EXHIBIT 10.1

 

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

 

 

This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 14, 2010 (the “Execution Date”), by and among Quepasa Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and each of the purchasers listed on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, the “Purchasers” and individually, a “Purchaser”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase from the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares (the “Shares” or “Purchased Securities”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and each Purchaser are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon exemption from securities registration afforded by Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL STOCK.

 

(a) Company Authorization.  The Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has authorized the issuance and sale of the Shares, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(b) Agreement to Purchase and Sell Securities.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell to each Purchaser, at the Closing (as defined below), that number of Shares of Common Stock set forth opposites uch Purchaser’s name on Schedule A attached hereto.   The purchase price of each Share shall be $7.50 and shall be payable as hereafter set forth.

(c)  Company Participation.  Each Purchaser acknowledges and accepts that the Company’s officers, directors and affiliates may purchase Common Stock and that the Placement Agent, as defined, is not receiving a fee from such purchases.

 

(d) Use of Proceeds.  The Company intends to apply the net proceeds for working capital, capital expenditures, and general corporate purposes as determined by the Company from time to time.

 

(e) Obligations Several, Not Joint.  The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement.  The decision of each of the Purchasers to purchase the Purchased Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser.  Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce such Purchaser’s rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(f) Sale of Common Stock.      

 

(i)     All of the Shares offered must be sold (the “Maximum”).

 

(ii)    As disclosed in Section 1(c) of this Agreement, Shares in this offering may be purchased by officers, directors and affiliates of the Company. Such purchases may be made at any time, and will be counted in determining whether the Maximum has been met.

 

(iii)    The Purchasers acknowledge that they do not expect that the fact that there is sale of sufficient Shares to reach the Maximum indicates that such sales have been made to Purchasers who have no financial or other interest in this offering, or otherwise are exercising independent investment discretion.

 

(iv)    The sale of the Maximum, while necessary to the business opportunities of the Company, is not designed as a protection to the Purchaser or to indicate that the Purchaser’s investment decision is shared by other unaffiliated investors.  Because there may be substantial purchases by officers, directors or affiliates of the Company, the Purchaser should not place any reliance on the sale of the Maximum as an indication of the merits of this offering. The Purchaser acknowledges that it must make its own investment decision as to the merits of this offering.

2. CLOSING.  

 

 (a)           The purchase and sale of the Purchased Securities will occur in one closing, which shall take place at the offices of Harris Cramer LLP, 3507 Kyoto Gardens Drive, Suite 320, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410, not later than two (2) Business Days (as defined below) following the Execution Date, or at such other time and place as the Company and Purchasers representing a majority of the Purchased Securities to be purchased, mutually agree upon (which time and place are referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing”).  On or prior to the Closing Date, each Purchaser shall deliver (i) full payment for the Purchased Securities sold hereunder by wire transfer of immediately available funds to JP Morgan Chase (the “Escrow Agent”) in accordance with the wire instructions on Schedule B and (ii) to the Company, this Agreement duly executed by such Purchaser.  The Company shall issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to each Purchaser one or more stock certificates registered in the name of each Purchaser (or in such nominee name(s) as designated by such Purchaser in the Stock Certificate Questionnaire, attached hereto as Appendix I (the “Stock Certificate Questionnaire”)) representing the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the appropriate Purchaser’s name on Schedule A hereto, and bearing the legend set forth in Section 4(j)(i) herein; provided, however, that the Company may furnish to each Purchaser a copy of the irrevocable instructions to the Company’s transfer agent instructing the transfer agent to deliver a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such Purchaser, registered in the name of such Purchaser (or designated nominee).   Closing documents, other than the stock certificates representing the Purchased Securities, may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission on the Closing Date, with original signature pages sent by overnight courier.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Date” means the date of the Closing, and “Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a federal legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.

 

3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser that, except as set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined below):

The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on, or a material adverse change in, or a group of such effects on or changes in, the business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiaries (as defined below), taken as a whole. Provided, however, a Material Adverse Effect does not exist solely because (i) there are changes in the economy or capital markets or (ii) changes generally affecting the industry in which the Company operates which changes in clauses (i) or (ii) do not disproportionately affect the Company in contrast to its competitors.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers in Section 4 hereof, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the issuance of the Purchased Securities), do not:  (i) contravene or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) or bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”) of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; (ii) to the knowledge of the Company, constitute a violation of any provision of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order or decree applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; or (iii) constitute a default or require any consent under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of, or to a loss of any material benefit to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is entitled under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim or encumbrance on any asset of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries under, any material contract to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or any material permit, license or similar right relating to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries may be bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for such violations, breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Action is currently pending nor does the Company currently intend to initiate any Action that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 (j) Compliance with Law and Charter Documents.  The Company is not in violation or default of any provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws.  The Company has complied and is currently in compliance with all applicable statutes, laws, rules, regulations and orders of the United States of America and all states thereof, foreign countries and other governmental bodies and agencies having jurisdiction over the Company’s business or properties, except for any instance of non-compliance that has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is in default (and there exists no condition which, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a default) in any material respect in the performance of any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is bound or by which the properties of the Company are bound, which default has not been waived and would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(k) Material Non-Public Information.  The Company has not provided to the Purchasers any material non-public information other than information related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  All material non-public information provided to the Purchasers shall be disclosed by the Company pursuant to Section 8(m) hereof.

Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any written notice of, and has no actual knowledge of, any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property which, either individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and to the Company’s and any of the Subsidiaries’ knowledge, none of the patent rights owned or licensed by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries are unenforceable or invalid or infringe the Intellectual Property rights of third parties.

 

(o) Registration Rights. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3(o), the Company is not currently subject to any agreement providing any person or entity any rights (including piggyback registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the SEC or registered or qualified with any other governmental authority.

 

(p) Title to Property and Assets.  The properties and assets of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries that are material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and that are owned by the Company or each Subsidiary are free and clear of all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, charges, encumbrances and security interests, except for (i) statutory liens for the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and (ii) liens, encumbrances and security interests that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not in any material respect affect the business of the Company and any of the Subsidiaries as currently conducted.  With respect to the property and assets that are material to the business of the Company and that it leases, each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with such leases in all material respects.

 

  

9

  

        (q) Taxes.  Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of the Subsidiaries have filed or have valid extensions of the time to file all necessary federal, state, and foreign income and franchise tax returns due prior to the date hereof and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has knowledge of any material tax deficiency which has been asserted or threatened against it.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual or corporation, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.

       (w) No Integrated Offering.  Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, to the knowledge of the Company, neither the Company, nor any Affiliate (as hereafter defined) of the Company, nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Purchased Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Purchased Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act.

 

For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person.

(y) Investment Company.  The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

The Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with all corporate, limited liability company, partnership, trust or individual, as the case may be, power and authority required to enter into this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

 

(b) Due Authorization.  All corporate, limited liability company, partnership, trust or individual, as the case may be, action on the part of the Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery of and the performance of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and all obligations of the Purchaser under the Transaction Documents have been taken and no further consent or authorization of the Purchaser or its board of directors, stockholders, members, or partners, as the case may be, is necessary, and each Transaction Document, when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute such Purchaser’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies and (ii) as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited under federal or state securities laws or by principles of public policy thereunder.

 

  

12

  

        (c) Litigation.  There is no Action pending to which such Purchaser is a party that is reasonably likely to prevent, enjoin, adversely alter or delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Purchase for Own Account.  The Purchased Securities are being acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, in the ordinary course of business, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.  The Purchaser also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Securities.  The Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, direct or indirect, with any other Person to sell or otherwise distribute the Purchased Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge the Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(e) Investment Experience.  The Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Purchased Securities involves substantial risk.  The Purchaser has experience as an investor in securities of companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Purchased Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Purchased Securities and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.  The Purchaser represents that (i) it is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Purchased Securities for an indefinite period of time, and (ii) it has no need for liquidity in such investment.

 

(f) Accredited Purchaser Status.  The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D for one of the reasons on the attached Schedule 4(f).

 

(g) Reliance Upon Purchaser’s Representations.  The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Purchased Securities to it will not be registered under the Securities Act on the ground that such offer and sale will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is based on each Purchaser’s representations set forth herein.

 

(h) Receipt of Information.  The Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the SEC Documents and has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the sale of the Purchased Securities and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.  The Purchaser further acknowledges that pursuant to Section 517.061(11)(a)(3), Florida Statutes and Rule 3E-5090.05(a) thereunder, the Purchaser has had an opportunity to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possesses such information and could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to such Purchaser or to which the Purchaser had access and has received and considered all information it deems relevant to make an informed decision to purchase the Purchased Securities.  Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of such information and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

(i) The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and the Purchaser agrees that it will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the Purchased Securities (except as permitted in Section 4(j) below) unless (1) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (2) the Purchaser provides a reasonably acceptable legal opinion to the Company, to the effect that a sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of the Purchased Securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act and the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (3) the Purchaser provides the Company  a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the transfer of the Purchased Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the Staff of the SEC that enforcement action by taken with respect thereto, (4) the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of a reasonably acceptable legal opinion and seller and broker representation letters, to the extent that a broker representation letter is required) that the Purchased Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), or (5) pursuant to any other exemption contained in the Securities Act provided that the Purchaser provides a reasonably acceptable legal opinion to the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser may transfer the Purchased Securities to its Affiliates provided that (x) the Purchaser provides the Company with a reasonably acceptable legal opinion, (y) such Affiliate is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D and (z) each such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in particular, confirms to the Company that all of the representations set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement are true and correct as to such Affiliate as of the date of the transfer to such Affiliate.

 

(ii) Prior to any proposed transfer pursuant to clause (2), (3), (4) or (5) in Section 4(i) above, the Purchaser shall give written notice to the Company of such Purchaser’s intention to effect such transfer.  Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall be accompanied by the applicable legal opinion, “no action” letter or seller and broker representation letters (to the extent that a broker representation letter is required).

 

           (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(i), no registration statement, legal opinion or “no action” letter shall be necessary for a transfer of the Purchased Securities (1) by a Purchaser that is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date of this Agreement, (2) by a Purchaser that is a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company, (3) by a Purchaser that is a partnership or limited liability company to the estate of any partner, retired partner, or member thereof or (4) by any partner or member of a Purchaser that is a partnership or limited liability company by gift, will or intestate succession to such partner or member’s spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants, ancestors of such partner or member or his or her spouse.

(j) Legends.

 

(i) The Purchaser agrees that, to the extent necessary, the certificates representing the Shares shall bear substantially the following legend:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.”

 

           (ii) Certificates evidencing the Purchased Securities shall not contain the legend set forth in Section 4(j)(i)(1) while a registration statement  covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (2) following any sale of such Purchased Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or (3) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC).  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective (the “Effective Date”) if such legal opinion is required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4(i) or this Section 4(j).

 

          (iii) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, will offer and sell any and all Purchased Securities pursuant to all applicable federal and state securities laws, including pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Purchased Securities as set forth in this Section 4(j) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance on such Purchaser’s representations and contained herein.

  

15

  

 

(iv) In addition, the Purchaser agrees that the Company may place stop transfer orders with its transfer agent with respect to such certificates in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement.  The appropriate portion of the legend and the stop transfer orders will be removed promptly upon delivery to the Company of such satisfactory evidence as reasonably may be required by the Company that such legend or stop transfer orders are not required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.

 

(k) Questionnaires.  The Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Stock Certificate Questionnaire, attached as Appendix I and Appendix II hereto, and the answers to the questionnaires are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement.

 

(l) Restrictions on Short Sales.  Neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of such Purchaser which (i) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) has or shares discretion relating to such Purchaser’s investments or trading or information concerning such Purchaser’s investments, including in respect of the Purchased Securities, or (iii) is subject to such Purchaser’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading, has or will, directly or indirectly, during the period beginning on the date on which Merriman Capital, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) first contacted such Purchaser regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement until the time of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K required by Section 8(m), engage in (1) any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the maintaining of any short position with respect to, establishing or maintaining a “put equivalent position” (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to, entering into any swap, derivative transaction or other arrangement (whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, other securities, cash or other consideration) that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequences or ownership, or otherwise dispose of, any of the Purchased Securities by the Purchaser or (2) any hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Purchased Securities.

 

(m) Independent Investment.  The Purchaser has not agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of any of the Purchased Securities for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and such Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Purchased Securities.

 

  

16

  

(n) General Solicitation.  Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchased Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including  (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communication, or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(o) Confidentiality.  The Purchaser agrees to use any information it receives in the course of and in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement for the sole purpose of evaluating a possible investment in the Purchased Securities and the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is prohibited from reproducing or distributing any such information, this Agreement, or any other offering materials provided by the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Purchaser’s consideration of its investment in the Company, in whole or in part, or divulging or discussing any of their contents except to its advisors and representatives for the purpose of evaluating such investment. The foregoing agreements shall not apply to any information that (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Purchaser, (ii) was already known to the Purchaser prior to its disclosure by the Company or any of its Affiliates to the Purchasers, as evidenced by documentation or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, (iii) is or becomes available to the Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Affiliates (so long as the Purchaser is not aware such disclosure is in breach of a confidentiality obligation to the Company), (iv) is independently developed by the Purchaser’s personnel without access to or use of the confidential information received from the Company or any of its Affiliates, as evidenced by documentation or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company or (v) is legally required to be disclosed by the Purchaser under operation of law or judicial or other governmental order; provided, however, that if the Purchaser is requested or ordered to disclose any such information pursuant to any court or other governmental order or any other applicable legal procedure, it shall provide the Company with reasonably prompt notice of any such request or order to enable the Company to seek an appropriate protective order and shall provide the Company with reasonable assistance in obtaining such protective order at the Company’s sole expense.  Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, the Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
