If your employment or service relationship with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries is terminated as a result of your Normal Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Period, no portion of the Award will become a Vested Award.  
[The following paragraph is subject to revision at the discretion of the Committee in the event of a serving vesting schedule other than three years: Solely for purposes of determining the number of shares of PSUs or the percentage of the Cash Award, as applicable, which may lapse or vest pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Earned Award shall be referred to in two portions, two-thirds (2/3) of the Earned Award shall be the “Two-Year Portion”; the remaining and final one-third (1/3) of the Earned Award shall be the “Three-Year Portion.”  Following a termination of your employment or service due to your Normal Retirement following the end of the Performance Period: 
(i)restrictions will lapse on a number of Earned PSUs in the Two-Year Portion equal to the product of (A) two-thirds (2/3) of the Earned PSUs, times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months (counting the month in which your termination of employment occurs as a full month), beginning with the first day of the first  month of the year in which the Date of Grant occurs, during which you were employed by the Company and/or any Subsidiary (not to exceed 24) and the denominator of which is 24 (the “Two-Year Fraction”); plus
(ii)restrictions will lapse on the amount of Earned Cash Award in the Two-Year Portion equal to the product of (A) two-thirds (2/3) of the Earned Cash Award, times (B) the Two-Year Fraction; plus
(iii)restrictions will lapse on a number of Earned PSUs in the Three-Year Portion equal to the product of (A) one-third (1/3) of the Earned PSUs, times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months (counting the month in which your termination of employment occurs as a full month), beginning with the first day of the first  month of the year in which the Date of Grant occurs, during which you were employed by the Company and/or any Subsidiary and the denominator of which is 36 (the “Three-Year Fraction”); plus

Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(a) or Section 4(b), if the Participant has not satisfied the Service Requirement, then upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason, any unearned Award (and all rights arising from such Award and from being a holder thereof) will terminate automatically without any further action by the Company and will be forfeited without further notice and at no cost to the Company.
(d)Change in Control. 

Exhibit 10.6

(i)Prior to the end of the Performance Period.  Notwithstanding anything in the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, subject to Section 12, upon the consummation of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, all restrictions shall lapse with respect to the Target Award, and the Target Award shall be deemed a Vested Award. 
(ii)Following the Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything in the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, subject to Section 12, upon the consummation of a Change in Control following the Performance Period, all restrictions shall lapse with respect to the Earned Award, and the Earned Award shall be deemed a Vested Award. 
(iii)Other restrictions. Nothing within this Section 4(d) is intended to modify Sections 4(a) or 4(b) above regarding the full acceleration or pro-rata acceleration, as applicable, of your Award upon a termination of employment due to death, Disability or Normal Retirement.  The provisions of Sections 4(a) and 4(b) shall apply to a termination of your employment or service for death, Disability or Normal Retirement, as applicable, whether or not such a termination of employment or service were to occur in connection with a Change in Control. 
5.Dividend Equivalents.  In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding shares of Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, the Participant holds PSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall record the amount of such dividend in a bookkeeping account and pay to the Participant an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends the Participant would have received if the Participant was the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of PSUs held by the Participant that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment to be made on the date on which any Vested PSUs are settled in accordance with Section 6.  For purposes of clarity, if the PSUs (or any portion thereof) are forfeited by the Participant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Participant shall also forfeit the Dividend Equivalents, if any, accrued with respect to such forfeited PSUs.  No interest will accrue on the Dividend Equivalents between the declaration and payment of the applicable dividends and the settlement of the Dividend Equivalents. 
6.Settlement of Award.  If the Participant is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the vested PSUs will be settled in the form of shares of Stock; provided, however, that the Committee shall retain the authority to modify the settlement form of the vested PSUs at any time prior to the applicable vesting date.  If the Participant is not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine at the time of settlement whether the Vested PSUs will be settled: (i) in a single lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of Stock as of the date of settlement multiplied by the number of Vested PSUs to be settled, (ii) in shares of such Stock, or (iii) in a combination of cash and shares of Stock. The Committee shall also determine whether the Vested Cash Award will be settled: (i) in a single lump sum cash payment, (ii) in shares of Stock equal to the Vested Cash Award divided by the Fair Market Value of Stock as of the date of settlement, or (iii) in a combination of cash and shares of Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary within this Agreement or the Plan, the Committee retains the sole discretion to modify the form or amount of settlement of this Award at any time in order to maintain compliance with internal policies regarding the dilution of Stock, [insert the following clause if the Award is subject to a Committee policy limiting the number of 

Exhibit 10.6

shares of Stock for settlement in any award year: including the Committee’s policy in effect on the Date of Grant that no more than [insert annual aggregate limit of shares]  shares of Stock shall be used for settlement of all equity-based compensation awards granted during the [insert award year] calendar year]. The applicable settlement shall occur as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which all vesting restrictions lapse.  In the event that any fractional PSU becomes earned hereunder, that PSU shall be rounded down at the time of settlement of such PSU. No fractional shares of Stock, nor the cash value of any fractional shares of Stock, shall be issuable or payable to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. All shares of Stock, if any, issued hereunder shall be delivered either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares to the Participant or by entering such shares in book-entry form, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The value of shares of Stock shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time.  Neither this Section 6 nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement shall be construed to create a trust or a funded or secured obligation of any kind.
7.Tax Withholding.  To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award results in compensation income or wages to the Participant for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, then (a) for any Participant that is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, with respect to any portion of the Award that is required to be settled in the form of Stock pursuant to Section 6 above, the Company shall withhold from the Stock to be issued the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the applicable tax obligation for that portion of the Award, unless the Committee takes action to provide for a different withholding method prior to the date of the event giving rise to the tax withholding obligation, and (b) for any Participant that is not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or with respect to any portion of the Award that is settled in the form of a cash payment, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to this Award, which arrangements include the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Stock (including previously owned Stock, net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate. If such tax obligations are satisfied through net settlement or the surrender of previously owned Stock, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of shares of Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or surrender equal to the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment for the Company with respect to this Award, as determined by the Committee. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award or disposition of the underlying shares and that the Participant has been advised, and hereby is advised, to consult a tax advisor. The Participant represents that the Participant is in no manner relying on the Board, the Committee, the Company or an Affiliate or any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences.
8.Non-Transferability.  During the lifetime of the Participant, the PSUs may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and 

Exhibit 10.6

distribution, unless and until the shares of Stock underlying the PSUs have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed.  Neither the Award nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means, whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.
9.Compliance with Applicable Law.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the issuance of shares of Stock hereunder will be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of applicable law with respect to such securities and with the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.  No shares of Stock will be issued hereunder if such issuance would constitute a violation of any applicable law or regulation or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.  In addition, shares of Stock will not be issued hereunder unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect at the time of such issuance with respect to the shares to be issued or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares to be issued are permitted to be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Stock hereunder will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.  As a condition to any issuance of Stock hereunder, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any requirements that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect to such compliance as may be requested by the Company.
10.Legends.  If a stock certificate is issued with respect to shares of Stock issued hereunder, such certificate shall bear such legend or legends as the Committee deems appropriate in order to reflect the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and to ensure compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any applicable laws or the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Stock is then listed.  If the shares of Stock issued hereunder are held in book-entry form, then such entry will reflect that the shares are subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
11.Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Stock that may become deliverable hereunder unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares of Stock, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares of Stock, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement.
12.Execution of Receipts and Releases.  Any issuance or transfer of shares of Stock or other property to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, heir, legatee or 

Exhibit 10.6

distributee, in accordance with this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all claims of such Person hereunder.  As a condition precedent to such payment or issuance, the Company may require the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee to execute (and not revoke within any time provided to do so) a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine appropriate; provided, however, that any review period under such release will not modify the date of settlement with respect to Vested Award.
13.No Right to Continued Employment, Service or Awards. Nothing in the adoption of the Plan, nor the award of the Award thereunder pursuant to the Grant Notice and this Agreement, shall confer upon the Participant the right to continued employment by, or a continued service relationship with, the Company or any Affiliate, or any other entity, or affect in any way the right of the Company or any such Affiliate, or any other entity to terminate such employment or other service relationship at any time. The grant of the Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Any future Awards will be granted at the sole discretion of the Company.
14.Legal and Equitable Remedies. The Participant acknowledges that a violation or attempted breach of any of the Participant's covenants and agreements in this Agreement will cause such damage as will be irreparable, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and accordingly, the parties hereto agree that the Company and its Affiliates shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining the Participant or the affiliates, partners or agents of the Participant from such breach or attempted violation of such covenants and agreements, as well as to recover from the Participant any and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by the Company or any Affiliate in obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees. The parties to this Agreement agree that no bond or other security shall be required in connection with such injunction. Any exercise by either of the parties to this Agreement of its rights pursuant to this Section 14 shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies to which such party may be entitled.
15.Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Affiliates make no representations that the Award provided under this Agreement are exempt from or compliant with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules and in no event shall the Company or any Affiliate be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules.

events and should such breach arguably relate to more than one of those representations and warranties with different trigger

conditions (e.g. one containing
a knowledge qualifier and the other not), then the trigger conditions of the more specific representation and warranty shall also apply
to any other potentially applicable representation or warranty of Affiris.

 

		87	For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section
12 (Remedies) shall not limit any liability or obligation of Affiris under this Agreement
other than for misrepresentations or breach of warranties under Section 11.1 (Representations
and Warranties of Affiris). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
no claim or right of ACIU shall be limited in any way due to the fact that any Party

any claims made on the basis of any statutory provisions prescribing liability for acquirers regarding parts of the business of Affiris
not transferred hereunder); for the avoidance of doubt, Affiris
shall not be liable (and therefore shall not indemnify and hold harmless ACIU) for any claims arising from or in connection with any rights
and assets transferred under or in connection with this Agreement from Affiris
to ACIU;

 

		90	Any claim made or brought by a Third Party under the Advisory
Services Agreement dated 17 October 2019 between Affiris and Lynx Financial, Shanghai, against
ACIU. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties note that the Advisory Services Agreement
between Affiris and Lynx Financial or any obligations and rights thereunder shall not transfer
to ACIU under this Agreement;

 

		91	Any claim pertaining to Taxes of Affiris
(regardless of whether as primary debtor or based on a secondary liability, as original debtor or successor in each case under
any applicable law).

		92	ACIU shall, with effect from the date of this Agreement
and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify on demand and hold harmless Affiris

Agreement.

and convertible into ACIU shares to be issued by ACIU upon terms and conditions of such Pipe Agreement.

Vendors

 

		97	With effect as of Closing, Affiris uses its best efforts
to support ACIU in placing work orders to book manufacturing slots with each of the Necessary Vendors
and to agree on contractual terms with the Necessary Vendors for manufacturing services,
either according to the terms and conditions of the master service agreements that each of these Necessary

		14.3	Licenses for Affiris

 

		98	Effective upon and subject to Closing, ACIU hereby provides
an irrevocable and non-terminable (except for a termination for good cause) (unwiderruflich und unkündbar) license to Affiris

and undertakes not to challenge the validity of any Programs IP. Affiris
shall be authorized to transfer or sublicense the License-Back to a Third
Party acquirer or licensee of the Affiris Programs without ACIU’s prior consent,
provided that such transfer or sublicense of the License-Back to the acquirer or licensee
will be conditional upon such acquirer or licensee confirming to ACIU in writing that it agrees to practice the License-Back
subject to the conditions provided herein, and that it shall not challenge the validity of any Programs
IP.

give all declarations regarding the rights and licenses granted under and required for Affiris,
its sub-licensees and assignees for the use of the License-Back.

securities and corporate laws and any other requirements imposed by applicable laws or regulations in connection with the issuance of

applicable law or regulation.

 

		14.5	Non-Competition / Non-Solicitation

 

		103	Affiris hereby undertakes for a period of [*****] years
from Closing, not to directly or indirectly, be it as principal, employee, consultant or
otherwise

 

		i)	compete with ACIU with regard to the Programs,
including, for clarity, with regard to Targets in any way;

 

		ii)	invest in, or lend money to, any Third

		15	Procedure for Third Party claims

 

		104	In case of any claim brought or threatened by a Third Party,
including claims brought by any public authority, against one Party (such Party
the "Indemnified Party") which is subject to an obligation of indemnification
by the other Party under this Agreement in
accordance with Sections 11-13 of this Agreement,
the Indemnified Party shall give the other Party
immediately (but in no event later than 7 (seven) Business Days after becoming aware of
the relevant facts, matters, circumstances or events) a written notice describing the claim of a Third
Party in detail, including copies of all material written evidence thereof and indicating the estimated amount of Damage
of such Third Party claim or proceeding. Failure to give such notice shall not, however,
affect the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification except to the extent the other Party
is prejudiced by such failure. No admissions in relation to such claim of a Third Party
shall be made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party and the claim of such Third
Party shall not be compromised, disposed of or settled without the prior written consent of the respective other Party.

 

		105	The other Party shall then have twenty (20) Business
Days after receipt of such notice to notify the Indemnified Party that it elects
to conduct and control the defense of such Third Party claims (the "Notice
of Defense"). If the other Party does not give a Notice
of Defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend or settle such claims
or proceedings in its exclusive discretion

 

    25 

     

    

and the other Party
shall, upon request from the Indemnified Party, promptly indemnify the Indemnified
Party.

 

		16	Miscellaneous provisions

 

		16.1	Announcements

 

		106	The Parties have agreed upon the content of the press releases
set forth in Annex 6 hereto, each of which shall be issued substantially
in the forms attached hereto as Annex 6, the release of which the Parties
shall coordinate in order to accomplish such release promptly upon execution of this Agreement.
Neither Party shall issue any other public announcement, press release or other public disclosure
regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without the other Party’s
prior written consent, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the disclosing Party’s
counsel, required by applicable law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing Party
are listed.

 

		16.2	Costs

 

		107	Unless otherwise expressly agreed between the Parties, each
Party shall bear its own costs incurred in relation to this Agreement
and the Transfer (including fees of attorneys, experts and advisors).

 

		108	All documented costs and expenses in connection with the transfer of the Transferred
Assets and the Programs (such as for IP, data, documents, information and materials,
but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any fees of attorneys, experts and advisors) exceeding EUR 10'000 (Euro ten thousand)
shall be borne by ACIU after pre-approval of such costs and expenses exceeding EUR 10'000 (Euro ten thousand) by ACIU.

 

		16.3	Taxes

 

		109	Each Party shall bear all Taxes
for which it is liable under applicable law incurred in connection with the Transfer or
any part thereof.

 

		110	This Agreement is established outside of Austria and the
Parties commit not to set actions that would trigger Austrian stamp duty, except in case
required to prove genuity of the document by official authorities or courts or in case genuity of the document is disputed by another
Party. Any possible Austrian stamp duty shall be borne equally by the Parties.

 

		111	The Parties agree that the Swiss stamp duty on the issuance
of the ACIU Shares (Emissionsabgabe) shall be borne by ACIU.

 

		112	All sums payable under this Agreement are (unless expressly
stated otherwise) exclusive of any applicable VAT.

 

		16.4	Amendments and modifications

 

		113	This Agreement, including this Section
16.4, may only be amended or modified by a document in writing duly executed by the Parties
(and, if required, notarized in a public deed, but only if the amendments or modifications relate to parts of this Agreement
which mandatorily require to be notarized in a public deed).

 

    26 

     

    

		16.5	Entire Agreement

 

		114	This Agreement together with its Annexes
and all documents and agreements it refers to constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and shall replace all other prior agreements
or understandings of the Parties relating thereto.

 

		16.6	Transfer and assignment

 

		115	No Party may transfer or assign, in whole or in part, this
Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
to any person without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Any transfer or assignment made without such approval shall be null and void.

 

		116	However, notwithstanding the above, after Registration ACIU
may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or its rights or obligations under this
Agreement, in whole or in part, without Affiris’
consent (a) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of ACIU to a Third
Party, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, provided that such Third
Party agrees to be bound by, and assumes and succeeds to, all of the obligations of ACIU under this Agreement
or (b) to an Affiliate, in each case provided that ACIU shall remain liable and responsible
to Affiris for the performance and observance of all obligations under this Agreement
by such Affiliate or such Third Party (as
the case may be).

 

		16.7	Severability

 

		117	If a provision of this Agreement should be or become invalid
in whole or in part, or if one or several of the Transferred Assets could not be transferred,
or if this Agreement should contain contractual gaps, this shall not affect the validity
of the remaining provisions. In lieu of the invalid provision, such reasonable provision shall apply which, as far as legally permissible,
best reflects the Parties' intentions. For the purpose of filling a contractual gap such
reasonable provision shall apply which the Parties would have intended in view of the scope
and purpose of this Agreement had they considered the issue.
