been duly and validly authorized, and when issued by IFT, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not subject the holder
thereof to personal liability by reason of being such holder.

     B. Organization; Reporting IFT Status. IFT is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the
failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of
operations of IFT or on the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement (a "Material Adverse Effect").

     C. Authority; Validity and Enforceability. IFT has the requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of its
obligations. The execution, delivery and performance by IFT of this Agreement,
and the consummation by IFT of the transactions contemplated hereby has been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of IFT. This
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of IFT enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights and remedies generally. The Common Stock has been duly and
validly authorized for issuance by IFT and, when executed and delivered by IFT,
will be valid and binding obligations of IFT enforceable against it in
accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights and remedies generally.

     D. Non-contravention. The execution and delivery by IFT of the this
Agreement, the issuance of the Common Stock, and the consummation by IFT of the
other

                                       3
<PAGE>

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not conflict with
or result in a breach by IFT of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute
a default (or an event which, with notice, passage of time or both, would
constitute a default) under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of
IFT or (ii) except for such conflict, breach or default which would not have a
Material Adverse Effect, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other
material agreement or instrument to which IFT is a party or by which its
properties or assets are bound, or any law, rule, regulation, decree, judgment
or order of any court or public or governmental authority having jurisdiction
over IFT or any of IFT's properties or assets.

     E. Approvals. No authorization, approval or consent of any court or public
or governmental authority is required to be obtained by IFT for the issuance of
the Common Stock to the Sellers as contemplated by this Agreement, except such
authorizations, approvals and consents that have been obtained by IFT prior to
the date hereof.

     F. Commission Filings. None of the Commission Filings contained at the time
they were filed any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

     G. Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in the Commission
Filings, since October 31, 1998, there has not occurred any change, event or
development in the business, financial condition, or results of operations of
IFT constituting, and there has not existed any condition having or reasonably
likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

     H. Securities Law Matters. Based in part on the representations and
warranties of The Sellers set forth in Article II hereof, the offer and issuance
by IFT of the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is exempt
from (i) the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and (ii) the
registration and/or qualification provisions of all applicable United States
state securities and "blue sky" laws. IFT shall not directly or indirectly take,
and shall not permit any of its directors, officers or Affiliates directly or
indirectly to take, any action, so as to make unavailable the exemption from the
Securities Act registration being relied upon by IFT for the issuance to Seller
of the Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement. No form of general
solicitation or advertising has been used or authorized by IFT or any of its
officers, directors or Affiliates in connection with the offer or sale of the
Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement to which
IFT is a party.

     I. Adequacy of Consideration. The Board of Directors of IFT has determined
that the consideration to be received for the Common Stock to be issued pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement is adequate in accordance with Section 153 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law.

<PAGE>

of any of such representations, warranties or covenants, the party to whom such

with:

     1. any misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any of IFT's

     2. any failure by the Seller to perform in any material respect any of
Seller's covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this
Agreement or any instrument, certificate or agreement entered into or delivered
by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

     D. Promptly after receipt by either party hereto seeking indemnification
pursuant to this Section IX (an "Indemnified Party") of written notice of any
investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which
indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party
promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this
Section IX is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement
thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party,
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and
forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure. In
connection with any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim
by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate legal counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) and to


                                       7

<PAGE>


participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear
the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal
counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party
shall have agreed to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded
that representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the
same legal counsel would not be appropriate (i) due to actual or, as reasonably
determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing
interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or
(ii) if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are
in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party and
which can not be presented by counsel to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after
notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs
separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x),
(y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be
borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal
counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The
Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or
compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not
include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities
with respect to such Claim or judgment.

     E. In the event one party hereunder should have a claim for indemnification
that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a third party, the
Indemnified Party promptly shall deliver notice of such claim to the
Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party disputes the claim, such dispute
shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party or by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the
procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any
award rendered by any arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent
jurisdiction thereof.

     X. GOVERNING LAW: MISCELLANEOUS.

     This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the conflicts of law
principles of such state. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of
the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of
Philadelphia or the state courts of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in the
City of Philadelphia in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement
and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection,
including any objection based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any
such proceeding in such jurisdictions. A facsimile transmission of this signed
Agreement shall be legal and binding on all parties hereto. This Agreement may
be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original. The headings of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the remainder of this
