Dear Peter: Enclosed please find a copy of plaintiff's Notice For Production of Documents which was served on us on December 12, 1986 . Please note that the request does not identify the subject matter of the documents, thus making it virtually impossible for us to answer. While we could assume that the plaintiff is looking for all documents regarding the sale or delivery of PVC/VCM to Pantasote, I see no reason to do so. I understand the same Notice was served on all defendants, so the defense counsel will probably agree on a course of action such as moving to strike the request or advising the plaintiff's attorney of the deficiency. I will keep you posted. Sincerely, & RLH:js Enclosure PRIVILEGED AND "CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER" ROBERT L. HOLLINGSHEAD UCC 076789 ROBERT P. HAZLEHURST. JR.

Dear Peter: I have received from Claire Barile, Esq., counsel for the PPG group, copies of purchase records maintained by Pantasote since 1978 regarding the purchase of vinyl chloride monomer. Copies of those records are attached hereto. In sum, the records show the following: 1. From 1978 until August, 1981, all VCM purchases were from PPG. 2. In 1981, purchases were also made from Georgia Pacific, Uniroyal and Shintech (with the notation "Formosa material"). Pacific. 3 In 1982, purchases were made from PPG and Georgia 4. In 1983, purchases were made from PPG and Borden. PRIVILEGED AND "CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER" UCC 076791 Pitney, Hardin, Kipp & Szuch Peter F. Davey, Esq. December 22, 1986 Page Two 5. In 1984, purchases were made from PPG and Georgia Pacific. Although the decedent died on June 29, 1984, he had retired on October 1, 1983, so purchases beyond that date would seem irrelevant-. This information supports what the defense counsel were told by Pantasote representatives on October 27, 1986 (see my letter of October 30, 1986) and, hopefully, will result in a successful summary judgment motion for Union Carbide. However, that motion will probably have to wait for some additional discovery from the plaintiff. Sincerely, RLH:j s Enclosure ROBERT L. HOLLINGSHEAD "COWP?ncILEGED AND ORDER" UCC 076792 QUAN.
