Privilege Where any Confidential Information is also privileged, the waiver of such privilege is limited to the purposes of this Agreement and does not, and is not intended to, result in any wider waiver of the privilege. Any Party hereto in possession of any Confidential Information relating to any other Party hereto (a “privilege holder”) shall take all reasonable steps to protect the privilege of the privilege holder therein and shall inform the privilege holder if any step is taken by any other Person to obtain any of its privileged Confidential Information.
Attorney-Client Privilege The Disclosing Party is not waiving, and will not be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party, regardless of whether the Disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The parties (a) share a common legal and commercial interest in all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is subject to such privileges and protections; (b) are or may become joint defendants in Proceedings to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (c) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either party become subject to any actual or threatened Proceeding to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (d) intend that after the Closing the Receiving Party shall have the right to assert such protections and privileges. No Receiving Party shall admit, claim or contend, in Proceedings involving either party or otherwise, that any Disclosing Party waived any of its attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges with respect to any information, documents or other material not disclosed to a Receiving Party due to the Disclosing Party disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party.
Privileges All privileges that may be asserted under applicable law, including, without limitation, privileges arising under or relating to the attorney-client relationship (including but not limited to the attorney-client and work product privileges), the accountant-client privilege, and privileges relating to internal evaluative processes.
Privileged Communications Xxxxx X. Xxxxx (the “Counsel”) has acted as counsel for the Company and Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions (the “Transaction Engagement”). Notwithstanding the Transaction Engagement, Sellers agree that (a) all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among Counsel, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, or advisors, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the Transaction Engagement (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”) will be deemed to be attorney-client privileged communications that belong to the Company, (b) immediately prior to the Closing, without the need for any further action on the part of any Person, all right, title, and interest of Sellers in and to any and all Privileged Communications shall transfer to and be vested solely in the Company, (c) from and after the Closing, the Privileged Communications and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Company and may be controlled by the Company and shall not be claimed by Sellers or any of their Affiliates, and (d) Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications, or any of its files relating to the Transaction Engagement, to Sellers, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Counsel and Sellers or otherwise. Sellers and their Affiliates will not have access to any such Privileged Communications, or to the files of Counsel relating to the Transaction Engagement. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15 to the contrary, if after the Closing a dispute arises between Sellers or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party, other than the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, Sellers may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of Privileged Communications to such third party; provided, however, that Sellers may not waive such privilege without the written Consent of Purchaser or the Company.

The Company shall have the right to participate in such negotiations and agrees to cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer's request, in any such negotiations. It is acknowledged and understood that no investigation by Buyer or other information received by Buyer shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or other agreement given or made by Seller hereunder. Buyer agrees that any on-site inspections of any Acquired Real Property, including any inspection or study pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(ii) or Section 7.4(b)(iii), shall be conducted in the presence of Sellers or its Representatives. All inspections shall be conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with the use of the Acquired Real Property by Sellers.
