ARTICLE VII -- DEFENSE OF SALE INJUNCTION

7.1 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4 below, in the event that any Claim is brought against Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest that is (i) subject to the Section 105 Injunction issued by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Approval Order; or (ii) is a Claim relating to or arising out of the Subject Policies, which Subject Policies were sold free and clear of such Claims pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Injunction Claim”), Congoleum (prior to the effective date of the Plan) and the Plan Trust (on and after the effective date of the Plan) shall use their reasonable best efforts to establish that such Injunction Claim is enjoined as to Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest by operation of the Approval Order and/or the Section 105 Injunction (“Sale Injunction”). To that end, Congoleum (prior to the effective date of the Plan) and the Plan Trust (on and after the effective date of the Plan), at their respective expense but subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, shall defend the application of the Sale Injunction to any Injunction Claim asserted against Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest.

7.2 In the event that Congoleum or the Plan Trust is precluded by an order of any court of competent jurisdiction from defending the application of the Sale Injunction to any Injunction Claim asserted against Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest, Congoleum or the Plan Trust (as the case may be) shall reimburse Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest, subject to the

provisions of Section 7.4 below, for the reasonable costs they incur in defending the Sale Injunction; provided, however, that Congoleum and the Plan Trust shall have no obligation to pay any internal costs of Mt.

(b) To indemnify Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest to any extent for any Claims, whether for defense costs, expenses, judgments, settlements, or otherwise.

7.3 Within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of any demand, notice, summons or other process received by Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest in connection with any Claim that Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest believes is subject to the Sale Injunction, Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest (as the case may be) shall forward such demand, notice, summons or other process to Congoleum or the Plan Trust (as the case may be). Congoleum or the Plan Trust (as the case may be) shall notify Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of notice of such Claim from Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest whether it agrees that such Claim triggers the defense obligations pursuant to Section 7.1. In the event that there is a dispute whether a Claim triggers the defense obligations pursuant to Section 7.1, Congoleum or the Plan Trust (as the case may be) and Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest (as the case may be) shall meet and confer to attempt to resolve any such dispute. If they are unable to resolve such dispute by meeting and conferring, they may litigate before the Bankruptcy

Court (or, if the Bankruptcy Court refuses to exercise jurisdiction, before any court of competent jurisdiction) whether the Claim at issue triggers the defense obligations pursuant to Section 7.1. While such dispute remains unresolved, Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest has the right to defend the Sale Injunction as they deem appropriate. Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest shall cooperate reasonably with Congoleum and the Plan Trust with respect to the obligations provided in this Article VII.

7.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, the collective obligations of Congoleum and the Plan Trust under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall not, in any event, exceed an aggregate of Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($500,000.00), inclusive of attorneys’ fees, expenses, settlements and judgments incurred in connection with the defense of Injunction Claims brought against Mt.

The FCR shall use his reasonable best efforts to include in any plan proposed by the FCR and/or the Confirmation Order in respect of such plan the Asbestos Channeling Injunction; provided, however, that the inclusion in such plan and/or the Confirmation Order of the Asbestos Channeling Injunction is not a condition or requirement of this Amended and Restated Agreement.

8.3 In the event that the Plan is confirmed and it includes the Asbestos Channeling Injunction, Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest, automatically and without any further action, shall be entitled to, and shall be protected by, the Asbestos Channeling Injunction to the same extent that other settling insurers are protected by the Asbestos Channeling Injunction pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and, subject to Section 8.4, the Plan Trust will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest are protected by the Asbestos Channeling Injunction to the same extent that other settling insurers are protected by the Asbestos Channeling Injunction in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

8.4 In the event that, after the effective date of the Plan, any Asbestos Claim is brought against Mt.

Channeling Injunction as to any Asbestos Claim asserted against Mt.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.5, Congoleum may seek to introduce as evidence in the confirmation proceeding and/or the Coverage Action communications with multiple entities that include Mt.

ARTICLE XI -- EFFECTIVENESS OF

AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT

11.1 This Amended and Restated Agreement is subject to, and shall not become effective and binding unless and until the Approval Order becomes a Final Order.

Immediately and automatically upon the Approval Order becoming a Final Order, and without any need for further action (i) the Settlement Agreement shall be amended and restated as provided in this Amended and Restated Agreement; (ii) this Amended and Restated Agreement shall supersede and replace the Settlement Agreement in its entirety; and (iii) this Amended and Restated Agreement shall become effective and binding in accordance with its terms.

11.2. This Amended and Restated Agreement shall be null and void, and shall have no legal effect in the event that Congoleum’s motion for the Approval Order is denied by an order of the Bankruptcy Court and such order is not the subject of a timely appeal or timely motion for reargument, rehearing or reconsideration, or, in the event that an appeal, reargument, rehearing or reconsideration thereof has been sought, such order shall have been affirmed by the highest court to which the order was appealed, or from which reargument, rehearing or reconsideration was sought, and the time to take any further appeal, or move for reargument, rehearing or reconsideration shall have expired, and no such further appeal, or motion for reargument, rehearing or reconsideration shall have been filed.

11.3 In the event that this Amended and Restated Agreement is null and void and has no legal effect as provided in Section 11.2, the Settlement Agreement remains in full force and effect, and shall continue to be valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the rights and obligations of the Parties under the Settlement Agreement, including the right (if any) to terminate the Settlement Agreement, shall not be affected or impaired by this Amended and Restated Agreement or by the Parties’ conduct in entering into this Amended and Restated Agreement and seeking the Approval Order. In such event, it is the intention of the Parties that their rights and obligations shall be as if this Amended and Restated Agreement had never been formed.

ARTICLE XII -- JUDGMENT REDUCTION

12.1 In the event that another insurer of Congoleum brings a claim for contribution, subrogation, indemnification, reimbursement or other similar claim against Mt. XxXxxxxx and/or Everest in connection with Claims released in this Amended and Restated Agreement, and such insurer obtains a final binding arbitration award or final judgment against or a settlement with Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest (with the consent of Congoleum prior to the effective date of the Plan or with the consent of the Plan Trust following said effective date, which consent in either case shall not be unreasonably withheld), Congoleum or the Plan Trust (as the case may be) shall voluntarily reduce the amount of any final binding arbitration award, final judgment or settlement payment that it has obtained or may obtain from such other insurer by the amount of such other insurer’s final binding arbitration award or final judgment awarded against or settlement with Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest in connection with such contribution, subrogation, indemnification or other similar claim, and shall direct that Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest (as the case may be) shall not be subject to liability for such judgment, arbitration award or settlement.

12.2 Any reduction in judgment, arbitration award or settlement will be accomplished by subtracting from the judgment, arbitration award or settlement against the other insurer the share of the judgment, arbitration award or settlement attributable to Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest (as the case may be).

ARTICLE XIII -- SUBROGATION

13.1 Other than claims against Mt. XxXxxxxx’x and Everest’s reinsurers or retrocessionaires, Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest agree that they shall not pursue subrogation, equitable indemnity, contribution, or reimbursement of the Settlement Amount or any part thereof from any third party, including any other primary or excess insurer of Congoleum or any other subscriber to any of the Subject Policies.

13.2 Effective upon the Trigger Date and to the extent permitted by law, Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest, immediately and automatically, and without any need for further action, hereby transfer and assign to Congoleum all rights, claims, and causes of action relating to subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution that Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest may have, arising out of the Settlement Amount paid hereunder; provided, however, that, if any third-party Person asserts any claim against Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest, Mt. XxXxxxxx or Everest shall be permitted to pursue subrogation, equitable indemnity, contribution, or reimbursement of the Settlement Amount or any part thereof from any such third-party Person in any cross-claim, counter-claim or similar procedure.

13.3 The Parties agree that nothing in this Amended and Restated Agreement shall limit the rights of Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest to make reinsurance claims and pursue their reinsurance recoveries (if any).

ARTICLE XIV -- CONFIDENTIALITY

14.1 Congoleum, Mt. McKinley, Everest, the FCR and the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee (collectively, the “Settling Parties”) each agrees that all matters relating to the negotiation of this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be confidential and are not to be disclosed except by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by written agreement of the Settling Parties except to the extent that disclosure of matters relating to the negotiation of this matter is necessary in connection with obtaining the Approval Order.

14.2 In the event that a private litigant, by way of document request, interrogatory, subpoena, or questioning at deposition, trial, or other proceeding attempts to compel disclosure of anything protected by Section 14.1, the Settling Party from whom disclosure is sought shall decline to provide the requested information on the ground that this Amended and Restated Agreement prevents such disclosure. In the event that such private litigant seeks an order from any court or governmental body to compel such disclosure, or in the event that a court, government official, or governmental body (other than the Internal Revenue Service or the Securities and Exchange Commission) requests or requires disclosure of anything protected by Section 14.1, the Settling Party from whom disclosure is sought shall immediately give written notice by facsimile or hand-delivery to the other Settling Parties, and shall immediately provide copies of all notice papers, orders, requests or other documents in order to allow each Settling Party to take such protective steps as may be appropriate. Notice shall be made to the Persons identified in Section 15.12.

14.3 Material protected by Section 14.1 shall be deemed to fall within the protection afforded to compromises and offers to compromise by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and similar provisions of state law or state court rules.

14.4 Nothing in this Amended and Restated Agreement shall prevent any Settling Party from disclosing or releasing information regarding the negotiation of this Amended and Restated Agreement in any form and at any time after the date of said agreement to (i) reinsurers or retrocessionaires of Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest directly or through intermediaries; (ii) outside auditors, attorneys or accountants of Congoleum, Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest; (iii) to the extent required by law, including, to the extent applicable, to the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or

other United States or other governmental authority that properly requires disclosure by a Settling Party; (iv) to the extent and in any form that such information is required to be disclosed or released to satisfy reporting requirements imposed by law, including any Federal securities laws; and (v) as necessary in connection with the approval of this Amended and Restated Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court.

14.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XIV, Congoleum may issue a press release at any time following the filing of a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of this Amended and Restated Agreement; provided, however, that Congoleum first provides Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest with a copy of the press release and obtains Mt. XxXxxxxx’x and Everest’s consent to said press release (such consent to be provided promptly and not to be unreasonably withheld).

ARTICLE XV -- MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Congoleum will undertake all reasonable actions to cooperate with Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest in connection with their reinsurers, including (at Mt. XxXxxxxx’x and Everest’s sole expense with respect to services and or assistance provided by external Congoleum vendors, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Congoleum) responding to reasonable requests for information and meeting with representatives of reinsurers. Such cooperation shall include providing Mt. XxXxxxxx’x and Everest’s representative, upon reasonable request, access to all claim files maintained by Congoleum, including all product exposure, medical, claim status, and payment records contained in such files; provided, however, that Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest shall have no obligation to pay any internal costs of Congoleum (including costs associated with time or expense of Congoleum’s employees or agents).

15.2 The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Amended and Restated Agreement was bargained for and entered into in good faith and as the result of arm’s-length negotiations; and (ii) the Amended and Restated Agreement is based on their respective independent assessments, with the assistance and advice of counsel, that the payments and other benefits to be received by the Parties pursuant to this Amended and Restated Agreement constitute a fair and reasonable settlement of the Parties’ claims against each other and constitute reasonably equivalent value for the releases, indemnity, and other benefits conveyed under this Amended and Restated Agreement.

15.3 This Amended and Restated Agreement is not a contract of insurance and is not subject to rules of construction governing contracts of insurance, including the doctrine of contra proferentem. This Amended and Restated Agreement is a compromise between the Parties, and shall not be construed as an admission of coverage under the Subject Policies, nor shall it or any provision thereof be construed as a waiver, modification or retraction of the positions of the Parties with respect to the interpretation and application of the Subject Policies.

15.4 This Amended and Restated Agreement is the product of informed negotiations and involves compromises of the Parties’ previously stated legal positions. Accordingly, it does not reflect upon the Parties’ views as to rights and obligations with respect to matters or Persons outside its scope. This Amended and Restated Agreement is without prejudice to positions taken by Mt. XxXxxxxx and Everest with regard to other insureds, and without prejudice to positions taken by Congoleum, the FCR and the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee with regard to other insurers.

15.5 This Amended and Restated Agreement is the jointly-drafted product of arm’s-length negotiations between the Parties, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee and the FCR with the benefit of advice from counsel, and the Parties, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee and the FCR agree that it shall be so construed. As such, no Party will claim that any ambiguity in this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be construed against the other Party.

15.6 No change, amendment or modification of this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed on behalf of Congoleum, Mt. McKinley, Everest, the FCR and the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee (or their respective attorney-in-fact).

15.7 This Amended and Restated Agreement, including the Attachments hereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all discussions, agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect hereto.

15.8 This Amended and Restated Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of New Jersey without regard to its choice of law rules.

15.9 There may be multiple originals of this Amended and Restated Agreement, which may be executed in counterparts. Facsimiles or scanned versions of signatures of the undersigned shall be treated as originals.

15.10 This Amended and Restated Agreement shall be binding, in accordance with its terms, upon any subsequent trustee in the Chapter 11 Cases and any successor to the FCR.

15.11 Upon the later of its formation and the occurrence of the effective date of the Plan, the Plan Trust shall become a Party to this Amended and Restated Agreement, automatically and without any further action.

15.12 Unless another person is designated, in writing, for the receipt of notices hereunder, notices to the undersigned shall be sent to the following Persons; provided, however, that notices to the Plan Trust shall be sent to such Person(s) as the Plan Trust designates in writing.
