Section # Public Disclosures. Before the Closing Date, no party to this Agreement or its Representatives or Affiliates will issue any press release or make any public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except that the Parties and their Affiliates may make any such disclosures required by applicable securities law or securities exchange rules or the California Act. After the Closing Date (if Closing shall occur), no party will issue any press release or make any public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the contents of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section will preclude any party from making any disclosures that are required by Law or the rules or regulations of any agency with jurisdiction over such party (or the securities of any of its Affiliates) or are necessary and proper in conjunction with the filing of any Tax Return or other document required to be filed with any Governmental Entity; provided that, where practicable, the party required to make such disclosure shall allow the other party reasonable time to review and comment thereon in advance of such disclosure.
