                           ------------

                     (iii) an additional $30,000 in cash to be paid if and only

         1.02  Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Edge Common Stock will
               -----------------
be issued in connection with the Merger, but in lieu thereof, the holder of any
shares of Media Resolutions Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to
receive a fraction of a share of Edge Common Stock would receive from Edge,

by the fraction of a share of Edge Common Stock to which such holder would

         1.03  Withheld Merger Consideration.  At the Closing, Edge shall retain

         an amount not to exceed $75,000, any of the following amounts upon
         delivery of a notice to Media Resolutions and the accompanying

                           Obligations, as defined in Section 2.08(b), that

               (c)   On the date that is six months and one day after the
         Effective Date, Edge shall release $75,000 of the Withheld Merger
         Consideration to the Media Resolutions Shareholders; provided, that on
         such date there are no current, pending or threatened Claims for
         indemnification under Section 6.02 that would exceed, in the aggregate,
         $75,000.

               (d)   Edge shall release any remaining amounts of Withheld Merger
         Consideration to the Media Resolutions Shareholders on the date that is
         twelve months and one day from the Effective Date; provided, however,
                                                            --------  -------
         that on such date there are current, pending or threatened Claims
         ("Current Claims") for indemnification under Section 6.02, then Edge
         shall not release any amounts (the "Holdback") which Edge believes in
         good faith may be required to satisfy such Current Claims. Edge shall
         release the remaining balance of the Holdback within three (3) business
         days after the date that all Current Claims are finally resolved.

               (e)   If all or a portion of any payment to be made pursuant to
         Sections 1.03(c) and 1.03(d) has not be paid when due, then any and all
         amounts payable due and payable at such time under this Agreement by
         Edge shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 12%
         until such overdue amount is paid in full. In addition thereto, Edge's
         obligations to make payment to the Media Resolutions Shareholders under
         Sections 1.03(c) and 1.03(d) shall be secured by a stock pledge, the
         form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
                                             ---------

               (f)   The deductions against the Withheld Merger Consideration
         set forth in this Section 1.03 shall not be deemed to be Edge's
         exclusive remedy for any breach by Media Resolutions or any Media
         Resolutions Shareholder of any term, condition, provision, or
         obligation hereunder.

         1.04  Effects of the Merger.  At the Effective Time:
               ---------------------

               (a)   the separate existence of Acquisition Corp. will cease

         terms of the Plan of Merger;

               (b)   the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Acquisition

              (f)  the Merger will, at and after the Effective Time, have all of
         the effects  provided by applicable law.

         1.05 Further Assurances.  Media Resolutions agrees that if, at any time
              ------------------
after the Effective Time, Edge considers or is advised that any further deeds,
assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to vest, perfect
or confirm in the Surviving Corporation title to any property or rights of Media
Resolutions, Edge and any of its officers are hereby authorized by Media
Resolutions to execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments and
assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to vest,
perfect or confirm title to such property or rights in the Surviving Corporation
and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, in the name of Media
Resolutions or otherwise.

         1.06 Earnout Commissions.
              -------------------

              (a) In the event that "RadCart Gross Revenue" (as defined below)
         during the period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until
         the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date (the "Earnout
         Period") equals to or exceeds $60,000, then Edge shall make an earnout
         payment in the amount of $30,000 (the "Earnout Commission"), to the
         Media Resolutions Shareholders as set forth below.

              (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "RadCart Gross
         Revenue" shall mean an amount equal to the gross revenue actually
         received by the Surviving Corporation during the Earnout Period from
         the sale of, or provision of services related to, the RadCart web site
         shopping cart, whether in the form of a PC or PDA based shopping cart,
         including, but not limited to proceeds from any licenses granted or
         royalties received in connection with such products and services.

              (c) Edge shall pay to the Media Resolutions Shareholders an amount
         in cash equal to the Earnout Commission earned, if any, by the later of
         (i) sixty (60) days following the end of the Earnout Period or (ii) the
         final determination of the RadCart Gross Revenue.

              (d) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty
         (30) days after the end of the Earnout Period, Edge shall deliver to
         the Media Resolutions Shareholders a calculation of RadCart Gross
         Revenue. Media Resolution Shareholders shall, at their own expense,
         have an opportunity to audit the calculation and such audit shall be
         the final determination of said RadCart Gross Revenue.

         1.07 Incidental Registration (a) If at any time after the date hereof
              -----------------------
but before the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, Edge proposes to register
any of its common stock under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act")
(other than by a registration in connection with an acquisition in a manner
which would not permit registration of the common stock for sale to the public,
on Form S-8, or any successor form thereto, on Form S-4, or any successor form
thereto), on an underwritten basis (either best-efforts or firm-commitment),
then, Edge will each such time give prompt written notice to each of the Media
Resolutions Shareholders of its intention to do so and of such Media Resolutions
Shareholder's rights under this Section 1.07. Upon the written request of any
such Media Resolutions Shareholder made within ten (10) days


AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER - Page 5

<PAGE>

after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Edge
Common Stock intended to be disposed of by such Holder), Edge will, subject to
the terms of this Agreement, effect the registration under the Securities Act of
the requested Edge Common Stock, to the extent requisite to permit the
disposition of such Edge Common Stock so to be registered, by inclusion of such
Edge Common Stock in the registration statement which covers the securities
which Edge proposes to register, provided that if, at any time after giving
written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the
effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration, Edge shall determine for any reason either not to register or to
delay registration of such securities, Edge may, at its election, give written
notice of such determination to each Media Resolutions Shareholder and,
thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved
of its obligation to register any Edge Common Stock in connection with such
registration (but not from its obligation to pay the reasonable registration
expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to
delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Edge Common
Stock, for the same period as the delay in registering such other common stock
of Edge. Edge will pay all registration expenses in connection with each
registration of Edge Common Stock requested pursuant to this Section 1.07.

         (b) If the managing underwriter of the underwritten offering
contemplated by this Section 1.07 shall inform Edge and the Media Resolutions
Shareholders requesting registration of the Edge Common Stock by letter of its
belief that the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, then Edge
will include in such registration, to the extent of the number which Edge is so
advised can be sold in such offering, (i) first securities proposed by Edge to
be sold for its own account, and (ii) second Edge Common Stock and securities of
other selling security holders requested to be included in such registration pro
rata on the basis of the number of shares of such securities so proposed to be
sold and so requested to be included; provided, however, the holders of Edge
Common Stock shall have priority to all shares sought to be included by officers
and directors of Edge as well as holders of ten percent (10%) or more of the
common stock of Edge unless the holders of such shares are exercising their own
registration rights.

     4.05 No Violation of Existing Agreements. Neither the execution and
          -----------------------------------
delivery of this Agreement or any agreement executed by Edge in connection with
the delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions

          ---------------------------------------------

                                 CLOSING MATTERS

     5.01 The Closing. The closing of this Agreement and the transactions
          -----------
contemplated hereunder (the "Closing") shall take place contemporaneously with
the execution hereof and on the date hereof (the "Closing Date") but for all

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER - Page 23

<PAGE>

and such other documents as may be required to effectuate the Merger will be
filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, and the
Merger will become effective at the Effective Time.

     5.02 Exchange of Certificates.
          ------------------------

          (a) As of the Effective Time, all shares of Media Resolutions Common
     Stock that are outstanding immediately prior thereto will, by virtue of the
     Merger and without further action, cease to exist, and each share of Media
     Resolutions Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive from
     Edge that portion of the Merger Consideration, subject to the withholding
     provisions of Section 1.03, that each such share bears to the total of all
     shares of Media Resolutions Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the
     Effective Time (the "Pro Rata Portion").

          (b) At and after the Effective Time, each certificate representing
     outstanding shares of Media Resolutions Common Stock will represent the
     number of shares of Edge Common Stock into which such shares of Media
     Resolutions Common Stock have been converted, and such shares of Edge
     Common Stock will be deemed registered in the name of the holder of such
     certificate. Upon the Effective Time, the holder of shares of Media
     Resolutions Common Stock will surrender (i) the certificates of such shares
     (the "Media Resolutions Certificates") to Edge for cancellation or (ii) an
           ------------------------------
     affidavit of lost (or non-issued) certificate and agreement to indemnify in
     form satisfactory to Edge (an "Affidavit"). Further, all rights to acquire
                                    ---------
     capital stock of Media Resolutions (whether in the form of options,
     warrants, or rights to convert securities) shall be terminated upon the
     Effective Time, such that upon the payment of the Merger Consideration,
     Edge will hold 100% of the capital stock of Media Resolutions and no rights
     or options to purchase or receive any shares of Media Resolutions' capital
     stock shall be outstanding. At Closing, Edge will deliver such Holder's Pro
     Rata Portion of the Cash Consideration less the amount withheld pursuant to
     Section 1.03 and as soon as practicable after the Effective Time and
     receipt of Media Resolutions Certificates and of any Affidavits, will issue
     to such surrendering holder certificate(s) representing such holder's Pro
     Rata Portion of the Stock Consideration and any cash for fractional shares
     payable under Section 1.02.

          (c) All shares of Edge Common Stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu
     of fractional shares) delivered upon the surrender of Media Resolutions
     Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof will be delivered to the
     registered holder. After the Effective Time, there will be no further
     registration of transfers of the shares of Media Resolutions Common Stock
     on the stock transfer books of Media Resolutions. If, after the Effective
     Time, Media Resolutions Certificates are presented for transfer or for any
     other reason, they will be canceled and exchanged and certificates for Edge
     Common Stock will be delivered pursuant to the terms and conditions set
     forth in this Section 5.02.

          (d) Until certificates representing Media Resolutions Common Stock
     outstanding prior to the Merger are surrendered pursuant to Section 5.02
     (b) above, such certificates will be deemed, for all purposes, to evidence
     ownership of (i) the number of shares of Edge Common Stock into which the
     shares of Media Resolutions Common

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER - Page 24

<PAGE>

          Stock will have been converted, subject to the obligation to withhold
          a portion thereof as required hereby, and (ii) if applicable, cash in
          lieu of fractional shares.

          5.03    Delivery of Lease Agreement. At the Closing, Media Resolutions
                  ---------------------------
shall deliver to Edge an executed lease agreement between Media Resolutions and
Allegiance Telecom, upon terms and conditions that are acceptable to Edge, in
the exercise of its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a lease term
expiring not less than six months from the Closing Date.

         to individually as an "Indemnified Person" and collectively as
                                ------------------
         "Indemnified Persons") from and against any and all claims, demands,

         actions, causes of action, losses, costs, damages, liabilities and

     instrument delivered by or on behalf of Media Resolutions and/or by the
     Media Resolutions Shareholders pursuant hereto (hereafter in this Section
     6.02 referred to as the "Edge Damages"); provided; however, that in no
                              ------------    --------  -------
     event shall the aggregate liability of the Media Resolutions Shareholders
     under this Agreement exceed an amount greater than $730,000.

       (b) Withheld Merger Consideration. Except for the Adjustment Amounts set
           -----------------------------
     forth in Section 1.03(a)(i) and (iii) above, Indemnified Persons shall make
     no deductions in the Withheld Merger Consideration and shall have no claims
     against the Media Resolutions Shareholders unless and until the Edge
     Damages exceed $10,000, (the "Threshold Amount"), at which point the
     Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification for all claims,
     including those within the Threshold Amount. In seeking indemnification for
     Edge Damages under this Section 6.02 following the Closing, the Indemnified
     Persons shall be entitled to, including, without limitation, available
     amounts of the Withheld Merger Consideration and all other remedies
     available at law or in equity.

     Promptly after the receipt by Edge of notice or discovery of any claim,
     damage or legal action or proceeding giving rise to indemnification rights
     under this Section 6.02, Edge will give the Claims Representative written
     notice of such claim, damage, legal action or proceeding (for purposes of
     this Section 6.02, a "Claim") in accordance with Section 6.02 of this
     Agreement. Within seven days of delivery of such written notice, the Claims
     Representative may, with Edge's written consent, which shall not be
     unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Media Resolutions
     Shareholders, elect to take all necessary steps properly to contest any
     Claim involving third parties or to prosecute or defend such Claim to
     conclusion or settlement. If the Claims Representative makes the foregoing
     election, then the Claims Representative will take all necessary steps to
     contest any such Claim or to prosecute or defend such Claim to conclusion
     or settlement, and will notify Edge of the progress of any such Claim, will
     permit Edge, at its expense, to participate in such prosecution or defense
     (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a conflict of interest exists which would make
     it inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Edge, for the same counsel
     to represent both Edge and the Media Resolutions Shareholders in the
     resolution of such Claim, then Edge may retain separate counsel, the fees
     and expenses of which shall not be borne by Edge but shall instead be borne
     by the Media Resolutions Shareholders) and will provide Edge with
     reasonable access to all relevant information and documents relating to the
     Claim and the Claims Representative's prosecution or defense thereof. If
     the Claims Representative does not make such election, then Edge shall be
     free to handle the prosecution or defense of any such Claim, will take all
     necessary steps to contest any such Claim involving third parties or to
     prosecute or defend such Claim to conclusion or settlement, will notify the
     Claims Representative of the progress of any such Claim, and will permit
     the Claims Representative, at the expense of the Media Resolutions
     Shareholders (which expense shall be paid for from sources other than the
     Withheld Merger Consideration) to participate in such prosecution or
     defense and will provide the Claims Representative with reasonable access
     to all relevant information and documents

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER - Page 26

<PAGE>

     relating to the Claim and Edge's prosecution or defense thereof. In either
     case, the party not in control of a Claim will fully cooperate, and will
     cause its counsel, if any, to fully cooperate, with the other party in the
     conduct of the prosecution or defense of such Claim. Neither party will
     compromise or settle any such Claim without the written consent of either
     Edge (if the Claims Representative defends the Claim) or the Claims
     Representative (if Edge defends the Claim), such consent not to be
     unreasonably withheld.

          (d) Any written notice of a Claim required under this Section 6.02
     (for purposes of this Section 6.02, a "Notice of Claim") will be in writing
     and will contain the following information to the extent reasonably
     available to Edge:

              (1) Edge's good faith estimate of the reasonably foreseeable
          maximum amount of the alleged Edge Damages (which amount may be the
          amount of damages claimed by a third party plaintiff in an action
          brought against Edge or Media Resolutions); and

              (2) A brief description in reasonable detail of the facts,
          circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Edge Damages based
          on Edge's good faith belief thereof and the basis under this Agreement
          for such Claim, including, without limitation, the identity and
          address of any third-party claimant (to the extent reasonably
          available to Edge) and copies of any formal demand or complaint.

          (e) For purposes of Sections 6.02 and 6.03, the Media Resolutions
     Shareholders hereby consent to the appointment of the Claims
     Representative, as representative of the Media Resolutions Shareholders,
     and as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each Media Resolutions
     Shareholder, and, subject to the express limitation set forth below, the
     taking by the Claims Representative of any and all actions and the making
     of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Claims
     Representative under Sections 6.02 and 6.03, including, without limitation,
     the exercise of the power to (i) agree to Edge's deductions against the
     Withheld Merger Consideration, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of
     any Claims (for purposes of this Section 6.02(e), the term "Claims" is as
     defined in Sections 6.02 and 6.03), (ii) agree to, negotiate, enter into
     settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with

     foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this
     Agreement. The Claims Representative will have unlimited authority and
     power to act on behalf of each Media Resolutions Shareholder with respect
     to Sections 6.02 and 6.03 and the disposition, settlement or other handling
     of all Claims, rights or obligations arising under this Agreement so long
     as all Media Resolutions Shareholders are treated in the same manner. The
     Media Resolutions Shareholders will be bound by all actions taken by the
     Claims Representative in connection with Sections 6.02 and 6.03, and Edge
     will be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Claims
     Representative. In performing the functions specified in Sections 6.02 and
     6.03, the Claims Representative will not be liable to the Media Resolutions
     Shareholders in the absence of gross negligence or willful

     Representative subject to the right to resign as set forth below. The
     Claims Representative may resign from such position, effective upon a new
     representative being appointed in writing by Media Resolutions Shareholders
     who beneficially own a majority of the withheld portion of the Media
     Resolutions Common Stock. The Claims Representative will not be entitled to
     receive any compensation from Edge or the Media Resolutions Shareholders in
     connection with this Agreement. Each Media Resolutions Shareholder will pay
     to the Claims Representative his or her Pro Rata Portion of any
     out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Claims

     the resolution of such Claim, then such Media Resolutions Shareholder may
     retain separate counsel, and the fees and expenses of one such counsel for
     all applicable Media Resolutions Shareholders shall be borne by Edge rather
     than by any such Media Resolutions Shareholder) and will provide such Media
     Resolutions Shareholder with reasonable access to all relevant information
     and documents relating to the Claim and Edge's prosecution or defense
     thereof. If Edge does not make such election, then such Media Resolutions
     Shareholder shall be free to handle the prosecution or defense of any such
     Claim, will take all necessary steps to contest any such Claim involving
     third parties or to prosecute or defend such Claim to conclusion or
     settlement, will notify Edge of the progress of any such Claim, and will
     permit Edge, at the expense of Edge, to participate in such prosecution or
     defense and will provide Edge with reasonable access to all relevant
     information and documents relating to the Claim and such Media Resolutions
     Shareholder's prosecution or defense thereof. In either case, the party not
     in control of a Claim will fully cooperate with, and will cause its
     counsel, if any, to fully cooperate with, the other party in the conduct of
     the prosecution or defense of such Claim. Neither party will compromise or
     settle any such Claim without the written consent of either such Media
     Resolutions Shareholder (if Edge defends the Claim) or Edge (if such Media
     Resolutions Shareholder defends the Claim), such consent not to be
     unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
     Section 6.03(c), if two or more Media Resolutions Shareholders deliver,
     whether separately or together, a Claim to Edge arising from or relating to
     the same or a reasonably similar matter, then the Claims Representative
     shall act on behalf of each such Media Resolutions Shareholder bringing
     such a Claim for purposes of this Section 6.03.

          (d) Notice. Any written notice of a Claim required under this Section
              ------

              (i)  such Media Resolutions Shareholder's good faith estimate of
          the reasonably foreseeable maximum amount of the alleged Media

          by a third party plaintiff in an action brought against such Media
          Resolutions Shareholder); and

              (ii) A brief description in reasonable detail of the facts,
          circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Media Resolutions

          including, without limitation, the identity and address of any

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         7.01 Governing Law; Specific Performance; Dispute Resolution. The laws
              -------------------------------------------------------
of the State of Texas (without regard to its choice of law principles that might
apply the law of another jurisdiction) will govern the validity of this
Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement
of the rights and duties of the parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the remedy of indemnity
payments and other remedies at law would be inadequate in the case of any breach
of the covenants contained herein and each party agrees that any other party
shall be entitled to equitable relief, including the remedy of specific
performance, without posting of bond or other security, with respect to any
breach or attempted breach of such covenants. Any dispute hereunder ("Dispute")
                                                                      -------
shall be settled by arbitration in Dallas, Texas and, except as herein
specifically stated, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules") then in effect. However, in all
                                   ---------
events, these arbitration provisions shall govern over any conflicting rules
that may now or hereafter be contained in the AAA Rules. Any judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
over the subject matter thereof. The arbitrator shall have the authority to
grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in any judicial
proceeding instituted to resolve a Dispute.

              (a) Compensation of Arbitrator. Any such arbitration will be
                  --------------------------
         conducted before a single arbitrator who will be compensated for his or
         her services at a rate to be determined by the parties or by the
         American Arbitration Association, but based upon a reasonable hourly or
         daily consulting rate for the arbitrator if the parties are not able to
         agree upon his or her rate of compensation.

              (b) Selection of Arbitrator. The American Arbitration Association
                  -----------------------
         will have the authority to select an arbitrator from a list of
         arbitrators who are lawyers familiar with Texas contract law and
         experienced in mergers and acquisitions; provided, however, that

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER - Page 32

<PAGE>

         such lawyers cannot work for a firm then performing services for either
         party, that each party will have the opportunity to make such
         reasonable objection to any of the arbitrators listed as such party may
         wish and that the American Arbitration Association will select the
         arbitrator from the list of arbitrators as to whom neither party makes
         any such objection. If the foregoing procedure is not followed, each
         party will choose one person from the list of arbitrators provided by
         the American Arbitration Association (provided that such person does
         not have a conflict of interest), and the two persons so selected will
         select from the list provided by the American Arbitration Association
         the person who will act as the arbitrator.

              (c) Payment of Costs. Edge and the Media Resolutions Shareholders
                  ----------------
         will each pay 50% of the initial compensation to be paid to the
         arbitrator in any such arbitration and 50% of the costs of transcripts
         and other normal and regular expenses of the arbitration proceedings;
         provided, however, that the prevailing party in any arbitration will be
         entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and costs, and all costs of
         arbitration, including those provided for above, will be paid by the
         non-prevailing party, and the arbitrator will be authorized to make
         such determinations.

              (d) Burden of Proof. For any Dispute submitted to arbitration, the
                  ---------------
         burden of proof will be as it would be if the claim were litigated in a
         Texas judicial proceeding.

              (e) Award. Upon the conclusion of any arbitration proceedings
                  -----
         hereunder, the arbitrator will render findings of fact and conclusions
         of law and a written opinion setting forth the basis and reasons for
         any decision reached and will deliver such documents to each party to
         this Agreement along with a signed copy of the award.

              (f) Terms of Arbitration. The arbitrator chosen in accordance with
                  --------------------
         these provisions will not have the power to alter, amend or otherwise
         affect the terms of these arbitration provisions or the provisions of
         this Agreement.

              (g) Exclusive Remedy. Except as specifically otherwise provided in
                  ----------------
         this Agreement, arbitration will be the sole and exclusive remedy of
         the parties for any Dispute arising out of this Agreement.

         7.02 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. No party may
              -----------------------------------------------
assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other party. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

         7.03 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
              ------------
application thereof, is for any reason held to any extent to be invalid or
unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and application of such
provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably
to effect the intent of the parties. The parties further agree to replace such
unenforceable provision of this Agreement with valid and enforceable provisions
that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other
purposes of the invalid or unenforceable provisions.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER - Page 33

<PAGE>

         7.04 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
              ------------
of which will be an original as regards any party whose signature appears
thereon and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
This Agreement will become binding when one or more counterparts hereof,
individually or taken together, bear the signatures of all parties reflected
hereon as signatories.

         7.05 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all
              --------------
remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with
and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party,
and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other.

         7.06 Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may
              ---------------------
be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The
waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will
not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default of any succeeding
breach or default. This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time.

         7.07 No Waiver. The failure of any party to enforce any of the
              ---------
provisions hereof will not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such
party thereafter to enforce such provisions. The waiver by any party of the
right to enforce any of the provisions hereof on any occasion will not be
construed to be a waiver of the right of such party to enforce such provisions
on any other occasion.

         7.08 Expenses. Other than sharing in equal portions the cost of the
              --------
Media Resolutions audit performed by Grant Thornton LLP, each party will bear
its respective expenses and fees of its own accountants, attorneys, investment
bankers and other professionals incurred with respect to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that Media Resolutions will
not incur, in connection with the Merger and the related transactions
contemplated hereunder, expenses for fees and expenses of lawyers, accountants
and other professionals in excess of $15,000 for the period of time from the
Balance Sheet Date until the Closing Date, unless any such fees or expenses
incurred by Media Resolutions in excess of such $15,000 are paid by the Media
Resolutions Shareholder on or before the Closing Date.

         7.09 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted
              -------
