4a                  Authorisation to the Board of Directors to issue warrants

4a.1          At the annual general meeting held on 22 April 2010, the Company
authorised the       Board of Directors of the Company to resolve on the issue
of warrants, which give                   holders a right to subscribe for up
to nominally DKK 15,000,000 shares in the    Company, to members of the
Executive Board and employees and to resolve on a                   related
capital increase. This authorisation shall apply until 21 April 2015 and is  
exercisable on one or several occasions. As the result of the proposal of
reduction of the share capital by reducing the denomination on all shares with
nominally DKK 9.00 from nominally DKK 10.00 to nominally DKK 1.00 adopted on
the general meeting on 5 November 2010, the nominal amount of the shares that
can be subscribed for according to warrants issued by the company's board of
directors has been reduced from up to nominally DKK 15,000,000 to up to
nominally DKK 1,500,000. As the result of the proposal of reduction of the
share capital by reducing the denomination on all shares with nominally DKK
0.90 from nominally DKK 1.00 to nominally DKK 0.90 adopted on the general
meeting on 17 December 2013, the nominal amount of the shares that can be
subscribed for according to warrants issued by the company's board of directors
has been reduced from up to nominally DKK 1,500,000 to up to nominally DKK
150,000. 



4a.2               The Company's shareholders shall have no pre-emption right
upon  the exercise by                     the Board of Directors of its
authority to issue warrants, be it in connection with            the issue of
warrants or in connection with the exercise of warrants. 



4a.3               The Board of Directors determines the exercise price,
however, it shall be no less than the market price of the Company's shares at
the time of the issue of the                      warrants in question. The
Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions      of the issue and
the exercise of warrants, including the recipient's legal rights in         the
event of a capital increase, capital reduction, issue of new warrants, issue of
    new convertible instruments of debt, the Company's liquidation, merger or
split,        which may occur prior to the date of exercise. 



4a.4               Pursuant to the provisions of the Danish Companies Act in
force from time to time,                      the Board of Directors may
reapply or reissue any lapsed non-exercised warrants,         provided that
such reapplication or reissue is made under the terms and conditions          
and within the time limits specified under this authority. Reapplication means
the     right of the Board of Directors to let another contractual party become
a party to    an already existing agreement on warrants. Re-issue means the
possibility for the       Board of Directors to re-issue new warrants under the
same authorisation if those             already issued have lapsed. 



4a.5          The Board of Directors is authorised until 21 April 2015 to
increase the share                capital of the Company on one or several
occasions by up to nominally DKK                 15,000,000 by way of cash
payment in connection with the exercise of its                   authorisation
to issue warrants. As the result of the proposal of reduction of the share
capital by reducing the denomination on all shares with nominally DKK 9.00 from
nominally DKK 10.00 to nominally DKK 1.00 adopted on the general meeting on 5
November 2010, the authority of the board of directors to exercise a capital
increase by one or several occasions with up to nominally DKK 15,000,000 by
cash contribution in relation to the exercising of the authorisation to issue
warrants has been reduced to up to DKK 1,500,000. As the result of the proposal
of reduction of the share capital by reducing the denomination on all shares
with nominally DKK 0.90 from nominally DKK 1.00 to nominally DKK 0.10 adopted
on the general meeting on 17 December 2013, the authority of the board of
directors to exercise a capital increase by one or several occasions with up to
nominally DKK 1,500,000 by cash contribution in relation to the exercising of
the authorisation to issue warrants has been reduced to up to DKK 150,000. 



4a.6               The new shares issued under the authorisation to issue
warrants shall be                negotiable instruments and carry the same
rights as the Company's existing      shares. The shares shall be bearer
shares, but may be registered in the name of            the holder in the
Company's register of shareholders. The Board of Directors shall              
lay down the other terms and conditions for effecting the capital increase,    
         including the date when the rights in respect of such new shares
attach. 



4a.7               A resolution of the Board of Directors to issue warrants
must be included in the      articles of association. The Board of Directors is
authorised to implement any such               amendments to the Company's
articles of association as may be necessitated by     an exercise of the
authorisation to issue warrants and by an exercise of such                     
 warrants. 



4a.8          Based on a decision by the Board of Directors on 23 June 2010 and
in accordance with the authority set out in clause 4a1 - 4a.7 of the Articles
of Association, the Board of Directors have issued warrants which entitle the
holders to subscribe for up to nominally DKK 12.880.000 shares (refer clause 4b
of the Articles of Association). As of the 23 June 2010, clauses 4a.1 - 4a.7
thus give authority to issue further warrants with right to subscribe for up to
nominally DKK 2,120,000 shares. As the result of the proposal of reduction of
the share capital by reducing the denomination on all shares with nominally DKK
9.00 from nominally DKK 10.00 to nominally DKK 1.00 adopted on the general
meeting on 5 November 2010, the nominal amount of the shares that can be
subscribed for according to warrants issued has been reduced from up to
nominally DKK 12,880,000 to up to nominally DKK 1,288,000 and Clauses 4a.1 -
4a. hereafter contain authority to issue further warrants to shares for up to
nominally DKK 212,000. As the result of the proposal of reduction of the share
capital by reducing the denomination on all shares with nominally DKK 0.90 from
nominally DKK 1.00 to nominally DKK 0.10 adopted on the general meeting on 17
December 2013, the nominal amount of the shares that can be subscribed for
according to warrants issued has been reduced from up to nominally DKK
1,288,000 to up to nominally DKK 128,800 and Clauses 4a.1 - 4a.7 hereafter
contain authority to issue further warrants to shares for up to nominally DKK
21,200. 



4b                  Warrants

4b.1          Based on a decision by the Board of Directors on 23 June 2010 and
in accordance with the authority set out in clause 4a of the Articles of
Association, the Board of Directors have issued 1,288,000 warrants, which
entitle the holders to subscribe for up to 1,288,000 shares of nominally DKK 10
each, or totally up to nominally DKK 12,880,000. In accordance with section 170
of the Danish Companies Act the full wording of the Board of Directors's
decision has been incorporated in the Articles of Association as Exhibit 1,
which constitutes an integrated part of the Articles of Association. In
addition, the Board of Directors has resolved on the related capital increase.
As the result of the proposal of reduction of the share capital by reducing the
denomination on all shares with nominally DKK 9.00 from nominally DKK 10.00 to
nominally DKK 1.00 adopted on the general meeting on 5 November 2010, the
1,288,000 warrants issued give the right to subscribe for up to 1,288,000
shares of nominally DKK 1.00, in total nominally DKK 1,288,000. As the result
of the proposal of reduction of the share capital by reducing the denomination
on all shares with nominally DKK 0.90 from nominally DKK 1.00 to nominally DKK
0.10 adopted on the general meeting on 17 December 2013, the 1,288,000 warrants
issued give the right to subscribe for up to 1,288,000 shares of nominally DKK
0.10, in total nominally DKK 128,800. 



4c                  Authorisation to the Board of Directors to issue warrants

4c.1          At the annual general meeting held on 29 April 2011, the Company

of additional warrants, which give holders a right to subscribe for up to
nominally DKK 1,500,000 shares in the Company, to employees and management of
the Company and affiliated companies and to resolve on a related capital
increase. This authorisation shall apply until 28 April 2016 and is exercisable
on one or several occasions. As the result of the proposal of reduction of the
share capital by reducing the denomination on all shares with nominally DKK
0.90 from nominally DKK 1.00 to nominally DKK 0.10 adopted on the general
meeting on 17 December 2013, the nominal amount of the shares that can be
subscribed for according to warrants issued by the company's board of directors
has been reduced from up to nominally DKK 1,500,000 to up to nominally DKK
150,000. 



4c.2               The Company's shareholders shall have no pre-emption right
upon the exercise by                      the Board of Directors of its
authority to issue warrants, be it in connection with            the issue of
warrants or in connection with the exercise of warrants. 



4c.3               The Board of Directors determines the exercise price,
however, it shall be no less than the market price of the Company's shares at
the time of the issue of the                      warrants in question. The
Board of Directors determines the terms and conditions      of the issue and
the exercise of warrants, including the recipient's legal rights in         the
event of a capital increase, capital reduction, issue of new warrants, issue of
    new convertible instruments of debt, the Company's liquidation, merger or
split,        which may occur prior to the date of exercise. 



4c.4               Pursuant to the provisions of the Danish Companies Act in
force from time to time,                      the Board of Directors may
reapply or reissue any lapsed non-exercised warrants,         provided that
such reapplication or reissue is made under the terms and conditions          
and within the time limits specified under this authority. Reapplication means
the     right of the Board of Directors to let another contractual party become
a party to    an already existing agreement on warrants. Re-issue means the
possibility for the       Board of Directors to re-issue new warrants under the
same authorisation if those             already issued have lapsed. 



4c.5          The Board of Directors is authorised until 28 April 2016 to

occasions by up to nominally DKK                 1,500,000 by way of cash
payment in connection with the exercise of its             authorisation to

reduction of the share capital by reducing the denomination on all shares with
nominally DKK 0.90 from nominally DKK 1.00 to nominally DKK 0.10 adopted on the
general meeting on 17 December 2013, the authority of the board of directors to
exercise a capital increase by one or several occasions with up to nominally
DKK 1,500,000 by cash contribution in relation to the exercising of the
authorisation to issue warrants has been reduced to up to DKK 150,000. 



4c.6          The new shares issued under the authorisation to issue warrants
as set out in clause 4c.1 shall be      negotiable instruments and shall carry
the same rights as the Company's existing shares. The shares shall be bearer
shares, but may be registered in the name of the holder in the Company's
register of shareholders. The Board of Directors shall lay down the other terms
and conditions for effecting the capital increase, including the date when the
rights in respect of such new shares attach. 



4c.7               A resolution of the Board of Directors to issue warrants
must be included in the      articles of association. The Board of Directors is
authorised to implement any such               amendments to the Company's
articles of association as may be necessitated by     an exercise of the
authorisation to issue warrants and by an exercise of such                     
 warrants.

state on its website how to obtain the forms in hard copy. In such cases, the
Company will send the forms to any shareholder who so requests. The related

9                   Admittance card, voting rights and qualified majority



9.1                Shareholders holding shares in the Company on the date of
registration, as defined in article 9.4 of the articles of association, are
entitled to attend the general meeting, provided that they have requested an
admittance card and provided proper proof of identity not later than three days
before the holding of the general meeting. 



9.2                At general meetings, each shareholder holds voting rights
pursuant to the following rules. 



9.3                A shareholder's right to vote at the Company's general
meetings or vote by post, cf. article 9.5 of the articles of association,
attaching to the shareholder's shares is determined in proportion to the shares
held by the shareholder on the date of registration, cf. article 9.4 of the
articles of association. Any disposal or acquisition of shares in the period
between the date of registration and the pertaining general meeting does not
affect voting rights at the general meeting or postal voting rights for use at
the general meeting. 



9.4                The date of registration is the date one week prior to the
holding of the general meeting. At the expiry of the date of registration, the
shares held by each of the Company's shareholders on the date of registration
must be calculated. The calculation is made on the basis of registrations of
shares made in the register of shareholders and duly evidenced notices to the
Company about any acquisition of shares not yet registered in the register of
shareholders, but received by the Company before the expiry of the date of
registration. To be eligible for entry into the register of shareholders and
inclusion in the calculation, notices of shareholdings must be evidenced by
presentation of documentation from the shareholder's account-holding
institution or other similar documentation which must not be more than two
weeks old. Such evidence must have been received by the Company before the
expiry of the date of registration. 



9.5                Instead of voting at the actual general meeting,
shareholders may choose to vote by post, i.e. vote in writing before the
holding of the general meeting. Shareholders who choose to vote by post must
send their postal vote to the Company so that the postal vote has been received
by the Company not later than the day before the holding of the general
meeting. A postal vote received by the Company cannot be revoked. 



9.6                General meetings of the Company are open to the press.



9.7                At the general meeting, each share amount of nominally DKK
0.10 entitles the holder to one vote. 



9.8                Shareholders are entitled to attend the general meeting by
proxy on presentation of a written and dated instrument of proxy. No time
restrictions or other restrictions apply to instruments of proxy, other than to
instruments of proxy issued to the Company Management, which cannot be issued
for longer than 12 months and can only be issued for a specific general meeting
with an agenda known in advance. 



9.9                An instrument of proxy may be revoked in writing by the
appointing shareholder at any time. 



9.10             The shareholder or the proxy may attend the general meeting
together with an adviser.
