MERGER AGREEMENT
     THIS MERGER AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of August 5, 2005 by and among Intelius Inc., a Delaware corporation ("INTELIUS"), QWIL Acquisition Inc., an Oregon corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of INTELIUS ("QAI"), QWIL Company, Inc., an Oregon corporation ("QWIL") and those shareholders of QWIL identified on Exhibit C hereto (the "QWIL Shareholders").
     WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of INTELIUS, QAI and QWIL desire to effect, and have approved on the terms, and subject to the conditions, of this Agreement, a business combination of INTELIUS and QWIL in which QAI will merge with and into QWIL (such merger being referred to herein as the "Merger"), pursuant to which among other things, the holders of the then outstanding shares of the common stock, no par value per share, of QWIL (the "Shares") will be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in cash (the "Cash Consideration") and Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of INTELIUS Class A Common Stock (the "Equity Consideration"), par value $0.0001 per share (collectively, the Cash Consideration and Equity Consideration are referred to herein as the "Aggregate Consideration").
     In consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained herein, and in order to set forth the conditions upon which this Agreement and the Plan of Merger (attached hereto as Exhibit A) shall be carried out, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows.
ARTICLE I. THE MERGER
     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan of Merger, INTELIUS, QAI and QWIL agree as follows:
     1.1 Effective Time. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Articles VIII, IX and X, the Merger will become effective upon the filing of Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Oregon or upon such later date as may be specified in such Articles of Merger (the "Effective Time").
     1.2 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of QWIL Common Stock shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive Five Hundred (500) shares of INTELIUS Class A Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer book of QWIL shall be closed, and no transfer of shares of QWIL Common Stock shall thereafter be made.
     1.3 Surrender of Certificates. After the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates previously representing shares of QWIL Common Stock ("QWIL Certificate(s)"), upon surrender of the holder's QWIL Certificate(s) to the exchange agent appointed by INTELIUS, Carney Badley Spellman, P.S, (the "Exchange

 


 
Agent"), together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, shall receive a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of Equity Consideration to which the holder shall have been entitled pursuant to the Plan of Merger, and a cash payment equal to Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) for each share of QWIL Common Stock so surrendered. After the Effective Time, each QWIL Certificate shall represent ownership of the number of shares of INTELIUS Class A Common Stock that the holder of the QWIL Certificate shall be entitled to receive. Whenever a dividend is declared by INTELIUS on INTELIUS Class A Common Stock after the Effective Time, the declaration shall include dividends on all shares issued and outstanding, including those with respect to which no certificates have been delivered hereunder; however, no distribution of such dividend shall be required to be made to any holder of QWIL Certificate(s) until the QWIL Certificate(s) representing such shares, and a properly completed letter of transmittal, shall have been delivered to INTELIUS by the person, firm, trust, estate, corporation, or business organization ("Person") entitled to such dividend. Upon delivery of such QWIL Certificate(s) and letter of transmittal, or as soon as practicable thereafter, such Person shall receive from INTELIUS an amount equal to all dividends (without interest thereon and less the amount of taxes, if any, required to be withheld or paid thereon by INTELIUS) on the shares of INTELIUS Class A Common Stock formerly represented by the surrendered QWIL Certificate(s), that shall have been declared or paid between the Effective Time and the date of delivery of such QWIL Certificate(s) .
     1.4 Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, there shall be a change in the number of shares of issued and outstanding QWIL Common Stock or INTELIUS Class A Common Stock by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, or exchange of shares, or if a stock or rights dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Conversion Ratio set forth in paragraph 1.2, i.e., 500:1; provided, however, that there shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Ratio by reason of INTELIUS issuing or agreeing to issue any INTELIUS Class A Common Stock for cash, for property, in exchange for shares of stock of any other corporation, or on account of mergers or consolidations before, after, or simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger.
     1.5 Transfer of Assets and Liabilities. The assets, equipment, domain names, cash accounts and accounts receivables owned by QWIL are set forth in Schedules AรณC hereto, and the intellectual property owned by QWIL is set forth in Schedule 4.9. The liabilities of QWIL are set forth in Schedule D hereto. At the Effective Time, the title to all assets, real estate, equipment, personal property, intellectual property, all other property and all other unscheduled assets shall be vested in QWIL, without any further act or deed, and QWIL shall be responsible and liable for all the liabilities of both QWIL and QAI.
     Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 1.5 and the Indemnification provisions in paragraph 12.4, if additional QWIL liabilities are discovered at any time that were not disclosed in Schedule D or in the QWIL Unaudited Statements as defined in paragraph 4.3 ("Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities"), QWIL will be responsible for the first aggregate $25,000 of all such aggregate Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities, and the QWIL Shareholders

2


 
will be responsible for the remainder of all such Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities up to the total amount of the Cash Consideration received by them as part of this Merger Agreement. QWIL or INTELIUS will be responsible for any Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities exceeding the amount of the Cash Consideration.
     The debt to Software Sciences Ltd. of $525,000, as set forth in Schedule D (the "Software Sciences Debt"), will be paid without interest within 15 days of the Effective Time, and the debt to Thomas Buck and Jennifer Lindsey of $155,000, as set forth in Schedule D (the "Lindsey Debt"), will be paid without interest within six (6) months following the Effective Time, provided no Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities are discovered before those dates. The Software Sciences Debt and the Lindsey Debt will be reduced by the aggregate amount beyond $25,000 of any such Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities, and the balance shall be paid on the designated dates to Software Sciences and Thomas Buck and Jennifer Lindsey, respectively. If any Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities are discovered after six months from the Effective Time, they will be subject to this paragraph 1.5 and the Indemnification provisions in paragraph 12.4. If the Software Sciences Debt turns out to be less than $525,000, QWIL will only be obligated to pay the actual amount, and in no circumstances will QWIL be required to pay more than $525,000 for the Software Sciences Debt. If the Lindsey Debt turns out to be less than $155,000, QWIL will only be obligated to pay the actual amount, and in no circumstances will QWIL be required to pay more than $155,000 for the Lindsey Debt.
     1.6 Payment of Cash Consideration. INTELIUS will pay the Cash Consideration to the QWIL Shareholders at the Effective Time. The QWIL Shareholders shall provide written instruction regarding such payment to INTELIUS at least three (3) business days prior to the Effective Time.
     1.7 Non-Compete, Non-Disclosure and Employment Agreements. Thomas Lindsey, Shane Johnson and Matt Di Torrice, will sign employment agreements at the Effective Time, which will include INTELIUS' standard non-compete and non-disclosure agreements, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

ARTICLE IV. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
AND COVENANTS OF QWIL
     QWIL hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to and with INTELIUS and QAI as follows:
     4.1 Organization. QWIL is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Oregon. QWIL has no subsidiaries. QWIL has corporate power, and is duly authorized, to own, lease, and operate its properties, and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. QWIL is duly qualified and/or licensed to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary. QWIL has delivered to INTELIUS and QAI complete and correct copies of its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (certified by its Secretary) as in effect on the date hereof. There will be no changes in such Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws between the date hereof and the Effective Time without the written consent of INTELIUS and QAI.
     4.2 Capital Stock. The authorized capital stock of QWIL consists of One Thousand (1,000) shares of QWIL Common Stock, all of which are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, as set forth in Exhibit C. All such shares are, and all shares outstanding at the Effective Time will be, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and none of the outstanding shares of QWIL Common Stock has been or will be issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any shareholder.

6


 
     4.3 Financial Statements. QWIL has delivered to INTELIUS copies of the following unaudited financial statements:
  (a)   Consolidated balance sheets of QWIL as of December 31, 2004 and from January 1 through June 30, 2005;
 
  (b)   Consolidated income statements of QWIL for the three years ended December 31, 2004, and from January 1 through June 30, 2005; and
 
  (c)   Summary of income statements and balance sheets from 2000-2004.
     The financial statements (including the notes thereto) referred to in subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4.3 are hereinafter referred to as the "QWIL Unaudited Statements." QWIL shall deliver to INTELIUS promptly after the issuance thereof any financial statements that QWIL may subsequently issue prior to the Effective Time with respect to annual or quarterly periods ending subsequent to those covered by the QWIL Unaudited Statements. As hereinafter used, the term "QWIL Unaudited Statements," or the specific reference to any components thereof, shall include any such subsequently issued financial statements. The QWIL Unaudited Statements fairly present the financial position of QWIL as of the dates specified and the results and operations of QWIL in all material respects for the periods covered thereby, and QWIL does not have any liabilities of any nature (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) that are not reflected or fully reserved against on the Latest Balance Sheet included in the QWIL Unaudited Statements (the "Latest Balance Sheet") or included in the ordinary course of business by QWIL subsequent to the date of the Latest Balance Sheet. Since the Latest Balance Sheet, there has been no change in the assets or liabilities, or in the business or condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations of QWIL which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on QWIL. Any liabilities that are later discovered but that do not appear in the QWIL Unaudited Statements will be subject to the provisions in paragraphs 1.5 and 12.4
     4.4 Taxes. The amounts set forth as provisions for current and deferred taxes in the QWIL Unaudited Statements are sufficient for the payment of all unpaid federal, state, county, local, foreign, or other taxes (including any interest or penalties) of QWIL, accrued for or applicable to the periods ended on the respective dates of the QWIL Unaudited Statements and all years and periods prior thereto and for which QWIL may at said dates have been liable in their own right or as transferee of the assets of, or as successor to, any other corporation or entity. All federal, state, and local tax returns, reports, and declarations required to be filed by QWIL (i) have been duly prepared and filed in good faith for all past years, (ii) are true, correct and complete in all material respects, (iii) were prepared in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and (iv) all taxes that have become due and payable have been paid or are reflected as a liability on the Latest Balance Sheet included in the QWIL Unaudited Statements; provided, however, that QWIL has not filed any tax returns or paid any required taxes regarding personal property. Any extensions for the filing of federal and state tax returns are valid and meet all applicable return filing requirements, and the proper

7


 
federal and state tax returns for which an extension was not filed will at the Effective Time have been duly prepared and filed in good faith. No assessments, claims for collection, or deficiencies have been proposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or any state or local revenue authority that have not been adequately reserved for by QWIL. QWIL has complied in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the payment and withholding of all local, state and federal taxes. There is no pending, or to QWIL's actual knowledge, threatened audit, examination, investigation, dispute, deficiency assessment, claim or other administrative or judicial proceeding relating to any local, state or federal taxes that QWIL is or may be liable for. QWIL has withheld and paid all local, state and federal taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with any amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or third party.
     4.5 Accurate Disclosure. No representation, warranty, schedule, or certificate delivered hereunder by QWIL to INTELIUS contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein and herein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
     4.6 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, since July 31, 2005, QWIL has not:
     (a) issued, sold, or delivered (or agreed or become obligated in any manner to issue, sell, or deliver) any stock, bonds, or other corporate securities (whether authorized and unissued or held in the treasury), or granted or agreed to grant any options, warrants, or other rights calling for the issue thereof;
     (b) borrowed or agreed to borrow any funds or incurred, or become subject to any obligation or liability (absolute or contingent) except obligations and liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business;
     (c) incurred or paid any obligation or liability (absolute or contingent) other than current liabilities reflected in or shown on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 referred to in Section 4.3, and current liabilities incurred since that date in the ordinary course of business;
     (d) declared or made, or agreed to declare or make, any payment of dividends or distributions of cash, any assets of any kind whatsoever to shareholders, or purchased or redeemed, or agreed to purchase or redeem, any QWIL Common Stock;
     (e) except in the ordinary course of business, sold or transferred, or agreed to sell or transfer, any of its assets, property, or rights, or canceled, or agreed to cancel, any debts or claims;
     (f) entered into or agreed to enter into any agreement or arrangement granting any preferential rights to purchase any of its assets, property, or rights, or

8


 
requiring the consent of any party to the transfer and assignment of any such assets, property, or rights;
     (g) except in the ordinary course of business, waived any right of material value;
     (h) except in the ordinary course of business, assigned, made, or permitted any amendment or termination of any material contract, agreement, or license to which it is a party;
     (i) made any accrual or arrangement for, or payment of bonuses or special compensation of, any kind or any severance or termination pay to any present or former officer or employee;
     (j) increased the rate of compensation payable or to become payable by it to any of its officers or employees, other than normal salary increases made consistent with prior practice, or made any increase in benefits in any profit sharing, bonus, deferred compensation, insurance, pension, retirement, or other employee benefit plan, payment, or arrangement made to, for, or with any such officers or employees;
     (k) mortgaged, pledged, or subjected to lien, charge, or other encumbrance any assets or properties, whether tangible or intangible, other than in the ordinary course of business;
     (l) changed any accounting method or practice;

     12.4 Indemnification.
          (a) The QWIL Shareholders (jointly and severally, the "Indemnitors"), shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless INTELIUS and QWIL, and their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents (collectively "the Indemnitees"), including costs, expenses and attorneys' fees, against and in respect to: (i) any and all Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities that are discovered within 12 months of the Effective Time, provided, however that QWIL will be responsible for the first aggregate $25,000 of such aggregate Undisclosed QWIL Liabilities; and (ii) any damages resulting or arising from a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any Schedule or Exhibit delivered in connection with the Merger (collectively "Claims"). The Indemnitees shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitors of the commencement of any claim, action suit or proceeding, or any threat thereof, or any state of facts which Indemnitee determines will give rise to a claim by the Indemnitees against the Indemnitors based on the indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement (a "Notice of Claim"). The Indemnitors shall keep the other party fully informed of such claim, action, suit or

proceeding at all stages thereof, whether or not such party is represented by counsel. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitors and provide such assistance, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitors, as the Indemnitors may reasonably request in connection with the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, including, but not limited to, providing the Indemnitors with access to and use of all relevant corporate records and making available its officers and employees for depositions, pre-trial discovery and as witnesses at trial, if required. In requesting any such cooperation, the Indemnitors shall have due regard for, and attempt not to be disruptive of, the business and day-to-day operations of INTELIUS and shall follow the requests of INTELIUS regarding any documents or instruments which the INTELIUS believes should be given confidential treatment. The Indemnitors shall not make or enter into any settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding which it has undertaken to defend, without informing the Indemnitees in writing regarding the details of the settlement at least five (5) days before the settlement is consummated.
          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.4, the aggregate liability of all Indemnitors shall be limited to the Cash Consideration, after QWIL has paid $25,000 in aggregate liability for indemnified Claims under paragraph 12.4(a)(i) above.
