Each Party specifically agrees that failure within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice to commence proceedings to enjoin such waiver or seek related relief, pursuant to Section 8.2(d) and under applicable Law, shall be deemed full and effective consent to such waiver.

The Parties shall utilize the procedures set forth in Article VII and Section 8.14 to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the Everest Retained Business, solely to the Newco Business, or to both the Everest Retained Business and the Newco Business.\n(c) Subject to Sections 5.7(d) and 5.7(e), the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges not otherwise allocated pursuant to Section 5.7(b), and all privileges and immunities relating to any Legal Proceeding, claims, disputes, or other matters that involve both Everest and Athena (or one or more of the members of their respective Group).\n(d) The Parties agree that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by either Party or any member of its respective Group without the consent of the other Party.\n(e) If any dispute arises between Everest and Athena, or the members of their respective Group, regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party and/or the members of their respective Group, each such Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the other applicable Party in good faith; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party or any of the members of its Group; and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party.

The Parties further agree that (i) the exchange by Everest or Athena (or any member of its respective Group) to the other Party (or any member of its Group) of any Privileged Information that should not have been transferred pursuant to the terms of this Article V shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any privilege or immunity that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to such Privileged Information; and (ii) the Party receiving (or for which a member of its Group has received) such Privileged Information shall promptly return such Privileged Information to the Party (or the applicable member of its Group) who has the right to assert the privilege or immunity.\n(j) In furtherance of, and without limitation to, the Parties\u2019 agreement under this Section 5.7, Everest and Athena shall, and shall cause the applicable members of their respective Groups to, use reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including by executing joint defense and/or common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.\n(k) In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a Privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared Privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared Privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared Privilege with respect to third parties. The Parties agree to treat such information as Confidential Information in accordance with Section 5.6, including, but not limited to obtaining appropriate protective orders and sealing of the information to protect the Privilege as to others. The Parties agree to protect the Privileged Information to prevent waivers as to third parties to the fullest extent permitted by law.\n(l) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Everest, Athena and/or Newco as set forth in Section 5.6 and this Section 5.7, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege.

notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 4.5 hereof, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective members of their Group pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.\n(m) The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall become
