (2) below shall by way of a condition precedent (aufschiebende Bedingung) exist only after the Milestone shall be considered to have been achieved pursuant to § 3 (3) above; provided, however, that the Lead Investors’ Majority may at any time in its free discretion determine with binding effect for all Series D Investors and Shareholders to waive the achievement of the Milestone, in which case the obligations of the Series D Investors to subscribe and to take over new Series D Preferred Shares under § 4 below and the obligations of the Series D Investors to render additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company under § 5 (2) below shall exist irrespective of whether the Milestone shall be considered to have been achieved or not. |
(5) | Each of the Series D Investors may at any time in its free discretion in writing, by telefax or e-mail to all Shareholders and the Company waive with respect to his own obligations (and only with respect to his own obligations) to subscribe and to take over new Series D Preferred Shares under § 4 below and to render additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company under § 5 (2) below the achievement of the Milestone. |

21
conditions determined pursuant to § 8 (1) above. § 2 (2) and (4) above shall apply mutatis mutandis. Each of the Shareholders expressly accepts the dilution of his participation in the Company which the New ESOP entails. |

If the motion in question is approved with a Lead Investors’ Majority, all Shareholders (including all holders of Series D Preferred Shares) shall be obliged to vote in favour of such motion in the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company and in the special resolutions or special meetings of the holders of the different classes of Shares, if applicable. If the motion in question is not approved with a Lead Investors’ Majority, all Shareholders (including all holders of Series D Preferred Shares) shall be obliged to vote against such motion in the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company and in the special resolutions or special meetings of the holders of the different classes of Shares, if applicable.”

§ 16
Anti-dilution Protection
(1) | If at any time prior to the conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares into Common Shares, but after the increases of the Company’s share capital under § 2 (1) (i) and § 4 (1) above, the Company issues any new Shares or an equivalent thereof at a price per Share that is less than EUR 30.8861 (the “Offering”), each holder of Series D Preferred Shares, acting individually, provided that he has fulfilled his investment obligations under §§ 1 to 5 above, is irrevocably entitled to a broad-based weighted-average anti-dilution protection by being issued and subscribing to that number of new Series D Preferred Shares at par value without premium, so calculated as if such Shareholder has subscribed his respective Series D Preferred Shares resulting from the increases of the Company’s share capital under § 2 (1) (i) and § 4 (1) above according to the following formula: |
Revised Subscription Price = (Outstanding Shares before the Offering x EUR 30.8861 + total amount raised in the Offering) / Outstanding Shares after the Offering
The difference between EUR 30.8861 and the Revised Subscription Price shall be multiplied by the total number of Series D Preferred Shares resulting from the increases of the Company’s share capital under § 2 (1) (i) and § 4 (1) above held by such Shareholder and divided by the result of the Revised Subscription Price minus EUR 1.00. The result of this calculation yields the total number of Series D Preferred Shares to which such holder of Series D Preferred Shares may subscribe at par value.
The holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall receive these Shares in conjunction with the capital increase which led to the diluting issuing of Shares. In the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization and the like, the anti-dilution protection shall be adjusted accordingly.
26
(2) | Section G 3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect. |

Dividends
(1) | Section H 1 of the Shareholders’ Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect. |
(2) | The Shareholders are in agreement that in case of a stock exchange listing of the (shares of the) Company (the “Stock Exchange Listing”), the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall receive 6 % p.a. IRR on the respective paid in total investment by way of subscription of new Common Shares as follows: In the course of the preparation of the Stock Exchange Listing, the Shareholders shall resolve in favour of an increase of the Company’s share capital (the “IRR Capital Increase”) upon the demand of one or more of the Series D Investors. Each of the Series D Investors individually may request his participation in the IRR Capital Increase without being obliged to do so. As part of the IRR Capital Increase, the Series D Investors, who request this, shall be invited, to the exclusion of the statutory subscription rights of the Shareholders, to subscribe to such number of new Common Shares in return for cash contributions at an issue price equal to the portion of the Company’s share capital |
27
attributable to one share without premium or any other contributions to the capital reserves of the Company which is equal to the Return (as defined below) divided by the result of (Listing Price (as defined below) minus EUR 1.00), whereby “Return” shall in each case be equal to the amount representing 6 % p.a. IRR on the respective paid in total investment (total issue price plus additional payments and contributions to the capital reserves of the Company pursuant to § 272 (2) HGB including, for the avoidance of doubt, the nominal amount of the principal of the Loans assigned to the Company and any and all interest accrued thereon) on the respective Series D Preferred Shares (including on Shares which were converted into or are deemed to be Series D Preferred Shares) calculated as from and starting with the respective payment thereof to the Company, compounded quarterly in arrears, provided that with respect to the paid in total investment on the former Series A Preferred Shares such IRR shall be calculated only as from and starting with 27 March 2007, and “Listing Price” shall be the anticipated issue price or, if the Stock Exchange Listing does not include an offering, the anticipated first quotation of the price of the Shares of the Company in the course of the Stock Exchange Listing as determined in good faith by the Lead Investors’ Majority with binding effect on all Shareholders. § 2 (2) to (5) above shall apply mutatis mutandis. If the Stock Exchange Listing has not occurred within 120 days after the date of the IRR Capital Increase, then all Shareholders are obliged to co-operate in restoring the position as it was prior to the IRR Capital Increase. |
§ 19
Liquidation Preference
Section H 2 of the Shareholders’ Agreement shall be amended and replaced by the following provisions:
“In the event of any of the following (each a “Liquidation Event” or “Deemed Liquidation Event”):
a) | a bankruptcy, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; |
28
b) | a (partial) sale (at least 50 %) of the Shares of the Company including the sale triggering a co-sale right as defined in section F 3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, as amended by § 14 of the 1st Amendment, a drag-along as defined in section F 4 of the Shareholders’ Agreement; |
c) | a sale of at least 75 % of all assets (including intellectual property rights) in terms of the Fair Market Value of the Company; |
d) | a merger, consolidation or acquisition, or any other event involving the Company, pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company will have less than 50.1 % of the voting power of the acquiring company or pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving entity; |
e) | a reverse take-over; |
the proceeds will be allocated among the Shareholders as follows:
(i) | First, each of the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to all other Shares, an amount equal to 1.33 times (subject to proportional adjustments for stock splits, subdivisions and the like) the paid in total investment (total issue price plus additional payments and contributions to the capital reserves of the Company pursuant to § 272 (2) HGB including, for the avoidance of doubt, the nominal amount of the principal of the Loans assigned to the Company and any and all interest accrued thereon) on his Series D Preferred Shares (including on Shares which were converted into or are deemed to be Series D Preferred Shares), in each case plus an amount representing 6 % p.a. IRR on the respective paid in total investment calculated as from and starting with the respective payment thereof to the Company, compounded quarterly in arrears, provided that with respect to the paid in total investment on the former Series A Preferred Shares such IRR shall be calculated only as from and starting with 27 March 2007; and |
29
(ii) | thereafter, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall receive any remaining funds on a pari passu basis with the holders of Common Shares on an as-if-converted basis. |
The total investment amount for former Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares issued to former silent partners (in the meaning of § 230 HGB) to be considered as a basis for the above liquidation preference and IRR shall be limited to EUR 500,000.00 each.
In the event the return of capital to tbg out of the converted share position (Part D.4 of the Series B Investment Agreement) shall be less than EUR 1,750,000.00 for tbg, tbg will receive a minimum return. The minimum return is defined as the return tbg would receive if tbg would have invested the amount of EUR 1,750,000.00 in Series B Preferred Shares up to a maximum return of EUR 1,750,000.00. The risk of fulfilling this downside protection shall be borne by the Series B investors on a pro rata basis and covers the difference between the calculated actual returns for tbg based upon its converted share position (Part D.4 of the Series B Investment Agreement) and the minimum return. Annex 7 to the Shareholders’ Agreement contains an exemplary calculation.
If there are insufficient assets or proceeds to pay the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares in full, the amount available will be paid on a pro rata basis between the holders of Series D Preferred Shares in proportion to the maximum amounts the holders of Series D Preferred Shares would be entitled to if the assets or proceeds were sufficient to pay the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares in full.
The holders of Series D Preferred Shares are entitled to the same preference with respect to sale proceeds in case of a sale of Shares in the course of a single or a partial sales transaction or a series of related transactions (in particular as a result of the exercise of co-sale rights, drag along rights and rights of first refusal as described in the Shareholders’ Agreement, as amended by the 1st Amendment) or in case of a transformation of the Company except for conversions of the Company’s legal form of organization.”
