OF REPRESENTATIONS;
INDEMNIFICATION
Section
5.1 Survival of
Representations. The representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement shall survive for one year after the Closing Date.
Section
5.2 Indemnities.
(a)
The Seller hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and/or its Subsidiaries from and against
any and all damages, claims, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) ("Damages") actually suffered or paid by Purchaser and/or
its
Subsidiaries as a result of the breach of any representation or warranty made
by
the Seller in this Agreement. To the extent that Seller's undertakings set
forth
in this Section 5.2(a) may be unenforceable, Seller shall contribute the maximum
amount that they are permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment
and satisfaction of all Damages incurred by the parties entitled to
indemnification hereunder.
(b)
Any party seeking indemnification
under this Article V (an "Indemnified Party") shall give each party from whom
indemnification is being sought (each, an "Indemnifying Party") notice of any
matter for which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, stating
the
amount of the Damages, if known, and method of computation thereof, and
containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which
such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The obligations of an
Indemnifying Party under this Article V with respect to Damages arising from
any
claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided
for
in this Article V (collectively, "Third Party Claims") shall be governed by
and
contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified
Party shall receive, after the Closing Date, initial notice of any Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such
Third Party Claim within such time frame as is necessary to allow for a timely
response and in any event within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified
Party
of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such timely
notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations
under this Article V except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through
counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the
Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the
Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably
likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in
the
judgment of the Indemnified Party (upon advice of counsel) for the same counsel
to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense
of
the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party and such counsel
shall contest such Third Party Claims in good faith. In the event the
Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against
any
such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate
with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the
Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all witnesses,
pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party's
possession or under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is
reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the
Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against
any
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the
Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party,
at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all such witnesses, records, materials
and
information in the Indemnifying Party's possession or under the Indemnifying
Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the
Indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent
to
the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party
of a
written release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or
(ii)
settle or compromise any Third Party Claim in any manner that may adversely
affect the Indemnified Party. Finally, no Third Party Claim which is being
defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party or which is being defended
by
the Indemnified Party as provided above in this Section 5.2(b) shall be settled
by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying
Party.

follows:
1. The
Holder agrees that, for a period of eighteen months commencing on the date
of
the Purchase Agreement, he will not sell, pledge, hypothecate, transfer, assign
or in any other manner dispose of
the Edgeline Shares. Thereafter, Holder may sell, pledge,
hypothecate, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of up to a maximum number of
5,000
shares of Edgeline Shares per day up to a maximum of 3% of Holders’ Edgeline
Shares per 30-day period; provided that such sale, pledge, hypothecation,
transfer, assignment or disposition does not exceed 7% of Holders’ Edgeline
Shares per 90-day period for thirty-six (36) months from the date
hereof.

engage in any short selling of Edgeline Shares during the term of this
Agreement.

as otherwise provided in
this Agreement or any other agreements between the parties, the Holder shall
be
entitled to their respective beneficial rights of ownership of Edgeline Shares,
including the right to vote the Edgeline Shares for any and all purposes.
