Swiss law, directors and senior officers acting in violation of their statutory duties&mdash;whether dealing with third parties
or performing any other acts on behalf of the corporation&mdash;may become liable to the corporation, its shareholders and (in
bankruptcy) its creditors for damages. The directors&rsquo; liability is joint and several but only to the extent the damage is
attributable to each director based on willful or negligent violation of duty. If the board of directors lawfully delegated the
power to carry out day-to-day management to a different corporate body, e.g., the executive board, the board of directors is not
vicariously liable for the acts of the members of the executive board. Instead, the directors can be held liable for their failure
to properly select, instruct or supervise the executive board members. If directors and officers enter into a transaction on behalf
of the corporation with third parties in violation of their statutory duties, the transaction is nevertheless valid as long as
it is not excluded by the corporation&rsquo;s business purpose.</FONT></P>

persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under
Swiss law, directors and senior officers acting in violation of their statutory duties—whether dealing with third parties
or performing any other acts on behalf of the corporation—may become liable to the corporation, its shareholders and (in
bankruptcy) its creditors for damages. The directors' liability is joint and several but only to the extent the damage is
attributable to each director based on willful or negligent violation of duty. If the board of directors lawfully delegated the
power to carry out day-to-day management to a different corporate body, e.g., the executive board, the board of directors is not
vicariously liable for the acts of the members of the executive board. Instead, the directors can be held liable for their failure
to properly select, instruct or supervise the executive board members. If directors and officers enter into a transaction on behalf
of the corporation with third parties in violation of their statutory duties, the transaction is nevertheless valid as long as
it is not excluded by the corporation's business purpose.
Because
CSG is a Swiss company headquartered in Switzerland, a number of the directors and officers of CSG are residents of Switzerland
and not the United States. As a result, U.S. investors may find it difficult in a lawsuit based on the civil liability provisions
of the U.S. federal securities laws to:
·
serve legal process on CSG or its directors and executive officers or have any of them appear
in a U.S. court; and
·
enforce against those persons in Switzerland, whether in original actions or in actions for
enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, liabilities based solely on the federal securities laws of the United States.
The
Articles of Association of CSG does not contain provisions regarding the indemnification of directors and officers.
According
to Swiss statutory law, an employee has a right to be indemnified by the employer against losses and expenses incurred by him or
her in the execution of his or her duties under an employment agreement, unless the losses and expenses arise from the employee's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
It
is CSG's policy to indemnify its current or former directors and/or employees against certain losses and expenses in respect
of service as a director or employee of CSG, as the case may be, one of its affiliates or another entity, which CSG has approved,
subject to specific conditions or exclusions. CSG maintains directors' and officers' insurance for its directors and
officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index attached hereto.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)       The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
4
(1)       
to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(l)(ii)
do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)       
that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3)       
to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
(b)        The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)       
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
