ARTICLE 2.
SECURITIES COMPLIANCE UPON TRANSFER
Raghavan understands that he must bear the economic risk of this investment
for an indefinite period of time because the Additional Shares are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or the
securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. Raghavan has been advised
that there is no public market for the Additional Shares and that the Additional
Shares are not being registered under the 1933 Act upon the basis that the
transaction involving their sale is exempt from such registration requirements,
and that reliance by the Company on such exemption is predicated in part on
Raghavan's representations set forth in this Agreement. Raghavan acknowledges
that no representations of any kind concerning the future intent or ability to
offer or sell the Additional Shares in a public offering or otherwise have been
made to Raghavan by the Company or any other person or entity. Raghavan
understands that the Company makes no covenant, representation or warranty with
respect to the registration of securities under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or its dissemination to the public of any current financial or
other information concerning the Company. Accordingly, Raghavan acknowledges
that there is no assurance that there will ever be any public market for the
Additional Shares or that Raghavan will be able to publicly offer or sell any
Shares.
Raghavan represents and warrants that he is able to bear the economic risk
of losing his entire investment in the Company, which investment is not
disproportionate to Raghavan's net worth, and that Raghavan has adequate means
of providing for his current needs and personal contingencies without regard to
any investment in the Company. Raghavan acknowledges that any investment in the
Company involves a high degree of risk. Raghavan acknowledges that he and his
advisors have had an opportunity to ask questions of and to receive answers from
the officers of the Company and to obtain additional information in writing to
the extent that the Company possesses such information or could acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense: (i) relative to the Company and the
Additional Shares; and (ii) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information,
documents, books and records furnished. Raghavan represents, warrants and
covenants to the Company that he is a resident of the State of Georgia, will be
the sole party in
interest as to the Additional Shares and is acquiring the Additional Shares for
his own account, for investment only, and not with a view toward the resale or
distribution thereof.
Raghavan agrees that he will not attempt to pledge, transfer, convey or
otherwise dispose of the Additional Shares except in a transaction that is the
subject of either (i) an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and
any applicable state securities laws, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, which shall
be satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is not
required. Raghavan consents to the placement of legends on any certificate or
documents representing any of the Additional Shares stating that the Additional
Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state
securities laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on
transferability and sale thereof. Raghavan is aware that the Company will make
a notation in its appropriate records, and notify its transfer agent, with
respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Additional Shares.
Raghavan represents and warrants that he is familiar with the business in
which the Company is engaged and, based upon his knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters, is familiar with investments of the sort that he
is undertaking herein, is fully aware of the problems and risks involved in
making an investment of this type and is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of this investment. Raghavan represents and warrants that he is an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
pursuant to the 1933 Act. Raghavan also acknowledges that he is not acquiring
the Additional Shares based upon any representation, oral or written, by any
person with respect to the future value of, or income from, the Additional
Shares but rather upon his own independent examination and judgment as to the
prospects of the Company. Raghavan acknowledges that the Company has made no
oral or written representations or warranties in connection with the issuance of
the Additional Shares and the Company has not made or delivered to Raghavan any
financial projections or forecasts.
Raghavan represents and warrants that the Additional Shares are being
issued to him without any form of general solicitation or advertising of any
type by or on behalf of the Company or any of its officers, directors,
affiliates, agents or representatives and that this Agreement is a valid and
binding obligation of Raghavan enforceable against him in accordance with its
terms.
