to elect to the Buyer Board of Directors one person to be designated by Seller.
Seller's designee, or his successor(s), shall be entitled to be re-nominated for

and Seller shall cause the Deed of Foundation or Articles of Association of each
of KNC and Raba-Com to be amended so that there are no resolutions which require
the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors or Supervisory Board of such
companies.
-6-
6.3 The Danish Fund Shares. If Seller acquires, within twelve (12)
months of the date hereof, the shares of KNC and Raba-Com currently held by the
Danish Fund, Seller shall sell such shares to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase
such shares from Seller, on financial terms substantially similar to the
purchase and sale of the KNC Shares and Raba-Com Shares as set forth in this
Agreement.
6.4 Pre-emptive Rights. As of the date hereof, following consummation
of the transactions effectuated hereby, Seller owns 9.7% of the presently
outstanding shares of HTCC Common Stock. Seller's ownership of HTCC Common Stock
includes the Transaction Shares and 25,000 shares of HTCC Common Stock
previously purchased by Seller. In connection with any public or private
issuance of shares of HTCC Common Stock (an "Issuance") and provided Seller
continues to own at least 300,000 shares of HTCC Common Stock as of the date of
the Issuance, Buyer shall grant Seller the right for a thirty (30) day period
following any such Issuance to purchase such number of shares of HTCC Common
Stock sufficient to maintain Seller's percentage ownership interest in the
outstanding shares of HTCC Common Stock, with such percentage ownership interest
to be calculated immediately prior to the Issuance and with the number of shares
subject to such purchase right to be calculated after giving effect to the
Issuance. Seller must exercise such right within 30 days of such Issuance and
must pay the purchase price for such shares in cash (U.S. Dollars) concurrently
with the exercise of such right. The purchase price per share for such shares
shall be the greater of (x) the cash paid per share in the Issuance, (y) the
value assigned per share in the Issuance in a non-cash transaction, or (z) the
fair market value per share of HTCC Common Stock on the date of issuance. The
"fair market value" of a share of Common Stock means the average of the high and
low quoted sales price on the date in question (or, if there is no reported sale
on such date, on the last preceding date on which any reported sale occurred) of
a share on the American Stock Exchange, or, if the shares are not listed or
admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal United States securities
exchange registered under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, on which the
shares as listed or admitted to trading, or if the shares are not listed or
admitted to trading on any such exchange, the mean between the closing high bid
and low asked quotations with respect to a share on such date on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System, or any
similar system then in use, of if no such quotations are available, the fair
market value on such date of a share as the Committee shall determine. Customary
adjustments may be made in the number of shares offered to Seller in order to
eliminate fractional shares.
6.5 Future Financing. Buyer shall discuss with Seller, through Seller's
representative on Buyer's Board of Directors, the financing for any potential
acquisitions that Buyer may consider, which board discussion shall include the
possible financing of any such acquisition through equity financing provided by
Seller which equity financing could increase Seller's equity percentage
ownership of Buyer.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Indemnification by Each Seller. Seller does hereby indemnify and
hold Buyer harmless from and against the following:
-7-
(a) any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages,
deficiencies, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by Buyer or its
Affiliates resulting from any untrue representation, breach of warranty
or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained in
this Agreement, any document delivered by Seller pursuant to this
Agreement, or in any statement, exhibit, schedule or certificate
furnished or to be furnished to Buyer pursuant hereto or in connection
with the transactions provided for herein; and
(b) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims,
complaints, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses
suffered or incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, incident to any of the foregoing.
7.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer does hereby indemnify and hold
Seller harmless from and against the following:
(a) any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages,
deficiencies, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by Seller
resulting from any untrue representation, breach of warranty or
non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement by Buyer contained in this
Agreement or in any statement, exhibit, schedule or certificate
furnished or to be furnished by Buyer to Seller pursuant hereto or in
connection with the transactions provided for herein; and
(b) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims,
complaints, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses
suffered or incurred by Seller, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements, incident to any of the foregoing.
7.3 Notice of Third-Party Claims. If any action, suit or proceeding
shall be commenced against, or any claim or demand shall be asserted against
Buyer or Seller, in respect of which a party (Buyer or Seller) proposes to seek
indemnification under this Article VII, the party seeking indemnification (the
"Indemnitee") shall give prompt notice thereof to the other party (the
"Indemnitor"), and shall permit the Indemnitor, at its sole cost and expense, to
assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom;
provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the option, at its own
expense, to participate in the defense thereof; and provided further, that the
failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve
the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent
that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
Failure by the Indemnitor to notify the Indemnitee of its election to defend any
such action within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof shall be deemed a
waiver by the Indemnitor of its right to defend such action. In the defense of
such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnitor shall not,
without the written consent of the Indemnitee: (a) consent to the entry of any
judgment, or (b) enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. If such defense is unsuccessful or abandoned by the Indemnitor,
then, upon the Indemnitor's failure to pay an amount sufficient to discharge any
such claim or judgment, the Indemnitee may pay and settle the same and the
indemnitor's liability shall be conclusively established by any such payment. If
the Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of any such claim or litigation
resulting therefrom, the Indemnitee may defend against and settle such claim or
litigation in such manner as it may seem appropriate and the Indemnitor shall
promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all expenses, legal or
otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense against or
settlement of such claim or litigation. If no settlement is made, the Indemnitor
shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of any judgment rendered
with respect to such claim or such litigation and of all expenses, legal or
otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense thereof.
