or possesses sufficient legal rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks,

rights and processes necessary for its business as now conducted and to the best

with, or infringement with the rights of, others. The Company has not received
any communications alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its
business as proposed, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets or other proprietary rights or
processes of any other person or entity. Furthermore, the Company is not
obligated to pay any royalty or fee to any third party on account of the

-4-
10

carrying on of the Company's business by the employees of the Company, nor the
conduct of the Company's business as proposed, will, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract,
covenant or instrument under which any such employee is now obligated. The

develop, manufacture, assemble, distribute, market or sell its products.

provisions of its Restated Articles or By-laws or in any material respect of any

it is a party or by which it is bound or, of any provision of federal or state
judgment, order, writ, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company. To the best of the Company's knowledge, all parties having material
contracts and commitments with the Company are in compliance therewith in all
material respects. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
the Rights Agreement, the Co-Sale Agreement, the Acceleration Agreement, the
Directed Share Agreement and the Voting Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such
violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of
time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision,
instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results
in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the
Company.
(b) The Company has materially complied with all
Material Contracts and has not performed any act, the occurrence of which would
result in the Company's loss of any right granted under any license,
distribution or other agreement (other than the terms of employment arrangements

proposed transactions between the Company and any of its officers, directors,

condition.

other form of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Purchasers with all the information which the Purchasers have requested for
deciding whether to acquire the Stock. In addition, the Company has made
representations concerning its business, including certain of the Company's
projections describing its proposed business (collectively, the "Business Plan")
to the Purchasers. In the course of its representations to the Purchasers
concerning its business, the Company has not omitted any information of which it
is aware that is material to its business prospects. No representation or
warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement and the exhibits attached
hereto, any certificate furnished or to be furnished to Purchasers at the
Closing, or the Business Plan (when read together) contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made. The Business
-6-
12
Plan and the financial projections contained in the Business Plan were prepared
in good faith; provided, however, that the Company does not represent or warrant
that it will achieve such financial projections.
2.15 No Conflict of Interest. The Company is not indebted,
directly or indirectly, to any of its officers or directors or to their
respective spouses or children, in any amount whatsoever other than in
connection with expenses or advances of expenses incurred in the ordinary course
of business. None of the Company's officers or directors, or any members of
their immediate families, are indebted to the Company or to the best of the
Company's knowledge, have any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm
or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company
has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation which competes with the
Company except that officers, directors and/or stockholders of the Company may
own stock in publicly traded companies which may compete with the Company. To
the best of the Company's knowledge, no officer or director or any member of
their immediate families is, directly or indirectly, interested in any Material
Contract with the Company. The Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any
indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation.
2.16 Rights of Registration. Except as contemplated in the
Rights Agreement, the Company has not granted or agreed to grant any
registration rights, including piggyback rights, to any person or entity. At the

Management and each Purchaser.
2.17 Private Placement. Subject in part to the truth and
accuracy of each Purchaser's representations set forth in this Agreement, the
offer, sale and issuance of the Stock as contemplated by this Agreement is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), and neither the Company nor any authorized agent
acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of
such exemption.
2.18 Corporate Documents. The Restated Articles and Bylaws
of the Company are in the form provided to the Purchasers.
2.19 Title to Property and Assets. The Company owns its
property and assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans and
encumbrances, except such encumbrances and liens which arise in the ordinary
course of business and do not materially impair the Company's ownership or use
of such property or assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases,
the Company is in compliance with such leases and, to the best of its knowledge,
holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances.

the Purchasers its unaudited financial statements (including balance sheet and
profit and loss statement) for the period ended December 31, 1996 (the

each other. The Financial Statements fairly present the financial condition and
operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated
therein, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments. Except as set forth in

claims or guarantees contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 1996 and
(ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course
of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to
be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or
in the aggregate are not material to the financial condition or operating
results of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the
Financial Statements and all yearly financials thereafter shall be audited by an
independent certified public accounting firm of national recognition and such
financials shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
2.21 Changes. Since December 31, 1996, there has not been:
(a) any change in the assets, liabilities, financial
condition or operating results of the Company from that reflected in the
Financial Statements, except changes in the ordinary course of business that
have not been, in the aggregate, materially adverse;

covered by insurance, materially and adversely affecting the business,

valuable right or of a material debt owed to it;
(d) any satisfaction or discharge of any lien, claim,

properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company (as such business is
presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted);
(e) any material change to a Material Contract or
agreement by which the Company or any of its assets is bound or subject;
(f) any material change in any compensation
arrangement or agreement with any employee, officer, director or stockholder;
(g) any sale, assignment or transfer of any patents,
trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets or other intangible assets;
-8-
14
(h) any resignation or termination of employment of
any key officer of the Company; and the Company, to the best of its knowledge,
does not know of any impending resignation or termination of employment of any
such officers;
(i) receipt of notice that there has been a loss of,
or material order cancellation by, any major customer of the Company;
(j) any mortgage, pledge, transfer of a security
interest in, or lien, created by the Company, with respect to any of its
material properties or assets, except liens for taxes not yet due or payable;
(k) any loans or guarantees made by the Company to or
for the benefit of its employees, officers or directors, or any members of their
immediate families, other than travel advances and other advances made in the
ordinary course of its business;
(l) any declaration, setting aside or payment or
other distribution in respect to any of the Company's capital stock, or any
direct or indirect redemption, purchase, or other acquisition of any of such
stock by the Company; or
(m) any arrangement or commitment by the Company to
do any of the above items described in this Section 2.21.
2.22 Employee Benefit Plans. The Company does not have any
Employee Benefit Plan as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.
2.23 Tax Returns and Payments. The Company has filed all
tax returns and reports as required by law. These returns and reports are true
and correct in all material respects. The Company has paid all taxes and other
assessments due.
2.24 Insurance. The Company has in full force and effect
fire and casualty insurance policies, with extended coverage, sufficient in
amount (subject to reasonable deductibles) to allow it to replace any of its
properties that might be damaged or destroyed. The Company has in effect term
life insurance policies, payable to the Company, on the lives of Xxxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, each in the amount of $2,500,000.
2.25 Labor Agreements and Actions. The Company is not
bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or
subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or
arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the
knowledge of the Company, has sought to represent any of the employees,
representatives or agents of the Company. There is no strike or other labor
dispute involving the Company pending, or to the knowledge of the Company
threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on the assets,
properties, financial condition, operating results, or business of the Company
(as such business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted),
nor is the Company aware of any labor organization activity involving its
employees. The Company is
-9-

intends to terminate their employment with the Company, nor does the Company
have a present intention to terminate the employment of any of the foregoing.
2.26 Environmental and Safety Laws. To the Company's
knowledge, it is not in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation

3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
3.1 Authorization. This Agreement and the Rights
Agreement, when executed and delivered by such Purchaser will constitute a valid
and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors rights generally, as limited by
laws relating
-11-
17
to the availability of a specific performance, injunctive relief or
other equitable remedies, or (ii) to the extent the indemnification provisions
contained in the Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state
securities laws.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is
made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser's representation to the
Company, which by the Purchaser's execution of this Agreement the Purchaser
hereby confirms, that the Stock (and Common Stock issuable upon conversion
thereof) to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the
Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof and that the Purchaser has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the
Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Stock (or the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof). The Purchaser understands that the
Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) have not been, and
will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific
exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends
upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the
accuracy of the Purchaser's representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser
has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Stock (and the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof). The Purchaser represents that it
has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser believes it
has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to acquire the Stock. The Purchaser further represents that it
has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Stock. The Purchaser's
decision to purchase the Stock is based in part on the answers to such questions
as the Purchaser and its representatives have raised concerning the transaction
and on its own evaluation of the risks and merits of the purchase and the
Company's proposed business activities. The foregoing, however, does not limit
or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this
Agreement or the right of the Purchaser to rely thereon.
3.4 Investment Experience. Such Purchaser is an investor
in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is
able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Series B
Preferred Stock.
3.5 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that
the Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) are
characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws
inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not
involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations
such Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) may be resold
without
-12-
18
registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof) must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private
placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among
other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability
of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring
not less than two years after a party has purchased and paid for the security to
be sold, the sale being effected through a "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a "market maker" (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and the
number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding
specified limitations.
3.6 No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no
public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, that
the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the
Stock or the underlying Common Stock and that, even if such a public market
exists at some future time, the Company may not then be satisfying the current
public information requirements of Rule 144.
3.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any
way limiting the representations set forth above, the Purchaser further agrees
not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Stock (and the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) unless and until:
(a) There is then in effect a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such
disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(b) (i) The Purchaser shall have notified the
Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a
detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition,
and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, the Purchaser shall have
furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the
Securities Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of
counsel for routine transactions made pursuant to Rule 144.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be
necessary for a transfer by the Purchaser to a constituent stockholder or
constituent partner (including any constituent of a constituent) of the
Purchaser, if the transferee or transferees agree in writing to be subject to
the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were the Purchaser hereunder.
3.8 Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Stock
(and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof), and any securities
issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, may bear one or all of the
following legends:
-13-
19
(a) "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT
WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
(b) Any legend required by the laws of the State
of Georgia and the laws of the State of California.
(c) Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of
any other state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented
by the certificate so legended.
A certificate shall not bear such legends if in the opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company (it being agreed that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx &
Xxxxxx or Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP shall be satisfactory) that the
securities represented thereby may be publicly sold without registration under
the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
3.9 Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an
accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under
the Act.
3.10 Brokers or Finders. The Company has not incurred, and
will not incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the
Purchaser any liability for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or
any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Founders.
4.1 Litigation. Each Founder, severally and not jointly,
represents and warrants to the Purchasers that, to the best knowledge of such
Founder, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against the Company or
any of its real property, or against such Founder, nor is there any basis
therefor, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or
currently threatened against the Company that questions the validity of this
Agreement, the Rights Agreement or the Co-Sale Agreement or the right of the
Company to enter into each such agreement, or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. The foregoing includes, without limitation,
actions pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known to such Founder)
involving the prior employment of any of the Company's employees, their use in
connection with the Company's business of any information or techniques
allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations

best knowledge of such Founder, is there any basis therefor) by or before any

thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such New
Securities to the Rights Holder in the manner provided above.
(d) The right of first offer granted under this
Agreement shall expire in the event the Company becomes a reporting Company
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

longer owns, in the aggregate, one-half of the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) owned as of the date
hereof.
