5

3.4		No Rights of Designated Transferees

Purchaser shall procure that the Designated Transferees will act accordingly and not seek any rights or claims against Sellers or Sellers’ Representative under or in connection with these sales and transfers other than the Specified Terms.

4.

The failure (including by way of inability) of any Party to perform any action required to be taken by it under any of these Sections 4.1.1(a), 4.1.1(b) and 4.1.1(c) shall not relieve such Party or any of its Affiliates to take any other action under Sections 4.1.1(a), 4.1.1(b) and 4.1.1(c); it being understood that the individual actions under each of Sections 4.1.1(a), 4.1.1(b) and 4.1.1(c) shall be taken simultaneously (Zug-um-Zug) by the Parties to such actions.
	4.1.3		Final Structure. Purchaser hereby confirms its current intent not to request or make any further changes to the acquisition structure contemplated by this Amendment, it being understood that the Parties can mutually agree otherwise (without being obligated to do so).

4.2 Sale and Transfer of the Companies

4.2.1 The obligations of the Parties under the Share Purchase Agreement to transfer the Shares in the Companies on the Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Closing Conditions, pursuant to Section 8 of the Share Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, shall remain unaffected by the New Transfers.

	8.1.2		Promissory Notes. The amount and value of the Genius GmbH Note, the Genpharm Note, the Alphapharm Note and the Merck France Note shall be solely determined by Purchaser but may not contravene, or conflict with, the Purchase Price allocation under the Share Purchase Agreement, in particular as set forth in Exhibit 4.1.4 to the Share Purchase Agreement.

16

			applicable month, i.e., in such case only the Closing Date but not the Effective Date following shall be the next Business Day following the day determined by application of Section 8.1.1 (a) of the Share Purchase Agreement.
	8.2.2		Clarification of Section 4.1. The Parties hereby clarify that the reference to “with economic effect as of the Effective Date” contained in Section 3.1.1 of the Share Purchase Agreement shall only mean that the Purchase Price is determined on such date in accordance with Sections 4 and 5 of the Share Purchase Agreement.

8.3		Exchange Rates
		For purposes of preparing the Effective Date Financial Statements and the Final Purchase Price Statement, any assets and liabilities (including any adjustments thereof) denominated in a currency other than EUR shall be converted into EUR on the basis of the exchange rate as of the Effective Date as used for the quarterly financial statements of Merck KGaA.

	9.1.2		No Indemnification by Sellers. Sellers and Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable for, and shall not have to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser or any Group Company for, and Section 12 of the Share Purchase Agreement shall not apply to, any incremental Taxes for any Pre-Effective Date Period resulting from any New Transfer in accordance with this Amendment.
	9.1.3		No Responsibility of Sellers. Any actions, results, effects and transactions contemplated by, or taken in connection with, this Amendment, in particular the New Transfers, in amendment of the transaction structure under Section 3.1 of the Share Purchase Agreement shall be entirely and exclusively Purchasers’ responsibility and risk.

In the event that Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser shall not have performed any Closing Actions required to be performed by it on the Closing Date unless (i) Purchaser was not required to perform such Closing Action pursuant to Section 7.1.3 of the Share Purchase Agreement or (ii) Purchaser or its Affiliates were not required to take the steps required by them under the respective missing Closing Action because Sellers or Sellers Affiliate failed to take the steps required by them under the same Closing Action, and as consequence thereof Closing has not occurred prior to the expiry of 270 days after the Signing Date (the “Outside Date”), then Purchaser shall further fully indemnify and hold harmless (freistellen) Sellers, Sellers’ Affiliates and the Group Companies, as well as Allgemeine Beteiligungsgesellschaft Genius Deutschland GmbH, for any Taxes, costs, losses, expenses and other quantifiable disadvantages resulting from any New Transfer on, before or after the Closing Date, including any actions, events or circumstances in connection with the unwinding of any New Transfer within one month after the earlier of (A) the date on which either Purchaser shall notify Sellers’ Representative, or Sellers’ Representative shall notify Purchaser, respectively, in writing of its intention not to consummate the Closing and (B) the Outside Date. The unwinding of any New Transfers shall be done in a manner and at a time to be determined at Sellers’ and Sellers’ Representatives sole discretion. Sellers and Sellers’ Affiliates shall be under a general obligation in accordance with Section 254 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and shall use their best efforts to mitigate the amount of any damages of Purchaser or its Affiliates under this indemnity.
