Notwithstanding any conditions of confidentiality imposed by this Section 7.15, the Partners agree that each Partner (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such Partner) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Partner relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to waive the attorney-client privilege or other privileges, including the tax advisor privilege under section 7525 of the Code.
