(a) The Current Shareholders shall adopt by way of notarized
shareholders' resolution, and the Company shall file with the Commercial
Register of the Lower Court ("Amtsgericht") of Berlin Charlottenburg on or
before the Closing (as defined below):
(i) an increase of the share capital of the Company by way
of the issuance of a new share with a par value of (euro) 13,800 against
contribution of the par value of (euro) 13,800 in cash plus an additional agio
("Aufgeld") of (euro) 536,426 also in cash, resulting in a total aggregate cash
contribution of (euro) 550,226 (the "Contribution"), along with the admission of
the Purchaser as sole subscriber of such share, all in the form of Exhibit A
(the "Capital Increase"); and
(ii) the Amended and Restated Articles in the form of
Exhibit B attached to this Agreement (the "Restated Articles").
The Current Shareholders shall waive their right to
participate in this capital increase.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Purchaser agrees to subscribe at the Closing and the Company agrees to issue to
the Purchaser a partial share with a par value of (euro) 11,800 of the new share
with a par value of (euro) 13,800 of the Common Stock ("Stammkapital") of the
Company pursuant to subsection (a) subparagraph (i) above, against payment of
the cash contribution as stipulated in subsection (a) subparagraph (i) above.
The share of Common Stock issued at the Closing is sometimes referred to in this
Agreement as the "Share".
(c) In accordance with the terms of the M&R Stock Purchase
Agreement, the Purchaser shall acquire a partial share with a par value of
(euro) 2,000 of the new share with a par value of (euro) 13,800 of the Common
Stock as a result of the Purchaser's acquisition of certain subscription rights

Agreement and the exercise of the option contained therein.
(d) The parties acknowledge that the agio stipulated above
includes a deduction in the amount of (euro) 50,000 in consideration of the
advance payment made by the Purchaser to the Company pursuant to the Memorandum
of Terms dated [ ]. Before such deduction, the total contribution (share capital
contribution plus agio) would have amounted to (euro) 598,226, resulting in a
purchase price of (euro) 50.70 (rounded) for each Euro of Common Stock (without
taking into account the (euro) 2,000 partial share acquired at par value on the
