6

other than in connection with expenses or advances of expenses incurred in the
ordinary course of business. None of the Company's or Opco's officers or
directors, or any members of their immediate families, are, directly or
indirectly, indebted to the Company or Opco or, to the Company's Knowledge, have
any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which
the Company is affiliated, other than Opco and Intelli Inc., or with which the

and/or holders of capital stock of the Company or Opco may own stock in (but not

company that may compete with the Company or Opco. None of the Company's or
Opco's respective officers or directors or any members of their immediate

Knowledge, no holder of capital stock of the Company has entered into any
agreements with respect to the voting of shares of the Company.
2.13 TITLE TO PROPERTY AND ASSETS. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.13, each of
the Company and Opco owns its property and assets, if any, free and clear of all
mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, loans and encumbrances, except for statutory
liens for the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and
encumbrances and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not
materially impair the Company's or Opco's ownership or use of such property or
assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases, each of the Company
and Opco is in compliance with such leases and, to the Company's Knowledge,
holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances other
than to the lessors of such property or assets.
2.14 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has made available to the Purchaser each
of the audited financial statements for the Company and Opco (including balance
sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows) as of and for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006
(collectively, the "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"). The Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The Financial Statements
fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating
results of the Company and Opco as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated
therein, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments. All accounts and notes
receivable, if any, reflected on the Financial Statements have arisen from bona
fide transactions in the ordinary course of business. Except as set forth in the
Financial Statements, neither the Company nor Opco has any material liabilities
or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in
the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2006 and (ii)
obligations under contracts and commitments
7
incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally
accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Financial Statements,
which liabilities and obligations, individually or in the aggregate, are not
material to the respective financial condition or operating results of the
Company or Opco. Except for indebtedness incurred by Opco pursuant to the
promissory note described in Schedule 2.9(d) (the "PROMISSORY NOTE"), neither
the Company nor Opco has any outstanding long-term indebtedness. The aggregate
remaining outstanding balance owed pursuant to the such Promissory Note equals,
as of the date hereof approximately US $2,100,000.

December 31, 2006, there has not been with respect to the Company or Opco:
(a) any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or taken as
a whole operating results of the Company and Opco taken as a whole,
from those which are reflected in the Financial Statements, except
changes in the ordinary course of business that have not had, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;

materially and adversely affecting the business, properties or
financial condition of the Company and Opco;
(c) any waiver or compromise by either the Company or Opco of a valuable
right or of a material debt owed to it;
(d) any satisfaction or discharge of any lien, claim, or encumbrance or

Company or Opco, or any of their respective assets, is bound or
subject;
(f) any material change in any compensation arrangement or agreement with
any employee, officer, director or holder of capital stock of either
the Company or Opco;

aware of any impending resignation or termination of employment of any
of its officers or key employees;
(i) any mortgage, pledge, transfer of a security interest in, or lien
created by either the Company or Opco with respect to, any of its
material properties or assets, except liens for taxes not yet due or
payable and liens that arise in the ordinary
8
course of business and do not materially impair the Company's or
Opco's respective ownership or use of such property or assets;
(j) any loans or guarantees made by either the Company or Opco to or for
the benefit of its respective employees, officers or directors, or any
members of their immediate families, other than travel advances and
other advances made in the ordinary course of its business;
(k) any declaration, setting aside or payment, or other distribution with
respect to any of the Company's or Opco's capital stock, or any direct
or indirect redemption, purchase, or other acquisition of any of such
stock by either the Company or Opco;
(l) to the Company's Knowledge, any other event or condition of any
character, other than events affecting the economy or either the
Company's or Opco's industry generally, that could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or
(m) any arrangement or commitment by either the Company or Opco to do any
of the things described in this Section 2.15.
2.16 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Schedule 2.16 sets forth all material employee
benefit plans maintained, established or sponsored by the Company or Opco, or in
or to which the Company or Opco participates or contributes. The Company or, as
applicable, Opco has made all required contributions and has no liability to any
such employee benefit plans, other than liability for health plan continuation
coverage described in Part 6 of Title I(B) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (or Canadian Law), and each of the Company and
Opco has complied with all applicable Laws in respect of any such employee
benefit plan.
2.17 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. Each of the Company and Opco has (i) filed all of
their respective tax returns and reports as required by Law, which returns and
reports are true and correct in all material respects; (ii) paid all respective
taxes and other assessments due; and (iii) established and are maintaining
current accruals that are adequate for the payment of any taxes incurred but not
yet due and payable with respect to their respective property and operations
through the date hereof. No waivers or extensions of any applicable statute of
limitations for the assessment or collection of taxes with respect to any tax
returns of the Company or Opco are currently in effect or proposed. There is no
unresolved claim by a taxing authority in any jurisdiction where the Company or
Opco does not anticipate to file tax returns that either the Company or Opco
could reasonably be expected to be subject to taxation by such jurisdiction.
There are no liens for taxes (other than for taxes not yet due and payable) upon
the assets or property of the Company or Opco respectively. Opco is a "Canadian
Controlled Private Corporation" for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and
the Canadian scientific research and experimental development tax incentive
program.
2.18 INSURANCE. The Company and Opco respectively have in full force and effect
fire and casualty insurance policies, with extended coverage, sufficient in
amount (subject to reasonable deductibles) to allow it to replace any of their
properties that might be damaged or destroyed.
9
2.19 LABOR AGREEMENTS AND ACTIONS. Neither the Company nor Opco is bound by or
subject to (and none of their assets or properties are bound by or subject to)
any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement
