4.7 Regulation FD. Seller and the Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the existence and content of this Agreement and certain information exchanged between the parties hereto constitutes material non-public information under United States federal and state securities laws concerning Purchaser, and (b) trading in the securities of Purchaser while in possession of material nonpublic information or communicating such information to any other person who trades in such securities could subject Seller and/or the Company to liability under the U.S. federal and state securities laws, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, until such time as any such nonpublic information has been adequately disseminated to the public, neither Seller, the Company, nor any of their respective Representatives will, and Seller and the Company shall cause their respective Representatives not to, purchase or sell any securities of Purchaser or communicate any such nonpublic information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities of Purchaser.
