OmniLit and the Company, on behalf of their respective successors and assigns (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation), further agree that, as to all legally privileged communications prior to the Closing (made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Action arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) between or among OmniLit, the Sponsor and/or any other member of the OmniLit Group, on the one hand, and R&G, on the other hand (the “R&G Privileged Communications”), the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of client confidence shall survive the Merger and belong to the OmniLit Group after the Closing, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by the Surviving Corporation.
