MEMORANDUM TO: TRANSITE PIPE PRODUCT FILE (P-197) FROM: LKB DATE: June 26, 1990 RE: TYPE AND PERCENT OF FIBER IN TRANSITE CONDUIT AND KORDUCT Pursuant to a request from Mr. Yoeli of Gordon and Silber, I attempted to determine the fiber types and percentages in Conduit and Korduct. I first spoke with Tom Sadler, Manville Research and Development, on June 8, 1990, and he stated the following: Generally, Transite Conduit and Korduct contained between 10 to 12 percent asbestos fiber. Of that fiber blend, approximately ten percent was crocidolite for a total of one to one and one-half percent crocidolite in the total product. The remaining fiber was chrysotile. I subsequently spoke with Jack Cran, former Manville Transite Pipe Department employee, and he stated as follows: There was very little asbestos fiber used in the manufacture of Transite Conduit and Korduct--approximately ten percent chrysotile. No crocidolite was ever used. A conversation with Bill Streib, former Manville R&D employee, failed to resolve this dilemma. Therefore, with Mr. Streib's assistance and using the Transite Pipe fiber blend books and manufacturing specifications, I calculated the types and percent of fiber used in Transite Conduit and Korduct for all years in which I was able to obtain both fiber blend formulations and furnish requirements. The results are attached and are summarized as follows: 1. Total Fiber Range: 6.6% - 16.5% .2 Range of Blue Fiber: .02% - 4.45% 3. Range of Chrysotile: 5.4% - 15.12% 4. Range of Amosite (1953 and 1954): 4.0% 4.7% I will manufacturing available. supplement this memorandum when additional specifications and furnish requirements become CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000004 SC-GRAY-4480 RESEARCH REQUEST Initials: Assigned to: Date/Time: JO /O ash*. ; C> /~//76am/pm Z. fcZ (fK Name of Requestor: /H i 0-kct e I y^eJ / Phone: ( ) G~o vRepresenting: r ol 6/1 S'Jb^r Case Name/State: iv i ___ Information Requested: (Sl/Ls K^'^OO. ^ C=> / Date Required: A-Sfi-F (Tru! ,///) Notes: cN f^o-.

Baumgardner, being of full age and first duly sworn do hereby state: 1. Iam not a party to this action. I have personal knowledge ofthe facts set forth in this affidavit, and if called as a witness, I could and would competently testify as to the truth of the matters set forth herein. 2. I am the Research Coordinator for the Claims Resolution Management Corporation ("CRMC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust ("Trust"). The CRMC was created in December 1998 and is staffed by former Trust employees. On January 1, 1999, CRMC began providing claims resolution facility services to the Trust. 3. In this position, I manage the Asbestos Claims Research Facility ("Facility"), a document and records repository located at 3390 Peoria Street, Suite 304, Aurora, Colorado. The Facility contains the business records including but not limited to correspondence, memoranda, reports, records and data compilations ("record") of Manville Corporation or related entities ("Manville"), generally, as well as Manville records relevant to litigation of asbestos liability. The Trust has managed and operated the Facility from November 28, 1988, the date on which the Manville bankruptcy plan was consummated. 4. My experience and familiarity with the documents at the Facility began in 1983 while working for Manville. In my work as a paralegal for Manville, I assisted in locating, indexing and packing many ofthe records which became the foundation documents for the Facility. I continued to work for Manville until September 1987. From March 1988 to September 1988,1 was hired to supervise and assist in the indexing ofthe first 20,000 boxes which were turned over to the Trust in November 1988. From September 1988 to January 1989, I assisted in the privilege review of documents to be given to the Trust. From November 1988 to April 1994,1 worked for Freeborn & Peters and was put in charge of the Facility, managing all productions and "new" acquisitions. In September 1995,1 was hired by the Trust to manage the Facility. In December 1998,1 was hired by Page 1 the CRMC to manage the Facility for the Trust. Accordingly, I am personally familiar with many of the records stored at the Facility, as well as how the records have been gathered. 5. To the best ofmy knowledge, information and belief, I certify that these records were made at or near the time by, or from information transmitted by, a person with knowledge, were kept in the course ofthe regularly conducted business activity of Manville, and it was the regular practice and the business activity of Manville to make the records. 6. Attached are documents found among the file and microfilm box collections at the Facility. These documents, bates labeled CRMC-SBGAB-ConduitPipe-000001 through CRMCSBGAB-ConduitPipe-000092, are true and correct copies of documents found at the Facility. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 16th day of May, 2014. AMYWBENHAM NOTARY PUBLIC STATE OF COLORADO MY COMMISSION EXPIRES 05-23-2016 Page 2
