Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 20, 2007, Intelli-Check, Inc. (“Intelli-Check”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with Mobilisa, Inc. (“Mobilisa”). Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, Mobilisa will be acquired by Intelli-Check and the former stockholders of Mobilisa will receive a number of shares of Intelli-Check’s common stock such that the former stockholders of Mobilisa will own 50% of Intelli-Check on a post-merger basis. The former Mobilisa optionholders and warrantholders will also receive replacement options to purchase shares of Intelli-Check’s common stock with substantially equivalent value to Mobilisa’s outstanding options and warrants.

The Board of Directors of the combined company will be composed of eight members, four selected by Intelli-Check’s Board of Directors and four selected by Mobilisa’s Board of Directors. The Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the combined company would be selected by Intelli-Check’s Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the combined company would be selected by Mobilisa’s Board of Directors.

The consummation of the transaction is subject to (i) the approval of the stockholders of Intelli-Check approving this transaction and an amendment to Intelli-Check’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Intelli-Check’s common stock and (ii) the approval of stockholders of Mobilisa to approve the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Agreement.

The Definitive Agreement may be terminated by either party if (i) the merger is not consummated before March 31, 2008 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Definitive Agreement), (ii) there is a material adverse change to the non-terminating party’s business or (iii) the non-terminating party is unable to obtain the necessary stockholder approval. If a party chooses to terminate the Definitive Agreement due to a breach of the terms of the Definitive Agreement, the terminating party would be required to pay a break-up fee of $1,000,000 over 36 months to the non-terminating party.

Each Principal Shareholder acknowledges that Parent has the right to require evidence of such Principal Shareholder’s status as an accredited investor, if necessary.

56

 
12.2 Indemnification of Principal Shareholders. Parent and Acquisition Corp. hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Principal Shareholders and their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, attorneys, agents and permitted assignees (the “Company Indemnitees”) against and in respect of any Losses incurred or sustained by the Company Indemnitees as a result of (i) any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of Parent or Acquisition Corp. contained herein or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto, and (ii) actions or inactions of the Surviving Corporation with regard to the Business occurring after the Closing.
 
12.3 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by either a Parent Indemnitee or a Company Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for indemnification:
 
(a) An Indemnified Party shall give Parent and Acquisition Corp., or the Company and/or the Principal Shareholders, as applicable (either, the “Indemnifying Parties”), prompt notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third-party claim, investigation, action, suit, hearing or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2 (a “Third Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the loss, liability or damage that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such Indemnified Party under Section 12.1 or 12.2, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Parties to defend such claim or to the limited extent the failure to give such notice increases the amount of such liability.
 
(b) In the case of any Third Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Parties, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties, within a reasonable time after the giving of an Indemnification Notice by the Indemnified Party (but in any event within 10 days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a written confirmation to such Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 12.1 or 12.2 are applicable to such claim, investigation, action, suit, hearing or proceeding and the Indemnifying Parties will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1 or 12.2 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall do so without asserting any challenge, defense, limitation on the Indemnifying Parties, liability for Losses, counterclaim or offset, (ii) notify such Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Parties are assuming the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim.
 
(c) If the Indemnifying Parties assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement thereof. If the Indemnifying Parties so assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Parties have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties in the conduct of the defense thereof, and in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties.

57

 
(d) If the Indemnifying Parties elect to direct the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the Indemnifying Parties withdraw from or fail to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a judgment is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. If the Indemnifying Parties do not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnifying Parties fail to prosecute or withdraw such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third Party Claim (i) which seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim could impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater than the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
(e) If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2 and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense. The Indemnifying Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against such Indemnified Party or (ii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to such Indemnified Party a release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim and all other claims or causes of action (known or unknown) arising or which might arise out of the same facts.
 
12.4 Periodic Payments. Any indemnification required by Section 12.1 or 12.2 for costs, disbursements or expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, action, suit, hearing, proceeding or investigation shall be made by periodic payments by the Indemnifying Parties to each Indemnified Party during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or costs, disbursements or expenses are incurred.

58

 
12.5 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall only be reduced by any insurance proceeds or other third party reimbursement actually received by Parent and Acquisition Corp. or the Principal Shareholders, as appropriate.
 
12.6 Survival of Indemnification Rights. Section 3.26 and Section 3.27 shall survive until 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations in connection with the matters set forth therein. All other representations and warranties of the Principal Shareholders, the Company and Parent shall survive until the first anniversary of the Closing Date. The indemnification to which any Indemnified Party is entitled from the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2 for Losses shall be effective so long as it is asserted (a) prior to 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations in connection with any matters in connection with Section 3.26 and Section 3.27 and (b) the first anniversary of the Closing Date in the case of all other representations and warranties of the Principal Shareholders and Parent hereunder.
 
12.7 Threshold. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Principal Shareholders shall be entitled to indemnification if the aggregate Losses are less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).

(b) If after good faith negotiations the dispute is not resolved, the parties shall promptly submit any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any Additional Agreement (including with respect to the meaning, effect, validity, termination, interpretation, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement) or any alleged breach thereof (including any action in tort, contract, equity, or otherwise), to binding arbitration before one arbitrator that is familiar with the Business and not an Affiliate of any party to this Agreement (the “Arbitrator”). The parties agree that binding arbitration shall be the sole means of resolving any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Additional Agreement (including with respect to the meaning, effect, validity, termination, interpretation, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement) or any alleged breach thereof (including any claim in tort, contract, equity, or otherwise).

(g) The Arbitrator may, at his discretion and at the expense of the party who will bear the cost of the arbitration, employ experts to assist him in his determinations.
 
(h) The costs of the arbitration proceeding and any proceeding in court to confirm any arbitration award or to obtain relief as provided in Section 13.1, as applicable (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), shall be borne by the unsuccessful party and shall be awarded as part of the Arbitrator’s decision, unless the Arbitrator shall otherwise allocate such costs for the reasons set forth in such decision. The determination of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties and not subject to appeal.
 
(i) Any judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

The parties expressly consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the Arbitrator to arbitrate any and all matters to be submitted to arbitration hereunder.

(j) The parties shall indemnify the Arbitrator and any experts employed by the Arbitrator and hold them harmless from and against any claim or demand arising out of any arbitration under this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby, unless resulting from the willful misconduct of the person indemnified.

61

 
(c) by Parent and Acquisition Corp. if the Company and the Principal Shareholders shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, obligations, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 and (ii) cannot be cured by the Company and the Principal Shareholders by the Outside Closing Date or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 calendar days following receipt of written notice from the Parent and Acquisition Corp. stating such Terminating Party’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1(c) and the basis for such termination; provided that, Parent and Acquisition Corp. shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1(c) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder that would result in the closing conditions set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.3 not being satisfied; or
 
(d) by the Company and the Principal Shareholders if Parent and Acquisition Corp. shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, obligations, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.3 and (ii) cannot be cured by Parent and Acquisition Corp. by the Outside Closing Date or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 calendar days following receipt of written notice from the Company and the Principal Shareholders stating such Terminating Party’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1(d) and the basis for such termination; provided that, the Company and the Principal Shareholders shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1(d) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder that would result in the closing conditions set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 not being satisfied.

Nothing in this Section 14.3 shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or for any liability for any prior breach of any terms or provisions of this Agreement and nothing in this Section 14.2 shall be deemed to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its surviving obligations under this Agreement.
 
14.3 Termination Fee.
 
(a) In the event that:
 
(i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent and Acquisition Corp. pursuant to Section 14.1(c); or
