and
expenses, including all court costs, litigation expenses and reasonable
attorneys’ fees, that Purchaser may suffer or incur as a result of or relating
to the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this
Agreement or pursuant hereto (“Losses”), provided that 1) Petroleum Corp.’s
liability under this Section 6.1 shall be limited to losses resulting from

6.3. Survival.
The
representations and warranties of the Seller, Petroleum Corp. and the Purchaser
made in or pursuant to this Agreement will survive the execution and delivery
of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
until the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that: (a) if
the
violation of any representation or warranty would constitute a violation of
law,
such representation or warranty will survive until 30 days after expiration
of
the statute of limitations applicable to such violation (including any extension
of such statute of limitations agreed to by the Sellers); and (b) any
representation or warranty the violation of which is made the basis of a claim
for indemnification pursuant to Section

survive until such claim is finally resolved if Purchaser notifies the Sellers,
or if the Sellers notify the Purchaser, as applicable, of such claim in
reasonable detail prior to the date on which such representation or warranty
would otherwise expire hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, no claim
for
indemnification pursuant to Section

or
6.2
based on
the breach of a representation or warranty may be asserted after the date on
which such representation or warranty expires hereunder. The covenants and
agreements of Seller, Petroleum Corp. and the Purchaser made in or pursuant
to
this Agreement will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby indefinitely.

6.4. Notice.
Any
party entitled to receive indemnification under this Article 6 (the “Indemnified
Party”)
agrees
to give prompt written notice to the party or parties required to provide such
indemnification (the “Indemnifying
Parties”)
upon
the occurrence of any indemnifiable Loss or the assertion of any claim or the
commencement of any action or proceeding in respect of which such a Loss may
reasonably be expected to occur (each, a “Claim”),
but
the Indemnified Party’s
failure
to give such notice will not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party
under this Article 6 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is
materially prejudiced thereby. Such written notice will include a reference
to
the event or events forming the basis of such Loss or Claim and the amount
involved, unless such amount is uncertain or contingent, in which event the
Indemnified Party will give a later written notice when the amount becomes
fixed.
6.5. Defense
of Claims.
6.5.1. The
Indemnifying Party may elect to assume and control the defense of any Claim,
including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party and the payment of expenses related thereto, if: (a) the Indemnifying
Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any
Losses resulting from such Claim; (b) the Claim does not seek to impose any
Liability on the Indemnified Party other than money damages; and (c) the Claim
does not relate to the Indemnified Party’s
relationship with any customer, employee or contractor.
6.5.2. If
the
conditions of Section
6.5.1
are
satisfied and the Indemnifying Party elects to assume and control the defense
of
a Claim, then: (a) the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement
of such Claim effected by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying
Party’s
consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; (b) the Indemnifying
Party may settle such Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party; and
(c) the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel and participate in the
defense thereof, but the Indemnified Party will be responsible for the fees
and
expenses of such counsel unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to
adequately assume and actively conduct the defense of such Claim or to employ
counsel with respect thereto; or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of the
Indemnified Party, a conflict of interest exists between the interests of the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that requires representation by
separate counsel, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel
will be paid by the Indemnifying Party.
6.5.3. If
the
conditions of Section
6.5.1
are not
satisfied, the Indemnified Party may assume the exclusive right to defend,
compromise, or settle such Claim, but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound
by any determination of a Claim so defended or any compromise or settlement
effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably
withheld).

Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written
consent of the other party.

Announcements.

7.4. GOVERNING
LAW.
THIS
AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY
CONFLICTS OF LAW RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF
THE
LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
7.5. Drafting.
The
language in all parts of this Agreement will be interpreted, in all cases,
according to its fair meaning and not for or against any party hereto. Each
party acknowledges that it and its legal counsel have reviewed and revised
this
Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed
in the interpretation of this Agreement.

7.9. Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of
and
be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
7.10. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile
or
portable document format (.pdf)) for the convenience of the parties hereto,
each
of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument.
7.11. Arbitration.
Any
controversy arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or a breach, shall
be
settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its rules. A judgment upon an award rendered
by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The initiating
party shall give written notice to the other party of its decision to arbitrate
by providing a specific statement setting forth the nature of the dispute,
the
amount involved, the remedy sought, and the hearing locale requested. The
initiating party shall be responsible for all filing requirements and the
payment of any fees according to the rules of the applicable regional office
of
the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall award to the
prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator, all of its costs
and
expenses including attorneys’
fees,
arbitrator’s
fees,
and out-of-pocket expenses of any kind. The consideration of the parties to
be
bound by arbitration is not only the waiver of access to determination by a
court and/or jury, but also the waiver of any rights to appeal the arbitration
finding. Arbitration shall take place in Redmond, Washington.
7.12. Name
Changes.
No
later than the fifth (5th) business day following the Closing, BLive will file
all documents necessary to change its name (including any dba’s and including

Networks Inc.” (the “BLive Name Change”). No later than the fifth (5th)
business day after the BLive Name Change, Infobuild will file all documents
necessary to change its name (including any dba’s and including qualifications
in all jurisdictions) to “BLive Networks Inc.” if available in the applicable
jurisdiction (including any dba’s and including qualifications in all
jurisdictions.) Following the BLive
Name Change, Seller will also open a bank account in the new name of BLive
to be
owned and controlled by Purchaser.
7.13. Further
Assurances.
At or
after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Seller and Xxxxx
will
execute and deliver to Purchaser such further instruments of conveyance and
transfer, and take such other action, as Purchaser may reasonably request in
order more effectively to convey and transfer the BLive Assets to Purchaser
and
to put Purchaser in operational control of the BLive Assets, for aiding,
assisting, collecting and reducing to possession any of the BLive Assets and
exercising rights with respect thereto or for fulfilling the obligations of
the
Seller and Xxxxx.
