None of Client’s Product stored at a Facility will be considered wastes intended by Client for disposal or destruction until Client has provided Patheon with the completed Destruction Request.

 

  (a)

Characterization of a Waste. Upon receipt of a Destruction Request, Patheon or its designated disposal facility will provide Client with, a characterization of the Covered Products (the “Wastes”) which identifies the Wastes as either (i) hazardous or toxic, or (ii) non-hazardous industrial “residual” waste under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Wastes are located upon Patheon’s receipt of the Destruction Request (the “Initial Characterization”). Client will review the Initial Characterization and either provide Patheon with written approval of the Initial Characterization or, if revisions are necessary, provide Patheon (x) any additional documentation required to support or revise the Initial Characterization to assure that the Wastes are completely and correctly identified and characterized for disposal as required by Applicable Laws, and (xi) an approval of the resulting characterization as final.
