Each payment for: (a) the uncontested penalty demand or uncontested portion, if late, and; (b) the contested portion of the penalty demand determined to be owed, if any, must include an additional amount for Interest accrued from the date of receipt of the demand through the date of payment.

Nothing in this Settlement limits the authority of the United States: (a) to seek any remedy otherwise provided by law for Purchaser’s failure to pay stipulated penalties or interest; or (b) to seek any other remedies or sanctions available by virtue of Purchaser’s noncompliance with this Settlement or of the statutes and regulations upon which it is based including penalties under section 106(b) of CERCLA provided, however, that the United States may not seek civil penalties under section 106(b) for any noncompliance for which a stipulated penalty is provided herein, except in the case of a willful noncompliance with this Settlement or in the event that EPA assumes performance of a portion or all of the Work pursuant to ¶ 30 (Work Takeover). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the United States may, in its unreviewable discretion, waive any portion of stipulated penalties that have accrued under this Settlement.
