The Executive Director transfers any copyrights, trademark rights, design rights, rights with respect to inventions and patents as well as any other IP-rights she obtains during her work for the Company exclusively, unrestricted in time, territory and content and sub-licensable to the Company as far as the rights: a) arise from the Executive Director’s obligatory work for the Company, or b) arise from other orders by the Company, or c) are predominantly based on the experience, know-how or works from the Company, or d) are developed mainly during the Executive Director’s usual working hours in or for the Company. If the rights can be transferred in their entirety the Executive Director transfers such entire rights to the Company. The Company accepts the transfer of rights. The Company is not obliged to register, use or exploit the rights. References to “the Company” in this Sec. 8 shall be deemed to include references to any of its Affiliates. 2.

The Executive Director approves of the publication of the works by the Company. The Executive Director expressly waives the right to be named as author/creator ( Sec. 13 UrhG) insofar as in the individual case this is uncustomary or impossible due to the nature of the work. The Executive Director approves of any alterations of the works under consideration of the Company’s moral or personal rights. The Company may refuse the Executive Director’s right to access to the works ( Sec. 25 UrhG) if this requires a disproportionately high effort.

EXHIBIT 10.1 6. The remuneration pursuant to Sec. 2 of this agreement is deemed also as a remuneration for the transfer of rights and any required actions the Executive Director has to undertake. The Executive Director is not entitled to claim further remuneration. This does not apply to any indispensable claims. 7. In respect of works that are not linked to the Executive Director’s work for the Company, but concern the Company’s line of business the Executive Director shall during the validity of this contract inform the Company without undue delay by way of a respective written notification. In the notification the Executive Director shall give all information about the work and its creation that is needed for the Company to assess if the work is a so called free work. Before the Executive Director exploits a free work in another way, she shall at first offer the Company the at least non-exclusive, unlimited as to territory, time and content, assignable and sub-licensable rights of use and exploitation in any way then known or in the future developed to such free Works against payment of an appropriate compensation. 8. If the Executive Director intends to integrate open source software into works, she must notify the Company by email regarding this precisely stating the open source components and the applicable licensed application hereto. It may only be implemented, if and after the Company approved by email. When implanting Open Source Software the Executive Director has to ensure to comply with the respective provider’s license terms. The Executive Director is obligated to summarize all open source components implemented in works in tabular form stating the name of the open source component, the license of the open source project as well as the respective license version; after implementation of the respective component and without undue delay the Executive Director must provide the Company with this tabular form. For each open source component the Executive Director must use a separate row in the respective tabular form. 9. This section also applies to rights the Executive Director obtained prior to the effective date of this agreement in the course of her work for the Company, regardless of the form of this previous work (e.g. employment, freelancing, internship, etc.). Sec. 9 Term of Employment & Termination 1. The term of this agreement shall end on August 31, 2023 after which time it may be extended per consent and agreement of the Parties. 2. The right to terminate with immediate effect for cause is not restricted by provision. For cause shall in particular be assumed, if: a) the Executive Director infringes internal restrictions regarding the management imposed on her by the Company and the Company suffers damage as a result of it, or if the Executive Director repeats such infringements despite a formal warning notice; b) the Executive Director seriously infringes special instructions issued by the shareholder’s meeting, unless the shareholder’s meeting demands an illegal act; c) The Executive Director executes transactions without having obtained the prescribed consent.

EXHIBIT 10.1 3. Termination has to be given in text form (Textform). 4. If the appointment has been revoked for compelling reasons pursuant to Sec. 626 German Civil Code, the revocation will be deemed to have terminated this agreement with immediate effect for compelling reason as well. If no compelling reasons pursuant to Sec. 626 German Civil Code exists, the revocation shall be deemed to have terminated with ordinary notice period pursuant to (2) of this provision and effective as of the next possible date. 5. The Company is entitled to release the Executive Director from her duties at any time permanently or temporarily while continuing payment of the Executive Director’s remuneration under this agreement through the remainder of the term of this agreement. Sec. 10 Miscellaneous 1. This agreement embodies the entire contractual understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior written or oral agreements, between the Executive Director and the Company; provided, however, this agreement does not supersede the US-Contract or the Indemnification Agreement, dated December 18, 2020, between the Executive Director and the Company. 2. The assertion of claims solely based on documentary evidence (Urkundsverfahren) shall be excluded. 3. Any amendments or additions to this agreement – including this clause – shall be in writing. Sec. 305b German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) shall remain unaffected. 4. Should any provision of this agreement be or become void, the validity of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. In place of the invalid provision, a legally permissible provision shall be substituted that corresponds as closely as possible to the meaning and purpose of the invalid provision. 5. This agreement is governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Jurisdiction for all disputes in connection with this contract is the headquarters of the Company.
