(c) The Restricted Shares are deemed “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Stockholder shall represent, in writing to Centra prior to the issuance of share certificates representing the Restricted Shares, that (i) he is acquiring the Restricted Shares for investment purposes only and without the intent to make a further distribution of the Restricted Shares, (ii) he is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in securities in general and of an investment in Centra in particular, (iii) he is aware of the limits on resale imposed by virtue of the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) he has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of Centra regarding Centra, its current and proposed business operations and Centra’s Common Stock, and the officers of Centra have made available to such Stockholder all documents and information that such stockholder has requested relating to an investment in Centra.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may transfer all or any of their his Restricted Shares (i) by way of gift to any member of his family or to any trust for the benefit of any such family member of the Stockholder, provided that any such transferee shall agree in writing with Centra, as a condition to such transfer, to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were the Stockholder, or (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in which event each such transferee shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were the Stockholder.

(e) No transfer of Restricted Shares otherwise permitted by this Agreement may be made unless (i) the Restricted Shares shall have first been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) Centra shall have first been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Centra, to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; or (iii) such transfer is within the limitations of and in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Stockholder or any proposed transferee or other person to have any Restricted Shares transferred upon the books of the Company.

3.3 Cancellation. Each eLandia Share held in treasury and each such eLandia Share held by Centra immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and cease to exist, and no Centra Shares shall be issued in exchange therefore.

At and after the Effective Time, the holders of eLandia Shares to be exchanged for Centra Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of eLandia except for the right to surrender such stock certificates in exchange for Centra Shares as provided hereunder.

3.6 eLandia Compensatory Shares. It is acknowledged by the eLandia Stockholders that 1,125,000 of the Merger Shares represent shares issued in exchange for 1,125,000 shares of eLandia Common Stock currently held by officers of eLandia that are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (the “Restricted Shares”). The holders thereof shall at the Closing execute and deliver for the benefit of Centra agreements and undertakings of like tenor as those outstanding for the benefit of eLandia so that Centra shall have the right to repurchase such Merger Shares on the same terms and conditions as eLandia had to repurchase the Restricted Shares in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.
