(d)Information. The Buyer and its advisors (and his, her, or its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances, and operations of the Company and information the Buyer or such individual deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding the Buyer’s purchase of the Units that have been requested by the Buyer.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement, and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Las Vegas, County of Clark, State of Nevada, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under the Warrants or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action, or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.
