(f)
Subject to the condition precedent (unter der aufschiebenden Bedingung) of the payments set forth in Section 5.2(c) and Section 5.2(e)(i), the Seller herewith sells the Seller Shares to the Purchaser including all ancillary rights (Nebenrechte) appertaining thereto, including the right to the profits (Gewinnbezugsrecht) for the current financial year of the Company as well as to profits for previous financial years of the Company which have not yet been distributed to the shareholders of the Company as of the Signing Date, provided that the Company may make a dividend distribution to its shareholders for the financial year 2016 up to an amount of approximately EUR 4,000,000 (four million Euros) ("2016 Dividend Distribution"), and the Purchaser herewith accepts such sale.
(g)
Subject to the condition precedent (unter der aufschiebenden Bedingung) of the payments set forth in Section 5.2(c) and Section 5.2(e)(i), the Seller herewith transfers (überträgt) the Seller Shares (including all ancillary rights (Nebenrechte) as described in Section 5.2(f)) to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser herewith accepts such transfer.
(h)
Prof. Dr. Stöcker shall procure that the Purchaser is recorded as the new owner of the Seller Shares in the share register of the Company.
(i)
After the Closing Events set out in Sections 5.2(c) and 5.2(e) have occurred and the sale and transfer of the Seller Shares to the Purchaser have become effective according to Sections 5.2(f) and 5.2(g)), Prof. Dr. Stöcker shall (i) exercise the options under all Option Agreements entered into by Prof. Dr. Stöcker by sending to the shareholders of the Company which have signed Option Agreements ("Option Shareholders") exercise declarations substantially in the form of Annex 5.2(i) and thereby transfer all Option Shares from the Option Shareholders to himself and (ii) initiate the payment of the purchase prices owed by him to the Option Shareholders under the Option Agreements to the Option Shareholders.
(j)
Prof. Dr. Stöcker shall procure that he is recorded as the new owner of the Option Shares in the share register of the Company.
(k)
With respect to each Option Share subject to the conditions precedent (unter der aufschiebenden Bedingung) of (i) the payments set forth in Section 5.2(e) and (ii) the exercise of the option under the respective Option Agreement by Prof. Dr. Stöcker for such Option Share as set out in Section 5.2(i), Prof. Dr. Stöcker herewith sells the Option Shares to the Purchaser including all ancillary rights (Nebenrechte) appertaining thereto, including the right to the profits (Gewinnbezugsrecht) for the current financial year of the Company as well as to profits for previous financial years of the Company which have not yet been distributed to the shareholders of the Company as of the Signing Date, provided that the Company may make the 2016 Dividend Distribution to its shareholders, and the Purchaser herewith accepts such sale.

5.2
A new Section 5.4 shall be added to the SPA which reads as follows:
"5.4
After the Closing, the Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain a confirmation by email or regular mail from each Option Shareholder that such Option Shareholder has received the purchase price for his Option Shares and the exercise declaration and approves content of the exercise declaration."
