'.7 1 T H 3 S SETH: WHSP-EA3, Anaconda is a manufacturer of dry white lead t Chicago, Indiana, and is without facilities for grinding e sane, and whereas Glidden has the necessary facilities for -rinding such lead in oil and is willing under the terns of this agreement to purohase Anaconda dry white lead upon the nnderstanding and agreement that all sales made by it of such White lead ground in oil nay and shall he made under an Anaconda brand, such as is hereinbelow set out upon the conditionsherein stated. How, therefore, it is agreed ' 1. Anaconda gives Glidden the privilege during the contin uance of this contract of using the word "Anaconda" as a brand and trade name upon all packages which Glidden may offer for sale or sell in the United States, or any of it3 foreign poss essions, which contain only basic carbonate of lead manufactured by Anaconda and ground in paste or liquid form by Glidden in suitable vehicles resulting in a quality fully equal to any com peting brands on the market. The label shall plainly show in gredients in accordance with the State laws regulating sales of Paints and varnishes.

`-iae and at its ov/n expense take such actions or proceedings an7 " '
;3y deem in its own interest to be advisable to prevent the as-
ittthorized use of an Anaconda brand upon any white lead or white uc31 lead product. Anaconda agrees that it will not during the continuance 0 this agreement authorize the use of the word "Anaconda" for white 2flad on any brand by any manufacturer other than Glidden, or such of tjie latter'a subsudiaries as Anaconda may authorize to use the same, as in the next paragraph provided.

axtend the same privilege as that hereby given to Glidden with respect to the use of an Anaconda brand to any and all other business firms or corporations owned or controlled or operated as subsidiaries by Glidden or vdiich Glidden may hereafter own or control or operate as subsidiaries, when such other firm or corporation maintains a sep arate legal existence or otherwise conducts business under a name different from that of Glidden's name, such privilege to continue only so long as such other firm or corporation shall continue to be owned or controlled or operated by Glidden as a subsidiary. On the termination of this contract at any time, or on the termination of the right of Glidden to use an Anaconda brand as herein provided, the right of any such subsidiary to use such brand shall terminate unless by new agreement with Anaconda such rights should be continued. In order that any suoh subsidiary may become entitled to use any such Anaconda brand, Glidden must first in writing request that such priv ilege be granted to such subsidiary and the subsidiary must likewise ^ writing request that such privilege be granted, and agree that

t the right of such subsidiary to make use of such a brand be discontinued at any time upon a written notice from Glidden sSa to the subsidiary and to Anaconda requiring that the use be discon tinue d. ' Anaconda is induced to enter into this contract by its iesiie to secure an extended market demand for its white lead-of*ered for sale nnder Anaconda brand, and in the hope and belief that ' judden and its subsidiaries with their facilities for grinding such itjite lead in oil and marketing the same will create such market de' so long as but only so long as no white lead manufacturer other than Anaconda shall acquire either directly or indirectly a majority : ownership of stock or the operating management or control of Hidden; and it is therefore agreed that in case any white lead manufacturer other than Anaconda shall acquire either directly or indirectly a aajority ownership of stock or the operating management or control of Glidden or of any of its subsidiary companies exercising a priv' ilege under this agreement. Anaconda may at its option withdraw from . and terminate the right of Glidden or of any such subsidiary to make : use of an Anaconda brand as hereinbefore permitted without relieving i Glidden from its obligation to continue the purchase of white lead : under this agreement and/or at its election Anaconda may terminate this agreement in whole as between itself and Glidden and/or any such : subsidiary; and Glidden covenants that if its right to use ar.y brand containing the word "Anaconda" is rightfully withdrawn under the

The A. Vilhelm Company, Heading, Pa.
and requests Anaconda to extend such privilege to suoh subsidiaries,
tat reserving to itself the right to designate additional subsidiaries
iron time to time and to request the withdrawal of the privilege from
any subsidiary as above provided.
6 Glidden understands that Anaconda's process for making white lead is patented not only in the United States hut in some foreign countriee, and therefore agrees to proteot Anaconda against any possi ble infraction of foreign patent laws by not taking, carrying, sending r shipping into or offering for sale in Canada or any other foreign
country any white lead of Anaconda's manufacture, whether dry or ground in oil in paste or liquid form, without-first asking and ob taining Anaconda's written consent thereto as regards each and every
PNVC00006167
forsiS11 00TMtry- lb is further understood and agreed that if in to protect its rights under any foreign patent Anaconda nay find
fleC0ssary in such foreign country to manufacture within such country
.*j.er dry white lead or white lead ground in oil in paste or liquid i3 order that the sane may be carried into or sold within such
for lufitry aa a Product within the protection of the patent granted by
of country, then Anaconda may in its discretion and without the
-onsent of Glidden conduct such business of manufacturing and vending guch product within such foreign country.
7 In consideration of the premises and upon the provisions below stated Glidden agrees to purchase from Anaconda, within the
term of this contract, a minimum of nineteen hundred ninety two (1992)
tons of Anaconda dry white lead per annum to be shipped from time to
time as ordered by Glidden and in the manner hereinafter stated. Ex
cept as the parties may from time to time hy agreement in writing
"
otherwise provide, Glidden will, within each calendar month, give an
order or orders for a shipment or shipments to be made within such ,
month aggregating at least One hundred sixty six (166) tons of dry
white lead, and Anaconda will ship the quantities ordered as soon after the receipt of such orders severally as the same can be reasonably
loaded on railway oars.
.
All shipments of dry white lead shall be made in such
barrels or containers as Anaoonda has customarily used or may adopt
for use, and which need not, unless otherwise hereafter agreed, be
returned to Anaconda. (b) in addition to the minimum of Nineteen hundred ninety two (1992) tons which Glidden obligates itself to purchase as above, Glid-
ien shall have the right to purchase and Anaconda shall be under ob-
P*,C06Ua tammmur
to supply during any calendar month- not to exceed an addiligS n e hundred sixty six (166) tons of such dry white lead, hut t.138*1
... upon the following conditions, to wit: In order to obligate ^ia to aahe such additional shipment Glidden must notify Ana.oods- i33 writing as early as the first day of the month preceding ta 3t iu which it requires such shipments to be made of the additional .antity that will be required by Glidden to be shipped during a desighated calendar month, and the shipment or shipments so required to
rjade under such notice shall not in any case, without the consent uf anaconda, exceed an aggregate of One hundred sixty six (166) tons during any one designated calendar month. A notice by Glidden to jjjaconda requiring any additional shipments as permitted by the terms ;f this sub-paragraph (b) may specify one or more months in which such additional shipments will he required, but must with respect to each aonth so designated specify the quantity to be shipped in such month, (c) In addition to the obligation of Glidden to purchase a miniaum amount of Anaconda dry white lead expressed in sub-paragraph (a) of this Paragraph 7, Glidden agrees that to the extent of the ability and willingness of Anaconda to furnish the same, Glidden will purchase and use such load, to the exclusion of any and all other brands of basic carbonate of lead (except a3 regards the completion of its ex isting contract with National lead Company) in all plants owned or controlled or operated by Glidden which use basis carbonate of lead, and to buy from Anaconda the total requirements of said Glidden plants (and of plants owned or controlled or operated by Glidden) of basic lead carbonate, except of the plants owned or controlled or operated by Glidden on the Paoifio Coast. Anaconda agrees that Glidden may Me basic lead carbonate of Anaconda's manufacture at Glidden's plants
PNYC00006169
tii a Pacific Coast if Glidden from tine to time shall so desire; tj.e reason for mentioning such "'acifie Coast plants of G-lidden
^rately is that their distance from Anaconda's manufacturing at hast Chicago, Indiana, may involve such expense for freight
, -o disable Hidden from using .Anaconda -white lead on the Pacific
Sa t'
.
,oast in competition with basic lead carbonate manufactured on the
cifio coast by parties other than Anaconda, '.Then ever the require
ments of such plants shall exceed the maximum of white lead which ^aconda obligates itself to furnish under sub-paragraphs(a) and
(b) of this Paragraph 7, (Hidden will in writing advise Anaconda of
gjioh additional requirements and Anaconda will promptly in `writing
notify Hidden whether Anaconda will furnish the same or some part
thereof. In case of willingness of Anaconda to furnish the whole
or any part of such lead Glidden will give appropriate shipping or
ders therefor and such orders will be filled by Anaconda as in the
case of other orders given under the provisions of this agreement.
The word ''ton" wherever used in this contract means Two
thousand (2,000) pounds.
!
All deliveries to Hidden of white lead are to be deemed
completely effected when the material is loaded upon cars for ship
ment to Glidden at any point from which shipment is authorized, and
Glidden assumes all risk of damage or loss to the shipment after
loading and while in transit. The freight charges from Anaconda's works to any destina-
.tion to 'which Glidden may direct the shipment of white lead shall be
borne by' Glidden, but Anaconda will allow the freight to Glidden on
shipments to the Heath & Milligan plant or other of Glidden's plants
in Chicago, Illinois.
.
It is expected, however, that Anaconda may desire to make
p*rccc 6i?o
mug*
upon sucl1 orders from points other than East Chicago, and
zgraei that upon any order for white lead given by Clidden
nay in its discretion nahe shipment of the lead ordered
! whole or in part from East Chicago or any other point or
eitber w ' *
''
*s at which Anaconda shall at the time have a stoch of its white
d uns^ and available for shipment.
It is further agreed that Anaconda must ship upon such or-
the amount thereof to the extent that it may have unsold stochs
irtiite lead wherever situated, and that any failure to ship -will
t be excused merely because it has not a sufficient available suc-
7 of lead at East Chicago.
8 Inasmuch as the price to be paid, for white lead by Glidden under the provisions of Paragraph 12 has been fixed by the parties or. the basis of deliveries thereof upon railway oars at East Chicago, it ia agreed that if Anaconda shall make shipment from points other than Cast Chicago 1. All freight on suoh shipments shall in the first instance be paid by Glldden, but 2. When the aggregate amount of freight required to be paid on a shipment or shipments made from a point or points other than East Chi cago upon any one order for shipment, shall exceed the amount of freigh that Glidden would have been required to pay if such order had been filled by shipment from East Chicago, Anaconda will reimburse Glidden for such excess of freight charge; but if in any case the aggregate of the freight charges upon shipment of any one order of Glidden .when shipment is in whole or in part made from a point or points other than East Chicago) be less in amount than Glidden would have been re uired
PNYC00006171
if such order of Glidden had been filled at the same time by _,,nt from East Chicago, the saving in freight charges thus rejliii0" ulting shall be credited to and paid Anaconda..! by Glidden. Adjustt and payment of balance owing to either party by the other on -oant of freight under the foregoing provisions shall be made -octhlJ'' 'at the time and place fixed for the monthly payment for lead de made by Glidden insofar as the same can at that time be- as certained
9. Anaconda white lead is manufactured only by Anaconda and the lead required to be delivered hereunder must be delivered from ^aconda's present unsold supply of the manufactured product or that to be produced hereafter at its existing plant in East Chicago, jpaconda's manufacturing plant is at present shut down. Its norml production when operating efficiently is approximately at the rate of Five thousand (5,000) tons of white lead per annum, dince the amount of white lead which Glidden unconditionally agrees to pur chase is only nineteen hundred ninety two (1992) tons during the term of the contract, it is apparent that Anaconda may have a large surplus of white lead within the term of the contract, over and above that which will he required to he delivered on Glidden orders, and that to Prevent an undue accumulation on its hand3 of such white lead it may find it necessary or advisable to limit its production at its plant, or to sell some portion of its white lead to others than Glidden, or both to limit such production and to make such sales to others. It has been and therefore Is agreed as follows: . First: Whenever Anaconda's supply of white lead available for delivery upon Glidden orders shall be les3 than the aggregate required to be delivered during any calendar month upon such orders.
PNYC00006172
amount that Anaconda could under tr:e terms of the contract plus 8
re;uirei to deliver during the next succeeding calendar month. Ana
-iust mate no sales of white lead to others than Glidden.

'
Second: At any time when Anaconda's supply of white lead
teen so far reduced by deliveries upon Glidden orders or sales to
others than Glidden that the supply remaining is no greater than will
je required to make necessary deliveries during the then calendar
aonth and ail deliveries that it could be required to make under the
terns of the contract during the two succeeding calendar months, Ana--
-onda must operate its manufacturing plant and produce at the rate of
at least Three hundred thirty two (332) tons per month of thirty (30)
jays, so long as the supply of white lead available for delivery up
on glidden'3 orders shall be less than the three months' requirements
last above referred to; but this obligation to operate the plant, or
to operate to the extent above provided, is subject to the following
contingencies and conditions, to wit:
Such engagement shall not be deemed broken in case of any
interruption of the operation of such plant, whether complete or par
tial caused or made reasonably necessary by any strike of Anaconda
enployees (whether.such strike be reasonable or unreasonable), or by
failure from any cause of railroad transporation facilities upon
Aich such operation is customarily dependent; nor if such operation
be interrupted or prevented by fire; flood, accident; or by damage
to or destruction (accidental or wilful) of plant or property; nor if
caused by any injunction or lawful restraining order of any Court or
by Governmental restraint or interference, whether Pederal, State or
irunicipal; or inability to obtain.supplies or power for operation.
Third: At any tine when Anaconda's tonnage of unsold white
lead is sufficient in amount for the shipment of all uncanoelled .-lid'

In case of any discontinuance eration under the provision next foregoing Anaconda will not re its supply of white lead by sale to others than Glidden or other below the tonnage required to ship all orders aforesaid which
shall have given, be required to, or have the right to give, ^ will make shipment upon all such orders as under the provisions j this contract required.
pourth. Anaconda nay without liability as to any default discontinue the operation of such plant during the unexpired term of this contract at any time if from fire or other cause the plant or some part thereof, or property used in connection therewith and nec essary to the proper operation thereof, be destroyed or to such an extent damaged that in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Ana conda it would be inexpedient and not in the interest of the company undertake the rebuilding, replacement or repair of the destroyed or damaged property, with a view to continuing the operation of the plan during the remainder of such term, but in any such case Anaconda v/il] promptly notify Glidden of its intention to discontinue such operatic of its plant and Glidden may thereupon at its election either cancel all previously given and uncancelled orders for shipment insofar a3 shipment shall not prior to such time have been made thereon, or Glidden may require Anaconda to ship in accordance with the provis ions of this agreement and upon sNich orders all then unsold mar.uf .0tiired white lead which Anaconda may have on hand up to the- amount
PNYC00006X1*
for by such orders; or Glidden nay cancel Its orders in part
alj-e deliveries from such unsold white lead on hand of any
of the orders remaining uncancelled; or Glidden nay require ranoe

been regularly filled or such supply of white lead shall be es-
ijattSted`
.
AH shipping orders given by Glidden shall specify the
5Slend8.r month in which suoh shipments are to be made, and may
specif? the time in the month when suoh shipment is desired. Ana ida wil1 bip from its available supply of white lead the quan
tity ordered or suoh part thereof as may be available for shipment
thereon as promptly as it nay be able to do so; but it is recognized
by the parties that delays in shipment may occur without fault on
the part of Anaconda, and it is therefore agreed;
30 long as Anaconda shall observe the limitation imposed
hy the terms of Paragraph 9, upon its right to sell white lead to
others than Glidden, Ahaoonda will not be liable in damages for any
delay in any failure to make any shipment ordered where reasonably
unable so to do, and its inability to make the shipment shall arise
from any of the following causes, to wit;
1. Strikes (whether reasonable or unreasonable) of its employees
2. Damage to or destruction of its plant or equipment or some
part thereof, or to supplies or material for use in manufacturing or
to the manufactured white lead product, whatever the cause or manner
suoh damage or destruction and whether accidental, negligent or
alfttl in character. 3. inability of Anaconda to obtain the necessary materials and
PNrC0C00617
for use in the manufacture of its whits lead from customary j gourcea of supply upon which it haa reasonably depended; but
inability cannot to any extent be predicated upon a mere in . the cost op such commodities or lachof funds on the part'of ^condfi.
4, Injunction or restraining order of any Gourt or Governtoi restraint or interference whether Federal, .State or Municipal.
11. ^gilation of orders when shipment thereon is delayed.
'Within the period embracing the 5th to the 10th day of each -alendar month inclusive, Glidden shall have the right to cancel at its election any order previously given by it requiring a shipment to
fade -within any previous calendar month, insofar as shipment shall not have been made thereon prior to giving the notice of cancellation; hioh notice must be in writing and designate appropriately the partic alar order intended to be cancelled. Omission in any month to cancel an order when the right to cancel the same shall arise under the fore going provision will not preclude Glidden from cancelling the same fithin the period embracing the 5th to the 10th day inclusive of any later calendar month to the extent and in the manner above stated; it being intended that the right to cancel any order as aforesaid shall continue so long as any part thereof may be unshipped.
For the purpose of determining the time when payment shall be cade and the price to he paid under the provisions of Paragraph 11 all shipments required hy the terms of the shipping orders will be treated as made within the month specified in the orders if actually shipped on or before the fourth day of the succeeding calendar month, hut if shipped later than such date will be treated as "Delayed ship ments" within the language of the next following provision. "Delayed

During the term of this contract unless the same should

lar nonth the shipping orders required to he given by the terms of
gat paragraph (a) of Paragraph 7, regardless of whether any shipment
j^a been made or not made on orders previously given under any of the ^visions of Paragraph 7; such orders however being subject to can cellation under the conditions and in the manner above provided.

. The weight of white lead to be paid for shall he the weight
a3 determined by Anaconda at the point of shipment, subject to cor
rection for error as below provided. Anaconda's determination with respect to weight of t/hite
lead shall he accepted as final unless Glidden shall within five days after arrival of the lead at its destination notify Anaconda in .vriting of a olaim of error in weight reported by it.
It is intended that any and all controversies as to the
weight of lead shipped shall be submitted by the parties to the Arbit ration Committee of the National Paint, Oil and Tarnish Association,and
the parties will accept and be bound by the deoisions of such Ocnmittee
thereon; but it is agreed that notwithstanding such controversy or con

Glidden agrees to pay-for all white lead shipped to it by onija during any one calendar month on or before the 20th day of - followln6 month at Anaconda's office in Chicago or Hew York, as ^aconda nay in writing direct, in funds current with the banks of Jo*' v- ork City or Chicago, or v/ith eachange. added.
A'deduction may be made from the amount payable for lead 4t the time above stated of the amount (if any) which Anaconda may at jack tine be under obligation to pay Glidden, under the provisions of paragraph 8, on account of freight paid by Glidden, but suoh deduc tion shall not esoeed the amount which Anaoonla shall then concede to be owing, and payment for the lead shall not be delayed because of any disagreement as to the amount payable by Anaconda on account of freight. Any claim by Glidden on account of freight paid not conced ed by Anaconda will be submitted to the Arbitration Committee as pro vided in Paragraph 13
The price to be paid by Glidden for lead shipped under this contract shall be determined as follows:
The average monthly price per pound of pig lead at Hew York luring the calendar month within which any shipment is made shall be taken as published in The Engineering and Mining Journal of flew York, and auch average of such pig lead prices shall be used as a basis. Io the average monthly price of pig lead thus established shall be added a premium of two ('2) cents per pound to make the price of dry

recent years. Anaconda therefore agrees, that if at the tine ni flCv shipment made under this contract its ope.n market price for
white lead shall be lower than the price to be computed by the tii0i. established in Paragraph 12, then Glidden shall only be charg for that shipment the said Anaconda open market price. Glidden jgrees that if at any time within the term of this contract the genI 9J,st market price of dry white lead is more than a figure arrived at ty adding three (3) cents to the average monthly price of pig lead at jew Tork, then Glidden will pay Anaconda three-quarters (3/4) of such eicess above three (3) cents, in addition to the premium of two (2) | 0ents above average monthly price of pig lead as provided in -arajraph 12.
