2.  Except as may be required by any rule, regulation or law of any kind whatsoever which is applicable to either of us, and except for discussions and communications with our existing or potential advisors, counsel, affiliates, and funding sources (provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality agreements or duties no less stringent that those provided for herein) for a period of two (2) years from the termination of this Acquisition Agreement, each of us shall keep confidential all discussions and communications between us regarding the transactions contemplated in this Acquisition Agreement, including, without limitation, all information communicated herein and all written and printed materials of any kind whatsoever exchanged between us concerning such transactions.
