Provision Respecting Legal Representation It is acknowledged by Buyer that each of the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and certain of their respective Affiliates have retained STB to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that STB has not acted as counsel for any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that none of the other parties has the status of a client of STB for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Each of Seller and Buyer hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or any of the Sold Companies, on the one hand, and any of the Seller Group members, on the other hand, STB may represent such Seller Group member in such dispute even though the interests of such Seller Group member may be directly adverse to Buyer or any of the Sold Companies, and even though STB formerly may have represented each of the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and certain of their respective Affiliates in a matter substantially related to such dispute; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if STB, at the time of such dispute, is handling ongoing matters for Buyer or any of the Sold Companies. Buyer further agrees that, in connection with any future dispute between Buyer, any of the Sold Companies and/or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Seller Group members, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as to all communications among STB, the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the applicable Seller Group member, the applicable Sold Company, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or the applicable Affiliate, as the case may be, and may be controlled by the applicable Seller Group member, the applicable Sold Company, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or the applicable Affiliate, as the case may be, and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.
Legal Representation The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that EGS may have, prior to Closing, jointly represented the Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Purchaser Representative and/or the Sponsor in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has also represented the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates in connection with matters other than the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement, EGS will be permitted in the future, after Closing, to represent the Sponsor, the Purchaser Representative or their respective Affiliates in connection with matters in which such Persons are adverse to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including any disputes arising out of, or related to, this Agreement. The Company and the Seller Representative, who are or have the right to be represented by independent counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, hereby agree, in advance, to waive (and to cause their Affiliates to waive) any actual or potential conflict of interest that may hereafter arise in connection with EGS’s future representation of one or more of the Sponsor, the Purchaser Representative or their respective Affiliates in which the interests of such Person are adverse to the interests of the Purchaser, the Company and/or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates, including any matters that arise out of this Agreement or that are substantially related to this Agreement or to any prior representation by EGS of the Purchaser, Merger Sub, any Sponsor, the Purchaser Representative or any of their respective Affiliates. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of the attorney-client privilege, the Sponsor and the Purchaser Representative shall be deemed the clients of EGS with respect to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. All such communications shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Sponsor and the Purchaser Representative, shall be controlled by the Sponsor and the Purchaser Representative and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation; provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party.
