Monsanto Company ("Monsanto") manufactures certain poly

Buyer desires to purchase PCB's because of certain
desirable flame resistant and insulator properties. Buyer

Monsanto that PCB's tend to persist in the environment;
that care is required in their handling, possession, use
and disposition; that tolerance limits have been or are
being established for PCB's in various food products.
Monsanto has therefore adopted certain restrictive policies with respect to its further production, sale and delivery of PCB's, including the receipt of undertakings from its customers as set forth below, and Buyer is willing to agree to such undertakings with respect to sales and/or deliveries of PCB's by Monsanto to Buyer.
Accordingly, Buyer hereby covenants and agrees that, with respect to any and all PCB's sold or delivered by or on behalf of Monsanto to Buyer on or after the date hereof and in consideration of any such sale or delivery. Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Monsanto, its present, past and future directors, officers, employes and agents, from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, actions, suits, losses, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with the receipt, purchase, possession, handling, use, sale or disposition of such PCB's by, through or under Buyer, whether alone or in combination with other substances, including, without implied limitation, any contamination of or adverse effect on humans, marine and wildlife, food, animal feed or the environment by reason of such PCB's.
