SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO — UNLIMITED JURISDICTION LAURANCE HAGEN, Case No. CGC-10-275582 Plaintiffs, DECLARATION OF JUSTIN CLARK IN SUPPORT OF EX PARTE APPLICATION v. FOR AN ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION ASSOCIATED INSULATION OF CALIFORNIA, INC., et al., Date: May 19, 2016 Defendants. Time: 11:00 AM Judge: Hon. Garrett L. Wong Dept.: 503 Action Filed: — June 2, 2010 I, JUSTIN L. CLARK, hereby declare: lL. I am an attomey licensed to practice law before all courts in the State of California. I am an attorney of the law firm of Selman Breitman LLP, attorneys for Intervenor Fireman's Fund Insurance Company ("INTERVENOR") in these actions. I make this declaration based upon my personal knowledge and if called upon as a witness, I could and would testify competently to the matters stated herein. 2. I am informed and believe that INTERVENOR issued liability insurance policy(ies) to ASSOCIATED INSULATION. That policy may provide ASSOCIATED INSULATION with insurance for the asbestos claims filed against ASSOCIATED 1 DECLARATION OF JUSTIN CLARK IN SUPPORT OF EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTIONSelman Breitman LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW 340306,1. 1210.00000 INSULATION in this case. 3. Based upon information and belief, ASSOCIATED INSULATION's corporate status has been suspended by the California Secretary of State and the California Franchise Tax Board. Attached as Exhibit A hereto is a true and correct copy of a printout from the California Secretary of State website dated March 6, 2016, stating that ASSOCIATED INSULATION's corporate status has been suspended. 4. Attached as Exhibit B hereto is a true and correct copy of a printout from the California Franchise Tax Board, dated March 6, 2016, stating that it does not even have any record of ASSOCIATED INSULATION. 5. INTERVENOR now seeks leave of this court to file its Complaint in Intervention in this case on behalf of its suspended insured, ASSOCIATED INSULATION. 6. INTERVENOR will be severely prejudiced if this ex-parte application is not granted because ASSOCIATED INSULATION is currently a suspended corporation. Pursuant to Revenue & Taxation Code §23301, a suspended corporation such as ASSOCIATED INSULATION lacks the capacity to defend itself in this lawsuit. INTERVENOR now seeks leave of court to file a Complaint in Intervention in this case in order to specifically name INTERVENOR as intervenor on behalf of ASSOCIATED INSULATION, solely in its capacity as an insurer of ASSOCIATED INSULATION. The purpose of the INTERVENOR'S intervention is to contest ASSOCIATED INSULATION's alleged liability and the amount of damages, if any, alleged by plaintiffs. 7. On May 16, 2016, I called plaintiff's counsel, and sent a letter to plaintiffs counsel, via facsimile, advising them that my office would appear in Department 503 of the San Francisco Superior Court on May 19, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. to seek an ex parte order granting INTERVENOR's leave to file a complaint in intervention in this case. A true and correct copy of my May 16, 2016, letter is attached hereto as Exhibit C. I declare that the foregoing is true and correct under penalty of perjury under the laws of; the State of California. 2 DECLARATION OF JUSTIN CLARK IN SUPPORT OF EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 7 1 a < 12 Sz E- 13 Re os 14 mz 1s a < 16 & o 17 n 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 340306.1.1210.00000 Mf Executed on thisl J day of May 2016, in San Francisco, California.
