to be held in connection with the merger, or at the Effective Time contain

condition, business or operations of ITEC and its Subsidiaries taken as a 
whole.

        3.5     AUTHORITY FOR AGREEMENT.  ITEC has the corporate power to 
enter into this Agreement and to carry out their obligations hereunder.  No 
further corporate proceedings on the part of ITEC are necessary to authorize 
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  The execution and 
delivery of this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby 
will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, 
conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, or in any 
right to accelerate or the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance 
pursuant to, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or 
other organizational documents of ITEC or any other Subsidiaries of ITEC, or 
of any mortgage, indenture, lease, agreement or other instrument, permit,

connection with or in compliance with the provisions of the California 
Statute, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the securities or blue sky

disclosed on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles consistently applied, which would have a material 
adverse effect on the business, financial condition or prospects of ITEC.

contained as of its date, any untrue statement of a material fact or any 
omission to state a material fact required to be stated herein or therein or

        business or operations, other than changes in the ordinary course of
        business which have not been, either in any case or in the aggregate,

        employment agreement or severance agreement or effected (other than
        normal increases in the ordinary course of its business that are
        consistent with past practices and that, in the aggregate, have not
        resulted in a material increase in benefits or compensation expense) any
        material increase in the compensation payable or to become payable to
        its directors, officers or employees or any material increase in any
        bonus, insurance, pension or other employee benefit plan, payment or 
        arrangement made to, or with any such officers or key employees;

                (e)     entered into any material transaction other than in the

                (h)     materially changed its accounting methods, principles or
        practices; or

        3.9     COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.  The businesses of ITEC and 
its Subsidiaries are not being conducted in violation of any applicable law, 
ordinance, regulation, decree or order of any governmental entity, except for 
violations which either singly or in the aggregate do not and are not 
expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, 
business or operations of ITEC and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

        3.10    TITLE TO PROPERTY AND ASSETS.  ITEC owns its property and 
assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans and encumbrances, except 
such encumbrances and liens which arise in the ordinary course of business 
and do not materially impair ITEC's ownership or use of such property or 
assets.  With respect to the property and assets it leases, ITEC is in 
compliance in all material respects with such leases and, to the best of its 
knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or 
encumbrances.

        3.11    LITIGATION.  Except as described in any of the ITEC Reports, 
(a) no material investigation or review by any governmental entity with 
respect to ITEC or any of its subsidiaries is pending or, to the best of 
ITEC's knowledge, threatened, nor has any governmental entity indicated to 
ITEC an intention to conduct the same, and (b) there is no action, suit or 
proceeding pending or, to the best of ITEC's knowledge, threatened against, 
or affecting ITEC or its Subsidiaries at law or in equity, or before any 
arbitrator or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, 
commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, which (i) seeks to 
enjoin or otherwise attacks this Agreement or the transactions contemplated 
hereby, or (ii) either singly or in the aggregate are not expected to have 
any material adverse effect on the financial condition, business or 
operations of ITEC and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

        3.12    TAX MATTERS.  ITEC and its consolidated subsidiaries have 
timely filed all Federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be 
filed by them or on their behalf.  All taxes shown by such returns to be due 
and payable have been paid or are reflected as a liability on the ITEC 
balance sheets included in the ITEC Reports.  The accruals for taxes 
reflected on such ITEC balance sheets are adequate for all unpaid Federal, 
state, local or foreign taxes (including interest and penalties, if any, 
hereon) due or which will become due for any period commencing prior to the 
date of such ITEC balance sheets.

        ITEC neither provides nor has represented, promised or contracted

employee(s) or former employees are, or would be, provided with 
postretirement medical, dental, welfare or life insurance benefits upon their 
retirement.

to use the Rights, trade secret rights and other proprietary rights necessary 
for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, or it can obtain 
licenses therefor upon commercially reasonable terms, all without

person is infringing upon the Rights, trade secret rights and other 
proprietary rights owned by ITEC or used by ITEC.

instruments to which, ITEC is a party, which involve future revenue to or

full force and effect in all material respects, ITEC has no notice that any 
party to any such ITEC Material Contract intends to cancel, withdraw, modify 
or amend such ITEC Material Contract.  ITEC is not in material default or 
breach, and no event has occurred or shall occur by reason of the 
transactions contemplated herein which would constitute a default or breach, 
where such default or breach would entitle another party hereto to accelerate 
or terminate such ITEC Material Contract or otherwise impose a material 
penalty or forfeiture thereunder (whether with or without notice, lapse of 
time or the happening or occurrence of any other event), under any ITEC 
Material Contract.

        3.16.   FEES.  ITEC has not paid nor become obligated to pay any
