CONSIDERATION  

        Section 3.1    Purchase Price.    Subject to the Post Closing Adjustments referenced in Section 3.3, the

509,643.40 CHF from the Purchase Price (the "Escrow Account"). The Escrow Funds shall be held in an Escrow Account by Purchaser, which account need not be a separate account but may be held in general

an established indemnified obligation ("Indemnified Obligation") as may hereinafter arise pursuant to Section 7.3. In the event that the Escrow Funds are insufficient to cover the amounts
referenced in (i) and (ii) above, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall remain liable for such amounts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

        If
the Purchaser is entitled to money from the Escrow Account as a Balance Sheet Adjustment, or with respect to an Indemnified Obligation, then such amounts shall be credited against the
Escrow Funds. 

        Any
Escrow Funds remaining unpaid to Purchaser, or not credited against the Escrow Funds for the account of Purchaser, shall be released to Seller, with accrued interest, on the Escrow
Stop Date. 

        Section 3.3    Balance Sheet Adjustments.    Within forty-five (45) days following Closing,
the Purchaser shall procure that the Companies prepare the Closing Balance Sheets reflecting the Net Equity of the respective Companies as of Closing. The Closing Balance Sheets shall be prepared in
accordance with Swiss GAAP, consistently applied. In the event that the Net Equity of the Companies as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheets are greater than the Net Equity of the Companies on the
Agreed Balance Sheets, then Purchaser shall remit such difference to Seller as an adjustment to Purchase Price within thirty (30) days, and (ii) in the event that the Net Equity of the
Companies as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheets are less that the Net Equity of the Companies on the Agreed Balance Sheets, then the Seller shall remit such difference to Purchaser as a decrease

        (c)  Any
and all liabilities of Seller which relate to the ownership of the Shares or the operation of the Companies prior to the Closing Date that are not expressly assumed
or waived by 

7

 

Purchaser under this Agreement, including but not limited to liabilities arising from or related to any tax due, or to be due, and penalties and interest related thereto, imposed on the Companies
with respect to any period prior to the Closing Date; and 

        (d)  Any
and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, damages, costs and expenses, including but not limited to, attorney fees and expenses
as shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, incident to any of the foregoing or incurred in investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the imposition thereof, or in

agents, and other control persons harmless from, against and in respect of the following:

        Section 7.3    Indemnification Procedures.    In seeking indemnification under Article 7.1 or 7.2, the
Parties agree to abide by the following procedure: 

        (a)  For
the purposes of this Article 7.3, the term "Indemnitee" shall mean the person(s) entitled, or claiming to be entitled, to be indemnified pursuant in the
provisions of Article 7.1 or 7.2 hereof. The term "Indemnitor" shall mean the person(s) having the obligation to indemnify pursuant to such provisions. 

        (b)  An
Indemnitee shall promptly give the Indemnitor written notice of any matter which an Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of an
indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of
this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is being claimed or arises. If an Indemnitee shall receive notice of any claim by a third party which is or may be subject to
indemnification (a "Third Party Claim") the Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim and shall permit the Indemnitor, at its option, to participate in the
defense of such Third Party Claim by counsel of its own at its own costs and expense. If, however, the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder against
all losses that may result from such Third Party Claim (subject to the limitations set forth herein), then the Indemnitor shall be entitled, at its option, to assume and control the defense of such
Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice. In the event the Indemnitor exercises its rights to undertake the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall
co-operate with the Indemnitor in such defense and make available to the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in its
possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnitor. Similarly, in the event the 

8

 

Indemnitee is directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available in it all such
witnesses, records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnitee. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the
Indemnitor without the written consent of the Indemnitee, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money by the Indemnitor. No Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the
Indemnitor shall be settled by the Indemnitee without the written consent of the Indemnitor 

        Section 7.4    Survival of Representations Warranties and Indemnity.    All representations and warranties made
by the Parties in this Agreement or in any certificate document or instrument furnished in connection herewith, and the indemnification obligations contained in this Agreement, shall survive the
Closing and any investigation at any time before or after Closing made by or on behalf of the Parties hereto and shall expire on the first anniversary of the Closing Date,  provided, however, that
(i) any claim which is submitted in writing to the indemnifying Party prior to such first anniversary may still be
enforced thereafter, and (ii) any claim relating to Seller's representations made in Section 6.1 (n) (Taxes and Duties) may still be raised after the first anniversary of the
Closing Date, but not later than one year after notification of the respective claims to Purchaser by the tax authorities or social security institutions. The limitations, time limits and Purchaser's
investigation and notification and other duties under articles 200, 201 and 210 of the Swiss Code of Obligations are hereby expressly waived. 

ARTICLE 8

CONFIDENTIALITY  

        Section 8.1    Confidentiality.    The Parties agree to preserve the confidential nature of the Confidential
Information which pertains to the other Party (the "Controlling Party") and to take any and all necessary steps to insure that such Information is not revealed to third parties or to any person
unauthorized in writing by the Controlling Party, it being understood that any Confidential Information pertaining to the Companies shall be deemed to pertain to Seller up until (but not including)
the Closing Date, and to Purchaser as of the Closing Date. The responsibilities set forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement unless the prior written consent of the Controlling
Party has been obtained or unless any such information has previously been publicly disclosed. Should the other Party be ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or administrative authority to
disclose this Agreement or confidential information pertaining to the Controlling Party, it shall give written notice to the Controlling Party before making any disclosure not permitted by this
Section, shall use its best efforts to either resist disclosure or disclose solely subject to an attorneys eyes-only protective order or such other protective order as the Controlling
Party shall approve. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 9

        Section 9.1    Termination of Agreement.    This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated
hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to Closing:
