STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and effective as
of July 15, 2005 between Inforte Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and
Dr. Glenn T. Stoops (“Shareholder”).

     WHEREAS, Shareholder owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of GTS Consulting, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), which is engaged
in the business of database marketing, data mining and decision support
services, including the development of marketing models, transaction analysis,
direct marketing, database management, database hosting, and other activities
related to the creation of marketing strategies (the “Business”) at its
facilities located at Roswell, Georgia (collectively, the “Facilities”)

     WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase from Shareholder, and Shareholder
desires to sell to Buyer, all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the respective meanings set forth in Section 11.17.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

     1. THE TRANSACTION

          1.1. Sale and Purchase of Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, Shareholder shall sell, convey, assign,
transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from the
Shareholder, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the
Company, no par value, representing all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of the Company (the “Shares”).

          1.2. Designated Buyers. Buyer may, upon notice to Shareholder, assign
its rights and obligations, in whole or in part, under this Agreement to one or
more of its wholly-owned Affiliates for the purpose of carrying out the
transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that Buyer shall be and
remain jointly and severally liable to Shareholder for all obligations of Buyer
and any such Affiliate(s) under this Agreement and the other documents and
instruments to be executed and delivered by Buyer or any such Affiliate(s)
pursuant hereto.

     2. PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENT

          2.1. Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the
Shares shall be (a) an amount in cash equal to Two Million One Hundred
Twenty-One Thousand Dollars ($2,121,000.00) (the “Initial Payment”); plus (b) an
amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (“First Installment
Payment”) payable on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (c) an amount
equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (“Second Installment
Payment”) payable on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (d) an
additional amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) (the “Contingent Payment”) on the terms described in Section 2.3
below.

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

          2.2. Closing Payment. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to
Shareholder an amount equal to the Initial Payment, made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account that Shareholder, at least forty-eight
(48) hours prior to the time for payment specified hereunder, has designated.

          2.3. Contingent Payment.

     (a) Calculation of Contingent Payment. The Contingent Payment shall be
calculated as follows:

     (i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), but only in the event that
the Net Revenue of the Company attributable to the Business from AOL (“AOL
Revenue”) during the Revenue Measurement Period is equal to or greater than Six
Hundred Eighty Eight Thousand Dollars ($688,000.00) (the “AOL Revenue Hurdle”);

     (ii) an additional Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), but only in
the event that (1) the condition of Section 2.3(a)(i) is satisfied, and (2) the
Net Revenue of the Company attributable to the Business from ELC (“ELC Revenue”)
for the Revenue Measurement Period is equal to or greater than Four Hundred
Ninety-Two Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($492,800.00) (the “ELC Revenue
Hurdle”); and

     (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the AOL Revenue Hurdle and the ELC
Revenue Hurdle shall be deemed satisfied if total Net Revenues of the Company
attributable to the Business during the Revenue Measurement Period exceed One
Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000.00).

     (b) Contingent Payment Schedule. The portion of the Contingent Payment
described in Section 2.3(a)(i) above shall be paid, if earned, on the third
anniversary date of the Closing Date. The portion of the Contingent Payment
described in Section 2.3(a)(ii) above shall be paid, if earned, on the fourth
anniversary date of the Closing Date.

     (c) Calculation of Net Revenue.

     (i) The AOL Revenue and ELC Revenue shall be calculated in a manner
consistent with Buyer’s practices for timing of revenue and the characterization
of revenue.

     (ii) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.3, for purposes of
this Section 2.3, the AOL Revenue and ELC Revenue for the Revenue Measurement
Period shall be initially calculated by Buyer and reviewed by Buyer’s
independent public accountants. Buyer shall make available to the Shareholder
such information and documentation, including books, records, contracts, audit
workpapers, operating and financial reports and other documents and instruments
and Buyer's personnel (including its internal and independent accounting
personnel) for all purposes reasonably related to the review and evaluation by
Shareholder of the Preliminary Contingent Payment Statement (as defined below).

2

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

     (iii) The initial determination of AOL Revenue and ELC Revenue shall be
made by Buyer on or before thirty (30) days following the expiration of the
Revenue Measurement Period and a statement (the “Preliminary Contingent Payment
Statement”) regarding the same, including supporting information regarding the
calculation of the AOL Revenue and ELC Revenue, will be delivered to Shareholder
on or before such date. If, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the
Preliminary Contingent Payment Statement, Shareholder shall determine that there
is an inaccuracy in the Preliminary Contingent Payment Statement, Shareholder
shall deliver to Buyer a written notice (“Dispute Notice”) setting forth such
alleged inaccuracy (the “Disputed Matters”). Buyer and Shareholder shall
endeavor in good faith to resolve the Disputed Matters by mutual agreement. If,
within fifteen (15) days after Shareholder delivers the Dispute Notice to Buyer
(the “Negotiation Period”), all Disputed Matters are resolved to the mutual
satisfaction of Buyer and Shareholder, the Preliminary Contingent Payment
Statement shall be revised to reflect such understanding and such revised
Preliminary Contingent Payment Statement shall be the “Contingent Payment
Statement” for purposes of this Agreement. If Buyer and Shareholder are unable
to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of any Disputed Matter within the
Negotiation Period, Buyer and Shareholder shall promptly submit any Disputed
Matters to the Independent Accountant. Such submission may include any
additional statements or supporting materials furnished on a timely basis by
Buyer or Shareholder. The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be
binding on the Parties, the Preliminary Contingent Payment Statement shall be
revised to reflect such decision and such revised Preliminary Contingent Payment
Statement shall be the “Contingent Payment Statement” for purposes of this
Agreement. If the Contingent Payment Statement reflects that Shareholder would
be entitled to a Contingent Payment greater than the Contingent Payment based on
the Preliminary Contingent Payment Statement, all fees of and costs incurred by
the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Buyer. If the Contingent Payment
Statement reflects that Shareholder would not be entitled to a greater
Contingent Payment, all fees of and costs incurred by the Independent Accountant
shall be borne by Shareholder. In the event that Shareholder does not deliver a
Dispute Notice within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Preliminary
Contingent Payment Statement, the Preliminary Contingent Payment Statement shall
be the “Contingent Payment Statement” for purposes of this Agreement.

          2.4. Form of First Installment Payment, Second Installment Payment,
and Contingent Payment (collectively, the “Follow-on Payments”).

     (a) Composition of Follow-on Payments. Each Follow-on Payment shall consist
of (i) cash in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of such Follow-on Payment
and (ii) that number of shares of Buyer common stock equal to twenty percent
(20%) of such Follow-on Payment (“Restricted Shares”). For purposes of
determining the number of Restricted Shares payable for each Follow-on Payment,
the price of the Buyer common stock will be the closing price on the second
business day preceding the day on which the Follow-on Payment is scheduled to be
made; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer’s stock price falls below
Three Dollars ($3.00)] per share, Buyer may in its sole discretion elect to pay
all or any part of the Restricted Shares portion of the Follow-on Payment as a
cash payment.

3

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

     (b) Restriction on Share Transfers. Shareholder shall be prohibited from
Transferring Restricted Shares until the second anniversary of the receipt of
such Restricted Shares.

     (c) Applicability of Securities Act. The distribution of shares to
Shareholder as part of each Follow-on Payment will not be registered pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such Restricted
Shares will be “restricted securities” as defined by 17 C.F.R. § 230.144
promulgated under the Securities Act. Thus, in addition to the Transfer
restriction provided in the foregoing Section 2.4(b), the Transfer of Restricted
Shares will be subject to rules described in 17 C.F.R. § 230.144. By executing
this Agreement, Shareholder acknowledges that he is knowledgeable of the various
transfer restrictions which may be imposed by the Securities Act and agrees to
hold Buyer and any of its directors, officers, employees, and shareholders
harmless with regard to any loss or perceived loss suffered by Shareholder as a
result of the application of the Securities Act to his Restricted Shares.

          2.5. Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control Event
occurs prior to the expiration of the Revenue Measurement Period, then the
conditions of Sections 2.3(a)(i) and (ii) shall immediately be deemed satisfied.
The Contingent Payment schedule described in Section 2.3(b) shall not be
affected by a Change of Control Event.

          2.6 Restructure of the Company. In the event that, prior to the
expiration of the Revenue Measurement Period, the Company (i) shall no longer be
a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer or (ii) is the subject of
a corporate restructuring by way of merger or otherwise, such that the Company
shall no longer be a separate legal entity, then the conditions of Sections
2.3(a)(i) and (ii) shall immediately be deemed satisfied. The Contingent Payment
schedule described in Section 2.3(b) shall not be affected by such deemed
satisfaction.

          2.7 Death of Shareholder. In the event Shareholder dies prior to the
expiration of the Revenue Measurement Period, then the conditions of Sections
2.3(a)(i) and (ii) shall immediately be deemed satisfied. The Contingent Payment
schedule described in Section 2.3(b) shall not be affected by the death of
Shareholder.

4

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

          2.8 Security.

     (a)In the event that (i) Buyer fails to maintain the Buyer Net Working
Capital at or above Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) (the “Buyer Net
Working Capital Threshold”), provided that the Buyer Net Working Capital
Threshold shall be reduced to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) if, after the
first anniversary date of the Closing Date, the Contingent Payment has not been
earned, or, after the second anniversary date of the Closing Date, the First
Installment Payment and the Second Installment Payment have been paid or
otherwise satisfied, or (ii) a Buyer Material Adverse Event has occurred and is
continuing, then Buyer promptly shall deposit cash to secure payment of the
Follow-on Payments in an escrow account with a financial institution reasonably
satisfactory to Shareholder, on terms and conditions mutually reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer, Shareholder and escrow agent, in an amount equal to
eighty percent (80%) of the sum of (i) the then unpaid amount of the First
Installment Payment and the Second Installment Payment, if any, plus, (ii) the
then earned and unpaid Contingent Payment, if any. It is the intention of Buyer
and Shareholder that the escrow account, if established, will give Shareholder,
to the extent permitted by law a first priority security interest or the
equivalent thereof, in the escrow account funds. Buyer shall take all action
reasonably requested to allow for, to the extent permitted by law, a first
priority security interest, or the equivalent thereof, in favor of Shareholder
in the escrow account funds

     (b) A “Buyer Material Adverse Event” shall mean either of the following:

     (i) Other than such litigation as is disclosed in Buyer’s most current
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 13, 2005, Buyer is the
defendant in a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, for which

     (A) The amount of damages claimed against Buyer is greater than the amount
of the Buyer Net Working Capital at the time of the initiation of such lawsuit
or arbitration proceeding minus the Buyer Net Working Capital Threshold (the
“Litigation Dollar Threshold”), and

     (B) One year has passed since the initiation of such lawsuit or arbitration
proceeding or, if prior to the one-year anniversary of the initiation of such
lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, Buyer has filed a motion for summary judgment
or a motion to dismiss all or a portion of the claims asserted in such lawsuit
or arbitration proceeding (but only if claims not subject to such motion or
motions are, by themselves, for an aggregate amount less than the Litigation
Dollar Threshold), until a ruling denying such motion for summary judgment or
motion to dismiss has occurred; or

     (ii) Buyer has been indicted of a criminal offense material to Buyer’s
business.

     (c) If Buyer Net Working Capital falls and remains below Twenty Million
Dollars ($20,000,000.00), then, subject to Shareholder executing such
confidentiality agreement as Buyer reasonably deems appropriate, Buyer shall
provide Shareholder with a monthly statement of the Buyer Net Working Capital.

     3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER

the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien upon the
Shares or any assets of the Company under any term or provision of the charter,

     (b) The allocation of purchase price among the assets of the Company shall
be made in accordance with Code § 338 and §1060 and any comparable provisions of
state or local Law, as appropriate. Shareholder and Buyer shall mutually agree

purposes consistent with such determination. Buyer and Shareholder hereby agree
to timely file IRS Form 8594 based on the allocations so determined.

connection with the filing of tax returns pursuant to this Section and any
audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Buyer, the Company,
Shareholder, and their respective Affiliates shall preserve all information,
returns, books, record and documents relating to any liabilities for Taxes with

that following the Closing Date, Shareholder shall (i) use commercially
reasonable best efforts to preserve and maintain for the benefit of Buyer the
goodwill of the Company’s business and the goodwill and relationship of the
Company with each of its customers, suppliers and employees and (ii) take all
reasonable steps to ensure the smooth and expedient integration of the Business
into Buyer’s managerial and operational structure. Furthermore, Shareholder
shall not willfully take any action, or omit to take any action, that would
reasonably be expected to be detrimental to the Business.

          5.7. Further Assurances. From time to time after the date of this
Agreement, upon request of any Party and without further consideration, each
Party shall execute and deliver to the requesting Party such documents and take
such action as may be reasonably requested by the requesting Party to consummate
more effectively the intent and purpose of the Parties under this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Buyer shall not subordinate any payment to Shareholder due by
Buyer under this Agreement in right or priority of payment to any other
unsecured creditor of Buyer.

     6. INDEMNIFICATION

          6.1. By Shareholder.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article 6,
Shareholder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, the Company and
their Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and other
representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and
against all Claims asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by
any Buyer Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out
of or resulting from: (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or
warranty of Shareholder contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement; (b) any
breach of any covenant of Shareholder contained in or made pursuant to this
Agreement; or (c) any other Claim arising with respect to the conduct of the
Business prior to the Effective Time (including any indebtedness for borrowed
money), other than accrued expenses, accounts payable and such other ongoing
obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
practice, and other than any Liability disclosed to Buyer in this Agreement or
the Disclosure Schedule.

20

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

          6.2. By Buyer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Article 6, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Shareholder
and his agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Shareholder
Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Claims asserted against, resulting
to, imposed upon or incurred by any Shareholder Indemnified Party, directly or
indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any
representation or warranty of Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this
Agreement; (b) any breach of any covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement;
or (c) any Claim arising with respect to the conduct of the Business following
the Effective Time.

          6.3. Indemnification of Third Party Claims. The following provisions
shall apply to any Claim subject to indemnification that is Litigation filed or
instituted by, or the making of any claim or demand by, any third party,
including any Governmental Entity (a “Third Party Claim”):

     (a) Notice and Defense. The Party or Parties seeking to be indemnified
(collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the Party or Parties from
whom indemnification is sought (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt
written notice (and in any event written notice delivered within sixty (60)
calendar days after the receipt of service or other notice of the commencement
of any suit, action or arbitration proceeding) of the Third Party Claim. The
Indemnifying Party may undertake and control the defense and/or settlement of
the Third Party Claim, by representatives chosen by it, if the Indemnifying
Party admits that it has an indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to
the Third Party Claim, in which case such assumption shall constitute the
Indemnifying Party’s undertaking to pay directly all costs, expenses, damages,
judgments, awards, penalties and assessments incurred in connection therewith.
With the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party
may undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim without admitting that it has
an indemnification obligation hereunder. Failure to give notice of the Third
Party Claim shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s duties or obligations
under this Article 6, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced
thereby. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending the Third Party Claim
actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle the Third
Party Claim.

     (b) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time
after notice of the Third Party Claim, fails to defend the Third Party Claim
actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party shall (upon further
notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of the
Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to the
Third Party Claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying
Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no right to challenge
the Indemnified Party’s defense, compromise, settlement or consent to judgment.

21

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

     (c) Indemnified Party’s Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Article 6, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that the Third Party
Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a
result of money damages or other money payments, then the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim or
consent to the entry of judgment with respect to the Third Party Claim, and (ii)
the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written prior consent of the
Indemnified Party, settle or compromise the Third Party Claim, or consent to the
entry of judgment with respect to the Third Party, that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
Indemnified Party of a release from all Liability in respect of the Third Party
Claim.

          6.4. Payment. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the
Indemnified Party any amount due under this Article 6. Upon judgment,
determination, settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and/or
to the Indemnified Party in reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to
be paid by it, the amount so determined by judgment, determination, settlement
or compromise and all other Claims of the Indemnified Party with respect
thereto, unless in the case of a judgment an appeal is made from the judgment.
If the Indemnifying Party desires to appeal from an adverse judgment, then the
Indemnifying Party shall post and pay the cost of the security or bond to stay
execution of the judgment pending appeal. Upon the payment in full by the
Indemnifying Party of such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to the
rights of such Indemnified Party, to the extent not waived in settlement,
against the person or entity that made the Third Party Claim.

          6.5. Limitations on Indemnification. Except for any willful or knowing
breach or misrepresentation, as to which claims may be brought without
limitation as to time or amount:

     (a) Time Limitation. No claim or action shall be brought under this Article
6 for breach of a representation, warranty, or covenant after the lapse of two
(2) years after the Closing Date. Regardless of the foregoing, however, or any
other provision of this Agreement:

     There shall be no time limitation on any claim or action brought for (A)
breach of any representation or warranty made in or pursuant to Sections 3.2 or
3.12(b), or (B) breach of any covenant contained in Sections 5.3, 5.4 or 5.6,
and Shareholder hereby waives all applicable statutory limitation periods with
respect thereto.

     (i) Any claim or action brought for breach of any representation or
warranty made in or pursuant to Sections 3.6 or 3.17 may be brought at any time
until the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the underlying obligation
is barred by the applicable period of limitation under federal and state Laws
relating thereto (as such period may be extended by waiver).

     (ii) If any act, omission, disclosure or failure to disclose shall form the
basis for a claim or action for breach of more than one representation or
warranty, and such claims have different periods of survival hereunder, then the
termination of the survival period of one claim or action shall not affect a
Party’s right to make a claim or action based on the breach of representation or
warranty still surviving.

22

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

     (iii) Neither Buyer’s nor Shareholder’s right to indemnification hereunder
based on breaches of the other party’s representations, warranties, covenants,
and obligations will be adversely affected by any investigation conducted or any
knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or
after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing. The waiver of
any condition based on the accuracy of any representation and warranty, or on
the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not
affect the right to indemnification hereunder based on such representations,
warranties, covenants, and obligations.

     (b) Amount. The aggregate amount of all Claims for which Buyer Indemnified
Parties shall be entitled to recover from Shareholder for breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant under Section 6.1(a) and (b) shall not
exceed Two Million One Hundred Twenty-One Thousand Dollars ($2,121,000.00) . The
aggregate amount of all Claims for which Shareholder Indemnified Parties shall
be entitled to recover from Buyer for breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant under Section 6.2(a) and (b) shall not exceed the amount of the
Purchase Price.

          6.6. No Waiver. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby shall not constitute a waiver by any Party of its rights to
indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether the Indemnified Party has
knowledge of the basis of the Claim at or prior to the Closing.

          6.7. Set Off. Buyer may, in addition to any other rights and remedies
that may be available to it under this Article 6, set off all or any portion of
such amounts against any amounts due and owing from Buyer or the Company to
Shareholder. Any amounts so set off shall be deemed to have been paid to
Shareholder as of the date on which written demand for payment of the amount in
question was given to Shareholder.

     7. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER

     The obligation of Buyer to effect the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver, at or prior to the Closing,
of each of the following conditions:

     (a) by the mutual written consent of Shareholder and Buyer;

after notice thereof shall have been received by the Party alleged to be in

     11. MISCELLANEOUS

          11.1. Disclosure Schedule. Shareholder has prepared the schedules
attached to this Agreement (individually, a “Schedule” and collectively, the

expressly qualified by reference to a Schedule, and any fact or item disclosed
on any Schedule shall be deemed disclosed on all other Schedules to which such
fact or item may reasonably apply so long as such disclosure is in sufficient
detail to enable a reasonable person to identify the other article or section of
this Agreement to which such information is responsive. The Disclosure Schedule
shall not vary, change or alter the language of the representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement, and to the extent the language in the
Disclosure Schedule does not conform in every respect to the language of such
representations and warranties, such language shall be disregarded and be of no
force or effect.

27

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

          11.2. Publicity. Each Party agrees to keep the terms of this Agreement
confidential, except to the extent required by applicable Law or Order or for
financial reporting purposes and except that the Parties may disclose such terms
to their respective accountants and other representatives as necessary in
connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Shareholder acknowledge that as a
public company registered with Securities and Exchange Commission, Buyer is
subject to federal and state securities laws and regulations that may create a
legal obligation to disclose certain information that is Confidential
Information under this Agreement. Disclosure of Confidential Information,
including the existence and terms of this Agreement, pursuant to securities laws
will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

          11.3. Assignment. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth
in this Agreement, including Section 1.2 and Section 5.3, none of the Parties
may assign, transfer or otherwise encumber this Agreement or its rights or
obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation
of Law, without the prior written consent of the other Party or Parties, and any
attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and without legal
effect.

          11.4. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, permitted successors and permitted assigns. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon any person any right

or any of their respective Affiliates.

the laws of another jurisdiction. Each Party stipulates that any Dispute shall
be commenced and prosecuted in its entirety in, and consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction and proper venue of, either the Cook County Circuit Court for the
State of Illinois or the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois, and each Party consents to personal and subject matter jurisdiction
and venue in such courts and waives and relinquishes all right to attack the
suitability or convenience of such venue or forum by reason of their present or
future domiciles, or by any other reason. The Parties acknowledge that all
directions issued by the forum court, including all injunctions and other
decrees, will be binding and enforceable in all jurisdictions and countries.
Each Party waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any Dispute.

          11.6. Severability. If the Tribunal or any court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions set forth in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, are illegal or excessively
broad as to duration, geographical scope or activity, then such provisions shall
be construed so that the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be
affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such illegal or
overly broad provisions shall be deemed, without further action on the part of
any person or entity, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the
extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable in the applicable
jurisdiction.

28

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

          11.7. Amendment and Modification. The Parties may amend, modify and
supplement this Agreement in such manner as may be agreed upon by them in
writing; provided, however, that Buyer may, in its discretion, require the
execution of any such amendment, modification or supplement by Shareholder.

          11.8. Waiver. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof
shall be effective unless expressly set forth in writing and executed by the
Party so waiving. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken
pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party
taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements contained herein and in any documents delivered or to be delivered
pursuant hereto and in connection with the Closing hereunder. The waiver by any
Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

          11.9. Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be personally
delivered; sent by telecopier or facsimile transmission; or sent to the
