| 15.1 | Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, Operator shall not be liable to pay or reimburse Contractor in respect of taxes and Contractor shall indemnify and keep indemnified Operator and any other Indemnified Persons from and against any liability for their taxes. |
Notwithstanding anything herein contained, Operator shall not be liable to Contractor for any sum which would otherwise be payable to Contractor that Operator has withheld from payment or paid to the person or authority entitled thereto in accordance with any law or regulation. For the purpose of this Sub clause 15.1 the production of any notice of payment, receipt or any duplicate or facsimile thereof shall be conclusive proof of such payment as between Operator and Contractor.
Whenever necessary, the Contractor shall notify in writing the Operator, and the Operator shall procure as a result of such notification that all reasonable steps are taken and all reasonable assistance is given to the Contractor for the purpose of obtaining all necessary documents in Israel which are required under the relevant jurisdiction of the Contractor in order to apply and enjoy the benefit of the fiscal credit in accordance with the favourable taxation treatment instituted under the applicable double taxation treaties (e.g. tax residency certificates).

| 15A | Value Added Tax |
| 15A.1 | Notwithstanding clause 15.1, the Operator must pay to the Contractor, to the extent required under the relevant laws and regulations, any amount which is payable by the Contractor on account of value added tax or any other like tax ("VAT") as a consequence of any supply made to the Operator under this Agreement ("VAT Amount"). |
| 15A.2 | Such VAT Amount will be payable, to the extent required under the relevant laws and regulations, at the same time and in the same manner as payment of the amount upon which the VAT Amount is calculated.
