private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, give
the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences, in each case in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require either party to provide copies of communications
or take other action that could cause such disclosing party to waive its attorney-client privilege.


 


5.8          Public
Announcements. The parties shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment upon any press release or public statement with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
