laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of law

deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same

shall pay to the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees and costs
incurred in bringing and prosecuting such Action and/or enforcing any judgment,

be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
mutual intent. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to

receiving a particular benefit under the Agreement. No rule of strict
construction will be applied against any person.

as otherwise expressly provided herein, the term “knowledge,” “known” and all
variations thereof shall mean with respect to any representations, warranty or
statement of any party that is qualified by such party’s “knowledge,” the actual
knowledge of such party without having conducted any special

parties hereto agree that all actions or proceedings with respect to or arising
out of this Agreement shall be litigated exclusively in a state or federal court

Agreement and the shares to be purchased hereunder, and has either done so, or
has determined in his or its sole judgment not to consult with legal counsel
with respect thereto.
