None of the Acquired Companies or Management Sellers or, to the best of Management Sellers’ knowledge, HCHK was, is or will be required to make any filing with or give any notice to, or to obtain any consent or approval from, any Person in connection with: (a) the execution, delivery

or performance of this Agreement; or (b) the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

All the Shares to be sold pursuant to Article 2.1 above have been validly issued and fully paid in.

4.6 Minutes of Shareholders’ Meetings and of Board of Directors’ Meetings

Management Sellers have disclosed to Purchaser true and complete copies of all the minutes of shareholders’ meetings and directors’ meetings of each of the Acquired Companies held since 1 January 2005. Neither the shareholders’ meeting nor the Board of Directors of any of the Acquired Companies have adopted any material resolutions since 1 January 2005 which are not recorded in these minutes.

4.7 Financial Statements and Related Information; Bank Accounts

Schedule 1 contains true and complete copies of the consolidated balance sheets and profit and loss statements of the Acquired Companies as of 31 January of each of 2005, 2006 and 2007 and as of 31 May 2007 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements: (a) are correct and complete in all material respects; (b) have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by IAS, consistently applied, except for the Financial Statements as of 31 May 2007 which have been prepared substantially in accordance with such standards but in accordance with the Company’s usual management reporting format with respect to presentation; (c) show a true and fair view of the financial condition of the Acquired Companies as of the respective dates thereof; and (d) other than the Financial Statements as of 31 May 2007, have been approved without reservation by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Company’s auditors.

In particular, on the dates of the respective Financial Statements, the Acquired Companies had no more liabilities than those recorded on the relevant balance sheets (including the notes and/or attachments thereto). The Acquired Companies have no liabilities (whether accrued or contingent, matured or unmatured, due or to become due, whether or not required to be reflected in financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by IAS, consistently applied) other than those: (a) identified as such in the “liabilities” column of the Financial Statements dated 31 May 2007 or in the notes thereto; (b) incurred by the Acquired

Companies since 31 May 2007 in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the Acquired Companies’ past practices; or (c) under the Acquired Company Contracts that are expressly set forth and identifiable by reference to the text of such Acquired Company Contracts.

No Person that has ever acted as a distributor, reseller or sales representative (or in any similar capacity) for any of the Acquired Companies is owed or entitled to any commission, fee or other compensation from any Acquired Company, other than commissions, fees or compensation that have become due since 31 May 2007 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and in accordance with the immediately following sentence. The commissions, fees and other compensation due (and to become due) to each Person who currently serves as a distributor, reseller or sales representative (or in any similar capacity) for any of the Acquired Companies are based on commission percentages not higher than the commission percentages described in the Disclosure Letter.

As of the date hereof none of the Acquired Companies has, and as of the Closing none of the Acquired Companies shall have, any outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money (or any similar indebtedness outstanding).

In computing the amount of the damage or loss, any insurance proceeds paid in full or partial coverage of such damage and any increase in insurance costs and payment of deductibles, as well as the net tax impact that such a loss or damage or such indemnification payment may have on the financial condition of the Company or the Party(ies) concerned, e.g. by way of the tax deduction which the relevant Company or the Party(ies) may benefit from due to the occurrence of the damage or by way of income recognition, shall be taken into consideration (it being understood that: (a) in no event shall Purchaser or any Acquired Company be required to make a claim under any insurance policy prior to making a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Account or any Seller in respect of any matter for which indemnification might be available hereunder; and (b) the reservation in clause “(a)” of this sentence does not relieve Purchaser or the Acquired Companies from the duty of making a claim under a relevant insurance policy of an Acquired Company to the extent that: (i) such insurance policy was in effect as of or prior to the Closing; and (ii) the conditions to recovery under such policy are met).

If any amount is paid by one Party to the other Party(ies) pursuant to this Article 7 in respect of any breach of representation or warranty, then to the extent that the indemnified Party(ies) later recover(s) in respect of such matter any amount from a third party (other than insurance proceeds) which, when added to the indemnification payment received pursuant to this Article 7, exceeds the amount of the damage or loss (calculated in accordance with the foregoing paragraphs of this Article 7.2), the indemnified Party(ies) will promptly pay to the other Party(ies) the amount by which such excess exceeds all costs incurred by the indemnified Party(ies) in recovering such amounts from such third party. Purchaser will, upon request of the Sellers’ Representative, deliver to the Sellers’ Representative, and the Sellers’ Representative will, upon request of Purchaser, cause to be delivered to Purchaser, copies of all relevant and material correspondence with the third party from whom such recovery was obtained, in each

case so long as: (a) the Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser, as the case may be, agrees to treat such information as confidential; and (b) the Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser, as the case may be, is not prohibited by such third party or by any Governmental Body from disclosing such information.

7.3 Term of Warranties and Representations

Except with respect to a Specified Representation, a Claim made by Purchaser pursuant to Article 7.1(a)(i) or a Claim made by a Seller against Purchaser pursuant to Article 7.1 may be validly made only until the date which is the first anniversary of the Closing Date (it being understood that a Claim made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall survive until such time as such Claim is fully and finally resolved).

A Claim made with respect to the Specified Representations set forth in Articles 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 and in the fourth paragraph of Article 4.7 pursuant to Article 7.1(a)(i) and a Claim made with respect to Article 7.1(b)(i) may be validly made only until the date which is the third anniversary of the Closing Date (it being understood that such a Claim made prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date shall survive until such time as such Claim is fully and finally resolved).

A Claim made pursuant to Article 7.1(a)(i) with respect to the Specified Representations set forth in Article 4.13 may be validly made only until the date which is the expiration date of the statute of limitation for claims in respect of Taxes (it being understood that such a Claim made prior to this expiration date shall survive until such time as such Claim is fully and finally resolved).

A Claim made pursuant to Article 7.1(a)(ii) or Article 7.1(b)(ii) may be validly made at any time following the Closing Date (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to constitute an extension of any specific duration of any relevant covenant set forth in the respective provisions of Article 8).

The Parties specifically agree that this section replaces and excludes Articles 201 (Notification of Defects) and 210 (Statute of Limitation) of the Swiss Code of Obligations.

7.4 Limitations of Liability

     7.4.1 In General

The relevant Seller(s) shall not be liable for, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to bring, any Claim under or in connection with this Agreement if and to the extent that:

          (a) the matter to which the Claim relates was disclosed in the Disclosure Letter (not including by virtue of any general references to the data room) or in the Schedules to this Agreement; or

          (b) the Claim results from or is increased by the passing of, or any change in, after the Closing Date, any Legal Requirement of any Governmental Body.

          (b) the amount of the specific item of damage or loss incurred by Purchaser or any of the Acquired Companies in connection with a particular breach of a representation and warranty (and/or series of representations and warranties relating to the same underlying facts or circumstances) referred to in Article 7.1(a)(i) exceeds CHF 10,000.

     7.4.3 Cap of Liability

          (b) the maximum liability of any Management Seller for Claims made with respect to the Specified Representations (other than the representation contained in the fourth paragraph of Article 4.7) and of any Financial Seller and Seller 10 for Claims made pursuant to Article 7.1(b)(i) shall correspond, in respect of each liable Seller, to 100% of the part of the Purchase Price received by such Seller.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that there is no liability cap with respect to breaches of covenants or undertakings contained in this Agreement.

7.5 Procedure with Third Parties and Authorities

If any authorities or other third parties raise claims against Purchaser or any Acquired Company and such claims might give rise to a Claim by Purchaser or if the Company in connection with a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking has to enforce any rights or claims against authorities or other third parties, such claims (and any related) proceedings and/or negotiations, shall, at Purchaser’s option, be controlled by Purchaser. Purchaser shall keep the Sellers’ Representative reasonably informed as to the status of (and any material developments

in) such claims, proceedings and/or negotiations that are controlled by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim, proceeding and/or negotiation without the consent of any other Person; provided, however, that: (a) if Purchaser intends to seek indemnification hereunder with respect to such claim, proceeding or negotiation, Purchaser shall consult with the Sellers’ Representative prior to effecting any such settlement, adjustment or compromise; and (b) if Purchaser settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim, proceeding and/or negotiation without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of losses or damages incurred by Purchaser in connection with such claim, proceeding or negotiation (it being understood that: (i) if Purchaser seeks indemnification from Sellers with respect to such claim, proceeding or negotiation, any arbitrator(s) selected to resolve a dispute relating to the amount, if any, of damage or loss due to Purchaser in connection with such indemnification claim shall consider all evidence presented by the Parties, including evidence relating to the quality and intensity with which the defense of such claim, proceeding or negotiation was conducted and whether the conduct of such defense was affected in any way by Purchaser’s existing or anticipated relationship with the third-party claimant; and (ii) if Purchaser requests that the Sellers’ Representative consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Sellers’ Representative shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent).

7.6 Fraud
