Makes Perfect sense.

$12.6M each now plus $2M every quarter that TSG stays afloat plus, on the off chance that they win, still more.

The alternative? No money except out-of-pocket expenses until the case is settled and TSG is bankrupt --in which case the lawyers get paid first, anyway, with whatever is there to pay them with-- or TSG wins on the off chance and they still get paid.

The risk of a bankrupt TSG actually having money to pay the lawers is a risk that they won't take. I would imagine something like this:

"Hey, we think you will lose and recomend that you withdraw your lawsuit but if you want to continue to push Big Blue, pay us in advance and we will move in that direction."

"Okay."

What do I know? I'm no lawyer.
