A four-page exhibit made up of a routing slip from F. J. McCarthy, Jr. marked 'Indemnity Clause re De Gussa', a one-paragraph draft clause in which Union Carbide agrees to indemnify De Gussa against claims of infringement of German Patent 1,567,517, a handwritten routing slip from Jan W. Mares, and a Mares note to Law Files. In the note, Mares recorded advising J. W. Rawlings on Feb 17, 1971 that the unsigned UCC-Degussa asbestos contract appeared non-exclusive and more a buyer-seller than a distributor relationship, so a termination payment under German law was unlikely.
