A person is not disqualified for employment under this section solely because of the person’s employment by, representation of, or other relationship with a creditor or other party in interest, if the relationship is disclosed in the application for the person’s employment and if the court determines that there is no actual conflict of interest or inappropriate appearance of a conflict.
