Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Buyer shall not have access to (A) personnel records of the Business Employees relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information which would violate applicable Law or which in Seller’s opinion is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to risk of Liability, (B) any properties of Seller or its Subsidiaries (whether owned or leased) for purposes of conducting any environmental sampling or testing or any other invasive sampling or testing, (C) any information to the extent relating to any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability or (D) information relating to the Retained Businesses, and (ii) as and to the extent necessary to avoid contravention or waiver, Seller and its Subsidiaries may withhold any document or information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expect to violate any Contract or any Law or would result in the waiver of any legal privilege or work-product privilege; provided that to the extent practicable, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of this subclause (ii) apply.
