4.Interpretation. This Amendment shall be interpreted as if drafted by all Parties, and shall not be construed against any Party by virtue of such Party’s alleged drafting of the Amendment.

 

5.Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute that may arise concerning the interpretation and/or effect of this Amendment shall be submitted to, and the Parties agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue are proper in, the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.

Upon its execution and delivery, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of DeLonge, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.

 

(b)Investment Representations. DeLonge understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). DeLonge also understands that the Shares are being sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon DeLonge’s representations contained in this Agreement.

DeLonge has adequate means of providing for his current needs and possible future contingencies, and he has no need, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell the Shares.

DeLonge has no need for liquidity with respect to the Shares and has sufficient liquid assets to purchase all of the Shares. DeLonge understands that TTSA has no present intention of registering the Shares or any other equity securities. DeLonge also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow DeLonge to transfer all or any portion of the Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times DeLonge might propose. DeLonge also understands that an investment in TTSA involves significant risks and has carefully reviewed and understands all of the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of the Shares.

DeLonge has been advised of or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time, which permits limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

(i)The purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement does not violate the terms of any agreement or other obligation by which DeLonge may be bound.
