2.       EMPLOYMENT MATTERS; OFFICE LEASES; ASSETS TO BE SOLD; CONSIDERATION;
         CLOSING; APPROVAL OF CREDITORS' ACTION

2.1      EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

(a)      IIS has made, with the consent and approval of Seller, employment
         offers to substantially all of the employees of Seller (the "Hired
         Employees"). The effective start date for the Hired Employees hired
         will be deemed to be the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.8). IIS
         will pay such Hired Employees at base compensation rates agreed to by
         IIS and such Hired Employees. The terms and conditions of employment
         of all Hired Employees will be mutually agreed upon by IIS and such
         Hired Employees in each case. The Hired Employees shall have resigned
         from employment with Seller and or its subsidiaries and resigned from
         any other officer and director positions with Seller and its
         subsidiaries, effective as of the Closing Date, and Seller will accept
         all such resignations effective as of such date. IIS and certain of
         the Hired Employees, each of whom are separately identified on
         Schedule 2.1(a) (the "Key Employees"), together will enter into
         employment agreements (each an "Employment Agreement," and
         collectively the "Employment Agreements") in form and substance
         acceptable to IIS and such Key Employees. (For all other purposes of
         this Agreement, the term "Hired Employees" shall include the Key
         Employees.)

(b)      Seller hereby waives any and all noncompetition, nonsolicitation,
         confidentiality, assignment of inventions, and other similar
         restrictive covenants and agreements by and between Seller and the
         Hired Employees with respect to their employment by IIS, effective as
         of the Closing Date, and hereby releases the Hired Employees from such
         agreements or restrictions solely for such purposes. Seller agrees to
         assign and transfer to IIS all of Seller's rights under any such
         restrictive or other agreements between Seller and all of its current
         and former employees (including the Hired Employees). Seller will, upon
         request of IIS, provide reasonable assistance to IIS in such regard.

(c)      The obligation to pay all employee and other benefits, including,
         without limitation, health, dental, life, accidental death and
         disability, retirement, severance, and related or other benefits,
         which are payable to employees (including Hired Employees) under
         Seller's Employee Plans, including, in the case of Hired Employees,
         any that arise, are incurred or are based on events that occur on or
         prior to the actual date of hire by IIS (whether or not claims for
         such benefits are submitted on or prior to such date), as well as any
         statutory or other penalties payable to employees or former employees
         (including the Hired Employees) as a result of the late or non-payment
         (or underpayment) of wages, 401(k) plan withholdings, contributions or
         other compensation, and withholding amounts, will remain the sole
         responsibility of GNI, except as set forth in Section 3.21, and will


                                       3


         not be assumed by IIS, and Shareholder, and to the extent set forth in
         Section 11.4, Anchor, will indemnify and hold harmless IIS for such
         claims and amounts. IIS will be responsible for any benefits that are
         payable to Hired Employees under the terms of IIS's employee plans
         that arise, are incurred or are based on events that occur after the
         date of actual hire by IIS, including salary and any severance amounts
         to which such Hired Employees are or become entitled to under their
         arrangements with IIS. For the purpose of this Section 2.1(c), the
         term "events" means the item that is the subject matter of the claim
         (i.e., medical --- services, layoff, etc.) as well as the condition or
         injury leading to the filing of the claim. IIS will not assume or be
         responsible for any liability in respect of any benefits that are
         payable at any time to, or in respect of, current or former employees
         of Seller not employed by IIS. GNI will continue to provide disability
         coverage, if applicable, to any Hired Employee who is unable to report
         to work with IIS due to short- or long-term disability until such
         employee reports to work for IIS, and to any current or former Seller
         employees that are not hired by IIS.

(d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.1(c) of
         this Agreement, IIS agrees to award to each Hired Employee an amount of
         vacation days equal to such Hired Employee's remaining Paid Time Off
         ("PTO") days as of November 30, 2001, and as adjusted through the date
         of Closing, capped at a monetary equivalent of $145,437 (collectively,
         the "Hired Employee Vacation Grants"). IIS's obligation to make such
         Hired Employee Vacation Grants will be subject to such Hired Employee's
         waiver and release of PTO liabilities with Seller.

2.2      OFFICE LEASES

         IIS and Seller agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain financial concessions and enter into arrangements with Seller's
landlords for possession by IIS of the office premises (or portion thereof)
covered under the Office Leases at Closing (collectively the "Premises"),
pursuant to which IIS will enter into new leases for the Premises simultaneously
with the termination of the Office Lease, sublet the Premises, or take an
assignment of the Office Leases, or combination thereof, provided the terms are
no less favorable to IIS than those currently provided to Seller and provided
such lease documentation is satisfactory to IIS in form and substance. In the
event IIS does occupy any of the Premises, IIS will reimburse Seller for a
prorated rental payment for that portion of the current month remaining after
the Closing Date for each of the Premises IIS does occupy, and IIS will make
such payments, if any, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date (for purposes
of illustration only, if the Closing Date is January 15, 2002, not later than
January 25, 2001 IIS will reimburse Seller for 16/31 of the rental payment made
to the landlord for January).

2.3      ASSETS TO BE SOLD

         Pursuant to the Sale Order and Chapter 128 of the Wisconsin Statutes,
and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at
the Closing, Seller shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to IIS, and
IIS shall purchase and acquire from Seller, free and clear of any Encumbrances
in accordance with the Sale Order, all of Seller's right, title and interest in
and to the following assets:

         projects any of the Hired Employees performed services or to whom
         products were shipped in the twelve months prior to the date hereof;

         Schedule 2.3(e) and the goodwill associated therewith;

         customer lists and records, referral sources, research and development
         reports and records, creative materials, advertising materials,

         All of the property and assets to be transferred to IIS hereunder are
herein referred to collectively as the "Purchased Assets." Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the transfer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall
not include the assumption of any Liability related to the Purchased Assets
unless IIS expressly assumes that Liability in this Agreement as set forth in
Sections 2.5 and 2.6.

2.4      EXCLUDED ASSETS

(a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.3 or
         elsewhere in this Agreement, all of the assets of Seller not referenced
         or listed in Section 2.3 (collectively, the "Excluded Assets") are not
         part of the sale and purchase contemplated hereunder, are excluded from
         the Purchased Assets, and shall remain the property of Seller after the

                                       5


         Closing. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Excluded Assets
         include leased personal property.

(b)      Beginning the day of the Closing Date, IIS will receive collection of
         Sellers' accounts receivable and GNI accounts receivable sold to
         Anchor (including accounts receivable outstanding as of the Closing
         Date and accounts receivable related to services provided prior to the
         Closing Date and for which Seller invoices within thirty days (3O)
         after the Closing Date ("Anchor Receivables"). "Eligible Anchor
         Receivables" are identifiable Anchor Receivables that are less than
         120 days past the invoice date or less than 120 days past the date
         payment is due under Goliaths contract or Reseller Contracts. Anchor
         will provide to IIS a list of Eligible Anchor Receivables within three
         (3) business days of the signing of this Agreement. IIS is purchasing
         fifty percent (50%) of each of the Eligible Anchor Receivables, as
         agreed by Anchor and IIS in writing on the Closing Date, and IIS has
         the option (the "A/R Option") for thirty (30) days after the Closing
         Date to purchase fifty percent (50%) of the receivables that had not
         yet been identified as of the closing date as Eligible Anchor
         Receivables. To exercise the A/R Option, IIS shall provide Anchor with
         written notice identifying said receivable and shall execute an
         addendum to the Subordinated Note to increase the principal balance of
         the Subordinated Note by fifty percent (50%) of the face amount of the
         receivable acquired on exercise of the A/R Option. IIS shall remit
         fifty percent (50%) of all amounts that it receives related to the
         Eligible Anchor Receiveables purchased at Closing, or acquired on
         exercise of the A/R Option, and one hundred percent (100%) percent of
         the amounts it collects on Eligible Anchor Receivables that were not
         included in its purchase at Closing or acquired on exercise of the A/R
         Option on the later of twenty (20) days after the Closing Date or the
         15th day of the month following the month in which the Closing takes
         place (for purposes of calculating payment periods, for Eligible
         Anchor Receivables acquired on exercise of the A/R Option after
         Closing, the date of sale shall be deemed to be the Closing Date), and
         on or before the 15th day of each month thereafter in which IIS
         receives payment. Seller hereby authorizes IIS to endorse in IIS's
         name, all notes, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of
         payment in respect to Anchor Receiveables which come into it or
         Seller's possession. In the event a dispute arises regarding amounts
         claimed to be owed or collection issues arise, Shareholder shall use
         commercially reasonable efforts to aid IIS and Anchor in resolving
         said dispute in order to collect the amounts owed on said receivables.
         Anchor and IIS agree that neither will take any collection efforts on
         the purchased Eligible Anchor Receiveables without the prior written
         consent of the other. IIS may take any collection efforts it deems
         appropriate as to the Delinquent Receiveables. Anchor may take any
         collection efforts it deems appropriate as to the nonpurchased
         Eligible Anchor Receivables but shall advise IIS of its intended
         course of action prior to commencing said action.

2.5      CONSIDERATION

         Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
consideration to be paid by IIS for the Purchased Assets (the "Purchase Price")
will consist of three components, (i) the cash component, (ii) the Hired
Employee Vacation Grants, and (iii) the execution by IIS of a subordinated note
(the "Subordinated Note") in favor of Anchor in an amount not to exceed the sum
of $4,250,000 plus 50% of the purchased Eligible Anchor Receivables, calculated
on the


                                       6


Closing Date (the "Principal Note Amount"). The principal amount of the
Subordinated Note may include, but shall not be increased beyond the foregoing
sum by, any amounts paid pursuant to Section 12.1(ii). The Subordinated Note
will be in the form of Schedule 2.5. Each of the Purchase Price components will
be paid at the Closing as follows:

(a)      IIS will deliver to Anchor for the benefit of Seller $400,000, less the
         cash advance of $100,000 as set forth in Section 12.1(i), in cash by
         wire transfer or other immediately available funds.

(b)      IIS will make the Hired Employee Vacation Grants, as set forth in
         Section 2.1(d).

(c)      At Closing, IIS will execute the Subordinated Note in favor of Anchor
         for the balance of Anchor's loans to Seller as of the Closing Date, in
         the Principal Note Amount..

2.6      LIABILITIES

         IIS will not assume and does not agree to discharge any Liabilities of
Seller except for the continuing obligations after the Closing under (i) the
Contracts, (ii) the Reseller Contracts, (iii) the Office Leases, (iv) the
Subordinated Note and (v) the Hired Employee Vacation Grants, and then only to
the extent such Contracts, Reseller Contracts, Office Leases, Subordinated Note
or Hired Employee Vacation Grants require or contemplate performance on or after
the Closing Date.

         All other Liabilities will remain the sole responsibility of and shall
be retained, paid, performed and discharged by Seller in accordance with the
Chapter 128 Creditors' Action, including, but not limited to:

         that arises after the Closing Date to the extent it arises out of or

(c)      any Liability for Taxes, including (A) any Taxes arising as a result of
         Seller's operation of its business or ownership of the Purchased Assets

         amounts and any fines, fees, penalties or costs relating to Seller's
         Employee Plans, (B) any Taxes that will arise as a result of the sale
         of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement, and (C) any

         of any credit arrangement or debt with Shareholder, real or personal
         property lease, loan, or similar arrangement (including trade payables)
         or any loan or security agreement relating thereto;

                                       7

(f)      any environmental, health and safety liabilities arising out of or
         relating to the operation of Seller's business;

         Employees) or both;

(h)      any Liability under any employment, severance, retention or termination
         agreement, or any penalties or damages or late-, under- or non-payment

(q)      any cost, expense, fees or other amounts payable in connection with

                                       8


2.7      ALLOCATION

         The Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1060
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). After the
Closing, the parties shall make consistent use of such allocation, fair market
value and useful lives required by the Code for all Tax purposes and in all
filings, declarations and reports with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
in respect thereof. IIS shall undertake in good faith to prepare and deliver IRS
Form 8594 to Seller within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date to be filed
with the IRS.

2.8      CLOSING

         The transactions provided for in this Agreement will take place at the
offices of Axley Brynelson, LLP, Manchester Place, Suite 200, 2 East Mifflin
Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53701-1767 (the "Closing"), commencing at 10:00 a.m.
(local time) on January 25, 2002 (the "Closing Date"), unless IIS and Seller
otherwise agree. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, failure to consummate
the transactions provided for in this Agreement on the date and time and at the
place determined pursuant to this Section 2.8 will not result in the termination
of this Agreement and will not relieve any party of any obligation under this
Agreement. In such a situation, the Closing will occur as soon as practicable,
subject to Section 9.

2.9      CLOSING OBLIGATIONS

         In addition to any other documents to be delivered under other
provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, except with regard to the items
set forth in Sections 2.9(a)(iv), (v), (viii), (x) and (xi), which conditions
shall be satisfied by 5:00 p.m. Wisconsin time on the day before the hearing on
the approval of the Sale Order:

(a)  Seller, Shareholder and Anchor, as the case may be, shall deliver to IIS:

     (i)  a bill of sale for the Purchased Assets that are tangible personal
          property in the form of Schedule 2.9(a)(i) (the "Bill of Sale"),
          executed by Seller;

          personal property in the form of Schedule 2.9(a)(ii) (the "Assignment

    (iii) assignments of all telephone numbers, assignments of all copyrights
          and a separate assignment of all marks, trade secrets and net names

          Names"), executed by Seller;

     (iv) valid and binding assignment of Transferred Customer contracts to IIS
          and consent to such transfer from the top twenty (20) Transferred
          Customers, ranked by invoiced amounts during 2001 (the "Top Twenty
          Customers");

     (v)  valid and binding assignment of those Reseller Contracts to IIS and
          consent to such transfer from the counterparties to those Reseller;

                                       9


     (vi) a true and correct copy of the Sale Order issued by the Court,
          satisfactory to IIS in form and substance, authorizing the sale of the
          Purchased Assets to IIS in accordance with the terms hereof, together
          with any other necessary or desirable approvals or authorizations of
          the Court or any creditors or other parties pursuant to the Chapter

    (vii) a list of Eligible Anchor Receivables and such other deeds, bills of
          sale, assignments, certificates of title, documents and other
          instruments of transfer and conveyance as may reasonably be requested
          by IIS, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to IIS and
          its legal counsel and executed by Seller;

    viii) written confirmation from the Seller that the Seller has not
          received termination or cancellation of any of the Employment
          Agreements;

     (ix) a certificate executed by Bakken and Shareholder as to the accuracy of
          his representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement
          and as of the Closing in accordance with Section 7.1 and as to his
          compliance with and performance of his covenants and obligations to be
          performed or complied with at or before the Closing in accordance with
          Section 7.1;

     (x)  all consents, waivers, authorizations necessary to transfer, sell and

          with and performance of its covenants and obligations to be performed
          or complied with at or before the Closing in accordance with Section
          8.1.

2.10     APPROVAL OF CHAPTER 128 CREDITORS' ACTION

(a)      Seller and Anchor hereby confirm that it is critical to the process of
         arranging an orderly sale of Seller's assets to proceed by selecting
         IIS to enter into this Agreement in order to present the Court with
         arrangements for obtaining the highest realizable prices for the
         Purchased Assets and, that without IIS having committed substantial
         time and effort to such process, the Seller would have to employ a
         less orderly process of sale and thereby


                                       10


         both incur higher costs and risk attracting lower prices. Accordingly,
         the contributions of IIS to the process have indisputably provided
         very substantial benefit to Seller and Anchor. Seller and Anchor
         acknowledge that IIS would not have invested the effort in negotiating
         and documenting the transactions provided for in this Agreement and
         incurring duties to pay its outside advisors if IIS was not entitled
         to the protections provided for in this Section 2.10, including the
         Termination Fee.

(b)      The Agreement is subject to IIS receiving the Sale Order from the
         Court, satisfactory to IIS in form and substance, approving the terms
         hereof and authorizing the sale by Seller of the Purchased Assets to
         IIS and consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby.
         GNI, Shareholder, Anchor, and consistent with its duties to GNI and
         the creditors of GNI, Receiver, agree to undertake in good faith to
         cooperate and provide all necessary assistance, including providing
         reports, affidavits and attending hearings as required in order to
         obtain the Sale Order.

(c)      Except as required by the Court with respect to any competing bid for
         the Purchased Assets in the Chapter 128 Creditors' Action that is
         approved by the Court, until such time as this Agreement shall be
         terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, neither Anchor nor Shareholder
         shall directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, encourage or entertain
         any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, provide
         any nonpublic information to or consider the merits of any inquiries
         or proposals from any Person (other than IIS) relating to any business
         combination transaction involving Seller, including the merger or
         consolidation of Seller or the sale of its business, securities or any
         significant portion of Seller's assets or the Purchased Assets. Seller
         shall notify IIS of any such inquiry or proposal within twenty-four
         (24) hours of receipt or awareness of the same by Seller.

(d)      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 2.10, Seller shall
         not accept any competing bid for a substantial portion of the
         Purchased Assets unless such competing bid: (i) provides for value to
         Seller of at least $150,000 over the sum of the Purchase Price; (ii)
         is on terms that, in the Seller's business judgment are not materially
         more burdensome of conditional than the terms of this Agreement; (iii)
         is not subject to financing contingencies, unperformed due diligence
         or other conditions that are more burdensome to Seller than those set
         forth in this Agreement; and (iv) does not request or entitle the
         bidder to any break-up fee, termination fee, expense reimbursement or
         similar type of payment.

(e)      If the Receiver ultimately accepts, and the Court approves, a
         competing bid, IIS shall be entitled to an amount equal to $50,000
         (the "Termination Fee") in addition to any other amount to which it is
         entitled to hereunder. Anchor agrees to pay to IIS the Termination Fee
         within thirty (30) days of the Court's approval of a competing bid;
         provided, however, that Anchor shall not be required to pay IIS the
         Termination Fee if the competing bid is not caused by Anchor or if
         Anchor is not involved in the competing bid.

2.11     CONSENT OF THIRD PARTIES

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this
Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any
instrument, contract, lease, permit, or other


                                       11


agreement or arrangement or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or
resulting therefrom if an assignment or transfer or an attempt to make such an
assignment or transfer without the consent of a third party would constitute a
breach or violation thereof or affect adversely the rights of IIS or Seller
thereunder; and any such transfer or assignment to IIS by Seller that requires
the consent of a third party shall be made subject to such consent or approval
being obtained. In the event any such consent or approval is not obtained on or
prior to the Closing Date, unless the parties hereto shall otherwise agree,
Seller and the Shareholders shall continue to use all reasonable efforts to
obtain any such approval or consent after the Closing Date until such time as
such consent or approval has been obtained, and Seller and Shareholder will
cooperate with IIS in any lawful and economically feasible arrangement to
provide that IIS shall receive the interests of Seller in the benefits under any
such instrument, contract, lease, or permit or other agreement or arrangement,
including performance by Seller, as agent, if economically feasible. Nothing in
this Section 2.11 shall be deemed a waiver by IIS of any rights to have received
on or before the Closing an effective assignment of all of the Purchased Assets,
nor shall this Section 2.11 be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from
the Purchased Assets any assets described under Section 2.3.

                  3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BAKKEN,
                        SHAREHOLDER, RECEIVER AND ANCHOR

         Except for those representations and warranties made to IIS by Anchor
in Section 3.21 and those representations and warranties made to IIS by Receiver
in Section 3.22, Bakken, in his capacity as a director of GNI, Bakken, in his
capacity as an officer of GNI, and Shareholder represent and warrant, jointly
and severally, to IIS as follows:

3.1      ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING

         GNI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of Wisconsin, with full corporate power and authority to
conduct its business as it is now being conducted, to own or use the properties
and assets that it purports to own or use, and to perform all its obligations
under its contracts. GNI is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each state or other
jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or
used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such
qualification.

3.2      ENFORCEABILITY; AUTHORITY; NO CONFLICT

(a)      This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
         GNI and Shareholder, enforceable against them in accordance with its
         terms. Upon the execution and delivery by GNI and the Shareholder of
         the other agreements to be executed or delivered by any of Seller and
         Shareholder at the Closing (collectively, "GNI's Closing Documents"),
         each of GNI's Closing Documents will constitute the legal, valid and
         binding obligation of each of GNI and Shareholder, enforceable against
         each of them in accordance with its terms. GNI has the absolute and
         unrestricted right, power and authority to execute and deliver this
         Agreement and GNI's Closing Documents to which it is a party and to
         perform its obligations under this Agreement and GNI's Closing
         Documents, and such action has been duly authorized by all necessary
         action by the


                                       12


          board of directors and shareholders of GNI. Shareholder has all
          necessary legal capacity to enter into this Agreement and GNI's
          Closing Documents to which Shareholder is a party and to perform his
          obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(b)       Subject to the Chapter 128 Creditors' Action, neither the execution
          and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation or performance of
          any of the transactions contemplated hereby will, directly or
          indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time): (i) breach (A)
          any provision of any of the certificates of incorporation or bylaws of
          GNI, (B) any resolution adopted by the board of directors or
          shareholders of GNI; (ii) breach or give any governmental body or
          other Person the right to challenge any of the contemplated
          transactions or to exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under any
          Legal Requirement or any Order to which GNI, or any of the Purchased
          Assets, may be subject; (iii) contravene, conflict with or result in a
          violation or breach of any of the terms or requirements of, or give
          any governmental body the right to revoke, withdraw, suspend, cancel,
          terminate or modify, any governmental authorization that is held by
          GNI or that otherwise relates to the Purchased Assets or to the
          business of GNI; (iv) breach any provision of, or give any Person the
          right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, or to
          accelerate the maturity or performance of, or payment under, or to
          cancel, terminate or modify, any contract or agreement; or (v) result
          in the imposition or creation of any Encumbrance upon or with respect
          to any of the Purchased Assets.

(c)       GNI has given all notices and obtained all required consents from its
          shareholders in connection with the execution and delivery of this
          Agreement and the consummation or performance of all of the
          contemplated transactions.

3.3       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

          The financial statements of GNI attached in Schedule 3.3 are complete
and correct and fairly present, except as set forth on Schedule 3.3, the
financial position of GNI, in each case as of the dates thereof and the results
of operations and changes in financial position for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of the interim financial statements, to the absence of
footnote disclosure and to normal year-end adjustments). For purposes of this
Agreement, "Last Balance Sheet" means the balance sheet of GNI as of November
30, 2001. Since the date of the Last Balance Sheet, there has not been any
change, or any application or request for any change, by GNI in accounting
principles, methods or policies for financial accounting or tax purposes, other
than as required by any applicable tax rule or regulation. Within thirty (30)
days of the Closing Date, Seller will provide an amended Last Balance Sheet
showing the GNI balance sheet as of the Closing Date.

3.4       BOOKS AND RECORDS

          The books of account and other financial records of GNI, all of which
have been made available to IIS, are complete and correct and represent actual,
bona fide transactions and have been maintained in accordance with sound
business practices.

                                       13


3.5      TITLE TO ASSETS; ENCUMBRANCES

         Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5, GNI owns good, marketable and
transferable title to all the Purchased Assets. Seller shall, at or before the
time of Closing, transfer and deliver all Purchased Assets to IIS free and clear
of all Encumbrances in accordance with the Sale Order.

3.6      CONDITION OF ASSETS

         Each item of tangible personal property is in good repair and good
operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, is suitable for immediate
use in the ordinary course of business and is free from latent and patent
defects. No item of tangible personal property is in need of repair or
replacement other than as part of routine maintenance in the ordinary course of
business.

3.7      NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES

         Except as set forth in Schedule 3.7, GNI has no Liability except for
Liabilities reflected or reserved against in the Last Balance Sheet and current
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business of GNI since the date of
the Last Balance Sheet.

3.8      TAXES

(a)      Except as set forth in Schedule 3.8(a), GNI has filed or caused to be
         filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns and all reports with respect
         to Taxes that are or were required to be filed pursuant to applicable
         Legal Requirements. All Tax Returns and reports filed by GNI are true,
         correct and complete. GNI has paid, or made provision for the payment
         of, all Taxes that have or may have become due for all periods covered
         by the Tax Returns or otherwise, or pursuant to any assessment
         received by GNI, except such Taxes, if any, as are listed in Schedule
         3.8(a) and are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate
         reserves (determined in accordance with GAAP) have been provided in
         the financial statements. GNI currently is not the beneficiary of any
         extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has
         ever been made or is expected to be made by any governmental body in a
         jurisdiction where GNI does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be
         subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no Encumbrances on
         any of the Purchased Assets that arose in connection with any failure
         (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax, and GNI and Shareholder have no
         Knowledge of any basis for assertion of any claims attributable to
         Taxes which, if adversely determined, would result in any such
         Encumbrance.

(b)      Except as set forth in Schedule 3.8(b), all Taxes that GNI is or was
         required by Legal Requirements to withhold, deduct or collect have
         been duly withheld, deducted and collected and, to the extent
         required, have been paid to the proper governmental body or other
         Person.

(c)      GNI (i) has not been a member of an affiliated group within the
         meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code, or any similar group defined
         under a similar provision of state, local or foreign law and (ii) has
         no liability for Taxes of any person (other than GNI and its


                                       14


         subsidiaries) under Treas. Reg. sect. 1.1502-6 (or any similar
         provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or
         successor by contract or otherwise.

(d)      GNI has disclosed on its federal income Tax Returns all positions
         taken therein that could give rise to a substantial understatement of
         federal income Tax within the meaning of Code Section 6662.

3.9      EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

(a)      GNI has delivered or will prior to the Closing deliver to IIS true and
         complete copies of each deferred compensation, incentive compensation,
         stock purchase, stock option and other equity compensation plan
         covering any employee or former employee of GNI, "welfare" plan, fund
         or program (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the Employee
         Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")) covering
         any employee or former employee of GNI; each "pension" plan, fund or
         program of GNI (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) covering
         any employee or former employee of GNI; each employment, consulting,
         termination or severance agreement to which GNI is a party or by which
         it is bound; and each other employee benefit plan, fund, program,
         agreement or arrangement, in each case, that is sponsored, maintained
         or contributed to or required to be contributed to by GNI, or to which
         GNI is a party, whether written or oral, for the benefit of any
         employee, former employee, director, independent contractor,
         consultants, leased employees or contingent worker of GNI (each an
         "Employee Plan" and collectively the "Employee Plans").

(b)      With respect to each Employee Plan, GNI has heretofore delivered or
         will prior to the Closing deliver or made or will make available to
         IIS, along with true and complete copies of the Employee Plan and any
         amendments thereto (or if the Employee Plan is not a written Employee
         Plan, a description thereof), any related trust or other funding
         vehicle, any reports or summaries required under ERISA or the Code and
         the most recent determination letter received from the Internal Revenue
         Service with respect to each Employee Plan intended to qualify under
         Section 401 of the Code.

(c)      No Liability under Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA has been incurred
         by GNI or any entity, that together with GNI would be deemed a "single
         employer" within the meaning of Section 4001(b) of ERISA (an "ERISA
         Affiliate") that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition
         exists that presents a risk to GNI or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring
         any such Liability.

(d)      No Employee Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the
         Code; nor is any Employee Plan a "multiemployer pension plan," as
         defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, or subject to Section 302 of ERISA;
         nor has GNI nor any ERISA Affiliate maintained or contributed to any
         multiemployer pension plan in the last six (6) years.

(e)      GNI will be responsible for and pay any and all workers' compensation
         and other similar claims asserted by or with respect to any employee or
         former employee of GNI (including any Hired Employee) in respect of any
         injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease
         which occurred or is attributable to any event, state of



                                       15


         facts or condition which existed or occurred prior to the Closing Date
         (or prior to the actual start date with IIS with respect to any Hired
         Employee).

(f)      GNI shall provide IIS all information relating to each employee or
         former employee of GNI (including any Hired Employee), as IIS may
         reasonably require in connection with its employment of such persons,
         including, without limitation, initial employment dates, termination
         dates, reemployment dates, hours of service, compensation and tax
         withholding history in a form that will be usable by IIS and such
         information shall be true and correct in all respects.

         3.10 and the action against Eversoll and Berbee Information Networks
         Corporation, there is no pending or, to GNI's and Shareholder's
         Knowledge, threatened Proceeding:

              from engaging in or continuing any conduct, activity or practice
              relating to the business of GNI.

3.11     BUSINESS CONDUCTED IN ORDINARY COURSE

3.12     CONTRACTS; NO DEFAULTS

(a)      GNI has delivered to IIS accurate and complete copies, of each and any
         contract or agreement containing covenants that in any way purport to
         restrict GNI's business activity or limit the freedom of GNI to engage
         in any line of business or to compete with any Person, in each case to
         the extent such other contract would restrict IIS's ability to conduct
         business with the Transferred Customers or other customers of GNI or
         restrict or limit the ability of the Hired Employees to perform
         services for IIS after their date of hire.

(b)      Each Contract and Reseller Contract is in full force and effect and is
         valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms; and, except as
         indentified in writing to IIS within five (5) days after the Effective
         Date, is assignable by GNI to IIS without the consent of any other
         Person.

(c)      GNI and each other party thereto is, and at all times since December
         31, 2000, has been, in material compliance with all applicable terms
         and requirements of each Contract and Reseller Contract. No event has
         occurred or circumstance exists that (with or without notice or lapse
         of time) may contravene, conflict with or result in a breach of, or
         give GNI or other Person the right to declare a default or exercise
         any remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or
         payment under, or to cancel, terminate or modify, any such Contract or
         Reseller Contract. GNI has not given to or received from any other
         Person, at any time since December 31, 2000, any notice or other
         communication (whether oral or written) regarding any actual, alleged,

(a)      The term "Intellectual Property Assets" means all intellectual property
         owned or licensed (as licensor or licensee) by Seller in which Seller
         has a proprietary interest, and which constitutes part of the Purchased
         Assets, including:

         (i)   GNI's name, all assumed fictional business names, trade names,

               applications (collectively, "Marks");

         (ii)  all registered and unregistered copyrights in both published
               works and unpublished works (collectively, "Copyrights");

         (iii) all rights in mask works;

         (iv)  all know-how, trade secrets, confidential or proprietary
               information, customer lists, software, technical information,
               data, process technology, plans, drawings and blue prints
               (collectively, "Trade Secrets"); and

         (v)   all rights in internet web sites and internet domain names
               presently used by GNI (collectively "Net Names").

(b)      GNI has delivered to IIS accurate and complete copies of all GNI
         contracts relating to the Intellectual Property Assets. There is no
         outstanding and, to GNI's and Shareholder's Knowledge, no threatened
         (overtly or in writing) disputes or disagreements with respect to any
         such contract. Except as listed on Schedule 3.15(b), GNI has no
         patents, patent applications, or, to its Knowledge, inventions or
         discoveries that may be patentable.

(c)      GNI is the owner or licensee of all right, title and interest in and to
         each of the Intellectual Property Assets, free and clear of all
         Encumbrances, and has the right to use without payment to a third party
         all of the Intellectual Property Assets. All former and current
         employees of GNI have executed written contracts with GNI that assign
         to GNI all rights to any inventions, improvements, discoveries or
         information relating to the business of GNI.

(d)      All of the Intellectual Property Assets are currently in compliance
         with formal Legal Requirements, are valid and enforceable, and are not
         subject to any maintenance fees or taxes or actions falling due within
         ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. No


                                       18


         Intellectual Property Asset is infringed or, to GNI's and
         Shareholder's Knowledge, has been challenged or threatened in any way
         and none of the services of GNI or products manufactured or sold, nor
         any process or know-how used, by GNI, and none of the Intellectual
         Property Assets, infringes or is alleged to infringe any intellectual
         property asset or other proprietary right of any other Person and is
         not a derivative work based on the work of any other Person.

(e)      All Marks have been registered with the United States Patent and
         Trademark Office. No Mark has been or is now involved in any
         opposition, invalidation or cancellation Proceeding and, to GNI's and
         Shareholder's Knowledge, no such action is threatened with respect to
         any of the Marks. To GNI's and Shareholder's Knowledge, there is no
         potentially interfering trademark or trademark application of any other
         Person. All products and materials containing a Mark bear the proper
         federal registration notice where permitted by law.

(f)      With respect to each Trade Secret, the documentation relating to such
         Trade Secret is current, accurate and sufficient in detail and content
         to identify and explain it and to allow its full and proper use
         without reliance on the knowledge or memory of any individual. GNI has
         taken all reasonable precautions to protect the secrecy,
         confidentiality and value of all Trade Secrets (including the
         enforcement by GNI of a policy requiring each employee or contractor
         to execute proprietary information and confidentiality agreements
         substantially in GNI's standard form, and all current and former
         employees and contractors of GNI have executed such an agreement). GNI
         has good title to and an absolute right to use the Trade Secrets. The
         Trade Secrets are not part of the public knowledge or literature and
         have not been used, divulged or appropriated either for the benefit of
         any Person (other than GNI) or to the detriment of GNI.

(g)      All Net Names have been registered in the name of GNI. To GNI's and
         Shareholder's Knowledge there is no domain name application pending of
         any other person which would or would potentially interfere with or
         infringe any Net Name.

3.16     BROKERS OR FINDERS

         Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16, neither GNI nor any of its
representatives have incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or
otherwise, for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or other
similar payments in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement for which IIS will or could be liable or responsible.

3.17     CHAPTER 128 CREDITORS' ACTION

         GNI and Shareholder will comply with all the terms and conditions of
the Chapter 128 Creditors' Action, the Sale Order and all other requirements and

         Except as contemplated by the Chapter 128 Creditors' Action and subject
to Section 3.19, Shareholder has not and will not enter into any agreements or

         To Seller, Bakken, Shareholder and Anchor, IIS is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it
is now conducted.

4.2      AUTHORITY; NO CONFLICT

         To Seller, Bakken, Shareholder and Anchor, this Agreement constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of IIS, enforceable against IIS in
accordance with its terms. Upon the execution and delivery by IIS of the
agreements to be executed or delivered by IIS at Closing (collectively, "IIS's
Closing Documents"), each of IIS's Closing Documents will constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligation of IIS, enforceable against IIS in accordance with
its respective terms. IIS has the absolute and unrestricted right, power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and IIS's Closing Documents and
to perform its obligations under this Agreement and IIS's Closing Documents, and
such action has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

4.3      BROKERS OR FINDERS

         To Seller, Bakken, Shareholder and Anchor, neither IIS nor any of its
representatives have incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or
otherwise, for brokerage or finders' fees


                                       21


          or agents' commissions or other similar payment in connection with the
          transactions contemplated hereby.

4.4      DISCLOSURE

         To Seller, Bakken, Shareholder and Anchor, no representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement, or any certificate or schedule furnished
by IIS in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Agreement,
contains any material misstatement of fact as of the date when made or omitted
to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained
herein or therein not materially misleading as of the date when made.

4.5      PLEDGED ASSETS

         To Anchor, IIS represents and warrants that, at present, no creditors
hold a security interest in the collateral pledged to Anchor as security for the
Subordinated Note. Anchor acknowledges that such collateral was, however,
previously pledged as collateral for obligations to other creditors and that
same collateral remains covered by active financing statements. IIS believes
that it is entitled to have such financing statements terminated and agrees to
use commercially reasonable efforts to effect termination of such financing
statements.

4.6      FINANCIAL REPORTS

         To Anchor, IIS represents and warrants that, while there remain amounts
outstanding under the Subordinated Note, it will provide Anchor with: (i)
unaudited quarterly financial statements (for the first three quarters of the
fiscal year) within 45 days following the end of the quarter; (ii) audited
annual financial statements within 90 days following the end of the year; and
(iii) from time to time, as reasonably requested by Anchor (but not more
frequently than monthly), a statement of compliance with the collateral coverage
requirements of the Subordinated Note.
