After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
Retention of Counsel In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement, including Article IX, Seller shall have the right, at his election, to retain the firm of Drinker Xxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP to represent him in such matter, and Buyer, for itself, the Company and each of their respective post-Closing Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives and consents to any such representation in any such matter and the communication by such counsel to Seller in connection with any such representation of any fact known to such counsel arising by reason of such counsel’s prior representation of Seller or the Company. Buyer, for itself, the Company, their respective post-Closing Affiliates and its and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between Seller and its counsel, including Drinker Xxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement which, immediately prior to the Closing, would be deemed to be privileged communications of Seller or the Company and/or its counsel and would not be subject to disclosure to Buyer in connection with any process relating to a dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise, shall continue after the Closing to be privileged communications with such counsel, and none of Buyer, the Company, their respective post-Closing Affiliates or any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer, the Company or their respective post-Closing Affiliates shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such communications belongs to Buyer or the Company and not Seller. Other than as explicitly set forth in this Section, the parties acknowledge that any attorney-client privilege attaching as a result of legal counsel representing the Company prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing and continue to be a privilege of the Company and not Seller after the Closing.

At the outset of considering a transaction which, if consummated would constitute a Sale of the Company, the Company shall obtain the ability to share with the Investor Counsel (and such counsel’s clients) and shall share the confidential information (including, without limitation, the initial and all subsequent drafts of memoranda of understanding, letters of intent and other transaction documents and related non-compete, employment, consulting and other compensation agreements and plans) pertaining to and memorializing any of the transactions which, individually or when aggregated with others would constitute the Sale of the Company.
