Without limiting the foregoing, Chopra has reviewed Purchaser’s publicly-available SEC filings. In evaluating his investment in and acceptance of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued to him hereunder, Chopra has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as set forth in this Agreement or in such Purchaser SEC filings.

 

 

 

 

 

(e)

Chopra has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of his investment in the Purchaser

(b)

Chopra acknowledges that there is a risk that, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, he may incur, suffer or sustain injury, loss, damages, costs, attorney’s fees, expenses, or any of these, which are in some way caused by and/or connected with the parties hereto; or which are unknown and unanticipated at the time this Agreement is signed, or which are not presently capable of being ascertained.

In so doing, Chopra has had the benefit of counsel, and has been advised of, understands, and knowingly and specifically waives his rights under California Civil Code Section 1542 which provides as follows:

 

 

 

 

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of
executing the Release, which if known by him or her, must have
materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

8.

The parties shall, contemporaneously herewith or hereafter, execute such additional documents as may be reasonably necessary to evidence or effectuate the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

9.

No action or failure to act by the parties hereto shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded them hereunder, nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach hereunder, except as may be specifically agreed in writing.

 

 

10.

This Agreement, and any of its terms, conditions and provisions may be modified, amended, altered, supplemented, added to, canceled or terminated only by mutual agreement in writing signed by all the parties hereto.

 

 

11.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and replaces any and all other negotiations, conversations, understandings and/or agreements, written, oral, implied or otherwise.

 

 

12.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original hereof, but all such multiple counterparts shall constitute but a single instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile copy.

binding on and inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of all the parties hereto.

 

 

14.

If it becomes necessary for any party to enforce this contract by employing an attorney, such party shall be entitled to collect reasonable attorney’s fees, and court costs from the non-performing party.

 

 

15.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions, notwithstanding the fact that one or more of the parties to this Agreement is now or may become a resident or citizen of a different state. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had been omitted.
