The Parties have   agreed to make the following amendments to the Agreement:
    

 

 

	
Side 3
    	
2.1.1
    	
The existing Clause 2.1 of the Agreement is hereby replaced by the   following:
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
“The Vendor Loan   together with accrued interest shall be repaid in semi-annual instalments as   set out in Schedule 2.1 with the first repayment instalment falling due on 2   October 2012 and the final repayment instalment falling due on the first   Business Day following 2 April 2015 (the “Final Repayment Date”). The   Borrower is entitled at any time prior to the Final Repayment Date to repay   the outstanding Vendor Loan in full or in part, it being understood that any   such early repayment shall include payment of accrued interest in an equal   proportion to the early repayment amount.”
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
2.1.2
    	
Clause 2 of the   Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Clause 2.2:
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
“The Borrower   shall by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Lender’s bank   account with Danske Bank, account number 4955-6170002367 on (i) on 29   June 2012 transfer DKK 6,500,000; and (ii) on 31 July 2012   transfer DKK 6,500,000.”
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
2.1.3
    	
Clause 4 of the   Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Clause 4.2:
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
“Upon receipt of   the payment made under Clause 2.3 on or prior to 29 June 2012, the   Lender shall automatically, and without the need for further action, release   35% of the shares (equal to nominally DKK 7,000,000 shares) in the Company   from the pledge made in favour of the Lender under the Security Documents.   For the avoidance of doubt such release shall in no event be considered or   interpreted as a release of the pledge in full but solely a partial release   of the said shares. The Parties agree that, contingent of receipt by Lender   of the payment made under Clause 2.3 on or prior to 29 June 2012, the   Security Documents shall be amended to reflect the release from pledge of   nominally DKK 7,000,000 shares in the Company but such release will be   automatically effective upon such receipt by Lender regardless of when the   Security Agreements are so amended.”
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
2.1.4

2.1.6
    	
Clause 7 of the   Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Clause 7.1.6:

The Borrower   (the Guarantor, if relevant) does not make the planned early repayment as set   out in Clause 2.2(ii) (as amended by clause 2.1.2 of this Amendment)   provided that if non-payment is caused only by administrative or technical   error, such event of non-

“Negative pledge   of the shares in the Company
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Acquisition Co.   creates or permits to be created or permit to exist or have not discharged   Encumbrance upon any of the shares in the Company to or in favour of any   other person than the Lender”
