Exhibit 10.2

CUMMINGS PROPERTIES, LLC 

STANDARD FORM

COMMERCIAL LEASE03030131-AFA

In consideration of the covenants herein contained, Cummings Properties, LLC (“LESSOR”), does hereby lease to AdvanDx, Inc. (a DE corp.), 222 Partridge Lane, Concord, MA 01742 (“LESSEE”), the following described premises (“the leased premises”): approximately 1,426 square feet (including 14.7% common area) at 25-K Olympia Avenue, Suite 600, Woburn, MA 01801, TO HAVE AND HOLD the leased premises for a term of two (2) years commencing at noon on April 1, 2003 and ending at noon on March 30, 2005 unless sooner terminated as herein provided. LESSOR and LESSEE now covenant and agree that the following terms and conditions shall govern this lease during the term hereof and for such further time as LESSEE shall hold the leased premises or any portion thereof.

1.RENT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR base rent at the rate of thirty two thousand seven hundred ninety eight (32,798) U.S. dollars per year, drawn on a U.S. bank, payable in advance in monthly installments of $2,733.16 on the first day in each calendar month. The first monthly payment, plus an appropriate fraction of a monthly payment for any portion of a month at the commencement of the lease term, shall be made upon LESSEE’s execution of this lease. All payments shall be made to LESSOR or agent at 200 West Cummings Park, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801, or at such other place as LESSOR shall from time to time in writing designate. If the “Cost of Living” has increased as shown by the Consumer Price Index (Boston, Massachusetts, all items, all urban consumers), U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the amount of base rent due during each calendar year of this lease and any extensions thereof shall be annually adjusted in proportion to any increase in the Index. All such adjustments shall take place with the rent due on January 1 of each year during the lease term. The base month from which to determine the amount of each increase in the Index shall be January 2003 which figure shall be compared with the figure for November 2003 and each November thereafter to determine the percentage increase (if any) in the base rent to be paid during the following calendar year. In the event the Consumer Price Index as presently computed is discontinued as a measure of “Cost of Living” changes, any adjustment shall then be made on the basis of a comparable index then in general use.

2.SECURITY DEPOSIT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR a security deposit in the amount of eight thousand (8,000) U.S. dollars upon the execution of this lease by LESSEE, which shall be held as security for LESSEE’s performance as herein provided and refunded to LESSEE without interest at the end of this lease, subject to LESSEE’s satisfactory compliance with the conditions hereof. LESSEE may not apply the security deposit to any payment due under the lease. In the event of any default or breach of this Lease by LESSEE, however, LESSOR may elect to apply the security deposit first to any unamortized improvements completed for LESSEE’s occupancy, then to offset any outstanding invoice or other payment due to LESSOR, and then to outstanding rent. If all or any portion of the security deposit is applied to cure a default or breach during the term of the lease, LESSEE shall restore said deposit forthwith. LESSEE’s failure to remit the full security deposit or any portion thereof or to restore said deposit when due shall constitute a substantial lease default. Until such time as LESSEE pays the security deposit and first month’s rent, LESSOR may declare this lease null and void for failure of consideration.

3.USE OF PREMISES. LESSEE shall use the leased premises only for the purpose of executive and administrative offices and laboratory space.

4.ADDITIONAL RENT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR as additional rent a proportionate share (based on square footage leased by LESSEE as compared with the total leaseable square footage of the building or 

 

 

buildings of which the leased premises are a part (hereinafter called the building)) of any increase in the real estate taxes levied against the land and building, whether such increase is caused by an increase in the tax rate or the assessment on the property, or a change in the method of determining real estate taxes. LESSEE shall make payment within 10 days after receipt of any invoice from LESSOR, and any additional rent shall be prorated should the lease terminate before the end of any tax year. The base from which to determine the amount of any increase in taxes shall be the rate and the assessment in effect as of July 1, 2002.

5.UTILITIES. LESSOR shall provide equipment per LESSOR’s building standard specifications to heat the leased premises in season and to cool all office areas between May 1 and November 1. LESSEE shall pay all charges for utilities used on the leased premises, including electricity, gas, oil, water and sewer, and shall use whichever utility service provider LESSOR shall designate from time to time. LESSEE shall pay the utility provider or LESSOR, as applicable, for all such utility charges as determined by separate meters serving the leased premises and/or as a proportionate share of the utility charges for the building if not separately metered. LESSEE shall also pay LESSOR a proportionate share of any other fees and charges relating in any way to utility use at the building.

6.COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. LESSEE acknowledges that no trade, occupation, activity or work shall be conducted in the leased premises or use made thereof which may be unlawful, improper, noisy, offensive, or contrary to any applicable statute, regulation, ordinance or bylaw. LESSEE shall keep all employees working in the leased premises covered by Worker’s Compensation Insurance and shall obtain any licenses and permits necessary for LESSEE’s use and occupancy. LESSEE shall be responsible for causing the leased premises and any alterations by LESSEE allowed hereunder to be in full compliance with any applicable statute, regulation, ordinance or bylaw.

7.FIRE, CASUALTY, EMINENT DOMAIN. Should a substantial portion of the leased premises, or of the property of which they are a part, be substantially damaged by fire or other casualty, or be taken by eminent domain, LESSOR may elect to terminate this lease. When such fire, casualty, or taking renders the leased premises substantially unsuitable for their intended use, a proportionate abatement of rent shall be made, and LESSEE may elect to terminate this lease if: (a) LESSOR fails to give written notice within 30 days of its intention to restore the leased premises; or (b) LESSOR fails to restore the leased premises to a condition substantially suitable for their intended use within 90 days of said fire, casualty or taking. LESSOR reserves all rights for damages or injury to the leased premises for any taking by eminent domain, except for damage to LESSEE’s property or equipment.

8.FIRE INSURANCE. LESSEE shall not permit any use of the leased premises which will adversely affect or make voidable any insurance on the property of which the leased premises are a part, or on the contents of said property, or which shall be contrary to any law, regulation or recommendation from time to time made by the Insurance Services Office (or successor organization), state fire prevention agency, local fire department, LESSOR’s insurer, or any similar entity. LESSEE shall on demand reimburse LESSOR and all other tenants all extra insurance premiums caused by LESSEE’s use of the leased premises. LESSEE shall not vacate the leased premises or permit same to be unoccupied other than during LESSEE’s customary non-business days or hours, or cause or allow the utilities serving the leased premises to be terminated.

9.SIGNS. LESSEE, at LESSEE’s expense, shall erect promptly upon commencement of this lease, and then maintain signage for the leased premises in accordance with building standards for style, size, location, etc. now or hereafter made by LESSOR. LESSEE shall obtain the prior written consent of LESSOR before erecting any sign on the leased premises, which consent shall include approval as to size, wording, design and location. LESSOR may at LESSEE’s expense remove and dispose of any sign not approved, erected, maintained or displayed in conformance with this lease.

10.MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES. LESSOR will be responsible for all structural maintenance of the leased premises and for the normal day time maintenance of all space heating and cooling equipment, 

2

 

sprinklers, doors, locks, plumbing, and electrical wiring, but specifically excluding damage caused by the careless, malicious, willful, or negligent acts of LESSEE or others, and chemical, corrosion, or water damage from any source. LESSEE agrees to maintain at its expense all other aspects of the leased premises in the same condition as they are at the commencement of the term or as they may be put in with LESSOR’s written consent during the term of this lease, normal wear and tear only excepted, and whenever necessary, to replace light bulbs and glass, acknowledging that the leased premises are now in good order and the light bulbs and glass whole. LESSEE shall at all times properly control and vent all solvents, degreasers, radioactive materials, smoke, odors, and any other materials that may be harmful, and shall not cause the area surrounding the leased premises or any other common area as defined below to be in anything other than a neat and clean condition, depositing all waste in appropriate receptacles. LESSEE shall be solely responsible for any damage to plumbing equipment, sanitary lines, or any other portion of the building which results from the discharge or use of any substance by LESSEE. LESSEE shall not permit the leased premises to be overloaded, damaged, stripped or defaced, nor suffer any waste, and will not keep animals within the leased premises. If the leased premises include any wooden mezzanine type space, the floor capacity of such space is suitable only for office use, light storage or assembly work. LESSEE will protect any carpet with plastic or Masonite chair pads under any rolling chairs. Unless heat is provided at LESSOR’s expense, LESSEE shall maintain sufficient heat to prevent freezing of pipes or other damage. Any increase in air conditioning equipment or electrical capacity, or any installation or maintenance of any “non-building standard” leasehold improvements or equipment which is necessitated by some specific aspect of LESSEE’s use of the leased premises, whether installed by LESSOR, LESSEE or a prior occupant, shall be LESSEE’s sole responsibility, at LESSEE’s expense, and subject to LESSOR’s prior written consent. All maintenance provided by LESSOR shall be during LESSOR’s normal business hours.

11.ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASING. LESSEE shall not assign this lease or sublet or allow any other entity or individual to occupy the whole or any part of the leased premises without LESSOR’s prior written consent in each and every instance. In no case may LESSEE assign this lease or sublet the leased premises to any other current or prospective tenant of LESSOR, or any affiliate of such current or prospective tenant. As a condition to any assignment or subletting, an additional security deposit shall be paid to and held by LESSOR. In the event LESSEE notifies LESSOR in writing of its desire to assign or sublet the leased premises, LESSOR shall have the option to terminate this lease, at an effective date to be determined by LESSOR, upon written notice to LESSEE. Notwithstanding LESSOR’s consent to any assignment or subleasing, LESSEE and GUARANTOR shall remain liable to LESSOR for the payment of all rent and for the full performance of all covenants and conditions of this lease.

12.ALTERATIONS. LESSEE shall not make structural alterations or additions of any kind to the leased premises, but may make nonstructural alterations with LESSOR’s prior written consent. All such allowed alterations shall be at LESSEE’s expense and shall conform with LESSOR’s construction specifications. If LESSOR or its agent provides any services or maintenance for LESSEE in connection with such alterations or otherwise under this lease, including any maintenance or repairs LESSEE is required but has failed to do, LESSEE will promptly pay any just invoice. LESSEE shall obtain a lien waiver from any contractor it employs prior to commencement of any work. LESSEE shall not permit any mechanics’ liens, or similar liens, to remain upon the leased premises in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed at the direction of LESSEE and shall cause any such lien to be released or removed forthwith without cost to LESSOR. Any alterations or additions shall become part of the leased premises and the property of LESSOR. Any alterations completed by LESSOR or LESSEE shall be LESSOR’s building standard unless noted otherwise. LESSOR shall have the right at any time to make additions to the building, change the arrangement of parking areas, stairs, or walkways, or otherwise alter common areas or the exterior of the building.

13.LESSOR’S ACCESS. LESSOR and its agents and designees may at any reasonable time enter to view the leased premises; to show the leased premises to others; to make repairs and alterations as LESSOR or its 

3

 

designee should elect to do for the leased premises, the common areas, or any other portions of the building; and without creating any obligation or liability for LESSOR, to make repairs which LESSEE is required but has failed to do.

14.SNOW REMOVAL. The plowing of snow from all roadways and unobstructed parking areas shall be at the sole expense of LESSOR. The control of snow and ice on all walkways, steps and loading areas serving the leased premises and all other areas not readily accessible to plows shall be the sole responsibility of LESSEE.* Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, LESSEE shall hold LESSOR and OWNER harmless from any and all claims by LESSEE’s employees, agents, callers or invitees for damage or personal injury resulting in any way from snow or ice on any area serving the leased premises.

*LESSOR

15.ACCESS AND PARKING. Unless otherwise provided herein, LESSEE shall have the right without additional charge to use parking facilities provided for the leased premises in common with others entitled to the use thereof. Said parking areas plus any stairs, corridors, walkways, elevators or other common areas (herein collectively called the common areas) shall in all cases be considered a part of the leased premises when they are used by LESSEE or LESSEE’s employees, agents, callers or invitees. LESSEE will not obstruct in any manner any portion of the building or the walkways or approaches to the building. No unattended parking will be permitted between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM without LESSOR’s prior written approval, and from November 15 through April 15 annually, such parking shall be permitted only in those areas designated for assigned overnight parking. Unregistered or disabled vehicles, or storage trailers of any type, may not be parked at any time. LESSOR may tow, at LESSEE’s sole risk and expense, any misparked vehicle belonging to LESSEE or LESSEE’s employees, agents, callers or invitees, at any time. LESSOR does not provide and shall not be responsible for providing any security services.

16.LIABILITY. LESSEE shall be solely responsible as between LESSOR and LESSEE for deaths or personal injuries to all persons whomsoever occurring in or on the leased premises (including any common areas that are considered part of the leased premises hereunder) from whatever cause arising, and damage to property, including damage by fire or other casualty, to whomsoever belonging, arising out of the use, control, condition or occupation of the leased premises by LESSEE; and LESSEE agrees to indemnify and save harmless LESSOR and OWNER from any and all liability, including but not limited to costs, expenses, damages, causes of action, claims, judgments and attorney’s fees caused by or in any way growing out of any matters aforesaid, except for death, personal injuries or property damage directly resulting from the sole negligence of LESSOR.

17.INSURANCE. LESSEE will secure and carry at its own expense a commercial general liability policy insuring LESSEE, LESSOR and OWNER against any claims based on bodily injury (including death) or property damage arising out of the condition of the leased premises (including any common areas that are considered part of the leased premises hereunder) or their use by LESSEE, including damage by fire or other casualty, such policy to insure LESSEE, LESSOR and OWNER against any claim up to $1,000,000 in the case of any one accident involving bodily injury (including death), and $1,000,000 against any claim for damage to property. This insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any insurance carried by LESSOR, whose insurance shall be considered excess. LESSOR and OWNER shall be included in each such policy as additional insureds using ISO Form CG 20 26 11 85 or some other form approved by LESSOR, and each such policy shall be written by or with a company or companies satisfactory to LESSOR. Prior to occupancy, LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR certificates and any applicable riders or endorsements showing that such insurance is in force, and thereafter will provide renewal certificates at least 15 days prior to the expiration of any such policies. All such insurance certificates shall provide that such policies shall not be cancelled without at least 10 days prior written notice to each insured. In the event LESSEE fails to provide or maintain such insurance at any time during the term of this lease, LESSOR may elect to contract for such insurance at LESSEE’s expense.

18.BROKERAGE. LESSEE warrants and represents to LESSOR that LESSEE has dealt with no broker or third person with respect to this lease, and LESSEE agrees to indemnify LESSOR against any brokerage claims arising by virtue of this lease. LESSOR warrants and represents to LESSEE that LESSOR has employed no exclusive broker or agent in connection with the letting of the leased premises. In the event either party elects to employ a broker or third person on its behalf for any extension, renewal, or expansion of this lease, any fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility of the party engaging such broker or third person.

19.SUBORDINATION. This lease shall be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages and other instruments in the nature of a mortgage, now or at any time hereafter, and LESSEE shall, when requested, promptly execute and deliver such written instruments as shall be necessary to show the subordination of this lease to said mortgages or other such instruments in the nature of a mortgage.

20.DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF RENT. In the event that: (a) any assignment for the benefit of creditors, trust mortgage, receivership or other insolvency proceeding shall be made or instituted with respect to LESSEE or LESSEE’s property; (b) LESSEE shall default in the observance or performance of any of LESSEE’s covenants, agreements, or obligations hereunder, and such default shall not be corrected within 10 days after written notice thereof; or (c) LESSEE vacates the leased premises, then LESSOR shall have the right thereafter, while such default continues and without demand or further notice, to re-enter and take possession of the leased premises, to declare the term of this lease ended, and to remove LESSEE’s effects, without being guilty of any manner of trespass or conversion, and without prejudice to any remedies which might be otherwise used for arrears of rent or other default or breach of the lease. If LESSEE shall default in the payment of the security deposit, rent, taxes, or substantial invoice from LESSOR or LESSOR’s agent for goods and/or services or other sum herein specified, and such default shall continue for 10 days after written notice thereof, and, because both parties agree that nonpayment of said sums when due is a substantial breach of the lease, and, because the payment of rent in monthly installments is for the sole benefit and convenience of LESSEE, then, in addition to any other remedies, the entire balance of rent due hereunder shall become immediately due and payable as liquidated damages. LESSOR, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving any default, may remedy same for the account and at the expense of LESSEE. If LESSOR pays or incurs any obligations for the payment of money in connection therewith, such sums paid or obligations incurred, plus interest and costs, shall be paid to LESSOR by LESSEE as additional rent. Any sums received by LESSOR from or on behalf of LESSEE at any time shall be applied first to any unamortized improvements completed for LESSEE’s occupancy, then to offset any outstanding invoice or other payment due to LESSOR, and then to outstanding rent. If any rent or other payment is not received by LESSOR within five days after such payment is due, then LESSEE shall pay LESSOR a late charge equal to one percent of such overdue payment or $35, whichever is greater. LESSEE shall also pay LESSOR interest at the rate of 18 percent per annum on any payment from LESSEE to LESSOR which is past due.

21.NOTICE. Any notice from LESSOR to LESSEE relating to the leased premises or to the occupancy thereof shall be deemed duly served when left at the leased premises, or served by constable, or sent to the leased premises or to the last address designated by notice in accordance with this section, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by recognized courier service with a receipt therefor, addressed to LESSEE. Any notice from LESSEE to LESSOR relating to the leased premises or to the occupancy thereof shall be deemed duly served when served by constable, or delivered to LESSOR by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by recognized courier service with a receipt therefor, addressed to LESSOR at 200 West Cummings Park, Woburn, MA 01801 or at LESSOR’s last designated address. No oral notice or representation shall have any force or effect. Time is of the essence in the service of any notice.

22.OCCUPANCY. In the event that LESSEE takes possession of the leased premises prior to the start of the lease term, LESSEE will perform and observe all of its covenants from the date upon which it takes possession. LESSEE shall not remove LESSEE’s goods or property from the leased premises other than in the ordinary and 

5

 

usual course of business, without having first paid LESSOR all rent which may become due during the entire term of this lease. LESSOR may require LESSEE to relocate to another similar facility upon prior written notice to LESSEE and on terms comparable to those herein. In the event that LESSEE continues to occupy or control all or any part of the leased premises after the termination of this lease without the written permission of LESSOR, LESSEE shall be liable to LESSOR for any and all loss, damages or expenses incurred by LESSOR, and all other terms of this lease shall continue to apply, except that use and occupancy payments shall be due in full monthly installments at a rate which shall be two times the greater of the monthly rent due under this lease immediately prior to termination or LESSOR’s then current published rent for the leased premises, it being understood that such extended occupancy is a tenancy at sufferance, solely for the benefit and convenience of LESSEE and is of greater rental value. LESSEE’s control or occupancy of all or any part of the leased premises beyond noon on the last day of any monthly rental period shall constitute LESSEE’s occupancy for an entire additional month, and increased payment as provided in this section shall be due and payable immediately in advance. LESSOR’s acceptance of any payments from LESSEE during such extended occupancy shall not alter LESSEE’s status as a tenant at sufferance.

23.FIRE PREVENTION. LESSEE agrees to use every reasonable precaution against fire, and agrees to provide and maintain approved, labeled fire extinguishers, emergency lighting equipment, and exit signs, and complete any other modifications within the leased premises as required or recommended by the Insurance Services Office (or successor organization), OSHA, the local fire department, LESSOR’s insurer or any similar entity.

24.OUTSIDE AREA. Any goods, equipment, or things of an type or description held or stored in any common area without LESSOR’s prior written consent shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed by LESSOR at LESSEE’s expense without notice. LESSEE shall maintain a building standard size dumpster in a location approved by LESSOR, which dumpster shall be provided and serviced at LESSEE’s expense by whichever disposal firm LESSOR may designate from time to time. Alternatively, if a shared dumpster or compactor is provided by LESSOR, LESSEE shall pay the disposal firm or LESSOR, as applicable, LESSEE’s proportionate share of any costs associated therewith.

25.ENVIRONMENT. LESSEE will so conduct and operate the leased premises as not to interfere in any way with the use and enjoyment of other portions of the same or neighboring buildings by others by reason of odors, smoke, exhaust, smells, noise, pets, accumulation of garbage or trash, vermin or other pests, or otherwise, and will at its expense employ a professional pest control service if determined necessary by LESSOR. LESSEE agrees to maintain efficient and effective devices for preventing damage to plumbing and heating equipment from solvents, degreasers, cutting oils, propellants, acids, etc. which may be present at the leased premises. No hazardous materials or wastes shall be stored, disposed of, or allowed to remain at the leased premises at any time, and LESSEE shall be solely responsible for any and all corrosion or other damage in any way associated with the use, storage and/or disposal of same by LESSEE.

26.RESPONSIBILITY. Neither LESSOR nor OWNER shall be held liable to anyone for loss or damage caused in any way by the use, leakage, seepage, flooding or escape of water in any form or from any source, or for the interruption or cessation of any service rendered customarily to the leased premises or building or agreed to by the terms of this lease, or due to any accident, the making of repairs, alterations or improvements, labor difficulties, weather conditions, mechanical breakdowns, trouble or scarcity in obtaining fuel, electricity, service or supplies from the sources from which they are usually obtained for the building, or due to any change in any utility or service provider, or any cause beyond LESSOR’s immediate control.

27.SURRENDER. On or before the termination of this lease, LESSEE shall remove all of LESSEE’s goods and effects from the leased premises. LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR the leased premises and all keys and locks thereto, all fixtures and equipment connected therewith, and all alterations, additions and improvements made to or upon the leased premises, whether completed by LESSEE, LESSOR or others, including but not 

6

 

limited to any offices, partitions, window blinds, floor coverings (including computer floors), plumbing and plumbing fixtures, air conditioning equipment and ductwork of any type, exhaust fans or heaters, water coolers, burglar alarms, telephone wiring, telephone equipment, air or gas distribution piping, compressors, overhead cranes, hoists, trolleys or conveyors, counters, shelving or signs attached to walls or floors, and all electrical work, including but not limited to lighting fixtures of any type, wiring, conduit, EMT, transformers, distribution panels, bus ducts, raceways, outlets and disconnects, and furnishings and equipment which have been bolted, welded, nailed, screwed, glued or otherwise attached to any wall, floor, ceiling, roof, pavement or ground, or which have been directly wired to any portion of the electrical system or which have been plumbed to the water supply, drainage or venting systems serving the leased premises. LESSEE shall deliver the leased premises fully sanitized from any chemicals or other contaminants, broom clean, and in at least the same condition as they were at the commencement of this lease or any prior lease between the parties for the leased premises, or as they were modified during said term with LESSOR’s written consent, reasonable wear and tear only excepted. Any of LESSEE’s property that remains in the leased premises upon termination of the lease shall be deemed abandoned and shall be disposed of as LESSOR sees fit, with no liability to LESSEE for loss or damage thereto, and at the sole risk of LESSEE. LESSOR may remove and store any such property at LESSEE’s expense; retain same under LESSOR’s control; sell same at public or private sale (without notice) and apply the net proceeds of such sale to the payment of any sum due hereunder; or destroy same. In no case shall the leased premises be deemed surrendered to LESSOR until the termination date provided herein or such other date as may be specified in a written agreement between the parties, notwithstanding the delivery of any keys to LESSOR.

28.GENERAL. (a) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this lease shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision hereof.  (b) The obligations of this lease shall run with the land, and this lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that LESSOR and OWNER shall be liable for obligations occurring only while lessor or owner of the leased premises. (c) Any action or proceeding arising out of the subject matter of this lease shall be brought by LESSEE within one year after the cause of action has occurred and only in a court within the commonwealth of Massachusetts. (d) If LESSOR is acting under or as agent for any trust or corporation, the obligations of LESSOR shall be binding upon the trust or corporation, but not upon any trustee, officer, director, shareholder, or beneficiary of the trust or corporation individually. (e) If LESSOR is not the owner (OWNER) of the leased premises, LESSOR represents that OWNER has agreed to be bound by the terms of this lease unless LESSEE is in default hereof. (f) This lease is made and delivered in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, and shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws thereof. (g) This lease was the result of negotiations between parties of equal bargaining strength, and when executed by both parties shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties, superseding all prior oral and written agreements, representations, statements and negotiations relating in any way to the subject matter herein. This lease may not be extended or amended except by written agreement signed by both parties or as otherwise provided herein, and no other subsequent oral or written representation shall have any effect hereon. (h) Notwithstanding any other statements herein, LESSOR makes no warranty, express or implied, concerning the suitability of the leased premises for LESSEE’s intended use. (i) LESSEE agrees that if LESSOR does not deliver possession of the leased premises as herein provided for any reason, LESSOR shall not be liable for any damages to LESSEE for such failure, but LESSOR agrees to use reasonable efforts to deliver possession to LESSEE at the earliest possible date. A proportionate abatement of rent, excluding the cost of any amortized improvements to the leased premises, for such time as LESSEE may be deprived of possession of the leased premises, except where a delay in delivery is caused in any way by LESSEE, shall be LESSEE’s sole remedy. (j) Neither the submission of this lease form or any amendment hereof, nor the prospective acceptance of the security deposit and/or rent shall constitute a reservation of or option for the leased premises, or an offer to lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither this lease nor any amendment shall bind either party in any manner whatsoever unless and until it has been executed by both parties. (k) LESSEE shall not be entitled to exercise any option or receive LESSOR’s consent as provided for herein if LESSEE is at that time in default of any terms or conditions hereof. (l) Except as otherwise provided herein, neither LESSOR, nor OWNER, nor LESSEE shall be liable for any special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including 

7

 

but not limited to lost profits or loss of business, arising out of or in any manner connected with performance or nonperformance under this lease, even if any party has knowledge of the possibility of such damages. (m) The headings in this lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered part of the terms hereof. (n) No restriction, condition or other endorsement by LESSEE on any check, nor LESSOR’s deposit of any full or partial payment, shall bind LESSOR in any way or limit LESSOR’s rights under this lease. (o) LESSOR, LESSEE, OWNER and GUARANTOR hereby waive any and all rights to a jury trial in any proceeding in any way arising out of this lease. (p) LESSEE shall pay LESSOR for legal and administrative expenses incurred by LESSOR in connection with any consent requested by LESSEE or in enforcing any or all obligations of LESSEE under this lease. (q) LESSEE will conform to all rules and regulations now or hereafter made by LESSOR for parking, for the care, use, or alteration of the building, its facilities and approaches and for the administration of this lease, and will not permit any employee or visitor to violate this or any other covenant or obligation of LESSEE. (r) See attached Rider to Lease for additional provisions.

29.SECURITY AGREEMENT. LESSEE hereby grants LESSOR continuing interest in all existing or hereafter acquired property of LESSEE in any of LESSOR’s buildings to secure the payment of rent, the cost of leasehold improvements, and the performance of any other obligations of LESSEE under this lease or any subsequent lease between the parties. This provision shall survive termination of this lease, and shall not negate or replace any continuing security interest of LESSOR under any prior lease between the parties. Default in the payment or performance of any of LESSEE’s obligations under this lease or any subsequent lease shall be a default under this security agreement, and shall entitle LESSOR to immediately exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. LESSEE agrees to execute a UCC-1 Financing Statement and any other financing agreement as requested by LESSOR in connection with this security interest.

30.WAIVERS, ETC. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by LESSOR to or of any breach of any covenant, condition or duty of LESSEE shall be construed as a consent or waiver to or of any other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition or duty. If LESSEE is several persons, several corporations or a partnership, LESSEE’s obligations are joint or partnership and also several. Unless repugnant to the context, “LESSOR” and “LESSEE” mean the person or persons, natural or corporate, named above as LESSOR and as LESSEE respectively, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

31.AUTOMATIC FIVE-YEAR EXTENSIONS. This lease including all terms, conditions, escalations, etc. shall be automatically extended for additional successive periods of five years each unless LESSOR or LESSEE shall [can’t read the text] other party’s option not to so extend the lease. The time for serving such written notice shall be not more than 12 months or less than six months prior to the expiration of the then current lease period. Time is of the essence.

RIDER TO LEASE

The following additional provisions are incorporated into and made a part of the attached lease:

A.CONFLICTS. In the event of any conflict between any provision of this Rider to Lease and the attached lease, the provisions of this Rider shall govern.

B.SOUTH ESSEX SEWERAGE DISTRICT. With respect to leases at Cummings Center in Beverly (only), LESSEE shall fully comply with all regulations of the South Essex Sewerage District (SESD) now or hereafter in effect, including prompt filing with LESSOR of any documents required by SESD regulations, and LESSEE agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LESSOR and OWNER from any and all liability arising out of any noncompliance by LESSEE with such regulations.

C.ACTIVITY AND USE RESTRICTION. With respect to leases at Cummings Center in Beverly and 10 and 18 Commerce Way in Woburn (only), and except as provided below, the following activities and uses are expressly prohibited at the property of which the leased premises are a part: residential uses (except for facilities for adult congregate care or assisted living, senior housing, nursing home uses and other adult residential facilities in certain designated areas of the property); child care, day care, or public or private elementary or secondary schools; a public park, playground or playing field, or other activities involving more than casual contact with the ground; cultivation out-of-doors of fruits and vegetables destined for human consumption; and fishing or swimming in the ponds and other waterways on or adjacent to the property. In addition, implementation of a health and safety plan is required for construction, utilities maintenance and other intrusive activities which are likely to involve extensive exposure to or contact with subsurface soils at the property. Notices of Activity and Use Limitation providing further information have been recorded at the Essex South Registry of Deeds and the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds, respectively, as well as recorded amendments authorizing both child care and a public elementary school in specific locations at Cummings Center.

D.REMEDIES. Notwithstanding Section 20 above, in the event the entire balance of rent due under this lease becomes due and payable as liquidated damages, said amount shall be discounted to its net present value as of the date of LESSOR’S notice of default, using the published prime rate then in effect. Furthermore, LESSEE’S covenants under this lease shall be independent of LESSOR’S covenants, and LESSOR’S failure to perform any of its covenants under this lease, including a covenant constituting a significant inducement to LESSEE to enter into this lease, shall not excuse the payment of rent or any other charges by LESSEE or allow LESSEE to terminate this lease.

E.PARKING. LESSEE shall be entitled to use, in common with others, a proportionate share of the total number of common area parking spaces provided for the building (based on square footage leased by LESSEE as compared with the total leasable square footage of the building). The number of spaces used by LESSEE’S employees, agents and invitees shall not at any time exceed LESSEE’S proportionate share of the total spaces for the building. For purposes of determining LESSEE’S compliance with this paragraph at any time, the number of spaces used by LESSEE shall be presumed to equal the number of persons who are then present at the leased premises.

F.RECORDING AND SECURITY. Although LESSOR may choose at any time to record activities at the building with unmonitored remote television cameras, LESSEE acknowledges and agrees that, as provided in Section 15 above, LESSOR is not thereby or in any other way providing any security service for LESSEE or its employees, agents, invitees, contractors and representatives, and that LESSOR has made no representations whatsoever, written or oral, concerning the safety of the leased premises or the presence, effectiveness or operability of any security devices or security measures, or the safety or security of LESSEE, its employees, agents, invitees, callers, contractors and representatives, or LESSEE’S property, against the criminal or wrongful acts of third parties. Additionally, LESSEE accepts full responsibility for protecting the persons and property of LESSEE and those of its employees, agents, invitees, callers, contractors and representatives, and (acknowledging that security devices or measures may fail or be thwarted by criminals, by other third parties or by electrical or mechanical malfunction), agrees not to rely on any such devices or measures, and to protect itself, its property, and its employees, agents, invitees, callers, contractors and representatives as if such devices or measures did not exist.

G.ELECTRIC SERVICE. With respect to leases at Cummings Center in Beverly (only), LESSEE agrees that in the event its average electricity use at the leased premises is expected to exceed 200 kW of demand per month during the term of this lease, it will not self-generate or co-generate at the leased premises during the term of this lease or any extension(s) hereof.

H.* LESSOR, at LESSOR’S cost, shall modify the leased premises according to a mutually agreed upon plan attached hereto before or about the time LESSEE takes possession of the leased premises.

I.* Notwithstanding monthly rent as provided in Section 1 above, LESSEE may deduct $356.50 per month from each monthly rental payment due from April 1, 2003 through March 30, 2004 (only), provided LESSOR receives each such monthly payment on or before the first day of the month for which that rent is due and LESSEE is not otherwise in default of the lease or in arrears of any rent or invoice payments. Time is of the essence.

J.* At any one time during the initial term of this lease, provided LESSEE is not then in default of this lease or in arrears of any rent or invoice payments, LESSEE shall have the option to lease larger similar space of approximately 3,000 square feet. LESSEE shall give LESSOR written notice of such requirement for larger space, and shall then execute LESSOR’S then current standard form lease or amendment to lease for such larger space in the same or other buildings of LESSOR at LESSOR’S then current published rates for a term equivalent to the initial term of this lease within three business days of LESSOR’S written notice to LESSEE that said larger space will be available. If LESSOR does not offer such larger similar space within six months after receipt of written notice from LESSEE, then LESSEE shall have the option within 30 days thereafter to terminate the unexpired portion of this lease, without penalty, by serving LESSOR with 30 days written notice to that effect. Cancellation of the lease shall be LESSEE’S exclusive remedy for any failure by LESSOR to offer such larger similar space or any breach by LESSOR of the provisions of this paragraph. Time is of the essence.

K.* With reference to Section 25 above, no hazardous materials or hazardous wastes shall be used, processed, stored, or disposed of in any manner or form within the leased premises or any extension thereof in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law, rule or regulation. LESSEE shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify and hold LESSOR harmless from any and all liability, damage or personal injury associated with any use, processing, storage, or disposal of such materials.

L.LESSEE warrants and represents that it does not intend to use, process, store or dispose of any hazardous materials, hazardous substances or chemicals at the leased premises except those described in the attached (“Exhibit A”), and further that the use, processing, storage or disposal of the chemicals in the quantities described in Exhibit A shall not create any chemical, biological or other contamination at the leased premises. LESSEE shall warrant to LESSOR in writing semiannually on or before each January 1 and July 1 that its procedures for storage and handling of chemicals have not changed in any way and that the quantities have not increased. If, however, the quantities of chemicals or the procedures for storage or handling of chemicals at the leased premises change in any way from the quantities or procedures set forth in Exhibit A such that LESSOR shall reasonably determine in good faith, that the risk of contamination of the leased premises or violation of law by LESSEE has been materially increased, then the following Paragraphs M and N shall apply.

M.Prior to the termination date of the lease, LESSEE, at LESSEE’S sole expense, shall engage an independent and certified industrial hygienist (“the CIH”) to prepare a decontamination work plan for the leased premises in accordance with all CIH professional standards and all applicable laws to address all conditions arising out of LESSEE’S tenancy. LESSEE shall submit said plan to LESSOR for LESSOR’S review and consent. LESSEE shall then complete all measures specified in said plan, including testing and cleaning of all surfaces, HVAC equipment, ductwork, and other building components recommended therein. The CIH shall certify that as of the termination date of the lease, the entire leased premises and any extension thereof used in any way by LESSEE is free from any harmful chemical, biological, radioactive or other contamination arising out of LESSEE’S tenancy, in accordance with all applicable CIH professional standards and all applicable laws. Said certification shall confirm the clean condition of all HVAC equipment, ductwork, plumbing fixtures, drains, tanks, mechanical systems, cabinetry, casework, pH adjustment tanks, acid neutralization equipment, all other surfaces, and the indoor air quality at the leased premises, and shall specify that there are no restrictions on future use and occupation by others. Time is of the essence. (This paragraph will apply in the event the quantities of chemicals or the procedures for storage or handling of chemicals at the leased premises change in any way from the quantities or procedures set forth in Exhibit A such that LESSOR has reasonably determined that the risk of contamination of the leased premises or violation of law by LESSEE has been materially increased in accordance with Paragraph L above.)

N.LESSEE shall provide LESSOR with a standard performance bond, financial guaranty bond or letter of credit in an amount not less than $25,000, and in a form satisfactory to LESSOR’S counsel, to secure LESSEE’S performance of its obligations under Paragraph M above, within 30 days after LESSOR’S written notice to LESSEE to that effect. Time is of the essence. (This paragraph will apply in the event the quantities of chemicals or the procedures for storage or handling of chemicals at the leased premises change in any way from the quantities or procedures set forth in Exhibit A such that LESSOR has reasonably determined that the risk of contamination of the leased premises or violation of law by LESSEE has been materially increased in accordance with Paragraph L above.)

O.LESSEE’S maintenance obligations as provided in Section 10 above shall specifically include, without limitation, semiannual inspections, and repair and replacement as needed, of all acid neutralization, pH adjustment and other wastewater treatment tanks and equipment, and drain lines into which said tanks and equipment discharge; backflow preventers; air filters; and all other exhaust and intake fan components, including belts. LESSEE shall be responsible for ail maintenance and repairs of said equipment, both routine and otherwise, including semiannual (or more frequent if necessary) cleaning and replenishment of neutralizing materials in pH adjustment tanks. LESSEE acknowledges and agrees that the plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems provided and maintained by LESSOR are intended and sized only for office use, and any maintenance or additional equipment necessitated by LESSEE’S use of and operation at the leased premises shall be at LESSEE’S sole expense. LESSEE agrees that all wastewater discharged from the leased premises shall be neutralized to a pH of 7.0±, or, in the case of deionized water, shall be appropriately diluted or treated, and shall fully comply with all applicable state and local statutes, codes, regulations and/or ordinances.

P.* LESSEE shall notify LESSOR in writing upon LESSOR’s request and 30 days prior to the expiration of the lease term of LESSEE’S compliance with its inspection and maintenance obligations as stated above.

Q.* The preceding two paragraphs regarding LESSEE’s maintenance responsibility are a key consideration of this lease.

R.LESSEE acknowledges and agrees that certain non-building standard HVAC and other equipment shall be used to serve the leased premises in common with the other facilities at 25-K Olympia Avenue. LESSEE shall pay LESSOR a proportionate share of any fees and charges relating to use of such equipment.

*remain

	
3.
	
LESSEE acknowledges that, notwithstanding Section 26 of Lease Extension #3 (“LE3”), LESSOR shall apply the $30,300 cash security deposit toward the $30,969 of outstanding charges provided for in Additional Work Authorizations numbered 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 attached hereto. LESSEE further acknowledges that the remaining $669 balance of said outstanding charges, together with the $150,000 outstanding balance of the Non-Standard Charges provided for in Section 10 of LE3 (collectively, the “Amortized Charges”), have been incorporated into the base rent set forth in Section 1 above.

	
4.
	
The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Completion Date provided for in Section 8 of LE3 shall be February 1, 2010, and (b) notwithstanding Section 1 of LE3, the current lease expiration date is January 30, 2015. 

	
5.
	
LESSEE acknowledges that LESSOR has remeasured Suite 6990 in accordance with Section 11 of LE3 and that effective February 1, 2010, (a) the size of Suite 6990 shall be decreased to approximately 12,460 square feet (including 15.6% common area), and (b) the size of the area attributable to the monthly discount provided for in Section 25 of LE3 shall be decreased to 1,593 square feet.

On the first day of the applicable calendar month, LESSEE shall pay (a) the then-current monthly rent due less $3,206.28, and (b) the Pay-Off Amount by bank check, certified check, cash or wire transfer, and otherwise in full accordance with Section 1 of the lease.

Time is of the essence.

This amendment shall not bind any party in any manner whatsoever until it has been executed by all parties. All other terms of the lease shall continue to apply, and to the extent any inconsistency exists between this amendment and the lease, including any prior amendments, the terms herein shall control and supersede any earlier, provisions.

AMENDMENT TO LEASE # 7

In connection with a lease in effect between the parties at 400 TradeCenter, Suite 6990 and 100 TradeCenter, Suite P-650, Woburn, Massachusetts (“premises” or “leased premises”), fully executed on April 9, 2003 and currently terminating on January 30, 2015, and in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived herefrom, Cummings Properties, LLC, LESSOR, and AdvanDx, Inc., LESSEE, hereby agree to amend said lease, including its terms, conditions, covenants, and obligations (“terms”), as follows:

	
1.
	
LESSEE acknowledges and agrees that LESSEE has not paid to LESSOR any of the $48,000 security deposit increase provided for in Section 10 of the Consent and Waiver by and among LESSOR, LESSEE, and Square 1 Bank.  Accordingly, LESSOR is currently holding a cash security deposit in the amount of $100,000.

	
2.
	
Section 24 of Lease Extension #3 and Section 10 of said Consent and Waiver are hereby deleted and the following shall now apply.  The security deposit is hereby increased by $24,000 from $100,000 to a new total of $124,000.  LESSEE shall pay this increase upon LESSEE’S execution of this amendment.

	
3.
	
In lieu of the $124,000 cash security deposit provided for in Section 2 above and in Section 2 of the lease, LESSEE may provide to LESSOR and shall thereafter maintain throughout the entire lease term an Irrevocable Letter of Credit negotiable on sight in the amount of $124,000, provided said Letter of Credit is issued by a commercial bank acceptable to LESSOR; provides for payment to LESSOR immediately and on sight upon LESSOR’S delivery to the bank of a statement that the drawing represents amounts due to LESSOR from LESSEE under the lease or is otherwise permitted under the lease; terminates no earlier than two months after the termination of the lease; and is otherwise in a form acceptable to counsel for LESSOR.  In addition, LESSOR shall be entitled to draw on said Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds as a cash security deposit presentation of a statement that LESSOR feels insecure about the continues solvency of the issuing bank.  Either the Letter of Credit or the above-described cash security deposit increase shall be delivered to LESSOR upon LESSEE’S execution of this amendment.  If the cash security deposit is fully paid, LESSOR shall then refund it to LESSEE upon delivery to LESSOR of a Letter of Credit that fully complies with this section.  LESSEE shall pay LESSOR for all legal and administrative expenses incurred by LESSOR in connection with this Letter of Credit.

This amendment shall not bind any party in any manner whatsoever until it has been executed by all parties.  All other terms of the lease shall continue to apply, and to the extent any inconsistency exists between this amendment and the lease, including any prior amendments, the terms herein shall control and supersede any earlier provisions.

(iv) Non-Managing Shareholder Approval of CEO Nominees. If any Managing Shareholder Chief Executive Officer ceases
to serve in such capacity, then any individual nominated to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company by either the departing Managing Shareholder Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Executive Officer Nominating Committee shall be subject to
the approval of the Non-Managing Shareholder, and thereafter, to the approval of the Supervisory Board. 
 Section 2.2 Supervisory Board
Committees. The Company shall procure that the Supervisory Board shall have an audit committee and a compensation committee. The Company and the Investors agree that each of the Supervisory Board Committees shall consist of at
least three (3) members appointed by the Supervisory Board who shall make proposals and recommendations by an absolute majority of the votes cast with the chairman holding the tie-breaking vote. The Supervisory Board shall designate the chair
and members of each Supervisory Board Committee. The Company shall procure that the authorities of Supervisory Board Committees (other than the compensation committee pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan) shall be limited to making
proposals and recommendations to the Supervisory Board and shall not include the right to adopt resolutions on behalf of the Supervisory Board. The Company shall procure that the audit committee of the Supervisory Board shall not exceed three (3)
Supervisory Directors, at least two of whom shall be Independent Supervisory Directors nominated by the Managing Shareholders. 
 Section
2.3 Rules of Procedure. The Parties will cause the Management Board to adopt the Management Board Rules and the Supervisory Board to adopt the Supervisory Board Rules substantially as attached hereto as Annexes C and D. The Management
Board Rules shall include the Rules of Procedure substantially attached hereto as Annex C (as amended from time to time). The Supervisory Board may, from time to time, amend the Rules of Procedure to the extent any such amendment would not be
prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, including Article 7 and, in that case, the Shareholders and the Company shall procure that the Management Board Rules shall be amended accordingly. 

Section 2.4 Bad Leaver Call. In case a Managing Shareholder is removed or not reappointed as a Managing Director of the Company in
each case with Reasonable Cause (a “Bad Leaver”), the Non-Managing Shareholder (and/or an affiliate thereof designated by the Non-Managing Shareholder), subject to the terms of this Section 2.4, shall have the right to purchase, and
the Bad Leaver shall be obligated to sell, all, but not less than all, of the Shares and shares in the Operating Company (or any successor thereof), respectively, (“Option Shares”) owned by the Bad Leaver at that time (“Bad
Leaver Call”), which right shall be exercisable by delivery to the Bad Leaver (with a copy to the Company) of a written notice of the Non- 

  
 15 

 
Managing Shareholder’s intent to consummate such transaction (“Bad Leaver Call Notice”), at any time during the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the close of the day
following removal or non-reappointment for Reasonable Cause. The Bad Leaver may not Transfer his Option Shares during the period between delivery of the Bad Leaver Call Notice and the applicable Leaver Closing Date, and the Company shall not record,
acknowledge or cooperate with any Transfer inconsistent with this Section 2.4.
 Section 2.5 Good Leaver Put/Withdrawal. In case
(x) the general meeting of shareholders resolves to remove a Managing Shareholder as a Managing Director of the Company without Reasonable Cause and such Managing Shareholder is entitled to serve as a Managing Director hereunder, without such
Managing Shareholder qualifying as a Bad Leaver or (y) the supervisory board revokes the title of chief executive officer from a Managing Shareholder then serving as chief executive officer without either (i) Reasonable Cause or (ii) the consent of
another Managing Shareholder, and the Managing Shareholder terminates his services as Managing Director of the Company within thirty (30) days of the revocation of the chief executive officer title, (a “Good Leaver”), such Managing
Shareholder shall have the right to sell to the Non-Managing Shareholder, and the Non-Managing Shareholder shall be obligated to purchase, all, but not less than all, of the Option Shares owned by such Managing Shareholder at that time
(“Good Leaver Put”), which right shall be exercisable by delivery from the relevant Managing Shareholder to the Non-Managing Shareholder of a written notice of such Managing Shareholder’s intent to consummate such transaction
(“Good Leaver Put Notice”), at any time during the ninety (90)-day period beginning on, in the case of (x), the day on which the Company’s shareholders meeting resolved to withdraw the relevant Managing Shareholder as a
Managing Director or in the case of (y), the date the Managing Shareholder terminates his service as a Managing Director of the Company. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if a fact or circumstance exists which would be reasonably likely to
result in the occurrence of any of the events in clauses (a) through (g) in the definition of Reasonable Cause, and the Non-Managing Shareholder causes the removal of a Managing Shareholder as Managing Director or, if applicable, chief executive
officer (notwithstanding the absence of Reasonable Cause at the time of removal), the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall not apply to such Managing Shareholder and no Good Leaver Put shall be triggered by such removal. 

Section 2.6 Closing of Put/Call Transactions. Each purchase and sale of Option Shares under Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 (other than as
provided in Section 2.7) shall be consummated at a closing that is (x) for purchases or sales settled cash less than $10 million, ten (10) Business Days following the Bad Leaver Call Notice or the Good Leaver Put Notice, as applicable, (y) for
purchases or sales settled in cash equal to or greater than $10 million and less than $100 million, thirty (30) days following the Bad Leaver Call Notice or the Good Leaver Put Notice as applicable, and (z) for purchases and sales settled in cash
equal to or in excess of $100 million, ninety (90) days following the Bad Leaver Call Notice or the Good Leaver Put Notice as applicable, except that in the case of clauses (x), (y) and (z), if the approval of any Governmental Authority is imposed
by or required under any applicable Law with respect to the consummation of a purchase and sale of shares under Section 2.6, the closing shall be deferred to a date not later than three (3) Business Days after the last such approval shall have been
obtained or occurred (the applicable dates the “Leaver Closing Date”). If the Option Shares also comprise shares in the Operating Company the Managing Shareholders will convert such Shares without undue delay into Class B
Shares in the Company. The price to be paid for each Option Share after conversion, if applicable, to be purchased in accordance with the Bad Leaver Call or the Good Leaver Put shall be equal to the volume-weighted average closing price of a
Class A Share as obtained from Bloomberg L.P. over the fifteen trading days prior to the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Leaver Closing Date. At the Leaver Closing Date, the Parties shall enter into a purchase and
transfer agreement in relation to the Option Shares to be sold substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex E. The applicable Managing Shareholder, the Non-Managing Shareholder and the Company shall give all declarations and take all
actions necessary or beneficial for implementing the sale and transfer of Option Shares under Section 2.4 and Section 2.5.

 Section 2.7 Alternative Consideration.

(a) The Non-Managing Shareholder may, in its sole discretion, decide to pay some of the consideration it owes under a share purchase and
transfer agreement entered into pursuant to Section 2.4 and Section 2.5, in the form of a number of shares of common stock of Expedia, Inc. as listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (ticker symbol: EXPE) (“EXPE Stock”); provided,
that, before the Non-Managing Shareholder may offer a consideration in EXPE Stock, the Non-Managing Shareholder has to offer a cash consideration of at least (x) $104,100,000 in case of Shareholder 1, (y) $77,900,000 in case of Shareholder 2 and (z)
$18,100,000 in case of Shareholder 3. The value of each share of EXPE Stock shall, for the purpose of determining the number of shares of EXPE Stock to be transferred as consideration, be equal to the closing price of a share of EXPE Stock as
obtained from Bloomberg L.P. on the last trading day prior to the applicable Leaver Closing Date. In such event, each Managing Shareholder shall use reasonable efforts to provide such attestations to the Non-Managing Shareholder as are required to
determine whether or not such Managing Shareholder is an accredited investor or non-U.S. Person under the Securities Act. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 2.7(c) and Section 2.7(d), on or prior to the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Bad Leaver Call Notice or the Good Leaver Put Notice (unless the Parent Guarantor is not eligible to register EXPE Stock for resale on Form S-3), the
Parent Guarantor shall cause to be filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 thereunder or any similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC and
permitting sales in ordinary course brokerage or dealer transactions not involving any underwritten public offering, covering the resale of all EXPE Stock previously issued to the Managing Shareholders. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parent Guarantor may, by written notice to the Managing Shareholders,
suspend sales under any Registration Statement after the effective date thereof and require that the Managing Shareholders immediately cease the sale of shares of the Managing Shareholder’s EXPE Stock pursuant thereto, or defer the filing of
any Registration Statement if the board of directors of the Parent Guarantor determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the Parent Guarantor (other than as
relating solely to the price of the EXPE Stock) to file or maintain a Registration Statement at such time or (B) it is in the best interests of the Parent Guarantor to suspend sales under such Registration Statement at such time. Upon receipt of
such notice, each Managing Shareholder shall immediately discontinue any sales of EXPE Stock pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Managing Shareholder is advised in writing by the Parent Guarantor that the current Prospectus or amended
Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Guarantor’s right to suspend sales under this Section 2.7 shall not be exercised: (i) beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of the
Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Parent Guarantor or (ii) for a period of no more than twenty (20) Trading Days at a time or more than three (3) times in any
twelve-month period. Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 2.7, the Parent Guarantor shall take all necessary actions (including filing any required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the
applicable Registration Statement and the ability of the Managing Shareholders to resell their EXPE Stock pursuant to such effective Registration Statement. 

  
 17 

 (d) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Parent Guarantor to use
reasonable best efforts to file the registration pursuant to this Section 2.7 with respect to the EXPE Stock of any particular Managing Shareholder that such Managing Shareholder shall (i) furnish to the Parent Guarantor a selling stockholder
questionnaire in the form reasonably required in connection with the registration of such EXPE Stock by the Parent Guarantor (the “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) and such other information regarding itself, the EXPE Stock and other
Shares held by it and the intended method of disposition of the EXPE Stock held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such EXPE Stock and (ii) complete and execute such other documents in connection with such
registration as the Non-Managing Shareholder may reasonably request.

Section 4.2 Confidentiality.

(a) Except as provided herein, each Party shall keep the confidential information exchanged during the term of this Agreement, in particular
about customers and/or technology or other business matters related to the Parties (“Confidential Information”), confidential in the same manner that it keeps its own confidential information confidential. Furthermore, to the
extent Confidential Information exchanged during the term of this Agreement relates to customers and/or technology, the receiving Party shall use it only for the purpose of this Agreement, or for the purpose for which it was shared, and shall not
pass it on to its affiliates without prior consent of the disclosing Party. 

  
 20 

 (b) Confidential Information is, in particular, not information that: 

(i) became publicly known without a breach of this Agreement; and/or 

(ii) a Party can demonstrate it received from a third party without a breach of a confidentiality obligation; and/or 

(iii) a Party can demonstrate it already had, without a breach of a confidentiality obligation, prior to the disclosure of such
information under this Agreement.

understand that the business partners, therefore, have a legitimate interest to keep the conditions and terms of the respective agreements with such business partners strictly confidential vis-à-vis the Non-Managing Shareholder. The
Non-Managing Shareholder acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Managing Directors nor the Supervisory Directors will provide it with Confidential Information on business partners and will support the Company in communicating to its customers
and business partners that such Confidential Information is kept confidential. This Section 4.2(d) shall prevail over Section 4.2(a).

 ARTICLE 5 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

Section 5.1 Demand Registration Rights.

(a) Non-Managing Shareholder Registration Rights. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1, at any time and from time to time
after the date of this Agreement, the Non-Managing Shareholder and/or its designated affiliate may make up to four (4) written demands, but no more than one (1) such demand in any one hundred eighty (180)-day period (each, a “Non-Managing
Shareholder Registration Demand”) to the Company requiring the Company to use its reasonable best efforts to register, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, all of the Non-Managing Shareholder’s Registrable
Securities or a part of the Non-Managing Shareholder’s Registrable Securities for which the anticipated proceeds from the sale of such Registrable Securities are in excess of $25 million (inclusive of expected underwriting discounts and
commissions). All Non-Managing Shareholder Registration Demands made pursuant to this Section 5.1 will specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered, the intended methods of disposition thereof (including whether the
offering is to be an Underwritten Offering) and the registration procedures to be undertaken by the Company in connection therewith (a “Demand Notice”). 

(b) Managing Shareholder Registration Rights. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1, at any time and from time to time
after the date of this Agreement, Managing Shareholders (acting collectively) may make up to four (4) written demands, but no more than one (1) such demand in any one hundred eighty (180)-day period (each, a “Managing Shareholder
Registration Demand”) to the Company requiring the Company to use its reasonable best efforts to the Company to register, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, all of the Registrable Securities of one or more of
the Managing Shareholders or a part of the Registrable Securities of one or more of the Managing Shareholders for which the anticipated proceeds from the sale of such Registrable Securities are in excess of $25 million (inclusive of expected
underwriting discounts and commissions). All Managing Shareholder Registration Demands made pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be pursuant to a Demand Notice. 

(c) Shelf Registration Demands.

(i) Notwithstanding Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b), at any time that the Company shall be eligible to file a shelf registration
statement (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor form under any successor rule, as applicable, with respect to the Registrable Securities of a Shareholder, but
such Shelf Registration Statement is not effective, any Investor may demand that a Shelf Registration Statement be filed (by delivery of a Demand Notice), and such request shall be treated by the Company as an Investor Registration Demand, and such
Shelf Registration Statement shall be treated as a Registration Statement, under the terms of this Agreement, but such demand shall not reduce the number of applicable Investor Registration Demands available to the applicable Investor under Sections
5.1(a) and 5.1(b). 

  
 22 

 (ii) At any time a Shelf Registration Statement shall be effective and remains
effective, each Investor shall be permitted to effect an unlimited number of (A) non-Underwritten Offerings or (B) shelf take-downs off the Shelf Registration Statement (which may be Underwritten Offerings), including any underwritten “block
trades,” in each case, without notice to, or inclusion of, any other Investor’s Registrable Securities, and in each case limited to their respective Registrable Securities, it being understood that the Company’s obligations in Section
5.1(d) shall in no way be reduced in such case. 
 (d) Registration Obligations and Procedures. 

(i) Subject to the remaining provisions in this Section 5.1(d), promptly upon receipt of any such Demand Notice, the Company
will file the applicable Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable and will use its best efforts to, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Demand Notice, effect within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of such
Registration Statement the registration under the Securities Act (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities Laws and appropriate compliance with the applicable
regulations promulgated under the Securities Act) of Shares that the Company has been so required to register. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, but subject to Section 5.1(d)(ii) and (iii), the Company shall have no obligation to effect more
than two (2) registrations pursuant to any Investor Registration Demand in any one hundred eighty (180)-day period.
 (ii)
Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), in the event that an Investor withdraws an Investor Registration Demand prior to (A) in the case of a registration on a Form F-3 Registration Statement or any similar short-form
registration statement available for use under the Securities Act, the filing of the preliminary prospectus in respect of such offering, or (B) in the case of a registration on any other form available for use under the Securities Act, including a
Form F-1 Registration Statement, prior to the filing of the initial registration statement in respect of such offering, then, in each case, upon such withdrawal, such request for registration shall not be considered an Investor Registration Demand
and shall not reduce the number of applicable Investor Registration Demands available to the applicable Investor.
 (iii) If
the Company receives an Investor Registration Demand and the Company furnishes to the Investor making such demand a copy of a resolution of the Supervisory Board certified by the secretary of the Company stating that in the good-faith judgment
of a majority of the Independent Supervisory Directors (including an Independent Supervisory Director who has been nominated by the Managing Shareholders) it would be materially adverse to the Company for a Registration Statement to be filed or
be effective on or before the date such filing or effectiveness would otherwise be required hereunder, the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of, or suspend the effectiveness or availability of, a Registration Statement, for a period
of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the demand for such registration from the Non-Managing Shareholder or the Managing Shareholders. The Company shall not be permitted to provide such notice more than three (3) times in any three
hundred sixty (360)-day period. If the Company shall so postpone the filing or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Investor may withdraw the applicable 

  
 23 

 
Investor Registration Demand by so advising the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of postponement or suspension. In the event that an Investor withdraws
the applicable Investor Registration Demand in the manner provided in the preceding sentence, such request for registration shall not be considered an Investor Registration Demand and shall not reduce the number of applicable Investor Registration
Demands available to the applicable Investor. In addition, if the Company receives an Investor Registration Demand and the Company is then in the process of preparing to engage in a public offering, the Company shall inform the notifying
Investor of the Company’s intent to engage in a public offering and may require such Investor to withdraw such Investor Registration Demand, as the case may be, for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days so that the Company may
complete its public offering. In the event that the Company ceases to pursue such public offering, it shall promptly inform the Non-Managing Shareholder or the Managing Shareholders, as applicable, and such Investor shall be permitted to submit
a new Investor Registration Demand. For the avoidance of doubt, each Investor shall have the right to participate in the Company’s public offering of Shares as provided in Section 5.2 pro rata based on its Percentage Interest. 

(iv) Registrations under this Section 5.1 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC (A) as shall be selected by
the Company and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Non-Managing Shareholder or the Managing Shareholders, as applicable, and (B) as shall permit the disposition of such shares in accordance with the intended method or methods of
disposition specified in the Demand Notice; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall provide each Shareholder and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Registration Statement and each prospectus
included therein (and each amendment or supplement thereto) prior to filing with the SEC, and (ii) the Company shall notify each Shareholder and its counsel of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, including the receipt by the Company of any notice or objection of the SEC to the use of a Shelf Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto and take all reasonable action required to prevent the entry of such stop order or similar notice or to remove it if entered. If, in connection with any registration under this Section 5.1 that is proposed by
the Company to be on Form F-3 or any successor form, the managing underwriter, if any, shall advise the Company in writing that in its opinion the use of another permitted form is of material importance to the success of the offering, then such
registration shall be on such other permitted form. 
 (v) Subject to Section 5.1(d)(iii), the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to keep any Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement filed in response to any Investor Registration Demand effective for as long as is necessary for the Shareholder to dispose of the covered securities. The
Company shall notify the Shareholder upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of material fact
or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company shall

  
 24 

 
promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (unless the Company makes the election provided in Section 5.1(d)(iii)). 

(vi) In the case of an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Non-Managing Shareholder Registration Demand, the
Non-Managing Shareholder shall select the underwriters, provided that the managing underwriter shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm. The Non-Managing Shareholder shall determine the pricing of the Registrable
Securities offered pursuant to any such Registration Statement in connection with a Non-Managing Shareholder Registration Demand, the applicable underwriting discount and other financial terms (including the material terms of the applicable
underwriting agreement) and determine the timing of any such registration and sale, subject to this Section 5.1(d), and the Non-Managing Shareholder shall be solely responsible for all such discounts and fees payable to such underwriters in such
Underwritten Offering (except with respect to any Shares sold by another Shareholder or the Company). 
 (vii) In the case of
an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Managing Shareholder Registration Demand, the Managing Shareholder Representative shall select the underwriters; provided that the managing underwriter shall be a nationally recognized investment
banking firm. The Managing Shareholder Representative shall determine the pricing of the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to any such Registration Statement in connection with a Managing Shareholder Registration Demand, the applicable
underwriting discount and other financial terms (including the material terms of the applicable underwriting agreement) and determine the timing of any such registration and sale, subject to this Section 5.1(d), and the applicable Managing
Shareholders shall be solely responsible for all such discounts and fees payable to such underwriters in such Underwritten Offering (except with respect to any Shares sold by another Shareholder or the Company). 

Section 5.2 Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a) Piggyback Rights. Subject to Section 5.2(d), if the Company at any time proposes to register any Shares for its own account (a
“Company Registration”) or for the account of any shareholder of the Company possessing demand rights (including in connection with an Investor Registration Demand) (an “Investor Registration”) under the Securities
Act by registration on Form F-1 or Form F-3 or any successor or similar form(s) (except registrations on any such Form or similar form(s) solely for registration of securities in connection with an employee benefit plan, a dividend reinvestment plan
or a merger or consolidation, or incidental to a transaction that is not a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, including a resale under Rule 144A thereunder), it will at such time give prompt written notice
to any Shareholder owning Registrable Securities of its intention to do so, including the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement and, if known, the number of Shares to be included in such Registration Statement, and of the
Shareholder’s rights under this Section 5.2. Upon the written request of an Investor (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable 

  
 25 

 
Securities intended to be disposed of by such Investor and such other information as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Shares), made as promptly as practicable and in any
event within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of any such notice (five (5) days if the Company states in such written notice or gives telephonic notice to such Investor, with written confirmation to follow promptly thereafter, stating that (i)
such registration will be on Form F-1 or Form F-3 and (ii) such shorter period of time is required because of a planned filing date), the Company, subject to Section 5.2(c), shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration
under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by the Investors; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities
and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, a majority of the Independent Supervisory Directors (including an Independent Supervisory Directors who has been nominated by the Managing
Shareholders) in its good-faith judgment shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of any securities in connection with a Company Registration or an Investor Registration, the Supervisory Board shall give written
notice of such determination to the Investors requesting registration under this Section 5.2 (which such Investors will hold in strict confidence) and (i) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its
obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from any obligation of the Company to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay
registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. 

(b) Investor Withdrawal. Each Shareholder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities
in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5.2 at any time prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, however, that
in the case of an Underwritten Offering, a Shareholder requesting that its shares be included may subsequently withdraw its shares only if the anticipated price per share falls below the low end of the range set forth in the latest preliminary
prospectus. 
 (c) Company Registration Underwriters’ Cutback. In the case of a Company Registration, if the
managing underwriter of any Underwritten Offering shall inform the Company by letter of its belief that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Section 5.2, when added to the number of
other securities to be offered in such registration by the Company, would materially adversely impact the purchase price obtained for the securities to be included or the total proceeds contemplated in such offering, then the Company shall include
in such registration, to the extent of the total number of securities that the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering without so materially adversely affecting such offering (the “Section 5.2(c)
Sale Number”), securities in the following priority: 
 (i) First, all Shares or securities convertible into, or
exchangeable or exercisable for, Shares that the Company proposes to register for its own account (the “Company Securities”); and 

  
 26 

 (ii) Second, to the extent that the number of Company Securities to be included
is less than the Section 5.2(c) Sale Number, the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the shareholders of the Company exercising registration rights (pursuant to this Agreement or another written agreement); the securities requested to
be included pursuant to this Section 5.2(c)(ii) shall be included on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the shareholders of the Company exercising registration rights. 

(d) Investor Registration Underwriters’ Cutback. In the case of an Investor Registration, if the managing
underwriter of any Underwritten Offering shall inform the Company by letter of its belief that the number of Shares and Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration would materially adversely impact the purchase price
obtained for the securities to be included or the total proceeds contemplated in such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the total number of securities that the Company is so advised can be sold in (or
during the time of) such offering without so materially adversely affecting such offering (subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5.2(d), the “Section 5.2(d) Sale Number”), securities in the following priority: 

(i) First, the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Persons exercising demand rights in connection with such
Investor Registration (it being understood that Shareholders may jointly exercise demand rights with such Registrable Securities being allocated among them pro rata); and 

(ii) Second, to the extent that the number of securities to be included in the registration pursuant to Section 5.2(d)(i) is
less than the Section 5.2(d) Sale Number, the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the shareholders of the Company exercising registration rights (including Investors exercising piggyback rights pursuant to this Section 5.2 or
otherwise); the securities requested to be included pursuant to this Section 5.2(d)(ii) shall be included on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the shareholders of the Company exercising
registration rights. 
 (e) Participation in Underwritten Offerings. 

(i) Any participation by the Shareholders in a Company Registration shall be in accordance with the plan of distribution of the
Company (subject, in the case of an Investor Registration pursuant to an Investor Registration Demand, to the rights of the Non-Managing Shareholder, or the Managing Shareholders, as applicable, in Section 5.1). Except as provided in Sections
5.1(d)(vi) and (vii), in all Underwritten Offerings, the Company shall have sole discretion to select the underwriters. 

(ii) In connection with any proposed registered offering of securities of the Company in which any Investor has the right to
include Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article 5, such Investor agrees (A) to supply any information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement and/or any other documents relating to
such registered offering and (B) to execute and deliver any agreements and instruments being executed by all holders on substantially the same 

  
 27 

 
terms reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate such registered offering, including, without limitation, underwriting agreements, custody agreements, lock-ups, “hold back”
agreements pursuant to which such Investor agrees not to sell or purchase any securities of the Company for the same period of time following the registered offering as is agreed to by the other participating holders, powers of attorney and
questionnaires. The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other actions as are reasonably required to effect such registered offering and facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities, including (i) to furnish customary opinions of counsel representing the Company addressed to the underwriters, if any, in customary form, scope and substance, (ii) to provide a comfort letter from the
independent auditors of the Company addressed to the underwriters, if any, in customary form, scope and substance, and (iii) if necessary and requested by an Investor including Registrable Securities in the offering, the reasonable participation of
Company management in roadshows in manner and for a duration customary for offerings of such size. 
 (iii) If the Company
requests that the Investors take any of the actions referred to in paragraph (ii) of this Section 5.2(e) (including, but not limited to, the execution of customary lock-up agreements), the Investors shall take such action promptly but in any event
within three (3) Business Days following the date of such request. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain any waivers to the restrictive sale and purchase provisions of any “hold
back” agreement that are reasonably requested by an Investor. 
 Section 5.3 Indemnification; Contribution. 

(a) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each Shareholder and their respective affiliates,
directors, officers and employees (each of the foregoing, together with the Shareholders, a “Covered Person”) against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which such Covered Person may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state “blue sky” securities laws, any equivalent non-U.S. securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of
or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the
Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any registration of securities, and the Company shall reimburse such Covered Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Covered Person
in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, action, damage or liability; provided that the Company shall not be so liable in any such case to the extent that any loss, claim, action, damage, liability or
expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made or incorporated by 

  
 28 

 
reference in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company or prepared on behalf of the Company by such Covered Person
expressly for use therein. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. 
 (b) In connection
with any registration in which a Shareholder is participating, each such Shareholder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding itself as is required for use in any such Registration Statement or prospectus and shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, employees, and affiliates against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which they or any of them
may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state “blue sky” securities laws, any equivalent non-U.S. securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out
of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor
rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but, in the case of each of clauses
(i) and (ii), only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, is made in such Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405
under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such Shareholder expressly for use therein,
and such Shareholder shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, employees, agents and affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim,
action, damage or liability; provided that the obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) shall be individual and several, not joint and several, for each participating Shareholder and shall not exceed an amount equal to the net
proceeds (after deducting any costs and expenses paid by the participating Shareholder) actually received by such Shareholder in the sale of Registrable Securities to which such Registration Statement or prospectus relates. This indemnity shall
be in addition to any liability that such Shareholder may otherwise have. 
 (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give
prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided that any failure or delay to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations
hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure or delay. In case a claim or an action that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder is brought
against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the indemnified party as promptly as practicable after receipt of written notice from such
indemnified party of such claim or action, to assume, at the indemnifying party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or action, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party; provided that any indemnified party shall
continue to be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim or action, with counsel of its own choice, but 

  
 29 

 
the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to reimburse the indemnified party for any fees, costs and expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such defense
unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such claim or action within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim or
action, (C) having assumed the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party fails to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or to pursue the defense of such claim or action in a reasonably vigorous manner, (D) the
use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (E) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses
available to it and/or any other indemnified party that is or are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party. Subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence, no indemnifying party shall, in connection with any
one claim or action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general circumstances or allegations, be liable for the fees, costs and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (in
addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle a claim or action for which any indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the
indemnified party, and the indemnifying party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into or agree to any settlement relating to such claim or action unless such judgment or settlement does not impose any admission of wrongdoing or
ongoing obligations on any indemnified party and includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, of a full
and final release from all liability in respect of such claim or action. The indemnifying party shall not be liable hereunder for any amount paid or payable or incurred pursuant to or in connection with any judgment entered or settlement
effected with the consent of an indemnified party unless the indemnifying party has also consented to such judgment or settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or unenforceable
by, an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, action, damage, liability or expense referred to herein, then the applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, action, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on
the other hand, in connection with the statements, omissions or violations that resulted in such loss, claim, action, damage, liability or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, whether the violation of the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities law or rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to
the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any registration of securities was perpetrated by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or violation. The 

  
 30 

 
parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5.3(d). In no event shall the amount that an Shareholder may be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting any
costs and expenses paid by the participating Shareholder) actually received by such Shareholder in the sale of Registrable Securities that gives rise to such obligation to contribute. No indemnified party guilty or liable of fraudulent
misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the indemnified Person or any officer, director or affiliate of such indemnified Person and shall survive the Transfer of securities and the termination of this Agreement, but only with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities
made before the termination date. 
 Section 5.4 Copies of Registration Statements. The Company will, if requested, prior to
filing any Registration Statement pursuant to this Article 5 or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to the Shareholders, and thereafter furnish to the Shareholders, such number of copies of such Registration Statement, amendment and
supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) and the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) as the Shareholders may reasonably
request to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Shareholders. 
 Section 5.5 Expenses. The Company shall pay
all Registration Expenses in connection with a Company Registration or any Investor Registration, provided that each selling shareholder shall pay all applicable underwriting fees, discounts and similar charges pro rata according to the number of
securities to be registered under the applicable Registration Statement. 
 Section 5.6 Termination of Registration Rights. An
Investor’s rights under this Article 5 shall terminate with respect to such Investor when such Investor ceases to own a Percentage Interest of at least one percent (1%), except that Section 5.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 Section 5.7 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents and warrants that it has not granted and is not a party to any
proxy, voting trust or other agreement that is inconsistent with or conflicts with this Article 5. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with or conflicts with the rights
granted under this Article 5.

 ARTICLE 6 

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER 

Section 6.1 Transfer of Shares. Neither the Non-Managing Shareholder nor any Managing Shareholder may, directly or indirectly,
Transfer any Shares except for (i) a Transfer to an affiliate of the party making such Transfer (provided that, if such affiliate is no longer an affiliate of the Shareholder concerned, such Transfer shall be unwound), (ii) a Transfer in connection
with the spin-off by or of the Non-Managing Shareholder or a successor entity holding substantially all of the assets then owned by the Non-Managing Shareholder (or any parent of the Non-Managing Shareholder) of the Shares or an entity holding such
Shares, (iii) a Transfer in connection with a tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company that is recommended by the Supervisory Board to be accepted by the shareholders of the Company, (iv) a Transfer pursuant to the
terms of Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 or (v) a Transfer pursuant to the right of first offer procedures set forth in Section 6.2. In no event will any Managing Shareholder Transfer (1) any Class B Shares to a Competitor or (2) any Class A Shares
to Priceline Group, Inc., TripAdvisor Inc. or Ctrip.Com International Ltd, or any of their respective affiliates (in each case excluding Transfers pursuant to registered public offerings and open market sales under Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
in each case to the extent the party making such Transfer does not have any reason to believe that such entities are purchasing in such offerings or open market sales). Upon a Shareholder’s Transfer of all or any part of such
Shareholder’s Shares to any Person (including an affiliate of such Shareholder (an “Assignee”)) pursuant to this Section 6.1, such Assignee shall be admitted as a substitute or additional Shareholder, but solely for the
purposes of Article 6, Article 7, Article 9 and Article 10, as applicable. It shall be a condition to any such Transfer that such Assignee shall execute a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by its terms and
conditions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no Person that acquires securities transferred in violation of the Company Articles or this Agreement shall have any rights under this Agreement with respect to such securities
as a Shareholder or otherwise, and such securities shall not have the benefits afforded herein. 
 Section 6.2 Right of First
Offer (a) . If either the Non-Managing Shareholder or a Managing Shareholder is permitted to dispose of Shares (as applicable, the “ROFO Securities”) pursuant to the terms hereof and elects to do so (the
“Transferring Holder”), the Non-Managing Shareholder and/or its designated affiliate (in the case of a proposed disposition by a Managing Shareholder) or the Managing Shareholders collectively (in the case of a proposed disposition
by the Non-Managing Shareholder) (each, a “ROFO Offeree”), shall have a right of first offer over such ROFO Securities, which shall be exercised in the following manner: 

(a) The Transferring Holder shall provide the ROFO Offeree with written notice (a “ROFO Notice”) of its desire to Transfer the
ROFO Securities. The ROFO Notice shall set forth the number and type of ROFO Securities the Transferring Holder wishes to Transfer. 

(b) The ROFO Offeree shall have a period of up to ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the ROFO Notice (the “ROFO Election
Period”) to give the Transferring Holder a binding written offer (the “ROFO Offer”) to purchase (or, at the option of the ROFO Offeree, to cause one (1) or more of its affiliates to purchase) all but not less than all of
the ROFO Securities described in the ROFO Notice. The ROFO Offer shall include the price per ROFO Security offered, including the form of consideration in respect thereof.

  
 32 

 (c) The ROFO Offer may set forth a proposal to receive EXPE Stock as form of consideration,
provided, however, that each ROFO Offer shall always consists of a cash consideration of at least 30%, and provided, further, that the Non-Managing Shareholder shall not be obligated to offer a cash consideration exceeding an amount of $150
million. With regard to EXPE Stock, the ROFO Offer may either contain (x) a certain dollar value of EXPE Stock to be offered or (y) a number of shares of EXPE Stock (and the “purchase price” for purposes of Section 6.2 shall be the
value of EXPE Stock as obtained from Bloomberg L.P. on the last trading day prior to the date of the ROFO Offer). The ROFO Offer shall remain open and binding for four weeks or such greater period of time as may be specified in the ROFO Offer. 

(d) If any ROFO Offeree makes a ROFO Offer within the ROFO Election Period and the Transferring Holder accepts such ROFO Offer during the
period described in Section 6.2(b) above, such purchase shall be consummated at a date that is calculated applying the principles of the Leaver Closing Date described in Section 2.6 (using the date of the acceptance of the ROFO Offer as the
reference date for the time periods described therein). 
 (e) If any ROFO Offeree makes a ROFO Offer within the ROFO Election Period and the
Transferring Holder does not accept the ROFO Offer, the Transferring Holder may only Transfer the ROFO Securities specified in the ROFO Notice at any time within the four (4) week period described in Section 6.2(c) (which period shall not increase
because of an extended acceptance period for the ROFO Offer) at a price that is not less than the purchase price specified in the ROFO Offer. If the ROFO Offer sets forth a consideration in EXPE Stock, the Transferring Holder may Transfer the ROFO
Securities at a price that is not less than (x) the value of EXPE Stock if the ROFO Offeree offers shares in EXPE Stock for a certain value or (y) the value of shares in EXPE Stock as obtained from Bloomberg L.P. on the last trading day prior to the
sale by the Transferring Holder to a third party if the ROFO Offeree offers a certain number of ROFO Stock. Following the expiration of any time periods set forth in this Section 6.2(e), or if no ROFO Offer is made within the ROFO Election
Period, the Transferring Holder may not Transfer any such ROFO Securities without first following the procedures set forth in this Section 6.2. Section 6.1 shall not apply to a Transfer of ROFO Securities in accordance with the procedures set forth
in this Section 6.2. 
 (f) Subject to the Transfer restrictions in Section 6.1, each Managing Shareholder shall be permitted to Transfer up
to one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company in a calendar year via open market transactions (including pursuant to written a written plan for trading securities that is designed in accordance with Rule 10b5-1(c) of the
Exchange Act) without complying with the procedures in this Section 6.2; provided that any sales by Shareholder 3 of up to 0.5% (one half percent) of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company during the first year after the Settlement shall
be disregarded for purposes of determining whether Shareholder 3 has maintained a Percentage Interest that is not less than fifty percent (50%) of Shareholder 3’s Percentage Interest immediately following the Settlement. 

Section 6.3 Tag-Along. If the Non-Managing Shareholder (i) Transfers some or all of its Shares to Priceline Group, Inc.,
TripAdvisor Inc. or Ctrip.Com International Ltd or any of their respective affiliates (in each case excluding Transfers pursuant to registered public offerings and open market sales under Rule 144 under the Securities Act to the extent the
Non-Managing Shareholder does not have any reason to believe that such entities are purchasing in such offerings or open market sales) (a “Tag Disposal”), the Non-Managing Shareholder shall, at its option, procure that the
Competitor offers to buy from any requesting Managing Shareholders 

  
 33 

 
a Percentage Interest held by them equivalent to the proportion of Shares held by the Non-Managing Shareholder proposed to be Transferred by the Non-Managing Shareholder at the same terms and
conditions (on a pro rata basis) as the terms under which the Non-Managing Shareholder sells to the Competitor. The Parties shall give all declarations and take all actions which are necessary or beneficial for implementing the sale and
transfer of Shares under a Tag Disposal. 
 Section 6.4 Drag-Along. In the event of a sale by the Non-Managing Shareholder of
all of the Shares in the Company held by the Non-Managing Shareholder, with the consent of at least one Managing Shareholder, to a bona fide third party that is not an affiliate of the Non-Managing Shareholder (a “Third Party
Purchaser”) at a purchase price that is not lower than the volume-weighted average closing price of a Class A Share as obtained from Bloomberg L.P. over the fifteen trading days prior to the date that is two Business Days prior to the Drag
Disposal Notice (such disposal a “Drag Disposal”), the Non-Managing Shareholder shall have the right to require the Managing Shareholders by way of a written notice from the Non-Managing Shareholder to the Managing
Shareholders’ Representative (a “Drag Disposal Notice”) to sell and transfer their Shares to the Third Party Purchaser. The sale and transfer of the Shares to be sold by the Managing Shareholders pursuant to the Drag Disposal
Notice shall be to the same Third Party Purchaser and on the same terms and conditions, including the price per share, as the sale and transfer by the Non-Managing Shareholder, provided that the Managing Shareholders shall only be obliged to give
customary representations and warranties with respect to authority and title in the shares to be sold pursuant to the Drag Disposal Notice. The Parties shall give all declarations and take all actions which are necessary or beneficial for
implementing the sale and transfer of shares under a Drag Disposal. 
 ARTICLE 7

NON-COMPETITION OBLIGATION; NON-SOLICITATION

Managing Director. 

  

	3.3	The number of Managing Directors shall be kept consistent with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement. 

 

	3.4	The Managing Directors shall be appointed, suspended and dismissed in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement and applicable law. 

 

	3.5	A person may be appointed as Managing Director for a maximum term of up to one year, provided that the term of office of a Managing Director may be extended to expire at the end of the annual General Meeting held
in the first year following his most recent (re)appointment as a Managing Director. A Managing Director is expected to retire early in the event of inadequate functioning, structural incompatibility of interests, and in other instances in which this
is deemed necessary by the Supervisory Board. 

  

	3.6	The Supervisory Board may elect a Managing Director to be the CEO and another Managing Director to be the CFO, subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement. The Supervisory Board
may revoke the title of CEO or CFO, provided that the Managing Director concerned shall subsequently continue his term of office as a Managing Director without having the title of CEO or CFO, respectively, in each case subject to the terms of the
Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement. 

  

	3.7	The Management Board should be composed such that the requisite expertise, background and skills are present, enabling the Managing Directors to carry out their duties properly. Each Managing Director should have
the specific expertise required for the fulfilment of his duties. 

 DUTIES AND ORGANISATION 

Article 4 
  

	4.1	The Management Board is charged with the management of the Company, subject to the restrictions contained in the Articles of Association, the Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement and these rules. In
performing their duties, Managing Directors shall be guided by the interests of the Company and of the business connected with it. 

  

	4.2	 Each Managing Director shall perform, and shall be responsible for, the tasks and duties allocated to him
by the Management Board. Notwithstanding a Managing Director’s own responsibility for tasks and duties assigned to him, each Managing Director should work with the other Managing Directors in a cooperative manner within the scope of the general
tasks and duties of the Management Board as a whole. The Managing Directors are obliged to inform each other continuously on important business affairs, planning, 

	 	
developments and measures relating to the tasks and duties allocated to them, in particular on special risks or threatened losses, and are obliged to consult the other Managing Directors about
issues of essential importance. 

  

	4.3	Each Managing Director is required to perform his tasks and duties for which he is responsible as Managing Director pursuant to this Article from the Company’s principal offices in Germany (or otherwise from
a location in Germany) and in accordance with the principles set forth in Appendix B. 

  

	4.4	The Management Board is responsible for the continuity of the Company and its business, focusing on long-term value creation for the Company and its business. The Management Board shall, under the supervision of
the Supervisory Board, formulate and implement a strategy focus on long-term value creation that may, depending on market dynamics, continually require short-term adjustment. 

 

	4.5	The Management Board should engage the Supervisory Board at a timely stage in formulating the view on long-term value creation and the strategy for its realisation. The Management Board should submit the
strategy, and the explanatory notes to that strategy, to the Supervisory Board for approval. 

  

	4.6	The Management Board shall provide the Supervisory Board with the information necessary for the performance of its tasks in a timely fashion. At least once per calendar quarter, the Management Board shall inform
the Supervisory Board in writing of the main features of the strategic policy, the general and financial risks and the administration and control system of the Company. The Management Board shall attend any meetings that are from time to time
convened by the Supervisory Board to discuss certain business with the Management Board, provided that all Managing Directors shall be given reasonable notice by or on behalf of the Supervisory Board of any such meeting at least one week in advance.
The Management Board shall provide the Supervisory Board with any information reasonably requested by the Supervisory Board in advance of such meetings. 

  

	4.7	The Management Board should identify and analyse the risks associated with the Company’s strategy and activities. It should set the rules within which the Company may accept risks and the control measures to
counter those risks. The context for this analysis should be determined by aspects such as the Company’s continuity, reputation, financial reporting, funding, operating activities and long-term value creation. 

 

	4.8	Based on the risk assessment referred to in Article 4.7, the Management Board should design, implement and maintain adequate internal risk management and control systems. As much as possible, these systems should
form part of the work processes within the Company and - to the extent relevant - should be known at all levels within the enterprise affiliated with the Company. The internal risk management and control systems should be adjusted in response to
incidents in a timely fashion. 

  

	4.9	The Management Board should monitor the operation of the internal risk management and control systems and, at least annually, carry out a systematic review of the effectiveness of the systems’ design and
operation. Such monitoring should cover all material control measures, including the financial, operational and compliance aspects, and take account of weaknesses observed and lessons learned, signals from whistleblowers and findings from the
internal audit function and the external auditor. Where necessary, improvements should be made to internal risk management and control systems. 

  

	4.10	The Management Board should render account to the Supervisory Board and to the Company’s audit committee of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s internal risk management and
control systems. 

	4.11	The Management Board is responsible for the functioning of the Company’s internal audit function. The Management Board should both appoint and dismiss the senior internal auditor. Both the appointment and

effect on the Company and/or the business connected with it. Notice of a Board Meeting shall include the date, time, place and agenda for that Board Meeting and shall be sent to the Managing Directors in writing.

(ii) none of them objects to this decision-making process, (iii) the majority of the Managing Directors sign the resolution in Germany and (iv) the resolution shall not be signed in the Netherlands. However, in principle, Board Meetings should be
held as physical meetings. Articles 5.8 through 5.11 apply mutatis mutandis.

or other life companion, foster child and relatives by blood or marriage up to the second degree. The Supervisory Board should decide, outside the presence of the Managing Director concerned, whether there is a Conflict of Interests.

	6.4	All transactions in which there are Conflicts of Interests with Managing Directors should be agreed on terms that are customary in the market. Decisions to enter into transactions in which there are Conflicts of
Interests with Managing Directors that are of material significance to the Company and/or to the relevant Managing Director shall require the approval of the Supervisory Board.

time, provided that the holder of any such power of attorney must be a German tax resident, unless it concerns a power of attorney granted to an advisor, lawyer or auditor of the Company and the scope of such power of attorney is limited to the

Director to do so, the requesting Supervisory Director(s) may convene the Supervisory Board Meeting by means of a written notice. 

  

	6.4	All Supervisory Directors shall be given reasonable notice of at least one week for all Supervisory Board Meetings, unless a shorter notice is required to avoid a delay which could reasonably be expected to have
an adverse effect on the Company and/or the business connected with it. Notice of a Supervisory Board Meeting shall include the date, time, place and agenda for that Supervisory Board Meeting and shall be sent to the Supervisory Directors in
writing. 

  

	6.5	For the first twelve months following the Company’s incorporation, all Supervisory Board Meetings must be held physically in Germany. Thereafter, Supervisory Board Meetings may be held elsewhere, but only in
exceptional circumstances and provided that, in any event, Supervisory Board Meetings (i) shall not be held more than once a year outside Germany and (ii) shall not be held in the Netherlands. 

	6.6	If a Supervisory Board Meeting has not been convened in accordance with Articles 6.3 and 6.4, resolutions may nevertheless be passed at such Supervisory Board Meeting by a unanimous vote of all Supervisory
Directors.

relevant Supervisory Board Meeting. The chairman of the Supervisory Board Meeting shall appoint a secretary to prepare the minutes of the proceedings at such Supervisory Board Meeting. The secretary does not necessarily need to be a Supervisory
Director. 

  

	6.8	Minutes of the proceedings at a Supervisory Board Meeting shall be sufficient evidence thereof and of the observance of all necessary formalities, provided that such minutes are certified by a Supervisory
Director. 

  

	6.9	Without prejudice to Article 6.13, each Supervisory Director may cast one vote in the decision-making of the Supervisory Board.

the number of Supervisory Directors who are present or represented at a Supervisory Board Meeting.

facilities, provided that (i) the Supervisory Board Meeting is held in, and such audio-communication is initiated from, Germany, (ii) no more than two Supervisory Directors participate in such Supervisory Board Meeting from a location outside
Germany and (iii) no Supervisory Director participates in such Supervisory Board Meeting from a location in the Netherlands. However, in principle, Supervisory Board Meetings should be held as physical meetings.

resolution to be passed, (ii) none of them objects to this decision-making process, and (iii) the majority of the Supervisory Directors sign the written resolution in Germany. However, in principle, Supervisory Board Meetings should be held as
physical meetings. Articles 6.9 through 6.13 apply mutatis mutandis. 

 CONFLICT OF INTERESTS 

Article 7 
  

	7.1	A Supervisory Director shall not participate in the deliberations and decision-making of the Supervisory Board on a matter in relation to which he has a Conflict of Interests. If, as a result thereof, no
resolution can be passed by the Supervisory Board, the resolution shall nevertheless be passed by the Supervisory Board. 

	7.2	A Conflict of Interests shall be considered to exist if the Company intends to enter into a transaction with a legal entity: 

  

	 	a.	in which a Supervisory Director personally has a material financial interest; or 

  

	 	b.	which has a member of its management board or its supervisory board who is related under family law to a Supervisory Director. 

A Conflict of Interests shall not be considered to exist by reason only of a Supervisory Director’s affiliation with a direct or indirect
shareholder of the Company. 
  

	7.3	A Supervisory Director should immediately report any actual or potential Conflict of Interests in a transaction that is of material significance to the Company and/or to such Supervisory Director to the Chairman
and should provide all relevant information in that regard. If the Chairman has an actual or potential Conflict of Interests as described in the previous sentence, he should report this immediately to the Vice-Chairman. The Supervisory Board should
decide, outside the presence of the Supervisory Director concerned, whether there is a Conflict of Interests. 

  

	7.4	All transactions in which there are Conflicts of Interests with Supervisory Directors should be agreed on terms that are customary in the market. Decisions to enter into transactions in which there are Conflicts
of Interests with Supervisory Directors that are of material significance to the Company and/or to the relevant Supervisory Director shall require the approval of the Supervisory Board.

Article 8 
  

	8.1	The Supervisory Directors shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading policy. 

  

	8.2	In addition, each Supervisory Director shall practice great reticence: 

  

	 	a.	when conducting a transaction in shares or other financial instruments issued by, or relating to, another listed company if this could reasonably create the appearance of such Supervisory Director possessing, or
being able to possess, price-sensitive information concerning such company; and 

  

	 	b.	in the ownership of and trading in shares or other financial instruments issued by, or relating to, another listed company which is a direct competitor of the Company. 

COMPENSATION

The General Meeting may grant a compensation to the Supervisory Directors. 

 COMMITTEES 

Article 10 
  

	10.1	The Supervisory Board should ensure that it functions effectively. For this purpose, the Supervisory Board may establish Committees to prepare the Supervisory Board’s decision-making. This shall not diminish

	10.2	The Supervisory Board has established the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee and may establish such other Committees as deemed to be necessary or appropriate by the Supervisory Board.

	 	b.	the Committee Charter of the relevant Committee may deviate from Article 6.
