Environmental Contamination Neither Party shall in any event be liable to the other Party for any costs whatsoever resulting from the presence or release of any environmental hazard such Party did not cause or contribute to causing. Each Party shall, at the other Party's request, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party, each of its officers, directors and employees from and against any losses, damages, claims, demands, suits, liabilities, fines, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) that arise out of or from (i) any environmental hazard that such Party, its contractors or agents caused in the work locations or (ii) the presence or release of any environmental hazard for which such Party is responsible under Applicable Law. In the event both Parties contribute to such environmental hazard, they shall each proportionately bear such liability.
Contamination The presence in, on or under land, air or water of a substance (whether a solid, liquid, gas, odour, heat, sound, vibration or radiation) at a concentration above the concentration at which the substance is normally present in, on or under land, air or water in the same locality, that presents a risk of Environmental Harm, including harm to human health or any other aspect of the Environment, or could otherwise give rise to a risk of non-compliance with any Statutory Requirement for the protection of the Environment.
Hazardous Material Such Obligor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, use, generate, manufacture, install, treat, release, store or dispose of any Hazardous Material, except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws or where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

SELLER RESPONSIBLE FOR TAXES AND RECORDS Seller shall be liable for any applicable income taxes, levies, duties, costs, charges, withholdings, deductions or any charges of equivalent effect imposed on, or in respect of the Goods or Services provided by Seller to Apple under this Agreement. Where applicable, Seller will charge Apple sales tax, excise tax, use tax, value added tax ("VAT"), goods and services tax ("GST"), consumption tax, or equivalent type charges (hereinafter "Transaction Taxes") that are owed by Apple solely as a result of the Goods or Services provided by Seller to Apple under this Agreement and which are required or permitted to be collected from Apple by Seller under applicable law. If Apple provides Seller with a valid exemption certificate, Seller shall not collect the Transaction Taxes covered by such certificate. All charges will be supported by valid tax invoices provided by Seller to Apple consistent with the relevant jurisdiction. Where any relevant taxation authority imposes any income tax on the payment for Goods or Services by Apple to Seller and requires Apple to withhold such tax ("Withholding Tax"), Apple may deduct such Withholding Tax from the payment to Seller and remit such Withholding Tax to the relevant taxing authority on behalf of Seller. The determination of the applicability of a Withholding Tax is at Apple’s sole discretion. In the event a reduced Withholding Tax rate may apply on payments to Seller, Seller shall furnish to Apple as soon as practicable all documentation necessary to evidence the qualifications for the reduced rate of Withholding Tax. If the necessary documentation is not provided in a timely fashion before payment, the reduced Withholding Tax rate will not apply and any payments to Seller shall be subject to the full rate of Withholding Tax. Upon reasonable request by Seller, Apple shall furnish Seller with tax receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of such Withholding Tax when available. Seller shall be solely responsible for filing the appropriate tax forms and paying all taxes or fees, including estimated taxes and employment taxes, due with respect to Seller's receipt of payment under this Agreement. Upon request, Seller shall provide Apple with any other necessary tax documentation. Where applicable, a non-U.S. Seller shall note, on each invoice issued to Apple under this Agreement, the amount of Services performed, or Goods provided by Seller within the United States, if any. Seller further agrees to provide Apple with reasonable assistance in the event of a government audit.
Environmental Assessment Buyer shall have the right for a period commencing upon execution of this Agreement by both parties and ending on November 28, 2012, to conduct an environmental assessment of the Assets, at Buyer’s sole risk, liability and expense. Seller shall make available to Buyer, during the environmental assessment period described above, Seller’s historical files regarding prior operations on the Assets, and provide Buyer and its representatives with reasonable access to the Assets to conduct the environmental assessment. Buyer shall provide Seller three (3) days prior written notice of a desired date(s) for such assessment and Seller shall have the right to be present during any assessment and, if any testing is conducted pursuant to Seller’s express prior written consent, Seller may require splitting of all samples. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not have the right to drill any test, monitor or other xxxxx or to extract samples of any air, soil, water or other substance from the Assets without Seller’s express prior written consent. If Buyer proposes a reasonable request to drill a test well or extract a sample pursuant to a systematic and customary procedure for the assessment of the environmental condition of the Assets and Seller refuses to grant its consent to such a well or sampling, then Buyer shall have the right, for a period of seventy-two (72) hours following notification of Seller’s refusal to consent, to deliver written notice to Seller of Buyer’s election to exclude from this transaction the portion of the Assets affected by such proposed test well or sample, and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly by the Allocated Value of such portion of the Assets so excluded. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall Seller ever be obligated to grant its consent to any such test xxxxx or sampling proposed by Buyer, and Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any refusal by Seller to grant its consent shall be the limited right contained in the preceding sentence to exclude the affected Assets from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Buyer fails to exercise the right to exclude such Assets by written notice to Seller delivered prior to the expiration of the seventy-two hour period described above, then Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived such right and shall be obligated to purchase the affected Assets without conducting such testing or sampling or any adjustment of the Purchase Price unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.
