Case Number: AC 17-0694 IN THE ASBESTOS CLAIMS COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA

IN RE ASBESTOS LITIGATION, Cause No. AC 17-0694 Consolidated Cases JUDGMENT AND ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT(Robinson Insulation Receivership)

Receiver Nancy Gibson and Allan McGarvey and Mark Kovacich on behalf of certain Libby Plaintiffs have jointly filed a motion (the "Motion") asking this Court to authorize the Receiver's settlement of the insurance coverage claims by Robinson Insulation Company ("Robinson") against ACE Fire Underwriters Insurance Company and ACE Property & Casualty Insurance Company (collectively,"Chubb"), American States Insurance Company ("American States"), and Motorists Commercial Mutual Insurance Company ("Motorists" and, collectively with Chubb and American States, the "Settling Insurers"). A copy of the "Settlement Agreernent and Release"(the "Agreement") between the Receiver and the Settling Insurers is attached to the joint motion ofthe Receiver and certain Libby Plaintiffs, and has been reviewed by this Court. I The court has reviewed the following documentation attached to the Motion and makes these findings based thereon: (a) Exhibit A is a discovery response filed on behalf of Grogan Robinson Lumber Cornpany ("Grogan"). It establishes, and the court finds,(i) that Grogan was the successor to Lurnber Yard Supply and Grogan-Robinson Lumber Cornpany;(ii) ownership and related management of Robinson and Grogan and its predecessors overlapped; and (iii) that, following the winding up of its assets and affairs, Grogan was dissolved in 2018.

(b) Exhibit B is a copy of the Agreement which the Court finds to exhaust the limits of liability coverages in the policies settled thereby.

(c) Exhibit C is an affidavit of Allan McGarvey, attorney for hundreds of Libby asbestos claimants including those with and without claims of exposures during the insurance coverage period. It establishes, and the court finds, that (i) the Agreernent was reached following extensive efforts to identify insurance policies potentially providing coverage for claims against Robinson;(ii) despite reasonable efforts, a Unless defined separately herein, all capitalized terms in this Order have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

EXHIBIT I 001 nurnber of policies and /or declaration sheets, endorsernents, and forrns for several policies could not be located; (iii) secondary evidence of coverages provided by certain policies was located but was also incomplete;(iv) pleadings in a declaratory judgment action filed in U.S. District Court in Montana were filed setting forth the coverage contentions and defenses of the parties to the Agreement;(v) extensive analysis and negotiation was pursued to reach agreernent on the coverages provable and the rneanings thereof; and (vi) counsel for all known individuals with clairns against Robinson are satisfied that the Agreement exhausts the maximum available coverage under the settled policies.

(d) Exhibit D is a Qualified Settlement Fund Trust which the court finds (i) will receive and hold proceeds of the settlement of the settled insurance; (ii) upon further application to and approval of this court, would distribute such proceeds to resolve claims of those with claims against the Receivership estate which constitute occurrences under the coverages of the settled insurance; and (iii) is the appropriate and necessary and customary rnechanisrn to manage those proceeds, as they must be, for the purpose of resolving corresponding clairns.

(e) The affidavits of Allan McGarvey and Receiver Nancy Gibsonestablish, and the court finds, that (i) lawsuits have been filed against both Robinson and Grogan alleging claims for strict product liability for the sarne asbestos injuries with the difference being that Robinson was primarily a manufacturer of the product while Grogan and its predecessor entities were distributors of the product,(ii) the Settling Insurers have been providing a defense of all such claims under reservation of rights, (iii) plaintiffs' counsel have apprised defense counsel that rnany lawsuits may be brought against Grogan alleging strict product liability for darnages for which Robinson is alleged to also be liable, and (iv) the resolution of the clairns against Robinson will therefore not elirninate lawsuits against Grogan for the same injuries or types of injuries.

The court concludes as follows: (A) This Court's March 23, 2018 Order (the "Order") creating the receivership granted authority for the Receiver to rnake dernands that the insurers settle clairns against Robinson (Order 111(c)). The Order, at Order112 (a),(b) requires that the Receiver obtain this Court's approval of"specific proposals" for settlernent.

(B) The proposed settlement entered into by the Receiver and its insurers is appropriately rnade subject to this Court's approval.

(C) The settlernent is in the best interests of the Robinson and Grogan receivership estates because it is a fair and reasonable compromise of disputed insurance coverage issues. The settlement was negotiated in good faith and at arm's length

EXHIBIT I 002 between the Receiver and Mr. McGarvey, on the one hand, and each ofthe Settling Insurers, on the other hand.

(D) The compromise embodied in the Agreement allows the Receiver to liquidate Robinson's and Grogan's insurance coverage for distribution to persons asserting claims against Robinson and/or Grogan, subject to the establishment of a Trust that would, once approved by this court, fairly and equitably distribute the insurance settlement proceeds to those claimants against Robinson and/or Grogan who satisfy the Trust's requir6ments.

(E) The Agreement provides, at paragraph 3.3, that each Settling Insurer shall pay its respective settlement amount into a Qualified Settlernent Fund ("QSF"), and that the Receiver shall not distribute any funds from the QSF except as authorized by this court.

(F) The Receiver has provided due and adequate notice of the Motion, the deadline to object to the Motion, the Agreernent, and the subject matter thereofto all persons known to have asserted Asbestos Claims(as defined in the Agreement)against either Robinson or Grogan and to all of its other insurers, including Home Insurance Company (in liquidation) and Mission Insurance Company (in liquidation). In addition, to ensure the broadest notice possible, the Receiver and the Settling Insurers have published notice ofthe (i) Motion,(ii) the hearing on the Motion, and (iii) the Agreement in USA Today, The Western News, Kalispell Daily Interlake, Missoulian, Great Falls Tribune, and Helena Independent Record on [May 26], 2020, in the Billings Gazette on [May 27], 2020, and in the Sanders County Ledger on [May 28], 2020. Such notice, including the aforesaid notice by publication, was good and sufficient under the particular circumstances to provide adequate and appropriate notice to both known and unknown Asbestos Claimants, and no other or further notice is or shall be required. Accordingly, a reasonable opportunity to object or be heard with respect to the Motion and relief requested herein has been properly afforded to all persons and entities potentially affected by the Agreement.

(G) The relief sought in the Motion is in the best interests of the Robinson and Grogan receivership estates and the Asbestos Claimants. The Receiver has demonstrated good, sufficient, and sound business purposes and justifications for the relief requested in the Motion. The compromise and settlement with the Settling Insurers embodied in the Agreement is consistent with and within the reasonable range of litigation outcomes if the Receiver were to litigate the matters resolved pursuant to this Order.

EXHIBIT I 003 (H) The compromises contained in the Agreement are a valid and proper exercise of the reasonable business judgment of the Receiver and represent an exchange for reasonably equivalent value. The releases to be given by the Receiver pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement are appropriate and should be approved. The Settling Insurers would not have entered into the Agreement or any of the compromises and settlements contained therein, or agreed to pay their respective Settlement Amounts, without the benefit of obtaining the releases contained in the Settlement Agreement and the Injunctions contained in this Order.

(I) This court has inherent equitable authority sufficient to permit it to enter the injunctions contained in Sections 4 and 5 of this Order (the "Injunctions"). The Injunctions are essential to give effect to the settlements and compromises set forth in the Agreement and to fulfill the purposes of both the Robinson and Grogan receiverships. The Settling Insurers have asserted that the Injunctions are a necessary prerequisite for entry into the Settlement Agreement, and the Settling Insurers have informed the Receiver that they will not consummate the settlements and cornprornises set forth in the Agreement, or pay their respective Settlement Amounts in the absence of the Injunction.

Wherefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED and ADJUDGED: (1) The Motion is granted.

(2) The Agreernent settling and releasing the insurance coverage clairns of Nancy Gibson, as court-appointed Receiver for Robinson and Grogan, against the Settling Insurers is hereby fully and finally approved.

(3) Settlement proceeds shall be paid to the Receiver, Nancy Gibson, to be held by the Receiver in a QSF, until such tirne as this court approves the establishrnent of a Trust and appropriate procedures for the Trust to distribute the settlernent proceeds to Asbestos Clairnants.

(4) Pursuant to the Court's inherent equitable authority,(a) all Persons who hold or assert, or rnay in the future hold or assert, any Claim against Robinson, Grogan, or the Receiver arising in connection with the activities covered by the Policies, or in connection with the activities of Robinson or Grogan giving rise to the Clairns that have been rnade or that could be made under the Policies, and (b) all Persons who rnay claim to be an insured, additional insured, or otherwise entitled to any benefit under the Policies, are permanently stayed, barred, restrained, and enjoined from asserting any such Claim or right to entitlement, from comrnencing a proceeding, or taking any other action against ACE Fire Underwriters Insurance Cornpany, ACE Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Motorists Commercial

EXHIBIT I 004 Mutual Insurance Cornpany, or Arnerican States Insurance Company (collectively,the "Settling Insurers") or the persons and entities defined in the Agreernent as "Insurer Parties" for the purpose of obtaining any recovery or other relieffrom the Settling Insurers or the Insurer Parties based on, under, arising out of, related or attributable to, and/or in connection with the Policies.

(5) A11 clairns for contribution, allocation, subrogation, and equitable indernnity, or sirnilar claims, against any of the Settling Insurers (collectively,"Contribution Claims"), whether by parties appearing before the Asbestos Clairns Court or not, are hereby BARRED pursuant to the Court's inherent equitable authority. All Contribution Claims against any ofthe Settling Insurers shall be channeled to the QSF established to hold the Settlement Arnounts paid by the Settling Insurers or to any Trust to which the funds in the QSF are transferred following an order by this Court authorizing such transfer.

(6) This is a final order and judgment for purposes of appeal under Rule 4(1)(a) ofthe Montana Rules of Appellate Procedure.

9 RESPONSES TO INTERROGATORIES 10 INTERROGATORY NO. 1: Please provide a summary of your corporate or business history, 11 including date of incorporation, mergers, consoliclations, re-incorporations, and reorganizations.

12 ANSWER: Lumber Yard Supply objects to this Interrogatory on the grounds that the phrase "corporate or business history" is vague and ambiguous. Lumber Yard Supply also objects to 14 this hilerrogatory on the grounds that it is not appropriately limited in time or scope. Subject to ancl without waiving any of its general or specific objections, Lumber Yard Supply states, upon 16 information and belief, that it was incoiporated in Montana in 1929 as Twin City Finance Co., at which time it was in the business of financing homes. Twin City Finance Co. ceased operating in the early 1930s, becoming inactive, but was not dissolved. In 1948, the name of the company 19 was changed to Lumber Yard Supply Co., and it began business as a lumber wholesaler. In or 20 about 1993, Lumber Yard Supply Co. merged with Grogan-Robinson Lumber Company, a North 21 Dakota company that had been in the retail lumber business since 1906 (originally incorporated 22 as Mahon-Robinson Lumber Co.). When Lumber Yard Supply Co. and Grogan-Robinson 23 Lumber Conipany merged in or about 1993, the combined company became known as Lumber 24 Yard Supply Co. and left the retail lumber business, focusing instead on the wholesale lumber 25 business. In January 2002, a fire at Lumber Yard Supply Co. in Great Falls, Montana destroyed 26 nearly all of its records in existence at that time. In approxiniately March 2015, the assets of 27 Lumber Yard Supply Co., including its name, were sold to Wausau Supply Co. On or about the -4- THIRD PARTY DEFENDANT LUMBER YARD SUPPLY'S RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFFS' FIRST INTERROGATORIES AND REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION Exhibit 02 date of sale, the name of Lumber Yard Supply Co. was changed to Grogan Robinson Lumber Company for put22.se-s-of winding down the company's business. Grogan Robinson Lumber' Cornpany dissolved inilate 2018. Because of the fire in January 2002, the sale of Lumber Yard Supply Co. ausau Supply Co. in 2015, and the dissolution of Grogan Robinson in 2018, access to responsive company recorcls is limited or non-existent. Lumber Yard Supply's investigation is ongoing, and Lumber Yard Supply will supplement its responses to the extent additional responsive information becomes available.

8 INTERROGATORY NO. 2: For each colporation or business entity described above, please clescribe their activities relatecl to placing vermiculite and/or asbestos-containing products into 10 the stream of commerce. The description shoulcl include the name of the corporation or business 11 entity involved; the nianner in which asbestos-containing products were placed into the stream of 12 commerce; the specific products involved, detailed year by year and by brand or trade name; and 13 the amount or volume of all such products placed in the stream of commerce.

14 ANSWER: Lumber Yarcl Supply objects to this Intenogatory on the grouncls that it is not 15 appropriately limited in time or scope. Subject to and without waiver of any of its general or 16 specific objections, Lumber Yard Supply states, upon information and belief and without 17 admitting that any of the products to which Plaintiff Jeremiah Hartle rnay be been exposed 18 contained asbestos, that Lumber Yard Supply Co. sold and clistributed Zonolite (an insulation 19 product produced through heat-treatment of vermiculite) to retailers that it purchased on a per- 20 order basis from Robinson Insulation Company. Upon information and belief, Lumber Yard 21 Supply Co. may also have sold cement board (otherwise known as "asbestos board")to retailers, 22 but states that it does not believe it ever was the primary supplier of any product to Western 23 Building Center. Because of the fue in January 2002, the sale of Lumber Yard Supply Co. to 24 Wausau Supply Co. in 2015, and the dissolution of Grogan Robinson in 2018, access to 25 responsive company records is limited or non-existent. Lumber Yard Supply's investigation is 26 ongoing, and Lumber Yard Supply will supplement its responses to the extent additional 27 responsive information becomes available.

Exhibit B039 G-3 EXHIBIT H — FORM OF SETTLEMENT APPROVAL ORDER IN THE ASBESTOS CLAIMS COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA

IN RE ASBESTOS LITIGATION, Cause No. AC 17-0694 Consolidated Cases JUDGMENT AND ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT(Robinson Insulation Receivership)

Receiver Nancy Gibson and Allan McGarvey and Mark Kovacich on behalf of certain Libby Plaintiffs have jointly filed a rnotion (the "Motion") asking this Court to authorize the Receiver's settlernent of the insurance coverage claims by Robinson Insulation Company ("Robinson") against ACE Fire Underwriters Insurance Company and ACE Property & Casualty Insurance Company (collectively,"Chubb"), American States Insurance Company ("American States"), and Motorists Commercial Mutual Insurance Company ("Motorists" and, collectively with Chubb and American States, the "Settling Insurers"). A copy of the "Settlement Agreement and Release"(the "Agreement") between the Receiver and the Settling Insurers is attached to the joint motion of the Receiver and certain Libby Plaintiffs, and has been reviewed by this Court.2 The court has reviewed the following documentation attached to the Motion and makes these findings based thereon: (a) Exhibit A is a discovery response filed on behalf of Grogan Robinson Lumber Company ("Grogan"). It establishes, and the court finds,(i) that Grogan was the successor to Lumber Yard Supply and Grogan-Robinson Lumber Cornpany;(ii) ownership and related management of Robinson and Grogan and its predecessors overlapped; and (iii) that, following the winding up of its assets and affairs, Grogan was dissolved in 2018.

(b) Exhibit B is a copy of the Agreement which the Court finds to exhaust the limits of liability coverages in the policies settled thereby.

(c) Exhibit C is an affidavit of Allan McGarvey, attorney for hundreds of Libby asbestos claimants including those with and without claims of exposures during the insurance coverage period. It establishes, and the court finds, that(i) the Agreernent was reached Unless defined separately herein, all capitalized terms in this Order have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

Exhibit B040 H-1 following extensive efforts to identify insurance policies potentially providing coverage for clairns against Robinson; (ii) despite reasonable efforts, a number of policies and /or declaration sheets, endorsements, and forms for several policies could not be located; (iii) secondary evidence of coverages provided by certain policies was located but was also incornplete;(iv) pleadings in a declaratory judgment action filed in U.S. District Court in Montana were filed setting forth the coverage contentions and defenses of the parties to the Agreement;(v) extensive analysis and negotiation was pursued to reach agreernent on the coverages provable and the meanings thereof; and (vi) counsel for aIl known individuals with claims against Robinson are satisfied that the Agreement exhausts the maximum available coverage under the settled policies.

(d) Exhibit D is a Qualified Settlernent Fund Trust which the court finds (i) will receive and hold proceeds of the settlement of the settled insurance; (ii) upon further application to and approval of this court, would distribute such proceeds to resolve claims of those with clairns against the Receivership estate which constitute occurrences under the coverages ofthe settled insurance; and (iii) is the appropriate and necessary and customary rnechanisrn to manage those proceeds, as they must be, for the purpose of resolving corresponding clairns.

(e) The affidavits of Allan McGarvey and Receiver Nancy Gibsonestablish, and the court finds, that (i) lawsuits have been filed against both Robinson and Grogan alleging claims for strict product liability for the sarne asbestos injuries with the difference being that Robinson was primarily a manufacturer of the product while Grogan and its predecessor entities were distributors of the product,(ii) the Settling Insurers have been providing a defense of all such claims under reservation of rights, (iii) plaintiffs' counsel have apprised defense counsel that many lawsuits may be brought against Grogan alleging strict product liability for damages for which Robinson is alleged to also be liable, and (iv) the resolution of the claims against Robinson will therefore not eliminate lawsuits against Grogan for the sarne injuries or types of injuries.

The court concludes as follows: (A) This Court's March 23, 2018 Order (the "Order') creating the receivership granted authority for the Receiver to make dernands that the insurers settle claims against Robinson (Order¶l(c)). The Order, at Order ¶2 (a),(b) requires that the Receiver obtain this Court's approval of"specific proposals" for settlement.

(B) The proposed settlement entered into by the Receiver and its insurers is appropriately made subject to this Court's approval.

(C) The settlement is in the best interests of the Robinson and Grogan receivership estates because it is a fair and reasonable compromise of disputed insurance

Exhibit B041 H-2 coverage issues. The settlernent was negotiated in good faith and at arm's length between the Receiver and Mr. McGarvey, on the one hand, and each of the Settling Insurers, on the other hand.

(D) The compromise embodied in the Agreement allows the Receiver to liquidate Robinson's and Grogan's insurance coverage for distribution to persons asserting claims against Robinson and/or Grogan, subject to the establishrnent of a Trust that would, once approved by this court, fairly and equitably distribute the insurance settlement proceeds to those claimants against Robinson and/or Grogan who satisfy the Trust's requirements.

(E) The Agreement provides, at paragraph 3.3, that each Settling Insurer shall pay its respective settlement amount into a Qualified Settlement Fund ("QSF"), and that the Receiver shall not distribute any funds from the QSF except as authorized by this court.

(F) The Receiver has provided due and adequate notice of the Motion, the deadline to object to the Motion, the Agreement, and the subject rnatter thereof to all persons known to have asserted Asbestos Clairns (as defined in the Agreement) against either Robinson or Grogan and to all of its other insurers, including Horne Insurance Company (in liquidation) and Mission Insurance Cornpany (in liquidation). ln addition, to ensure the broadest notice possible, the Receiver and the Settling Insurers have published notice of the (i) Motion,(ii) the hearing on the Motion, and (iii) the Agreernent in USA Today, The Western News, Kalispell Daily Interlake, Missoulian, Great Falls Tribune, and Helena Independent Record on [May 26], 2020, in the Billings Gazelte on [May 27], 2020, and in the Sanders County Ledger on [May 28], 2020. Such notice, including the aforesaid notice by publication, was good and sufficient under the particular circumstances to provide adequate and appropriate notice to both known and unknown Asbestos Clairnants, and no other or further notice is or shall be required. Accordingly, a reasonable opportunity to object or be heard with respect to the Motion and relief requested herein has been properly afforded to all persons and entities potentially affected by the Agreement.

(G) The relief sought in the Motion is in the best interests of the Robinson and Grogan receivership estates and the Asbestos Claimants. The Receiver has demonstrated good, sufficient, and sound business purposes and justifications for the relief requested in the Motion. The compromise and settlement with the Settling Insurers embodied in the Agreernent is consistent with and within the reasonable range of litigation outcomes if the Receiver were to litigate the matters resolved pursuant to this Order.

Exhibit B042 H-3 (H) The comprornises contained in the Agreement are a valid and proper exercise of the reasonable business judgment of the Receiver and represent an exchange for reasonably equivalent value. The releases to be given by the Receiver pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement are appropriate and should be approved. The Settling Insurers would not have entered into the Agreement or any of the compromises and settlements contained therein, or agreed to pay their respective Settlement Amounts, without the benefit of obtaining the releases contained in the Settlement Agreement and the Injunctions contained in this Order.

(I) This court has inherent equitable authority sufficient to permit it to enter the injunctions contained in Sections 4 and 5 of this Order (the "Injunctions"). The Injunctions are essential to give effect to the settlements and compromises set forth in the Agreement and to fulfill the purposes of both the Robinson and Grogan receiverships. The Settling Insurers have asserted that the Injunctions are a necessary prerequisite for entry into the Settlement Agreement, and the Settling Insurers have informed the Receiver that they will not consummate the settlements and compromises set forth in the Agreement, or pay their respective Settlement Amounts in the absence of the Injunction.

Wherefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED and ADJUDGED: (1) The Motion is granted.

(2) The Agreement settling and releasing the insurance coverage claims of Nancy Gibson, as court-appointed Receiver for Robinson and Grogan, against the Settling Insurers is hereby fully and finally approved.

(3) Settlement proceeds shall be paid to the Receiver, Nancy Gibson, to be held by the Receiver in a QSF, until such time as this court approves the establishment of a Trust and appropriate procedures for the Trust to distribute the settlement proceeds to Asbestos Claimants.

(4) Pursuant to the Court's inherent equitable authority,(a) all Persons who hold or assert, or may in the future hold or assert, any Claim against Robinson, Grogan, or the Receiver arising in connection with the activities covered by the Policies, or in connection with the activities of Robinson or Grogan giving rise to the Claims that have been made or that could be made under the Policies, and (b) all Persons who may claiin to be an insured, additional insured, or otherwise entitled to any benefit under the Policies, are permanently stayed, barred, restrained, and enjoined frorn asserting any such Claim or right to entitlement, from comrnencing a proceeding, or taking any other action against ACE Fire Underwriters Insurance Company, ACE Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Motorists Commercial Mutual

Exhibit B043 H-4 Insurance Cornpany, or American States Insurance Company (collectively, the "Settling Insurers") or the persons and entities defined in the Agreement as "Insurer Parties" for the purpose of obtaining any recbvery or other relief frorn the Settling Insurers or the Insurer Parties based on, under, arising out of, related or attributable to, and/or in connection with the Policies.

(5) All clairns for contribution, allocation, subrogation, and equitable indemnity, or similar claims, against any ofthe Settling Insurers (collectively, "Contribution Claims"), whether by parties appearing before the Asbestos Claims Court or not, are hereby BARRED pursuant to the Court's inherent equitable authority. All Contribution Claims against any of the Settling Insurers shall be channeled to the QSF established to hold the Settlement Amounts paid by the Settling Insurers or to any Trust to which the funds in the QSF are transferred following an order by this Court authorizing such transfer.

(6) This is a final order and judgment for purposes of appeal under Rule 4(1)(a) of the Montana Rules of Appellate Procedure.

State of Montana ) )ss County ofFlathead)

Allan M.McGarvey, being first sworn, deposes and states: 1. I am an attorney ofrecord for hundreds of plaintiffs with asbestos claim cases in this Court. I have personal knowledge of the matters herein with respect to the proposed Settlement Agreement between the Receiver for Robinson Insulation Company and the Settling Insurers.'

2. The clients represented by my firm include asbestos claimants with cases in this Court, many of whom claim exposures during the insurance coverage period of the insurance coverages settled by the Receiver, and many of whom do not have

Exhibit C001 wholesaler, or retailer ofthe same vermiculite products for which my clients assert the liability of manufacturer Robinson Insulation Company.

12.Attached is a transcript of a deposition of Owen Robinson, in which he testified as a Rule 30(b)(6) witness on behalf of Grogan Robinson Lumber Company(Tr p.11, line 24)to the following: p. 10 ,.. Is there any common ownership between the two companies?

7 A: Yes,there was. Yes.

p.14 Lumber Yard Supply was the -- was the wholesale arm of what we considered as our company. Grogan Robinson Lumber Company was the retail arm of what we considered our company.

p.16 ... Did Lumber Yard Supply sell Zonolite on a wholesale basis in the 1977 to 1991 time period?

17 Yes.

p.17 A. It was used as an attic insulation. That was primarily its only use, Zonolite itself. There were other products that were made by Robinson Insulation, but they were never retailed by Lumber Yard Supply.

15 Q Was Zonolite the only vermiculite product that was sold by Lumber Yard Supply in the '77 to '91 time period?

17 A Yes.

13. I have been working with the Receiver and attomeys in the Odegaard Kovacich Snipes firm in drafting of a "Trust Distribution Procedure(TDP)proposal for

Exhibit C002 the distribution ofproceeds ofthe settlement to claimants meeting coverage, exposure, and medical criteria, which drafting is modeled on the type of TDP used in bankruptcies of asbestos manufacturers. It is my expectation and intent to present to the Court by the time the proposed QSF is funded, a proposal for an equitable distribution mechanism and the appropriate procedures for approval thereof.
