CNI did not pay the Stockholders any consideration in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreements. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ---------------------- Page 4 of 15 Pages On August 26, 2004, CNI entered into a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with the Company, pursuant to which CNI will purchase shares of a new class of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share of the Company (the "Preferred Stock"), which are convertible into Shares at the option of the holder. The Subscription Agreement is subject, among other things, to stockholder approval, and, accordingly, does not currently confer beneficial ownership of any Shares. In connection with the Subscription Agreement, CNI and the Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreements, pursuant to which each Stockholder agreed to vote Shares owned by such Stockholder (the "Covered Shares") in favor of any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the transactions contemplated in the Subscription Agreement (including the amendment of the Company's certificate of incorporation and the Company's 2003 Stock Option Plan and the issuance of the Preferred Stock), against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the consummation of such transactions and against any other action that is intended, or could be reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect such transactions. Each of the Stockholders granted CNI an irrevocable proxy to vote the Covered Shares as described in the preceding sentence. Each of the Stockholders also agreed to refrain from transferring any Covered Shares without the prior consent of CNI other than to specified related persons that agree to be bound by the respective Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreements will each terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the valid termination of the Subscription Agreement pursuant to its terms, (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Subscription Agreement, (iii) February 28, 2005, or (iv) the written agreement of the parties thereto to that effect. If the transactions contemplated in the Subscription Agreement are consummated as planned: (a) CNI will purchase from the Company 4,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which will have voting and other rights identical to those of the Shares, with the exception of having a liquidation preference over the Shares for a period of four years and will be convertible into Shares at the option of the holder thereof; (b) the Company will issue to CNI warrants to purchase an additional 8,283,000 shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to a Warrant Agreement to be entered into by the Company and CNI concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Subscription Agreement; (c) the Company's certificate of incorporation will be amended to increase the amount of authorized Common Stock and to provide for the designation of the Preferred Stock; (d) the By-laws of the Company will be amended and restated to change, among other things, the maximum number of members of the Board; Page 5 of 15 Pages (e) the Company will grant options to purchase an aggregate of 1,161,050 Shares under its 2003 Stock Option Plan to new executive officers and consultants; and (f) (i) the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") will be expanded from the present nine members to eleven members, (ii) certain members of the Board will resign and six new members designated by CNI will be appointed or elected to the Board (with one such member being an independent director, as this term is defined under the listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002), and (iii) one new member designated by COMCOR will be appointed or elected to the Board. In connection with the Subscription Agreement, CNI also entered into a Shareholders Agreement (as defined and described in Item 6 below) with COMCOR, a principal stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, if the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement are consummated, CNI and COMCOR agreed to vote their Shares and Preferred Stock in the manner described in Item 6 below.

Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons has, as of the date of this Schedule, any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ (a) and (b). As of the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons owns any Shares. The Reporting Persons may, however, be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to the 4,744,268 Shares that are covered by the Voting Agreements described in Item 4 above. This amount constitutes approximately 53.92% of the outstanding Shares, based upon a total of 8,797,100 Shares outstanding. The number of Shares outstanding is based on the number of Shares outstanding as of September 20, 2004, as disclosed by the Company to the Reporting Persons. To the best knowledge of CNI, none of the executive officers or directors of CNI beneficially owns any Shares. (c) Neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of CNI's knowledge, any of the executive officers or directors of CNI have engaged in any transaction in Shares during the past 60 days.

In connection with the foregoing, CNI agreed that, for so long as COMCOR owns at least 15% of the Voting Stock, it will use its best efforts to ensure that the combination of the directors designated by COMCOR and those designated by CNI comprise a majority of the directors on the Board. CNI and COMCOR also agreed that, for so long as each of them is entitled to designate at least one director (in accordance with the provisions described above), each committee of the Board shall consist of at least one director designated by CNI and one director designated by COMCOR (to the extent permitted by applicable law). Page 7 of 15 Pages CNI and COMCOR agreed that, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Subscription Agreement, they will take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Company (i) to acquire from COMCOR, in exchange for Shares, all of the shares of Institute for Automated Systems that are beneficially owned by COMCOR, based on a valuation prepared by an independent expert agreed upon by COMCOR and the Company; (ii) to grant each of CNI and COMCOR a right of first refusal with respect to issuances of securities on a pro rata basis to their then percentage of shareholding in the Company; and (iii) to enter into new employment contracts with certain individuals and grant options to purchase up to 5% of the Shares to certain executives and employees selected by CNI and COMCOR. CNI and COMCOR also agreed that, for so long as they each own at least 15% of the Voting Stock, they shall seek to agree on the following matters: (a) amendment of the organizational documents of the Company or its principal operating subsidiary ("CCTV"); (b) reorganization or liquidation of the Company or CCTV; (c) increasing or decreasing the authorized capital of the Company or CCTV; (d) entry into material transactions by the Company or CCTV in which either COMCOR or CNI is a party; (e) appointment of a new chief executive officer of the Company or a new general director of CCTV; (f) establishing the strategy for the Company and CCTV; (g) any material deviation from the Company or CCTV's business plan; (h) appointment of auditor for the Company and CCTV; and (i) approval of the annual financial statements for the Company and CCTV. In connection with the foregoing, the Shareholders Agreement provides that, in the event that CNI and COMCOR are unable to agree on how to vote with respect to any of the matters set forth above, such matter may be referred by either party to a special committee of the Board, the decision of which shall be binding on the parties. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, each of CNI and COMCOR agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to refrain from transferring any Voting Stock they beneficially own without the prior consent of the other party. Further, each of CNI and COMCOR has the right (for so long as such party holds at least 10% of the Voting Stock) to participate in (on a pro rata basis) in sales of Voting Stock initiated by the other party. In addition, each party has a right of first offer with respect to any shares of Voting Stock the other party proposes to sell. Page 8 of 15 Pages The Shareholders Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) CNI and COMCOR mutually agreeing to terminate the Shareholders Agreement, (b) such time as either party's percentage beneficial ownership of the outstanding Voting Stock falls below 5% and (c) the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of any of CNI, COMCOR or the Company. Co-Sale Agreement In connection with the Subscription Agreement, CNI entered into an agreement dated August 26, 2004 (the "Co-Sale Agreement"), with certain prospective executive officers and consultants of the Company (each, the "Holder") who, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (as described in Item 4 above), will be awarded by the Company options to purchase an aggregate of 1,161,050 Shares under the its 2003 Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to the Co-Sale Agreement, which is subject to the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Subscription Agreement, for so long as CNI holds at least 20% of the outstanding Voting Stock, if CNI proposes a sale of all of the shares of Voting Stock held by it, CNI may require any Holder to sell all the Shares held by such Holder for the same consideration and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the sale by CNI.
