12.2
Β Public
Announcements.
The
Acquiror shall promptly, but no later than three days following the effective

release or otherwise make any such public statement, filings or other
communications without the prior written consent of the other, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent
shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the
disclosing party shall provide the other party with prior notice of such
public
statement, filing or other communication and shall incorporate into such
public
statement, filing or other communication the reasonable comments of the other

12.3
Β Confidentiality.
Β Β 12.3.1
Β Subsequent
to the date of this Agreement, the Acquirer and the Company will maintain
in
confidence, and will cause their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, and advisors to maintain in confidence, any written, oral, or other
information obtained in confidence from another party in connection with
this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless (a)
such
information is already known to such party or to others not bound by a duty
of
confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no
fault
of such party, (b) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate
in
making any required filing with the Commission, or obtaining any consent
or
approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement, or (c) the furnishing or use of such information is required by
or
necessary or appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.
12.3.2Β In
the
event that any party is required to disclose any information of another party
pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.3.1, the party requested or required
to make the disclosure (the "disclosing party") shall provide the party that
provided such information (the "providing party") with prompt notice of any
such
requirement so that the providing party may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section
12.3. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt
of
a waiver by the providing party, the disclosing party is nonetheless, in
the
opinion of counsel, legally compelled to disclose the information of the
providing party, the disclosing party may, without liability hereunder, disclose
only that portion of the providing party's information which such counsel
advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the disclosing
party
exercises its reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the
providing party's information, including, without limitation, by cooperating
with the providing party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other
relief assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the providing
party's information.
12.3.3

transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, each party

may
reasonably request.

rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not

or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other
than
the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim
under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.
This
Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and
assigns.
