                    material adverse effect on its labor
                    relations.

          (c)  Schedule 2.15 (c) delivered by VTI to Edge
     herewith contains a list of all pension, retirement,
     disability, medical, dental or other health plans, life
     insurance or other death benefit plans, profit sharing,
     deferred compensation agreements, stock, option, bonus or
     other incentive plans, vacation, sick, holiday or other paid
     leave plans, severance plans or other similar employee
     benefits plan maintained, contributed to, or required to be
     contributed to, by VTI or any ERISA Affiliate (as defined
     herein) for the benefit of any VTI employee, former employee
     or retired employee (the "Employee Plans"), including
     without limitation all "employee benefit plans" as defined
     in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security
     Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").  "ERISA Affiliate" as
     used in this Section 2.15 shall mean any other person or
     entity under common control with VTI within the meaning of
     Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code and the
     regulations thereunder.  VTI does not now, nor has it ever,
     maintained, participated in, or contributed to, any Employee
     Plan which is subject to Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of
     ERISA, Title IV of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code, or any
     multiemployer plan as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.
     VTI has delivered true and complete copies of all the
     Employee Plans, together with the most recent summary plan
     descriptions, if any, required under ERISA, and the three
     most recent annual reports (Forms 5500 and all schedules
     thereto), if any, required under ERISA, to Edge.  Each of
     the Employee Plans, and its operation and administration, is
     in compliance with all applicable, federal, state, local and
     other governmental laws and ordinances, orders, rules and
     regulations, including the requirements of ERISA and the
     Code.  Except as set forth in Schedule 2.15 (c), any such
     Employee Plans that are employee pension benefit plans (as
     defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) which are intended to
     qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code have received
     favorable determination letters that such plans satisfy the
     qualification requirements of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
     In addition, to VTI's knowledge, no "prohibited
     transaction," within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or
     Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred with respect to any
     Employee Plan.  The group health plans as defined in
     Section 4980B(g) of the Code that benefit employees of VTI
     are in material compliance with the continuation coverage
     requirements of Section 4980B of the Code.  There are no
     outstanding violations of Section 4980B of the Code with
     respect to any Employee Plan, covered employees or qualified
     beneficiaries.  No Employee Plan provides life insurance,
     medical or other medical benefits to any employee upon his
     or her retirement or termination of employment for any
     reason, except as may be required by statute.  Except as set
     forth in Schedule 2.15 (c) (which does not identify any
     individual by name, Social Security number or in any other
     manner), no employee of VTI and no person subject to any VTI
     health plan has made medical claims during the twelve months
     preceding the date hereof for $25,000 or in the aggregate,
     or, to the knowledge of VTI or the VTI Shareholders, has any
     catastrophic illness.

          (d)  To the knowledge of VTI or the VTI Shareholders,
     no employee of VTI is in material violation of any term of
     any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement or
     noncompetition agreement or any other contract or agreement,
     or any restrictive covenant, relating to the right of any
     such employee to be employed by VTI or to use trade secrets
     or proprietary information of others.  To the knowledge of
     VTI or the VTI Shareholders, the employment of any employee
     of VTI does not of itself subject VTI to any liability to
     any third party.

          (e)  Except as set forth in Schedule 2.15 (e), VTI is
     not a party to any:

               (i)  Agreement with any executive officer or other

                       the terms of which are materially
                       altered, upon the occurrence of a
                       transaction involving VTI in the nature
                       of any of the transactions contemplated
                       by this Agreement and the Plan of Merger,
                       or any other business combination
                       transaction;

                  (B)  Providing any term of employment or
                       compensation guarantee; or

                  (C)  Providing severance benefits or other
                       benefits after the termination of
                       employment of such employee regardless of
                       the reason for such termination of
                       employment; or

               (ii) Agreement or plan, including, without
                    limitation, any stock option plan, stock
                    appreciation rights plan or stock purchase
                    plan, any of the benefits of which will be
                    materially increased, or the vesting of
                    benefits of which will be materially
                    accelerated, by the occurrence of any of the
                    transactions contemplated by this Agreement
                    and the Plan of Merger or the value of any of
                    the benefits of which will be calculated on
                    the basis of any of the transactions
                    contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan
                    of Merger.

          (f)  A list of all employees, officers and development
     consultants of VTI and their current compensation and
     benefits or related agreements with employer as of the date
     of this Agreement is set forth on Schedule 2.15 (f)-1, and
     VTI and each of the VTI Shareholders represent and warrant
     that each of the employees who is listed on Schedule 2.15(f)-
     2  will continue their employment arrangements for at least
     six months and one day after the Effective Date, unless any
     such employee's employment is terminated by the Surviving
     Corporation with the prior written consent of Edge, such
     consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

          (g)  Except as set forth in Schedule 2.15 (g), all
     contributions due from VTI with respect to any of the
     Employee Plans have been made or accrued on VTI's Financial
     Statements, and no further contributions will be due or will
     have accrued thereunder as of the Closing Date.

     any employee, for accrued and unpaid wages, salaries,
     bonuses, pensions, severance pay or other benefits.

Edge is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation

     and performance of this Agreement and the Edge Ancillary
     Agreements have been duly and validly approved by the Edge
     Board of Directors as required by applicable law.

     5.02 VTI AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY.

          (a)  The VTI Shareholders Indemnity.  Subject to the
     limitations set forth in Section 5.02(b), the VTI
     Shareholders will indemnify and hold harmless Edge and its
     respective officers, directors, agents and employees, and
     each person, if any, who controls or may control Edge
     (hereinafter in this Section 5.02 referred 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 expenses including, without limitation,
     reasonable legal fees, arising out of any misrepresentation
     or breach of or default in connection with any of the
     representations, warranties and covenants given or made by
     VTI and/or the VTI Shareholders in this Agreement or any
     certificate, document or instrument delivered by or on
     behalf of VTI and/or by the VTI Shareholders pursuant hereto
     (hereafter in this Section 5.02 referred to as the "Edge
     Damages").

          (b)  Withheld Merger Consideration. Except for the
     Adjustment Amounts set forth in Section 1.03 above,
     Indemnified Persons shall make no deductions in the Withheld
     Merger Consideration and shall have no claims against the
     VTI 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,

                              -25-

<PAGE>

     including those within the Threshold Amount.  In seeking
     indemnification for Edge Damages under this Section 5.02
     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.

          (c)  R. Jeffrey Ireland shall act as the representative
     of the VTI Shareholders for purposes of Sections 5.02 and
     5.03 of this Agreement (the "Claims Representative"), and is
     duly authorized to be such Claims Representative and may
     bind the VTI Shareholders.  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 5.02, Edge will give the Claims
     Representative written notice of such claim, damage, legal
     action or proceeding (for purposes of this Section 5.02, a
     "Claim") in accordance with Section 5.02 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 VTI 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
     VTI 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
     VTI 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 VTI 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 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 5.02 (for purposes of this Section 5.02, a "Notice
     of Claim") will be in writing and will contain the following
     information to the extent reasonably available to Edge:

                               -26-

<PAGE>

               (i)  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 VTI);
                    and

               (ii) 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 5.02 and 5.03, the VTI
     Shareholders hereby consent to the appointment of the Claims
     Representative, as representative of the VTI Shareholders,
     and as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each VTI
     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 5.02 and 5.03, 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 5.02, the term
                    "Claims" is as defined in Sections 5.02 and
                    5.03);

               (ii) Agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements
                    and compromises of, and demand arbitration
                    and comply with orders of courts and awards
                    of arbitrators with respect to any Claims;

               (iii)Resolve any Claims; and

               (iv) Take all actions necessary in the judgment of
                    the Claims Representative for the
                    accomplishment of the foregoing and all of
                    the other terms, conditions and limitations
                    of this Agreement.

          (f)  The Claims Representative will have unlimited
     authority and power to act on behalf of each VTI Shareholder
     with respect to Sections 5.02 and 5.03 and the disposition,
     settlement or other handling of all Claims, rights or
     obligations arising under this Agreement so long as all VTI
     Shareholders are treated in the same manner.  The VTI
     Shareholders will be bound by all actions taken by the
     Claims Representative in connection with Sections 5.02 and
     5.03, and Edge will be entitled to rely on any action or
     decision of the Claims Representative.  In performing the
     functions specified in Sections 5.02 and 5.03,  the Claims
     Representative will not be liable to the VTI Shareholders in
     the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. R.
     Jeffrey Ireland hereby accepts the position of
     Representative subject to the right to resign as set forth
     below.  The Claims Representative may resign from such
     position, effective upon a new

                              -27-

<PAGE>

     representative being appointed in writing by VTI
     Shareholders who beneficially own a majority of the withheld
     portion of the VTI Common Stock.  The Claims Representative
     will not be entitled to receive any compensation from Edge
     or the VTI Shareholders in connection with this Agreement.
     Each VTI 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 Representative in
     connection with actions taken pursuant to the terms of
     Sections 5.02 and 5.03, and such amounts shall not be
     deducted against the Withheld Merger Consideration.

     5.03 EDGE AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY.

          (a)  Edge Indemnity.  Subject to the limitations set
     forth in Section 5.03(b), Edge will indemnify and hold
     harmless the VTI Shareholders (hereinafter in this
     Section 5.03 referred to individually as an "Edge
     Indemnified Person" and collectively as "Edge Indemnified
     Persons") from and against any and all claims, demands,
     actions, causes of action, losses, costs, damages,
     liabilities and expenses including, without limitation,
     reasonable legal fees, net of any recoveries under insurance
     policies or tax savings known to any VTI Shareholder at the
     time of making of claim hereunder, arising out of any
     misrepresentation or breach of or default in connection with
     any of the representations, warranties and covenants given
     or made by Edge in this Agreement or any certificate,
     document or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Edge
     pursuant hereto (hereafter in this Section 5.03 referred to
     as "VTI Damages").

          (b)  Edge Indemnification Limitations. The
     indemnification provided for in Section 5.02(b) will not
     apply unless and until the aggregate VTI Damages for which
     one or more Edge Indemnified Persons seeks indemnification
     under Section 5.03(a) exceeds $10,000 (the "Threshold
     Amount"), in which event the indemnification provided for in
     Section 5.03(a) will include all VTI Damages, including
     those within the Threshold Amount..  The provisions of this
     Section 5.03 shall not preclude the exercise by any Edge
     Indemnified Person of any and all other remedies available
     at law or in equity.

          (c)  Process.  Promptly after the receipt by any VTI
     Shareholder of notice or discovery of any claim, damage or
     legal action or proceeding giving rise to indemnification
     rights under this Section 5.03, such VTI Shareholder will
     give Edge written notice of such claim, damage, legal action
     or proceeding (for purposes of this Section 5.03, a "Claim")
     in accordance with this Section 5.03. Within seven days of
     delivery of such written notice, Edge may, with such VTI
     Shareholder's written consent, which shall not be
     unreasonably withheld, at the expense of Edge, 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 Edge makes the foregoing
     election, then Edge will take all necessary steps to contest
     any such Claim or to prosecute or defend such Claim to
     conclusion or settlement, and will notify such VTI
     Shareholder of the progress of any such Claim, will permit
     such VTI Shareholder, 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 such VTI

                              -28-

<PAGE>

     Shareholder, for the same counsel to represent both such VTI
     Shareholder and Edge in the resolution of such Claim, then
     such VTI Shareholder may retain separate counsel, and the
     fees and expenses of one such counsel for all applicable VTI
     Shareholders shall be borne by Edge rather than by any such
     VTI Shareholder) and will provide such VTI 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 VTI
     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 VTI 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 VTI Shareholder (if Edge
     defends the Claim) or Edge (if such VTI Shareholder defends
     the Claim), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
     5.03(c), if two or more VTI 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
     VTI Shareholder bringing such a Claim for purposes of this
     Section 5.03.

          (d)  Notice.  Any written notice of a Claim required
     under this Section 5.03 (for purposes of this Section 5.03,
     a "Notice of Claim") will be in writing and will contain the
     following information to the extent reasonably available to
     such VTI Shareholder:

               (i)  Such VTI Shareholder's good faith estimate of
                    the reasonably foreseeable maximum amount of
                    the alleged VTI Damages (which amount may be
                    the amount of damages claimed by a third
                    party plaintiff in an action brought against
                    such VTI Shareholder); and

               (ii) A brief description in reasonable detail of
                    the facts, circumstances or events giving
                    rise to the alleged VTI Damages based on such
                    VTI Shareholder'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 such VTI Shareholder) and copies of any
                    formal demand or complaint.

     5.04 CERTAIN AGREEMENTS.  The VTI Shareholders will use all
reasonable efforts to cause all present employees of VTI to
execute Edge's forms of assignments of copyright and other
intellectual property rights, noncompetition and trade secret
agreements and confidentiality agreements.

foreign, which may be reasonably required, or which Edge may

the consummation of the transactions provided for in this
Agreement.  Edge will use all reasonable efforts to obtain or

                           ARTICLE VI
                          MISCELLANEOUS

     6.01 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

                              -32-

<PAGE>

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 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 VTI 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.

                              -33-

<PAGE>

     6.02 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.

     6.03 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.

     6.04 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.

     6.05 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.

     6.06 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.

     6.07 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.

     6.08 EXPENSES.  Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement,
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 (a) the
audit of VTI conducted by Grant Thornton, LLP will be paid by VTI
prior to the Closing, of which Edge shall have contributed fifty
percent (50%) of the retainer, and (b) VTI will not incur, for
its own account, in connection with the Merger and the related
transactions contemplated hereby, expenses for fees and expenses
of lawyers, accountants and other professionals, including
payment of the Grant Thornton, LLP audit, in excess of $17,000,
unless any such excess amount of fees or expenses (the "Excess
Professional Service

                              -34-

Fees" either (x) paid by the VTI Shareholders on or before the
Closing Date, in which case proof of such payment shall be
provided at Closing or (y) deducted from the Withheld Merger
Consideration.

     subsidiaries and other EBITDA Addbacks.  In addition, for
     purposes of calculating EBITDA for the Measurement Period,
     the EBITDA Addbacks (listed in Schedule 2.3), shall not be
     considered a deduction from the earnings of the Business by
     the Purchaser (however, any merit bonuses, whether
     discretionary or by virtue of meeting financial criteria

     expense during the Measurement Period in so calculating
     EBITDA).

          (b)  The total Purchase Price shall be the sum of (i)
     $1,127,750 (the "Minimum Purchase Price") and (ii) the
     product of the EBITDA of the Purchaser over the Measurement
     Period, multiplied by two (2); provided, however, that
     except for the application of Section 8.7 herein, the
     Purchase Price shall not be less than the Minimum Purchase
     Price.

          (c)  At the Closing, the Purchaser shall receive credit
     for paying a portion of the Purchase Price (which shall be
     credited dollar for dollar against the Minimum Purchase
     Price) equal to the amount of the remaining unpaid balance
     of principal and interest due and owing on the Closing Date
     from the Seller to Edge under that certain Promissory Note
     executed by the Seller and the Shareholders in favor of Edge
     in the original principal amount of $150,000, dated
     April 19, 2002 (the "Edge Note").  Upon the application of
     such credit, Edge shall cancel the Edge Note and provide the
     Seller and  the Shareholders with a release of the lien and
     any other obligations under the Edge Note.

          (d)  The amount of Purchase Price shall be reduced by
     the following amounts (at the time such amounts become
     obligations of the Purchaser):

          accruing before May 20, 2002 (the "Assumed Prepaid
          Obligations");

               (iv) subject to the provisions of Section 8.7
          below, any expenses incurred by the Purchaser and/or
          Edge which result from a breach of any representation,
          warrant, or covenant made by the Seller under the terms
          of this Agreement; and

               (v)  subject to the provisions of Section 8.7
          below, any amounts offset by the Purchaser in
          accordance with Section 8.5.

          (e)  The Purchase Price shall be calculated as soon as
     practicable following the end of the Measurement Period and
     in any event shall be no later than thirty (30) days
     following the delivery to all Parties of all financial
     statements necessary to make such a determination.

          (f)  The Purchase Price shall include one half of the
     monthly financing costs incurred by the Purchaser during the
     twelve month period following the Closing Dates under any
     "factoring" financing arrangements.

     2.4  Payment of the Purchase Price.

          (a)  On the Closing Date, Edge shall cause the
     Purchaser to make an initial payment to the Seller of
     $227,750 plus the amount determined in Section 2.3(c) (the
     "Initial Cash Payment") to be credited against payment of
     the Minimum Purchase Price.

          (b)  Each month beginning with the first full month
     after the Closing Date, Edge shall cause the Purchaser to
     make a payment to the Seller, to the extent the Purchaser
     has sufficient cash to do so, of the sum of (i) the amount
     that the Purchaser's Working Capital exceeds Required
     Working Capital measured as of the last day of such month
     (the "Measured Monthly Payment") plus (ii) the fixed dollar
     amount, if any (the "Estimated Monthly Payment"), that Edge
     determines in its sole and absolute discretion to pay to the
     Seller in addition to the Measured Monthly Payment based on
     the performance of the Purchaser for the first three (3)
     full months following the Closing Date (the Measured Monthly
     Payments and the Estimated Monthly Payments, if any, shall
     be collectively referred to as the "Monthly Payments"). No
     payment will be due by the Purchaser until the fifth day
     after the financial statements necessary to determine the
     Monthly Payment have been delivered to Edge. Monthly
     Payments will be credited against payment of the Minimum
     Purchase Price, and no Monthly Payment shall be made which
     would result in total credits against the Purchase Price
     exceeding the remaining unpaid balance of the Minimum
     Purchase Price.

                              -13-

<PAGE>

          (c)  In the event that Edge receives proceeds from the
     issuance of its capital stock (or indebtedness convertible
     into its capital stock) during the Measurement Period (an
     "Equity Raise"), then Edge agrees to cause the Purchaser to
     advance to the Seller (the "Fund-raising Payments") the
     amount of twenty percent (20%) of the net proceeds of such
     Equity Raise until the total net proceeds of such Equity
     Raises exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000), after which
     Edge shall cause the Purchaser to advance to the Seller ten
     percent (10%) of any net proceeds in excess of one million
     dollars ($1,000,000) during the Measurement Period. Fund-
     raising Payments will be credited against payment of the
     Minimum Purchase Price, and no Fund-raising Payment shall be
     made which would result in total credits against the
     Purchase Price exceeding the remaining unpaid balance of the
     Minimum Purchase Price.  "Net proceeds" as used herein shall
     mean gross proceeds from such Equity Raise, less all
     purchase price discounts provided to the funding source and
     all transaction costs associated therewith, such as legal
     fees, accounting fees, brokerage fees and related matters
     associated with the negotiation, documentation and
     consummation of such transaction.

          (d)  Within ten (10) days of the date that the Purchase
     Price has been reduced to a sum certain, and in any event no
     later than thirty (30) days following the Purchaser's
     delivery to Edge of all financial statements necessary to
     make such a determination, Edge will cause the Purchaser to
     advance to the Seller an amount representing the difference,
     if any between (i) the sum of the Initial Cash Payment, all
     Monthly Payments, and any Fund-raising Payments made to the
     Seller during the Measurement Period and (ii) the greater of
     either (A) the Purchase Price or (B) the Minimum Purchase
     Price.

          (e)  Edge hereby guarantees the Purchaser's obligation
     to pay the Purchase Price to the Seller pursuant to the
     terms of this Agreement.

          (f)  In the event Edge does not have the Financial
     Wherewithal to pay the Purchase Price to the Seller when due
     after the end of the Measurement Period, then Edge will have
     until seventy-five (75) days after the end of the
     Measurement Period to negotiate with the Seller and the
     Shareholders an alternative method by which Edge shall pay
     such amount due (which discussions may include an issuance
     of restricted shares of common stock of Edge, a deferred
     payment plan, or a combination of such items and other items
     as mutually determined by the Parties).  If the Seller, at
     its sole discretion, fails to accept such alternative
     payment plan, then the Seller shall be entitled to pursue
     the remedies set forth on Schedule 2.4(f).

     2.5  Allocation of Purchase Price.

          (a)  The Purchase Price (as adjusted) for the Assets
     shall be allocated on the Closing Date (or as soon as
     practical thereafter) among the Assets in accordance with an
     allocation schedule to be prepared by the Purchaser and
     consented to by the Seller, which consent shall not be
     unreasonably withheld. Such allocation schedule shall be
     prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code.

                              -14-

<PAGE>

          (b)  In connection with a determination of the
     allocation schedule contemplated in Section 2.5(a) above,
     the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide such
     information as any of them shall reasonably request. The
     parties shall each report the federal, state and local and
     other Tax consequences of the purchase and sale contemplated
     hereby (including the filing of IRS Forms 8594) in a manner
     consistent with such allocation schedule and shall not make
     any inconsistent written statement or take any inconsistent
     position on any Tax returns during the course of any IRS or
     other Tax audit, for any financial or regulatory purpose, in
     any litigation or investigation or otherwise.

          (c)  Each party shall promptly notify the other party
     if it receives notice that the IRS proposes any allocation
     different from the allocation agreed upon in accordance with
     this Section 2.5.

     2.6  Excluded Liabilities. Neither the Purchaser nor Edge,
nor any of the Affiliates of the Purchaser or Edge, shall assume
or have any liability for any Liabilities (collectively, the
"Excluded Liabilities") of the Seller or any of its Affiliates,
or which in any manner relates to or arises out of the operation
of the Business or the ownership of the Assets during any period
prior to the Closing Date or which are owed by the Seller to any
of the Seller's Affiliates other than those obligations and
commitments set forth in Schedule 2.6, (the "Scheduled
Liabilities").

     2.7  Instruments of Transfer; Consents. At the Closing, the
Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser (i) a Bill of Sale,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and (ii) all
necessary Consents to consummate the Transactions.

     2.8  Further Assurances and Prorations . At the Closing, and
at all times thereafter as may be reasonably necessary, the
Seller and the Shareholders shall execute and deliver to the
Purchaser and/or Edge (i) such instruments of transfer as shall
be reasonably necessary or appropriate to vest in the Purchaser
good and indefeasible title to the Assets and to otherwise comply
with the terms, purposes and intent of this Agreement, and (ii)
such other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary or
appropriate to evidence the assignment by the Seller of the
Scheduled Contracts.  At the Closing, and at all times thereafter
as may be reasonably necessary, the Purchaser and Edge shall
execute and deliver to the Seller and the Shareholders such other
instruments as shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to
evidence the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Further, to the extent prorations of certain items (such as year
2002 personal property Taxes on the Assets, prepaid insurance
premiums or similar items) are material, Edge and the Seller will
equitably account for such items in connection with or promptly
following the Closing.

violation of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws of the Seller, (b) result in a default, or give rise to
any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or loss of

     Neither the Seller nor any Shareholder is aware of, nor
     prior to the date hereof, have any of them received actual
     notice of, any past, present or future conditions, events,
     practices or incidents which could be reasonably expect to
     interfere in any material manner with or prevent compliance
     or continued compliance in all material respects with
     Applicable Law after the Closing. To the Seller's or any
     Shareholder's Actual Knowledge, no such Applicable Law, with
     a future compliance date could reasonably be expected to
     have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b)  Schedule 3.7(b) sets forth all Governmental
     Approvals and other Consents necessary for, or otherwise
     material to, the conduct of the Business or the ownership,

     Consents have been duly obtained and are in full force and
     effect, and the Seller is in compliance in all material
     respects with each of such Governmental Approvals and
     Consents held by it relating to the conduct or operation of
     the Business or the ownership, use or operation of the
     Assets.

          (c)  The Seller has filed with the proper authorities
     all material statements and reports required by the
     Applicable Laws to which it or any of its employees (because
     of his or her activities on behalf of his or her employer)
     is subject relating to the conduct or operation of the
     Business or the ownership, use or operation of the Assets.

     unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Seller's

     including in each case, a balance sheet and income statement
     (the Annual Financial Statements and Interim Financial
     Statements, collectively referred to as the "Financial
     Statements").  The Interim Financial Statements have been
     prepared consistent with the accounting methods historically
     used by the Seller and have been completed without formal
     assistance of or review by a certified public accountant.
     Consistent with historical practice, the Seller has
     adequately funded or accrued, as the case may be, all
     accrued expenses of the Business, if any, as of the date of
     the Interim Financial Statements.  The Disclosure Schedule
     contains a true, correct and complete copy of the Financial
     Statements.

          (b)  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8, the Financial
     Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP,
     consistently applied, and on that basis fairly present, in
     all material respects, the financial position of the Seller
     as of the dates indicated and the results of its operations
     and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject to
     normal, recurring accounting adjustments which do not and
     will not have any Material Adverse Effect on the Seller, the
     Business or the Assets).  Subject to the foregoing, the
     Financial Statements are true, complete and correct in all
     material respects and have been prepared from the books and
     records of the Seller and have been prepared consistently
     with past practices of the Seller and the Business.

          (c)  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8, without
     limiting the generality of this Section 3.8, the Accounts
     and other receivables of the Business which are classified
     as current assets in the Financial Statements are bona fide
     receivables, were acquired in the ordinary course of
     business, are good and collectible (except for stated
     reserves), are stated in accordance with GAAP and are not
     subject to any offset, counterclaim, credit or backcharges;
     there are no Accounts of the Business owned by the Seller or
     any Affiliates of the Seller which are not disclosed in the
     Financial Statements; all inventories, if any, reflected in
     the Financial Statements will be valued at the lower of cost
     or market, with cost determined using the average cost
     method; adequate provision will have been timely made in the
     Financial Statements for doubtful accounts and other
     receivables; sales will be stated in the Financial
     Statements net of discounts, returns and allowances; all
     Taxes assessable against the Seller and due or paid will be
     timely and adequately reflected in the Financial Statements
     and all Taxes assessable against the Seller and not yet due
     and payable will be timely and fully accrued or otherwise
     provided for therein; and any items of income or expense
     that are unusual or of a nonrecurring nature will be
     separately disclosed in the Financial Statements.

          (d)  The Business has no Liabilities (contingent or
     otherwise) other than:

               (i)  those timely set forth or reserved against in
          the respective Financial Statements;

               (ii) contractual or other obligations of
          performance (other then obligations arising by reason
          of a default in performance) incurred in the ordinary
          course of business and not required to be reflected in
          the Financial Statements under GAAP consistently
          applied; and

                              -18-

<PAGE>

               (iii)those incurred since the date of the date of
          the latest Interim Financial Statement in the ordinary
          course of business, consistent with past practices.

          (e)  After reflecting all year-end correcting and
     adjusting entries for the fiscal years ended December 31,
     2001 and all period-end correcting and adjusting entries
     made as of the latest Interim Financial Statements (which
     entries have been disclosed in Schedule 3.8(e)), (i) the
     Seller's books of account have been accurately kept in all
     material respects with respect to such time periods, (ii)
     the transactions entered therein represent bona fide
     transactions, and (iii) the revenues, expenses, assets and
     Liabilities of the Business have been properly recorded in
     such books in all material respects, consistent with
     historical practice, with respect to such time periods;
     provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in
     all cases all pre-closing expenses have been recorded prior
     to closing and all recorded revenues are bona fide.

     3.9  Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except as set
forth on Schedule 3.9 and, except as and to the extent reflected
and accrued for in accordance with GAAP on the date of the latest
Interim Financial Statement or incurred in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practice since the date of the
latest Interim Financial Statement, either individually or in the
aggregate, the Business has no Liability of any nature whatsoever
(including any Tax Liabilities or deferred Tax Liabilities
incurred in respect of or measured by income) or any other
material Liabilities relating to or arising out of any act,
omission, transaction, circumstance, sale of Products or
services, state of facts or other condition that occurred or
existed on or before the Closing, whether or not due or payable.
The Business is not subject to any obligation or requirement to
provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan,
capital contribution or otherwise) in any Person. None of the
employees of the Seller employed in the Business is now or will
by the passage of time hereinafter become entitled to receive any
vacation time, vacation pay or severance pay attributable to
services rendered prior to the Closing Date that is not reflected
as an accrued liability on the latest Interim Financial
Statement.

     3.10 Title to and Condition of Assets and Property.

          (a)  Except for Assets being leased or being used under
     licenses disclosed in this Agreement or except as
     specifically set forth in Schedule 3.10(a), the Seller has
     good and indefeasible title to all Assets and such Assets
     are free and clear of all Liens, except for the Permitted
     Encumbrances. Except for the Excluded Assets, the Assets
     constitute all assets and properties, real, personal,
     tangible and intangible that are currently being utilized in
     the Business and that are necessary in the conduct of the
     Business as presently being conducted.  Except for the
     Excluded Assets, all assets or properties used by the Seller
     in the operation of the Business and owned by any Person
     other than the Seller will be transferred, leased or
     licensed to the Purchaser following the Closing under valid,
     current assignments, leases or license arrangements. Except

                              -19-

<PAGE>

     as set forth in Schedule 3.10(a), since the date of the
     latest Interim Financial Statement, the Seller has not sold,
     transferred, leased, distributed or otherwise disposed of
     any of the Assets, or agreed to do so, except for sales of
     inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with
     past practices.  Upon consummation of the Transactions, the
     Purchaser will own the Assets free and clear of all Liens,
     except for Permitted Encumbrances.

          (b)  To the Knowledge of the Seller and the
     Shareholders, except as set forth in Schedule 3.10(b), the
     tangible Assets of the Business (i) are in good operating
     condition and repair, subject to ordinary wear and tear,
     (ii) are fit in all material respects for the purposes for
     which they are being used and are capable of being used in
     the Business as presently being conducted without present
     need for any material repair or replacement, except in the
     ordinary course of the Business, (iii) except for such
     exceptions as will not materially affect the conduct of the
     Business, conform in all material respects with all
     Applicable Laws, (iv) have been fitted and equipped with all
     required guards, shields, cutoffs and other safety devices
     and such devices are in good operating condition and repair,
     subject to ordinary wear and tear, and (v) in the aggregate
     provide capacity that is consistent with prior capacity
     needs and can enable the Purchaser to engage in commercial
     operation of the Business on a continuous basis (subject to
     normal maintenance and repair outages in the ordinary
     course). No material item of maintenance, replacement or
     repair has been deferred or neglected. Except as set forth
     in Schedule 3.10(b), all of the Assets (subject to normal
     maintenance, replacement or repair outages in the ordinary
     course of Business) have been and are now producing
     merchantable Products or Services and are adequate and
     sufficient for all material operations conducted by the
     Business in substantially the same manner as currently
     conducted prior to Closing.

          (c)  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(c), no
     Hazardous Material exists in any structure located on, or
     exists on or under the surface of, any real property owned,
     leased or otherwise used by the Seller, any predecessor or
     successor to the Seller or Affiliate of the Seller in the
     Business.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10(c), the
     Seller has not been in violation of any Environmental Law
     and, except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(c), there have not
     been any environmental assessments or environmental audits
     of the Seller or any of its Assets. Except as set forth in
     Schedule 3.10(c), there is no Proceeding pending or
     Threatened against the Seller relating to compliance with
     any Environmental Law nor is there a basis for the assertion
     against the Seller of any such Proceeding. Except as set
     forth in Schedule 3.10(c), neither the Seller nor any
     Shareholder has received notice of, nor does any of them
     know of, any past, present or future events, conditions,
     facts, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents,
     actions or plans which relate to the ownership, use,
     operation, lease or occupancy of any Asset or the operation
     of the Business, that may interfere with, or prevent
     compliance with, or continued compliance or that might
     constitute a violation of, any Environmental Law.

          (d)  All tangible personal property held by the Seller
     in the Business under lease is held under a valid and
     binding lease agreement that is in full force and effect.
     The Seller is not in default, and no notice of alleged
     default has been received by the Seller, under any such
     lease.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10(d), none of the
     rights of the Seller under any such lease will be impaired
     by the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement.

                              -20-

<PAGE>

          (e)  Since the date of the latest Interim Financial
     Statement, no property of the Seller used in the Business
     has been damaged by any casualty or act of God which,
     singularly or in the aggregate, would have a Material
     Adverse Effect, or been subject to any condemnation
     proceedings.

     3.11 Investigation or Litigation.  Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.11, there is no Proceeding pending or Threatened
against, relating to or affecting the Seller, any Shareholder,
the Assets or the Business.  None of the Seller, any Shareholder,
the Business or the Assets is subject to any currently existing
Proceeding by any Governmental Body or other Person.  To the
Seller's and the Shareholders' knowledge, there is no basis for
the assertion of any Proceeding by any Governmental Body or any
Person regarding any violation of any Environmental Law or any
other Applicable Law that would have a Material Adverse Effect on
the operations of the Business.

     3.12 Absence of Certain Changes.  Since the date of the
latest Interim Financial Statement, except as set forth on
Schedule 3.12, the Seller has owned and operated the Assets and
the Business in the ordinary course of business and consistent
with past practice and there has not been any material adverse
change in the Business, the Assets or in the operation, condition
(financial or otherwise), assets, properties, Liabilities or
general business prospects of the Seller.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, except as set forth on Schedule
3.12, the Seller has not since the date of the latest Interim
Financial Statement (other than as contemplated by this
Agreement):

          (a)  suffered any Material Adverse Effect with respect
     to the Assets or the Business or experienced any event or
     failed to take any action which reasonably could be expected
     to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

          (b)  suffered any loss, damage, destruction or other
     casualty of the Assets (whether or not covered by insurance)
     or suffered any loss of or change in relationship with
     officers, employees, dealers, distributors, independent
     contractors, sales representatives, customers or suppliers
     which had or could be expected to result in a Material
     Adverse Effect;

          (c)  subjected any Asset or permitted any Asset to
     become subject to, or incurred, any Lien (whether voluntary
     or by operation of law) absolute, accrued, contingent or
     otherwise, whether due or to become due, except for

     the Code), or breach of any duty under ERISA or other

     conditions to favorable Tax treatment, applicable to such
     plan), which could result, directly or indirectly (including
     through any obligation of indemnification or contribution),
     in any Taxes, penalties or other Liability to the Seller or
     any ERISA Affiliate.  No Proceeding (other than those
     relating to routine claims for benefits) is pending or
     Threatened or, to the best knowledge of the Seller and the
     Shareholders, contemplated with respect to any such Plan.

          (c)  Neither the Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate
     maintains any employee benefit plans subject to the funding
     requirements of ERISA Section 302 or Code Section 412.

     through an association described in Code Section 501(c)(9).

     (under the provisions of any agreements or other governing
     documents or Applicable Law) with respect to all Plans
     maintained by the Seller as they relate to the Business,
     either have been made or have been accrued (and all such
     unpaid but accrued amounts with respect to the Business are

     as required by Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA) or

disputes currently subject to any Proceeding, there is no
Proceeding pending or Threatened or, to the knowledge of the
Seller or any Shareholder, contemplated with respect to any
employee employed in the operation of the Business, and no basis
exists for asserting any of the foregoing. There  has been no
labor strike, dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or Threatened
against or affecting the Seller. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.14, the Seller has no obligations, contingent or otherwise,
under any employment or consulting agreement, or collective

unfair labor practice and, except for such nonmaterial violations
as will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the conduct of the
Business after the Closing, has complied with all provisions of
Applicable Law pertaining to the employment of employees employed
in the operation of the Business, including all such Applicable
Laws relating to labor relations, equal employment, employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours,
entitlement, prohibited discrimination or other similar
employment practices or acts. No agreement which is binding on
the Seller restricts it

of the Seller or the Shareholders or other shareholders of the
Seller is pending or Threatened, and the results of any completed
audits are properly reflected in the Financial Statements. Other

Shareholders or any of the other shareholders of the Seller have
granted any extension to any taxing authority of the limitation
period during which any Tax liability may be asserted. The Seller

     the dates indicated and the results of its operations and
     cash flows for the periods then ended (subject to normal,
     recurring accounting adjustments which do not and will not
     have any Material Adverse Effect on Edge).  Subject to the
     foregoing, the Financial Statements are true, complete and
     correct in all material respects and have been prepared from
     the books and records of Edge and have been prepared
     consistently with past practices of Edge.

          on or before the Closing Date, assigning to the
          Purchaser all of the Seller's right, title and interest
          therein and thereto with, at the Purchaser's election,
          any required Consent endorsed thereon.

          (e)  Employment Agreement.  Each Shareholder shall have
     delivered to the Purchaser such Shareholder's specific
     Employment Letter, and other key employees have entered into
     employment agreements with the Purchaser on terms and
     conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser.

          (f)  The Purchaser's Investigations.  The Purchaser
     shall have had a full and complete opportunity to inspect
     all aspects of the Business and the Assets as well as any
     and all books, records, contracts and other documents
     relevant to the Business or the Assets.  The investigations
     by the Purchaser and its representatives in connection with
     the proposed transactions shall not have caused the
     Purchaser or its representatives to become aware of any
     facts or circumstances relating to the Business, operations,
     Assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of
     operations or affairs of the Seller, or that, in the sole
     and absolute discretion of the Purchaser, make it
     inadvisable for the Purchaser to proceed with the
     transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (g)  Litigation.  There shall be no effective Order of
     any nature (including any temporary restraining order)
     issued by a court or Governmental Body of competent
     jurisdiction restraining or prohibiting consummation or
     altering the terms of any of the Transactions, or actions
     seeking damages based upon the foregoing which the Purchaser
     reasonably deems material, and the Seller shall not have
     become subject to any litigation, which, if adversely
     determined, could, in the reasonable opinion of the
     Purchaser, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business or
     Assets.

          (h)  No Material Adverse Effect.  No event, occurrence,
     fact, condition, change, development or effect shall have
     occurred , exist or come to exist (whether or not covered by
     insurance) since the date of the latest Interim Financial
     Statement, that individually or in the aggregate, has
     constituted or resulted in, or could in the opinion of the
     Purchaser be expected to constitute or result in, a Material
     Adverse Effect.

          (i)  Certificate of Good Standing. The Seller shall
     cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a currently effective
     Certificate of Good Standing of the Seller from the
     Secretary of State of each state in which the Seller is
     foreign qualified and conducts business.

                              -39-

<PAGE>

          (j)  Consents. The Seller shall have delivered copies
     of all Consents from third Persons and all necessary action
     shall have been taken to assign to the Purchaser the Assets,
     the Business and the Scheduled Contracts.

          (k)  Legislation. No law or legally binding regulation
     shall have been enacted that does or would prohibit,
     restrict or delay consummation of the Transactions or any of
     the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions or
     that does or would have a Material Adverse Effect on the
     Seller, the Assets or the Business.

          (l)  Real Estate Leases. The Seller shall have
     delivered to the Purchaser nondisturbance agreements from
     the mortgagee relating to any mortgage to which the Premises
     is subject, and consents to assignments, landlord lien
     waivers and agreement to the continuation of the options to
     renew from the landlords.

          (m)  Insurance Coverage. The Seller shall have made all
     necessary arrangements to provide for insurance coverage
     comparable to the coverage afforded under the policies in
     Schedule 3.20 in favor of the Purchaser, such coverage to
     become effective as of the Closing Date, the costs of which
     shall be borne by the Purchaser.

          (n)  Adequate Financing. UDT Consulting will have in
     place and immediately available upon the Closing Date, a
     line of financing upon terms and continuing acceptable to
     Edge and Purchaser, in the exercise of their reasonable
     discretion.

          (o)  Other Matters. The Seller shall have delivered to
     the Purchaser, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
     to counsel for the Purchaser, such certificates and other
     evidence as the Purchaser may reasonably request as to the
     satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Section
     6.3.

7.   CLOSING AND TERMINATION

     7.1  Closing Date.  Subject to the right of the Purchaser,
the Seller and the Shareholders to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, the closing for the consummation
of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the
"Closing") shall, unless another date or place is agreed to in
writing by the Seller, the Shareholders and the Purchaser, take
place at the offices of Arter & Hadden LLP, 1717 Main Street,
Suite 4100, Dallas, Texas 75201, at 10:00 a.m. on no later than
the third day after all Closing Conditions in Sections 6.1, 6.2,
and 6.3 have been met (the "Closing Date") or such other place
and date as the parties may agree upon in writing. The Closing
shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day following the
Closing Date.

     7.2  Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any
time prior to the Closing Date:

          (a)  by mutual consent of the Purchaser, Edge, the
     Seller and the Shareholders;

                              -40-

<PAGE>

          (b)  by either the Seller, the Purchaser or Edge by
     written notice to the other party if the Transactions shall
     not have been consummated on or before May 31, 2002, unless
     such date shall be extended by mutual written consent of the
     parties hereto; provided, however, that no party shall be
     permitted to terminate hereunder if such party is in
     violation of this Agreement;

          (c)  by the Purchaser or Edge by written notice to the
     Seller and the Shareholders if any of the conditions set
     forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 shall not have been, or if it
     becomes apparent that any such conditions will not be,
     fulfilled by May 31, 2002, unless such failure shall be due
     to the failure of the Purchaser or Edge to perform or comply
     with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof
     to be performed or complied by the Purchaser or Edge prior
     to the Closing; or

          (d)  by the Seller by written notice to the Purchaser
     and Edge if any of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1
     and 6.2 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that
     any such conditions will not be, fulfilled by May 31, 2002,
     unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the
     Seller or the Shareholders to perform or comply with any of
     the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be
     performed or complied with by the Seller or the
     Shareholders, as the case may be, prior to the Closing.

     7.3  Effect of Termination.  In the event of the termination
of this Agreement as provided herein, this Agreement shall become
wholly void and have no further force and effect, except as
hereinafter provided; and there shall be no liability on the part
of the Seller, the Shareholders, the Purchaser or Edge (or their
respective officers or directors), except (a) as specified in
Section 9.2 hereof relating to fees and expenses and in Section
5.7 hereof relating to brokers, (b) for any Damages suffered by
the Purchaser or Edge resulting from the Seller's or any
Shareholder's breach of the Seller's or Shareholders' respective
representations and warranties hereunder or the Seller's or
Shareholders' respective breach of the covenants required to be
performed by or complied with by the Seller or the Shareholders
hereunder or under any Operative Document, and (c) for any
Damages suffered by the Seller or the Shareholders resulting from
the Purchaser's breach of the Purchaser's representations and
warranties hereunder or the Purchaser's breach of the covenants
required to be performed by or complied with by the Purchaser
hereunder or under any Operative Document.  Nothing contained
herein shall relieve any party from liability for its breach of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be
liable for consequential damages or for damages caused by the
failure to obtain a required Consent.

     7.4  Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Closing
Date, any party hereto that is entitled to the benefits hereof
(with respect to any such corporate party by action taken by its
Board of Directors or a duly authorized officer), may (a) extend
the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other
acts of the other party or parties hereto, (b) in whole or in
part, waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties
of the other party or parties hereto contained herein or in any
Operative Document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) in whole or
in part, waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other
party or parties hereto or conditions contained herein.  Any
agreement on the part of any party hereto to any such extension
or waiver shall not be valid unless it is set forth in an
instrument in writing signed and delivered on behalf of such
party.

8.   SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNIFICATION AND REMEDIES,
     CONTINUING COVENANTS

     8.1  Survival.

          (a)  The covenants, representations and warranties of
     the Seller and the Shareholders set forth herein and in the
     Operative Documents shall survive the Closing and the
     consummation of the Transactions and shall continue in full
     force and effect for eighteen (18) months after Closing or
     the expiration or termination of this Agreement, whichever
     first occurs (the "Seller Survival Period").

          (b)  The covenants, representations and warranties of
     the Purchaser set forth herein and in the Operative
     Documents shall survive the Closing and the consummation of
     the Transactions and shall continue in full force and effect
     until the Purchaser has made payment in full to the Seller
     at the Purchase Price or the earlier expiration or
     termination of this Agreement, whichever first occurs
     ("Survival Period").

          (c)  Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the
     Survival Period shall be extended automatically to include
     any time period necessary to resolve a claim for
     indemnification which was made before the expiration of the
     Survival Period, but not resolved prior to its expiration,
     and any such extension shall apply only as to the claims
     asserted and not so resolved within the Survival Period.
     Liability for any such item shall continue until such claim
     shall have been finally settled, decided or adjudicated.

     8.2  Indemnity by the Seller. The Seller and the
Shareholders shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the
Purchaser and its Affiliates (the "Purchaser Indemnitees"),
harmless from and against:

          (a)  any Damages suffered or incurred arising out or as
     a result of any Liability of the Seller or any Shareholder,
     or any Affiliate of the Seller or the Shareholders, arising
     on or prior to the Closing Date (except for the Scheduled
     Liabilities);

          (b)  any Damages suffered or incurred because of the
     breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made
     by the Seller or the Shareholders in this Agreement or the
     Operative Documents;

          (c)  any Damages based on, arising out of, or resulting
     from the breach or failure or alleged breach or failure by
     the Seller or the Shareholders to perform any agreement,
     covenant or other obligation contained in this Agreement or
     in any Operative Document;

                              -42-

<PAGE>

          (d)  any Damages based on, arising out of, or resulting
     from any employment relationship, or for any salary or other
     compensation or benefits attributable to service or
     employment with the Seller or any of its Affiliates
     (including any Employee Benefit Plan, all Liabilities to any
     Person under the Occupational Safety and Health Act
     ("OSHA"), all Liabilities under ERISA or the Code, and all
     Liabilities to any Governmental Body), in each case arising
     or resulting from facts or circumstances existing on or
     prior to the Closing Date and in each case excluding the
     Scheduled Liabilities;

          (e)  any Damages based on, arising out of, or resulting
     from the failure or alleged failure of the Seller or the
     Shareholders, or any Affiliate of the Seller or the
     Shareholders, to comply with Applicable Law, including any
     failure or alleged failure to comply with, or failure or
     alleged failure to take any remedial action arising under,
     any Environmental Law, in each case relating to the
     ownership, use and/or operation of the Assets and the
     operation of the Business on or prior to the date of
     Closing;

          (f)  any Damages based on, arising out of, or resulting
     from the failure or alleged failure of the Seller or any
     Shareholder or any Affiliate of the Seller or the
     Shareholders, to pay or withhold any Tax imposed on the
     Seller and/or the Shareholders, the Business and/or the
     Assets or for failing or allegedly failing to accurately
     complete any return due with regard thereto, in each case
     relating to the ownership, use and/or operation of the
     Assets and the conduct of the Business on or prior to the
     Closing and in each case excluding the Scheduled
     Liabilities;

          (g)  any Damages based on, arising out of, or resulting
     from the failure of the Seller or any Shareholder to pay
     when due any Tax (including sales or other transfer Taxes)
     triggered by, based on, arising out of, or attributable to
     the Transactions contemplated or effected hereunder;

          (h)  any Damages based on, arising out of, or resulting
     from the Excluded Assets; and

          (i)  the Transaction Expenses incurred by the Seller
     and the Shareholders.

     8.3  Indemnity by the Purchaser. The Purchaser and Edge
shall indemnify and hold the Seller, the Shareholders and their
respective Affiliates and the officers, directors, agents,
attorneys and accountants of each of them (the "Seller
Indemnitees"), harmless from and against:

          (a)  any Damages suffered or incurred arising out or as
     a result of any Liability of the Purchaser, or any Affiliate
     of the Purchaser, arising after the Closing Date;

          (b)  any Damages suffered or incurred because of the
     breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made
     by the Purchaser in this Agreement or the Operative
     Documents;

          (c)  any Damages based on, arising out of, or resulting
     from the breach or failure or alleged breach of failure by
     the Purchaser to perform any agreement, covenant or other
     obligation contained in Agreement or in any Operative
     Document, including the Purchaser's obligations to pay or
     perform the Scheduled Liabilities;

                              -43-

<PAGE>

          (d)  any Damages based on, arising out of, or resulting
     from the failure or alleged failure of the Purchaser or Edge
     to pay or withhold any Tax imposed on Edge or the Purchaser
     for periods from and after the Closing Date; and

          (e)  the Transaction Expenses incurred by the Purchaser
     and Edge.

     8.4  Defense of Claims.

          (a)  Notice of Claims. Any person entitled to
     indemnification pursuant to this Article (an "Indemnitee")
     shall promptly give written notice to the indemnifying party
     ("Indemnitor") after obtaining knowledge of any claim that
     it may have pursuant to this Article. Such notice shall set
     forth in reasonable detail the claim and the basis for
     indemnification. A failure to give timely notice as provided
     in this Section will not affect the rights or obligations of
     the Indemnitor or an Indemnitee hereunder, except to the
     extent that, as a result of such failure to provide timely
     notice, the Indemnitor is deprived of its right to recover
     any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was
     materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

          (b)  Third-Party Claims.

               (i)  Right to Assume Defense. An Indemnitee shall
          permit the Indemnitor to assume and control (at the
          Indemnitor's sole cost) the defense of a claim or
          Action arising from or involving a third party (a
          "Third-Party Claim") unless (a) the Indemnitor fails to
          promptly provide to an Indemnitee written notice of its
          election to assume defense of the Third-Party Claim,
          (b) an Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel
          that a conflict of interest exists between the
          Indemnitee and the Indemnitor with respect to the Third-
          Party Claim or with respect to any legal defense which
          may be available, (c) the Indemnitor fails to provide
          to the Indemnitee reasonable assurance of its financial
          capability to defend the Third-Party Claim and to
          provide indemnification with respect thereto, (d) the
          Indemnitee, in the exercise of its reasonable
          discretion, objects to the Indemnitor's choice of
          counsel, (e) the Indemnitee reasonably believes that
          the Indemnitor is not diligently conducting the defense
          of the Third-Party Claim, or (f) the Indemnitor fails
          to provide a written acknowledgment of its obligation
          to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Third-
          Party Claim. An Indemnitee may participate in the
          defense or settlement of a Third-Party Claim of which
          the Indemnitor has assumed the defense, provided,
          however, that such participation must be conducted
          through counsel retained at the Indemnitee's sole
          expense.

               (ii) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. The
          Indemnitor shall not consent to entry of any judgment
          or enter into any settlement without the prior written
          consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be
          unreasonably withheld (due consideration being given to
          the ongoing relationships between the third party
          making the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnitee),
          provided, however, the Indemnitor may consent to entry
          of any judgment or enter into any settlement without
          the written consent of the Indemnitee so long as the

                              -44-

<PAGE>

          judgment or settlement (a) includes an unconditional
          and complete release of the Indemnitee (without any
          Liability whatsoever to any Indemnitee) by the claimant
          or plaintiff making the Third-Party Claim, which
          release shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to
          the Indemnitee, and (b) involves no admission or
          acknowledgment of civil or criminal liability or fault
          of any kind. Alternatively, an Indemnitee shall not
          consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
          settlement without the prior written consent of the
          Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
          withheld (due consideration being given to the ongoing
          relationships between the third party making the Third-
          Party Claim and the Indemnitor), provided, however, the
          Indemnitee may consent to entry of any judgment or
          enter into any settlement without the written consent
          of the Indemnitor so long as the judgment or settlement
          (a) includes an unconditional and complete release of
          the Indemnitor (without any Liability whatsoever to any
          Indemnitor) by the claimant or plaintiff making the
          Third-Party Claim, which release shall be in a form
          reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor and (b)
          involves no admission or acknowledgment of civil or
          criminal liability or fault of any kind.

               (iii)     Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate
          with the other Parties in the defense of a Third-Party
          Claim irrespective of which Party is assuming such
          defense. Cooperation includes all reasonable requests
          for access to witnesses, records, materials and all
          other pertinent information in its possession or under
          its control.

     8.5  Offset. At any time and from time to time, the
Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to, and not in lieu of,
any right or remedy which the Purchaser may have against the
Seller and the Shareholders, under or pursuant to this Agreement,
or otherwise, to notify the Seller and the Shareholders in
writing (an "Offset Notice") that the Purchaser reasonably
believes that it is entitled to indemnity for Damages under
Section 8.2.  Any Offset Notice provided hereunder shall identify
the provision of this Agreement which the Purchaser believes
entitles it to such indemnity for Damages and shall identify the
facts which constitute the basis for such claim of indemnity and
the dollar amount of such claim.  If on or before thirty (30)
days after delivery of the Offset Notice, the Seller or the
Shareholders shall not have objected thereto, the Purchaser may,
but shall not be required to, offset against the Purchase Price,
the amount of the Damages claimed in the Offset Notice.  If on or
before thirty (30) days following delivery of the Offset Notice,
the Seller or the Shareholders shall notify the Purchaser in
writing (the "Offset Objection Notice") that the Seller or the
Shareholders question the amount of any Damages for which
indemnity was claimed thereon (or the entitlement to indemnity),
the Purchaser shall nonetheless be entitled to exercise its
rights of offset provided for in this Section 8.5, but only after
such claims for Damages have been Resolved.  A "Resolution" of a
claim for Damages hereunder shall mean: (i) the mutual agreement
by the Purchaser and the Seller; or (ii) with respect to any
claim for Damages the delivery of a final award of the
arbitrators under Section 8.7 hereof. A Resolution of a claim for
Damages shall also mean that such a Claim is "Resolved." Any
Offset Objection Notice provided hereunder shall specify the
provisions of this Agreement and any facts which support the
objection to the claim for Damages. The Purchaser shall not be
obligated to exercise the rights of offset provided in this
Section 8.5, and no failure to exercise any such right of offset
shall relieve the Seller or the Shareholders of any indemnity
obligations under Section 8.2 or otherwise.

                              -45-

<PAGE>

     8.6  No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  The foregoing
indemnification is given solely for the purpose of protecting the
Purchaser Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees and lenders of
the Purchaser to whom the Purchaser assigns its rights hereunder,
and shall not be deemed extended to, or interpreted in a manner
to confer any benefit, right or cause of action upon, any other
Person.

     8.7  Additional Agreement.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser and
Edge specifically agree that no Claim may be made (by virtue of
offset or otherwise) against the Minimum Purchase Price unless
such Claim is a Third-Party Claim; provided, however, nothing
contained herein shall prevent the Purchaser or Edge from
exercising all of its remedies under this Agreement (i) against
the Minimum Purchase Price for Third-Party Claims, or (ii)
against the Purchase Price in excess of the Minimum Purchase
Price for any Claims, whether or not such Claims are Third-Party
Claims (including, without limitation, exercise of any offset
rights).  The Parties agree that this Section 8.7 modifies all of
the relevant provisions of this Article 8.

     8.8  Arbitration.

          (a)  If the parties are unable to resolve any
     controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, or relating
     to, this Agreement (any such controversy, claim or dispute,
     a "Dispute") on or before the 30th day following the receipt
     by the parties of written notice of such Dispute from the
     other party or parties, which notice describes in reasonable
     detail the nature of the dispute and the facts and
     circumstances relating thereto, any one or more of the
     parties may, by delivery of written notice to the other
     parties, require that representatives of the parties meet at
     a mutually agreeable time and place in an attempt to resolve
     such Dispute.  Such meeting shall take place on or before
     the 15th day following the date of the notice requiring such
     meeting, and if the Dispute has not been resolved within
     fifteen (15) days following such meeting, any one or more of
     the parties may cause such Dispute to be settled by final
     and binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas by filing a written
     demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration
     Association, with a copy to the other party or parties, by
     submitting such dispute for arbitration within thirty (30)
     days following the expiration of the 15-day period following
     such meeting.  Except as herein stated, the arbitration will
     be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the
     Commercial Arbitration Rules of American Arbitration
     Association in effect at the time of filing of the demand
     for arbitration; provided that the parties agree that each
     party to the Dispute shall have discovery to the same extent
     as provided under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

          (b)  The Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on
     the other hand, will appoint one person to hear and
     determine the Dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt
     of notice of arbitration from the noticing party.  The two
     persons so chosen will select a third impartial arbitrator,
     and their majority decision will be final and conclusive

                              -46-

<PAGE>

     upon both parties hereto.  If either the Purchaser and Edge,
     on the one hand, or the Seller and the Shareholders, on the
     other hand, fails to designate its arbitrator within thirty
     (30) days after the notice provided for herein, then the
     arbitrator designed by the one will act as the sole
     arbitrator and will be deemed to be the single, mutually
     approved arbitrator to resolve the controversy.  In the
     event the parties are unable to agree upon a rate of
     compensation for the arbitrators, they will be compensated
     for their services at a rate to be determined by the
     American Arbitration Association.

          (c)  This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically
     enforceable against the parties by any court of competent
     jurisdiction, and may be challenged only upon the grounds
     provided in Section 10 to the United States Arbitration Act,
     9 U.S.C. Sec. 10.  Application may also be made to such
     court to confirm, modify or vacate any decision or award of
     the arbitrators, for an order of enforcement and for any
     other remedies, including equitable remedies, which may be
     necessary to effectuate such decision or award.  All the
     parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the
     arbitrators and of such court and waive any objection to the
     jurisdiction of such arbitrator and such court.

          (d)  One or more of the parties to any arbitration
     proceeding commenced hereunder shall be entitled, as a part
     of the arbitration award, to petition the arbitrators to
     award the costs and expenses (including reasonable
     attorneys' fees and interest of 12% from the date due until
     paid on any award) of investigating, preparing and pursuing
     an arbitration claim as such costs and expenses are
     determined by the arbitrators; provided that in the absence
     of such an award each party (considering, for this purpose,
     the Purchaser as one party and the Seller and the
     Shareholders as the other party), will pay its own costs and
     expenses and one-half of the fees and expenses of the
     arbitrator(s).

          (e)  The Purchaser and Edge, on the one hand, and the
     Seller and the Shareholders, on the other hand, shall each
     deposit one half of all estimated fees and expenses of the
     arbitration proceeding with the American Arbitration
     Association within fourteen (14) days after a Dispute has
     been submitted to arbitration.

          (f)  THE ARBITRATOR OR ARBITRATORS SHALL NOT BE
     EMPOWERED TO AWARD DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF COMPENSATORY DAMAGES
     (WHICH COMPENSATORY DAMAGES INCLUDE REASONABLE ATTORNEYS
     FEES AND EXPERT WITNESS FEES) AND EACH PARTY HEREBY
     IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF
     COMPENSATORY DAMAGES (INCLUDING PUNITIVE DAMAGES) IN ANY
     FORUM.

          (g)  The arbitrators will, upon the request of any
     party, issue a written opinion of their findings of fact and
     conclusions of law.

          (h)  Upon receipt by the requesting party of said
     written opinion, said party will have the right within
     twenty (20) days thereof to file with the arbitrators a
     motion to reconsider, and the arbitrators thereupon will
     reconsider the issues raised by said motion and either
     confirm or change their majority decision which will then be
     final and conclusive upon both parties hereto.  The costs of
     such a motion of reconsideration and the resulting written
     opinion of the arbitrators will be borne by the moving
     party.

     Shareholder hereby agrees that for a period of two (2) years
     and one (1) day after the Closing Date (such time period to
     be referred to hereafter as the "Post-Closing Period"), the
     Seller and each Shareholder will not use, publish, disclose
     or divulge, directly or indirectly, at any time, any of the

     obligations similar to those outlined in this Section 8.9 in
     any other agreement with Edge and/or with the Purchaser,
     including, without limitation, any employment agreement,
     then the terms of this Section 8.9 shall control the scope
     and duration of such obligations.

     competes with the Business, as now conducted or as may be

     developed to pursue such proposed activities).

          (b)  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.10 to
     the contrary, the Post-Closing Period shall be deemed to be

     to recruit, hire or solicit, directly or by assisting
     others, any employees or consultants either (i) employed by
     or associated with the Seller prior to the Closing Date  or
     (ii) employed by or associated with the Purchaser after the
     Closing Date and who were employed by, doing business with,
     or associated with the Purchaser within six (6) months of
     the time of the attempted recruiting, hiring or solicitation

     any partnership, joint venture, corporation, trust, or other
     business organization or entity, contact, solicit, or seek

     association, corporation, or other business organization or
     entity with whom or which either Edge, the Seller, and/or
     the Purchaser had a business relationship, including,
