 DEPOSIT AGREEMENT dated as of February 8, 2005 (the “Deposit Agreement”) among AIXTRON
AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT and its successors (the “Company”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as depositary hereunder (the “Depositary”), and all holders from time to time of American Depositary Receipts issued hereunder (“ADRs”)
evidencing American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing deposited Shares (defined below). The parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. Certain Definitions. 
  
 (a) “ADR Register” is defined in paragraph (3) of the form of ADR. 
  
 (b) “ADRs” mean the American Depositary Receipts executed and delivered hereunder. ADRs may be either in
physical certificated form or Direct Registration ADRs. ADRs in physical certificated form, and the terms and conditions governing the Direct Registration ADRs (as hereinafter defined), shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto
(the “form of ADR”). The term “Direct Registration ADR” means an ADR, the ownership of which is recorded on the Direct Registration System. References to “ADRs” shall include certificated ADRs and Direct
Registration ADRs, unless the context otherwise requires. The form of ADR is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof; the provisions of the form of ADR shall be binding upon the parties hereto. 
  
 (c) Subject to paragraph (13) of the form of ADR, each ADS evidenced by an
ADR represents the right to receive one Share and a pro rata share in any other Deposited Securities. 
  
 (d) “CSB” means Clearstream Banking AG, the German central securities depositary, and any successor entity. 
  
 (e) “Custodian” means the agent or agents of the Depositary
(singly or collectively, as the context requires) and any additional or substitute Custodian appointed pursuant to Section 9. 
  
 (f) The terms “deliver”, “execute”, “issue”, “register”, “surrender”,
“transfer” or “cancel”, when used with respect to Direct Registration ADRs, shall refer to an entry or entries or an electronic transfer or transfers in the Direct Registration System, and, when used with respect to
ADRs in physical certificated form, shall refer to the physical delivery, execution, issuance, registration, surrender, transfer or cancellation of certificates representing the ADRs. 
  
 (g) “Delivery Order” is defined in Section 3. 
  
 (h) “Deposited Securities” as of any time means all Shares at such time deposited under this Deposit
Agreement and any and all other Shares, securities, property and cash at such time held by the Depositary or the Custodian in respect or in lieu of such deposited Shares and other Shares, securities, property and cash. 
  
 (i) “Direct Registration System” means the system for the
uncertificated registration of ownership of securities established by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and utilized by 

 
the Depositary pursuant to which the Depositary may record the ownership of ADRs without the issuance of a certificate, which ownership shall be evidenced by
periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the Holders entitled thereto. For purposes hereof, the Direct Registration System shall include access to the Profile Modification System maintained by DTC which provides for automated transfer of
ownership between DTC and the Depositary. 
  
 (j)
“Holder” means the person or persons in whose name an ADR is registered on the ADR Register. 
  
 (k) “Securities Act of 1933” means the United States Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended. 
  
 (l) “Securities Exchange Act of 1934” means the United
States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as from time to time amended. 
  
 (m) “Shares” mean the ordinary bearer shares, as amended or redenominated from time to time, of the Company and shall include the rights to receive Shares specified in Paragraph (1) of the form of ADR. 
  
 (n) “Transfer Office” is defined in paragraph (3) of the
form of ADR. 
  
 (o) “Withdrawal Order” is
defined in Section 6. 
  
 2. ADRs. (a) ADRs in certificated
form shall be engraved, printed or otherwise reproduced at the discretion of the Depositary in accordance with its customary practices in its American depositary receipt business, or at the request of the Company typewritten and photocopied on plain
or safety paper, and shall be substantially in the form set forth in the form of ADR, with such changes as may be required by the Depositary or the Company to comply with their obligations hereunder, any applicable law, regulation or usage or to
indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular ADRs are subject. ADRs may be issued in denominations of any number of ADSs. ADRs in certificated form shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature
of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary. ADRs in certificated form bearing the facsimile signature of anyone who was at the time of execution a duly authorized officer of the Depositary shall bind the Depositary, notwithstanding that such
officer has ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such ADRs. 
  
 (b) Direct Registration ADRs. Notwithstanding anything in this Deposit Agreement or in the form of ADR to the contrary, ADSs shall be evidenced by Direct Registration ADRs, unless certificated ADRs are
specifically requested by the Holder. 
  
 (c) Holders shall be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement and of the form of ADR, regardless of whether their ADRs are Direct Registration ADRs or certificated ADRs. 
  

 2 

 3. Deposit of Shares. Shares may be deposited under this Deposit Agreement by delivery thereof to
the Custodian, at the account maintained by the Custodian for such purpose at the CSB. Shares or evidence of rights to receive Shares may be deposited through (x) the electronic transfer of such Shares to the account maintained by the Custodian for
such purpose at the CSB, (y) evidence satisfactory to the Custodian of irrevocable instructions to cause such Shares to be transferred to such account or (z) delivery of certificates representing such Shares. If use of the CSB book-entry system in
connection with the ADSs is discontinued at any time for any reason, the Company shall make such other book-entry arrangements (if any) that it determines, after consultation with the Depositary, are reasonable. In connection with the deposit of
Shares hereunder, the Depositary or the Custodian may require the following in form satisfactory to it: (a) a written order directing the Depositary to issue to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons designated in such order a Direct
Registration ADR or ADRs evidencing the number of ADSs representing such deposited Shares (a “Delivery Order”); (b) proper endorsements or duly executed instruments of transfer in respect of such deposited Shares; (c) instruments assigning
to the Custodian or its nominee any distribution on or in respect of such deposited Shares or indemnity therefor; and (d) proxies entitling the Custodian to vote such deposited Shares. As soon as practicable after the Custodian receives Deposited
Securities pursuant to any such deposit or pursuant to paragraph (10) or (13) of the form of ADR, the Custodian shall present such Deposited Securities for registration of transfer into the name of the Custodian or its nominee, to the extent such
registration is practicable, at the cost and expense of the person making such deposit (or for whose benefit such deposit is made) and shall obtain evidence satisfactory to it of such registration. Shares deposited hereunder and other Deposited
Securities eligible for deposit with CSB shall be held by the Custodian at its account at CSB or in such other place or places and in such manner as the Depositary shall determine. Deposited Securities may be delivered by the Custodian to any person
only under the circumstances expressly contemplated in this Deposit Agreement. To the extent that the provisions of or governing the Shares make delivery of certificates therefor impracticable, Shares may be deposited hereunder by such delivery
thereof as the Depositary or the Custodian may reasonably accept, including, without limitation, by causing them to be credited to an account maintained by the Custodian for such purpose with the Company or an accredited intermediary, such as a
bank, acting as a registrar for the Shares, together with delivery of the documents, payments and Delivery Order referred to herein to the Custodian or the Depositary. 
  
 4. Issue of ADRs. After any such deposit of Shares, the Custodian shall notify the Depositary of such deposit and of
the information contained in any related Delivery Order by letter, first class airmail postage prepaid, or, at the request, risk and expense of the person making the deposit, by cable, telex or facsimile transmission. After receiving such notice
from the Custodian, the Depositary, subject to this Deposit Agreement, shall properly issue at the Transfer Office, to or upon the order of any person named in such notice, an ADR or ADRs registered as requested and evidencing the aggregate ADSs to
which such person is entitled. 
  
 5. Distributions on
Deposited Securities. To the extent that the Depositary determines in its discretion that any distribution pursuant to paragraph (10) of the form of ADR is not 

  

 3 

 
practicable with respect to any Holder, the Depositary may make such distribution as it so deems practicable, including the distribution of foreign currency,
securities or property (or appropriate documents evidencing the right to receive foreign currency, securities or property) or the retention thereof as Deposited Securities with respect to such Holder’s ADRs (without liability for interest
thereon or the investment thereof). 
  
 6. Withdrawal of
Deposited Securities. In connection with any surrender of an ADR for withdrawal of the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced thereby, the Depositary may require proper endorsement in blank of such ADR (or duly executed
instruments of transfer thereof in blank) and the Holder’s written order directing the Depositary to cause the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such ADR to be withdrawn and delivered to, or upon the written order of,
any person designated in such order (a “Withdrawal Order”). Directions from the Depositary to the Custodian to deliver Deposited Securities shall be given by letter, first class airmail postage prepaid, or, at the request, risk and expense
of the Holder, by cable, telex or facsimile transmission. Delivery of Deposited Securities may be made by the delivery of certificates (which, if required by law shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by properly executed instruments of transfer
or, if such certificates may be registered, registered in the name of such Holder or as ordered by such Holder in any Withdrawal Order) or by such other means as the Depositary may deem practicable, including, without limitation, by transfer of
record ownership thereof to an account designated in the Withdrawal Order maintained either by the Company or an accredited intermediary, such as a bank, acting as a registrar for the Deposited Securities. 
  
 7. Substitution of ADRs. The Depositary shall execute and deliver a
new Direct Registration ADR in exchange and substitution for any mutilated certificated ADR upon cancellation thereof or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen certificated ADR, unless the Depositary has notice that such
ADR has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, upon the Holder thereof filing with the Depositary a request for such execution and delivery and a sufficient indemnity bond and satisfying any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Depositary.

  
 8. Cancellation and Destruction of ADRs. All ADRs
surrendered to the Depositary shall be cancelled by the Depositary. The Depositary is authorized to destroy ADRs in certificated form so cancelled in accordance with its customary practices. The Depositary is authorized to destroy ADRs in
certificated form so cancelled in accordance with its customary practices. The Depositary agrees to maintain or cause its agents to maintain records of all ADRs surrendered and Deposited Securities withdrawn under Section 6 hereof and paragraph (2)
of the form of ADR, substitute ADRs delivered under Section 7 hereof, and canceled or destroyed ADRs under this Section 8, in keeping with the procedures ordinarily followed by stock transfer agents located in the City of New York or as otherwise
required by the laws or regulations governing the Depositary. 
  
 9. The Custodian. Any Custodian in acting hereunder shall be subject to the directions of the Depositary and shall be responsible solely to it. The Depositary may from time to time appoint one or more agents to act for it as
Custodian hereunder. Each Custodian so appointed 

  

 4 

 
(other than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) shall give written notice to the Company and the Depositary accepting such appointment and agreeing to be bound by the
applicable terms hereof. Any Custodian may resign from its duties hereunder by at least 30 days written notice to the Depositary. The Depositary may discharge any Custodian at any time upon notice to the Custodian being discharged. Any Custodian
ceasing to act hereunder as Custodian shall deliver, upon the instruction of the Depositary, all Deposited Securities held by it to a Custodian continuing to act. 
  
 10. Co-Registrars and Co-Transfer Agents. The Depositary may appoint and remove (i) co-registrars to register ADRs
and transfers, combinations and split-ups of ADRs and to countersign ADRs in accordance with the terms of any such appointment and (ii) co-transfer agents for the purpose of effecting transfers, combinations and split-ups of ADRs at designated
transfer offices in addition to the Transfer Office on behalf of the Depositary. Each co-registrar or co-transfer agent (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) shall give notice in writing to the Company and the Depositary accepting such appointment
and agreeing to be bound by the applicable terms of this Deposit Agreement. 
  
 11. Lists of Holders. The Company shall have the right to inspect transfer records of the Depositary and its agents and the ADR Register, take copies thereof and require the Depositary and its agents to supply
copies of such portions of such records as the Company may request. The Depositary or its agent shall furnish to the Company promptly upon the written request of the Company, a list of the names, addresses and holdings of ADSs by all Holders as of a
date within seven days of the Depositary’s receipt of such request. 
  
 12. Depositary’s Agents. The Depositary may perform its obligations under this Deposit Agreement through any agent appointed by it, provided that the Depositary shall notify the Company of such appointment
and shall remain responsible for the performance of such obligations as if no agent were appointed. 
  
 13. Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by 30 days prior written notice of its election so to do
delivered to the Company. The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by 30 days prior written notice of such removal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall
resign or be removed, it shall continue to act as Depositary for the purpose of terminating this Deposit Agreement pursuant to paragraph (17) of the form of ADR. In the context of any resignation or removal, upon payment of all sums due the
Depositary, the Depositary shall provide the Company with a copy of its Holder records and make available to or upon the order of the Company all of the Deposited Securities held hereunder and shall cooperate with the new Depositary in this regard.
Any bank or trust company into or with which the Depositary may be merged or consolidated, or to which the Depositary shall transfer substantially all its American depositary receipt business, shall be the successor of the Depositary without the
execution or filing of any document or any further act. 
  
 14.
Reports. On or before the first date on which the Company makes any communication available to holders of Deposited Securities or any securities regulatory authority or stock exchange, by publication or otherwise, including, without
limitation, any annual reports, 

  

 5 

 
notice of shareholder meetings, shareholder circulars or other materials made available to shareholders of the Company, the Company shall transmit to the
Depositary a copy thereof in English or with an English translation or summary. The Company has delivered to the Depositary, the Custodian and any Transfer Office, a copy of all provisions of or governing the Shares and any other Deposited
Securities issued by the Company or any affiliate of the Company and, promptly upon any change thereto, the Company shall deliver to the Depositary, the Custodian and any Transfer Office, a copy (in English or with an English translation) of such
provisions as so changed. The Depositary and its agents may rely upon the Company’s delivery thereof for all purposes of this Deposit Agreement. 
  
 15. Additional Shares. Neither the Company nor any company controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company shall issue
additional Shares, rights to subscribe for Shares, securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or rights to subscribe for any such securities or shall deposit any Shares under this Deposit Agreement, except under circumstances complying
in all respects with the Securities Act of 1933. The Depositary will use reasonable efforts to comply with written instructions of the Company not to accept for deposit hereunder any Shares identified in such instructions at such times and under
such circumstances as may reasonably be specified in such instructions in order to facilitate the Company’s compliance with securities laws in the United States. 
  
 16. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Depositary and its agents
against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may arise out of acts performed or omitted, in connection with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and of the ADRs, as the same may be amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance herewith (i) by either the Depositary or its agents or their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates, except, subject to the penultimate paragraph of this Section 16, for any
liability or expense directly arising out of its negligence or bad faith, or (ii) by the Company or any of its directors, employees, agents or affiliates. 
  
 The indemnities set forth in the preceding paragraph shall apply to any liability or expense which may arise out of any misstatement or alleged
misstatement or omission or alleged omission in any registration statement, proxy statement, prospectus (or placement memorandum), or preliminary prospectus (or preliminary placement memorandum) relating to the offer or sale of ADSs, except to the
extent any such liability or expense arises out of (i) information relating to the Depositary or its agents (other than the Company), as applicable, furnished in writing by the Depositary and not changed or altered by the Company expressly for use
in any of the foregoing documents or (ii) if such information is provided, the failure to state a material fact necessary to make the information provided not misleading. 
  
 Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph, the Depositary shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the Company
against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Company in respect of this Deposit Agreement to the extent such loss, liability or expense is due to the negligence or bad faith of the
Depositary or any of its agents appointed hereunder. 
  

 6 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement or the form of ADR to the contrary, neither
the Company nor the Depositary, nor any of their agents, shall be liable to the other for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (collectively “Special Damages”) except (i) to the extent such Special Damages arise from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from whom indemnification is sought or (ii) to the extent Special Damages arise from or out of a claim brought by a third party (including, without limitation, Holders) against the Depositary
or its agents, except to the extent such Special Damages arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification hereunder 
  

The obligations set forth in this Section 16 shall survive the termination of this Deposit Agreement and the succession or substitution of any
indemnified person. 
  
 17. Notices. Notice to any Holder
shall be deemed given when first mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the address of such Holder on the ADR Register or received by such Holder. Notice to the Depositary or the Company shall be deemed given when first received by it at the
address or facsimile transmission number set forth in (a) or (b), respectively, or at such other address or facsimile transmission number as either may specify to the other by written notice:

 18.
Miscellaneous. This Deposit Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the Company, the Depositary, the Holders, and their respective successors hereunder, and shall not give any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim whatsoever to any
other person. The Holders and owners of ADRs from time to time shall be parties to this Deposit Agreement and shall be bound by all of the provisions hereof and the ADRs. If any such provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
remaining provisions shall in no way be affected thereby. This Deposit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one instrument. 
  
 19. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company irrevocably agrees that any
legal suit, action or proceeding against the Company brought by the Depositary or any Holder, arising out of 

  

 7 

 
or based upon this Deposit Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may be instituted in any state or federal court in Manhattan, New York, and
irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company has
appointed CT Corporation, New York, New York, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon which process may be served in any such action arising out of or based on this Deposit Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby which may be instituted in any state or federal court in Manhattan, New York by the Depositary or any Holder, and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Company represents and
warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such
appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Company shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company. If, for any reason,
the Authorized Agent named above or its successor shall no longer serve as agent of the Company to receive service of process in New York, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor acceptable to the Depositary, so as to serve and will promptly
advise the Depositary thereof. In the event the Company fails to continue such designation and appointment in full force and effect, the Company hereby waives personal service of process upon it and consents that any such service of process may be
made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to the Company at its address last specified for notices hereunder, and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action based on this Agreement may be instituted by the Depositary or any Holder in any competent court in the Federal Republic of Germany. 
  
 To the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter be entitled to, or
have attributed to it, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any respect thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any
court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of
any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or other matter under or arising out of or in connection with the Shares or Deposited Securities, the ADSs, the ADRs or
this Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to plead or claim, any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.

 AIXTRON AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT 
  
 (Incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany) 
  
 JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America, as depositary hereunder (the
“Depositary”), hereby certifies that              is the registered owner (a “Holder”) of      American Depositary Shares
(“ADSs”), each (subject to paragraph (13)) representing one ordinary bearer share (including the rights to receive Shares described in paragraph (1), “Shares” and, together with any other securities, cash or property from time to
time held by the Depositary in respect or in lieu of deposited Shares, the “Deposited Securities”), of AIXTRON AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (the “Company”),
deposited under the Deposit Agreement dated as of February 8, 2005 (as amended from time to time, the “Deposit Agreement”) among the Company, the Depositary 

  

 A-1 

 
and all Holders from time to time of American Depositary Receipts issued thereunder (“ADRs”), each of whom by accepting an ADR becomes a party
thereto. The Deposit Agreement and this ADR (which includes the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements entered into and to be
performed solely within New York. 
  
 (1) Issuance of ADRs.
This ADR is one of the ADRs issued under the Deposit Agreement. Subject to paragraph (4), the Depositary may so issue ADRs for delivery at the Transfer Office (defined in paragraph (3)) only against deposit with the Custodian of: (a) Shares in form
satisfactory to the Custodian; (b) rights to receive Shares from the Company or any registrar, transfer agent, clearing agent or other entity recording Share ownership or transactions; or, (c) other rights to receive Shares (until such Shares are
actually deposited pursuant to (a) or (b) above, “Pre-released ADRs”) only if (i) Pre-released ADRs are fully collateralized (marked to market daily) with cash or U.S. government securities held by the Depositary for the benefit of Holders
(but such collateral shall not constitute “Deposited Securities”), (ii) each recipient of Pre-released ADRs agrees in writing with the Depositary that such recipient (a) owns such Shares, (b) assigns all beneficial right, title and
interest therein to the Depositary, (c) holds such Shares for the account of the Depositary and (d) will deliver such Shares to the Custodian as soon as practicable and promptly upon demand therefor and (iii) all Pre-released ADRs evidence not more
than 30% of all ADSs (excluding those evidenced by Pre-released ADRs), provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may retain for
its own account any earnings on collateral for Pre-released ADRs and its charges for issuance thereof. Shares or evidence of rights to receive Shares may be deposited through (x) the electronic transfer of such Shares to the account maintained by
the Custodian for such purpose at the CSB, (y) evidence satisfactory to the Custodian of irrevocable instructions to cause such Shares to be transferred to such account or (z) delivery of certificates representing such Shares. At the request, risk
and expense of the person depositing Shares, the Depositary may accept deposits for forwarding to the Custodian and may deliver ADRs at a place other than its office. Every person and/or entity depositing Shares under the Deposit Agreement
represents and warrants that such Shares are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid, nonassessable and free of pre-emptive rights, that the person and/or entity making such deposit is duly authorized so to do and that such Shares (A) are not
“restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 unless at the time of deposit they may be freely transferred in accordance with Rule 144(k) and may otherwise be offered and sold freely in the
United States or (B) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Shares and issuance of ADRs. The Depositary will not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit
Agreement any Shares required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and not so registered; the Depositary may refuse to accept for such deposit any Shares identified by the Company in order to facilitate the Company’s compliance
with such Act. 
  
 (2) Withdrawal of Deposited Securities.
Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), upon surrender of (i) a certificated ADR in form satisfactory to the Depositary at the Transfer Office or (ii) proper instructions and documentation in the case of a Direct Registration ADR, in either case
accompanied by such instruments of transfer as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Holder hereof is entitled to delivery, as promptly as practicable, (i) to an account designated by such 

  

 A-2 

 
Holder with the CSB or an institution that maintains accounts with the CSB, of the Shares and the other Deposited Securities that are eligible for deposit
with CSB and (ii) at the office of the Custodian, of any Deposited Securities that are not eligible for deposit with CSB, in each case at the time underlying this ADR. At the request, risk and expense of the Holder hereof, the Depositary may deliver
Deposited Securities (other than Shares) at the Depositary’s Office referred to below or at such other place as may have been requested by the Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or this ADR, the withdrawal of
Deposited Securities may be restricted only for the reasons set forth in General Instruction I.A.(1) of Form F-6 (as such instructions may be amended from time to time) under the Securities Act of 1933. 
  
 (3) Transfers of ADRs. The Depositary or its agent will keep, at a
designated transfer office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (the “Transfer Office”), (a) a register (the “ADR Register”) for the registration, registration of transfer, combination and split-up of ADRs, and, in
the case of Direct Registration ADRs, shall include the Direct Registration System, which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by Holders and the Company for the purpose of communicating with Holders in the interest of the business of
the Company or a matter relating to the Deposit Agreement and (b) facilities for the delivery and receipt of ADRs. The term ADR Register includes the Direct Registration System. Title to this ADR (and to the beneficial ownership of the Deposited
Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby), when properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the
case of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of New York; provided that the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in whose name this ADR is registered on the ADR Register as the absolute
owner hereof for all purposes and neither the Depositary nor the Company will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any holder of an ADR, unless such holder is the Holder thereof. Subject to paragraphs (4)
and (5), this ADR is transferable on the ADR Register and may be split into other ADRs or combined with other ADRs into one ADR, evidencing the same number of ADSs evidenced by this ADR, by the Holder hereof or by duly authorized attorney upon
surrender of this ADR at the Transfer Office properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer and duly stamped as may be required by applicable law; provided
that the Depositary may close the ADR Register at any time or from time to time when deemed expedient by it or requested by the Company so the Company may close its books or pay dividends in an orderly fashion or facilitate orderly voting of the
Deposited Securities. At the request of a Holder, the Depositary shall, for the purpose of substituting a certificated ADR with a Direct Registration ADR, or vice versa, execute and deliver a certificated ADR or a Direct Registration ADR, as the
case may be, for any authorized number of ADSs requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of ADSs as those evidenced by the certificated ADR or Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, substituted. 
  
 (4) Certain Limitations. Prior to the issue, registration,
registration of transfer, split-up or combination of any ADR, the delivery of any distribution in respect thereof, or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, and from time to 

  

 A-3 

 
time in the case of clause (b)(ii) of this paragraph (4), the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian may require: (a) payment with respect thereto of (i)
any stock transfer or other tax or other governmental charge, (ii) any stock transfer or registration fees in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares or other Deposited Securities upon any applicable register and (iii) any applicable
charges as provided in paragraph (7) of this ADR; (b) the production of proof satisfactory to it of (i) the identity and genuineness of any signature and (ii) such other information, including without limitation, information as to citizenship,
residence, exchange control approval, beneficial ownership of any securities, compliance with applicable law, regulations, provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and terms of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, as it may deem necessary or
proper; and (c) compliance with such regulations as the Depositary may reasonably and in good faith establish consistent with the Deposit Agreement. The issuance of ADRs, the acceptance of deposits of Shares, the registration, registration of
transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, when the ADR Register, the CSB or any register for Deposited
Securities is closed or when any such action is deemed advisable by the Depositary. 
  
 (5) Taxes. If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to this ADR, any Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced
hereby or any distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holder hereof to the Depositary. The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination hereof or,
subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), any withdrawal of such Deposited Securities until such payment is made. The Depositary may also deduct from any distributions on or in respect of Deposited Securities, or may sell by public or private
sale for the account of the Holder hereof any part or all of such Deposited Securities (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the Holder hereof prior to such sale), and may apply such deduction or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of
such tax or other governmental charge, the Holder hereof remaining liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced hereby to reflect any such sales of Shares. In connection with any distribution to Holders, the Company will
remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Company; and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or
agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in property other than cash (including Shares or rights) on Deposited
Securities is subject to any tax that the Depositary or the Custodian is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to
pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the Holders entitled thereto. 
  
 (6) Disclosure of Interests. Each Holder of an ADR and all persons
holding ADRs or beneficial interests in ADRs agree to comply with all applicable provisions of German law and the Company’s Articles of Association regarding the notification of such person’s interest 

  

 A-4 

 
in Shares, which provisions at the date of the Deposit Agreement include Sections 21 and 22 of the Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz).
At the date of the Deposit Agreement, (i) the statutory notification obligations of the Securities Trading Act apply to anyone whose holding, either directly or by way of imputation pursuant to the provisions of Section 22 of the Securities Trading
Act, of voting rights in the Company reaches or exceeds 5%, 10%, 25%, 50% or 75% or, after having reached or exceeded any such threshold, falls below that threshold. Each beneficial owner of ADSs acknowledges that failure to provide on a timely
basis any required notification of an interest in Shares may result in withholding of certain rights, including voting and dividend rights, in respect of the Shares in which such beneficial owner of ADSs has an interest. In connection therewith, the
Company reserves the right to instruct Holders to deliver their ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities so as to permit the Company to deal directly with the Holder thereof as a holder of Shares. The Depositary agrees to
cooperate with the Company in its efforts to inform Holders of the Company’s exercise of its rights under this paragraph and agrees to consult with, and provide reasonable assistance without risk, liability or expense on the part of the
Depositary, to the Company on the manner or manners in which it may enforce such rights with respect to any Holder. 
  
 (7) Charges of Depositary. The Depositary may charge each person to whom ADSs are issued against deposits of Shares, including deposits in respect
of Share Distributions, Rights and Other Distributions (as such terms are defined in paragraph (10)), and each person surrendering ADSs for withdrawal of Deposited Securities, U.S. $5.00 for each 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) delivered or
surrendered. The Depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of Share Distributions, Rights and Other Distributions prior to such deposit to pay such charge. The following additional charges
shall be incurred by the Holders, by any party depositing or withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering ADRs or to whom ADRs are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company
or an exchange of stock regarding the ADRs or the Deposited Securities or a distribution of ADRs pursuant to paragraph (10)), whichever is applicable (i) to the extent not prohibited by the rules of the primary stock exchange upon which the ADSs are
listed, a fee of $.02 or less per ADS (or portion thereof) for any Cash distribution made pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, (ii) to the extent not prohibited by the rules of the primary stock exchange upon which the ADSs are listed, a fee of $1.50
per ADR or ADRs for transfers made pursuant to paragraph (3) hereof, (iii) a fee for the distribution or sale of securities pursuant to paragraph (10) hereof, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs
referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this paragraph (7) treating all such securities as if they were Shares) but which securities or the net cash proceeds from the sale
thereof are instead distributed by the Depositary to Holders entitled thereto, (iv) such fees and expenses as are incurred by the Depositary (including without limitation expenses incurred on behalf of Holders in connection with compliance with
foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in delivery of Deposited Securities or otherwise in connection with the Depositary’s or its Custodian’s compliance with applicable law, rule or
regulation and (v) any other charge payable by any of the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s agents, including, without limitation, the custodian, or the agents of the Depositary’s agents in connection with the servicing of the Shares or
other Deposited Securities (which charge shall be assessed against Holders as of the record date or dates set by the depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Holders or by deducting such charge from
one or more cash dividends 

  

 A-5 

 
or other cash distributions). The Company will pay all other charges and expenses of the Depositary and any agent of the Depositary (except the Custodian)
pursuant to agreements from time to time between the Company and the Depositary, except (i) stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges (which are payable by Holders or persons depositing Shares), (ii) cable, telex and facsimile
transmission and delivery charges incurred at the request of persons depositing, or Holders delivering Shares, ADRs or Deposited Securities (which are payable by such persons or Holders), (iii) transfer or registration fees for the registration or
transfer of Deposited Securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of Deposited Securities (which are payable by persons depositing Shares or Holders withdrawing Deposited Securities; there are no such fees in
respect of the Shares as of the date of the Deposit Agreement), and (iv) expenses of the Depositary in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars (which are paid out of such foreign currency). These charges may be changed
in the manner indicated in paragraph (16). 
  
 (8) Available
Information. The Deposit Agreement, the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and any written communications from the Company, which are both received by the Custodian or its nominee as a holder of Deposited Securities and made
generally available to the holders of Deposited Securities, are available for inspection by Holders at the offices of the Depositary and the Custodian and at the Transfer Office. The Depositary will distribute copies of such communications (or
English translations or summaries thereof) to Holders when furnished by the Company. The Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and accordingly files certain reports with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Such reports and other information may be inspected and copied at public reference facilities maintained by the Commission located at the date hereof at Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF ADR] 
  
 (10) Distributions on Deposited Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), to the extent practicable, the
Depositary will distribute to each Holder entitled thereto on the record date set by the Depositary therefor at such Holder’s address shown on the ADR Register, in proportion to the number of Deposited Securities (on which the following
distributions on Deposited Securities are received by the Custodian) represented by ADSs evidenced by such Holder’s ADRs: (a) Cash. Any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary resulting from a cash dividend or other cash distribution or
the net proceeds of sales of any other distribution or portion thereof authorized in this paragraph (10) (“Cash”), on an averaged or other practicable basis, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld, (ii) such distribution
being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain Holders, and (iii) deduction of the Depositary’s expenses in (1) converting any foreign currency to U.S. dollars by sale or in such other manner as the Depositary may determine to the
extent that it determines that such conversion may be made on a reasonable basis, (2) transferring foreign currency or U.S. dollars to the United States by such means as the Depositary may determine to the extent that it determines that such
transfer may be made on a reasonable basis, (3) obtaining any approval or license of any governmental authority required for such conversion or transfer, which is obtainable at a reasonable cost and within a reasonable time and (4) making any sale
by public or private means in any commercially reasonable manner. (b) Shares. (i) Additional ADRs evidencing whole ADSs representing any Shares available to the Depositary resulting from a dividend or free distribution on Deposited Securities
consisting of Shares (a “Share Distribution”) and (ii) U.S. dollars available to it resulting from the net proceeds of sales of Shares received in a Share Distribution, which Shares would give rise to fractional ADSs if additional ADRs
were issued therefor, as in the case of Cash. (c) Rights. (i) Warrants or other instruments in the discretion of the Depositary representing rights to acquire additional ADRs in respect of any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or
rights of any nature available to the Depositary as a result of a distribution on Deposited Securities (“Rights”), to the extent that the Company timely furnishes to the Depositary evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that the
Depositary may lawfully distribute the same (the Company has no obligation to so furnish such evidence), or (ii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and sales of Rights are practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the
Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Rights as in the case of Cash, or (iii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and such sales cannot practicably be accomplished by reason of the nontransferability of the Rights,
limited markets therefor, their short duration or otherwise, nothing (and any Rights may lapse). (d) Other Distributions. (i) Securities or property available to the Depositary resulting from any distribution on Deposited Securities other
than Cash, Share Distributions and Rights (“Other Distributions”), by any means that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable, or (ii) to the extent the Depositary deems distribution of such securities or property not to be
equitable and practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Other Distributions as in the case of Cash. Such U.S. dollars available will be distributed by checks drawn on a bank in the United States for
whole dollars and cents. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability and dealt with by the Depositary in accordance with its then current practices. 
  
 (11) Record Dates. The Depositary may, after consultation with the Company if practicable, fix a record date (which, to the extent applicable,
shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding record date set by the Company) for the determination of the Holders who shall be 

  

 A-7 

 
responsible for any expenses provided for in paragraph (7) hereof as well as for the determination of the Holders who shall be entitled to receive any
distribution on or in respect of Deposited Securities, to give instructions for the exercise of any voting rights, to receive any notice or to act in respect of other matters and only such Holders shall be so entitled or obligated. 
  
 (12) Voting of Deposited Securities. As promptly as practicable after
receipt from the Company of (i) notice of any meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities and (ii) the statement of the Custodian which will act as a proxy bank in accordance with Sections 128
and 135 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (the “Proxy Bank”), setting forth its recommendations with regard to voting of the Shares pursuant to Section 128 (2) of the German Stock Corporation Act as to any matter
concerning which the notice from the Company indicates that a vote is to be taken by holders of Shares, together with an English translation thereof (the “Recommendation”), the Depositary shall, subject to applicable law and the
Company’s Articles of Association, mail to Holders a notice (a) containing such information as is contained in such notice and any solicitation materials, (b) stating that each Holder on the record date set by the Depositary therefor will be
entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the whole number of Deposited Securities underlying such Holder’s ADRs, (c) containing the Recommendation, and (d) specifying how and when such
instructions may be given. Each Holder who desires to exercise or to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights shall execute and return to the Depositary on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, a document
provided by the Depositary that instructs the Depositary as to how the number of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by such Holder’s ADRs are to be voted. Upon receipt of instructions of a Holder on such record date in the manner
and on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the Company’s Articles of Association and the provisions of or governing
Deposited Securities, to vote or cause to be voted the Deposited Securities underlying such Holder’s ADRs in accordance with such instructions. The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the
Deposited Securities, other than in accordance with instructions received from the Holders, as of such record date. Insofar as the Custodian elects to act as Proxy Bank it shall not be acting as an agent, or otherwise on behalf of, the Depositary.

  
 The Depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion
in respect of any Deposited Securities. There is no guarantee that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such Holder to return any voting instructions to the Depositary
in a timely manner. 
  
 (13) Changes Affecting Deposited
Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), the Depositary may, in its discretion, amend this ADR or distribute additional or amended ADRs (with or without calling this ADR for exchange) or cash, securities or property on the record date set
by the Depositary therefor to reflect any change in par value, split-up, consolidation, cancellation or other reclassification of Deposited Securities, any Share Distribution or Other Distribution not distributed to Holders or any cash, securities
or property available to the Depositary in respect of Deposited Securities from (and the Depositary is hereby authorized to surrender any Deposited Securities to any person and to sell by public or private sale any property received in connection
with) any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, 

  

 A-8 

 
liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, and to the extent the Depositary does not so amend this
ADR or make a distribution to Holders to reflect any of the foregoing, or the net proceeds thereof, whatever cash, securities or property results from any of the foregoing shall constitute Deposited Securities and each ADS evidenced by this ADR
shall automatically represent its pro rata interest in the Deposited Securities as then constituted. 
  
 (14) Exoneration. The Depositary, the Company, their agents and each of them shall: (a) incur no liability (i) if any present or future law,
regulation of the United States, Federal Republic of Germany or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange, the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities, act of God, war, terrorism or other
circumstance beyond its control shall prevent, delay or subject to any civil or criminal penalty any act which the Deposit Agreement or this ADR provides shall be done or performed by it, or (ii) by reason of any exercise or failure to exercise any
discretion given it in the Deposit Agreement or this ADR; (b) assume no liability except to perform its obligations to the extent they are specifically set forth in this ADR and the Deposit Agreement without gross negligence or bad faith; (c) in the
case of the Depositary and its agents, be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or this ADR; (d) in the case of the Company and its agents hereunder be under
no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or this ADR, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all
expense (including fees and disbursements of counsel) and liability be furnished as often as may be required; or (e) not be liable for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any
person presenting Shares for deposit, any Holder, or any other person believed by it to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary, its agents and the Company may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice,
request, direction or other document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Depositary and its agents will not be responsible for (i) any failure to carry out any instructions to vote
any of the Deposited Securities or for the manner in which any such vote is cast, in each case to the extent the Depositary or its agents act without gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) for the effect of any such vote. The Depositary and
its agents may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in ADRs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Deposit Agreement or an ADR, the Depositary and its agents may fully respond to any and
all demands or requests for information maintained by or on its behalf in connection with the Deposit Agreement, any Holder or Holders, any ADR or ADRs or otherwise related hereto to the extent such information is requested or required by or
pursuant to any lawful authority, including without limitation laws, rules, regulations, administrative or judicial process, banking, securities or other regulators. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Depositary and its agents under certain
circumstances and the Depositary has agreed to indemnify the Company under certain circumstances. Neither the Company nor the Depositary nor any of their respective agents shall be liable to Holders or beneficial owners of interests in ADSs for any
indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision hereof. 
  
 (15) Resignation and Removal of Depositary; the Custodian. The Depositary may resign as Depositary by 30 days prior written notice of its election
to do so delivered to the 

  

 A-9 

 
Company, or be removed as Depositary by the Company by 30 days prior written notice of such removal delivered to the Depositary. The Depositary may appoint
substitute or additional Custodians and the term “Custodian” refers to each Custodian or all Custodians as the context requires. 
  
 (16) Amendment. Subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the ADRs and the Deposit Agreement may be amended by the Company and the Depositary,
provided that any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or
other such expenses), or that shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders, shall become effective 30 days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Holders. Every Holder of an ADR at the time any amendment
to the Deposit Agreement so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADR, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of
the Holder of any ADR to surrender such ADR and receive the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Any amendments or supplements which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed
by the Company and the Depositary) in order for (a) the ADSs to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act of 1933 or (b) the ADSs or Shares to be traded solely in electronic book-entry form and (ii) do not in either such case impose or
increase any fees or charges to be borne by Holders, shall be deemed not to prejudice any substantial rights of Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body or regulatory body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which
would require amendment or supplement of the Deposit Agreement or the form of ADR to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and the ADR at any time in accordance with such changed
rules. Such amendment or supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance. 
  
 (17) Termination. Upon the resignation or removal of the Depositary
pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may, and shall at the written direction of the Company, terminate the Deposit Agreement and this ADR by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in
such notice for such termination. After the date so fixed for termination, the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to receive and hold (or sell) distributions on Deposited
Securities and deliver Deposited Securities being withdrawn. As soon as practicable after the expiration of six months from the date so fixed for termination, the Depositary shall sell the Deposited Securities and shall thereafter (as long as it may
lawfully do so) hold in a segregated account the net proceeds of such sales, together with any other cash then held by it under the Deposit Agreement, without liability for interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of
ADRs not theretofore surrendered. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations in respect of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash. After the date so fixed for
termination, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary and its agents. 
  

 A-10 

 (18) Appointment. Each Holder and each person holding an interest in ADSs, upon acceptance of any
ADSs (or any interest therein) issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to (a) be a party to and bound by the terms of this Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), and (b)
appoint the Depositary its attorney-in-fact, with full power to delegate, to act on its behalf to take any and all actions contemplated in this Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), to adopt any and all procedures reasonably necessary to
comply with applicable law and to take such action as the Depositary in its reasonable discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s).
