Article 13

(Transfer)

(1) A Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may transfer its contractual position including, for the avoidance of doubt, all rights of the Existing Lender under and with respect to the Guarantee of the Guarantor (Article 12) hereunder in full or in partial amounts of EUR 1,000,000,00 - or any higher amount divisible by EUR 500,000 – to any credit institutions, private banks, the German Central Bank, the European Central Bank or a member of the European System of Central Banks, KfW, development banks,co-operative banks of theco-operative banking sector, savings banks, regulated investment management companies (Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaften), insurance undertakings under private or

public law, regulated pension schemes, pension funds or professional pension funds, whereby the aforementioned persons need to be located in a member state of the European Union, Switzerland or the UK (the “New Lender”), by way of assumption of contract (Vertragsübernahme). Such a transfer shall be valid, subject to the Paying Agent having received at least two Banking Business Days prior to such transfer date a copy of a duly executed transfer certificate from the New Lender, on the date set forth in the transfer certificate (as attached hereto in Annex 2) (the “Transfer Agreement”). Each Debtor hereby irrevocably consents to any future transfer of a Lender to a New Lender made in accordance with this Loan Agreement. The New Lender shall provide the Borrower a copy of such Transfer Certificate without undue delay (unverzüglich). A transfer by way of assumption shall not be subject to any restrictions as set out in this Paragraph (1), if an event of default giving rise to an extraordinary termination right as set out in Article 11, Paragraph (1) has occurred. In the case that the Paying Agent shall receive a Transfer Certificate less than 15 Banking Business Days prior the Interest Payment Date / Repayment Date, the New Lender approves that any payment made by the Borrower (via the Paying Agent) to the Existing Lender shall release the Borrower from its payment obligations. By signing of this Loan Agreement the Borrower (and the Guarantor) provides its prior approval to any such transfer in accordance with Paragraph (1) and (2) by the Existing Lender.

(2) The Debtor agrees that the Lender is entitled to assign, transfer or pledge the claims or any other rights under this Loan in the context of its own refinancing activities, release of equity or risk diversification to a refinancing institution or another legal instrument for refinancing to the European Central Bank, another member of the European System of central banks, another central bank, a development bank or to another refinancing credit institution without regard to the obligations named in Paragraph (1) It is expressly understood that the effectiveness of such an assignment for collateralisation purposes shall not be subject to any formal requirements or any obligation to apply for approval by or to notify the Debtor. If the loan is assigned to the European Central Bank or a national central bank in the Eurosystem for purposes of collateralisation, it is expressly understood that the effectiveness of such an assignment for collateralisation purposes shall not be subject to any requirements or any obligation to notify the Borrower or Guarantor. This also applies to reassignment and assignments associated with realisation scenarios involving national central banks within the Eurosystem. For the avoidance of doubt, in all cases of a disposal under this Paragraph (2) a Lender will continue to collect interest and capital payments.

(3) As of the transfer date specified in the relevant Transfer Agreement, the New Lender shall be bound by the terms of this Loan and shall - to the extent that they are transferred - assume the same rights and obligationsvis-à-vis the Borrower and the Guarantor which it had assumed had such New Lender originally been a party to the Loan as a Lender. The Existing Lender shall lose its rights and shall be released from its obligations under this Loan to the extent as such rights and obligations are transferred to the New Lender

(4) The Lenders shall be entitled to pass on Necessary Information relating to the Borrower or Guarantor for the purpose of reselling or transferring the Loan to third parties to which this this loan may be transferred in accordance with Paragraph (1) and (2) without special consent of the Borrower. The Borrower and the Guarantor in so far declare their acceptance and to this extent explicitly release the Lender from the bank secrecy. “Necessary information” shall include the loan amount, interest rate, repayment date, name and address of the Borrower, rating, the Loan Agreement and any ancillary information, including annual accounts and such documents that are requested in conjunction with such a transfer and that are usually submitted in this context to the latter.

Article 14

(Rights and Obligations of a Lender)

(1) The obligations of a Lender under the Loan are not joint and several (gesamtschuldnerisch). No Lender is liable for the obligations of any other Lender under the Loan Agreement.

(2) The rights of a Lender under the Loan are not joint and several (gesamtgläubigerisch). The amounts outstanding at any time hereunder from the Borrower to any Lender shall constitute a separate and independent debt and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce exclusively its rights arising out of this Loan Agreement independently of any other party to this Loan Agreement.

Article 15

(Set-off Clause)

Each of the Debtor may only set off undisputed or finally judicially determined (endgültig rechtsgültig festgestellt) claims with any claims on the part of the Lender. Each Debtor, however, waives any right of set-off and the exercise of any rights of pledge, retention and other rights against the Lender, as well as in the event of the insolvency of the Lender, through which the receivables under this Loan Agreement might be impaired if the claims of the Lender belong to the tied assets of an insurance company pursuant to the German Insurance Supervision Act (“VAG”) (in the relevant applicable version) or to cover assets for bonds and debentures set up according to any other applicable statutory regulations or if the assignment is made to a national central bank within the Eurosystem for collateralisation purposes. The latter also applies in relation to the Debtor and any legal successors of the Lender.

Article 16

(Representations and Warranties)

Each Debtor hereby represents and warrants by way of an independent guarantee irrespective of fault (selbständige und verschuldensunabhängige Garantie) to the Lender as of the date of this Loan Agreement and being repeated as of the Disbursement Date):

c. that the execution of this Loan Agreement does not contravene (i) any law, rule or decree, applicable to the Debtor, or (ii) any agreement, the Debtor is a party to, except for any conflicts which, individually or in aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) the articles of association of each Debtor. Each Debtor is duly entitled and not otherwise legally limited to fulfil its payment obligations in compliance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement.

d. No event or series of events (other than as disclosed on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K) has occurred in relation to the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and no circumstance has arisen in relation to the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries which has had a Material Adverse Effect since the date of its audited consolidated financial statements of the Guarantor and its Subsidiares for the financial year ended 31 December 2017.
