                                       VS.


            CORNING INCORPORATED, et al.,

                                              Defendants.

                           WHEREAS, Corning Incorporated (“Corning”) has been sued and may in the future be

                sued by claimants seeking damages for bodily injury allegedly caused by exposure to Unibestos

                and asbestos—containing spacers distributed by Corhart Refractories, Inc. (collectively, the

                “Unibestos and Corhart Asbestos Claims”); and

                           WHEREAS, on or about August 13, 2009, Corning filed a Motion to Compel Production

                of Documents and Information Regarding Asbestos Knowledge and Underwriting and Claims

                Guidelines at Motion Sequence 64 (the “Motion”);

                           WHEREAS, on or about September 30, 2009, the Court held a hearing on the Motion

                and issued a ruling with respect to that part of the Motion concerning underwriting and claims

                guidelines, which therefore is not the subject of this Stipulation and Order; and

                           WHEREAS, Corning and Granite State Insurance Company (“Granite State”) agree that

                the remainder of the Motion seeking to compel production of documents and information

                regarding asbestos knowledge will be withdrawn as and against Granite State, with prejudice,

                subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.



                00308642
NOW, therefore, it is stipulated and agreed by and between Granite State and Corning

through their undersigned attorneys as follows:

          1      Granite State hereby withdraws, with prejudice, its “Sixth”, “Seventh”,

“Eleventh”, “Sixteenth”, and “Twenty-fourth” Affirmative Defenses, as set forth in the

ANSWER TO DEFENDANT CORNING, INC.’S CROSS-CLAIM AGAINST CO-

DEFENDANTS, dated October 16, 2006 (the “Answer”), a true and correct copy of which is

attached hereto as Exhibit A.

          2      Granite State hereby withdraws, with prejudice, its “Ninth” Affirmative Defense

to the extent such defense is that bodily injury does not constitute an occurrence because Corning

expected or intended bodily injury from asbestos. Collectively, the Affirmative Defenses

withdrawn under paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be defined as the “Withdrawn Affirmative Defenses.”

          3      Granite State shall not raise, offer, attempt to use, or seek to benefit from the

Withdrawn Affirmative Defenses, whether asserted by Granite State or any other party to this

action.

          4      At the time of trial, the parties will redact the above Affirmative Defenses from

Granite State's Answer pursuant to the terms of this Stipulation.

          5      The Motion, as and against Granite State only, is hereby withdrawn with

prejudice.
6        This stipulation applies to this action only, and shall not be used in any manner,

including but not limited to any attempt to enter it into evidence, in any other action or

proceeding.
