(s) ACCURACY OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. None of the
representations or warranties of Corpas or the Corpas Control Shareholder
contain or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit or will
omit or misstate a material fact necessary in order to make statements in this
Agreement not misleading. Neither Corpas nor the Corpas Control Shareholder
knows of any fact that has resulted, or that in the reasonable judgment of
Corpas or the Corpas Control Shareholder will result, in a material change in
the business or operations of Corpas that has not been set forth in this
Agreement or otherwise disclosed to ICE and the ICE Stockholders on the
Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto.
(t) WARRANTIES AND WARRANTY CLAIMS. Corpas has not made any
written or other binding warranty or representation with respect to any of its
products, or any product that embodies or utilizes any of it or them. There are
no pending warranty claims by Corpas' customers with respect to any of its
products or services.
(u) COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. Corpas has complied with
all applicable securities laws, statutes, regulations and rules in connection
with the issuance of its securities.

has had the opportunity to ask questions concerning ICE and all such questions
posed have been answered to its satisfaction; (ii) has been given the
opportunity to obtain any additional information it deems necessary to verify
the accuracy of any information obtained concerning ICE; and (iii) has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is able to
evaluate the merits and risks of investing in ICE and to make an informed
investment decision relating thereto. Corpas' opportunity to so investigate ICE
and information obtained therefrom shall not affect ICE or any of ICE's
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. Corpas is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the
Act. Corpas is acquiring shares of ICE Common Stock on the date of the Closing
for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for
sale in connection with, the distribution thereof, and it has no present
intention of distributing or selling such shares of ICE Common Stock. Corpas
understands that such shares of ICE Common Stock have not been registered under
the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction,
and hereby agrees not to make any sale, transfer or other disposition of such
shares of ICE Common Stock unless
10
11
either (i) such shares of ICE Common Stock have been registered under the
Securities Act and all applicable state and other securities laws and any such
registration remains in effect or (ii) ICE shall have received an opinion of
counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ICE that registration
is not required under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities
laws.
(w) REPORTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. As all times since
acceptance by NASD of its application submitted to NASD pursuant to NASD Rule
6740 and Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, Corpas has filed all reports,
registrations and statements, together with any required amendments thereto,
that it was required to file with the SEC, including, but not limited to Form
15c2-11, Form 10-K, Forms 10-Q, Forms 8-K and proxy statements (collectively,
the "CORPAS REPORTS"). Corpas has previously furnished to ICE and ICE
Stockholders copies of all Corpas Reports filed with the SEC. As of their
respective dates (but taking into account any amendments filed prior to the date
of this Agreement), Corpas Reports complied in all material respects with all
the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and did not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of Corpas included in Corpas Reports comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods presented (except,
as noted therein, or, in the case of the unaudited statements, as permitted by
Form 10-Q of the SEC) and fairly present (subject, in the case of the unaudited
statements, to normal audit adjustments) the financial position of Corpas and
its consolidated subsidiaries as of the date thereof and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the periods then ended.
(x) OPPORTUNITY TO INVESTIGATE. Corpas (i) has had the
opportunity to ask questions concerning ICE and all such questions posed have
been answered to its satisfaction; (ii) has been given the opportunity to obtain
any additional information it deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any
information obtained concerning ICE; and (iii) has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that it is able to evaluate the merits and
risks of acquiring the ICE through the Merger and to make an informed investment
decision relating thereto. Corpas' opportunity to so investigate ICE and
information obtained therefrom shall not affect ICE's representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement.
(y) DISCLAIMER OF OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Except
as expressly set forth in this Article III, Corpas and the Corpas Controlling
Shareholder make no representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in
equity, in respect of Corpas, or any of its respective assets, liabilities or
operations, including, without limitation, with respect to merchantability or
fitness for any particular purpose, and any such other representations or
warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed.
