|6. | OPTION PROVISIONS.
|-- | ------------------

Each Option shall be evidenced by a written instrument in such form as the Vorstand shall determine and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Vorstand in co-ordination with the Aufsichtsrat shall deem appropriate. The provisions of
separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:



| | (a) | Term. The Options may be offered to the Optionees during the last fifteen working days of each calendar month (acquisition period pursuant to Section 193 Para. 2
No. 4 AktG).
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms as the Vorstand may specify in the
applicable Stock Option Grant, provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted.



| | (b) | Price. The Vorstand shall establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted and shall specify it in the applicable Stock Option Grant.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Consideration. According to applicable German Law, the exercise price of stock acquired pursuant to an Option can only be paid to the Company, at the latest, when the Option
is exercised either (i) in cash (EURO), or (ii) by money transfer onto an account of the Company with a (German or international) bank residing in Germany. Any other means of payment or payment in kind is prohibited according to
Section 199 para. 1, 54 para. 3, 36 para. 2 AktG.

| | (d) | Transferability. An Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the person to

the event of the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | Vesting. The total number of shares of stock subject to an Option may, but need not, be allotted in periodic installments (which may, but need not, be

- 5 -



---

| | installment periods, the Option, notwithstanding Section 6(i), may become exercisable (vest) with respect to some or all of the shares
allotted to that period, and may be exercised with respect to some or all of the shares allotted to such period and/or any prior period as to which the Option became vested but was not fully exercised. The Option may be subject to such other terms
and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria according to the then applicable resolution of the Companys stockholders) as the Vorstand in co-ordination with the Aufsichtsrat
may deem appropriate.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (f) | Termination of Employment. In the event an Optionees Continuous Status as an Employee terminates (other than upon the Optionees death or disability, as defined
below), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it according to Sections 6(e) and 6(i) at the date of termination but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the
date three (3) months after the termination of the Optionees Continuous Status as an Employee (or such longer or shorter period as specified in the Stock Option Agreement) or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth
in the Stock Option Agreement. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, should the date of termination be prior to that of the expiration of the two-year waiting period mentioned in Section 6(i), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option at
the date of expiration of such waiting period but only within three (3) months after the expiration of the two-year waiting period. If the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time required, the Option shall terminate, and

meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it according to Sections 6(e) and 6(i) at the date of termination, but only within such period of
time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period as specified in the Stock Option Agreement ) or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the
Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, should the date of termination be prior to that of the expiration of the two-year waiting period mentioned in Section 6(i), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option at the date of expiration of such
waiting period but only within three (3) months after the expiration of the two-year waiting period. If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (h) | Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee during, or within a period specified in the Option after the termination of, the Optionees Continuous Status

two-year waiting period. If, at the time of death, the Optionee was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the
Plan. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.
