(8)

	2.3.11	Soil quality A baseline soil survey shall have been measured (nulmeting) within one week after the Completion Date, or such other period that is reasonably necessary to complete the baseline investigation, to measure the level of contamination of the soil including groundwater, on the Cast House Property and Anode Plant Property at Completion (the "Baseline Measurement"). The company performing the soil survey shall be appointed jointly by ZSP, UTB and Century. The costs of the soil survey shall be divided equally between ZSP, UTB and Century. On the date of expiry or termination of the Cast House Ground Lease or Anode Plant Ground Lease the baseline shall be measured again using the same methodology, technology (or if the same technology is no longer available, such methodology as is as close as possible to the methodology as used for the Baseline Measurement) and surveyed areas as the Baseline Measurement to check if the contamination of the soil including groundwater, on the Cast House Property or Anode Plant Property has changed (each a "Final Baseline Measurement"). The costs of each soil survey shall be equally divided between ZSP and UTB, or ZSP and Century, respectively. UTB shall be liable for the contamination of the soil including groundwater on the Cast House Property present on the date of expiry or termination of the Cast House Ground Lease if and to the extent the contamination of the soil including groundwater has increased or new contamination has been found since the Baseline Measurement. If and to the extent it appears that there is an increase of the contamination of the soil including groundwater on the Anode Plant Property and this increase relates to:
		(a)	areas that have been covered by the Baseline Measurement and the Final Baseline Measurement, Century shall be liable for the increase of contamination of the soil, including groundwater, on the Anode Plant Property present on the date of expiry or termination of the Anode Plant Ground Lease, unless Century proves that such increase in contamination is not caused as a result of events on the Anode Plant Property during the Anode Plant Ground Lease;
		(b)	areas that have not been covered by the Baseline Measurement and the Final Baseline Measurement, Century shall only be liable for the increase of contamination of the soil, including groundwater, on the Anode Plant Property present on the date of expiry or termination of the Anode Plant Ground Lease, if and to the extent ZSP proves that such increase in contamination is caused as a result of events on the Anode Plant Property during the Anode Plant Ground Lease.

(9)

		ZSP has the right to create new baseline measurement spots during the Anode Plant Ground Lease on new areas that have been cleared as a result of destruction of buildings. If a baseline measurement is conducted at such new areas, such baseline measurement shall be the "Baseline Measurement" (as referred to in this Clause) for those areas. ZSP shall not be entitled to create any other new baseline measurement spots during the Anode Plant Ground Lease except in the event of exceptional circumstances, such as incidents (including, but not limited to, leakages) and/or emergency situations. Century shall inform ZSP promptly of any environmental incident, emergency situation or leakage on the Anode Plant Property. For the avoidance of doubt, ZSP hereby confirms that Century and UTB shall not be liable for any contamination of the surface water and/or water bottoms as the surface water and/or water bottoms are not part of the Anode Plant Ground Lease and the Cast House Ground Lease, respectively. Century and UTB shall meet the quality standards regarding discharging of water as set out in the environmental permits of the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat).

	2.3.13	Refractory Waste Century shall not be responsible or liable for the refractory waste (including but not limited to the spent cathode lining that is in the soaking basins) located northeast on the Anode Plant Property. UTB shall remove the refractory waste (including but not limited to the spent cathode lining that is in the soaking basins) located on the Property within 18 months after Completion.
	2.3.14	Governing law The deeds with respect to the transfer and division of the Cast House Ground Lease and the Anode Plant Ground Lease (the "Deeds of Ground Lease") and the guarantee granted by the parent company of UTB and Century shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands, excluding the regulations of Dutch Private International Law (Nederlands Internationaal Privaatrecht).
