any portion of the LAP Interest or with respect to the LAP Interest to effect
any merger, consolidation or other reorganization or to enter into any agreement
with respect thereto. To Mishkin's actual knowledge (as hereinafter defined),
neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by Mishkin with any of the
provisions hereof will (i) violate, or conflict with, or result in a breach of
any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with the giving of
notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or
result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or
result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance
upon the LAP Interest, under any term, condition or provision of any agreement
or other instrument or obligation to which Mishkin is bound, or by which the LAP
Interest or LAP is bound or (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree,

material respect of, any applicable statute, law, ordinance, decree, order, rule
or regulation of any governmental body, nor, to Mishkin's actual knowledge (as
hereinafter defined), is there any basis for such a claim, action or proceeding.
To Mishkin's actual knowledge (as hereinafter defined) the consummation of this
Agreement and the sale of the LAP Interest contemplated hereby will not
constitute or result in any such default, breach or violation.
7.4 Litigation. To Mishkin's actual knowledge (as hereinafter
defined) there is no material suit, claim, action, proceeding or governmental
investigation now pending or threatened against Mishkin ("Mishkin Third Party
Litigation"), nor to Mishkin's actual knowledge (as hereafter defined) is there
any condition or set of facts which could give rise to any material Mishkin
Third Party Litigation before any court, administrative or regulatory body or
governmental agency, concerning or affecting any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. To Mishkin's actual knowledge (as hereinafter
defined), there is no decree, injunction or order of any court or governmental

9. Agreements Regarding ILX Shares. With respect to the transfer of the
ILX Shares, the parties agree as follows:
9.1 Securities Filings. Each party shall be responsible and
shall timely file any documents or other items required to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and any state regulatory authority. If a
transaction by Mishkin requires any such filing, Mishkin shall notify ILX of the
occurrence of the transaction for purposes of permitting ILX to comply with its
reporting requirements.
9.2 Acknowledgement of Transfer Restrictions. Mishkin
acknowledges and understands that the ILX Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as
5
amended, or any applicable federal or state securities laws, that ILX is under
no obligation to do so, and that the ILX Shares are restricted securities as
defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act"). Mishkin further understands that any sale or transfer of the ILX Shares
must be made in accordance with the Securities Act and any other applicable
federal or state securities laws or regulations. As used herein, "transfer"
shall mean a sale, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, gift, bequest, collateral
assignment, subordination to a security interest, attachment or any other
alienation, disposition or encumbrance of all or any part of the ILX Shares. Any
attempted transfer in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
ineffective and void.
9.3 Investment Representation. Mishkin represents to ILX that
he is acquiring the ILX Shares pursuant to this Agreement for investment
purposes only, and without the intention to distribute or otherwise transfer all
or any portion of the ILX Shares. The ILX Shares are being offered and issued by
the Company in reliance upon the exemptions available pursuant to the Securities
Act and applicable state securities acts. Mishkin has been fully informed as to
the circumstances under which he is required to take and hold such ILX Shares,
pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations
thereunder, and the applicable state securities laws. Mishkin has consulted with
his own counsel as to applicable limitations upon the resale of the ILX Shares,
and has not relied upon ILX to explain such limitations. An appropriate "stop
transfer" will be noted in the Company's records, and each certificate or other
instrument evidencing the ILX Shares shall bear a legend in recognition of the
foregoing.
9.4 Mishkin's Due Diligence. Mishkin represents and warrants
that he has been provided with access and the opportunity to obtain information
concerning the ILX Shares and the business of ILX, including ILX's public
filings, to address the principal officers of ILX with any and all questions
about LAP, including its financial position, and to evaluate the merits and
risks of an investment in ILX and of holding the ILX Shares. Mishkin further
represents and warrants that any questions raised by Mishkin concerning ILX or
the ILX Shares other than questions arising from ILX's representations and
warranties have been answered to the satisfaction of Mishkin.
9.5 Co-operation in Transfer. Subject in all instances to the
Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), and any other applicable federal and state securities laws and
regulations, ILX agrees to reasonably co-operate with Mishkin in any transfer or
proposed transfer by Mishkin of the ILX Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities
Act.
10. Condition Precedent. As a condition precedent to ILX's obligations
to purchase the LAP Interest from Mishkin and to perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement, ILX shall consummate a financing transaction with Bank One
Arizona, N.A. for a loan to ILX of not less than $700,000.00, on terms
acceptable to ILX in its sole discretion. Mishkin agrees to cooperate with ILX,
including in his capacity as a limited partner of LAP, to facilitate the above
described loan.

performance by both parties of this Agreement, effective as of the Closing:
