ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER PARTIES
The Seller Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Purchaser Parties as follows:
2.1 Organization of the Seller Parties. Each Seller Party (a) is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (b) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and (c) is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or license necessary, except in the case of clause (c) where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing has not had and could not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect
3
on the ability of any Seller Party to perform its obligations under, and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement (a Seller Material Adverse Effect).
2.2 Corporate Power; Authorization and Validity of Agreement. Each Seller Party has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller Parties of this Agreement and the consummation by each of them of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller Parties. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Seller Party and, assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by the Purchaser Parties, is a valid and binding obligation of each Seller Party, enforceable against such Seller Party in accordance with its terms (except insofar as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies).
2.3 Shares. The Sellers are the record and beneficial owners of their respective Shares, and other than the Shares and except for the Remaining OpenTV Shares, the Seller Parties and their Controlled Affiliates do not own of record or beneficially any shares of OpenTV or any capital stock of its Subsidiaries. Each Seller has good and valid title to its Shares. All of the Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are free and clear of any Liens and are not subject to any Restrictions, including, without limitation, Restrictions relating to the Investors Rights Agreement, the Sun Agreements and any other Contract relating to the Shares to which any Seller Party is a party or pursuant to which any Seller Party has any rights or obligations. Assuming each of the Purchasers have the requisite corporate power and corporate authority to own the Shares, upon delivery to the Purchasers at the Closing of certificates evidencing the Shares, duly endorsed by Sellers for transfer to the Purchasers, and upon Sellers receipt of the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement and recordation of the transfer of the Shares on the OpenTV share register, good and valid title to the Shares will pass to the Purchasers, free and clear of any Liens or Restrictions, other than Liens and Restrictions arising from acts of the Purchaser Parties or any Person that was an Affiliate of the Purchaser Parties prior to the Closing, and the Purchasers will possess all of the rights, privileges and preferences relating to the Shares as set forth in the Memorandum of Association of OpenTV (along with the Articles of Association of OpenTV, the OpenTV Charter) (including the right to exercise the full voting power of the Shares as set forth in the OpenTV Charter). The certificates representing the Shares will not contain any legends other than required for compliance with the Securities Act. For the avoidance of doubt, no obligations of any kind relating to the Shares that arise from the Control Premium Letter shall pass to any of the Purchaser Parties or attach to the Shares and such obligations that survive the Closing, if any, shall remain obligations of the Seller Parties. Liberty and OpenTV have entered into a letter agreement with the Purchaser as a named third party beneficiary pursuant to which OpenTV acknowledges and agrees to the matters stated in the immediately preceding sentence.
2.4 Status of Certain Agreements; Charter Amendment.

Upon reasonable notice, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Seller Parties will, in the case of clause (a), and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause OpenTV and each of its Subsidiaries to, in the case of clause (b), afford Kudelski and its accountants, attorneys and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours (and at such other times as the Parties hereto agree) during the period prior to the earlier of termination of this Agreement or Closing to (a) all of the Seller Parties properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records relating to OpenTV and its Subsidiaries and held by them in their capacity as members of OpenTV and (b) all properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records of OpenTV and its Subsidiaries and all other information in the possession of OpenTV and OpenTVs Subsidiaries concerning the business, properties and personnel of OpenTV and its Subsidiaries as the Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, that the Parties will reasonably cooperate to minimize, to the extent practicable, the disruption in the day-to-day activities of the Seller Parties, OpenTV and its Subsidiaries as a result of the investigation described in this sentence. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.2 Confidentiality.
16
not use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in any manner detrimental to the Disclosing Party. For purposes of this Section 5.2(a), Confidential Information of a Party means all confidential or proprietary information about such Party (and, in the case where a Seller Party is the Disclosing Party, confidential or proprietary information about OpenTV and its Subsidiaries) that is furnished by it or its Representatives (or, in the case of a Seller Party, by OpenTV and its Subsidiaries) to the other party or the other partys Representatives, regardless of the manner in which it is furnished, unless (i) the Disclosing Party indicates otherwise in writing, (ii) the information was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this paragraph by the Receiving Party or its Representatives, (iii) the information was independently developed by the Receiving Party or its Representatives without the use of any confidential information provided by the Disclosing Party, (iv) the information was or becomes available to the Receiving Party or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party, or (v) the information was within the possession of the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives prior to being furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party, provided, that, with respect to clauses (iv) and (v) above, the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal obligation of confidentiality in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Receiving Party is required (other than as a result of action taken by it or its Representatives primarily for the purpose of causing such disclosure requirements to arise) in any judicial or administrative proceeding or by any regulatory or judicial authority or pursuant to any applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of the Commission, the NASDAQ Stock Market or of any securities exchange or association on which such Receiving Partys securities are traded) to disclose any Confidential Information, then any disclosure of such information to the extent so required shall not be prohibited by this paragraph; provided, that such disclosure shall not affect a Receiving Partys liability for a breach of its obligations in accordance with the terms of the following three sentences. In such event, the Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing Party prompt written notice of any disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, including the circumstances requiring such disclosure, which notice shall be (to the extent permitted by any applicable judicial or administrative order or applicable Law requiring such disclosure) delivered sufficiently prior to such disclosure to permit the Disclosing Party to seek an appropriate protective order or other relief. The Receiving Party agrees to reasonably cooperate (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its Representatives to reasonably cooperate) with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Partys expense, in connection with obtaining such protective order or other relief. Additionally, in the event that disclosure of Confidential Information is required, whether or not protective relief has been sought, the Receiving Party shall disclose only the minimum amount of Confidential Information required to comply with the applicable legal requirements compelling such disclosure.
17
Confidential Information means all confidential or proprietary information of OpenTV and its Subsidiaries that is in the possession or within the knowledge of the Seller Parties at the Closing Date; provided, however, that OpenTV Confidential Information will not include any information that (A) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this paragraph by a Seller Party or its Representatives, (B) was independently developed by a Seller Party or any of its Representatives without the use of any OpenTV Confidential Information of OpenTV or its Subsidiaries, or (C) was or becomes available to a Seller Party or its Representatives on a nonconfidential basis from a third party who was not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal obligation of confidentiality in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Seller Party or any of its Representatives is required (other than as a result of action taken by it or its Representatives (other than in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) for the purpose of causing such disclosure requirements to arise) in any judicial or administrative proceeding or by any regulatory or judicial authority or pursuant to any applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of the Commission, the NASDAQ Stock Market or of any securities exchange or association on which such Seller Partys or Representatives securities are traded (including pursuant to any listing agreement)) to disclose any such OpenTV Confidential Information, then any disclosure of such information to the extent so required shall not be prohibited by this Section 5.2(b); provided, that such disclosure shall not affect the liability of a Seller Party for a breach of its obligations in accordance with the terms of the following two sentences. In such event, the Seller Party shall give Kudelski and OpenTV prompt written notice of any disclosure of OpenTV Confidential Information pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, including the circumstances requiring such disclosure, which notice shall be (to the extent permitted by any applicable judicial or administrative order or applicable Law requiring such disclosure) delivered sufficiently prior to such disclosure to permit the Purchaser Parties and OpenTV to seek an appropriate protective order or other relief. The Seller Parties agree to reasonably cooperate (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of their Representatives to reasonably cooperate) with the Purchaser Parties and OpenTV, at the Purchaser Parties and/or OpenTVs expense, in connection with obtaining such protective order or other relief. Additionally, in the event that disclosure of such OpenTV Confidential Information is required, whether or not protective relief has been sought, the Seller Parties shall disclose only the minimum amount of OpenTV Confidential Information required to comply with the applicable legal requirements compelling such disclosure. OpenTV shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the obligations of the Seller Parties and the Purchaser Parties hereunder with respect to OpenTV Confidential Information and shall be entitled to enforce such obligations as if it were a party hereto. The Seller Parties shall not use such OpenTV Confidential Information except in accordance with this Section 5.2(b).
(c) The Parties agree that any Confidential Information of OpenTV or its Subsidiaries or of any Party disclosed by any of the Seller Parties to any of the Purchaser Parties, their Representatives or agents and, alternatively, by any of the Purchaser Parties to any of the Seller Parties, their Representatives or agents, prior to the date of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the necessity of and preparing filings of reports or notifications with any Governmental Entity, including, without limitation, under the HSR Act, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be deemed Confidential Information subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(a) above.

The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
9.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the fees and expenses of its advisers, accountants, legal counsel, brokers and finders) shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense, and Liberty shall reimburse OpenTV for a portion of the OpenTV Expenses equal to the lesser of US$40,000 or the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the OpenTV Expenses by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Aggregate Liberty Party Shares (as defined in the Control Premium Letter) and the denominator of which is equal to the Outstanding Ordinary Shares (as defined in the Control Premium Letter). In the event of any action, suit or proceeding, at law or in equity, among the Parties relating to the enforcement of the Parties rights and obligations under or in respect of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Party that prevails in such action, suit or proceeding shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-prevailing Party of its costs and expenses reasonably incurred relating to such enforcement; provided, that in the event such Party prevails on some but not all issues in such action, suit or proceeding, then the costs and expenses between the Parties shall be allocated in proportion to damages, and if damages are not an appropriate measure, as the court may determine.
9.11 Further Assurances. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement with respect to the transactions consummated at such Closing and to vest the Purchaser with full title to the Shares delivered at the Closing, each Party shall, upon the request and at the expense of the other party, and without further consideration, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and transfer, fully cooperate with the requesting party and take such other actions as the requesting Party reasonably may request.
9.12 Enforcement. Each Party acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Party or its representatives and that any such breach would cause the other Party (and, in the case of a breach by the Seller Parties of the covenants contained in Section 5.2, 5.6 or 5.9, OpenTV) irreparable harm. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by a Party or its representatives, the other Party, or, to the extent it has the right to enforce this Agreement, OpenTV, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity it may have, shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or providing a cross-undertaking in damages or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and an order for specific performance.
