The maximum number of Units that the Company may sell to the Purchasers is 4,166,667. The Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are expressly not subject to or conditioned on the purchase of Units by any or all of such Other Purchasers.

2.2 At the Closing, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate representing the Common Stock, against receipt by the Company of a certified bank check or wire transfer in an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price for the Units set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto.

Section 11. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.
All questions concerning the construction, interpretation, and validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of California will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.
Section 12. Submission to Jurisdiction.
Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of California and the United States of America located in the City of Los Angeles, California, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives, in connection with any such action or proceeding, any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address as set forth herein.
Section 13. Severability.
It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 14. Independence of Agreements, Covenants, Representations and Warranties.
All agreements and covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain agreement or covenant, the fact that such action or condition is permitted by another agreement or covenant shall not affect the occurrence of such default, unless expressly permitted under an exception to such covenant. In addition, all representations and warranties hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached will not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of a representation and warranty hereunder. The exhibits and any schedules annexed hereto are hereby made part of this Agreement in all respects.
Section 15. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Facsimile counterpart signatures to this Agreement shall be acceptable and binding.
Section 16. Headings.
The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 17. Expenses.
Each Party shall pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and any document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby.
Section 18. Preparation of Agreement.

Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that: (i) the Party had the advice of, or sufficient opportunity to obtain the advice of, legal counsel separate and independent of legal counsel for any other Party hereto; (ii) the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair and reasonable to such Party; and (iii) such Party has voluntarily entered into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without duress or coercion. Each Party further acknowledges that such Party was not represented by the legal counsel of any other Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor was he or it under any belief or understanding that such legal counsel was representing his or its interests. Each Party agrees that no conflict, omission, or ambiguity in this Agreement, or the interpretation thereof, shall be presumed, implied, or otherwise construed against any other Party to this Agreement on the basis that such Party was responsible for drafting this Agreement.
