Since Dr. Klinkhammer joined our Company on April 1, 1996, and is the most senior member of our Management Board, the wording of his agreement deviates from the standard agreement in language, but not in substance, and certain details, which the Company believes are insignificant, differ from the standard agreement in sections 2(1), 2(3), 3(3), 4(1), 4(3), 4(4), 4(6), 4(7), 6(1), 6(3), 7(3), 8(2), 10, 12(2), 14(3) and in the post-contractual non-compete agreement. Also, the insurance amounts in section 7(1)(a) and (b) differ and are approximately 23.3% less. With his re-appointment as a Board Member starting April 1, 2006, Dr. Klinkhammer receives the aligned actual Board Member contract wording.

(2)
Lothar Pauly's contract is redactionally revised in the wording of chapter 4, relating to the target setting and achieving. This deviation from the other Board Members' agreements is only in language, but not in substance. The Company believes this to be insignificant.
