Item 5. Other Events.

          Effective  June  2,  1995,  ILX  Incorporated   ("ILX")  entered  into
Consulting   Agreements  with  Investor  Resource  Services,   Inc.,  a  Florida
corporation,  ("IRC") and  Universal  Solutions,  Inc., a Colorado  corporation,
("Universal")  pursuant  to which IRC and  Universal  agreed to provide  certain
investor  relations,  broker relations and public relations services to ILX. The
Consulting Agreements are Exhibits to ILX's Form S-2 Registration  Statement No.
33-61477.  Under the  terms of the  Consulting  Agreements,  as  amended  in the
related  Option  Agreements  (which are  attached  as Exhibits to ILX's Form S-3
Registration  Statement No. 333-03151),  each of IRC and Universal received from
ILX a total of 50,000 shares of ILX Common Stock (the  "Shares") plus options to
purchase an  additional  250,000  shares of ILX Common  Stock at $1.25 per share
(the "Option  Shares").  ILX agreed that the Shares and the Option Shares may be
registered pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreements.

         The term of the Option  Agreements  originally was to terminate 30 days
after the effective date of any registration described under section 7(b) of the
Consulting  Agreements (a  "Registration")  or June 1, 1997,  whichever occurred
first.  Pursuant  to a  letter  agreement  dated  June  10,  1996  (the  "Letter
Agreement"),  a copy of which was attached as Exhibit A to ILX's Current  Report
dated  June 14,  1996 on Form 8-K,  ILX  agreed to extend the term of the Option
Agreements  so that those Option  Agreements  would  terminate 90 days after the
effective  date of any  such  Registration  or June 1,  1997,  whichever  occurs
earlier.  In consideration  for the extension,  IRC and Universal agreed to, and
did,  exercise  options for 100,000 of the Option Shares at a price of $1.25 per
Option Share.  Pursuant to a letter  agreement dated August 5, 1996 (the "Second
Letter  Agreement"),  a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10 to ILX's Current
Report  dated  August 12, 1996 on Form 8-K, ILX agreed to extend the term of the
Option Agreements so that those Option Agreements would terminate 120 days after
the effective date of any such  Registration or June 1, 1997,  whichever  occurs
earlier.  In consideration  for the extension,  IRC and Universal agreed to, and
did, exercise, collectively, options for 100,000 of the Option Shares at a price
of $1.25 per Option Share. Thereafter, Universal exercised options for 50,000 of
the Option  Shares at a price of $1.25 per  Option  Share.  Because  ILX filed a
Registration  effective May 17, 1996,  pursuant to their terms as amended by the
Letter  Agreement  and  the  Second  Letter  Agreement,  the  Option  Agreements
terminated on September 14, 1996.

         Effective  January 1, 1997,  ILX and IRC entered into a new  Consulting
Agreement  pursuant to which IRC agreed to provide certain  investor  relations,
broker  relations  and public  relations  services  to ILX (the "New  Consulting
Agreement").  The New  Consulting  Agreement  is attached  hereto as Exhibit 10.
Under the terms of the New  Consulting  Agreement,  IRC  received new options to
purchase  350,000 shares of ILX Common Stock at $1.25 per share (the "New Option
Shares").  Further,  pursuant to the terms of the New Consulting Agreement,  ILX
has agreed to allow IRC to exercise  unexercised  options to purchase 150,000 of
the Option  Shares.  The options  granted in the New  Consulting  Agreement with
respect to the New Option Shares and the extended  options for the Option Shares
expire on June 30, 1997.

Date:  January 13, 1997

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT


         This Consulting  Agreement (the "Agreement") is effective as of the 1st
day of January,  1997, by and between ILX Incorporated,  an Arizona  corporation
(the "Company"),  and Investor Resource  Services,  Inc., a Florida  corporation
("Consultant").

         WHEREAS,  the Company is a publicly held company, and the Consultant is
in the business of assisting public companies in financial,  investor, media and
broker relations; and

         WHEREAS,   the  Company  and  Consultant   previously  entered  into  a
Consulting  Agreement effective June 2, 1995 (which,  along with certain related
agreements,  is hereinafter referred to as the "Original Consulting  Agreement")
pursuant  to which  Consultant  provided  certain  services  to the  Company and
pursuant to which the Company  granted to  Consultant  an option (the  "Original
Option") to acquire  250,000  shares of  restricted  common stock of the Company
(the "Original Option Shares"); and

         WHEREAS,  in accordance  with the Original  Consulting  Agreement,  the
Company filed as to the Original Option Shares a registration  statement on Form
S-3 (the "Registration  Statement"),  which registration  became effective on or
about May 17, 1996; and

         WHEREAS,   following  the  expiration  of  the  term  of  the  Original
Consulting  Agreement,  Consultant  continued  to provide  similar  services  to
Company,  the  consideration  for  which  was the  extension  of the term of the
Original Option, which has now expired; and

         WHEREAS,  prior to the  expiration of the term of the Original  Option,
Consultant  exercised  the  Original  Option to the  extent of  100,000  shares,
leaving a balance that remained unexercised of 150,000; and

         WHEREAS,  the  Company  desires to  continue  to retain  Consultant  to
provide certain services to the Company,  in consideration for which the Company
is willing:  (1) to reinstate the Original  Option as to the 150,000 of Original
Option  Shares  previously  unexercised;  and  (2) to  grant  an  option  for an
additional 350,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company; all subject
to the various terms and conditions as described hereinafter.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein,  the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby  acknowledged,
the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.       Duties and Involvement

                  a.       The Company hereby engages Consultant to provide
                           financial and public relations services.  Such
                                       1
                                   EXHIBIT 10
<PAGE>
                           services  will   generally   include  advice  to  and
                           consulting with the Company's  management  concerning
                           marketing  surveys,   investor  profile  information,
                           methods of expanding  investor support and increasing
                           investor  awareness  of the Company and its  products
                           and/or  services,  including  without  limitation the
                           services  set forth on Exhibit "A".  Consultant  will
                           also  provide  additional  services  to the  Company,
                           including   broker   relations,   assisting   in  the
                           preparation and format of due diligence meetings, and
                           attendance at conventions and trade shows. Consultant
                           shall be  responsible  for all  expenses  incurred in
                           connection with providing services to the Company.

                  b.       Consultant  acknowledges that neither  Consultant nor
                           any of its  employees  or  affiliates  is an officer,
                           director,  or agent of the Company, that in rendering
                           advice or  recommendations  to the  Company it is not
                           and  will  not  be  responsible  for  any  management
                           decisions on behalf of the Company and that it is not
                           authorized  or empowered to commit the Company to any
                           recommendation  or  course  of  action.  The  Company
                           represents  that  Consultant  does not have,  through
                           stock  ownership or  otherwise,  the power to control
                           the Company nor to exercise any dominating  influence
                           over its management.

                  c.       Notwithstanding  anything  in this  Agreement  to the
                           contrary,  Consultant represents and covenants to the
                           Company that Charles S. Arnold ("Arnold")  personally
                           (through a consulting  or other  arrangement  between
                           Arnold   and    Consultant)    shall   have   primary
                           responsibility   for  all  material  aspects  of  the
                           services  provided by Consultant to the Company,  and
                           that the Company's  dealings with Consultant will be,
                           among others, with Arnold personally.

         2.       Term

                  This Agreement shall continue until June 30, 1997.


         3.       Compensation

                  As total and  complete  consideration  for the  services to be
                  provided by Consultant to the Company  hereunder,  and subject
                  to Consultant not having  materially  breached this Agreement,
                  the Company hereby agrees as follows:

                           defined below).

                  b.       Grant of Additional Option

                           The Company  hereby  grants to  Consultant  an option
                           (the  "Additional  Option")  to  purchase up to Three

                           the   Company's    restricted   common   stock   (the
                           "Additional  Option  Shares")  at any time during the
                           Option Term (as defined below).

                  c.       Purchase Price

                           The purchase price for the Original Option Shares and
                           the Additional Option Shares  (collectively  referred
                           to hereinafter as the "Option Shares") shall be $1.25
                           per share.

                  d.       Term

                           The term of this Option  (the  "Option  Term")  shall
                           commence  on the date hereof and shall  terminate  on
                           June 30, 1997.

                  e.       Exercises

                           Both the Original  Option and the  Additional  Option
                           (collectively   referred   to   hereinafter   as  the
                           "Option")  may be  exercised  in whole  or part.  The
                           Option  shall  be  exercised  by  delivering  to  the
                           Company written notice of Consultant's election to so
                           exercise,  and  specifying the number of shares to be
                           purchased (the "Notice"). Any Notice that is given by
                           Consultant  to the  Company  during the  Option  Term
                           shall be valid  notwithstanding  that the delivery of
                           the Option shares  purchased may take place after the
                           expiration of the Option Term.

                  f.       Closing

                           The closing of any purchase of shares  pursuant to an
                           exercise of the Option shall take place at the office
                           of the  Company  as  soon  as  practicable  following
                           delivery  of the  Notice,  or at such  other time and
                           place as may be designated by the parties.

<PAGE>
                           At  the  closing,  Consultant  shall  deliver  to the
                           Company a cashiers'  check or wire transfer  funds in
                           the amount of the purchase  price,  together with any
                           other  documents  that the  Company  may  require  to
                           effect the transfer of the purchased  shares from the
                           Company to Consultant.  The Company shall execute and
                           deliver   documents   appropriate   to  transfer  the
                           purchased shares to Consultant.

                  g.       Anti-dilution

                           The  number  and   character  of  the  shares  to  be
                           purchased  upon the  exercise  of the  Option  herein
                           shall be subject to  adjustment  as  provided in this
                           paragraph.  If, after the date hereof,  the number of
                           outstanding  shares of common stock of the Company is
                           increased  by a stock  dividend  payable in shares of
                           common  stock,  or by a  subdivision  or  split-up of
                           shares of common stock,  or the number of outstanding
                           shares of common stock is decreased by a  combination
                           or reclassification of shares of common stock, or the
                           Company  shall  pay  or  make  a  dividend  or  other
                           distribution with respect to common stock (other than
                           in cash or shares of common stock), or in case of any
                           capital  reorganization or of any reclassification of
                           the  common  stock or any  change in the  outstanding
                           common  stock as a  result  of the  consolidation  or
                           merger  of  the  Company   with  or  into  any  other

         7.       Investment Representation

                  a.       Access to Information

                           Consultant  represents  and warrants that it has been
                           provided with access to all  information  relating to
                           the Company  concerning its condition,  financial and
                           otherwise,  its  management,  its  business  and  its
                           prospects that  Consultant has deemed  material.  The
                           Company  represents  that it has provided  Consultant
                           with a copy of the  Company's  most  recent Form 10-K
                           and any subsequent filing required or filed under the
                           rules   and   regulations   promulgated   under   the
                           Securities  Act of 1933 as amended (the "Act") or the
                           Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934  as  amended  (the
                           "Exchange    Act"),   if   any,   (the    "Disclosure
                           Documents"). Consultant acknowledges that it is aware
                           that because of the Company's  financial position and
                           other  factors,  the  acquisition of the shares to be
                           paid to Consultant as compensation hereunder involves
                           a high  degree  of  risk,  including  the  risk  that
                           Consultant  may lose its  entire  investment  in such
                           shares. Consultant further represents that it and its
                           advisors  have  been  afforded  the   opportunity  to
                           discuss the Company  with the  Company's  management.
                           The Company  represents that it has and will continue
                           to  provide   Consultant   with  any  information  or
                           documentation  requested by  Consultant to verify the
                           accuracy  of  the   information   contained   in  the
                           Disclosure   Documents   and   will   promptly   upon
                           Consultant's  request provide  Consultant with a copy
                           of  any  registration  statement  or  other  periodic
                           reporting  documents  filed pursuant to the rules and
                           regulations   of  the  Act  or  the   Exchange   Act.
                           Consultant  has  retained  its own legal and business
                           counsel to the extent Consultant deems necessary, and
                           is  not   relying  on  the  Company  to  explain  the
                           Disclosure Documents.

                  b.       Registration of Securities

                           Consultant  understands  and  acknowledges  that  any
                           shares  acquired  hereunder  are  being  acquired  by
                           Consultant  for its own  account and not on behalf of
                           any  other  person,   and  are  being   acquired  for
                           investment   purposes   and  not  for   distribution.
                           Consultant  represents  that  an  investment  in such
                           shares  is  a  suitable  investment  for  Consultant,
                           taking  into   consideration   the   restrictions  on
                           transferability affecting the shares.

                           not be in  violation  of the  foregoing  covenant  by
                           reason  of  any  delay  in the  effectiveness  of the
                           Amendment  or a  requirement  by the  Securities  and
                           Exchange  Commission  that an amendment or amendments
                           to the  Amendment  be filed  prior to, as a condition
                           of, or following the effective date of the Amendment.

                           initial effective date thereof.

                           In addition, the Company will use its best efforts to
                           provide a list of states  in which  the  Company  has
                           complied   with   applicable   securities   laws  and
                           undertakes to comply with the such states  securities
                           laws and regulations.  The Company undertakes to make
                           available for review and comment by Consultant,  on a
                           timely  basis  and  prior  to  submission   with  any
                           regulatory   agency,   copies   of   the   Amendment.
                           Consultant  agrees that it will not  transfer or sell
                           any  of  the  shares   acquired   hereunder   without
                           registration  under the Act and any applicable  state
                           securities   laws   unless   exemptions   from   such

                           shares  acquired  hereunder  and held by  Consultant,
                           Consultant shall provide to the Company,  in a timely

                           requested  by the  Company.  Furthermore,  Consultant
                           shall  review any and all  materials  transmitted  to
                           Consultant by the Company concerning the registration

                           shall   advise   the   Company   in  writing  of  any
                           misstatement or omission, in such materials.

                  c.       Restrictions on Transfer

                           Consultant is aware that the Additional Option Shares
                           have  not  been  registered  under  the Act and  thus
                           cannot be resold unless they are registered under the
                           Act or  unless  an  exemption  from  registration  is
                           available,  and is aware of the restrictions  imposed
                           on further  distribution of the such shares including
                           the limitations and  applicability  of Securities and
                           Exchange   Commission  Rule  144  and  including  the
                           restrictive  legend  to be  placed  thereon  and stop
                           transfer   orders  to  which  it  will  be   subject.
                           Consultant is an "accredited  investor" as defined in
                           Rule  501(a)  of  Regulation  D  under  the  Act,  as
                           amended.

                           Consultant  shall not  transfer  any shares  acquired
                           hereunder unless and until it has first given written
                           notice to the Company  describing  briefly the manner
                           and nature of the transfer and until:

<PAGE>
                           (i) A federal  registration  statement  (or amendment
                           thereto)  filed by the Company  with  respect to such
                           shares is declared effective; or

                           (ii) The Company and  Consultant  shall have complied
                           with SEC Rule 144; or

                           (iii)   Consultant   presents   the  Company  with  a
                           "noaction" letter,  satisfactory to the Company, from
                           the SEC with respect to the proposed transfer; or

                           (iv)  The  Company   has   received   opinions   from
                           Consultant's   counsel,   in   form   and   substance
                           satisfactory to the Company that such transfer can be
                           made  without   compliance   with  the   registration
                           provisions of the Act or other  securities  laws, and
                           has received such  certifications and agreements from
                           Consultant  and  any  prospective  transferee  as the
                           Company deems appropriate under the circumstances.

                           Consultant  further  acknowledges  that the  Original
                           Option Shares and the  Additional  Option Shares (the
                           "Shares")  have not been  registered  under any state
                           securities  laws or regulations and that they may not
                           be  transferred   unless  Consultant   complies  with
                           applicable   exemptions  from  any  applicable  state
                           securities  laws  and  regulations  and  the  Company
                           receives  evidence   satisfactory  to  it  that  such
                           compliance has occurred  before each and any transfer
                           by Consultant  of the Shares takes place.  Consultant
                           represents  and warrants  that it only shall cause or
                           allow the  transfer  of any or all of the Shares upon
                           complying  with the  restrictions  and conditions set
                           forth in the preceding sentence.

                           Consultant  also  acknowledges  that any  certificate
                           representing   Shares   (the   "Certificate")   would
                           otherwise  contain a "blue sky" legend  setting forth
                           such  restrictions  and the  conditions  under  which
                           Consultant   may  transfer  the  Shares  (the  "Stock
                           Legend").  However, Consultant has requested that the
                           Company  cause the  issuance of the Shares  without a
                           Stock Legend on the Certificate to expedite any legal
                           transfer  of the Shares  from the  Consultant  if and
                           when the  Consultant may do so upon  compliance  with
                           the  restrictions and conditions that would have been

                           indemnifies  and  holds  the  Company,   its  agents,
                           representatives,  officers,  directors  and employees

                           relating to, arising out of or resulting, directly or
                           indirectly,   from  Consultant's  acts  or  omissions

         8.       Indemnification

                  a.       The Company  agrees to  indemnify  and hold  harmless
                           Consultant  and its agents and employees  against any
                           losses,  claims,  damages  or  liabilities,  joint or
                           several, to which Consultant or any such other person
                           may  become  subject,  under  the  Act or  otherwise,
                           insofar   as  such   losses,   claims,   damages   or
                           liabilities  (or  actions,  suits or  proceedings  in
                           respect  thereof)  arise out of or are based upon any
                           untrue  statement of any material  fact  contained in
                           the  Registration  Statement,   the  Amendment,   any
                           preliminary  prospectus,   the  prospectus,   or  any
                           amendment or supplement  thereto,  or arise out of or
                           are  based  upon  the  omission  to state  therein  a
                           material  fact   required  to  make  the   statements
                           contained therein not misleading,  and will reimburse
                           the Consultant or any such other person for any legal
                           or other expenses  reasonably  incurred by Consultant
                           or  any  such  other   person  in   connection   with
                           investigating  or  defending  any such  loss,  claim,
                           damage,  liability,  or action,  suit or  proceeding;
                           provided,  however,  that  the  Company  will  not be
                           liable in any such case to the  extent  that any such
                           loss, claim,  damage or liability arises out of or is
                           based, in whole or in part, upon an untrue statement,
                           or omission or alleged omission from the Registration
                           Statement, the Amendment, any preliminary prospectus,
                           the prospectus,  or any such amendment or supplement,
                           in reliance upon and in conformity  with  information
                           furnished  to the  Company  by the  Consultant.  This
                           indemnity  agreement  will  be  in  addition  to  any
                           liability which the Company may otherwise have.

                  b.       Consultant  will  indemnify  and  hold  harmless  the
                           Company, each of its directors,  each of its officers
                           who has signed the Registration Statement
                                       10
<PAGE>
                           or the  Amendment,  and  each  person,  if  any,  who
                           controls  the  Company  within the meaning of the Act
                           against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
                           which the Company or any such other person may become
                           subject, under the Act or otherwise,  insofar as such
                           losses, claims,  damages, or liabilities (or actions,
                           suits,  or proceedings in respect  thereof) arise out
                           of or are  based  upon any  untrue  statement  of any
                           material   fact   contained   in   the   Registration
                           Statement, the Amendment, any preliminary prospectus,
                           the  prospectus,   or  any  amendment  or  supplement
                           thereto, or arise out of or are based on the omission
                           to state  therein  a  material  fact  required  to be
                           stated  therein or necessary  to make the  statements
                           therein not misleading to the extent that such untrue
                           statement  or omission is made or omitted in whole or
                           in part  in  reliance  upon  and in  conformity  with
                           information  furnished to the Company by  Consultant.
                           Consultant will reimburse any legal or other expenses
                           reasonably  incurred by the Company or any such other
                           person in connection with  investigating or defending
                           any such loss, claim, damage,  liability,  or action,
                           suit or proceeding.  This indemnity agreement will be
                           in addition to any liability which the Consultant may
                           otherwise have.

                  c.       Promptly after receipt by an indemnified  party under
                           this Agreement of notice of the  commencement  of any
                           action,  suit or proceeding,  such indemnified  party
                           will,  if a claim in  respect  thereof  is to be made
                           against an  indemnifying  party under this Agreement,
                           notify  the  indemnifying  party of the  commencement
                           thereof;   but  the   omission   so  to  notify   the
                           indemnifying  party  will  not  relieve  it from  any
                           liability which it may have to any indemnified  party
                           otherwise  under  this  Agreement.  In case  any such
                           action,  suit or  proceeding  is brought  against any
                           indemnified  party,  and it notified an  indemnifying
                           party of the commencement  thereof,  the indemnifying
                           party will be entitled to participate  therein,  and,
                           to the  extent  it may wish,  jointly  with any other
                           indemnifying party similarly notified,  to assume the
                           defense  thereof,  with counsel  satisfactory to such
                           indemnified   party,   and  after   notice  from  the
                           indemnifying  party to such indemnified  party of its
                           election  so  to  assume  the  defense  thereof,  the
                           indemnifying   party  will  not  be  liable  to  such
                           indemnified  party under this Agreement for any legal
                           or  other  expenses  subsequently  incurred  by  such
                           indemnified  party in  connection  with  the  defense
                           thereof other than 
                                       11

                           reasonable costs of investigation.

                  shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right.

         13.      Headings
