 V. 
 VERFÜGUNGEN ÜBER GESCHÄFTSANTEILE 
 Die Übertragung
von Geschäftsanteilen, insgesamt oder von Teilen von Geschäftsanteilen, alle anderen Verfügungen oder Belastungen, sowie der Abschluss von Treuhandvereinbarungen in Bezug auf die Anteile an der Gesellschaft bedürfen zu ihrer
Wirksamkeit der Zustimmung der Gesellschafterversammlung, die mit einfacher Mehrheit erteilt werden kann. Dies gilt auch für die von der Gesellschaft selbst gehaltenen Anteile. 
 VI. 
 EINZIEHUNG VON
GESCHÄFTSANTEILEN 
  

	1.	Die Einziehung von Geschäftsanteilen bedarf eines Beschlusses der Gesellschafterversammlung und ist nur mit Zustimmung des betroffenen Gesellschafters zulässig. Der
Zustimmung des betroffenen Gesellschafters bedarf es nicht und der betroffene Gesellschafter hat kein Stimmrecht bezüglich des Beschlusses über die Einziehung seiner Geschäftsanteile, wenn 

  

	 	(a)	über das Vermögen des Gesellschafters ein Insolvenzverfahren eröffnet wurde oder wenn die Eröffnung eines Insolvenzverfahrens mangels Masse abgelehnt wurde oder,
falls der Gesellschafter US-amerikanischem Recht unterliegt, wenn der Gesellschafter einen Antrag auf ein Konkurs- (bankruptcy), Insolvenz- (insolvency) oder Umstrukturierung- (reorganization) Verfahren eingereicht hat oder
gegen den Gesellschafter ein Antrag auf ein Konkurs-, Insolvenz- oder Umstrukturierungsverfahren eingereicht wurde, welcher (i) die Erteilung eines Eröffnungsbeschlusses zur Folge hat und (ii) nicht innerhalb von 60 Tagen abgelehnt
wird oder erledigt ist; 

  

	 	(b)	die Geschäftsanteile des Gesellschafters gepfändet wurden und die Pfändung nicht innerhalb eines Monats aufgehoben wurde oder der Gläubiger die Verwertung der
gepfändeten Geschäftsanteile betreibt; 

  

	 	(c)	der Gesellschafter Auflösungsklage erhebt; oder 

  

	 	(d)	sonst ein wichtiger Grund vorliegt, einschließlich Umstände in der Person des Gesellschafters, welche die anderen Gesellschafter dazu berechtigen würden, den
betreffenden Gesellschafter gemäß § 140 HGB auszuschließen.

 2

	2.	Die Einziehung erfolgt gegen Entgelt. Die Höhe des Entgelts richtet sich nach dem gemeinen Wert der Geschäftsanteile, der nach den Richtlinien der Finanzverwaltung in
ihrer jeweils gültigen Fassung zur Bewertung von Geschäftsanteilen, deren Wert sich nicht aus Verkäufen ableiten lässt, zu ermitteln ist. Maßgebend für die Wertermittlung sind die Verhältnisse am letzten
Bilanzstichtag der Gesellschaft, jedoch kann jeder der Gesellschafter auf eigene Kosten eine Berichtigung des Wertansatzes zum Einziehungsstichtag verlangen. Im Streitfall und auf Antrag eines Gesellschafters wird der Wert der Geschäftsanteile
durch einen von der Industrie- und Handelskammer am Sitz der Gesellschaft zu benennenden Schiedsgutachter, der Wirtschaftsprüfer sein muss, rechtsverbindlich festgesetzt. Eventuell vorhandene Grundstücke und Gebäude werden mit ihrem
gutachterlich festgesetzten üblichen Verkehrswert bewertet. 

  

	3.	Sofern die Einziehung von Geschäftsanteilen zulässig ist, können die betroffenen Geschäftsanteile ganz oder teilweise durch Beschluss der
Gesellschafterversammlung an einen durch diesen Gesellschafterbeschluss zu benennenden Dritten (einschließlich Gesellschafter der Gesellschaft) übertragen werden. Bei dieser Beschlussfassung durch die Gesellschafter steht dem betroffenen
Gesellschafter kein Stimmrecht zu. Falls die Gesellschafterversammlung die Übertragung des betroffenen Anteils an einen Dritten beschlossen hat, gilt der obige Abschnitt 2 entsprechend, jedoch mit der Maßgabe, dass das Entgelt von diesem
Dritten zu zahlen ist. 

  

	4.	Wenn die Gesellschafterversammlung beschließt, die Geschäftsanteile des betroffenen Gesellschafters einzuziehen oder die Übertragung seiner Geschäftsanteile an
einen Dritten zu verlangen, scheidet dieser unmittelbar aus der Gesellschaft aus. 

 VII. 
 GESCHÄFTSFÜHRUNG UND VERTRETUNG 
  

	1.	Die Gesellschaft hat einen oder mehrere Geschäftsführer. Ist nur ein Geschäftsführer bestellt, so vertritt dieser die Gesellschaft allein. Sind mehrere
Geschäftsführer bestellt, so wird die Gesellschaft durch zwei Geschäftsführer gemeinschaftlich oder durch einen Geschäftsführer in Gemeinschaft mit einem Prokuristen vertreten. Die Gesellschafterversammlung kann
beschließen, einzelnen oder allen Geschäftsführern Einzelvertretungsbefugnis zu erteilen und/oder diese von den Beschränkungen des § 181 BGB zu befreien. 

  

	2.	Der Geschäftsführer Prof. Dr. Peter Stadler wird von den Beschränkungen des § 181 BGB befreit.

 XIII. 
 MITVERÄUßERUNGSRECHT, VORKAUFSRECHT, ANDIENUNGSPFLICHT 
  

	1.	Für den Fall, dass Taconic Farms, Inc. (“Taconic”) den Verkauf oder die Übertragung ihrer Anteile an der Gesellschaft beabsichtigt, wird Taconic Exelixis
Inc. (“Exelixis”) schriftlich (i) die Person, an die Taconic die Geschäftsanteile verkaufen oder übertragen will (“Käufer”), und (ii) den Kaufpreis und sämtliche anderen Bedingungen, zu
denen sie beabsichtigt, ihre Geschäftsanteile zu verkaufen oder zu übertragen, mitteilen (“Angebot”). Exelixis wird Taconic innerhalb von dreißig Tagen nach Erhalt des Angebots schriftlich darüber in Kenntnis
setzen, ob sie ihre Anteile an der Gesellschaft zu den im Angebot festgelegten Bedingungen mitveräußern möchte (“Annahmefrist”). Für den Fall, dass Exelixis Taconic innerhalb der Annahmefrist mitteilt, dass sie
ihre Anteile an der Gesellschaft zu den im Angebot festgelegten Bedingungen mitveräußern möchte, wird Taconic dafür sorgen, dass (i) der Käufer alle von Exelixis gehaltenen Anteile an der Gesellschaft zusammen mit den
von Taconic gehaltenen Anteilen an der Gesellschaft zu Bedingungen erwirbt, die für Exelixis nicht ungünstiger sind als die im Angebot festgelegten Bedingungen, und dass (ii) Exelixis im Rahmen des Anteilskaufvertrags mit dem
Käufer lediglich Garantien im Hinblick auf die freie und unbelastete Übertragung des Eigentums an den Anteilen der Gesellschaft abgeben muss. 

  

	2.	Für den Fall, dass der im Angebot festgesetzte Kaufpreis einen bestimmten Schwellenwert unterschreitet, der von Zeit zu Zeit zwischen Taconic und Exelixis vereinbart wird,
gewährt Taconic Exelixis ein Vorkaufsrecht. In diesem Fall teilt Exelixis Taconic schriftlich innerhalb der Annahmefrist mit, ob sie die von Taconic gehaltenen Anteile an der Gesellschaft zu den im Angebot festgelegten Bedingungen erwerben
möchte. Für den Fall, dass Exelixis Taconic innerhalb der Annahmefrist mitteilt, dass sie die von Taconic gehaltenen Anteile an der Gesellschaft zu den im Angebot festgelegten Bedingungen erwerben möchte, werden die Parteien einen
entsprechenden Anteilskauf- und Übertragungsvertrag schließen. 

  

	3.	 Für den Fall, dass (i) Exelixis Taconic mitteilt, dass sie ihre Anteile an der Gesellschaft nicht an den Käufer mitveräußern und dass sie
die von Taconic gehaltenen Anteile an der Gesellschaft nicht erwerben möchte, oder dass (ii) Exelixis Taconic mitteilt, dass sie ihre Anteile an der Gesellschaft erwerben möchte und die Parteien nach den Grundsätzen von Treu und
Glauben einen Kauf- und Übertragungsvertrag verhandeln, aber innerhalb von 90 Tagen nach Erhalt der Mitteilung durch Taconic keine Einigung über dessen abschließenden Inhalt erzielen können, oder dass (iii) Exelixis Taconic
nicht innerhalb der Annahmefrist benachrichtigt, ist Taconic berechtigt, die Anteile an der Gesellschaft zu den im Angebot festgelegten Bedingungen (einschließlich des Kaufpreises) innerhalb von sechs Monaten nach Ablauf der Annahmefrist an
den Käufer zu verkaufen und auf

diesen zu übertragen, jedoch mit der Maßgabe, dass Taconic dafür Sorge trägt, dass der Käufer anstelle von Taconic als Partei in
eine etwa zu diesem Zeitpunkt zwischen Exelixis und Taconic bestehende Gesellschaftervereinbarung eintritt. 

  

	4.	Ungeachtet der oben in den Ziffern 1 und 2 genannten Bestimmungen ist Taconic, für den Fall, dass sie beabsichtigt, ihre Anteile an der Gesellschaft an einen Dritten zu
verkaufen oder zu übertragen, berechtigt, Exelixis aufzufordern, ihre Geschäftsanteile zu den gleichen Bedingungen an diesen Dritten zu verkaufen oder zu übertragen (“Andienungsverpflichtung”), mit der Maßgabe,
dass (i) Exelixis, mit Ausnahme von Garantien, die sich auf die freie und unbelastete Übertragung des Eigentums an den Anteilen der Gesellschaft beschränken, nicht verpflichtet ist, Garantien gegenüber Dritten abzugeben,
(ii) Taconic die Andienungsverpflichtung innerhalb eines Zeitraums von einem Jahr nach Unterzeichnung dieses Gesellschaftsvertrags nicht ausüben darf und (iii) der Kaufpreis für die von Exelixis gehaltenen Anteile an der
Gesellschaft entweder (A) dem Betrag entspricht, der nach einer von Zeit zu Zeit zwischen Taconic und Exelixis zu vereinbarenden Marktwertformel zu berechnen ist, mit der Maßgabe, dass die Mitteilung von Taconic an Exelixis über die
Ausübung der Andienungsverpflichtung der maßgebliche Zeitpunkt für die Berechnung ist oder (B) einem bestimmten Schwellenwert entspricht, der von Zeit zu Zeit zwischen Taconic und Exelixis vereinbart wird, je nachdem, welcher
Wert (A) oder (B) höher ist. Für den Fall, dass Taconic berechtigt ist, die Andienungsverpflichtung gemäß dieser Ziffer 4 auszuüben, gilt die Zustimmung von Exelixis zum Verkauf oder der Übertragung der
von Taconic gehaltenen Anteile an der Gesellschaft an einen Dritten als erteilt. 

  

	5.	Die Regelungen in diesem Abschnitt XIII gelten nicht für den Fall des Verkaufs und der Übertragung von Anteilen an der Gesellschaft durch Taconic an Gesellschafter
von Taconic, Verwandte im Sinne des § 15 AO von Gesellschaftern von Taconic, sowie verbundene Unternehmen im Sinne der §§ 15 ff. AktG, einschließlich verbundenen Trusts und Foundations, von
(i) Taconic, (ii) den Gesellschaftern von Taconic oder (iii) einem Verwandten im Sinne des § 15 AO von Gesellschaftern von Taconic (jeweils eine “nahestehende Person”). In vorgenanntem Fall tritt jedoch die
nahestehende Person in die Rechte und Pflichten von Taconic aus diesem Abschnitt XIII ein. 

  

	6.	Alle im Rahmen dieses Abschnitts XIII erforderlichen Mitteilungen gelten als bei der jeweils anderen Partei am dritten Werktag nach Absendung der jeweiligen Mitteilung
zugegangen.

 SALVATORISCHE KLAUSEL 
 Sollten Bestimmungen dieses Gesellschaftsvertrags oder eine zu
einem späteren Zeitpunkt aufgenommene Bestimmung ganz oder teilweise rechtsunwirksam oder undurchführbar sein oder werden, so werden die übrigen Bestimmungen dieses Gesellschaftsvertrags davon nicht berührt. Das gleiche gilt,
wenn sich herausstellen sollte, dass der Gesellschaftsvertrag eine Regelungslücke enthält. An die Stelle der unwirksamen oder undurchführbaren Bestimmung oder zur Schließung einer Regelungslücke tritt eine angemessene
Bestimmung, die, soweit rechtlich möglich, dem am nächsten kommt, was die Parteien beabsichtigt haben oder nach dem Sinn und Zweck des Gesellschaftsvertrags beabsichtigt hätten, wenn die Parteien dies bei Abschluss des
Gesellschaftsvertrags oder bei einer späteren Aufnahme einer Bestimmung bedacht hätten.

following receipt of the Offer Letter (“Acceptance Period”). If Exelixis notifies Taconic that it wishes to co-sell its shares in the Company under the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Letter within the Acceptance Period,

guarantees to be provided by Exelixis in the share purchase agreement with the Purchaser are limited to its free and clear title to its shares in the Company. 

  

	2.	If the purchase price set forth in the Offer Letter is less than a certain threshold to be agreed upon between Taconic and Exelixis from time to time, Taconic shall grant to
Exelixis a right of first refusal. In this case, Exelixis shall give notice to Taconic in writing whether it wishes to purchase the shares of the Company owned by Taconic under the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Letter within the
Acceptance Period. If Exelixis notifies Taconic that it wishes to purchase the shares of the Company owned by Taconic under the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Letter within the Acceptance Period, the Parties shall enter into a
respective share purchase agreement. 

  

	3.	If (i) Exelixis notifies Taconic that it does not wish to co-sell its shares in the Company to the Purchaser and that it does not wish to purchase the shares of the Company
owned by Taconic, or if (ii) Exelixis notifies Taconic that it wishes to purchase the shares of the Company owned by Taconic and if the Parties negotiate a share purchase agreement in good faith but cannot agree on final documentation within 90
days following the receipt of the notification by Taconic, or if (iii) Exelixis does not give notice to Taconic within the Acceptance Period, Taconic shall be entitled to sell and transfer its shares in the Company to the Purchaser under the
terms and conditions (including the purchase price) set forth in the Offer Letter within six months following the expiration of the Acceptance Period, provided, however, that Taconic shall procure that the Purchaser replaces Taconic as a Party to
any shareholders’ agreement then in place between Exelixis and Taconic. 

  

	4.	 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 above, if Taconic intends to sell the shares it owns in the Company to a third party, Taconic may request
Exelixis to sell and transfer its shares to such third party (“Drag Along Right”) under equivalent terms and conditions, provided that (i) Exelixis shall not be obliged to grant any guarantees to the third party except for free
and clear title to its shares in the Company, (ii) Taconic may not exercise its Drag Along Right within a period of one year following the date hereof, and (iii) the purchase price for the shares of the Company owned by Exelixis shall be
the greater of (A) the purchase price calculated in accordance with a market value formula to be agreed upon between Taconic and Exelixis from time to time, provided that the relevant point in time shall be the notification of Taconic to
Exelixis of the exercise of its Drag Along Right and (B) a

certain threshold to be agreed upon between Taconic and Exelixis from time to time. In case Taconic is entitled to exercise its Drag Along Right in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, any approval by Exelixis of the sale and transfer of the shares of the Company owned by Taconic to the third party shall be deemed to be granted. 

  

	5.	The provisions of this Part XIII do not apply in the event of a sale and transfer of the shares of the Company by Taconic to any shareholders of Taconic, any relatives within
the meaning of Sec. 15 of the German Tax Code (Abgabenordnung – AO) to any of the shareholders of Taconic, and any affiliated persons within the meaning of Sec. 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz –
AktG), including affiliated trusts and/or foundations to (i) Taconic, (ii) the shareholders of Taconic, or (iii) any relative within the meaning of Sec. 15 of the German Tax Code (Abgabenordnung – AO) to a shareholder of
Taconic (in each case an “Affiliated Person”). In the aforementioned event, the Affiliated Person shall, however, assume the rights and obligations of Taconic under this Part XIII. 

  

	6.	Any notification required under this Part XIII shall be deemed to be received by the respective other party on the third business day following the posting of the respective
notification. 

 XIV. 
 SEVERABILITY 
 If provisions of these Articles of Association or a provision thereof included at some later time be entirely
or partially legally ineffective or unenforceable or should provisions later lose their legal effectiveness or enforceability, the validity of the remaining provisions of these Articles of Association shall not be affected. The same applies if it
becomes apparent that the Articles of Association contain an omission. In place of the ineffective or unenforceable provision, or, to fill such omission, a reasonable provision shall apply which to the extent legally possible comes as close as
possible to what the parties intended or would have intended according to the purpose of the Articles of Association, if the parties had considered the issue at the time of conclusion of these Articles of Association or at a later inclusion of a
provision.
